The "How did you step that?" Thread

[Vote4Nixon]

**If this is the wrong forum, or if it has been done before, then I apologize. Feel free to move/delete this thread.**

I thought it would be a good idea to have more discussion about simfile theory. Inspired by the awesome comment about Bloodmeat on dore's profile, I figured one way to do this would be to have people talk about what goes into making their files. Maybe if beginner stepfile authors saw what more experienced people do/don't do when making stepfiles, they would learn some things and grow to be a tru stepman.

So, let's begin the discussion! This is open to anyone and everyone wanting to discuss their files...even if it's just asking for help regarding their stepping techniques on a certain file. You can be as detailed or as concise as you want when discussing your file .

Also, you don't have to discuss a file in its entirety, rather you can just bring up certain things that you find interesting/creative. Finally, feel free to post requests for stepfile descriptions too, like "Hey dore, how did you step Bloodmeat?"

I'll start it off with something simple...

Description of The Cracking Sky

Overall Notes:
- This song is amazing IMO. Props to Tom Haid .
- I wanted the file to be a "trainer" file, meaning a file that would be good for noob FFRers to practice on, to learn certain patterns, etc.
- PR and consistency were important, but pattern variation was more important as fun > technical for the average FFRer. I will admit that I had a pretty bad sense of PR back then :-/.

Cool things about this file:
- There is a section for practicing trills, another for rolls, another for jumps, and even another for 8th streams (index-friendly patterns mainly).
- The "bell/chime" noise is always stepped as 1 2 3 4 throughout the file.
- In the trill section, whenever the trill pattern changes, only one of the two arrows changes (no real reason haha, just thought it was interesting and played well).

EDIT:
This is open to SM files as well . In fact, it would be really awesome to have those descriptions because you can simply link the file here and have people play it, then read your analysis.
