We're looking at about 32 or 33 songs in the pack at the moment. We have some internal stuff to discuss before I update the list though.

Basically, if you guys want files in the pack get your shit together and send them soon or you might miss out on this volume

Review time

Some authentic Chinese file right here. Really awesome song, and overall a really solid chart. This is personally my favorite of the two you submitted. I struggle to find any solid critiques for this, overall I love this file, as did the rest of the judges.

Another solid authentic Chinese file. On my initial look at this I was concerned that the right and left jacks might be a little bit overkill but while playing they felt really good to me. Definitely the harder of the two files you submitted and once again I'm at a loss of complaints to forward to you.

Overall this song is awesome and has some super cool potential but I feel like some parts are mis-stepped and underlayered to really make it a good enough file for the pack. Since you seperated your readme into sections I'm going to critique based on the sections instead of just by the time

m0:m4 - This part is fine
m4:m12 - Undercharted. The triplet piano in the background is just begging to be stepped here! The weird 32nd notes also don't feel like they go to anything, imo ditch the color notes and step the piano instead.
m12:m20 - The harp could be stepped here but it wouldnt fit with the string layering so I'm okay with this section as is.
m20:m24 - Fun section
m24:m32 - I was originally concerned this section might be a little boring but its actually a lot of fun to play and leads into the 16ths reall nicely.
m32:m40 - Really fun section
m40:m52 - Jacks are perfectly managable and they feel really fun to play. Another really fun section.
m52:m60 - This is the section that infuriates me the most to be honest. The piano/harp in the background is just begging to be stepped and it sounds like it would be so fun, but instead you only stepped vocals on the quarter notes??? IMO you should shorten the holds by a lot and step these background piano/harp notes, it would make this section so fun. There's a similar thing going on in m12:m20 but its so much clearer in this section that I would expect it to be stepped here, but not necesarily before.
m60:m64 - Fine by me. The 24ths are a little silly but if you change the previous section I think it'll fit.
m64:m68 - Fun section, nothing inherently wrong here
m68:m76 - Oh god lol. This kind of comes out of nowhere. Personally I didn't have any issue with the patterns or rythms here but some of us (the judges) found it to be a tad strange/awkward to play. Personally I think this section makes the whole file and I wouldn't change it for the world, but its up to you if you want to smooth the patterns out a bit.

If you address our concerns I'd gladly take this file, I think the song is amazing and has some awesome potential, even if it would be a little on the easier end for this pack. Consider double checking the sync as well, some parts feel a tiny bit off. I think maybe the offset should be just a few milliseconds higher? I really hope you take some of my advice into consideration and re-submit because I think I would really enjoy this file!

I'll just send Mathsma Attack, file needs a home. Haven't been motivated to step lately.

(and convince Gamma to send a file)

Re: Yolomania Vol. 2 - Submissions Open!

Sent my file. Gamma's probably going to send his soon. I'd say Gamma's file is around the difficulty of... Eclipse (Solar) in HoH.

Here's my score on it (on a slightly harder version):


My file's around the same difficulty, just harder on rates

Re: Yolomania Vol. 2 - Submissions Open!

Got it. We'll review it in the next batch, along with the resubmitted Turii. Probably in a few days.

Short update:
We're currently sitting at 37 files, with 2 more waiting to be judged. I'll update the song list likely tonight or tomorrow.

Most contributed stepartists:
rCaliberGX - 10 files
Wafles - 9 files
Skwid - 6 files
MrTea - 4 files

Needless to say we've all been putting in a lot of work and overall I feel like our chart quality is SIGNIFICANTLY greater than the previous pack, which I'm thrilled about.

We actually need some more breakcore for the pack, right now we barely have any lol, hopefully the upcoming Tea files will provide this. We're pretty good on song variety otherwise.

Looking forward to releasing this around the holidays!

Just throwing this out there, but it's kinda nice to not have a ton of it.

Yeah I agree but right now we have like, 1 breakcore song. I'd like a couple more.
