Actually I take that back if you do a Taylor Bennett collab

We Good - I gotta say I wasn't expecting such a burst-y file for a song with that kind of mood, but there isn't really much else you could do to make it as interesting as you did. Thank you for toning the bursts down for the other chart. I'll take it

Lol. That's the plan. Also yeah, I couldn't do as much as I can with that file but it was a good song to practice doing a rap file

[Shadow_God_10]

Due to unfortunate personal circumstances I didn't get started on the oni chart D: I'll get it done asap. might have it in tomorrow

[James May]

There are also some 16th notes missing in the guitar solo at 1:44. The freezes that you have at about 2min should be the same as the ones at the beginning of the file. The chart could also use a bit more consistency. For example, the song at 2:56 is more gentle/less intense than where it as at, say, 4:09. But the chart is more dense for the less intense part of the song; ie. you could make the 16ths at 4:24.85 jumps instead of just single notes, as the percussion is much louder there. It's not as big a deal in the Hard chart because the rights spots are toned down a bit better. So this one still needs some work yet before I'll add it in.

sent fixes

I tried cleaning up the 32nd notes a bit, if anything, the big 32nd section at the beginning could use some work, but i tried. The 16ths in the 24th section do infact work. I am not layering anything new in that entire section, its just a slightly tricky rhythm to hit. i did, however make the 16ths more friendly to hit. fixed a bunch of the consistency/missing note issues as well. I added a new layer to 4:09 and similar sections to try and make it more dense/interesting.

[Kraezymann]

Added a couple more accepted files, and there are a couple more being worked on. Will probably be starting gfx soon too, but SGDQ is on right now and its been preeeeetttyyyy fun to watch so far

@ wv plz get on that collab with James May PLEASAEPLEALSEPLEASE

Regarding Fly,

I'm still not satisfied with the challenge chart;

- M12 is too hard. Its a huge spike compared to the rest of the file, and then the long 16th jumpstream afterwards has those 3 note 8th chords in it at seemingly random spots - the same sounds are represented by 2 notes in other spots. This works later on though, for instance the section that starts just before M35, although I'm not sure why there are 16th jumps in some spots and not in others.
- The 24th note section with the 16ths is still really tough to hit accurately. I don't think it would necessarily be a bad idea to change those 16ths into 24ths just for the fact that it would be easier to time
- there are still missing notes in the solo after M51
- more (or same?) 3 note chords that do the same thing as I mention in my first point later in the file
- The section that starts halfway through M94 is really lacking in comparison to the rest of the file.

Over all, it just seems like its really overlayered. If you lightened up on a lot of the jumps and added a couple to that somewhat emptier section starting in M94, it'll really fix it up. You have some really good ideas going on in the song, so don't get too discouraged! It just needs a bit more TLC and I'm sure it will be great

damn this song is sick. id love to collab but i'm going to be taking a break from stepping if you havent gotten the collab done when i pick it back up i'll hit you up for sure though

[bmah]

I haven't stepped in quite a long time, so this was fun, sent something.

[Arntonach]

Working on some stuff, just need to add easier difficulties. Also can I send something with only one difficulty? It's a collab.

[Kraezymann]

Minimum two charts boyo. I made an exception last pack for hi19's Precious Heart because he stepped different lengths and difficulties of the song, and for the [special]s because I needed to top of the number of files in the pack as I felt it was a little small at the time.

The rate of submissions for this pack seems to be at a good pace so I'd like to stick to the rules please

Also bmemer I got all three emails but haven't had a chance to even look at the first one yet, so no worries there. I'll just grab the latest edition

[sunn0glasses]

WELL CHART FAST NEXT TIME

[SKG_Scintill]

discorded your another file

[SKG_Scintill]

discorded you another another file

[LuzianoZOMBI3]

Sent my first file.

[Kraezymann]

Airport Lady - Hard was fun, Challenge was a bit tough, but not bad at all. I think they need to be balanced out a bit with an easier chart with a bit less handstream in there. Do that and we good to go. Accepted pending an easier chart

Tick Tock - I think you did a really, REALLY good job with EZ (and HD), but Challenge was a bit too tough. I'd say take out Medium and Challenge, and add a slightly easier chart and it's a REALLY fun addition to the pack. Accepted pending an easier chart

HARD - Only one chart. Another tough submission from you lol

Seaside Labyrinth - classic bmah file to some sweet 80's style funky beats. The ending in all of the charts are so fun to play its almost spooky. The challenge chart especially is a really excellent technical chart that I think people will find fun to try to time right. Accepted!

Ishukan Communication - anime files SIGHHHHHHH but this is unfair because its actually fun to play EXCEPT for that [24][23] thing at 39.139s in the easy chart. Any way to make that thing a bit more manageable? Other spots in that chart (ie around the 11s mark) are forgivable, but not that one. Otherwise like I said, unfairly fun to play Accepted AFTER YOU FIX THAT ONE JUMP

Hold it Down - Fairly classic schintilll technical file. Hard is a pretty clever technical chart that should be fairly accessible to everyone that really flows well with the song. Accepted.

Huge Upside Down Squirrel - Medium is good to learn how the song goes, then Hard will assault you with the crazy shit... it gets real tough real fast, but still within the realm of possibility of casual/somewhat experienced players. Most experienced players will probably enjoy trying to combo this one.

No Trust, Walk Alone - I'm gonna have to say to no to this one. Unfortunately it is a pretty boring file, but the fault isn't yours, its the songs. It's tough to make a song like that any more interesting than 8th notes with the occasional 16th burst. Having said that, don't be discouraged with the result. If this is really your first file, then you have a lot of the basics all figured out, which is great to see. Its a bit of a dull song, which unfortunately makes for a dull chart

[Arntonach]

Sending in some cross x beats stuff. Challenge is a holdover from stepping hard stuff, so you can ignore it.
