Re: Dump Batch Discussion Thread

Disagree.

is there any good argument that's not connected to artistic expression or something along those silly lines
maybe like 4-5 years ago I'd agree but until fiffer introduces any charting mechanics that arent just dry notes then this is kinda the only direction to go in as far as mechanical difficulty and end game song selection goes
I love me some blepity blops and I will keep making charts for those. not a lot of anime folk wanna hear blep blips
midare ahead of his time as fuck

Re: Dump Batch Discussion Thread

I will have to agree with choof here

I haven't seen any argument against this that doesn't sound like the person making the argument is stuck in 2011 or 2016 styled bursty VS breakcore charting. I love high bpm stuff as much as the next guy (I don't like bursts that much lmao) but it would be really nice to see something like Doja Cat being in the 80+ range of difficulty

I might make a video about my thoughts to this later idk

2016 styled VS breakcore charting

1st instance of modern VS stepping is from Choof's My Half (released at 2012), so I think we're still stuck in 2012 styled VS breakcore charting.

Re: Dump Batch Discussion Thread

you see if you were to go one to one with another stepper you'd have a 50% chance of winning, but i'm a breakcore enjoyer and i'm not normal, so you have a 75% chance at worst at beat me. and then if you add gold stinger into the mix, your chances of winning drastic go up

Re: Dump Batch Discussion Thread

Dump Batch submissions are still open for another month! There's still time to polish and submit your files.

If you miss the deadline, no worries! You can still submit dumps to the regular batch.

Re: Dump Batch Discussion Thread

what the fuck, please don’t allow dumps in-game.

if you’re going to put dumps in, make a specific dump-only section where everything is rated 0 difficulty, or atleast don’t make it go towards skill rating. they should be completely distinct from the main part of the game, or not allowed at all. we have ffrmania for random sm files, there could be an ffr dump-file engine separate from the main engine.

Why shouldn't they be allowed in game? They're a valid form of charting and allows more options for higher difficulty songs (when we need more d8-9 content this is important). Just because we're going to start accepting dumps (and tbh we've been heading this way for a while) doesn't mean we're going to start putting bad files into the game. In all honesty, it'll probably be more scrutinized than regular files. To quote the op "dumping is a style of charting, not an excuse to make poor files!"

I'm not a huge fan of dump files myself, but i still agree they deserve to be put in game, especially when done well.
