I highly doubt duk's ever going to read this thread.

Be that as it may, I've already told him congrats over AIM, so it doesn't matter if he sees it or not.

Re: dukamok hired by konami to make stepcharts

Woot - ya i know, i was joking, i am fully aware that i will never play CPL :P that's why i said "closer" rather then close.


i'm also going CAL-IM sometime so i'm closer to getting paid for playing Counter-Strike then a lot of people who play.

So you're saying people in cpl do get paid?
i've played two seasons in cpl. The only things i get that are worth money are things from sponsors. By the way, cal-im is a joke. After getting out of cal-o its easy to get to i. good luck.

About Duk_Amok:

I've never played a simfile from him which was horrible. Delirium, Since 1983, and Black Dragon were all good files that I liked. But I wouldn't count on one stepfile artist to "save" the DDR franchise; that takes innovation in which stepfile artists are limited to do.

HVAM good 10 on supernova.

OOPS!

And while I do kinda agree with g4z33b0 about how duk being a step creator now isn't going to make a DRASTIC difference to the game (read his whole LJ entry and he explains that), it can still be a fair improvement. I'm pretty sure he would let us know what charts he does and we'll probably compare them to other DDR charts, and they'll probably be synced a bit better.

Also, I don't think his charts are that bad. I'm not a big fan of the "A chart has to be technical and spread-only where maybe 20 people in the world can do good on or it sucks" philosophy that SM has these days (mainly why I stopped playing).

Duk makes great charts, everyone get off his ass. I'm glad that he got that job, I mean wow, that would be like a dream for me!

haha, gl Duk

Re: dukamok hired by konami to make stepcharts

no hi19, duk does not make good charts.

open to invite is a huge jump.

Re: dukamok hired by konami to make stepcharts

wow u guys suck. It's good that ryan(dukamok) got hired so we can have a harder steps on ddr now.

In the article he said they all basically had the same kind of start he did, so i'm sure they're all just as capable as him to make ridiculous files but ddr "restricts" them from doing so. not as much creativity.

Re: dukamok hired by konami to make stepcharts

gazeebo's basically the only one who doesn't like duk's steps lol

Re: dukamok hired by konami to make stepcharts

maybe of those that have posted, but i know for a fact that there are a lot of other SM players (good ones, unlike me) out there who don't like his steps. i know this is true for just about every person who has stepped a song, some like and some don't, but i would be willing to bet that more then 50% of actual SM players dislike a great majority of duk's steps.

that may sound garbled. what i'm saying is i understand that there will be people who don't like certain files/step artists, but i'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who don't like duk's files.

Well, I (and I bet a few others probably) would like to see an example of what you think is a good chart. If you can give a video link or anything that would be great (no simfile links because i'm too lazy to install it :/).

Also, as you said "good players". "Good players" these days are the ones that AAA crap like MSWGO Oni on a regular basis, and usually tend to play only stupid hard charts like that on a spread setup (not even arrow keys anymore...ironic eh).

Re: dukamok hired by konami to make stepcharts

uh first good charts i think of are The Prototype, FotS of course, W@rez a rare sharpnel song i can stand to play, Emerald Sword (skor) is alright, i could list more if you want.
