Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

More people would become good stepfile authors if they were willing to put the time and practice in that it requires to be good. Most beginners seem to think that they will make good files right off the bat and don't realize that it takes hours upon hours of work to start making good files.

Been working on it for about half a year now, can't seem to get any just right however people have said I'm almost there with some of my files. Is there anyway someone could send me a few in game well stepped songs for personal use? Like a few songs that are about very challenging difficulty, and overall perfectly stepped? I would love to study them to help me improve.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Gonna send in my finished chart for Midnight Shooter by S.S.H. tonight (hopefully the veteran's don't think I ruined it D: ). I cut it down to about 4:30 (from the 6:00 that it actually is), but I think I'll take a final look at it before I finalize and send it.

@ Guru: Seriously, if you can't get a file in, you aren't trying hard enough. I sent in two files that weren't great, listened to the judges, and then decided that I was going to spend a HELL of a lot more time on my newer one. It paid off big time. If you plan on getting a file in, don't rush it, and don't get upset if it doesn't get in. Take the judge's advice to heart, and you could get something in easily. Blu, JX, and Tass take the sims really seriously.

Your telling me something I already know, in fact, everybody does. What I'm saying is it doesn't take a month just to get a reply from one of the judges, which I never got. I'm not asking for special treatment or anything but if you get a comment on your stepfiles, at least I should too. It's only fair right?

But Im trying so hard not to make this a big deal so please try to understand where I'm coming from.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I remember I used to be in you're position. Probably why Im not stepping as much as I used to.

Just to give you an example of progression. I have submitted my drop file to FFR for about 7-9 months now and all have been rejected. Only recently, the last 2 months have the judges decently like what I have done with the file and gave me suggestions a decent amount of suggestions for me to improve my files. By the way, Jim would only accept the file if it was near perfect. So if Jim said it was decent now, Im guessing Im doing something right. Also this might help. Im only working on 1 file at a time for FFR. Although it might be stupid but I have found world of warcraft again and Im in collage now which kind of explains the lack of working files. Thats called progression my friend. Oh and by the way, Ive been stepping for about 3 years now...

It sux that the judges take a month just to comment on you're file, but under the circumstances, you just got to deal with it and hope you're file is good enough. Thats the whole process of the FFR process.

PS: Give the judges some credit. They are doing a good job at this. Can't go to hard on them.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Tass, can I re-send the two easy files into this batch that weren't accepted for the easy event back when?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Don't forget to create steps of your own style as well, if you look at other successful simfiles for reference.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I sent in TMwT... Are you judging that this batch or separately later?

[GG_Guru]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Alright.

Now we move on to the actual testing of the file. Tear that b**** up!

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I'm excited that this batch had such a short submission period - it means fewer files got submitted than the last batch, and we'll get our batch notes quicker. I can't wait to see whether my files got accepted or not - I put quite a bit of work into them.
