Try the "Sonic Firestorm" challenge today

**TheRapingDragon** · 12-4-2006, 02:57 PM

I was bored last night and was talking to Tibs. He sent me some game song which was awesome, and afterwards dragonforce came on (next in line on my itunes), I got an idea, why don't I play all of sonic firestorm on stepmania, in order.

Sounded like a fun and difficult challenge, I had to do each song manually because if I did it in endless mode then the songs were picked at random. Wasn't really that difficult apart from having to warm up with MSWGO (I didn't warm up beforehand, I just went straight into it with cold hands haha). I haven't lost any stamina after it at all (I finished about 5 minutes ago). Got bored too, but still, was different.

The songs, ready to be played:

The songs, in order played:

~ 30,363 total steps (Might have missed some freezes)

~ 62 minutes (as per album length)

~ 8.16 key presses per second, every second, for 62 minutes.

Was wondering about a couple of things:

1 - Anyone else going to try this?

2 - Was this any good, impressive, or just plain boring?

3 - Anyone else have any other ideas that I could try? I'd be up for most things so long as they didn't last too long (say, no more than 90 minutes).

You could have made your own course so tht they all play one right after another. Either way, nice scores, i probably would have failed about half way through Fields of Dispair

The no name DF sims are pointless to play

**TheRapingDragon** · 12-4-2006, 03:07 PM

No name? What?

All of those were ok to play apart from Zagh's gaytastic CotB. Not like I could leave songs out when I was going for the entire album in one go.

I mean like Prepare for War, or Dawn Over A New World, the ones no one plays.

You missed the best DF sim ever made, Kang's Disciples of Babylon.

EDIT: oh nvm, I see you were doing a specific album. That's still the best DF sim ever, anyway.

you must make a pack

Yes, the title is called "The Sonic Firestorm challenge", thought it was obvious.

I did the entire album start to finish.

I would try inhuman rampage but that album is nowhere near as good, so I want other challenges instead. Like doing an entire album or a series of songs or something.

EDIT: A2P, that directed at me? Because you can get everything from Dog_E's gay dragonforce pack in the simulator section, that's where I got half of these before playing, because half of those were sightreads (MSWGO, FOTS, COTB where the only non-sightreads).
