Everyone, well pretty much everyone has their own way to step a song, most people tend to add patterns that they're good at, I pretty much do that.

Judges judge files differently according to how they think a good file is, prob mentioned in this but yea:P

Re: How To Judge A Simfile -Alioth Perspective-

there are two criteria to judge a simfile by: 'music on' and 'music off'

music on: can I feel the music when I play this? do the steps, mines, rhythms, patterns, use of jumps/freezes/layering, bpm tricks, et cetera exemplify and flow with the music?

music off: are the patterns fun to do, do they stay creative and does the chart have its own uniqueness around it?

then dock points for bad quantization/sync et all

this.

The most important thing is that a file is both fun and makes sense to the one playing it. ("Ah, I can see why he did that with this chart")

Re: How To Judge A Simfile -Alioth Perspective-

I agree with Patashu except for the "music on/off" idea. The patterns should be considered in context with the music. Some "awkward" patterns can potentially be used extremely effectively if they flow with the music. Usually, they add a very vivid and bright flavor to the otherwise bland patterns that everyone normally uses *index*.

especially when it's the only hard part at the tail end of a 7-minute-long file
