Cool more Yuyoyup-

>Shade

well okay, one of my least favourites because it's not the usual metal from him but hey, more Yuyoyuppe is still cool :V

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

(clap) tbh I am sick and tired of these grace note infested files. Unless they are properly used, for the love of god stop using them. They're not even ~*~*~*~ExPrEsSiVe~*~*~*~ to begin with. Same thing goes for Alice's Garden. Stop using grace notes if you can't step it properly iahifflkydkdhtsuhiuakqodbuqvjdbiqghgijopgr

Are you left handed by any chance, Xiz?

Loved the Kirby song. Haven't played the token because it's broken and still need to play the newest FMO, but I just wanted to let you know Xiz that yours was pretty good!

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

Thx ^^

And yeah, I'm left handed haha. How could you tell? My files are starting to be more catered to left hander's im finding >.>

lol

S.E.B. in B.E.D -- feels slightly overstepped due to accenting style, but the chart makes sense; good first non-collab, sanzath.

PUNK FLUFFY -- rainbow quad/10 (fun file, layering is very reflective of the song's pace, although I don't quite like the jacks forced by jump-trills into triples, bad Chris)

Kirby Smash -- good file, just slightly draggy for me; file makes a lot of sense and has a clear structure. You're really getting good at charting, Xiz

Shade -- certainly not as bad as people are making it out to be. The 64ths are obviously incorrect in terms of rhythm, and the usage of them isn't exactly intuitively done. However, there is some subtle relevance in patterning near the middle where the up arrows correspond to the soft-hitting piano. The overall pitch relevance could use some improvement, though. At the very least, percussion follows the rhythm appropriately and layering structure does exist.

Best file this week goes to Kirby Smash for me.

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

The Rainbowdragoneyes file seems fun, but I don't like to play files with the sync messed up. Any ETA on a fix for that and the token?

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

Ooh nice, can't wait to see what changes you've made in your Kirby Smash file, Xiz.

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

Kirby Smash was alright. I just gotta say though that it was hilariously left-hand biased.
The layering in the ending section was a little overdone, but I guess it made sense in order to prevent that section from being boring as hell compared to the middle.
Middle was definitely the highlight. The contrast between the 24th swing and the straight 16ths was enjoyable.
Color gimmick seemed a little unnecessary, especially the white arrows. I usually prefer to make a color gimmick grace note thing like that just a 1-color jump, because that's inevitably what it winds up being in FFR. Helps with readability.

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

I'm right-handed and people complained a lot of my files were left hand biased lol. One day you'll be stepping a song that'll just turn out with a ton of right-handed stuff and people will complain about that

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

I just want to address these specific comments.

I'm going to say this once. This comment is horrendous horse shit. I spend upwards of 4 hours or more on my files (even on the power-esque one in queue as I synced it by hand.) I put in the time and effort. Don't you fucking dare say I wasn't serious if you don't see me say otherwise or a Vrofl tag on it.

You know much better as someone I've actually had a good conversation with, and even sought advice from.

I don't want to hear this from you.

Oh my god someone noticed. Hero. <3 Also I'd say the ending is entirely relevant. (by this I am referring to the last 12 seconds.)

There's always the next charts I suppose.

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

64th
So
GraceFul......like........wind..........

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

Oh boy Middie calling a comment, "horrendous horse shit"

Something about pot and kettle

p.s. you seem mad. Why don't you take a breather and then spend some of that 4 hours to PR and sync your files properly instead of jacking off to how you've managed to put grace notes everywhere
Honestly nobody cares if a piano chord actually has each of its notes played 0.005 milliseconds off from each other and therefore it should be a 729th note later instead of directly on the beat. Just use a jump bro

EDIT- honestly the more I think about it, you're probably just feeling a lot of pressure to step "good files" because you always talk shit and get called out for it, then you feel the need to live up to being a "good stepper" and that causes you to overcompensate with grace note bullshit that is "technically correct" but absolutely not fun to play and then half the time the "technically correct" stuff isn't even correct anyway
Master the fundamentals before you try making ~masterpiece artfiles~ (which are kinda overrated in the first place anyways)
Try not using DDReam, a lot of times I find DDReam makes me overcomplicate things.

Honest advice: Stop thinking so much about it and just step simply.

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

p.s. I think he meant "You can't step...seriously, wtf" not "You can't step seriously...wtf"

Re: Songs of the Week (September 28, 2013)

it doesn't matter how much time you put into it if you're spending the time wrong. don't just put a 64th gallop every time a chord is split. in this chart you have in a few places the grace note after the main note when it's actually before in the music, this really suggests to me you're not really focusing on the music but rather just intentionally placing grace notes for some reason.

your two previous charts, n's farewell and alice's garden had the same exact problems as shade: grace notes and hands in very easy files

people were unhappy and told you it was bad

i think your ego is so huge that when you've been told that it's not a good idea to load up easy files with grace notes you can't accept it as the truth because that would mean you did something wrong and need to change
so as a sort of defense/counterattack you're going to respond by doing it even more

very sick human

remember this last month
