.357 Magnum

What is it about Xi songs that encourage full technical mode? Stop stepping them like this guys, holy shit, I want a fun Xi song for once. Props for technicality, props taken away for being a typical Xi chart. 7 / 10 due to being forced because it's an alright chart just dull as shit.

You just don't ever learn, do you.

.357 Magnum - whoa where did this come from MN lmao. could have had a better structure to it because stuff starts to run into each other but this was still well done 7/10

Epilogue - could have definitely been better if you spent more time with the PR, but you're improving dude keep at it 6/10

It's Too Loud - old school file, at least its not as long as stuff like driveway 6/10

Nix-Tek - straight forward file with great emphasis on particular instruments (send in arsonist you tard) 9/10

Pinkie's Castle - pretty much just a technical and generic 8th note file, nothing too surprising 5/10

bias galore lmao

If I send Arsonist everyone who plays FFR will hate me forever


how 2 AAA 64th swing at 190bpm

Stream 16th notes because FFR's timing window is the size of Asia.

(dammit Carlos said it first, lol.)

------------------------------------

.357 Magnum: oh my god, this file is GOLD. Absolutely amazing -- everything feels perfect pattern-wise and the chart is visually pleasing with appropriate pattern repetition for repeating arpeggios/trilling and the repeating 8th note taps for the hi-hat repeats are just gorgeous. Everything just fits so goddamn well and I love it. A few missing cymbal crashes are noticeable but it's FAR from enough to detract my appeal. A++++ in my book.

Epilogue: Fun. The reverse PR trips me out a bit. Otherwise, there's nothing too overbearingly difficult. Not quite as smooth as I would like for an intense piano solo like this, but it's certainly not bad at all.

Nix-Tek: I don't have much to say about it, really. The jack section around 900ish combo was a nice touch, but other than that, it's really not my cup of tea. File is stepped very well, though (can't really expect different from Kommisar).

It's Too Loud: Nothing wrong with it. File is stepped accurately, but certainly not something I can see myself playing again, unfortunately.

Pinkie's Castle: Very well done and certainly enjoyable to me. I like the attention to detail within the patterning in comparison to the melodies of the song, and the chart flows pretty smoothly too.

Re: Songs of the Week (Jun 16, 2012)

.357 Magnum was realllly great. I didn't find the 4343232121 trill/roll thing to be fitting during the middle otherwise, everything was coherent, clean and fun. I'd like to see more files like this. :3 9/10

Epilogue had potential to be a REALLY good file, but I'll admit, the PR was atrocious and didn't seem to follow the song that well. Layering was ok, although I found the hands to be a bit overkill for just simple piano chords. Overall, this was fun and it flowed well, but the lack of technicality makes it fall flat. 6/10


will review rest l8r

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the kind words about .357 magnum. Means a lot to me, seriously. I would've never expected that kind of feedback, it's amazing to see.

oh and Epilogue actually rocks!!

.357 Magnum
Kinda fun but the patterns feel too forced and awkward at some points. technically nothing wrong with it but not really my cup of tea. Have to have control for the patterns because there are a lot of (sometimes hidden) 8th jacks which is something I'm not a fan of cause that doesn't flow well imo.

Epilogue
Not bad, definitely an improvement on your other files but has some seriously awkward patterns and PR doesn't make sense at parts. On song choice, I feel that this song is like one of those badly made guitar hero songs to make for a difficult chart cause the good songs don't make for hard enough files for the pros anymore. The song itself feels inconsistent and the melody all over the place. Not that this is hard but it's the same idea.

It's Too Loud
I normally don't play easy files cause I find most of them boring but for an easy files this was pretty fun. Won't be playing it again though cause easy and AAA'd.

Nix-Tek [Veteran's Song]
Flows well and is really fun. Jacks make for a nice challenge. No complaints
