Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

it'd be a different matter entirely if we were discussing how this pertains to the usage of sm5 exclusive features for chart-making (like this pack for instance)

okay, so let's start that discussion now
if there's a chance you won't be able to play some of the submissions because of a technical limitation that you outright refuse to fix, why is anyone taking your opinion seriously

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

More notes. Kind of doing multiple things at once so sorry for short notes x:

Warhead (blind)
Heavy - Rejected
Skimming through bufang's notes and this file, I do agree with his review on it. Though it has lots of potential so just keep on refining the file.

Thorough Pinata Dicking Amateur XXX (Choof)
Heavy - Rejected
Renard/10
Seriously though, why lmfao...

Shawty Wanna Fuck (McMuffin)
Rejected
NOPE ALL MY NOPE

Rydeen (Blurk)
*Offset should be 2.747*
Heavy - ???
What the fuck am I hearing lmfao. I mean, the file is alright and there's nothing wrong but god this song lmfao. Not sure whether or not to accept it :/

Proof of the Existance (Malice)
*Fix the offset, its late as fuck @_@*
Heavy - Accept
Nothing's wrong on my end but yeah...fix the offset Malice ;_;

My Time (Detrimentalist)
Heavy - Accept
This tops My Unfortunate Erection by miles, but what the hell that second half lmfao. Nothing wrong from this version now but yeah, that second half (from 131.477 to 160.423) feels so stupid lmfao, but fitting for a song like this.

Marill (Kommi)
*Offset is a bit early (it's actually 0.186)*
Oni - N/A
Gonna have to hold it until Friday when I get on my friend's laptop (which I have sm5 in) since it does derp up completely starting at 56.316 where the sync starts to go completely off. Gonna see if that's the issue. But the file up to that point was fine.

Magic (Porkypink)
Oni - Accept
Damn, this is p tight. My only complain is the pattern from 113.885 to 114.354 where it feels slightly awkward to hit due to the transition. Maybe find a way to clean that part up a bit? Other than that, this chart is good to go.

Heavy - Accept
Looks good to me.

Like a G666 (Choof)
Heavy - Rejected
Well then...

Kaermichi (Rebarf)
Heavy - Rejected
This song has actually been stepped before. And to be honest, I kind of prefer Skwidward's version over this. I mean, its not bad but nothing special and I feel like its a watered-down version of Skwidward's file (plus a stop added).

Insane Techniques (Scylaax)
Heavy - Accept
My feelings matched the other judges. Probably the best file I have played from you. Great file coming from you. I do actually lean the preference to you on the file (Since I know that Alex stepped it) but so far two good files for this heh.

I'm Your Daddy (Scylaax)
Oni - Accept
Holy fuck those mini-freezes. Aside from that its fun to play. Nothing too erroneous compared to the other submissions.

Funny Shuffle (bmah)
Heavy - Accept
File rules. And surprisingly I didn't get bmah'd.

Endless Despair II (Scylaax)
Heavy - Accept
This and Insane Techniques are the two best files I've played from you~

Cruise Beast (Choof)
Standard - Rejected
Best of your three Renard files but I don't think they're ideal for a pack like this.

Cedar Shed (Kraezymann)
*File is early by 0.026 ms, fix that please*
Standard - Accept
I'm willing to accept it as is. The gimmicks feels nice to hit, and I liked how you used the bpm to change the intensity of the song. Not sure how the other judges will react but I like this song and file for what it is.

Catastrophe (XelNya)
Heavy - Rejected
Same issues that is going on with your other file. Though this one is a bit better, but still needs lots of polishing up before it can get in.

Gum (Kommi)
Oni - N/A
Gotta wait until Friday to get on my friend's laptop to judge this, but I think I have played it before...anyhow, need to replay to remember.

Waterlily Junction (Kommi)
Oni - Accept
I'll have to disagree with bufang's judgement on that pic. It's really NOT that bad of a spike/pattern and it is correct where it is and appropriate given the difficulty of the file.

Fuse Gymnast (Kommi)
N/A
This file's already out in Untitled Stepmania Pack x:

Oriens (gd)
N/A
Same as Fuse Gymnast x:

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

Oh boy, can I xmod the fuck out of it? I already have some ideas and it wouldn't take very long to do

is this a yes or a no

i've basically planned out exactly how to do this already, just need the folder now

[Buta-san]

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

@rGX Yea sure it wouldn't hurt to add that. Im actually mixing the cut right now because I didnt realize the first half is actually more steppable(heads up to gd/starplatinum too)

I never said I outright refused to fix, nor did I ever mention what exactly was wrong with my sm5. on top of that (excluding that one time I poked a bit of fun at a chart which was apparently inappropriate) I never judged any chart I couldn't actually play, and I don't recall anyone saying I wasn't allowed to abstain temporarily from judging a chart

on top of that, what does me not having sm5 have anything to do with any opinion or the validity of my points, that I've given so far

I don't think I'm treating anyone unfairly, in fact if anything I'm possibly being more fair to everyone here than anyone else. I haven't attacked anyone and if anything, mostly I've been defending people who had valid points

@rGX Yea sure it wouldn't hurt to add that. Im actually mixing the cut right now because I didnt realize the first half is actually more steppable(heads up to gd/starplatinum too)

I'm waiting until all of you finish your shit so I can start on my chart hehe HYPE THE MAGIC IS REAL

Hey, alright. I have always had a problem getting the right offset for my files, so I'll fix it when I get home.

