Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

Old Obscurity
- Same issues as the previous two files I played with lack of a real song, but this chart is very good and pretty accurate. It's hard to say a definite no on this. The short length helps it a bit. I'll see what the other judges have to say before really deciding.

"this chart is very good and pretty accurate"
"I might not accept it"

"Same issues as the previous two songs"

That issue was lack of replayability based on the song. Yours has a chance though because of the length.

Kirlian Shores
- I actually feel like the pink notes should be green, slightly before the 24th, like you do in m15
- Consider some more layering. Adding hands in some parts. The lack of extra layering makes the file not as interesting for me. Most of the weird offbeat notes are accurate based on what I can see.
- Maybe if some fixes are done.

The Divine Comedy Reverse
- 32nd jacks what is this
- This also has rolls in it, which I would prefer not to have in the pack as many people still play SM3.9
- The chart otherwise is alright. A common thing I'm finding in a lot of files is the need for more layering, which I see should be done in a lot of this file.

Pending other judges comments. This is probably your best submission so far, with Kirlian Shores being a close second.

Will beef up the diff a bit. I just don't want the file to become a wall of skittles ;_; Also, the 24ths and 64ths were dicksynced lmao. Anyhow, gonna fix that up a bit.

As for Divine Comedy, you're referring to the jumpjack or mini 32nd jacks that occurs in the less intense part? If its the jumpjack then I'll change it to a freeze with mines alongside it to moderate it. Was being technical there. Also, mind telling me where I could layer a bit more? (Maybe make a 2nd chart out of it?)

Anyhow, rip Minuit and Peppered Steaks. Minuit was actually the more artsy attempt and Pepper Steak because I found the song to be silly ;_;

More reviews


Funny Shuffle (updated) - Accepted

The Divine Comedy Reverse (James May) - Wtf is that 32nd jack in m26? There's like a pretty definitive percussion hit there and it seems like you chose to put 32nd [23] jacks instead of following that, which doesn't line up with the jacks you used later on (??). Aside from that I have no real issues with it. A couple of minor nitpicks like roll usage and note density I'll let slide here. Fix that jack. And what's with people picking weird dumb songs to chart? Pending

Shawty Wanna Fuck (McMuffin) - I can't take this seriously. I'm sorry. Nothing glaringly wrong but oh my god if the other judges want to put it in as a joke chart I'll let them decide if it's funny I abstain

I'm Your Daddy (Scylaax) - Nothing particularly wrong with it, though the mines in m65 are really tight, and even under miniholds, which I don't agree with. Couple of interesting layering choices but I'll let them slide. Preferably, fix that small mine issue. Accepted

Pepper Steak (James May) - There's nothing wrong with the chart but it's really bland and uninspired. Rejected

Minuit A Fond La Caisse (James May) - Overall it's okay, but some technical polish would spruce it up enough for the pack. Pending

Insane Techniques (Scylaax) - Holy balls that's intense. Overall really fun and done well. Though I personally would've taken out like 70% of the miniholds, I think from a stylistic point this one could be justified, so I'll let it slide. Good job. Accepted

Kirlian Shores (James May) - This could potentially be amazing. Polish it just a bit more and it'll be great. Unfortunately, I feel like you might have trouble figuring out where you need to tweak it, so if you need more help and a more detailed review let me know. Pending

Akubyou Taisan (porkypink) - The 16th/24th polyrhythms don't seem to follow anything (choose one), and there are a couple of jacks and ghost notes that are questionable. However, the difference between the questionable and acceptable ones are subtle distinctions. If you want help with that I can go into detail, but if you can find them yourself then it'll be evident you have the talent to discern them and your ideas just weren't clear. I like the note density control, which makes the climax feel awesome to hit. Pending

Magic (porkypink) - Yep, that confirms my suspicions. I've never heard of this guy before but I think he's gonna be a rising star. This is just plain fantastic. Accepted

Old Obscurity (choof) - Does the song ever pick up? It doesn't feel like there's ever any real music happening, it's just glitch rhodes and not much else. If the song had more substance it would probably be interesting enough to use. Chart is perfectly fine though. Pending

Proof of the Existance (Malice) - I'm wondering if the ending chordstream is too thick. Polyrhythms are also questionable but to be fair they're difficult to work with. Otherwise it's really fun. Minor tweaks should push this to acceptance range. Pending

My Time (Detrimentalist) - Pretty frickin fun, despite the slow sections. Song's a bit weird but that's personal taste. Accepted


Gum (Kommisar)
Waterlily Junction (Kommisar)
Fuse Gymnast (Kommisar)
Marill (Kommisar)

I cannot play any of these 4 because I'm pretty sure they use sm5 features that aren't in sm3.9 so they're either incredibly strange and desynced or they just straight up crash



Still need to do detailed review of Bodom Beach Terror.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

Download 3.9+, instead of 3.9.

I guarantee you that you're running into issues with rolls.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

I'll just get graphics for this file and release as a single, will send something more generic next time

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

solo japan rulz 3


fakes are a good way of adding arrows without damaging the overall % if you're using warps

[choof]

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

I have a wip that uses a warp into mines, before the warp it looks like a color wall but they're all fakes lol

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

I made an alternate chart for AiAe in yolo3 that had lifts but they played really bad so i removed them

[James May]

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

@Bufang: I removed the jack and made it into freeze, and removed the rolls (which I still think that it fit the song but w/e @_@ Also, a detailed review for Kirlian Shores would be nice. Also, be thankful that I abstained from sending Inspector Slammet if you thought that Divine Comedy was dumb lmao
