The VideoGame MegaPack 4 (SUBMISSIONS CLOSED)!

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

Absolutely! You can submit as many files as you want!

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

I posted a couple more reviews. I'm getting pretty excited with what I've been seeing so far.

But seriously, guys- If the song has been previously released, at least send in a new/unreleased version of that chart, or it will not be considered.

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

rofl wiosna was almost a joke file (10 minutes of effort, bad sync in spots) but i'm working on something more upbeat which i'll send over soon-ish

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

Alright, sent something.

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

Minuit A Fond La Caisse (James May): The chart is solid. My only complaint would be the mines. They don't really seem like they go to anything in particular. Feels like they were just shoved in for the sake of it. Can you give me a little insight into your mine placement? Regardless, the file is definitely enjoyable. Yes.

Inside the Pirate Ship (NeonSM): The main problem with this file is the song. It doesn't really provide much for you to get creative with. A bunch of the notes don't go to anything, but again, mainly the songs fault. Please don't get discouraged, I'd love to see you send in a different file! No.

Intension (Blind): I'm really having a hard time telling what the jumps and quick little 48ths are going to. Otherwise there's not much to the file than a giant stream (which is fine with me, it makes me think of the old days). It's not bad, but the song doesn't give you much to work with. Undecided, for now.

Variations of Castle (Charu): WOW. Playing this file actually made me giddy. It's so much fun, the music is awesome, the chart is well done and overall an absolute blast. NO complaints from me! YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES.

Wiosna (rCaliberGX): Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......... (But seriously, if it's a joke file, I don't want it. If you put more effort into it, fix the sync and touch it up a bit, it would be a yes from me. There's nothing wrong with easy files).

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

Oh, well that's awesome, hahaha.

Credit goes to Gradiant for syncing in case you missed that!

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!


Pretty much, hahaha.

Tsuka review:
Intension - Ristar! One of my favorite games and soundtracks. I'm undecided about the Hard chart since this is one is obviously a score attack type file. I'll give my verdict after I've had a look in the editor at a slow rate to see how well sync and pitch-relevant/stereoscopic that patterns are. The novice version of the chart though is a complete mess lol. It's just a button mash fest to me and I didn't overall enjoy it. It can remain in the complete chart, but to offset that damage I'm going to want to see an easier, fleshed out simple version of the chart for beginner/intermediate players to enjoy. Shouldn't be hard, given the song has many layers, so please indulge us with further exploration of this file.

My take: The Beginner chart is everything layered in, and what people like to play now n' days. Well, at least some people. Overlayered pieces of work. This chart doesn't have PR if any at all. The hard chart is just the main part of the song and the third layer. This is some type of instrument I can't put my finger on that I followed. The second layer is skipped in this chart, it doesn't follow the bass at all. I have a chart for just following the 48th stream and another chart for the bass/third layer if you'd like to take a look. Also, I have a perfect idea for an easier chart. Probably two easy ones.

My take: Like I previously mentioned, I have a chart for each layer to show what I followed if you'd like to look as well. With it being so short, and only three things to follow, mainly only one, I did what I could do.


Thanks for reviewing guys!

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

(I could reply but, I am not. Let's just leave it at that.)

...Well, I am done here. I'll download once the pack is complete though. I do enjoy the VGMP's thusfar. I hope it turns out as good or even better than previous ones.

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

:') ty Tsuka haha. This really mean a lot to me <3 I actually love to step songs from that particular game due to it having so much diversity to cram out every bit of experimental works :3

I was experimenting with mines on this file. The mines on the intro was to layer to the bird chirping and then the rest was to accentuate on the "whoosh" and to add emphasis on the quieter sounds. If you want, I can remove some of the mines that you find to be bothersome whenever I get the chance to redo the chart. Glad you find it enjoyable though :3

Re: The VideoGame MegaPack 4!

Cool, thank you for the insight into the beginner chart! Yeah, that's what I figured; usually when folks include charts that have stepped to literally almost everything possible that can be stepped in a song, they categorize that under beginner/novice or edit. As people know (and hope they understand), some of us are of the old ways of stepping mans, so can only operate off the basis of old-school critiquing methods, but I'm sure Choof and Kommisar will provide some much needed and appreciated insight on the charts as well. I'm looking forward to your edits, and other submissions.


REVIEWS!

Variations of Castle - DUDE! This was awesome. Really fun chart, the sync was very well done, and the patterns flowed excellent together. You're definitely another one to watch out for imho. Resounding yes.

Working Together (Update) - Still fun to me, I'll let the others work out their opinions on technicality details- All I'm going to say is that I hope no one decides to mess around with the long 16th note stream (You know the one) because that was nicely done IMHO and REALLY fun haha.

Tal Tal Heights - One of my favorite remixes from SSBB! And favorite Zelda songs in general from Links Awakening. I play tested the hard and challenge versions of the charts. The hard version of the chart has some mine placement that I'm a bit iffy about. I felt that they took away from my enjoyment of the chart moreso than adding to the challenge. The chart itself is good and on-par with what I would expect a good and accepted submission for this song would look like, but I would like to see if something else can be done about those 16th note jacks in the beginning. That's like, the one part of the chart I don't agree with/don't like...They just barely need to be moved over to a different finger or the pattern needs to be revisited so it rolls better. My two cents.

Madness (Little Fugue) - I appreciated the inclusion of multiple charts for this, but there wasn't enough variation between the three other than the inclusion of some harder stream within certain segments and mine placements (Which were good by the way). I'd like to see the focus/structure reorganized somewhat to allow for the merging of two charts into a singular, more challenging chart, and an index version of the chart to allow it to be more accessible. This will most likely be a yes after this.


Akubyou Taisan - I really enjoyed this one and the pattern placement; someone took some good notes on playing with mini-jacks. I do see some missed opportunities throughout the chart that others can elaborate on, but near the beginning you establish a particular rhythm with the song using 32nd notes which is good, but are missed or avoided later on. The latter half of measure 29 is a glaring example of that, and there are more if you review the file further. Because of this, this makes the chart feel off-kilter at times. This file is really fun, just needs a little bit more fleshing out to fully explore. This will most likely be a yes after this.
