I just love how smug this post is, the tl;dr version is basically "oh my chart is technically inaccurate because I intended it to be that way, plebeians like you can't understand my stepping"

ok dude

Heaven forbid other stepartists intend for their charts to be a certain way though (dore & his wall of text for bloodmeat lmfao).

Re: Songs of the Week (July 26, 2013)

Here's how My Fxxking Desire For You is through my eyes.

The chart is not my finest work. The chart is actually rather old, and my stepping style has evolved immensely from this chart. It is arguably oversimplified, which was intended. I've charted this song five different times, and each time the results changed. I over simplified this chart to make it so obvious to anyone judging it, that it would be difficult to dock points for misrhythms, a major issue I had at the time. It was a safety net for myself.

I however, fully intended the ending to be a brutal spike of difficulty. The ending of the song is the most intense and fast paced section, and the chart emulates this brutally well. If I recall correctly, this is Climax Theory to a degree? I'm pretty sure it doesn't "fit" it that well, but that was sort of the aim.

I like how it plays still however. My intentions where to chart the drums, which stood out to me the most. Does it lack a bit of emotion? Sure. I Intended this to a point.

Also, the jump gluts play the same forwards and backwards. That's to discourage mirroring it. The 23 14 trill is a poor choice on my end.

I'll admit that the chart is by no means perfect, and it's fine if you hate it, and bash me. It's only fair. However, do not bash the song artist please. I like his music, and even if you're not fond of some of it, I do think I, or someone else, will step one you may like. You should try looking up other works of his.

I don't think you should be justifying how you intended for your chart to be when you've irrationally bashed charts.

Hey, he has a right to explain why the file is the way it is. He's not being smug. People explain how their charts work, and he shouldn't be told he's not aloud to speak just because you don't like him. I failed to see the problem with his last post.

People have justified their intentions of a chart, and Middie just keeps voicing how bad their chart is, and does so unreasonably.

Re: Songs of the Week (July 26, 2013)

I don't think there is a real problem with his explanation but it's just annoying to some that he's justifying why he did certain things that people don't like in his file, when if there is ever anything he doesn't like in another persons file, he ardently flames them.

pretty much what AlexDest said

You know I had a huge thing typed up here but in the end it's not worth explaining in detail when I can just say that the issue is the lack of respect.
When someone reviews your work as YoshL's did (even if it is kinda hostile) at least be polite enough to acknowledge their suggestions.

Also yeah what Alex said, the irony is kind of funny considering that people bashing Middie in this thread combined are still 100x more polite than he has ever been. I won't deny that some people are certainly getting a release out of seeing him have to defend himself for a change

Re: Songs of the Week (July 26, 2013)

True, he does has a reputation for voicing a harsh blunt opinion, but never once did he bash on any of the 3 other files released along with his, nor has he done that in a while, and yeah, hasn't argued with anyone else's harsh opinions after all that has been said about his chart.

Is it going to be like this for every chart Middie/Xel brings out per chance?

Re: Songs of the Week (July 26, 2013)

There've already been many posts about Midnight in this thread, but he mentions that the file is of an "older stepping style" and that he intentionally had certain errors? He says that like he wants to have people enjoy his "newer style", yet he's submitting files with the "older style" and doing nonsensical things (like changing the ending to 24ths when the beats clearly landed on 4ths rather than 12ths) and when it got pointed out he bashed those people.

The worst part is that he's posting on his alternate account XelNya with a more smug attitude and trying to cover up how he posted on Midnight. It doesn't take a new account to apologize and/or admit you did something you shouldn't have done.

The 23 14 trill is a poor choice on my end.

this is the only part i hate.. have to make myself kinda forget about this part and have it surprise me if i wanna be able to hit it. the rest of the chart is alright, the ending is kinda fun and the song is a lot more tolerable than some of the other ones we have on here like that little god channel crap so i give it a 6/10 would play again to aaa then forget about it

I cave. I'll address some things, even though I know it is more than likely a wasted effort.

I just love how smug this post is, the tl;dr version is basically "oh my chart is technically inaccurate because I intended it to be that way, plebeians like you can't understand my stepping"

ok dude

I never said anything smug, I simply explained my chart through my own eyes. Something you have a random thought for on your profile. If you see any post I've made since it was released as smug, you're gathering the wrong tone.

People have justified their intentions of a chart, and Middie just keeps voicing how bad their chart is, and does so unreasonably.

