Official Tournament Round 7 Songs + bonus files

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Songs + bonus files

I get that it's a spike but saying that it "feels like a larger offender than D8" is ridiculous and way overdramatized considering all of D8's rounds, including Wanderflux which was arguably the cleanest conversion - had nasty frame conversions at times.

Nothing should happen w/o consent from Toaph (stepartist) and/or Kayla (manager). Personally, I don't think anything should happen to it period since it's been released.

Also, making a change without the stepartist's consent is also a no-go and really disrespectful; I don't care if you consider it to be a "quick fix."

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Songs + bonus files

I'll clarify, largest offender as in the conversion dramatically increases the difficulty of this particular section relative to the rest of the chart (despite the patterning lending to it being a spike regardless). Yes I'm aware there have been nasty conversion issues in the D8 charts but relative to overall intended chart difficulty this is worse imo (barring that one section towards the end of the first half of bolt thrower)

In that context I don't think it's an overdramatized claim at all, nor was I suggesting this should be done without consent from the appropriate parties. I thought it would be more beneficial from a D5 participant's perspective to have a fix applied and preceded fix with 'quick' given this is still the first day of the round and it's likely players haven't grown acclimated to the chart conversion as is yet. So I'm not sure why the tone of your response is as argumentative as it is.

It's a bit silly that the most reliable way Rob and I thought of to hit that "roll" is as [123][234][1234]

I know as a stepper it personally tilts me when conversion turns a pattern I very intentionally meant to play one way into some other dumb manip-fest that makes no sense

EDIT- just to clarify, the entire point of my files like Derby, Bolt Thrower, and Fireball is for everything to be a dumb manip-fest that makes no sense, versus how disappointing it is when I make an otherwise fun and flowing file and find it has one super out-of-place silly burst that needs to be carefully studied because it converted like trash

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Songs + bonus files

what's the rationale for this? genuinely curious

i could see an argument for playing the round as it lies and making any change later, in case a competitor is only able to play the song over the weekend or something, though this being 5 cutting to 3, seems like it'd be fairly easy to get the actual players on board with a change mid-round (and of course assuming toaph and kayla are for it)

Where does the song "Ra Variationen" come from? It's absolutely amazing and I'd love to be able to hear it without having to load up the preview each time, or without having to break my hands.

To provide an answer that doesn't involve a direct MP3 link (even if it's directly to Yuuyu's site) - it comes from this album: http://tsubu.ath.cx/~electrogic/notitle/

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Songs + bonus files

So, from what I can gather, this song comes from a 1991 scrolling shooter, which was then remixed in a 2007 Japanese album that was sold only once at some Japanese convention? And the only place people know about this song nowadays is at some old rhythm-game forum?

This is perhaps the most obscure piece of music I've ever heard.
