New Songs: Jun 16th, 2011

[stavie33]

Nice bunch of songs, I guess.

Fatum Anima is fine except it should be a 5, I hate songs like this though because they are so understepped it's frustrating, I don't like the ideas of having to make v2's unless both files are fun in their own way and neither feels under or overstepped (Destiny and Electro Rush are examples), they say we need more easy files, well...

YES Salt - a perfect example of a song to make an easy file with. It fits perfectly, it doesn't feel understepped at all, and gives us one of those 'easy files' we are so looking for.

Dance of Zeal - song is good, file is okay. It's really easy for it's placement, it should be right after Suicide of K, it is in no way harder than Kyrie or Bloodmeat. The only hard part is the drum solo, I honestly won't be playing it again, despite my love of S.S.H

Kitsune^2 song - best song and file of the week, and hardest to AAA for me, though it's completely due to a severe glitch my computer was having that I fixed before playing the FMO song, either way.

Dance and Zeal... sightread blackflagged. Should it be a High VC? It's very short in length, short jacking and a little speed and you've got a AAA.

Edit: Ehh, I don't know actually... the more I play it the harder it seems.

Those 32nds are extremely fast in Dance and Zeal - would you believe me if I told you that they are faster than Reality's 16th runs?

No way Dance and Zeal is a 10 - not even close.

But yeah, low/solid 11 seems about right; the varying densities keep the file manageable, you just need to have a good deal of speed to piece the entire thing together.

[Silvuh]

I didn't bother to resend the correct Sleet file, 'cause I only took out an arrow from one hand, but this version of Fatum Anima is missing the extra 16ths in the last part and in one of the transition parts nearer the beginning, which I had been told to fix by more than one person, so, yeah.

I'll e-mail the updated .dwi of that along with The Gateway and Serenade of Storms again, just in case.

It's the second day, so it should be able to get updated, but yeah, would have to AAA it again if that will be the case. ... There will be some more 16ths, but it should still be pretty easy to play one-handed.

[igotrhythm]

Now that I think about it, AJ, yeah, that makes sense. Dance and Zeal is more about consistency than anything else and staying on top of the 16ths despite the occasional weird pattern, and the 32nd sections are not only short but have fairly easy patterns. 17-0-0-2 sightread with a watering eye, got it down to 11-0-0-1 before starting to sweat. If I can figure out that ending, I could probably SDG if I don't dump goods in some of the longer left-handed jacks.

Nothing's Gonna Stop Me sounds like it was composed with a 16-bit soundfont...reminded me heavily of Megaman X3. Once I remembered to close a tab where I had a chat room going, the AAA came fairly easily. (Used the lag runs to see the patterns in the JS, lawl.)

Haven't played the other two yet, but they sound like they're good.

Bahahaha no wonder why it took me at least 200 attempts to AAA it xD Going to need to buckle down to speed training in the next few days.

Nice job on the AAA

For reference:
Reality = 259 BPM
Dance and Zeal = 132 BPM (x2 for 32nds in comparison to 16ths = 264 BPM).

How's Dance & Z above bloodmeat. Maybe it's just me, but this was the easiest FMO AAA I've gotten so far :/ There is nothing tricky, even the drum solo part requires a little bit of consistency and it will be AAA'd. There is already 12~ AAA's!

[~Zeta~]

and look at the ones who AAA'd.

don't know why there's arguing. fmo. and personal performance really means nothing for rating files.

[stavie33]

Yeah I said this before, Dance and Zeal should be right above Divine Suicide of K, and before Kyrie, there is no way it's harder than Kyrie and Bloodmeat. It's a low FMO, since there are only 2 hard parts in the whole song (drum solo and the ending), but it's definitely an FMO, no doubt there.
