Biaxident (Kil)
Wow Kil, you really screwed up on this one. Not very interesting at all, just a

lot of 8th jumps and offsync notes. How could you mess up a good song like this so

much, yet make masterpieces out of songs that are crap. Anyways, boring for the

most part, not fun at all to play.
Song Choice - Very Good
Steps - Boring
Overall - 4/10
Final Impression - A pile of crap for the most part, managing to make a song I

that I like a torturous experience is a feat in itself.

Carmen's Prelude (Phenomega)
Song is terrible, who the hell makes dumb happy hardcore classical. The patterns

were really boring and overused. The part where they switched up randomly wasn't

right either. As long as this is one of your early files, you might have a chance

at being a pretty good sim maker. It didn't excite me, the song was garbage, the

patterns were boring. The only thing about it is that the patterns were placed

decently.
Song Choice - Awful
Steps - Unexciting, but not terrible.
Overall - 5/10
Final Impression - Work on your pattern making skills, because those patterns were

boring, and step real classical, not this stupid electronic classical.

Flashman (Bursurk Lurk)
Woo, first good song of the pack (alphabetically). And it sure is good, Bursurk

Lurk is getting a reputation for making really complex and good files. Plus his

syncing is top notch, since I have started syncing myself, I've realized while it

isn't impossible to do, it takes a lot of time and patience to get a piano song

synced well. This song is synced very well. The song itself is pretty cool, not

the best piano song OBVIOUSLY, but still a very cool number.
Song Choice - Good
Steps - Fun, complex.
Overall - 10/10
Final Impression - Bonus points for piano.

Holic (Plasmix)
Ehh. It was very middle of the road. I did not understand the minijacks in the

song, even if they were there, they didn't fit with the jumps in front of them

(I'm talking about the ones randomly throughout the song, not at the start). It

was a relatively simple file. Not much to say.
Song Choice - Decent
Steps - Ok
Overall - 6.5/10
Final Impression - Good enough for a second play, not good enough for a third.

Insect Digestion Melancholy (RaiRai)
No explanation is needed, but i'll give one anyways. Just about the most complex

file ever, and to an awesome song too. Not the full version, but it includes all

the best parts. Brilliant use of freezes, and everything. I have no complaints, it

is just about a perfect file. If one were to look at the notes without having the

song beside it, they would say it was random. But when one plays the file, they

realize, the notes fit perfectly. If anyone steps this file ever again, they are

repainting the Mona Lisa.
Song Choice - Excellent
Steps - Probably the best ever.
Overall - 10/10
Final Impression - Simply one of the finest files in existence.

Meridian Dance (Kil)
Better than Biaxident by a lot, not one of your best files, but still better than

most people's average files. The stream patterns were really good, but the file

didn't flow nearly aswell in the middle. Still, a very fun file, even if you've

made better and more fun ones.
Song Choice - Ok
Steps - Good patterns
Overall - 8.5/10
Final Impression - It was average for a Kil file, which is very good for just

about anyone else.

Milky Way Wishes Overworld (flamingspinach)
It was cute, I liked it until the ending which was kind of bs. It was fun for the

most part. The freezes were a nice touch, the trills fit well. There isn't too

much to say about a 1 minute file, but it was pretty good.
Song Choice - Cute
Steps - Cute
Overall - 7.5/10
Final Impression - -.5 for jumps at the end.

Mr12000 is a Lie
The file didn't feel fun, I didn't like it much at all. The steps overshadowed the

song I felt. They seemed too much for it to hold, they just didn't fit too well.

And it wasn't a matter of the song being bad either, the song was cool, the steps

were just lacking. Not fun, doubled bpm, just weird feeling overall. I didn't

enjoy it.
Song Choice - Good
Steps - Really weird
Overall - 5/10
Final Impression - I dunno where this one went wrong, luckily all your other files

are good.

Mr12000 is Sad Most of the Time
When playing this song, I am happy all of the time. 24th notes everywhere, freezes

coming at you from left and right, jumps galore, 32nds. HELL YES. This is the

meaning of technical with an overdose of fun thrown in on the side. This file is

phenominal.
Song - Amazing
Steps - Amazing
Overall - 9.5/10
Final Impression - Mind blowing.

