      Re: StepCon 2022

      The Second Stepping Period has Begun!

      During this time, all participants will have received a Direct Message from me containing the Final StepOff song, and their Pre-built .sm File to begin Charting.

      All participants will have until the end of Thursday, May 5th 11:59PM SERVER TIME to complete their submissions and submit it to the StepCon 2022 Batch located here.

      There will be no trading of songs during Final StepOff, as everyone has the same song.

      Class Exam: KURORAK - PYROMANIA
      M0nkeyz
      Psychotik
      Gradiant
      DarkZtar
      trumaestro

      Lots of ways to approach this, AND engage with a player audience on this song. All under a traditional, flawless converted 225bpm speed. How will you tackle it? Your fellow Classmates? It all comes down to this Final StepOff.
      3 participants will be walking away with a profile badge (plus a hefty bonus of credits), and the winner will also have this song released to FFR.

      Best of luck to the Finalists! To other participants, I will be sending out 2nd & 3rd place prizes, and participation prizes in a bit. The Second Judging Period will begin on May 6th.

        Re: StepCon 2022

        I have finished paying out credits for Round 1 participation and 3rd/2nd/1st place credit prizes. If you think there's an error, either DM me on FFR or on Discord (Goldstinger#8592) and can get it sorted out.

        Of course, in terms of even token unlocks:

        1st place gets 3 event token unlocks, 1 of which can be either 'STRANGEPROGRAM v0', or 'Vertex BETA vROFL' if so chosen.

        2nd place gets 2 event token unlocks.

        3rd place gets 1 event token unlock.


        You may ask for your token unlock here in-thread, or DM me on FFR / DM me on Discord to receive your Event Tokens. You may gift away event token unlocks if you so choose, but gifted tokens cannot unlock 'STRANGEPROGRAM v0' or 'Vertex BETA vROFL'.

                              bubbles:

                              I felt number 3 was the most solid and most fun to play overall, but the rest were also enjoyable experiences. I ended up voting for 1 and 3 with my favorite being 3, it being made by psychotik was no surprise and I had a suspicion ELite Ninja made #1 even though I haven't seen much of their charts. I think I suspected 4 being jacob because of the foundation of the chart being pretty good, but the chart suffering from some beginner mistakes.


                              if you can't hang:

                              I guessed 8 was made by jh, but that's about the only one I guessed correctly. I thought #1 was pizza, the anchors and the way it was structured reminded me of a mix between ''Son of Robot'' and ''Mariana's Trench''.
                              I suspect #4 was made by ToonE and #6 was made by mi40, I think #7 was made by wayward vagabond. #5 being pizza surprised me, the chart was obviously good (I voted for 1, 8 and 5), but it didn't stand out to me the way his chart of Swamp Thing did back in stepcon 2020. I have no idea who made #2 and #3


                              Passing you by:

                              To me #4 just stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Most of the charts were pretty nice to play, but man #4 is one of the best charts I've ever seen.
                              I think nearly all of them were perfectly acceptable files. My initial guess for #4 was woker-x because I remember playing his charts back in the day and really enjoying them. It's no surprise to me that trumaestro stepped this, he is a master of intensity and contextual layering.
                              I think #1 is made by a person that's pretty new to stepping. I have no idea tbh.
                              I think #3 is made by T-Force and #6 is made by Oppie.
                              I ended up only voting for #4.

                              Koneko's Cafe:

                              #1 winning is not really a surprise. The chart was solid, my only complaint really were the rolls feeling same-y. I immediately suspected #5 to be WirryWoo, because of the bpm gimmicks and the way the patterns were structured. #3 being storn surprised me, I had him as #4, he tends to simplify patterns when he charts.

                              I think #2 is Kaho(he didn't seem too invested in the results and the event in general, but he seems like a person who would submit something at least), I thought #4 was storn and #3 was Velocity(he tends to chart a bit like this), by process of elimination I think alloyus is #6, I saw him lurking in the thread alot and I think he submitted something. (This is not based on the way the chart was structured, but moreso a guess based on his activity by lurking in the thread)
                              I ended up voting for #1 and #5


                              I'm the Boss:

                              I hated this song, but I felt that part of Stepcon is stepping out of your comfort zone. Regardless I think my chart turned out pretty good. I'm not happy with the ending tho.
                              #1: I felt this was a pretty lazy and safe approach to the song, solely focusing on the vocals is the most straightforward thing to do since it's the most interesting element of the song, but I feel you could've incorporated the other elements. I had no idea who stepped this.
                              #2: My chart, I was happy with the syncopated layering of the background instruments in the first half of the chart, I felt the cut I made at the start was unnoticeable(but I guess I was wrong), I cut 2 instances of the refrain and 1 verse out of the middle, but I had no way to end the chart in a satisfying way. Right after where I ended the song there was a lot of white noise which made it impossible to end on, and then the overall intensity of the song goes up by a ton and doesn't stop for like 1.5 min, which made cutting in between a nightmare. I feel I made the best possible cut I could've made, but I probably still have to improve in that regard.
                              #3: In my opinion the second best chart, my guess was matthia, I thought it played fantastic even though it was overlayered. This did need a cut tho.
                              #4: I thought this was ositz, he tends to do trilly stuff(Might just be a byproduct of stepping breakcore). Honestly with the info I have now I'm pretty sure this is Mipha.
                              #5: Pretty decent chart, but the cuts in this were extremely jarring in my opinion(iirc). My guess was that Mipha made this, the chart is solid and obviously made by someone with a bit of experience.
                              #6: Charsiaha bombards us with ''patterns'' and ''charts'' in discord so I could infer some info from that, I feel this is a bit of an incomplete and underlayered approach to the chart that doesn't really work due to its length.

                                Grats to all the involved, interesting to see the results and who stepped what. For what it's worth my votes were:

                                I'm The Boss (A): 5
                                BUBBLES (B): 1
                                Koneko's Cafe (C): 1, 3 and 4
                                If You Can't Hang (D): 1 and 5
                                Passing You By (E): 2