I actually quit bashing charts over a month ago.

he's justifying why he did certain things that people don't like in his file, when if there is ever anything he doesn't like in another persons file, he ardently flames them.

Again, I didn't justify anything. I explained it. They're not always the same thing.

You know I had a huge thing typed up here but in the end it's not worth explaining in detail when I can just say that the issue is the lack of respect.

I've typed a response to every post in the thread regarding me or my file. Only one of them has been posted.

Also, you're being a bit hypocritical here. I've addressed charts with screen shots giving explanations as to why I think they're not that great, and everyone's response even in the TB chat was pretty much "mad cause bad" or something along that line.

As to the respect, I do read everything about my charts. Even if I don't address it it has been read. When it comes to judged batches, I take all the notes and compile them into a notepad document and sort it by file, and then I go through the file and make the changes I think fit, and don't use the ones I disagree with.

As to the whole "but you fixed the 12th section despite not agreeing with it" I'll simply say I didn't want to hear complaints about it.

True, he does has a reputation for voicing a harsh blunt opinion, but never once did he bash on any of the 3 other files released along with his, nor has he done that in a while, and yeah, hasn't argued with anyone else's harsh opinions after all that has been said about his chart.

I think I actually did do that once to be honest. But no, I haven't argued with anyone. Their opinion is theirs, they can have it all they like. I'll take what I can from it, and move on, same as I always have.

It's not the best thing people remember you for.

Best post.

I agree. Also, your recent chart "My So Called Life" was actually pretty fun. I play it pretty often in comparison to other charts in that range.

There've already been many posts about Midnight in this thread, but he mentions that the file is of an "older stepping style" and that he intentionally had certain errors? He says that like he wants to have people enjoy his "newer style", yet he's submitting files with the "older style" and doing nonsensical things (like changing the ending to 24ths when the beats clearly landed on 4ths rather than 12ths) and when it got pointed out he bashed those people.

You are 100% misreading what I said. I said absolutely nothing about leaving in errors as if you look at it, the only errors in the chart as it is, simply are where I added the guitar on the [124] hands. There aren't any other "technical" errors, only subjective ones. The chart is simplified to negative errors I was making at the time. The only other true error was fixed before adding it to the game, which you never even addressed in your notes at all. The fix was made at OWA's request, which I handled like any other suggestion I am given.

Also, I'm pretty sure that it makes more sense to rotate which charts I submit so I can take the time to modify it properly. And yes, I did bash them, that was wrong. However, it was still a section that can be argued for.

Here's the idea in a nut shell for you:

When we write out sheet music, we use a time signature, a tempo, or BPM, to represent how it is written, in that instance. However, what we could do is alter the tempo, and change the time signature in some cases, and accomplish this same result in a different way. Obviously the notation of quarters and ect would change accordingly. In short terms if you write a section in 6 / 8, you can in theory convert it to read in 4 / 4 time. In theory, all of MFDFY could be charted at 240bpm, however if you paid any sort of attention when you judged it, you'd know it changes in order of: 240 - 60 - 120 - 240 (as it is in game, this was not the exact case when you judged it.) Those are a very friendly set of changes that emulate the above idea. In this case, I changed the BPMs to the intensity of the music.

The worst part is that he's posting on his alternate account XelNya with a more smug attitude and trying to cover up how he posted on Midnight. It doesn't take a new account to apologize and/or admit you did something you shouldn't have done.

Also, this is not a smug way of posting, a smug post would be one where I mock you. I'm talking to you more politely than I ever did previously. I fail to see how doing that came off as smug.

Also, this is going to come off as smug, egocentric, whatever you'll see it as, but this is merely me being honest, and explaining why you're likely to not see me apologize.

I have no intentions of apologizing for any of it at the moment. I meant it when I said it, and even if I disagree with it now, or realize it was wrong to say it, I was at least honest enough to not lie to your face about it. To me that is more kind than talking trash about you behind your back. Because of this, the apology would also be insulting, because I don't actually feel bad about it. I won't cover it up with:

"Hello, I'm writing this, as a sort of apology for what I have said in the past, it was wrong of me to say so, and as of lately, I have discovered my previous actions to have been wrong, and to have more than likely hurt you in some deviation. I sincerely apologize, and hope that in the near future that things can be cleaned up between us. - Midnight"

It sounds as fake as it would be. If there came a day where I felt bad about it, I'd send you an apology. It is rare, but this has happened a few times.

The short hand is, if you expect me to apologize, you're very likely not going to see it, at least, not for a long time.
