Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Awesome, glad to know I wasn't the only one to think this as well xD (random post, lulz)

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Lol, you're already ahead of me. My 2-0-0-1 is probably as good as it's going to get, unless I get lucky on those trills again. Anyways, I'm hoping I can make a comeback during the later rounds. xD

EDIT:

Talking about trills. OH GAWD, WHAT IS THIS TERRIBLE SIGHTREAD?!?!? ;~; (Restarts is from trying to AAA the intro burst, I gave up and settled with a double-missflag in the intro burst during my first full playthrough)

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

YES!!! Finally!!! This was almost as bad as SYSTEM, maybe even worse! But when I said I was gonna give it my all, I meant it, damn it!

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

I hate those trills.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Well, let's just take a look at that (I'll just shoot some random FMO's and FGO's)

Midnight Dragon (11)
Carlos - 4-0-2-0 (Equiv. to 8-0-0-4 since a miss is 2-0-0-2 if im not mistaken)
Zak - 10-1-0-0

Kono spoon, suteki desu ne (11)
Carlos - 27-0-1-1
Zak - 53-24-0-19

4 Chord Touhou (11)
Carlos - 15-3-0-3
Zak - 54-0-0-3

(btw I'm only picking harder songs in my opinion that stretch out skill not just because you have better scores. But, it is proving my point so far, lets continue.)

Bloodmeat [Heavy] (11)
Carlos - 11-0-0-2
Zak - 13-0-0-5

Now 12's

I Hate The 80's (12)
Carlos - 44-1-1-14
Zak - 43-8-8-13

Einstein-Rosen Bridge (12)
Carlos - 51-1-8-4
Zak - 59-3-13-10

Frictional Nevada (12)
Carlos - 29-3-0-2
Zak - 46-8-0-20



That's all I'll post for now unless I have to post more, but yes Zak has you beat on songs, but you also have him beat by quite a margin on others. For the most part, I would insist on saying you have the upper hand over him after reviewing BOTH of your stats. So, to respond again, no he does not prove to be able to beat you guys too easily. He' right up your skill level.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

I can't improve the other songs to save my life. :/

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

I've typically seen Zak as a mid-D4 player that can occasionally pull out high-D4/low-D5 scores once in awhile.

Even I have Zak beat on a good amount of FMO's and FGO's, but that doesn't make me better than him.

Choprite
Me: 18-0-0-0
Zak: 28-1-0-2

Defection
Me: 4-0-1-0
Zak: 13-1-0-1

EHHS
Me: 25-4-0-9
Zak: 43-3-0-7

Makiba
Me: 8-0-1-0
Zak: 13-1-0-0

Powerpuff Gabberz
Me: 14-0-0-0
Zak: 17-1-0-1

Cinnamon Roll
Me: 19-0-4-7
Zak: 44-1-0-4

Black Key Etude
Me: 6-0-0-6
Zak: 17-1-0-5

Then going into FGO's some comparison's are just ridiculous xD

Rage Template
Me: 78-6-35-12
Zak: 167-9-11-31

Pants
Me: 84-13-18-30
Zak: 160-9-6-25

Music (For Kirby)
Me: 115-14-53-29
Zak: 278-21-35-53

My point still stands though that even though I have Zak beat on a few scores, that he is overall the better player. The point of all this being, that just because someone has you beat on a particular chart, doesn't automatically make them equal to or greater than your skill level (hence why I'm still ghosting D3A.)

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Man wtf haha

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

its better than mine lmfao

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

This is amazing. Also try mirror on it, was a godsend for me. You probably won't be able to hit the opening burst but the trill section gets way easier if you do

P.S: The comeback during the later rounds is exactly what I'm worried about x.x

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

inorite? Mfw when I have a bunch of FGO's with better scores xD
Oh my x.x Well, you're really going to hate me then...
That opening burst trolls me all the time. On one hand I either miss or double-missflag, and then if I switch the mirror, then I get like 6 goods. lmfao And damn right I'll be coming for you in a later rounds, I'm just waiting for a nice, dense, JS chart to come our way. :3

Anyways, A little whoring goes a long way. ;~;

I go from this:


and then I finally managed to pull this out of my ass after 41 restarts
;~;


This is a AMAZING score from me considering I'm bad at trills and that's basically 99% of this song. So I'm satisfied. ^_^

One more question before I end this post...
HOW THE FUQ DO YOU FC THESE SONGS?!?!? asdljflaskdjflkdasjflkadjflkj (I still haven't FC'ed for anyone that's curious...)

