Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

kay. please actually come out and say it instead of doing it behind your back and such next time

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Maxghost I missed you~

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

just ban middie everytime he degrades someone about their chart

that would make ffr a better place, tbh

anyone else that's abrasive will at least tell you why they think the file is bad

ps if jack the ripper is the same one from secret santa two then it already owns

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Kind im Einshlummern should be Kind im Einschlummern, which is german for roughly "Child that is falling asleep".
[you just missed the 'c' but Einshlummern is not a word ]

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Looks like the song was spelt correctly in the original file, but a typo must've been made since. Thanks for the correction!

just played autumn insomnia session (public now yay)






























sex

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

i had to quit out of to make end of the battle, i did not like that file at all sorry lol (since 1983 was way better :P)

everything else i liked

so much jack the ripper hate lol, i found the file fun and i like how yoshl brings something new to the table (although the very very end of the file seemed awkward did not sit particularly well with me lol)

favs were G air and case closed

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Kind im Eincshlummern: Easy file of the week. Not much to say, nice song and chart for the newer players.

Case Closed: Wow, I really enjoyed this file! Played it with the volume down low the first time though, wish I didn't so I could hear the lyrics better on the sightread. Definitely playing this file more in the near future!

Aerospace: Another pretty fun file! Went by fairly quick and the patterns felt pretty smooth (rolls might get you off guard on the sightread, but they are fine after that).

G air: WOW! Okay wow, typically when I see a harder file by bmah there is always at least ONE section in that file I always dislike (crazy burst/pattern/framer(s)/camel jack(s)/etc) but this has NONE of that! LOVELY fast jump-stream patterns and TWO handed trills which flow very well. Great file bmah, seriously it was really fun.

Jack-the-Ripper: Song was alright, although there were some patterns in the chart I felt were a little awkward to hit (some of the trill alternations in the beginning and the 192nd section felt a little odd).
EDIT: What is that 24th pattern at note ~780 lol? Patterns still felt awkward on the replay, but it is a lot more manageable when you know what's coming.
EDIT 2: WOOO I AAA'd IT!!
Here is the potential mind block pattern I'm talking about:

If you were having trouble with it like I was, practice it with this screenshot.

To Make the End of Battle: After seeing that screenshot Zeta posted I was very skeptical about this chart, but it turned out to be a lot better than I thought it would be. The 32nds there are much farther apart than that screenshot lets on, but they are still pretty fast though. I don't mind jump gluts/jacks too much at this speed so I didn't hate this file, but if you aren't a fan of that it goes on throughout the entire chart (so get ready to hate).

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Aerospace: Layering was strange in the beginning. Did not like the change from jumps to the downbeat bass drums to jumps to on the offbeat- it just didn't "feel" like the song to me. White arrows were unnecessary- perhaps in the slow part they were okay, but you could barely even hear the gunshot noise they are going to in the later layered sections. Also very strange that some were single arrows and some were jumps, the musical justification for that was not immediately apparent which means your gimmick missed the mark. Roll patterns in the end were very good.
Not incredibly noteworthy file for me, but it was fun.

Case Closed: Very good. Rhythms were close enough, patterns flowed nicely.
There was one 48th burst that went 4(13)2 which was a little tricky but not anything worth crying over. File of the week for me and an excellent addition to the hip-hop genre.

G air: I quit at the massive (12)2(12)2 trill anchor, don't plan to ever play again. Please stop accepting files with retarded pattern-related difficulty spikes. Thanks.

Jack-the-Ripper: "This kind of sounds maybe like a slide" is not a good justification for a grace note. Absolutely NO idea what those white arrows were for, plus you didn't fix their frame placement with BPM changes so not only are they nonsensical, they're also framer fucced.
The 24th burst pattern was bad. The (14) into quad jack felt out of place.
The layering of the 16ths felt arbitrary. (34)3(34) and (12)2(12) anchors everywhere- they did make sense with the music but it's still not a fun pattern on FFR due to boos.
This song had a lot of potential but there were tons of "...why..." moments as I was playing through. A missed opportunity.

Kind im Einshlummern: I like how it starts with a pattern that feels very wrong if you are expecting the file to be PR'd lol
I've already gone over why I think this kind of easy file is bad for the game. That said this is better than most of the throwaway easy charts that have been added recently, so grats I guess.

To Make the End of Battle: I hope that at least after playing this nobody will complain about the 8th jump patterns in Reality, now that they've seen how bad it could have been.
A shame too because I really enjoyed the 16th & 12th patterns and the majority of the less-dense 8th sections. Just a few places had bad 43(34) transitions and such like that, in my opinion the judges really need to pay more attention to those.
The 32nd flams at the end were trolly but they made sense with the music. Should have used easier patterns for them (pseudo-jumptrills) to avoid the difficulty spike.




Honestly you know a release was bad when my post is about as negative as Middie's.
Disappointed with this week's offerings... at least it can only get better next week. I hope!

EDIT- I swear someday I am going to submit a file that is all (12)2(12) anchors and the judges won't even notice that it will be terrible to play when it actually gets in the game :/

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Case Closed is fantastic, and so is Aerospace (def not a 63 imo though lol, show me one that has similar patterns and density at its most intense...probably a 64 at least, maybe a 65.)

People have already railed on Jack the Ripper enough lol - I find Yoshl's files interesting: they're always very unique and 'out-there' compared to other stepfiles. Sometimes the experiments work very well and are memorable, sometimes they don't...and then they're also memorable, but not in a good way <:

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Aerospace is still meh, thought the same thing when I judged.
Sightread AAA'd Case Closed, was pleasantly surprised, it was pretty fun for a hip-hop song.
I'm surprised at the hate on G air, still one of my favorites, especially from bmah.
Jack-the-Ripper, I've seen worse, but around the middle, it seemed like the notes were a little early. Could have just been me or my computer, not sure.
Kind im Einschlummern was good, not much else to say.
This.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

IMO, if you quit out of a song, then you can't ever make a proper review. Don't bother telling me your opinion if you won't even be willing to see the entire picture.

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

Right, thats like drawing part of a picture and someone telling you it sucks without you even finishing it.. :P

Re: Songs of the Week (October 6, 2012)

i quit out of the song well into it because i didn't find it fun, if the last 30 seconds were somehow amazing that wouldn't change anything for me lol

edit: o realize u were talking to hi19 lol, oh well my point for my quit out stays :P
