Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

this doesnt really apply here because they are kinda forced to have to play the file or else they wont get the points needed to rank

I meant don't play as in leave the tourney. Nobody is forcing them to play. If the files are that terrible, then I guess they shouldn't play. Maybe go make their own tourney if we do such a poor job at it.

If you guys don't like the files, don't play, it's that simple.

Stop being so personally offended. I'll criticize whatever I want thank you. If you can't take it without getting so upset then that is your problem.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

La Camp is fun.

The only things I dislike about Carlos' chart is that the trill isnb't one handed (easier to bs <3) and the odd jack section. (Not to say I don't understand it though. I love that chart <3)

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

Okay, I have been wanting to say something about this for a long time coming now. Not just in this tourney but in ANY tournament I've ever seen or any release of a song I've ever seen.

People are going to complain. It gets us complainers a bit of justification for whatever reason we have. If Izzy, myself, or anyone have a problem about a file we will express it. Yes doing so in a tournament thread might be just a bit off of the kindness area, but I personally didn't think Izzy's post was rude at all, a bit snippy but not rude, and honestly, a good question.

Look at Niala's new file released this week and look at everyone bitching and complaining that the chart doesn't go right with the song. Oh well, it was his stepping and hey, it made it past the judges. Guess what, there are only 2 judges that I know of accepting these files into this tournament. Kayla and AJ to my knowledge. I can reasonably think that if people are here to criticize in a tournament where new songs are listed they have the right too...

OR, you know what you should do? Create 2 threads. The tournament thread, and the step chart thread where people can criticize the charts and give opinions and what not and it can be situated much MUCH easier there. Personally, I think that would be a better idea. Just like the Official last year, they have a separate thread for placement complaints and what not.

Personally, it's going to happen no matter where you go, people have the right to criticize at a minimum. Not excessive, which I didn't see Izzy do here. A simple response to his question I feel would have been right and AJ did that, so that's over with.

<--- Not being rude ... trust me, I'm not. I'm just speaking my mind about this cause, well, it happens everywhere and people are never going to listen lol You can DQ them all you want and never allow them to enter your tournaments again, but they'll do it somewhere else... It doesn't matter lol

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

I'd like to add that Kayla could've easily been a massive bitch when stepping {Stay With Me} but probably opted not to, so D3 should probably be extremely grateful

There could've been sooooooooooooooooooo many more minijacks lmfao

Kayla (and AJ) is the host of this tournament. All she wants is a good atmosphere for the tourney and I'm sure you can respect that.

Similarly, if you were a guest at someone's house and the host served you food that you didn't like, you can mention that in a less crass way. (or if you're even more modest, keep that thought to yourself - it doesn't mean that you can't hold that opinion however)

I will kindly ask you to leave our thread now.

There's nothing wrong with stating why you dislike a file, as said before when people were ragging on i love you for a perfectly acceptable file that had a difficulty spike. hi19hi19 explained it best; if you dislike it, say WHY you dislike it, not say that it's poorly done and then say that it's being done intentionally. What you're saying isn't constructive, and it's most certainly not criticism either.

EDIT:

Exactly this. I have a personal opinion on all of the files and I have no problem explaining them just so as long I know it's clear that the person knows it's my opinion, and that it's not intended to be disrespectful.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

The one's complaining are the ones who didn't bother to step anything for this tournament. Go figure.

brb playing SHION and TRUE LOVE

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

It might just be me, but it feels like the sync for {Stay With Me} goes off when the trips come in. The beginning feels fine, but every time the trips come in, it feels like it's almost a 16th early again, not sure if it's just me but I figured I'd point it out and see if anyone else heard/saw the same thing.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

God, this file is so ****ing amazing, LOVED it. :3




Typical Rebound being ~ExPrEsSiVe~, 'twas fun




will try to improve these

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

At 1st I was like trips? I have no hands in this song lol. But then AJ pointed out what it would be. He's checking now.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

The rhythm is intentionally syncopated right before the run.

