"Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread

Also looked at Ema Skye's file. I mostly agree with trumaestro, but many later patterns he flagged I see as just fine.

Steps after that freeze until the next one undo the turn, but that's no excuse.
First up arrow of m44 creates a candle because of the freeze. You might want to change it.
Left arrow on fourth beat of m45 is a bad choice. Maybe change to a right as it forces the player either to double step or half-turn or something.
m46 - first up makes a candle, first left makes a crossover. You might want to change it.
m49 has a crossover. You might want to change it.
m50 - right freeze makes a crossover. You might want to change it.
Up arrow at m50 also kind of makes a crossover. You might want to change it.

m39 should be okay with the jumps, as long as the player can nail the first one. It's only a little difficult. You can alter or leave that as it is.
m40 is a huge problem (agree with tru). Definitely half-turn, which wouldn't be so bad if there weren't also hands directly before it.
If you leave the half-turn in, remove the hands right before it, and the pattern returns the player's direction, so that's fine.
I see no difficulty in m44. Candles aren't hard at all, but if it's not the pattern you actually want there, then you should change it.
m45-46 is fine. I see a crossover followed by a half turn, with a recovery jump. Perhaps alter the orientation of the jump to make it easier for the player (UR and UD could work, but you'd also have to change the pattern afterwards), or just change it to a single note.
m49-50 is tricky. The first crossover is fine, but the second (ending in the freeze) looks like an awkward half turn, especially with the notes after that. I recommend a change.

Also, I find m17-20 very awkward. And I don't like "hand-gallops" in general, but they're not too bad.

All in all, it's okay. I don't like how almost all the steps go to just lyrics. Perhaps find some other part of the song to step? And remember when you think you're done, always double-check your patterns to make sure that: a) they'll work on pad, and b) they're what you want for representing that part of the music. Be careful about pad errors, and read Xiao's guide (link in trumaestro's post).

PS: tru, try using WinRAR to unpack -Barista-'s files. It worked for me. I would judge, but they're keyboard and I'm tired and I think the little buzzing noise in Valse de Chaton made my left ear bleed. It feels really weird right now, anyways.
