    Picking out the perfect stepfile-easy!

    If you want to be able to get the best stepfile you want, here are some tips:


    -This one I found the best: the rating average. Here is my scale of ratings:

    1-worthless Sh*t
    2-not worthy
    3-tons of flaws
    4-below average
    5-average
    6-above average
    7-few flaws
    8-what is the minimum rating for my stepfile pleasure
    9-almost perfect
    10-god of stepfiles

    of course, not everyone rates perfectly. You can tell a file has had lots of good ratings by not solid 8's, 9's and 10's, but have rating averages in between, like 8.33 or 9.10.


    Downloads- look for big numbers. If there is low ratings and high downloads, the people who downloaded before looking at criticism, have never seen this thread

    That wraps things up, so bye!

    We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

          Ratings are skewed. Some people will downrate a file because it's too hard for them, which is the case with a lot of keyboard files. People also downrate for stupid reasons. By the same token, people will uprate files simply because they like the song. People also uprate files that they do extremely well on simply because they can't be bothered to say that something hard is also well-made.

          Download counts only show how popular the song is, especially in simfiles that have no Resonance compatibility or files on Bemanistyle (even with the stepfile parser).

          How to find the best simfiles? Download files from people who are well-known for making really good simfiles.

            Ratings never make sense. I have 10s on all my easy files that suck, and all my files that are too "hard" get 1s, which also suck but not as much as my older files.

              Never look at the ratings for your decision. Ducky gave all the reasons why the ratings don't work. Just look at the comments from known people, etc.

                Here you go, one of my files, which I myself rate a 5 rofl.

                Try it





                PS: Ducky is completely right, many good files are rated bad because steps are too hard for most people.
