Default Re: StepCon 2024

Alrighty, here's my thoughts on the submissions. Keep in mind I have little experience as a charter, but it was fun playing through everyone's files ^^

1: somewhat spicy, maybe too spicy on those 16th jacks near the very end
cool dumped 12ths in the middle
it seems okay overall


2: feel like this one's going a little too overboard at times? considering most of it is straightforward jumpstream
i'm also not a fan of the 32nd trills being the first indicator of the difficulty of the file, it's a bit jarring
also, i've only noticed now how the song does those bursts represented by the 48ths in this file, i would bet that'd be the most annoying part of the song to work around while charting and i guess this file represents that struggle well


3: this is a lot to take in, but i loved the color theory present right off the bat
only thing i would really poke at is the ending 24ths' patterning where it changes while the song does not


4: by far the one with the most interesting patterns in isolation (those 3 note 16ths... epic...)



1: straightforward, nice, very chill, although *maybe* a little underwhelming in the first half of the last chorus at around 1000 notes? i get the progression that goes on to the second half but it really felt like the chart suddenly toned down a notch just to accommodate for that and it's a bit weird


2: this is what i conceive to be a difficulty spike
^what the hell was i smoking? did i mean the last 12th jacks? or the 16th ones before before the chorus? this is fine


3: definitively the most abstract rhythmic choices went into this one it seems


4: also feeling like the chorus is underrepresented compared to some bits in the middle but it could just be me


5: it is kind of funny to step the background birds chirping lel
somewhat feel like there were some sections that were just, purely there for filler purposes and it didn't sit well w me


6: pretty cool! definitively the one with the most appealing pattern/rhythm choices and is probably my favorite


7: seeing as this is the only dump in the pool for this song it brought another vision into the mix




this one needed a cut, desperately
1: this is.. as freestyle as one can get before people get scared
(no scorepost, i forgot)

2: woa why my notes blu
generally had a good time, strong structure


3: its simplicity ends up hurting potential for more sounds being represented, which is a weird choice considering the usage of 32nds to a veeeery faint sound in the song


4: VERY nice, all i can say



1: no objections. like, i have nothing to say as this is just good


2: also good, it feels like the style is more loose with the patterning
(no scorepost, i forgot)

3: also good!! and this one feels more rigid than the others
(no scorepost, i forgot)



1: The Egg-Jack Pattern
i honestly think this is a mess at first glance density-wise according to the intensity of the song never trust the first scores of your session, folks
looking in preview it's pretty fine


2: absolutely too much for me, this is really up there in the high-level dump chart department which i don't comprehend a whole lot
liked the colors in the intro, at least
seeing it in preview There Are A Lot Of Dumped Wubs and alongside the rest of the chart makes for very odd, almost monotonous density


3: THE TRUE egg pattern
very well paced, good ideas, nice execution of them.. wait did the yoshi hatching sound get stepped!? this is my favorite so far
(no scorepost, i forgot)

4: it played relatively okay, the first minijacks were a good indicator of the difficulty of the rest of the chart
as an avid Flam Hater i do dislike the 32nd flams at around 1030 notes -- not (just) because i suck at them but because their variation doesn't reflect any other type of variation in the song itself
(no scorepost, i forgot)

5: wonderfully structured, but i feel like that's the biggest and almost only thing that the chart achieved


6: The MINI-Egg Pattern
pretty good, pretty good, don't think i have a lot to say as the patterning wasn't anything jawdropping but it is fine
(no scorepost, i forgot)

7: i think i like this. it's fairly rigid in ways that compliment the song

Not posting stuff for GET OVER IT! (yet? maybe at the end of the voting period)
