Default Re: Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

Done judging for now...

Space Travel (Porkypink)
*Offset is off by a 64th, fix pl0x*
Oni - Accept
28.620 - Just my opinion but each of those 192nd graces that you have going to the wubs would best be fitted as mini-freezes.
81.763 to 82.620 - 48th mini-freezes would suffice in these sections to emphasize the wubs.
85.335 to 85.906 - Not sure if the 8ths and 24ths are really needed here. Mainly in this would be shifted to primarly 12ths with freezes appropriated to 48ths. I'll have to hear through it again just to be sure.
109.335 to 109.906 - Same as I mentioned above. I'm not hearing it as how you have it. Double check on these two parts.
112.763 to 113.335 - Ditto to the two other parts above.
135.763 - Just scrap the freeze and leave it as a mini-freeze. No need to have a freeze hold that long.

Truthful Legend (Porkypink)
*Nice CDTitle as banner huehue*
Oni - Accepted
Nothing too blatantly wrong that I can see in this file. Also, those cascading freezes lmao, I use to do that all the time x)

Idola (Pompom)
Oni - Accepted
Much better, though the mines lmao. Anyhow, nice fun file.

Atropos (caliber)
*lmao, mp3 file and .sm derped up ddream so I had to use sm editor*
Heavy - Accept
Definitely much cleaner than rparty's. And to be fair, the only way that I see both yours and rparty's going in is if rparty sends you his chart to place it as a separate chart and that rparty fixes up chis chart. Anyhow, until that happens, switching rparty's chart from Accept to Reject on the merits that this chart is much better suited for the pack as it stands.

Bad Boy (Pedolad)
Oni - Reject
My qualms are with the others. And I hate to say it but wafles' chart from yolo 1 is better than this (even if its well...subpar tbh) oops.

Botines (DaShoe)
Heavy - Pending
Ohey you're back :V Anyhow, a few things to consider:
- Cut back on the length of the freezes, you'll have lots of room to get creative with the layering (Also, at the length that you have, its almost impossible to see some notes right after the tail such as the one in 16.720 where I could barely see that 12th note)
- Another thing to consider is the usage of hands and quads, mainly since you're working in such a short span of arrows (4key where as opposed to 6key) so the usage of those hands and quads can really cause the file to feel slightly cramped. In order to moreso give both the same impact and the visual appeal, have them be jumps with mini-freezes (no more than 48ths)
- Though other than that its a nice swing file to boot :V

Danger Danger (blind)
Heavy - Reject
First off, lol that 32nd wall and how that's patterned. And second, song choice is rubbish to be quite honest...

Do Not Go Gently (Pedolad)
Heavy - Reject
Seeing as how there was files that were rejected on the principle of being already released (unless we're going to change that rule on rebarf's discreetion...)...you already released this file as a single release.

Double Monk (Gradiant)
Oni - Accept
I cry every time. Those 12th jumpjacks are brutal but given the difficulty and also, the mines that are at the end when transfering to the freezes are a dick but not too detrimental.

Seventeen (???)
Heavy - Accept
Shiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeet, who are you? I actually enjoyed playing this file. I didn't see anything wrong with it (except for that one mini-trill that is slightly cucumbersome but I think that is better suited as a mini-burst rather than a mini 1-handed trill). I really didn't spot anything too erroneous in this file that would warrant it being rejected to say the least though so nice job.

WE LUV LLAMA (Trance EX Style)
Oni - Reject
You crazy. We don't need another Llama file. Also, why would you restep icy's file...

I'm confused, I didn't submit anything named "Seventeen"

I'm glad you liked it though I think.

I'm the one who made it, and I'm glad you liked it! Thought the CDTitle was in there, and I also sent from the same email, but then I realized oh wait. My email isn't dashoe93. Hopefully it's the most recent one. I can't remember if I changed certain jacks to trills or not depending on the most recent one. I'll have to take a look. Aaaand you're talking about the 32nds? I could change it around depending on other judgments. What exactly do you mean by min-burst?

And I added hands in Botines because Rebirth was like "add hands" so I did. Probably did it wrong but whatever. I don't know why I kept the holds, but I did. I could probably fix it if it's worth fixing.

EDIT: Also, James, I don't know if you saw the graphics I posted for your two songs you requested back in forever ago. :v

I object to this kind of review.
Firstly, there really is no detail on "lol that 32nd wall". The fact that said stepper added those in means that he/she to at least some degree found legitimacy in those steps. So as obvious as it may sound, briefly describe why said 32nds won't work.
And secondly, it's really unprofessional to call said song choice as "rubbish". This is better reinstated as a song that doesn't offer a lot of interesting steps due to repetitiveness, lack of 16ths, and so on. Keep your personal thoughts on the song aside, as it's the song's structure that should be a reason for rejection, not your personal opinion of the song (I hope not!).

It's like the same thing I've felt for years

Also sorry guys, after the Michigan trip I was moving into a new apartment at K-State and started the college semester today so I haven't cared to update this.

This month has been incredibly slow for submissions, but it could be from the lack of activity from us judges that gives this a slow vibe. At this point I see this pack taking another 6 months to complete. Which... doesn't really bother me. I'd prefer it to be done in 2 - 3, but with only 8 accepted files that doesn't seem to be happening.

It seems to me that you guys got an unupdated danger danger. I don't see how or why that happened since I rar'd it AFTER I did fixes before sending it in. I'll look over what's still there, and redo some spots. Idk about resending it though, since most aren't digging the song.

To be fair, I was rejecting it on the structure of the song and my qualms on Danger Danger was similar to the other judges so I really couldn't add on anything else so I inputted my own personal thoughts on it. Now, when I mean "lol that 32nd wall," I meant that the way it was patterned was to be honest aidsy at the length of it. If the file hadn't already been judged I would have given a much more in depth review on it. But I didn't reject the song on personal taste but more on the integrity of the song and how he handled the file.

I saw the gfx :V Anyhow, I play through the file on the sm editor and then do the technical view on ddream which is why I mixed up the names oops x:

Anyhow, mini-burst is simply a small roll-based pattern. Mainly at a length of 4 notes. But yeah, if you want I can mull over the file in how I would handle Botines to give you a general idea on how you could give off a much better visual appeal to the file while still being technically correct.

Most judges are very capable of putting out the logic to their reasoning, and I'm sure you had yours too which were completely sensible. I'm confident you can generally tell how much a song can offer for steps for instance. Regardless, it's how you present the review that matters. It's other people that are reading it, right?