Nice Nice Noise (Vospi)
It was decent, but it could be better. The song was amazing, and bonus point for

having made it. The one thing that annoyed me quite a bit, just a very small

thing, was starting triplets/trills/patterns/whatever on the 16th note instead of

the 4th or 8th note. It just annoys me for some reason, the flow wasn't amazing

either. But overall, decent I guess. I'm sure one of your other files will top

this.
Song - Cool
Steps - Not the nicest
Overall - 7/10
Final Impression - Patterns on a 16th note disrupt the flow, 4th or 8th note

started patterns just feel better.

Renaissance Oni (Melonman)
Very original and very well synced. When I heard the preview, I thought, oh no

this is going to go offsync badly and ruin the file. But I was happily wrong when

I realized it was impeccably synced! The 24th note runs were very fun, the rest of

it was interesting enough to keep me going for all 4+ minutes. I can honestly say

I was not bored for one second, very nice!
Song - Very original
Steps - Nice!
Overall - 9/10
Final Impression - Blew away my expectations.

Ripple Star (Kilgamayan)
Fun, fun, that is all this file is about. The 24th gallops ruled, the 24th jacks

ruled, everything about the file was geared to fun. The song was fun and happy,

the whole thing was cool, although Battle With Marx is still a bit cooler I think.
Song - Fun
Steps - Super fun
Overall - 9/10
Final Impression - The original "fun" file maker makes another fun file.

Sahti-Waari (PF)
It sounds like fairy metal so I didn't play it.

Sarah's Song (PF)
Boring, uninspired, offsync.
Song - Ploink ploink.
Steps - Offsync.
Overall - 0/10
Final Impression - I'm never going to play that again.

Sea Air (KgZ)
I did not finish playing the file therefore it merits a review. It was too bad to

finish. The song sounded like it was made by a 11 year old, the file felt like it

was made by a 12 year old (YES THE FILE WAS BETTER THAN THE SONG), and it is one

of the worst files I've played in a while. You actually thought you would win?
Song - Awful
Steps - Gay
Overall - 0/10
Final Impression - Was this file good? N

Sepia (cluelessmorgan)
It was very decent. The file wasn't anything special, but it was good and solid.

It was enjoyable for the most part but the steps didn't add any extra feeling to

the song. And for such an expressive song, you could have done more.
Song - Cool
Steps - Pretty Good
Overall - 7.5/10
Final Impression - Nice background.

Sonata Claro De Luna (Hayden)
About as good as Reach's, except without the weird offsync notes. I thought it was

enjoyable, far better than mm989's, like I said, I enjoyed it about the same

amount as Reach's. Some parts were better, some were worse. Very good overall.
Song - Beethoven is hardcore, therefore awesome.
Steps - Good
Overall - 8.5/10
Final Impression - Good, although it didn't need a restepping really. You should

have stepped a live version.

Swivel
I didn't like the song, and the steps were pretty boring overall. It didn't inspire me to say anything interesting.
Song - Annoying
Steps - Boring
Overall - 4/10
Final Impression - Step better music.

TetriMAX (KgZ)
Dumb.
Song - Dumb
Steps - Dumb
Overall - 0/10
Final Impression - Dumb

Tetris (Skipsmusic)
Very dumb.
Song - Very dumb.
Steps - Very dumb.
Overall - -42/10
Final Impression - Background changes!

That is Fair (Vospi)
Again, the patterns on yellow notes. But they fit better this time for some

reason, this file was very good. Really fun, jackhammers were nice. I don't have

much to say on such a short song, except that it was fun and good. You made up for

the other file.
Song - Interesting
Steps - Jackhammers! Yay!
Overall - 8/10
Final Impression - Those patterns on off notes just bug me.

TKM (Rebirth)
Song was really fruity and stupid, steps were really cool. I liked the minijacks

and stuff, the streams were fun too. A bit heavy on the 8th jumps. The minijacks

though, they were classic.
Song - Gay
Steps - Cool
Overall - 8/10
Final Impression - Yucky song.

