Songs of the Week (May 25th, 2014)

Re: Songs of the Week (May 25th, 2014)

SHIOKARA's name display is broken in the level loading screen on R3, might fix that


EDIT- the file itself is actually way less bmah than I expected.
Yeah the difficulty spikes are pretty turbo-bmah-hard and probably a little overdone...
But the rest of the patterns are distinctly non-bmah and extremely flowing. I liked it.
I'd probably have put that 1-handed grace note on to 2-hands like the one after the first roll, but besides that... damn fun patterns.

Also if anyone asks how color arrows should be used, this should be given as the example.
It makes so much sense and didn't fuck up the readability that much, just really nicely used.

lmfao that minijack in Bird Sprite, it completely ruins the file for me conceptually. It's like a solid 8/10 enjoyable file with nice patterns and a good song, and a single instance of -1/10 awkward pattern that is literally all I am ever going to mentally associate with the file. Sad.

That missing white arrow in SHIOKARA around 670 combo is going to bother the fuck out of me now that I noticed it...


EDIT- as for difficulties, Bird Sprite could possibly go up. Dense as fuc, dat minijack, etc.
Don't think o'er the flood is too far off the mark, seems mid70 to me...

I have absolutely no idea what the hell the color arrows every measure in o'er the flood were going to, but they made it really hard to read.

Pretty, though.

the track o'er the flood is about the transformation from birth/youth to old age and to death, fading and eventually rebirth(death is actually the entirely theme of that goreshit album btw),
edit: you probably need to listen to the whole track not just the cut made for ffr

the colors in o'er the flood are white, cyan(really just blue, but cyan to differentiate from all the 8ths otherwise in the chart), and green, which correspond to childhood, adulthood, and old-age, respectively (for example white symbolizes purity in childhood; blue and green are analogous with their own colors)

i think the 64th usage in the beginning wasn't that reliant because the sounds were so silent
maybe 48ths woulda been better or just ignoring it altogether

There's a missing white arrow? I don't recall...

This is some new-age stepping right here

hey that explains why I wanted to die as soon as the file ended
(only because the file contains every roll pattern I suck shit at hitting)

I have absolutely no idea what the hell the color arrows every measure in o'er the flood were going to.

ReALtaLK: The color accents are mainly there to give a sense of transition and progression through the song, and they occur at the same accented points in each color-phase. The coloring is symmetrical across the song, just like the song itself is. That's about it, it's not trying to be some hyper 24th-century stepmania theory about floods and life [I would've liked to make the accents all blue and white, but that would have forced the 64ths to be 8th accents instead, and that's terrible]

I understand that the idea is pretty hit-or-miss on a personal basis, but as far as actually trying to read/hit goes, it just takes some getting used to. M.A.M.A wasn't easy to warm up to, either...new stuff just takes some acclimatizing.

P.S: plz play the song on stereo sound output, or the ending will make no sense whatsoever with all its one-handed crap
