Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

Yep thanks Jous. You're part of the team as well. You deserve credit as much as us.

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

I didnt do anything because I didnt really care in the first place

the most work I actually spent in this pack was to make that chart that shows the song title, stepper and the difficulties, thats all

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

5 files + 2 collabs ... yeah right you didn't do anything at all

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

yuck

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

i'm going to review the hell out of this!!

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

pls do

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

here's my complete review.

Applauding Poetry Contest 6/10
the chart itself is nice but the color notes at the beginning feel very awkward to hit and they didn't NEED to be so accurate, for a matter of replay and scoring value they could be toned down. Some of the mines add artificial difficulty while the song gives no reason for them to be there except in a few silent spots. With a little care in chart building, it could have easily been eight out of ten. Score: 95.60%

A:XOVER 7/10
i could picture myself playing this over and over, really lovely file. I'm not sure about some layering choices, i find myself wondering what many jumps or hands go to… and there are a bunch of mis-followed rhythms/missed sounds. Score: 99.43%

Black + White 8/10
i really love this one and how it was done. It's not very accurate but it's the best file in the pack, hands down. Great job. Score: 99.84%

For the Ikarus 6/10
felt a tad too easy and uninspired imo. Pitch relevancy is overall pretty bad and the ending is disproportionately harder than the rest. Better could have been done with a song like this. Score: 99.57%

Go!!! 4/10
Honestly, what is this supposed to be? Goes to nothing, is vastly offsync and does not represent the song at all. I'm sorry, quit out.

Hacking to the gate 5/10
Not better than the previous one, so many sounds flat out missed or misfollowed. As the chart goes it's fun but again, it does not represent the music. Score: 99.28%

Hello Windows 2/10
wow. No. When you have a song this long and this repetitive, if you REALLY have to step it, you cut it. There's over 20 measures of exactly the same rhythm, same melody, same sounds with some faint and inaudible variations. And even cut, it needed more jack theory and a smarter layering to accent each sequence's peculiar melody. Quit out.

I wish 3/10
The difficulty spikes are simply ridiculous. The file is offsync and the color note usage is for the most part completely wrong. I basically gave up hitting it accurately after the gigantic roll.

Innocent sorrow 6/10
12th jumpjacks… why? Overall some inconsistencies and missing sounds but it's fun to play. Score: 98.86 %

Little busters forever 4/10
The patterns are completely freeform and very unfun to hit. The one handed minijacks are awful and the 8th jumps are just boring and don't feel like they represent anything that is going on with the music. Quit out.

Dou Kangaete etc etc 7/10
Very fun easy file, starting from the middle it lacks focus on peculiar sounds and feels rather generic. Score: 99.77%

Obelisque 7/10
The steps are fun but they just DON'T feel like they represent the melody. The song is very sweet and i love it, and the chart is really amazing to hit, but they feel disconnected from each other. That really detracts from the playing experience in my opinion. Score: 99.75%

over there 8/10
I like how the chart is structured ALTHOUGH i would have done it slightly differently - more specifically, i find it really annoying that the bpm is sped up all the way to 250. It is however fun all around and feels like playing the actual instruments for the most part. Nice job Score: 98.54%

Rabbit of happiness 5/10
boring and with pretty bad difficulty spikes which make it worthless even as an easy file for less advanced players. Quit out.

Rage on 7/10
Pretty nice and energetic file which suffers, like many other files in this pack, of layer and focus to better accent instruments, while making a distinction between louder and fainter sounds. And it has yellow note syndrome. Score: 99.62%

Snow kiss 6/10
After finished playing this file i could remember basically nothing of it. It felt okay… nothing memorable for sure. Score: 99.06%

splash free 4/10
awful 32nds, file's boring and out of focus. Quit out.

Still shy VIP 4/10
I play pad and this isn't the slighest bit fun on pad. It has no climax, no buildup, and while on pad pitch relevancy is limited and can be taken with a grain of salt it's still applicable and makes files more enjoyable. Not only that, but in the process of dumbing down the difficulty of the file you removed any interesting sound in it and it all comes out very boring and tedious to play. I noticed some nasty double steps too.

Streak 3/10
Overdone mines, jacks, no pitch relevancy… this has the potential to be a kick ass file, but it's unplayable like this. Quit out.

Your son is better than the seven seas 4/10
I was having a blue combo until 3/4 of the song and then… 24ths. Why putting them like that? That really ruined my playing experience of this file, which, while still being generic and all, is very fun to MA. Score: 97.25%

________________________________________

Making a pack, even a small one is a lot of work and i want to compliment you for that. However, many files left a lot to be desired and could have been dramatically better with some more careful charting. The graphics are ok and get the job done.

My final rating on this pack: 6/10 (not an average)

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

In GO!! the Expert chart is EDIT material. It's basically a toughened version of the hard because I felt like it. GO!! isn't a good file though, wanted to step it for nostalgia but many anime ops feel so...not very steppable to me.

Thanks for the reviews anyway. Glad you didn't quit out on my other files.

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

oh no its offsync with 0.024 seconds END OF DA WORLD
also I wasnt en using EXPRESSIVE NOTE COLOUR I just put notes to da sound yo

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

Well that is my opinion, personally i like polished files which make me feel like i am actually PLAYING the song instruments. So these details are important.

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

yeah it was bad on my side for getting the offset wrong, also everyone has their own taste in files like for example

"I was having a blue combo until 3/4 of the song and then… 24ths. Why putting them like that? That really ruined my playing experience of this file"

while I on the other hand, and I know a few other people actually enjoy it
I tend to make files that are like FUCK YOU, cuz I enjoy them like that haha

Re: Stepmania Paradise Reborn Vol.1

wow patrick hater
