Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

I definitely agree with the 79, haha.

70 for New Fluttershy is a bit low for a long constant 220(?) BPM jumpstream that lasts as long as that; it also has high potential for pattern splitting due to a few UL/DR jumps, haha. I think 72 is fine for that file personally.

The S.S.H. file seemed really easy for a 75, but I tanked during the 24ths multiple times in the middle of the song, so I don't know if it gets any harder than that, lol.

Well I was thinking of the Destination Renard song which had a fast BPM but was rated pretty high yet got conquered by the tournament players (and most people in general). To go with my joking to Rob, 70 would be reasonable -- though I agree that it might be better as a 71 or staying at 72.

As for the SSH file, I only reached those 24ths once and blasted through them like they weren't even there. I was actually expecting more after that point, but aside from some 16ths that felt awkward and the 32nd "grace" notes, there was nothing more difficult. Thus I found it a lot easier than a 75.

Hell, think of some easier songs with similar-style 24ths (Distorted God at 71 comes to mind). Sure, the SSH file is faster, but there are many more 24ths with perhaps (opinion, but I suspect the general consensus would agree) more awkward patterns in DG. Anyhow, I imagine the 24ths in Lightning Strikes could be effectively AAAd by jump-cheating... and so aside from factoring in length (which I personally don't think should affect a file's difficulty rating very much unless it's constant stamina-draining handstream, which this is not), I could very easily consider Lightning Strikes much lower than a 75.

The way that you said it was pretty harsh, but I understand where you're coming from. You could really make the same argument for any other kind of music though - there are so many idm/breakcore tracks in-game (much more than pony), so I could easily say that I'm forced to like it. The fact is, though, that if you don't like it, you can just ignore it. Don't like ponies? Then don't play pony files, simple as that.

Sorry, it was blunt indeed. I suppose that's true but it's unfortunate how I should ignore some files simply based on music selection. I guess it is what it is.

I'm also trying to help rising artists get exposure for their music. Most of them happen to make pony music, but a lot of them also make non-pony stuff too, which I also step. There seems to be a sort of double standard going on here.

True. Even though Lindsey is shooting for national attention, I guess it goes the same way on different perspectives.

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

length + gay spikes (24ths etc.) + awkward-somewhat-dense-at-times 210?bpm jumpstream towards the end of the file = my logic for 75 on the S.S.H. file...it could also work as a 74 I suppose but I wouldn't put it any lower than that given the sheer length of the file plus that speedy jumpstream

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

outer ****ing space

thank you Tidus!

Outer Space: By far best song choice/file of the week but those grace notes oh my Satan.

Yay!

I hope everyone else enjoys Outer Space, I feel like I put a lot of work into it haha. A file I'm genuinely happy with.

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

Ehhen feels more like an 81/82 to me. Those ridiculous jack transitions and dense second half is extremely demanding in skill and stamina. Even feels harder than Sleepmix Strikes Back.


EDIT: I don't find it even close to Ketsarku, Holy Orders, gunk, tageri and other 80's.

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

Someone make a thread for Ehhen and we can ram a difficulty out for that in there...I was going to tell beamer (benz 'n bentley) or jx to kick it back to 78, but if you guys want 79 (or higher?) we'll talk it out in there (inlove)

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

Calling - song was pretty nice, easy chart, not much to say. Didnt expect those 32nds, threw me off for a sec. lol.

Lightning Strikes Again - Metal Squad - Wasnt too excited about the song before playing just because we get yet more SSH music, the intro sounded pretty cool though. Chart was pretty fun for a 5 min song, some parts felt awkward, but not that bad.

Mario Mix For Piano - Im usually excited when seeing piano songs being released, but wasnt too fond of this one. Chart was eh, things like those 32nd gallops were an ass.

New Fluttershy (MONSTER MIX) - fuck ponies

Outer Space - Ronald Jenkees songs are always interesting to listen to, chart was pretty fun, tricky at times, but a good play.

Ehhen Doyadosu? Tengujiman - ah, good ol MOSAIC.WAV, not a fan of the song based on personal taste in music, chart wasnt that bad, nice challenging chart for 1:45.

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

I'm I the only one having problem with those parts in New Fluttershy ?


(lol hidden minijacks)

(also, I really don't get the pony hate)

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

One hand gallop usage going into minijacks and jumps like that is indeed awkward. You're not the only one.

[Choofers]

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

I gave ehhen an 8/10, iirc

awesome chart

The fact is, though, that if you don't like it, you can just ignore it. Don't like ponies? Then don't play pony files, simple as that.

You might have forgotten that some of us can't because of the fact to have the best stats possible you'd have to play it enough to score as best possible on it anyway meaning you can't just ignore it.

That argument is stupid. You just don't have to like it, it's in the game and the music is set to cater to all kinds of people, someone else liked it enough to chart it so it's still fine even if it's a pony song or high pitched J-pop. You don't have to like it, but there's more than you here to cater to, so tough shit.

That's just how it goes.

Props though that you're trying to expose artists, that's certainly a good thing.

I'll be trying to play these later.

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

lightning strikes again - ffr needs a 5 min long ssh song [jk it's pretty nice]
new fluttershy - pretty cool file i just wish the 2nd roll didn't end in a single tap
ehhen - what

Holy Orders.

Ehhen is WHAT THE FLYING FUCK. I'm reminded of Love and Justice. The streams aren't that fast, they're just so goddamn dense and persistent. It's starting to look like I might have to mash this a bit.

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

not sure what to think about this week

[kommisar]

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

Figured lightning strikes again would be love or hate. I felt compelled to step the whole song though. Rarely do marathons lmao


I don't think people should be prevented from speaking their mind on song choices since they're the people playing the game. Really though if ya don't like the song no matter how good the steps are, probably just don't play it. And trust me, I have an incredible amount of animosity towards pony music and its entire fandom, but that doesn't give me a reason to discredit a perfectly good simfile

Re: Songs of the Week (December 2, 2012)

p.s. it really isn't hard to play with the volume off, people
