Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Yeah, I've discussed with jx that one of the main point of appeals is to solve this circular issue, especially if a song is rejected many times based on contradictory opinions. After you feel your file has been juggling around without much progression, despite its merits, you can surely ask jx/myself to look at it. Ultimately, a decision has to be made.

I also doubt that all judges actually referred back to the previous notes - although they aren't obligated to do so, it's really in everyone's best interests. If you look at Silvuh's notes on the resubmitted files for instance, you can clearly see that he's looked over the past notes and made an attempt to compare.

I appreciate all the help on this, especially since it's my first file I'm really trying hard to get in game. I'm sure others [including Dossar] are glad for the help too :]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Random thing I've noticed: people are submitting files that are already available to the public elsewhere. In the future (i.e. subsequent batches after this one), please submit files that you haven't submitted elsewhere such as a simfile database or one of those custom FFR engines...

Good point, we shouldn't be releasing files that a lot of people might already have played, because then fewer people will be interested and want to play them on FFR itself.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

updated queue list and SAP.

still waiting for judge's votes for borderline files (I'll vote later).

EDIT:
Oh, one more thing: because I don't have the two seconds of silence in my file, does that mean that I have to resubmit it in the following batch? Or can I add the two seconds and then just hand it to JX/bmah -- the only changes I made in the file were changing the 5 note bursts of drums to three notes/two notes (respectively), and of course the addition of 2 seconds of silence.

Must've missed this. Just resend it to us; it won't be reviewed again.

In case you missed it:

Famicom Selecta: I already judged this
Mysterious Desert: see above

Gotta Catch 'em All: yes with small fixes (some guitar not stepped accurately, mostly in 1st half of song; also, if you could somehow deviate from jumpstream and introduce it later via climax theory, that'd be nice too, but I don't mind it as is)
Scavenger: no (PR is terribad - and this is a piano file too, so PR stands out a whole lot more)
Metro: This one's hard to say. This song caters to people who are able to enjoy files of this difficulty, yet it's a legit stepchart. It's like I want to say yes w/fix and no at the same time. I won't give an official opinion on this one. (PASS)

Holy crap, yes it's in.
A.) Thank you to Jeff who helped me out immensely with this.
B.) I'm shocked at 3 +'s. Even more so than the fact that it's + + ? + .

Ive asked people why they do this and they do it because"in case I don't make it in ffr it'll make it here" I've told them to stop but I'm not one to talk

Not sure if there was a certain misunderstanding with the resubmission but this doesn't look right. Judges said the patterns were fine, then "bad patterns" came up again. It's contradictory and doesn't make sense.

When i mention patterns need fixes, it's pretty apparent i mean patterns need fixes. Having a burst that's, say, 143123132 is going to be absolutely awful to hit. something that flows a little more or is much easier to read such as 13241324 or 12341234 of course. also a hint: indexable patterns at high speeds are much easier to hit, save for long one handed trills.

potter: look up mixmeister. it's always off by .02 but for static bpm it does the trick most of the time.

Famicom Selecta (D) - pass
Gotta Catch 'em All (SKG_Scintill) - file isn't bad at all, but my judgment still stands. needs more work.
Scavenger (Plan_Bsk81127) - nope read my notes <3
Metro (DossarLX ODI) - my main issue as explained is pattern usage. at a high speed like that with bursts you need something that isn't as aids to read. if anything i'd add this to the conditional cue since it's still a decent file.

Oops! This mistake won't be made again. Sorry, bmah. Hope it stands as a pardonable offence for the moment!

EDIT: I just realized I can now send 4 files. If I send some files in another email, would that be okay with you?

Try out DDReamstudio (if mixmeister doesns't do the job)! You'll find it easily thanks to Google. It's a powerful tool for BPM variations.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

I would like to appeal my [4,4,4,3] Duck Hunt (15/20)

It is technically well layered, and I believe, for the song it is, the funnest it could be.

It follows vocals in the first half/ hihats & drums in the latter.

And it received a 3 from the judge that recieved a quad [-] on his file. (credibility issues)
