Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

[lurker]

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

amatias v2- last month i sent a pm to ghakimx explaining some problems i had with the changes in the new chart. there hasn't been a revision since so this remains a pending
atropos (rcaliber's)- mother of god this is great. this better not get rejected because it's sm5 only nvm
catastophie- kinda doubt you're actually going to fix this properly (you fixed maybe two of the piano flourishes and nothing else that was apparent)
danger danger- incredibly inconsistent and uninteresting
hakugin no datenshi-
timestamps because that v0 mp3 makes me sad
8.572-8.878: drums are quite clearly 24ths, not 32nds
14.617: missing note
37.194-37.959: there's definitely something more complex going on here than you're suggesting
51.123: missing note, fix it the way you did at 76.847
the ceiling could never hold us- thank you for stepping the generic hihats and/or completely ignoring the rhythm of the much louder synths in m. 141-170 otherwise i'd have to look through a lot more of this file. i'm not a fan of 7 minute long files that have nothing even possibly interesting happen until the 5 minute mark
warhead- no

now i have to download some stuff

edit:
we luv llama- "the entire first chorus section has an unbroken 8th right arrow anchor" -anonymous
bleeding in the brain- i'm guessing the easy chart isn't supposed to be there but the novice chart is really fuckin good

Well the file is obviously trash so into cringefest it goes smh

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

Ok back from a weekend trip. I will get to judging some files this week. I'd like everyone else to also (Kommisar, GD, lurker)

lol

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

at some point this week, probably in the evening, I will get caught up on new files. I have everything downloaded, I just haven't opened up SM to look at stuff.

for the record, I started a full-time job last week, so I don't have much free-time anymore—I'm also juggling three motherfucking jobs, so hold your panties tight.

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

While I enjoy your files I question if another rap song will have replayability

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

Alright I just finished my big ass math test so I actually have nothing I need to worry about for a while. Playing shit TONIGHT

Double Monk:
Just doesn't seem like an enjoyable and replayable file to me.
nope

Enfoire une fois, enfoires duex fois:
There isn't too much wrong with the chart. You're doing your best to do what the music allows, it just isn't a very interesting file. Mostly because of song choice
Rejceted

Gaijin Shawty:
This isn't a bad file for something on the easier side. I think the patterns are pretty generic and copy pasted though. I'd like to see some more variation in that regard. Also try to tone down some holds. I understand why most of them are there but the chart seems cluttered with so many
Pending

Ham Jam:
Holy fuck this file was fun. I really like this. I've got nothing.
Accepted

Seventeen:
I think whenever the louder quarter notes that happen every two beats at m25 could be hands, to bring out the dynamics of the music in that area. Otherwise, I don't see anything really wrong with the chart. It's just somewhat of a boring song, and since that is the case, I would like to see the hands at some spots.
Pending

Space Travel:
At the very beginning and the very end of the song you put notes to an underlying melody. That feels so weird but it might just be me. I would have put notes to the more obviously heard music. Otherwise, it is a good file. There could be some filler notes placed in areas where there are some "gallops" to make the chart feel like it flows better.
Accepted

We Luv Lama:
We already have a jumpstream version of this song in Nuclear Blast 4. This is pretty similar to that, aside from some more intense jumpstream in the first half of the song
Rejected

Truthful Legend:
The only problem I see with it is that I would want some more layering in some of the streams. It is a pretty good file otherwise.
Pending

There are my notes up to when I last updated the first post. Time to download some more files and play some more

Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

I whizzed through everything new last night

Bleeding in the Brain
· What's the deal with the massive gap of empty space in the Light/Easy chart?
· Nice skittles guitar solo. Flashback to NTM/Baq12 days.
· Solid, nothing worth noting.
Yes


Double Monk
· Consider mine placements for the empty gaps between measures 38 to 42.
· I'm not sure I quite grasp what the 2 mine placements are even for. They seem practically random.
· All the long holds can be trimmed in length for better aesthetic and smoother pattern transitions.
· Very rigid and tough to score on, but it definitely gives this chart a sort of charm. Nothing worth noting otherwise.
Yes


Enfoire une fois, enfoires duex fois
· Measures 9 to 10, you should consider mine placements to layer the sounds you ignored.
· Beat 58, the single [1] feels better layered as a jump with a long length hold/
· The selective layering is fine, but I would've liked to see a much more thoroughly layered harder difficulty to layer in all the bass jumps during the 24th streams and even throwing in hand usage. As a straight-forward rather easy file, it's fine but lacks the certain oomph factor the song gives. You have a lot to work with so why not go all out?
· Make a harder difficulty and rework the pre-existing chart and I'd reconsider this.
No