Out of curiosity, does it drift at all? I decided to cut the song down, and I actually moved the ending forward to make it shorter. The freeze before the climax, where the percussion and stuff come in, is where I cut it and I think I made it a touch early, so I had to adjust the bpm change accordingly. I just want to know if I hit it or not

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

I'm liking the inclusiveness this pack is beginning to show, from both a judging and charting perspective. Keep it up duders 8)

well in this case, I could just submit my file separately, rofl. it'd be neat to have two differently layered files as well as two different halves of the song, kinda like a part 1 and part 2. I see no reason to merge my chart with yours then.

I guess bufang is gonna have to pick one of the two for a 6key chart rip

[Buta-san]

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

I also have a long cut will send you the file to see if your interested.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

marill has a tiny warp I think. it's meant to be played xmod on sm5

Wut. I did review it. Check the post right after caliber said that my chart for ks was going to include his x:

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

O lol spoiler tags, y u do dis

Gentlemantlemen, do not use phones to browse this forum and shit.

On a serious note, I think in my latest revision, I changed the piano holds to 32nd rolls. @James May the tiny stop was to adjust the measures for me cuz I thought that the measure it starts in looks weird. Might have been in a different time signature but otherwise, if I change it now, all the previous judges notes will go off-sync.

BTW you have Skype?

Alright. And I do have Skype. I rarely go on nowadays though.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

i'm working on judging but i'm pretty slow

warning: sm5 counts the first measure of a file as m. 0, you will have to add 1 if you use 3.9/3.9+/3.95
trigger warning: autism

Akybyou Taisan - the minimal layering is pretty cool but some of the sounds that you stepped are too subtle
the intro makes very little sense (it's impossible to hear what the 32nds go to)
the jumps in m. 31 and m. 35 could easily be rearranged to fit the pitches better (as it is now the jump placement on m. 31 in particular seems kinda random)
pending

Amatias - i get how you use holds for piano/organ flourishes but a fair amount of them just don't work
for instance, the very first time you do this (m. 6) is overly long and the second one (m. 16) feels like an odd transition
i could go into more detail with these but a majority of them are held past the end of the flourish they go to
at m. 53 the sudden transition between layering and only stepping the guitar solo is kinda jarring, but acceptable
the previous measures (m. 51-2, first half of 53) need the layering to be interesting while adding the layering to the solo (second half of 53 and m. 54) would result in an out of place difficulty spike
i like a large amount of this file for general reasons
some of it makes me wish for a harder chart but that doesn't detract from this one
accept, fixing the holds would be nice but not terribly necessary

April.#02 - oh man this file feels awesome to play
i have an issue with the mine column at the beginning too; the times when you "break" the column with notes seem arbitrary
same issue pops up in m. 56-63 only without the mines- the leftmost column seems to be used arbitrarily
still, i don't think that much needs to be discussed about this file
accept

Bodom Beach Terror -
m. 4, last beat (and every similar measure afterwards): why is that pattern triple-triple-double? i hear no difference in instrumentation between the three beats
m. 15 (and the same measure in the second verse): there's a 24th note riff in the second two beats that you either completely ignored or misstepped, and i'm not happy with that. the cymbals get ignored too
m. 39, last eighth note: there is NO sound there other than some wobbling, why does that get a jump?
m. 43, last beat: i'm confused by this. there's a crash on-beat yet there's only one note, then the only thing notable about the offbeat is that the vocalist starts the first word of the chorus yet that gets a triple. i feel like these should both just be jumps
this file is pretty minimal for the most part which is fine, and i'm not seeing too many serious issues
however, i think repeating the verse and chorus is a bit excessive, and there's actually a bunch of interesting stuff that's getting ignored
pending

Catastophie - the piano chords during the two "choruses" definitely aren't accurately stepped; the grace notes are pretty much always before the 16th/8th/quarter/whatever but for some reason you switched from early grace notes to late ones VERY early in each chorus
m. 8, many similar measures: the strings are way too intense to be either ignored or just stepped as wandering 16th notes
m. 47, third beat: what are these 32nds supposed to be? if they're supposed to be the guitar that's a really bad idea, as it's hard to hear exactly what they're doing other than playing one note consistently. the drums are a lot more prominent and made me think you misstepped this beat reeeeally badly
the drums during some of the interlude-y sections make your layering seem really sloppy, and on a related note you shouldn't have stepped so much of the fade out
i like the song but i think a bunch of work needs to be done
pending but leaning towards a reject
