i showed that pic as an example of layering.


breaking the rules was never an issue, i'm talking about consistency. as i said in the video, i reviewed it to my liking and how i would do things. having said that, his file still has no structure of any kind and 90% of the notes just seem thrown in there with no purpose whatsoever. there is such a thing as a quality fun file, and there are definite guidelines to do so.

but thats.........one instrument...........................................the yellow notes were just random bs flourishes where its accented...or something : D

and hey its all good i might even get some of his charts just for giggles and i may reach the same conclusions. sorry for giving you a hard time jus tryna set a good example for the kids (the kids!).

ps. lmao did you just take that picture now

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

sometimes bs 16ths can be a valid way to accent a file

the only real way to make a bad file is to step randomly; that is, the steps and patterns you use not matching up to the similarities and differences of the file in any consistent or progressive fashion

things like the using freezes/jumps for certain vocals at random and not others kinds of things, or putting emphasis on the beat when it ought to be on the offbeat; those are indicative of trying to do something and doing it wrong

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

well technicalty factors such as pr, layer, etc are commonly used because they are one of the most objectively understandable way of structuring. In an old standard even index friendly patterns were generally needed.

although files that just follow them would be generic so you need to your own interpretation of the song to be original.

ps. people play 2004 files because they are well known and it's a good way to show their skill by posting ss of those files, not because they are good compared to recent files.

Don't get it haven't all skilled stepartists who want to take their theory and stepping to the next level already gone ahead to solo, I mean at this point it's hard to say we haven't reached a saturation of the stuff already at least in 4 key.

In my view it's a little futile in current SM packs to try to only accept ART and supa amazing perfect files that little music can supply. We've come to the point where even the outstanding have become commonplace and excellent solid files are never seeing the light of day just because like the song doesn't lend itself to being stepped beyond that arbitrary line of worshipped innovation or technique that seems to move higher pack by pack.

Is releasing files that are not incredible and groundbreaking but still excellent on their own merits and above all enjoyable a bad thing? Is this not da true meaning of the stepman existence ??? ! ?! ?!

Yeah, like stepping 16th note trills/jacks for screaming in metal simfiles (like in the bs file I'm about to release hehe)

Re: Kommisar's Frenchman Stepmania Review episode 2

Chart seem playable enough I suppose, considering the patterns themselves don't seem to have anything deliberately or accidentally ultra-mega-mondo awkward to try and hit, and the difficulty seem relatively consistent for the most part from what I can tell. But yeah, them arrows pay so horrendously little attention to the music itself it's almost kinda funny. I always kinda thought the core idea of dance games was for the player to enjoy a game alongside the music, not forcing them to play against it or ignore it entirely.

im still finding new stepping styles and improving my overall technique for singles .

How inspriring to see the that some of the already successful and best in the business still maintain such a high level of work ethic towards ~stepman development~.
