Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

A quick question, are v2s being considered for the Official?
I know there's historical precedent (Epidermis) but I want to make sure.

If so, I have some cool submissions I might send in.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

I don't have anything against V2s

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

So I just did a massive update which is described below, and I'm preparing an email for the GM Team to be able to update the Batch Search Engine.

As of 10/31/2015 4:51 PM EST The Batch Search Engine has been updated with the following:

Also, the Batch Search Engine link will be changing within the next couple of days. I will update when this happens.

I also wanted to give a shoutout to KillerScythe0, YoshL, and AragakiAyase on the Web Development Team for helping in with the development of the Accepted/Conditional Queue files page, as it makes the [Pending] labeling process much easier (meaning that a file's fixes need to be looked over).

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

So any thoughts on when this might be close? I'll probably have more time over thanksgiving break

It's really just honestly a matter of how fast we fill the slots. I ended up a little behind because everyone's been really sick in the house but I'm going to look at more files tonight.

I'm also going through submissions in previous batches that haven't been judged yet and will move them over if they seem fitting for the tournament, so that will close off some of the slots.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Are there reviews out yet?

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Wednesday evening I'll have some up

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

I wanted to apologize to you guys for the delay. I took on a seasonal job that I was expecting to only have a few days a week because that's how it was last year. Well apparently they decided to open up without having enough staff (there's only myself and one other dude) so I've literally been working every day since the place has opened. They hired on two new people so this is going to be changing very soon and I may actually even be leaving this job.

Anyway, I got bumped off the schedule for this Saturday (although I suspect they're going to try to call me in but I'm refusing if they do) so Saturday is going to be my catch up day on this batch. I'm really really sorry it's taken so long guys.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Put up 5 notes on the OP so far. AJ is acting as the lead and I'm just adding things on that I may notice or my opinions (so there may not be much from me).

Will be adding more for a bit this evening.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Agreed with the notes about the sync of Every Chance. It was actually a choice I made.
A previous version had more correct sync, but it was... like... fuck hard (~230 bpm polyrhythm stuff, rainbows sometimes in 192nds).
I decided to make a version where I quantized the rhythms to a more fluid degree.
As for the spike... ooooops? :3

- 33.288/44.074/(etc): repeated jumps for snares are reasonable accents, though they are -technically -incorrect because there are three snare hits; regardless of whether or not you are automatically designating snares to jumps or layering in that funky synth, the most correct (not necessarily the best feeling, though) pattern would have a jump to it... however, structurally, this feels nice regardless (note, there are some instances where the synth actually doesn't play on the 16th and your current layering scheme is ok)

Yeah, I really didn't want any 3-note jumpjacks. That's why I only put jumps on the second two snare hits and left the first out. I'm leaving it the way it is for now.

Not sure how I missed that note at 55.366, but I'm added it in just now. 55.535... I really don't hear any notes there. :/

Anyways I just finished up making edits to both Funny Function and Seedy Try. Should I send the fixes to [email protected] or [email protected]? (Not sure how you want to handle fixes since things are being handled different from normal as it is.)
