Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

GGC was just supposed to be hard as balls so the jacks weren't a problem

Coat was back when we weren't as picky

also I like how you guys yell at Tass for everything when sometimes it's not even him but me who's rejecting the stuff lol

ps hi19 just sends in huge numbers of files, probably more than half went through revisions because they were rejected at first, there really aren't double standards at all rofl

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Well, if Hi19 sends in that many files, then I'm ok with it.

But it still is a lot.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

at least tell me what you mean by the first, second, third, and fourth sets of jacks. I'd rather not make some things gallops because it just fits the music better as a double tap, and is AAAable either way. Other things I could change.

At least you admit it.

Still, as I said, keep an open mind to different simfiles; try not to be biased on some arrow patterns that are "too exotic" for your tastes (but it still should be doable).

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

My only problem with the current level admins (note: plural) is that it's getting a bit too strict. I really like some files such as coat czech and etude to a dragon and even (gasp) crowdpleaser and EHHS, all back from that era when "we weren't as strict"

It's getting to the point where it's hard to make an original file, as everything is either "doesn't flow", "omg jacks", or "overstepped".

It'd be really cool if you guys could be a bit more open minded. Sure they may be harder to AAA with 130 bpm jacks, but what if the file is fun? It's starting to seem almost as if you are rejecting files just becuase of the probablity that they'll make your levelrank go down becuase you can't AAA them or score well.

NEWSFLASH: Some people like hard stuff! Some people like jacks! Some people like trills and running men, especially when they are put in the correct ****ing places and lead to a FUN file.


Also, I'm still kind of annoyed over BrightOne needing to be revised. That's my #1 example of you two being just way too ****ing picky.

EDIT- also, yes I've stepped a lot of songs. If you have a problem with that, step them better yourself. I don't have a problem with people trying to outdo me, but I do have a problem with whiney little ****s.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

I agree 100% with what hi19 said.

I really do enjoy hard stuff. I hate it when files are just technical index stream. For example, I really like ggc and ehhs etc

Yeah, sorry, no. You certainly don't represent the majority when you say that you like EHHS, Crowd, etc. The reaction in general to those files was VERY negative, and we aim to please the masses, not the odd people who like FFR jacks or massively overstepped files.

It's getting to the point where it's hard to make an original file, as everything is either "doesn't flow", "omg jacks", or "overstepped".

You mean a "hard" file, not an "original" file. And yes, it's hard to make a file that's both good and hard. Find music that merits a hard file (like Rottel, for instance), and you can make a good hard file. Try to throw random extra jumps in on every 4th beat in a stream (like EHHS) just to make it harder and it usually comes out bad.

It'd be really cool if you guys could be a bit more open minded. Sure they may be harder to AAA with 130 bpm jacks, but what if the file is fun?

If the file is well-done, we don't have problem with jacks that fit with the melody. Honestly, a TON of people hate jack syndrome to the point where they refuse to play FFR files that have jacks in them (or whine nonstop about it, like Baha)...it's a pretty tiny minority that actually finds jack-infested stuff fun.

It's starting to seem almost as if you are rejecting files just becuase of the probablity that they'll make your levelrank go down becuase you can't AAA them or score well.

I regularly reject files that I SDP sightread in SM. That hasn't got anything whatsoever to do with it.

NEWSFLASH: Some people like hard stuff! Some people like jacks! Some people like trills and running men, especially when they are put in the correct ****ing places and lead to a FUN file.

See the above about hard stuff/jacks. As for the rest, BB Revenge has them all and we accepted it without question. It's just that we VERY rarely get files that properly use patterns like that, and FAR more often they're just randomly thrown into streams for no particular reason.

Also, I'm still kind of annoyed over BrightOne needing to be revised. That's my #1 example of you two being just way too ****ing picky.

no comment, except that it wasn't me.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

I'm assuming this is the offending part in question... but I don't really know what tass means by "first" through "fourth" sets, since there are little double taps scattered throughout the file.

Are those really considered jacks?

Patterns like 4244.. don't look good for me either unless they go with the music well(I don't know much about the music).
some of those will be 4 frame jacks, which are somewhat jacky on ffr.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Talisman's main point was that the song was only 106BPM. 16th anything at that slow of a BPM shouldn't be a problem. Right?

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Damn, oh well. I must have a REALLY whack sense of stream, cause most of the time I find the streams in the new files horrible. I hate index friendly stream in general, it doesn't have very good flow IMO.

I'm pretty sure you're trying to step the original MP3. It is hella offsync and it's messing you up. Maybe go get arch/ren's version or the o2jam version. </oldness>

the highlighted part I've posted above starts at :46 (it's the bassline solo) and ends at "hey! hey!" (at the end of measure 32). EDIT: actually just kidding it's the second of the two measures after the first "hey! hey!"... not like it matters, they're identical.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

People complain to Tass because normally, he's the one posting about it.

I can't enter this conversation right now because I'm at school, but I honestly think you and Tass don't know what you're doing. Judging stuff this strictly is so very stupid, rejecting files for ONE thing.

Tass has probably never made a simfile in his life, so he can only judge by how fun the file is to him, and Shash, I don't know. You've made sims, so you have SOME experience. Neither of you are really qualified to make the decisions you're making.

I like where this is going.
