    Xandertrax's Guide to Stepping

    1. Pick your favorite classical song. Preferably one that has a lot of notes.
    2. Either make a midi yourself (even though you don't have any quality midi software) or find some performance. Sync with ddream.
    3. Follow PR as precisely as you can. To a T. Basically, beyond the point where you can't tell it's PR while you're playing unless you sit back and analyze the notes. Then it'll actually make sense.
    4. Give the file out to lots of people to playtesting to test for awkward patterns, since apparently what feels 'normal' to you is awkward to 90% of the other players.
    5. Change some arrows around, but remember the original PR.
    6. Get files in-game.

    7. Sit back and lol while everyone circlejerks about how awkward the files are, but continue to whore them because they want the AAA.

    And voila! Social experiment complete. People really will do something that they don't find fun if they think it'll increase their e-peen. Or real life status, to be honest.

    tl;dr—nobody understands my files. I think they're fun. Deal with it. Don't play them if you don't like it. Nobody's making you besides yourself.

          I've always wondered why your files get accepted.

            if this is a response to my WWE score, sorry, it's mostly out of frustration/anger toward the community. I genuinely dislike a majority of your files, pretty much the only one I can even stand playing is Scythe of 13. Saying "deal with it; don't play them if you don't like them" is a stupid thing to say considering certain players are forced to play them to keep their ranks decent.

                He is claiming that people who want to keep their ranks decent are silly. He doesn't understand the idea of a hobby.

                  then he has no right to say "don't play them if you don't like them". End of story.

                    Why would you put that in your signature? You've lost your signature rights for a month. (You'll get them back on March 10th, 2012.)

                        Meh.. I just don't like the idea that he wouldn't at least try for quality.

                          Lots of notes...

                          Like this?


                          or like this?


                          PS: Yes I these are actually from a file I stepped.

                          Edit: I hate all your files and think this is a waste of time. Even if they're technically correct, it doesn't mean it's a good file.