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

holy crap. you guys are crushing that song, nice one

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

These charts from Hi19 can die in a ****ing fire. My computer refuses to not bull **** me in the ass with a screwdriver.

AAAing these is impossible with this kinda shit happening.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Haha you beat middie on it, master of trills. Nice job reuben, amazing PA! O.O

also lol 41 restarts.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Oh, so it's my fault that your computer is awful

Gotcha

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

IT'S 3 AM.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Too lazy to AAA 0x1311 and I gave SYSTEM like a dozen more tries but kept derping. I really have no desire left to improve my 5-0-0-3, it's not like I'm going to be winning my division anyway haha

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

aaaing system = auto d5 win

i call it now

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Potential RIP D3A

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

How 'bout dat long post wif dem revjuuz hi19?

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Are you ****ing crazy? S.Y.S.T.E.M was so much harder than Pure Ruby to AAA >.>

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Just wait for the JS rounds to start :3

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

I swear that Beast Within is going to cost me the win :< total restarts ever since the start is right now around 420 x.x I'm just praying that I can AAA it before Round 2 ends...

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

o sry i didnt do dem yet i do latr just 4 u bby

btw ur file is totally coo

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Here you go Scintill~


Division 1
=======
Song 1: Summer
Stepartist: ichliebekase
Missed a few rhythms that I would have stepped, especially in the drums at the end.
Layering seemed consistent enough but the pattern choice was sort of all over the place. Not sure if you were going for flow or PR, sort of felt jumbled to me in that regard.
Nothing really wrong with it, but the pattern choice was not my cup of tea.
Song 2: Yellow Sunrise [standard]
Stepartist: Razor
Nice stuff, layering made sense, patterns were in general well chosen.
Pretty clearly deliberately understepped, I'm excited to see the [Heavy] version of this ^_^

Division 2
=======
Song 1: Prelude OP.53 No.5
Stepartist: hi19hi19
Pretty clearly a file that wasn't used in the Kapustin round of my tournament. It fell right between where I wanted D1 and D2 difficulties to be for round 1.
Cool file but it got horribly offsync during the conversion process. If you guys want, I can convert it for you, hate to see the file in-game like this >_<
Song 2: I Will Love Again (Nightcore Mix)
Stepartist: Elite Ninja
Very basic, fun stuff.
This kind of file reminds me of a file from 2006 or so, in a good way. No focus on technicality at all, just solid fun patterns and good energy.

Division 3
=======
Song 1: Rivers of Avalon (Nightcore Mix)
Stepartist: Elite Ninja
Got the same vibe from this file as I Will Love Again, real oldschool style file.
Some of the 16th patterns I would have chose differently (a few of them that ended in one-handed gallops) and I'm not sure why you layered the jumps in the 16ths at the end but not at the beginning, was that climax theory at work or was there a sound I missed?
But this kind of file, you usually ignore technicality discussions... it was pretty fun and the song had a great energy, that's what counts in the end.
Song 2: Chopin Ragtime
Stepartist: hi19hi19
Already addressed this. Not my favorite of my own files, I stepped it mostly because the song is cool. +1 respect to anyone who knows which Chopin song this is a remix of (it's a pretty well-known one, but still cool if you know)
Swing rhythms are fun but the difficulty is extremely spiky, and because I went so technical everywhere else in the file the trills would have felt out of place as hell if I had used different patterns.

Division 4
=======
Song 1: Theme of Payon
Stepartist: hi19hi19
lol the difficulty rating for this file
Anyway it's a trill file, haters gonna hate.
This was actually originally going to be the D1 finals for my tournament, but I decided that a proper finals chart should test more than just trilling lol
Glad I switched at the last minute to Pollinosis.
Song 2: Let Me Hit It (Audiostalkers Original Mix)
Stepartist: hi19hi19
Song fuccen rulz (DROP IT! mmmm yeah~)
Made the jack transitions super easy, it would have been a sin to not step those sounds as jacks but I really tried my hardest to keep the difficulty from getting out of control.
p.s. still didn't answer why this file has an asterisk next to it in the OP lol

Division 5
=======
Song 1: La Verdine
Stepartist: Scintill
Really, really fun. This, folks, is how you properly use awkward patterns such as runningmen. To be specific, they didn't feel awkward at all because they fit the music completely.
About the only thing I would change is that right at the halfway mark there's an 8th anchor on the right arrow that has some (34) jumps in it and ends in a fast burst. I'd remove the anchor there, but honestly quite a minor complaint.
Song is peppy and unique, file is fun, no complaints. Still a Scintill file fan ^_^
Song 2: Pure Ruby
Stepartist: AlexDest
Already reviewed this for Alex a while ago, but I see it got some changes since then.
I have a lot of trouble with the rolls but they're definitely legit as far as technicality and patterns go.
Not sure about the 24ths honestly, I don't quite "feel" them in the music as I'm playing but idgaf, the file is really fun and has lots of replay value mostly due to great patterns.