Wild Horses (RaiRai)
This is a joke. As a joke, it is great, but the file itself is just so bad.
Song - Dangerously cheesy
Steps - Technically correct
Overall - 2/10
Final Impression - Scoring a joke file under the same scale as things like IDM is

just pointless.

Wizards in Winter Oni (Skauert)
Oh man, fun, I love it. The triples were perfect to add to the intensity, I could

just feel myself banging away harder than usual, the trademark of a crazy intense

Skauert file. Very fun, especially those triples in the stream. It wasn't the best

file technically or anything, but who gives a damn when its this fun.
Song - Out of season.
Steps - Fun and intense
Overall - 9/10
Final Impression - Make more files, I love it.

You Wanna Me (Vospi)
Wow, destined to be a classic. The song is awesome and chill. The steps were

illin, what a cool file. I really liked it, the steps fit perfectly and the song

was just what I was in the mood for. The nice 24th notes were something that is

always fun in a song, simply great, my favorite file of yours yet.
Song - Ill
Steps - Interesting
Overall - 10/10
Final Impression - I knew you'd have one shocker of a good file in this pack.

Re: Keys of Flames

Insect Digestion Melancholy is so good. I have yet to play anything in it but Rai's files, though. Still need to download it.

[Benny1]

Re: Keys of Flames

;/.
I honestly dont' like insect digestion melacholy that much, I men, sure he tepped it to a point where it is plaable, which is really tough with that song (I've tried) but I had no clue what he was tryign to put notes to half the time. And then the next time that part of the song repeated I thought cool maybe I'll understand better this time at this section, and then it turns out he did it completely different.
It drives me insane.

ps blurk definetly won

Re: Keys of Flames

Biaxident - Yeah whatever. I didn't actually play it but I watched my friend play it. Fairly cool song but not as good as Kil's VGM picks or TVFH. Alright steps. 6/10

Carmen's Prelude - Cool a generic classical remix. With super generic steps. 0/10

Flashman - Pointless to play unless it's on a CMod. 0/10

Holic (Bounce Connected) - Steps were boring; the original version of the song is infinitely better. 0/10

Insect Digestion Melancholy - Random pointless BPM changes and 24ths that go to nothing. 0/10

Meridian Dance - SoM + cool steps. 9/10

Milky Way Overworld - Really generic and easy but a cool Kirby song. Not totally horrible. 2.5/10

Mr12000 is a Lie - Awesome song, horrible steps with random BPM changes. 0/10

Mr12000 is Sad Most of the Time - Amazing song, somewhat playable steps. 3.5/10

Nice Nice Noise - Cool song, but the steps are retarded and full of random ****. 0/10

Renaissance - The song preview and banner made this too gay to even play. 0/10

Ripple Star - 24th awesomeness. Cool Kirby song. Somewhat difficult. 9/10

Sahti-Waari - Power metal. 0/10

Sarah's Song - Dunno. Seemed gay so I didn't play it. 0/10

Sea Air - The preview music made me have an aneurysm. 0/10

Re: Keys of Flames

You're just an ass Moogy, gtfo of my internets. The pack is very cool and got some really good stuff, there is no need for bashing. You could just say that this is your opinion and you are sharing it like everyone else but I really don't think you thought it was that bad. For example "Flashman - Pointless to play unless it's on a CMod. 0/10" is very much lol, just use a ****ing cmod then.

[Tunic]

Re: Keys of Flames

Oh come on, Moogy's post is dead on. And hilarious too.

[flamingspinach]

Re: Keys of Flames

Hey Moogy gave me 2.5/10 :< But he did give me 7th place... I'm movin' up in da world 8)

[NuclearShadow]

Re: Keys of Flames

wild horses is the best file in this pack

[Zaghurim]

Re: Keys of Flames

wtf there's like a million SD3 songs in this pack

i thought i was going to be cool by doing some of them but this turned me off :O

[Dynam0]

Re: Keys of Flames

I thought Hayden's file rocked and Blurk's was just done well (not AMAZING OMG)

I liked a lot of the songs though, pretty good stuff =)

edit: I liked Wizards in winter the best (though the song is repetitive and cheesy he second time u hear it)

[MarkT]

Re: Keys of Flames

I thought Flashman, Bixadent and Ripple Star were orgasmatastic =\
