Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

UC 2nd half pls <3

That's pretty vague and a big area to put as an isolation. Is it a few certain bursts?

I'll see if I can get to these tonight.

Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

Thanks a lot Dossar

Edit: Audio not working for those files?

Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

However, as a word of warning, my isolations do not have music in them. If anything, they should be used to examine certain patterns within the said section of the song, and to hear your keytaps to get a feel of how the part should be hit.

Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

if you have time can you make one for ice valley from like 285 combo to 410 combo?

Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

Added:

- ice valley "beyond the searoad" 285-410
- [Tips] Slam the Door (Rogue Remix) One Hand Jacks <--- Not requested but I saw the jack transitions could possibly be a trouble point.

I also updated the OP with these

Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

UHHH This seems incredibly unfair, idk. I don't think these should exist on a engine. If someone wants to recreate with stepmania thats fine, but this is way too generous for a tournament.
I didnt even like the transition to raw scoring as seeming too generous and making D1/D2/D3 final rounds stupid rather than hilarious mashfests.

It's not unfair at all because it's publicly posted and everyone has access to it.

As far as the transition to raw scoring, it's necessary, and far more intelligent to use as a scoring system. D1/D2/D3 didn't have any mashfests in the previous tournaments -- in fact, in the 6th official, all scores were SDGs in D1/D2 area. D3 had a low-teens score as the winner in the 6th official, too. In the 7th official, D1 had a ~1g discrepancy between first and second place scores (both in teens), D2 had near AAAs, and D3 had low SDGs as well.

Like what AJ said, the isolations are fine. It's totally fair since everyone has access to the isolation engine. Also, I would much rather see D1-D3 players try their best to PA something way out of their skill level than do mindless mashing.
Not to mention none of the top 3 players in the 6th and 7th official had that messy scores in D1-D3's final round to begin with.

Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

If we're talking about fairness then it may be technically unfair to anyone who uses R^2 or R^3 and may also bind players to legacy if they want to keep making use of it

It might actually be bad to have this

Re: 8th Official Tournament Isolations Thread

I wouldn't take it that far, also totally irrelevant but R^3 should get a feature that lets you specify and play an isolated segment of a chart as a sort of practice mode >.>

I see nothing wrong with this, just another way to practice and improve your ability to PA a given song. It's a time saver at the worst.
