Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

it's easier to make a functional easy chart than a functional hard chart but it's much more difficult to make a good easy chart than a good hard chart

stepman philosophy.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Ok, I know it's not easy to make a "fun easy chart", but are there any specific tips other than song choice? (I'm also not throwing random arrows like DDR pad files)

maybe I should be asking the people who play these files - what makes an easy file fun?


Also started judging stuff. Initial impressions =

Mainly music choice, but giving the file a good solid ground, not going too overboard. A good idea to step one would be to maybe step the skeleton first [taking this from cedolad] then put in some stuff that would just liven it up. Some eighth notes, maybe a few sixteenths, or if the song calls for it, twelfths. Personally, I think jumps add some good texture to easy files.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

if you step for thirdstyle then you have to make an easy and hard chart for everything (thirdstyle plug sup) (ffr's way of tieing charts to songs status: still broken) (when is multiple charts per song going to be institutionalized in ffr? inquiring minds wish 2 kno)

One thing I don't like about forced multi difficulties is that once the main chart is done the other charts will often be rushed for submission

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

When I step for Third Style I take a really long time for one song just because I want all difficulties to be more than copy paste and remove/add from the prior chart. I pretty much do most difficulties all by scratch. It's honestly monotonous which is why I can see why some people would want to rush things.

Sure there can be multiple difficulties on FFR, but I sure as hell don't want that to be a forced concept. And of course, some songs would warrant more than one difficulty more easily than other songs.

not with me. I do beginner first and hard last, and spend roughly the same amount of time on each one (well inevitably hard will have more time spent on it but only out of necessity)

if you rush beginner/easy/medium it's a character fault that you need to fix

edit: or you could find someone who prefers to do ez difficulties and split

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I really would like to know if the (implied) multiple difficulty rule is going to be changed too - there's a lot of songs that I would want to see a lower (or higher) level chart to, but the v2 rule seems to make that a lot more difficult than it should be.

Well there are a good amount of rock songs that have [Standard] [Heavy] etc. It'd be nice if it could be extended to other genres. There are also songs that say [Oni] [Heavy] etc. but they don't have a harder/easier chart to coincide with.

They don't have the coinciding difficulty because they were probably connected to widget songs that weren't on the game itself.

Yes, I would like to move this site to incorporating multiple difficulties for levels. It strikes me as absurd that we aren't leveraging each song to its full potential. I'll talk to jx about this and see if we can work something out.

What's the v2 rule? (And, should it be the individual judges or someone like jx/aperson who decide whether a song deserves another chart?)
