Re: Team Pony

Yay for bumping. Just letting ya'll know that I started stepping Sunshine and Celery Stalks by PinkiePieSwear. This will be my 3rd legit file. I'll post a vid of it when I'm done, however it probably won't be done for awhile. I usually spend quite a bit of time on files. XP

So many ponies. X__X

Re: Team Pony

I do have one question however. I was wondering if I should keep the three yellow (16th notes I believe) notes in a row, or use the purple one in the middle. here's the video because it's hard to explain, because in my opinion it seems like having the 3 yellows is more on-sync. probably not a huge deal, but I'm still kind of a beginner when it comes to stepping, so I thought I would ask.

here's the link because I'm not sure if embedding would work since this one's unlisted. the song is at like 0.6 speed because I usually slow songs down when I step them.

Re: Team Pony

The yellow one in my opinion. I expected the pattern to repeat to be honest, so I think the purple one would of ended up tripping me up and would of kind of annoyed me. It's also fairly awkward in my opinion, and the yellow one flows fine anyways so it shouldn't be a big deal if it repeats.

Though I don't really know much about stepping, having never stepped a song in my life. Maybe you should wait on megamon and gold stinger to give you some advice on this.

Re: Team Pony

The 3 yellow notes in a row is the correct method for the song. Between the 2 yellow notes, the song follows the regular 1/8th beat timing. Since the 1/8th beat timing starts on a yellow note, the following note after that would also be a yellow note, and would do that until the next jump, and repeats.

Sometimes I get confused about note placement as well just because either my response is a little behind, or I don't notice until someone else points it out for me.

EDIT: could use some help on my own part. Making one of my songs, and the vocals are not in line with the regular notes, almost. What do you guys think? should I swap out the 24th (purple) notes for 16th (yellow) notes during the verse? or are they fine as is?

I still want your camera megamon.

Re: Team Pony

The whole song is swingy, so I would go as far as changing your 16ths to swing 24ths/12ths.

That's what I figured, thanks for the help. :P

Re: Team Pony

I couldn't really hear the song because of the clap assist, but yeah I'm assuming it would be 16ths too since a single 12th doesn't really make sense :P

looks cool bro.

Yeah I guess I should have taken the assist clap off, but oh well, I'll post it when I'm done. XP

if you're going for a super easy laid back file then what you have is fine i can totally see what you're doing and it plays out ok (although i really have no idea if you can keep it interesting for 4 minutes) but to answer your question no there isn't a 12th note there

if you're going for super technical then:

-assist tick can be misleading because your mind can just as easily fit the assist tick to the song rather than the reverse (also on lowered rates it can actually cover up sounds that would otherwise be fairly prominent on 1x) rather than using assist tick i prefer to play the chart itself to see how well the chart meshes with the song + you have notes to sounds that aren't audible on 1.0x

-technically the synth is on 16ths and also technically falls on the snare on m3.25 its not exactly the most clearly audible but its there (this is of course assuming we have the same mp3)

-the patterns aren't jacks but triplets (that result in a runningmen with the anchor on the 16ths which is i guess what you stepped -8ths) although i myself would not be opposed to putting jacks there instead but then again i have been known to put jacks to about anything and everything sooooo

-you missed a couple 24ths in there (it falls between the last 16th of both jack sets and the respective [12] jump afterward) if you wanna get super deduper technical although its barely audible on 0.6x and you probably wouldn't hear it if you weren't listening for it (though fairly prominent on 1.0 and might be something fun to call attention to idk)

i actually have no idea if you already know all this or not but you did indicate you were fairly new to stepping

it's also entirely possible that i have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about but you did inspire me to rechart the beginning of my file

Yeah I usually start stepping with just the music, then I use the assist tick just to make sure I'm on beat at certain parts, but thanks for the tips, feedback more than anything is what's been helping me the most with my files. And for this file I'm wanting to make it somewhat simple, not too difficult mostly because I can't really step anything harder than a 9 or so using FFR's difficulty system, but I'm getting there. :P

On a side note, VS PSYCHOSHY sooo good XD
