Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

Once again Chris pulls the win meter.

Thanks for making me feel so much better about my recent missteps in the stepman world, bro.

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

that's too easy

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

Looks like Otaku Dream files.
Cool

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

theres only an error in a simfile if you **** up something you were trying to do (eg. trying to layer every bass drum as a 1 note but forgetting one (read: not omitting)). :stepfile subjectivitay:

i'm sure the chart is terrible--the song sure is--but the vid hurt my eyes and i couldn't tell what was happening haha.

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

there's a bunch of errors if conforming to the structure given by 90% of people who make files here

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

i didn't realize he was trying to conform to the structure used by 90% of the people here o.0

do you realize the pejorative implications of calling anything that doesn't even try to adhere to some preconceived notion of how such-and-such should be done an "error?"

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

moral relativism

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

well puppet why do you think everyone judges the same


pr this



layering that





INCONSISTENCY




when playing files everyone that makes files has the same idea of how a file should be made. this is thanks to years of people making files a certain way and it becoming the more popular way to make files.

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

ok sure except that

a) -not- everybody judges the same--only people who are incapable of doing otherwise or, say, ffr judges who are required to judge that way. and

b) -not- everyone has the same idea of what makes a good file lmao how is it even possible to think this

neither PR, layering, nor consistency intrinsically add -any- quality to a file. in fact, you'll notice files that adhere to all of these things all the time tend to come out, by today's standards, exceedingly dull. if breaking from the "rules" adds ANYTHING to the file, then why is it a rule and how can you possibly justify calling it an error?

is for seasons (dcmp) completely ridden with inconsistencies and pitch relevance errors? of course not because those things weren't applied strictly to the file and it ended up being much more entertaining/expressive than, say for seasons (dcp1). if everyone judged the way you say they do and had the same ideas of what was a good file, that chart would never have seen the light of day.

of course this all applies to 4key as we know it today, especially. you can't get away with pumping out assembly line files now because IT'S BEEN DONE 10,000 TIMES. idk much about solo stepping so i doubt its reached that point plus theres far more room for variation with 6keys even within straight layering/pr exercises

is that long that seems a little long o well

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

thats p. much the general idea and is why most people are switching to solo

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

done 10,000 times





this is why i don't stepman seriously anymore. weren't you the technical perfectionist?

though i would agree with you that today's standards are pretty dumb, seeing as how most files played are still from 2004

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

what

pretty cynical, i'd say that since all the old dogs have pretty much quit the remaining scoring players are open minded about simfiles and play a lot of recent stuff. and i never said today's standards were dumb o.0

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

i read that as dumb





i meant you pretty much follow every written rule of simfile making to the letter (thus the list of theories we worked on in dcp forums)


point is, the simfile in this video is garbage and doesn't follow any kind of structure or consistency, thus takes out most of the fun out of it and becomes apparent that it's of lesser quality

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

did you seriously read that sentence as "today's standards are pretty dumb"?? i recommend backtracking a couple clauses



i am 100% sure that passage is "technically" grossly inaccurate. you're seeing something difficult and assuming it's technical overindulgence when i'm fairly certain the polyrhythms are neither rhythmically precise (they might be but it would be for sheer luck lmao) nor anything approaching pitch relevant so bad example

you SHOULD have posted chipscape or cccp or some other 2 year old dump :P

edit: i may have a misplaced sense of my own stepman "signature" but i would hope that (and think that) this isn't true. though if i have indeed been pumping out generic dondons for all this time then i apologize for my lack of ingenuity, i'll try to make cooler stuff in the future :P

this is fair enough (i've never played a QED file). the middle ground we should aim for is that pr and whatnot are fine guidelines and expressive TOOLS and TECHNIQUES, not requisite characteristics of every quality file; otherwise you denounce a whole world of pretty much -all- the best simfiles ever made

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

careful puppet. keep it up and you may get labeled as a QED fanboy hehehe
