    Special stepfiles

    I don't know if this should be in the stepfiles thread, it's just a suggestion, but I'll create it anyway.

    I think there should be more unique stepfiles like M.A.M.A., which uses only 3 buttons the whole song. Something like a song with just 1 button full of jacks that requires a good rhythmic sense to PA, or songs with different and strange patterns. I know that the possibilities are a bit limited for 4 arrows, but I think it would be interesting to have these in the game.

    Best AAA: Frictional Nevada (Done while FFR was out, so it doesn't show in my level stats)

    Resting. I might restart playing FFR seriously someday.

    Re: Special stepfiles

    i kinda agree lol, 4 arrows is getting old.

    maybe a song full of jumps replacing single notes and quads/hands replacing jumps.

    no single notes lol.

    sure itd be hard, but i mean, pretty much every stepfile these days is the same.

    but anyway, you'd have to contact stepartists about this sort of thing.

      Re: Special stepfiles

      if a song was made that was just a long jack then yes


      and a song with all jumps and hands would be cool

        I'd have to disagree with you on that one. For me, the backgrounds are distracting, and can make it very difficult for me to see the arrows.

        i definitely vote for getting jackhammer madness in the game, and more interesting/different patterns in general.

          Re: Special stepfiles

          there's only so much you can do with 3 arrows tbh

          combinatronically less than what you can do with 4, it's so constrained

          we don't need another MAMA

          btw we already have an all jumps song. it is called turkish march and really gay

            Backgrounds = yes only if they are able to be turned off. (kinda like sm)

            Also no more special stepfiles. MAMA sucked, we don't need another one.

                Let's make a 6 arrow stepfile. :won't happen:
                1st in Kommisar's 2009 SM Tournament
                1st in I Love You`s 2009 New Year`s Tournament
                3rd in EnR's Mashfest '08 tournament
                5th in Phynx's Unofficial FFR Tournament
                9th in D3 of the 2008-2009 4th Official FFR Tournament
                10th in D5 of the 2010 5th Official FFR Tournament
                10th in D6 of the 2011-2012 6th Official FFR Tournament

                FMO AAA Count: 71
                FGO AAA Count: 10

                Bluearrowll = The Canadian player who can not detect awkward patterns. If it's awkward for most people, it's normal for Terry. If the file is difficult but super straight forward, he has issues. If he's AAAing a FGO but then heard that his favorite Hockey team was losing by a point, Hockey > FFR

                      If you want to do something different you can always double or quadruple the bpm of a file, push it 3/96th of a beat forward and step one instrument with green notes, the other one with cyan.

                        Re: Special stepfiles

                        if another 3-arrow file is added now it's not unique at all anymore.

                        also, this concept only works for joke files (you can still use this in a part of the file like {Rose}).

                          is there a minimalist song out there that uses only pitch?

                            Maybe we can do that in a song that's basically drums.