Division 6
=======
Song 1: Solitude Sun
Stepartist: Halogen-
I'm usually a fan of AJ files, but this one seemed sort of rushed.
Considering the rest of the file I am not a fan of the (34)(23) and (23)(12) transitions at the start of the file. The 2-handed jumps at the end, (13)(14) kind of thing, flow much better.
Don't get me wrong- it feels like there's nothing wrong with this technically, but it's just really not my cup of tea.
Also lmfao the difficulty rating on this file... this is a 39, but St. Scarhand is a 46? DF u so crazy
Song 2: Tinkerbot Boss
Stepartist: hi19hi19
Ah this file. I love the song, especially the crazy little off-tempo sections at the end.
I wish I could have come up with something better for the roll section, because I'm not happy with how difficulty spiky that part is compared to the rest of the file.
I tried 16th rolls but they felt totally slow, 24ths really were the correct choice I guess...
idk that section bothers me personally but the file is okay I guess

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Surprised to see a compliment on this chart actually haha. I didn't expect anyone to like it. Thanks ^^

Yep, it sure was climax theory. Didn't want it to be repetitive so I spiced it up. I do agree that some of the pattern choices were poorly chosen. When I stepped this I sorta stepped it in a symmetrical way which I did a lot when I was new to stepping. I wasn't very good at stepping with variety back then. Thanks for the review ^^



Also I get comments about my files feeling oldschool a lot .-. (why?)

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

They're not super technical with regards to layering or anything. You don't use PR particularly much and there's almost zero ~artsy color notes~
I could be more specific, but in general it's just solid fun stuff, the way files used to be before people turned it into a fuccen art form (guilty as charged, btw)

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

This lol. Glad I am not the only one who thought this would be more in the 44-45 range.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Both files should be in the 42-44 range in my opinion. I score very similarly on both.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

hmm really sucks it had to go down like this. this big of a defecit this early is veeeeeeeeery discouraging xD. putting this file in for me is like putting club in for someone who is terrible at jacks lmao. ive tried everything, ive tried hybriding the trills, i even tried playing the song as spread and nothing works haha.

so far :

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

thankies <3 :)

[Heavy]'s pretty coo too ^__^

Just wanted to point out that chocobothief with 240000 is under MrPreggers with 239940 in the spreadsheet.

Also mfw D5A is easier than D5B right now lol.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Nailed it.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

One replay dammmm lmfao

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Rebound's Vibrajacking pack works wonders. :p


Improved by one good (2-0-0-0) but I pressed ctrl by accident. Hope this will suffice for now. ;_;

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Meh, this chart is meh ... lol just some patterns with the jacks that are just so one handed that ... bleh hahaha the jacks looked kinda ****ed up on the engine for me though so ... idk

either way, this is the best imma get






And .... **** my life what is with me and my blackflag disease

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Hey guys count me out.
I'm busy with my internship and the difficult of the songs i need to play is still too high for me.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

><;;

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

I tried my best in order to AAA but I honestly don't have the patience with this song nor the time... But 2 goods is the best I can pull trough. I gaved it my all on it

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

mfw when you're beating me by 2 boos ._.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

may have had the patience to triple a this if ffr wasn't such a pile of crap that i have to restart 15 times before i can get a run with no lag

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Typical Halogen chart, not even going to bother with this



Cant roll so I jumptrilled lol

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

The rolls are 225 bpm on the dot, shouldn't that make them have no 2-framers? (or is that if they were 32nd rolls, too lazy to math right now)

Either way nice jumptrilling PA, I tried rolling it legit and got dsafjdkfl so then I tried jumptrilling it and asdlfsdjfl neither worked lol

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

I jumptrill them and it works. Not all the time though.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

This is actually a really amazing score coming from me considering I can't jack for sh**. xD Anyways, yay, finally FC'ed. \o/

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

Dangit, if my computer won't load Let Me Hit It beyond 7%, I will be forced to drop out. Yesterday I was having complications with the load times. Hope it doesn't continue today.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

have you done the usual things like clearing cache and stuff?

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
 

You probably had a fail at 7%, when I fail to load a song in DF, I'm forced to clear my cache or it won't load

EDIT: **** got ninja'd

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #7
