Roll Fixes

Ethereal Rising started back in January with the hope to collect fun pad files for all to enjoy. Unfortunately, it failed to due strict judges and a lack of interest. Through the course of the dead time to the rebirth of this project, the judges and I were finally ready to revive the project in mid June. To our surprise, the pack was accepted with open arms, and received about 100 submissions is 2 months. Out of those 100 submissions, 22 files were accepted, and deemed enjoyable enough to play. The project success this time around is thanks to our judges for choosing the best of the best, our graphics team for making it look professional, the skilled step-artists for creating the content, and of course the community for giving us the opportunity to present the idea.

Song List

Anisakis (Kommisar) - Expert 13

GFX by Professor Raine
A fun 13 stepped by Kommisar. Kommisar, being his usual self, inserts gimmicks into the file to give it a bit of a twist.

CrushCrushCrush (DDRDAIKENKAI) - Expert 9

GFX by DDRDAIKENKAI
An easy 9 with simple steps, making a good warm up chart. Watch out for some minor pauses.

Data Drain (Oni-Paranoia) - Expert 14

GFX by Alex Ritter
An extremely difficult file, not only reaching a climax of 680 BPM 8th note bursts, but tops out as the most difficult file in the pack, being the only chart given the 14 ranking. Have fun reading this on 1x.

Fujiyama Panic (Halogen) - Expert 11

GFX by Leoj
Originally created to be a stamina file, the idea was scrapped and redone as seen fit. Halogen toned it down and it became a fun 11 with some stop gimmicks.

Girls and Boys and Toys (~Zero~) - Expert 11

GFX by Alex Ritter
A file that took me 7 hours to make mostly because of the massive amounts of gimmicks used. A fun file with plenty of crosses.

I'm Your GummiBear (R4VR) - Expert 11

GFX by Waffl3
A fruity song with fun steps. The song is a long version, being slightly over 3 minutes, so there's plenty to enjoy.

Inscrutable Battle (Halogen) - Expert 11

GFX by DDRDAIKENKAI
A personal favorite of mine. This is one of the only files that incorporates hands correctly. The file starts off easy, but builds to a difficult, cross-happy ending.

Jelly Kiss (~Zero~) - Expert 10

GFX by Leoj
Another fruity song with more of a layered style of stepping. Matches with a lot of the beats present and the use of holds to accent certain sounds.

Jem (DDRDAIKENKAI) - Expert 9

GFX by DDRDAIKENKAI
The shortest song in the whole pack, barely clearing 1 minute! (1:14). Another fun warm up chart brought to you by DDRDAIKENKAI. Includes a fully stepped Singles set, a great quickie when you start playing.

Midnight Shooter (Xiaounlimited) - Expert 13

GFX by Xiaounlimited
The longest song in the whole pack, and also the only song to reach Marathon length. Reaching almost 6 minutes, there's a whole bunch to love in this song.

Misery Business (DDRDAIKENKAI) - Expert 10

GFX by DDRDAIKENKAI
More Paramore brought to you by DDRDAIKENKAI. This file was submitted to the original installment of this pack and was rejected. The pack was brought back to life, and this chart was resubmitted; Daikenkai fixed up this file and made it a fun 10. Includes a fully stepped Singles set.

Move Ur Body (~Zero~) - Expert 10

GFX by Alex Ritter
A very cool song that I found one day, and it uses a somewhat innovative gimmick, with there being not a single freeze, but a high count of rolls where freezes SHOULD be. Steps are simple, and there's a couple of pauses. Good warm-up.

Nebula (Xiaounlimited) - Expert 12

GFX by Xiaounlimited
Nebula is said to be one of the best files in the pack, right up there with Never Say. It's a long version just shy of 3 minutes. This file uses jacks in an intelligent way and makes the file really enjoyable. Try the edit for more jack fun.

Never Say (~Zero~) - Expert 11

GFX by Alex Ritter
Never Say is considered to be one of the best files in the pack, right up there with Nebula. It's a hard 11 with almost no breaks. The file uses half turn and freezes to accent certain parts of the song. Also includes plenty of crosses, a great stamina chart.

Open Your Mind (MacGravel) - Expert 12

GFX by MacGravel
Nicely stepped chart by Macgravel. Nicely formed chart with a soothing slowdown, a chart worth playing time and time again.

Para Para Sakura (DDRDAIKENKAI) - Expert 10

GFX by DDRDAIKENKAI
A borderline 9-10. Typical of DDRDAIKENKAI, this file is another simple chart with enjoyable steps. Another great warm-up. Includes a fully stepped Singles set.

Poseidon (DDRDAIKENKAI) - Expert 10

GFX by DDRDAIKENKAI & Alex Ritter
The only DDR re-edit in the whole pack and the only song in the pack that has a background change. You know how DDRDAIKENKAI, nice and easy; a fun warmup chart. Be aware of the nicely designed background change, it will catch your eye. Includes a fully stepped Singles set.

Second Heaven (~Zero~) - Expert 11

GFX by Leoj
A v2 of my original Second Heaven file. The file is very straight forward with a challenging ending.

Taboo Tears You Up (ddr_f4n) - Expert 13

GFX by Alex Ritter
A very jumpy 13. The steps are a little bit more stamina consuming then others in this pack, but still fun nevertheless. Includes a fully stepped Singles set.

Tetris (Oni-Paranoia) - Expert 11

GFX by Professor Raine
A borderline 10-11. The steps are simple. This chart use gimmicks along with rolls to accent some lyrics in the song. Watch out for the ending MINES.

The Decisive Battle (Xiaounlimited) - Expert 12

GFX by Xiaounlimited
A another personal favorite of mine. Another long version brought to you by Xiao around 3:40. The file length does not make this file any less enjoyable.

Usatei (Kommisar) - Expert 13

GFX by Alex Ritter
Another 13 brought to you by Kommisar. Similar to his Anisakis file, this file includes gimmicks but at a higher extent. The file is very fun, but the song is a bit cheesy.
