[Snapps]

aperson hayden and toph are the best.

idk how you guys cant see that.

[Snapps]

and tear

[Patashu]

snapps posted holy-

tear though?

[Snapps]

yeah tear his files were amazing i think im thinking of the same guy

[Patashu]

disregard, next time, galvanotaxis, tribal revival, empathy, out of the ashes, healing-d-vision, erasermotormaximum? that tear?

[Snapps]

yeah but he did more that were like really good like glax and frog something those were stellar. something about his files had so much creative flow to them while still being good for the eye.

EDIT: i think that makes sense

[who_cares973]

healing d visions is the best file from him ive played

maybe bacause someone else happened in the following 3 years??!?

[Patashu]

agreed on healing-d-vision, except the ending trills felt wrong, and the gaps w/ long freezes could have been used instead to express lesser elements of the percussion

I've played erasermotor a lot too

[Snapps]

he made a v2 for erasermotor idk if you guys know

[Patashu]

yeah I meant the v2, I never played the v1 apparently it's bad or something

[Snapps]

also his charly is great

so what i really want to do is make one more pack that has just one file from every step artist and that one file would be their proclaimed best.

great idea or greatest lmao

[Mollocephalus]

awesomest idear except good luck finding dtm, dan23, cynic, or anyone who stopped being around for so long. some if not most of them even uninstalled stepmania.

[who_cares973]

you can uninstall O_O?

[Patashu]

I know cynic stopped. I've seen him on furnet and talked with him lol

Also dump incoming. I didn't give grades because I dislike actually scoring.

Also, my cetaka fav files would certainly include vatstep dsp and RAN (played both like 100 times already..great stuff).