Re: Dragons Fury: Custom Tournament #6

As always, posting sightreads of every division's files along with comments. Too much fun seeing the new charts for me not to do this ^_^

This chart is definitely missing notes. A shame, I really like the song and the steps and I'd love to see what it's like with all the arrows actually there. The two note gallops can just be jumped but the three and four note rolls are pretty tricky to PA. Definite step up in difficulty for D1!
7/10 for missing notes, but guessing it'd be a 10/10 if they were all there.



Real fun file. Another big step up in difficulty for D1, I dropped a boo and a good on the gallops. As a side note I really hope a harder version of this song is in the works for a later round, it's a great song with lots of energy and there are plenty more sounds in there to step.
9/10 file. Very fun for an easier file, cool rhythms.



Not really a fan of the song, but despite that the file was a lot of fun. I like the way bmah uses jumps. There's some tricky 1-handed patterns in here, especially on the right. D2 players might want to consider mirror if they're having trouble. The good was a dumb rhythm error by me.
9/10 file, did the most you could with the song for sure. Not a particularly amazing song choice though, I feel that's what was holding it back.



The 24ths into a (14) jump caught me by surprise, and I dropped a few goods randomly in the regular jumps too. I saw a section with slightly difficult 1-handed patterns. Overall fairly fun, also quite short which is nice!
8/10 file again. Pretty fun, but also somewhat disappointingly generic. Certainly nothing wrong with it though.



First thought: wow, AJ did a badass job cutting this song. Props on the audio work! Anyway, all my goods were from the jacks or 48th grace notes. Mercifully all the jacks except two are on the up arrow so you can mirror it if one hand is better at jacking than the other.
7/10 file, you can tell I stepped this a long time ago. Missed a bunch of interesting sounds, also inconsistent in the repeats and a tad long. Still a lot of fun though, in my opinion. (Once again my file is among the worst of the round >_>)



Actually had an BF on this just from a polyrhythm at the start, until the 8th anchors and dumped hard on that part. The (13) and (24) alternating jumps with the 1-handed trills were difficult, can't believe I AAA'd that part. 8th anchor part at the end is predictably my least favorite part, but I enjoyed most of the rest. Good flow in the 16th stream. By any chance was this adapted from a pad chart? It feels sort of like it.
10/10 file, my hate for that type of anchor thing shouldn't take away from the fact this is really fun and has great rhythmic variety and patterns.



This is a totally enjoyable D3 file for about 70% of it, low D4 for about 20% near the end, and then an utter shitfest for that brief 10% in the middle. Did not find this fun at all solely because of the jack section. The patterns around those jacks were very difficult in what was already the hardest part of the file, add in the fact that they were 2-handed jumpjacks and it's just bad.
6/10 file. I admit possibly I'm just not good enough at the game to properly appreciate the middle part, but regardless it's completely off in difficulty from the rest of the file. The fact that the other 90% flows well and is lots of fun somewhat redeems it.



CHILI BOWL CHILI BOWL CHILI BOWL CHILI BOWL~
10/10 file, awesome patterns in the jumpstream, cute color theory crap, possibly somewhat generic but really nothing to hate.



8th jack anchor section was the most difficult for me, in no small part because of the hilarious dialogue. Most of my boos were from there. Some tricky 16th note rhythms, and the 2 (13) 4 repeating pattern section was definitely also hard. The 1-handed trill at the start seemed a bit excessive but not a huge issue. Surprised I FC'd this song.
9/10 file. I can't find anything specific to dock a point for but it just wasn't completely blow my mind amazing, merely well made and lots of fun.



No issue with the 32nd burst at the start or the 1-handed trills (they're really slow... >_>), the hard part for me was definitely some sneaky hidden long down arrow jacks- one in a color note section and one in the 12th jumps at the end. It's no secret La Campanella is one of my favorite classical songs, and I really like this remix of it too. Very cool file, lots of awesome rhythms and interesting patterns. In my humble opinion the best of this batch by a long shot, props again
10/10 had fun, would play again.


Played it 2 more times for the FC. Real fun file. AJ master of finding polyrhythm songs to step.