Gaijin Shawty
· All the holds can be trimmed in length for better aesthetic and smoother pattern transitions.
· Frankly, why don't you just thoroughly the jumps to all of the 4ths rather than layering it sometimes and then randomly ignoring them other times. The layering is difficult to follow as you have it now.
· The selective layering at measures 10, 14, 18, and 22 completely breaks the flow of the chart. Layer in the bass jumps you intentionally ignored.
· Mine placements could've offered another option in terms of layering variation but you didn't bother using any.
· Overall, the chart isn't very memorable and the song is too repetitive and doesn't offer interesting things to work with.
No


Ham Jam.
· Most of the longer holds can be trimmed in length a tad bit, just for aesthetics.
· You went a tad little overboard with hold usages, but otherwise the chart is solid with nothing worth noting. Probably your best submission to the pack thus far.
Yes


Hideout
· I would definitely shift the 32nd trill pattern around to avoid the 32nd jacks. They're tough to hit them as intended.
· Easier difficulty is solid but could be a tad more simplified I find.
· Repetitive, but it's short and sweet. I'm willing to pass this off after fixing the 32nd jacks.
Maybe


Pelican Moondance
· Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have our signature "no one is going to AAA this" file.
Yes


Ra'am
· 222BPM hand-jacks might be a bit overkill but the overall file is supposed to be difficult anyways.
· Brutal file but definitely scoring bait. Nothing worth noting otherwise.
· Good call on the easier difficulty. That chart's solid as well.
Yes


Seventeen
· Straightforward chart, but the jacks add a scoring factor and charm to the file so that it isn't too uninteresting.
· It's definitely incredibly repetitive and as such becomes lackluster to sit through. I'd recommend just cutting both the song and chart by half it's length to keep some players interested. When you've got multiple repetitions to little to no variation in layering, it gets boring after two or three repeats of the song and same patterns.
· Because the pack's looking for more outstanding, and/or interesting files, I'm going to have to say...
No


Shapeless Flower
· Once the vocals and bass kick in, the piano chord holds are completely drowned out. Personally, I don't like piano chords to be represented by holds to begin with so I'd recommend just scrapping them all together.
· In addition, once you start layering holds to the strings or what not, now there becomes a disconnected overlap as to which holds are going to what. In short, the piano chord holds serve even less of a purpose.
· For the 4th hand placements that fall at the beginning of measures, you should consider shifting the 8th notes that come after in a position where it forms a jack with said hand. It'd feel better given that you're trying to overemphasize the strings.
· It's a solid chart, but the song doesn't offer much to work with and it isn't all that interesting TBH. I'd normally accept this for a pack I'd run but for this one, my decision is torn. I'm leaning more towards a...
No


Space Travel
· I prefer the version without the 24th trills.
· Consider layering in the piano chord jumps in the beginning measures.
· Measure 71+, same deal about layering in the piano chord jumps.
· This is probably my favourite submission from you by far next to Magic. Digging this overall, although it's a bit on the repetitive side.
· Consider making a simplified easier difficulty that also converts your long 16th jacks into trills. That'd be a nice addition.
Yes


Super Hey Ya
· Some more thorough hand usage would've been excellent for this chart.
· Measure 66+, there are some 8th jumps you can layer in to connect the 4th bass jumps once the melody shifts in certain sections.
· Repetitive mindless jumpstream but it's fun to play and has scoring elements with the 24th/32nds you threw in. I'm actually willing to pass this off purely for your ridiculous song choice, lmfao. I don't know if Rebirth will like this but I'll say yes to this.
Yes


Truthful Legend [Paeonia suffruticosa] ~Yaeno Magenta
· I'm not sure whether or not I'm digging your selective layering choices in this chart. I feel once the piano solo comes in, there doesn't seem to be a decent enough contrast between the piano and the rest of the instruments going on in the background. Idk, personally I'd've liked to see you keep the jump layering consistent throughout—I understand simplifying for guitar solos, but with piano solos it doesn't seem to sit well with me.
· Solid chart otherwise with nothing major worth noting. I'm willing to pass this off as is, regardless of my issues with your selective layering choices.
Yes


WE LUV LAMA
· Most certainly not the pack this file belongs in. Better suited for a pack looking for difficult files as opposed to this one where it's concentrated on interesting ones.
No

Would be nice to know what makes you think that the file was unenjoyable and had no replay value.

GD, ill look at all that when i get off work and fix it up a bit.
