Tachyon 6/7/8/6.5 - 6.875
State of Confusion 8/8/6.5/5 - 6.875
Witchcraft - 7/6/7.5/7 = 6.875

straight 6.875's rofl

While I'm here I might as well make some comments on Tachyon and Witchcraft (State of Confusion was a lazy attempt at an easy file and I'm surprised not just one but two judges gave it an 8)

Dossar:

- Measures 44-52: You have an opportunity to have a rest section here or follow the background melody rather than step 16ths to the hi-hats and put jumps to the piano (it would be less bland).

I felt like it'd be more bland with less layering here, but I'll play around with it.

kjwkjw:

- m. 42 (beats 165.25, 166.75) - missing notes for piano.

I don't here anything missing at 165.25. 166.75, yes there's a sound I didn't step there but I wasn't actually stepping that part of the music. Now that I think of it though I think there's another way I could have stepped this whole part of the song.

MarioNintendo:

-50.336s Try variations from 45.118s

Will keep variation in the back of my mind when I restep this (again).

- A tachyon (pron.: /ˈtæki.ɒn/) or tachyonic particle is a hypothetical particle that always moves faster than light. The word comes from the Greek: ταχύς or tachys, meaning "swift, quick, fast, rapid", and was coined by Gerald Feinberg.

SCIENCE

woker-x:

Play Test: The first runningmen pattern doesn't fit at all. Good layering though.

FUN FACT: I originally didn't step that part as a runningman. I probably should have left it not-a-runningman too, the part of the song I was following isn't intense or even noticeable enough at that part.

21.966 - Should be jump.

I have no idea where you're hearing anything that should be a jump here. Jumps were going to the main synth here.

33.705 - Why did you ignore this??

Because I'm incredibly dumb and didn't notice I was missing something there. Nice catch, thanks!

45.118 - I don't like this section

50.336 - Again

Don't you make that face at me

No but seriously I do need to rework that whole section, I agree.

Dossar:

- The excessive hand usage in this file is a bit bothersome (especially when there are cymbal crashes like second 79.43 and 79.69 that are only stepped as jumps and also have the other instrument going on).

The stuff like at 79.43 and 79.69 wasn't stepped with as many hands so that the double-speed ending would feel more climactic. Do you think I should just convert all the hands in this section to jumps and then keep the hands in the speedup?

kjwkjw:

- m. 23~24 - some of the notes (the earlier ones in particular) are a bit off; you may have to use a more precise snap or do some slight BPM changes.

Oh yeah, this part. Originally I synced this part with a stop, and then before the batch opened the rules changed to not allow stops. I may have screwed up the sync here in the process since it was last-minute and I rushed it like a complete idiot.

As for the ending being off, that surprised me since I've playtested this quite a bit in SM and it never felt off, so I took another look at it. Turns out there's a few very subtle tempo changes that don't make the song quite an even 115 BPM. Not sure what that was all about but I made some adjustments so it should be a bit better.

MarioNintendo:

-A lot of jacks made me scratch my head a bit. I like a healthy challenge, but some of these tend to be exaggerated.

I can't say I really agree with this. But if there's any that you think are especially bad, which ones are they? I might be able to play around with them and see if I can come up with anything better.

Aside from that... it's witchcraft! get naked!

The last time I got naked, three people died. Not a good idea.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

I want a re-judge of two of my files, because I got completely screwed over by Kommi, and his notes were absolute garbage.

If possible I'd like a rejudge of my Rain file because the 3 I got was this

I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for a really cool breakdown because this file is basically a 2 minute long buildup. It never happened. File kept dragging on and on. 3/10

Other judges gave suggestions on how I could change up the file a bit and even admitted it dragged on somewhat, but taking off four more points for saying basically the same thing without suggestions was a bit of a let down.

On another note: I'm not sure how the "rejudging" process works because people like Halogen definitely got screwed over lol.

@gameboy42690 if you're looking for a climactic buildup it would definitely be better to limit your layering in the earlier parts of the song.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

yo lets colalb on data drain that shit could be a nightmare

It's not something that usually happens but can be done on a case-by-case basis if warranted. Just let me know and I'll look into it.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

hey choofers, what's up with your review of -slapstick- by the way?

oh thanks for mentioning this, it was supposed to be a 7.5. after my notes I went back and normalized judgements but I guess I missed this one.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

Corrected. -Slapstick- is now a 7.5/10 from Choofers.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

I definitely would like both of my files looked at again, because the polarity in ratings is ridiculous and the reasoning behind them is just as bad.

I'll give you an 8/10 if you collab on swindon with me (vsnares track from calvacade if you don't know)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

I'll give you an 8/10 if you convert love tamago to solo

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

Disappointed that Day's End got rejected so harshly, considering the lowest rating it got last time was a 6 and I pretty much changed nothing. I wish PR wasn't so important but w/e I guess I'll have to make a compromise between what I want and PR.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Batch #1 complete)

maybe it got rejected BECAUSE you changed nothing

have you ever thought about that smart one
