People can choose how they want to step certain things. Personally, I like the color idea and it strays away from this horribly mechanical stepping style that everyone seems to deem "correct".

Odd colored bursts in CCCP = sync = okay.
ERB white jacks = successful experiment = okay.
White jumps to express hand patterns in an easy FFR file = expression and playability adjustment = okay.
Grace notes being colored = accent = okay.

Palette swaps = gay = no.
Rainbow rolls in Happy Rainbow = name theory = no.

this is debatable, if it's successfully synced and doesn't affect the gameplay of the file negatively in any way i'd say go for it.
if you would make the whole file in rainbow colors just due to the name, that would be despicable.

And of course, you may feel free to do whatever you wish. I'm just trying to give you a general guideline and my personal opinion.

IMO what I'm seeing here is people having some sort of paradigm into stepping and then adding exceptions to the rule to fit the odd examples that contradict them

e.g. CBR first saying that palette swaps are stupid, and then making an exception by saying "experimenting" is ok - which is what Cy was doing
- there's no such thing as "bad" or "good" experimenting; you're just trying to figure out what's best by experimenting

[i love you]

Not like there's rules on how you can step things anyway. As long as it's accurate and goes with the song, i don't see any problem.

Like i said, i'm just giving generalized guidelines of what I think is appropriate.

1) Experimenting is okay, and recommendable in some cases.
2) Too bad his palette swap experiment would not make a fun file thus failed.

In this particular case, it wasn't the strongest of ideas, yeah. I just don't want to hear people going NO COLOR TRICKS OR THEMED FILES OSFOMASOFMOAS, haha.

Regardless of what anyone says, keep making files and keep uploading and sharing them with others. As cheesy as it sounds, practice, finding one's stepping style and peer critique makes perfect.

you arent almost everyone

Also, if you guys can't see Carlos' obvious trolling and general cynicism and sarcasm, you are all blind.

[TC_Cyrenics]

I guess I could try more colors once I get a feel for how they work, but you know, dare to dream about palette swaps.

PS: Star Spangled Banner red, white and blue, whites in place of yellows. Patriotic-manias, and easily synced.

EDIT: Oooh, leave a spot in the next batch for an Independence Day file.

Successful use of ACA = homosexual love scene. :3

I finally got off my lazy ass and have two submissions ready for the next batch.

Also, I'll either start judging this weekend or next.
