Top Ten Simfile Artists

1. Kilgamayan (<3)
2. Privateer (ugh.. you're a punk for leaving SM)
3. Skor (Emerald, Otaku, etc)
4. Reach (fun files)
5. Arch0wl (some fun files)
6. aperson (many of his earlier files have patterns that are too choppy)
7. Eggman (simple, quick put together files that are alright.. nothing special though)
8. Cynic (a few classic files... about it...)
...

Ehh don't really like anyone elses... Moogy made fun stepfiles, but weren't technically sound and were nothing special. I especially enjoyed them when I was a noob. :P

I don't like Linus's, Duk's, pfx's, or Toph's simfiles. Hayden and evilpeer made a few kind-of fun ones...

linus's holy moon is the FUNNEST song ever. its not to easy and it has a really really great song. and its perfectly synced. what more can u ask for?

btw can anyone recommend any simfiles that are like holy moon for me to play?

[xwidghet]

wich t1000? the one i have is kinda hard but not really.

[Rebirth0]

Then that's the wrong T-1000. The one everybody here has is the one with 64th notes at 196 bpm.

I don't know if it is 196 but I know it's in the 190s. I deleted T-1000 so I don't know.

I'm going to vote for some stepfile makers even though this will never be sorted out by the OP.
DukAmok (I love Scorpion Fire, but he has a bunch of other good ones - The Glass Prison is ridiculous)
dantheman (Fury of the Storm. FURY OF THE STORM. Also Furuhata's Theme, Tight Wad, The Famous Polka - lol)
DJ Ren (Act, bbblow, No. 13)
Symbiosis (a whole bunch of crazy songs)
aperson (Brace Yourself, Run the Place Red)
Eggman (Quasar is not just popular because arch0wl made a video of it, oh, OML, One or Eight, too)
Tank101 (mainly because of his hilarious S.O.S parody and recent Lovely^3)
Skor (Otaku, even Carezza, I have a strange affection for that)
pfx (We Gotz Game)

Most played stepfiles:
Quasar, Air, OML, Johnny Go (I don't know, seriously), Brace Yourself, Classic 8, Samurai Zero, Gravity, S-Esc, Blazing Beat

As for BEST simfile artist, probably Arch0wl as he spends the most time and puts a lot more thought into his simfiles than almost anybody else. That's usually what delivers the best simfile.. (If you don't know what I'm talking about pay attention to the patterns he uses, especially in pad simfiles).

lol. i dont think he can compete with foy on time spent.

Often I try not to just make another good edit, or another set of steps similar to what people have played over and over again but something orignal to the 4 panel dance games. This is what can take 30 hours.

honestly, i dont think ive ever spent 30 hours on a chart. and he doesnt mean he started and finished 30 hours apart, with interspersed work periods. thats 30 hours of solid work. honestly, no one can compete with that kind of dedication.

unfortunately, heres where i see a problem.

no matter how much time you put into thinking about what patterns will be fun, and where to put steps, you still end up only having 4 panels to work with. thats a limited number of patterns. even with crosses and spins and double steps. so how i see it, is i can spend 10 hours on a simfile, and someone else can spend 1 hour, and they both will probably turn out similarly. thats why i try to not spend as much time as i can, and just flow with it. oh and plus, pad charts are easy as hell to write. unless youre writing a 11+ footer, theres really nothing to it. so i dont see how anyone can be commended for "good pad charts", cause anyone can write one.

don't forget izzy (or is it izzi, or are those two different people? oh well)
his stepfiles have just random patterns
the only thing he takes from the song is the BPM

his stepfiles DO NOT turn out like anyone else's
he says he likes them though
