Re: FFR Scores ~2014 Remix~

If I had to guess, I would say it's because Mr. Typhlosion doesn't mind being mean to players and throwing an off the wall pattern that's more difficult than the rest of the stepfile.

Re: FFR Scores ~2014 Remix~

I'll copy-paste from a skype dialogue with hi19hi19:

definitely the #1 attribute is to make sure the song title makes absolutely no fucking sense -bonus points for ✰nonsense symbols✰-

then #2 attribute is always to make sure one part is at least 3 times harder than the rest of the file. can be just a single transition, or as much as one third of the file just being complete different from the rest (new anachronism, casino bmahphone, etc)

well the third rule is that, if something repeats but it's closer to the end of the song, layer it more even though it's the same because its more climaxy that way

bmahness rule #4 is to use a colorful grace note any time there's a sliding sound

and rule #5 is always put an up/down color trill if there is room for an up/down color trill

#1 attribute is to make sure the song title makes absolutely no fucking sense with ~bonus points for ✰nonsense symbols✰, words Randomly capitalized, or ALL CAPS SONG TITLE~
Sometimes you can tell it's a bmah file before you even hear the song or play the steps (see: SHI✰O✰KA✰RA✰, Tsumeawase Pt. 3, or NEW ANACHRONISM -I can't become the hero anymore-)

#2 attribute is always to make sure one part is noticeably harder than the rest of the file. Can be just a single transition, or as much as one third of the file just being completely different from the rest (see: Casino Bmahphone, Music for Kirby) Whatever this part is, that is "the bmah" that makes a bmah file so bmahy. Lots of files have difficulty spikes, but only bmah files have a bmah- it's definitely a question of feel. I have no idea how he does it but the fact that nearly everyone agrees the bmah in a bmah file has a special touch means it's definitely a thing.

#3 attribute is that if something repeats but it's closer to the end of the song, give it extra layering for climax effect (see: Necropotence)
This is a very bmahy solution to the common problem steppers face of how to deal with repetitive choruses. Most other people either layer different instruments, cut the repetitions, or just copy the same layering (or even the same steps entirely- guilty as charged) which usually winds up being boring. Bmah chooses the climax theory route with EXTRA LAYERS

#4 attribute is to use a colorful grace note any time there's a sliding sound, with the corollary being that if there is room for an up/down color trill, ALWAYS put an up/down color trill (see: A FLOWER GARDEN, Flesvelka)


EDIT- Ninja'd by bmah himself :P He would know best.
I'd definitely also add that bmah uses more jacks than many other steppers, especially jacks in jump transitions. This is less noticeable to me because I also use lots of jacks (lolturbo) but it's definitely also a defining aspect of bmahness.

Re: FFR Scores ~2014 Remix~

fun fact: Music (For Kirby) is just a simplified name of the song. The actual song name would be: Ongaku (for anything that's a pink vacuum)

Re: FFR Scores ~2014 Remix~

Fuck man I wanted to play a few games to celebrate finishing my goddamn econ pset.

Instead now I'm just mad.
How do I stamina?
Fuck man this would have been so pretty, I even held the AAA all the way up to the 12th jacks and crushed the 24ths compared to what I usually do.
(Also can I pat myself on the back for making piss-easy jumpstream patterns? lol)

[One Winged Angel]

Re: FFR Scores ~2014 Remix~

holding the AAA that long is still pretty sick

Re: FFR Scores ~2014 Remix~

and the good wasn't even from the bmah, oddly enough.

Thanks Obmah!

Re: FFR Scores ~2014 Remix~

@ Sorie: I feel exactly the same way about Coat Czech. Those bursts seem off to me and I can never time them well. Good job on the AAA. Very nice sleepmix score as well!

@ gameboy: D7 scores are scary

@ YoshL: wow, nice PA, go for teens FC!
@corn: that happens to me every time I play that file

@ tosh: very sick AAA ;O

@ Prawn: You go gurl! You made He-Man proud.

1146...

1147...

1148...

1149...

1150!

(This is just a bunch of other easy things..)

Edit: 1151 (why stop at 1150?!)

I need to go to bed :v

zzzz

random 32nd note parts :/

but ask yourself, why are the leaves yellow in the first place ?.?

Token

I proved them~

slow jumpstream is awkward.

Everything level 60 and under AAA'd

Guess I'll move to the 61's?

Don't want to keep using up replays. Also the 32nds in this are tricky


Dubstep part was a bit scary lol


The syncopation in this, ahhhh


Quite relieved to get to the ending portion. The weird jump stream and mini jacks were ick.


Did it myself.
