Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

I must be the only one who doesn't think Retro City is much of a song, although the chart is great. Just sounds like stupid club music to me though.

I can FC Pimp Slap but it took me like 10 tries just to AA the D1 song.

wtf

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

I was a bit surprised to see Pussy Pump at 73 too. The jumpstream patterns at 226 bpm are pretty rigid, haha.

- Damn... i wanna AAA this song. Props to Elite Ninja ~ This might be my favorite file of the year so far for me xD hahaha

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

It's great to come here and see people talking positively about Retro City, because I just played it and came here specifically to mention it. This is probably my favorite song in the entire game. I love everything about the song itself and the way it is stepped. Amazing.

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

Oh yeah, I'll add my love to Retro City.

This is definitely my favorite file of the week. Both in song choice and chart!

I'm not one for dub-step, but holy crud was the music catchy.

Retro City (inlove)

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

Pussy Pump feels like it should be 2-3 points up difficulty-wise. Some of the patterns are just... what the...

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

I thought Fire was a relatively difficult file. I had some issues with it.
Granted, it may just be because I suck at hitting two notes at the same time...
But that being said, it was a lot of fun to play.

Retro City:
Wow, I really liked the song! Very glitchy with tons of choppy samples used to create this cool work of art. And the file was great too. I wonder if Razor stepped the slowdown with some sort of nod to kors k's song "D". Transitioning to that slowdown was really familiar in that sense. p.s. I love minijacks

ffffffff you're too good

Round 1 thoughts:

Warmish Walkin':
Interesting but rather strange song. Pretty constant for the first round of D1, not to mention those repetitive 8th arrows that might zone out some players' accuracies. Seems to have less breaks than last year's first D1 round. Good luck to you guys!

Swaying Sunflowers:
I felt the song sounded really amateurish , oh well. The steps were stepped as expected from the song, although there was one note that missed a jump that I spotted clearly. Can't say I loved this one...

Fire:
Short song! And while more difficult than D1's and D2's of course, I really didn't think it was that difficult to shoot to a 45 (heh, what a jump from D2's song being a 24). Cool song that had more dnb to it, hence the "drum" in drumstep.

Touch Me:
My file. You can hear the full song and view the music video here. Interestingly enough, this song is a remake of Samantha Fox's original song (video here) by the same name which hit the billboards in 1987. Hope you enjoy this sexy, albeit cheesy song.

Retro City:

Pussy Pump:
This is a hip hop song with a serious bipolar disorder. First half of the song has slow hip hop beats, constantly interrupted by fast breakcore sections. Then the second half is where all the tricky stuff occurs in the file. Great chart, Luis! p.s. I can't jumptrill

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

All songs a-ok with me. D4's is dicey X_X Good luck to them.

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

Fire and Retro City are great choices for round one. I think Retro City is one of my new favorites

Re: Official Tournament Round 1 Song Discussion

Glad to see that the comments seem to be positive on all the songs. I hope we don't run into too many file issues during this tournament.
