      god that song wasn't fun. the streams were hard to read sometimes and the jacks screwed me over. not a very one hander friendly song. steps and patterns are ok.

        It wasn't that bad, it did have some nice patterns for the streams. But the song was like the same thing for 2 minutes, which made it boring.

          I didnt like that much myself, being the one three three seven 1-hander that i am.

          The song itself was nice.

            First of all this is one of the best songs I've heard so far on FFR. The steps themselves were a little wacky. The beginning streams were awesome, but then it digressed into an unreadable mess. It smoothed back out with the awesome jacks section and then went right back into the mess. If the streams were a little more like CIA Rave's then I could call this one of the best simfiles on FFR.

              Yeah, song was nice, if repetitive. This probably would have been a nice file had it been in SM (as in, with something other than C300). Omegix's comment about streams = seconded. Only a couple reservations. You did make this file (IMO) a bit too tiring, seeing as it was VERY airy most of the time (no, not in the beginning) and lasted some 2:33. As well, that little jack there on the left... I'd like to find someone who likes that.

                Seconded about the steps being tiring. My hands were running on adrenaline around the time the jacks ended. =/

                  WINNER!
                  Yeah, I kind of sucked at it, but the song was cool. Repetetive, but I liked it.
                  Steps kind of went from this back and forth thing down to some wacky stuff- but I liked it.
                  WINNER!

                    Crossovers in the middle of streams when they don't make any sense are lots of fun.

                    No, actually they suck. If you're going to use crossovers, use them correctly (ie where they actually make sense to use them there and not just to make it tough for indexers).

                    Also, jumps are for parts of the song where there is a more intense sound (ie a crash, or an accented note), not wherever you feel like to make it harder (like any eighth runs for example. If the eighth run isn't especially energetic or anything, it DOES NOT NEED TO BE JUMPS).

                    Worst steps in FFR/10.

                      Steps were weird but cool. Jacks at beginning were hard to combo, crossovers hard to read at 300. Song itself was cool.

                        OK. But now, for the second time, how many creds do you need stockpiled? I've got close to 2100 and all songs bought. Am I close?

                          Garbage. Streams sucked ass towards the 2nd half of the song and overuse of doubles at one point. Really gay.

                            I liked the song a lot.

                            But the steps...Ugly. The gratuitous use of jumps and overuse of crossovers really trashed the stepfile. After further play, the crossovers and jumps are just awful. There seemed to be no reason to place them there, yet they were used.

                            Once again, another great song that is weighed down because of a bad stepchart.

                              Garbage? wtf, noobs.

                              I want to murder the author in his sleep for putting those jacks in it, ruining an otherwise good file aside from the fact that it was far to long. The 16ths have extremely good flow to them and actually follow the rhythms nicely, but my eyes were burning by the end.
