hey who wants to review my bad files

[rayword45]

yeah after 2 or 3 years of not trying i decided to try stepping again but the problem is i still suck

so whoever doesnt suck, please say so and ill pm you some files im trying to make suck less

my biggest stepping influences are stepper who shall not be named and 0 because i have a roll fetish

1. I try my best to sync with Audacity because the wave forms on DDream work like shit to me.
2. Be as harsh a critic as you can but be constructive and don't be mean or I'll cry to my mommy.
3. My pitch relevancy skills are subpar, I tend to relegate that to jumps for some reason.

[konacraze22]

I could try some of your files. I'm not the best judge however I can still check it for sync and maybe some arrow placements

please don't ever step a file

EDIT: looks like you already did. toss it in the recycling bin and find better influences for stepping.

hey screw you man don't you dare tell me Coactive [Over My Shoulder Mix] is a file anything less than amazing

yes DeVouR and WWE suck balls but not everyone can be consistent

[Fission]

not everybody can be consistent but he has stepped maybe 1 or 2 good files

[rayword45]

well i mean imo Coactive is in the top 10 files of the site, and Mephisto Waltz, October and Gym Leader are pretty fun. i also don't understand how anyone finds Teh Tricky Techno difficult.

nobody rolls like the xanderman

this is the wrong thread to argue about steppers but i mean at least my influence isnt hyrogashi

[Fission]

there is a pretty clear difference between "fun" and "good". proficient steppers understand the value of finding a balance between technicality and playability which is something xandertrax isn't able to do in a majority of his files.

[rayword45]

man all this argument over part of a sentence all i want is someone to tell me how to make my files suck less

well, hopefully besides "find better influences"

Well that's your starting point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also konacraze offered to help.

[Wayward Vagabond]

this isnt an argument over part of a sentence this is us telling you that xander is just as bad of a role model for stepping as having an abusive father as a role model for fatherhood

[rayword45]

The whole thing was kinda meant to be tongue-in-cheek because I know Xandertrax is one of the most maligned steppers. It does partially ring true due to my roll obsession though.

fine ill edit my post

just post a link to your file, it's not necessary to PM it. nobody is really going to care if your file is poor and you can just ignore criticism anyways. ....right?

this is the only correct way to deal with criticism

[rayword45]

isnt there some sort of rule where an ffr file isn't supposed to have a public stepmania file? i swear that was said somewhere down the line with Synthlight logic being "we need to keep some draw to the game" or something

also i wouldnt ignore criticism because these are some pretty rough drafts (though to be fair, i never make final drafts and when i do they're nearly the same as first drafts)

[Fission]

you aren't releasing it as a single and it's not in a pack, it's a WIP so no. by ignoring criticism i meant if it's not credible mainly.

[rayword45]

oh alright then fine

ddream works fine for sync, use the wave filter (check patashu's thread on how to use ddream correctly)

[rayword45]

i do use the wave filter damnit, it still works like total ass to me
