Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

[ScylaX]

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

Endless Despair wasn't made by SSH hahaha
I stepped the whole song because it displayed a great variety to make diverse steps and it had the potential to make an actually good "long version" file. The difficulty may make it tiresome, but I wanted to exhibit each parts because each had the potential to make for a fun simfile.
And actually, I cut the whole loop a little earlier than what it really is because the string parts would have been boring as hell to play lol especially considering it was also more than 3'30" minutes in

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

oh i never posted any file comments, wanted to post just one that really stood out to me

Seems like most other reviews were going through the pack in order and didn't get to this gem:
X-Treme Grade is amazing, absolutely sick file.

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

I actually bothered to make reviews for the half of the pack. They aren't very interesting/technical, i just focused on how fun the files were to me

Alicemagic - fine as it is 7/10
Altale - Mines, jacks and grace thingys realy got me at some parts, some spikes but the chart/song is pretty unique 8/10
Atropos - simplistic/easier approach compared to smoc8, is fine 8/10
Bleeding in the brain - blotted science files are always fun to me, i like how the solo flows 9/10
Bodom Beach Terror - trills got me at the solo 7/10
Cedar Shed - feels like i'm playing kbc (was the idea?) 5/10
Dstorv - Similar to Altale, but i think i enjoyed Altale more 8/10
Electricity - the last part is specially tough for me 8/10
Endless Despair II - longer and harder than i thought, there's nothing wrong with the file but i didn't enjoyed that much. 6/10
Falling Love - If the file had a little bit more of layering/details, it would be perfect to me, also, cashmere cat <3 8/10
Funny Shuffle - funny 8/10
hakugin no datenshi - hmm idk 7/10
Hanairo Biyori - there's a missing arrow at the JS parts (AHEM SMOC8), otherwise is perfect to me 9/10
Hideout - hm short, i cant say anything interesting here 6/10

so much hate on yume files and those were the best of the pack xd

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

what the fuck, Amatias, the file that was thoroughly checked/judged, wasn't included but Hakugin no Datenshi, which isn't complete, was added?

Gr8, now I gotta V2 this shit already.

Putting that aside, I can understand why this release has occurred. The pack wasn't going anywhere. Pushing an incomplete set is better than nothing, so, oh well. Since Amatias wasn't included, I can push it elsewhere, but looks like I'll need to actually complete Hakugin no Datenshi.

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

god what a fucking mess this pack turned out to be lmao. like i'm glad it finally came out but i guess we all get what we deserved for trusting a rebarf project to not be poorly managed. I'll run through what's here today

ps the swifty is the only halfway decent thing i've made in like a year and a half

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

So this finally happened? I was wondering about this a couple months ago.

I guess I'll host it on smo and put up a link here when I get off work.

Edit: Looks like someone already did it.

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

i wrote a bunch of reviews but lost them so here's some short shit

files i enjoyed:
Fallin Love
Ham Jam Motherfucker
Scylaxx's two files that aren't Insane Techniques (no offense to that one just I'm sick of the fucking song)
Pat Du's Magic
Marill
shoutouts aaron for My Time
yeah mike ok fine i'll give you credit for making the v rare good vsnares file just don't step him anymore pls
ra'am was fun
blurk file hella
seventeen rips
Divine Comedy Reverse also rules if only because sweet christ someone stepped World's End Girlfriend (you got a bit off sync at times but it's forgivable)
Twirl was one of my favorites here

other than that most of this was passable at best. i'm kinda surprised lmfao. i ain't gonna point any fingers or name any names but there were a huge chunk of files in here that wouldn't have even been good enough for the seasonal FFR Community packs. There was one in particular I'd go so far as to say was so bad I don't even think they'd put it in an HSMP. Some of y'all gotta work on drum layering and jump placement like real, reallll bad

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

FOLLOWING MY REVIEW

spinal fluid explosion girl (wayward vagabond) first of all stepping the vocaloid version would have been a plus because the way the software was originally used gave out very interesting sonorities to tap but whatever
the file in my opinion was : very very savorless, it felt like you wanted to rush it by stepping it in less than an hour and I played the result.
You basically just put notes on anything that was part of the lyrics and pulled out a jump/an additional note for every beat that came in = and this sums up approximatively 90% of what you did. It felt like it was some generic file from the keyboard collaboration era and your style was so damn rigid I couldn't get much feedback from hitting your notes.
There was a lot of room for embellishment and there were a lot of nuances you could emphasize that would have made your file a lot richer but you didn't and that's a true enigma for me.

maybe that minimalism is the way you make files but I found that file really hard to enjoy because of how many things I noticed and you didn't fully exploit.

story 2 (rogdor) not really a fan of rap simfiles but your step at least felt perfectly relevant and that last simili-dodgeball part was quite amusing to play so good job but not really my type personnally

the divine comedy reverse (james may) THIS IS A VERY GOOD SIMFILE and you should step more world end's girlfriend because you know how to give to your sim a good contrast, that use of mines was really wise and despite some objections I have (like, these 32nd patterns?? were they really necessary) everything you put just felt right on time. This is a very concise approach and that's really pleasant to play

I'll probably play the remaining files later

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy [RELEASED]

spinal fluid explosion girl vocaloid version is present on SMOC8 and yolomania 3 by the way

i also thought that version was somewhat off

<3 The 32nds if you mean like the rolls then yes, originally the 32nd rolls were suppose to be 48ths but did it in 32nds for moderation, I am working on another WEG song though~ I ain't gonna say which song though~

Ham Jam indeed~ Also, might step another Chipfunk song if I'm not so damn lazy :U Also indeed, my nitpicking for sync may have gotten the ending a tad off sync x.x
