Re: Official Tournament Round 3 Song Discussion

Great files all around this round!

(D1) Pembroke Welsh Corgi
It started off as a typical easy file to me, but that speedup section and the 8th "jumpstream" that came after it were nothing short of a pleasant surprise. Great to see the lower divisions getting enjoyable files.

(D2) ice valley "beyond the searoad"
And another nice song and file for D2. Not much to say about this one; very solid chart. Good work on the collab!

(D3) Jazzman - Super Mario Bros
Oh wow, this was a really cool mini-medley/remix, heheh.
Noticeably more tricky than the previous D3 files in terms of rhythm and patterns, but still really fun to play. Personal favorite of the week.

(D4) Slam the Door (Rogue Remix)
Overall, fairly straightforward. This was another chart that got more interesting as the song progressed.

(D5) Undiscovered Colors
Great chart. Some sections were a bit tricky, but they certainly didn't take away from the fun factor. I'm going to have to give this another try sometime with the appropriate offset, haha.

(D6/D7) Weapon
Despite being quite long, this was a well-stepped chart to an energetic song. I find the 24th runs in kommi files very flowy and fun to play, and this file is no exception. The jumpgluts/minijacks definitely require control -- a very nice challenge for everyone, I'd say.

I wanted to address this. First off, thanks so much for the kind review, haha. Yeah, I had a feeling that a lot of people were going to like this version over nois-or-e's, for obvious reasons, but it was a really nice sight to see it get such high ratings in the batch it was sent to. As far as the bolded area: best file for the song? Subjectively not -- there probably still are a lot of people that enjoyed Jae's hArDpAiN file; for all we know, stepartists used to charting this genre of songs might be able to come up with something better. It most certainly is a bad idea to call this file of 2013, seeing as how it's only February, haha.

Also, D4's song isn't a significant step up to be a kick in the face, but it is noticeable compared to last round. The cutoff should be a little bit looser because of the extreme amount of jack/jumpstream consistency.

I mean I liked Jae's file a lot if you take out the 2 minutes of complete bull shit 1 note per second stuff.

But let's be honest... you just blew it out of the water. Nice work Halogen.

No he isn't. He is the only one that manages to get them passed. I've made several, but they just haven't passed.

Haha so true. I was thinking the same thing when I first played it. "This is Poisoned Bathwater, but EASY! I OWN THIS."

Re: Official Tournament Round 3 Song Discussion

I just want to say, my favorite for this round was sort of hard to choose because all of them were fun this time around!

But, there can only be one!

My favorite of the round is Slam the Door (Rouge Remix), holy... this song was stepped so well and it was catchy to boot! Very-very nice!

Honorary mention of Undiscovered Colours as well! That chart was as fluid as it can possibly get the way Mr. Halogen stepped it.

mmmmmm (inlove)

PS: I absolutely adore the moisture level chart you utilized. That's a concept that needs to be used more often.

I'd say the rating on D2's song is spot on. It's right there on the upper end of an easy AAA for me, and 32-33 is right where I begin to have difficulties AAAing. It also seems very similar in "weight" to other similar files (short jumpstreamy bursts) at the same difficulty.

D1's song is a bit harder for me to say for sure, but it seems accurate as well.

All the songs this round seem to be very well done. Great songs and the stepfiles all look fun too, although I haven't played D4-D6 yet.

Thanks for the input on ratings. Glad to know they're not seeming super off

Re: Official Tournament Round 3 Song Discussion

a gnat keeps hovering near my face and it's messing up all my runs.. anyway my biggest gripe with Weapon is that there's just barely enough time to click the reset button and place your fingers on the right keys before it starts.. why isn't there at least 2 seconds of nothing in the beginning like it says there needs to be in the submission rules? doesn't help when you're raging over a file and you have to reset like 5 times in a row because you can't focus right away.

The 2 seconds is only to prevent the skipping/dropped notes in the beginning when a file starts in like the first second. Not all files need this 2 seconds.

Re: Official Tournament Round 3 Song Discussion

It feels that the Jazzman - Super Mario Bros for D3 is not synced right. I cannot seem to find a good offset. Currently using 2 frames but I think the correct sync is between 1 and 2.
