Re: Which stepchart, to you, is as close to perfect as it gets?
Already posted in this thread, but i figured I'd say my fav file as of right now is calamity fortune. i dont think the file is technically "perfect" like the oldies are [Ex:Toph's bte and Hayden's Ageha] but perfect doesn't always mean fun. There are quite a few files that are technically more perfect that I find to be boring. Don't know if people want to expand on this idea.

There are a lot of things that contribute to something being fun. The chart having a song you like and being at a skill level that's entertaining to you are two things that are entirely subjective. Then there are other things which are more objective like the chart having a consistent difficulty structure, i.e. not being very easy in one half and very hard in another, or being at one difficulty level and then having one single part or section that is significantly harder and ruins scoring. The chart being on-sync (obviously) and having notes that all match sounds in the song, the chart having a recognizable structure insofar as layering and chords are placed. "Technicality" and fun are not actually two binary, separable factors, but rather how technically accurate a chart is is a single factor of fun.

XP Startup Theme.
Minus one jump near the beginning and the jump at the end, it's pretty solid and very nice to listen to. Staring at my Spaceship is also really good.

Best strat: enjoy the game, play what you feel like when you feel like it. Don't think about what you are doing or why, enjoy the gameplay, the artistry behind the stepfile, and enjoy the music.
When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

Yeah, FFR is addicting...I don't think I'll get bored with this game unless I somehow become the best at it, which won't happen.

^This
was kind of what I was wanting people to discuss more about. Being someone who is just discovering the art of step-charting, I wanted to have a sort of consensus on what people like the most about their favorite step-chart. Like some of the things you mentioned, difficulty structure being an example.
and it's your calamity fortune, not sure if anyone else ever stepped it.
Re: Which stepchart, to you, is as close to perfect as it gets?
I'm gonna make a quick list of the files off the top of my head, I feel are noteworthy for either being files I like personally or files I think are really well stepped.
S.E.B in B.E.D
Makiba
System Doctor
Xanthystrauma
Lawn Wake I
Lawn Wake IV
Grand Galop Chromatique
Perfect Cherry Storm
Momentary Life
Spacedust
Epilogue (Lol, I can tell there will be disagreements with this one XD)
Blue Army
Polyanna Rocks Your World
Cosmic Orchestra
The Rapids
Rollercoaster Ride
Holy Orders
And my favourite file in-game: Tenimuhou
There's probably more but these are the ones that immediately spring to mind.
