Re: Mystery Pack 3 Released

Ant IDM - Shoot, this gets intense. Very fun file, love the dynamic shifts and the tempo keeps this interesting throughout both the easy and hard parts. Maybe a tad overstepped, but that comes with the territory. Good job, Rog.

Bat Country - Flows quite well and I enjoyed your usage of mines. Felt that the freezes could have been used more sparingly, maybe? This screams Sargon but I wouldn't be surprised if I were wrong with this.

Bubsy The Bobcat - I know that roll is technically accurate, but it still sticks out like a big ugly green splotch of notes. Neat file otherwise; I really enjoyed your accentuations on the background melodies. I really don't know who this could be (who steps like this anymore?), so I'll just random a guess and go with Ferrari.

Crystal Sample - Very cute file that might be a touch overstepped. Parts of this feel pretty old-school. I think this is similar to Kommisar's style so going with him.

Heart Beat Rock - Flawless file except for the fact there was swing you could have stepped :< You can't hide behind this song choice, Gundam-Dude.

Limbo - I saw the graphics for this and I immediately knew this was stepped by Scylaax. The file only confirmed my suspicion. This plays pretty cleanly, with trademark drum'n'bass Scylaax patterns and some really sick freeze sections. Not much to say.

Manima Ni - This would have been a very crisp scoring file if it weren't so weighted with freezes. I do think they are used well in some parts of this chart (the vocal harmonies are emphasized effectively) other parts could have done without them. I guess this is leonid since he already has a recorded confessional...unless he's lying. But you wouldn't lie to me, right?


...Right?


The Nth Degree - Marathon + Stephen Kay = jimerax and Don. Sorry, I'm pressed for time, so I might have to skip this for now.

Pink Nightmare - Terrifying song, kickass file. A few minor layering choices and patterns early on that I disagreed with, but the longer it went on, the more I got into it. Style fits Wineandbread perfectly, has to be him.

Suffocating Sight - Roar file to the core. Tons of rage-inducing patterns, Trivium song, those streams...

The New Sound - Patashu would totally dump this song like this, in my opinion. This is basically pure undistilled scoring file: like a more hipster version of Kil's Flower Awaken. Fun while it lasts, though...and if you have the wrist power to combo all of it.

Witch of The Bottomless Swamp - MORE SCYLAAX GRAPHICS AHOY! Incredibly fun file, I think one of my favorites from this pack. File is patterned impeccably, rhythms are varied and bombastic, just tons of stuff here. Feels like Ophi to me, but I know at least one of these files is a trick question. But I'm going with Ophi.

Witch's Tower - Simple but pretty fun, wonky song though. Straightforward jack theory and jump usage. Feels like Roar

Neat pack duders, glad to see more conspiracies afoot.

Re: Mystery Pack 3 Released

Here's my review (I didn't bother thinking about authors during my first playthrough so these are relatively unbiased):

Ant IDM - Can't play this song very well, surprisingly difficult so gonna ease up on the judgment. Overall I thought it was a good file.

Bat Country - Well done, pretty fun. Not much to say (o:

bubsy the bobcat - The 64th wall seemed really out of place in difficulty with the rest of the song, but otherwise decent. Sync felt a tad off to me?

Crystal Sample - File is good. I thought the mine usage was a little... I don't want to say 'inconsistent', but it felt good in some places and eh in others.

Heart Beat Rock - I dunno how I feel about this. It's stepped fine but overall pretty lackluster chart. Also I have an quirk with the jumpjack at the end of each drum loop, cause it definitely sounds faster than 16ths to me.

The Limbo - pretty KOOL. I didn't spot anything too out of place. Nice buildup and chart fits the song well imo

Manima ni - I love this song btw. Chart was good. Mines pretty excessive at the beginning xd but their use in the song was good for the most part. Rather freeze heavy and I didn't think some of it was really necessary.

The Nth Degree - Dat Stephen Kay. This was a really cool and well done file imo. Background is gross, sorry. ):

Pink Nightmares - File's tight. I enjoyed most of it, although I felt some flow issues with the chill sections. I think a cut of the song would have been more appropriate.

Suffocating Sight - Not bad. Again, I can't really play this song very well so I'll reserve any real judgements. Patterns seem kinda quirky I think, should have been more playtested imo

The New Sound - Ugh. Just straight up 16ths the whole way through isn't really much fun I would think. Patterns at the end are especially annoying. I think this was purposefully stepped to mask the simfile creator's style.

Witch of the bottomless swamp - Groovy and enjoyable. File is varied, but still felt a tad dragged on and I would have preferred to see a cut.

Witch Tower - Really solid file, very fun. Not much else to be said here for me.

Guesses:

Ant IDM - leonid
Bat Country - GD
bubsy - puppet
Crystal - Sargon
HBR - moches
Limbo - Roar
Manima ni - Dimentio
Nth Degree - wc
Pink Nightmares - Detri
SS - Torrent
The New Sound - ferrari
The Witch of the Bottomless Swamp - JX & Don
Witch's Tower - baq21

I assumed only 1 submission per person

I only 'cheated' a little bit in a manner of speaking, and I'm still not very sure on several of these rip

Re: Mystery Pack 3 Released

Ant IDM: Rog/ Songchoice, use of mines, and the way the colour notes are used

Bat Country: GundamDude/ I HAVE NO CLUEEEEEEEEEEE (besides, being straightforward patterns, no colour notes, mine and freeze use (??) alternate guess is Rebound since he steps neatly but from songchoice alone I have no idea. [a tra ee ya ee ya eee.sm]

Bubsy the Bobcat: Ferrari/ By elimination, simple straightforward file, VGM song choice, sorry I haven't played many of your files before ):

Crystal Sample: moches/ use of mines, colour accents here and there, "sounds like a moches song"

Heart Beat Rock: GundamDude/ By elimination, sm file name, banner alone, consistent layering, green holds, mines (although questionably rigid file relatively, and too straightforward. Might be a red herring)

the Limbo: Scylax/ GFX is a giveaway, very dense layered file and use of those holds, halved bpm section

manima ni: Lynn/ At first I wanted to say YumeKuro, but cdtitle isnt in ): Generous mine usage snapped to 8ths, and 8th freeze usage

Nth degree: Jimerax/Don/ ohey this is familiar (o:

Pink Nightmares: Roar176/ Level 9001 instant giveaway, layering style being consistent, trademark "very empty" spots for the quieter parts to preserve layering structure

Suffocating Sight: baq12(???)/ Honestly no clue, I haven't played many baq12 files sorry ):

The New Sound: WTFBrandon(?)/ Not sure, guessing by song choice alone. Layering feel(?) I haven't played enough of your files sorry ):

The witch of the Bottomless Swamp: Ophi(?)/ By elimination, songchoice, coloured notes I'm not so sure. I only have one other file of yours to compare with ):

Witch's Tower: Dimentio/ Songchoice dead giveaway, use of indexable 24th stream, jack pattern use, mine usage. Uwaaa


I think WC and Wineandbread submitted a file though so I'm definitely wrong on some, and the fact that my guesses don't line up with previous confirmed guesses

Alternate guesses:
All stepped by me the end

EDIT: After reading the post below, Bat Country, Manima ni are horrible guesses rofl
