Re: 2nd Official FFR StepCon!
On my final, I lost points from some judges for overusing color theory (a valid complaint) and for making an understepped, easy file (also valid) and for some minor consistency issues (definitely valid)
But there's one review I swear isn't even about my file:
"cuts in the beginning are pretty messy. they need better transitions."
If you listen to the entire thing, you'll learn that my file is literally just a whole 3 minute block near the end of the song. There are no cuts at all in my file outside the start and end.
And thus every transition is exactly as it is in the original song. I lost points from other judges for my file being too long or starting/ending at a weird place (very valid) but it's pretty blatantly wrong to say my transitions are bad because there are none.
"better syncing can avoid some quantization errors (i.e. unnecessary 192nds on rolls)"
With three obvious exceptions, there are no 192nds on any of my rolls except for where I intentionally used color theory. The exceptions being the 5/4 roll (5/4 is properly quantized with 192nds using a white arrow) and of course the two rolls that change speed, rolls where the winning files also had white arrows because that's correct.
"the cuts are more than likely what is causing sync issues."
There are no sync issues because there are no cuts rofl the song is literally just 200bpm the whole way through and so is my file.
If something looks like a sync issue, it's because I used high BPMs and subbeats to make sure my color theory arrows were actually in the right place. This is a pretty important technique and if anything that should get me MORE points instead of less, as most people who use color theory just leave their white arrows a 192nd early/late and this frequently causes frame issues in FFR.
I swear this review was meant for someone else's file.
That or I'll just have to content myself knowing someone has finally snatched the record of "most objectively incorrect review of one of my files" from its long-time record holder.
Oh well.
EDIT- The review that is very obviously Dossar's is actually the review with the most helpful feedback. (Also a pretty crushingly low rating, but certainly well-justified) So, I appreciate that a lot.
Is it bad I can tell who a judge is just from the format they use for their notes...?Last edited by hi19hi19; 09-30-2014, 11:21 AM.

Re: 2nd Official FFR StepCon!
it only says that no one cared enough about reviewing to come up with some kind of standard
the fact that aj's review on my first round file was three times longer than the others combined is a much more blatant sign of thatLast edited by lurker; 09-30-2014, 11:05 AM.some feathery f**k

Re: 2nd Official FFR StepCon!
Here are three of the four notes I had Lmfao:
Children's War (F5) - 3/10
layering in intro is much too dense, same with sections such as @ 52s. additionally, it's not really anything close to straight jumpstream. same with the other sections that are jumpstream. file is incredibly dumpy with mountains of mistakes mostly in the jumpstreams.
Childrens War (F5)
[3/10]
- This file just looks like a gigantic copy and paste of hand stream
- A song like this wasn't meant to be stepped as a nuclear blast jumpstream/handstream file. It's just the same repetitive patterns over and over with nothing interesting to the song.
Children's War (F5) - 2
Not too sure about the triple at 9.922
Jump usage is odd at 24.655 and there are too many jumps at the second part of this section.
I'm not sure why you did jump/handstream for the vocals
The 8th note triple usage near the end makes no sense.
I dunno what to think of that seriously...
Judge 1: I don't get what you mean by "straight jumpstream". I purposely layered my file heavily because I think it's a very hyped song that absolutely fits such a high difficulty level (without being fucking buzzes everywhere rofl). And yes there are sounds to the 16ths which let me step those parts that way to keep the density higher than in the less intense parts of the song. Also "mountains of mistakes" well you're a judge damnit your job is to point out those mistakes so people can fix them...
Judge 2: I don't even know if I want to answer that. Every JS pattern I modified as much as I could (which was fairly enough) and please tell me why it wasnt Meant for JS.
Judge 3: I'm just concerned about that last comment, not sure what you meant by that (ending handstream?)
The other judge was also pretty subjective but gave detailed notes (thank you) with comparisons to help understanding the mistakes.
That's all I wanted to say :3Comment
