Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

IMO, those aren't jacks (guitar simulation, unless you're ver punk). It really depends on your definition of PR.

If you want the chart to simulate sheet music and you don't care what the instrument is, whatever, put jacks.

If you want it to simulate 'playing an instrument' (as if it were close at all) then turn the jacks into trills, unless it's vocals or piano or something honestly 'one handed'.

It really just ends up depending on what you're going for. As long as it's all self-consistent, it would be hard to argue that one is really better than the other in objective terms.

The metaphor I usually jump to is painting - simfile and different brushes - layering and PR techniques.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

one thing we need to keep in mind is the definition of pitch relevancy

pitch relevancy can be super technical or it can be more expressive. because you only have 4 arrows we know absolute pitch relevancy is difficult to do without feeling weird, so sometimes cutting corners is actually better. it all depends on how you do it

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

IMO, pitch relevancy shouldn't be thought of in absolute terms in accordance to the four arrows alone - that's too restrictive.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Pitch relevance should be as good as it possibly be, IMO. Simfiles follow the song and, well, "simulate" the song in a way. Just having technical accuracy isn't enough to me, and what I call more to be "musical accuracy" should be present (pitch relevance, layering, fitting patterns, climax theory, etc), as well.

ahaha this is exactly the problem

it should be good as in the way the step artist wants it expressed. of course, it has to make sense, but it doesn't have to be as accurate as possible

unless you meant "good" in a different way

Freedom Dive is 222bpm npv ya bad.

And hey I worked on mine a long time too, you can see it being played on youtube by aciiiiiii =O

PS I don't care if a file is pitch relevant so long as its fun FFR/SM/DDR/(X Music Game) are games not art forms bye.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

fun > anything else. it's just that none of us have the same definition of fun.

SM note skin of boobs instead of arrows.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

yeah but there's different ways to achieve this "fun" factor. there's a reason why certain things are fun. the hard part is figuring out why and fitting it into a file to cater to the most people possible

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

The song will make it fun.

It's made by Funtastic Power!

Wait we have Funtastic Power! permission? I was JUST about to send him an email rofl.


Okay then, stepping 300 This is Sparta Extended Remix

Freedom Dive is 222bpm npv ya bad.

It's actually 222.22bpm. My cut of the song is 2:22 long and my file has 2222 arrows.

22 is my favorite number, so this file must be pure win.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

hi19, with overkill on the 2s.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Lmao, I didn't feel like including the 222.22, i figured 222 was good enough

I think my file has 2191 notes, so GJ on getting to the 2222 mark, lmao

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

My file has no hands but more jumpstream. I stepped every note of the melody in the JS. Plus I stepped the 32nds and 16ths to the percussions in the back for the non JS portion, you stepped just the rhythm. So it evened out. I think there's one kinda lame part I want to cut from my file and that would bring it below 2222, but it'd make it a lot more fun.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I gotcha, yours is probably harder than mine then if you stepped the percussion in those parts, I refrained from stepping that stuff cause I didn't want the file to be TOO dumpy.
