Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

Sync seems fine to me...

Just install Windows 7 or XP or something. :\

And I know the PR makes perfect sense, it's just harder to appreciate because it's more fun to play files that flow really well, at least for most... maybe...

OMW v2 is perfectly synced, either your computers not working, or your smoking so much pot that your nerve receptors are slowing down. I'm shocked at how JX was able to sync it that well, the speed changes and different notes are really, really well placed

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

For files like these having awkward patterns (aka too much PR) is ok, since piano players don't think chopin's music is bad because of its requirement of awkward finger/hand movement.

i still disagree w/ this.

playing piano is like mega different then stepmania.

stepmania is meant to be fun, so awk. patterns are bad.
piano playing is meant to evoke the music or w/e in any way, so if awkward hand patterns get in the way, oh well.
if you say a stepfile of piano should evoke playing piano in any way, i disagree.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

That's just more of the same "stepfiles are supposed to be reflections of the music and not the playing of instruments" argument, just a counterpoint.

Both can be a fun challenge.

Sometimes people just really like the PR and layering to be perfect so then the fun-factor of the file is just dependent on the song. Most of the time there's at least some compromise, but whatever, we've already exhausted that conversation.

The bottom line is you can do whatever the **** you want as long as what you're doing is correct within your own rule set (if you have one :\).

I guess it's kind of pointless to argue over opinions but my point is that just because you have an opinion doesn't mean the other stepfile is worse, because they're not directly comparable. Unless you were to take an exhaustive poll. And step one song two different ways. Hmm....

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

whatever what i'm saying is that because a song is hard/awkward to play irl doesn't mean the stepfile has to be.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

Well, I wouldn't have responded had you said that.

You said that it shouldn't be, not that it didn't have to be.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

I just said it's one of the styles of stepping, it's not a duty or something.

I don't think any patterns in that file are that awkward or difficult to be honest.
plus "awkward" is pretty much a subjective word as well as "fun", so I doubt any constructive discussion can be done by that word.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

This is a place where you suggest songs, right? Because I'm not going to say anything about stepfiles.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

why does Inside the Fire have "FFR Chart" in the title

[Silvuh]

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

There's a [Light], [Standard], and [Heavy] on the band's widget (corrected—see below), so the steps that are in FFR have the [FFR Chart] label.


Edit:
Oops, sorry about that. I didn't even remember FFRock. Makes more sense for it to be the "FFR Chart", then, 'cause it only has four arrows... Yeah.

[bluguerrilla]

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

That and because those other charts are for FFRock.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

Oh. No, you don't suggest songs in here; you'd do that in the songs/permissions subboard.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

Is it just me, or is Ivaltek way understepped? As in nearly every 16th triplet sounds more like a 32nd roll to me or at least faster than 16ths

[Patashu]

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

yes ivaltek has LOADS of 32nds but that would make it unbalanced in terms of difficulty. I wanted it to be about VD/C level overall

you don't have to step every brrt, bzz and rrr you know

true, and I like that you kept the difficulty like that, but wouldn't the difficulty still be consistent if it had 32nds every 8 notes anyways? Just sayin', still looks like a great file though
