Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

Stinger is definitely hard but still overrated. Stinger also reminds me of Dist Squad -- useless "jump" patterns because transitioning into jumps isn't fluent and not even worth the trouble in some parts.

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

LUV CAN SAVE U and Devil's Staircase are definitely the top two favorites this round.

However, I'm going to lean on LUV CAN SAVE U just because it's a bit catchier than Devil's Staircase.

And Razor already got a best favorite of me anyways, so NYA!

Mmm, I'm not sure I could comfortably agree with this being below 90 simply because it assaults you with 20+ NPS bursts with some ridiculous transitions. This was initially rated a 92, but I docked it one point because of frame fixing.

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

Favorite file was cutthroat BY FAR
Least favorite file was Stinger by far.
Enchanting Venus was really fun
LUV CAN SAVE U was hard for me but really fun!
Lawn Wake XI is not my cup of tea

Devilz Staircase is honestly more like a 72-73 haha

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

The start to Devilz Staircase was odd, not having all the 12ths stepped took me off guard for a second but it didn't take me that long to get used to how you only stepped the descending notes of the arpeggios.
The drum section was very fun. Lower NPS than the rest of the file but it didn't feel empty at all, great changeup from the intro.
The 16th jumpjack transitions were done very well, other people could learn a lot from how you avoided awkward 1-handed jack patterns *cough*
The polyrhythms were not overbearing and felt relevant to the music (as in, you could clearly hear the bass drum that is being layered in)
The ending was super fun without being too ridiculous of a difficulty spike.

Overall a really fun file

Awesome! Neat tribute to the IIDX chart.

Great job with the chart overall -- I kinda wish it was a touch more aggressive in the beginning, but I do understand the stylistic choice of following only descending arpeggios in the intro.

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

I think stinger is also overrated. i usually can't read 90s and up, but this i can
weird music this round, not sure i like the songs...

**EzExZeRo7497** · 03-8-2013, 04:49 AM

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

Enchanted Venus: Nice easy file, really smooth overall.
LUV CAN SAVE U: Cute song. There's something about bmah JS patterns that I really like, can't pinpoint what. Great job on the file.
Devil's Staircase: Didn't enjoy it as much as the others did, but holy shit this is pretty fun lmao. Sick job Jesse.
Cutthroat: Goddamn why do I suck so much at this file lol. Really liked the file, didn't really like the 192nds though.
Lawn Wake XI: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA, not a big fan of some of the bursts, some of the other bursts are fun as hell to hit though.
Stinger: Ji is my new favourite simfile artist pce. Extremely fun file, I find this to be a 91 honestly. Wouldn't mind seeing this as a 90 though.

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

Stinger was actually rated a 90 but with the scale shift we ended up bumping to 91. I wouldn't know really cause once we hit this point I'm clueless lol.

**EzExZeRo7497** · 03-8-2013, 04:57 AM

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

Yeah, I feel that it would compare with some of the other 89s such as Magical 8bit Tour and Almost There, probably a notch under AQD, which is a 92. I don't know what the others would think though, haha.

though i'm probably making the thread irrelevant so feel free to make a [90 or 91] thread oop

ez.

90-92 are the hardest songs in the game
93-95 everyone has something to whine about in the song
96+ are dumb

Metro is the exception.

Re: Official Tournament Round 7 Song Discussion

The file was just ass with the bursts upon conversion. Rob instructed me to rate it a 92 when the scale change happened, but I docked it to 91 because I managed to clean up a decent deal of it... it didn't come out perfect, though. Oh well.
