Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

Layering feels very repetetive. [24] jumpjacks are probably the biggest offender here.
25.151s - What is going on here? Feels iffy to me

some of the difficulty spikes feel really bad to me
most difficult section of the song is not the most intense part of the song which is probably a bit annoying to some, i'm guilty of this in many of my files too though
beyond that its just not a very memorable t+pazolite song imo

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

Might see if I can change the jumpjacks to [34] instead of [24]. Ill try and fix the layering as well, maybe change some things up. I removed the part at 25.151, there's a 64th roll here but I wanted to just try and layer in some 64ths (don't know why)

Thanks for the feedback.

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

Other than the weird part at 25.121s,

26.029 - ghost 64th
Jumpjacks to voice samples were kinda unjustified imo lol
57.894, 63.379 etc. - 8th jump shouldn't be the same as the 4th jump preceding it, the voice sample on the 4th cuts out there
Theres a number of missing 16ths for voice samples later on in the song, and when stepped the jacks can be inconsistent (referring to 76.451 on)
86.865 - wow no lol (btw in any case the last jump shouldn't be the same as the rest)
More could have been done during the run-up sections e.g. in ~102s - ~107s, a couple before that
Missing jump 128.694
A lot of coypasta, which is specially noticeable because of how one-handed many of the copypasted patterns are, and causes the errors (missing 16ths in particular) to be magnified

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

Looks like I should probably start from the beginning and rechart the file, making it easier, getting rid of lots of the copypasted patterns

I think I made it a bit too hard and lots of parts were eh (thanks for the feedback!)

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

Turns out i should've posted my file here since im looking for feedback

Song name: Lupin the 3rd
Artist: Ventura
Style: 4key
Difficulty: i dont really know, perhaps in FFR it would be less than 40 or around that

Its not hard, it kind of is an index file but it has jumps that dont make it one. what needs to changed or removed or should i just start over lol....

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

make sure to zip folders instead of groups of files. it's kind of annoying to deal with when you don't.

just going to give a list of bullet points since it's easier for me to gather my thoughts into a post that way:
- has potential but also has quite a few problems
- this file is essentially having an (ph)identity crisis. is it a file meant to be played on spread or index? a lot of the patterning is really rigid either way.
- pitch relevancy is lacking where you could use it without making hard or repetitive patterns. for example, the staircase @ 8.24s could be patterned to follow what the synth is doing a lot better.
- you switch what sounds you are following too often throughout the file and it doesn't really make much sense
- layering needs to be entirely redone. feels like a konami file that layers arbitrarily. pick what constitutes a jump, hand, etc. and stick to it.

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

Been messing around with it trying to fix it but it's actually harder hah, ill give another go at the tutorials to see what i can do about the layering. Thanks for the feedback.

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

I got one finished file and one file in progress I'd like some feedback on.

The finished one:

Song: Naughty Oaf's Isle
Artist: Shnabubula
Style: 8-bit funk or something
Difficulty: VC? Dunno, it has some spikes, but overall pretty easy.

Specific worry: technically correct, but annoying jacks


The one in progress:

Song: Song to the Pharaoh Kings
Artist: Al Di Meola
Style: Metal (?)
Difficulty: Again VC I suppose, for the same reason.

Specific points:
- BPM keeps changing slightly. It's a live recording, plus it is rythmically complex and there are lots of BPM shifts. I'm doubting between keeping the BPM as it is now or using constant BPM sections.
- The start is a long guitar solo, which I wrote as a hold-stream. Is this ok or should I use the holds more sparingly?
- The 24th/48th part gets boring really quickly. I tried simple layering, but the constant jumps don't seem to offer a lot of memorable playing moments. Any ideas?

Re: "Play/Test/Judge my simfile" thread V2

Its ok

Kinda boring but you did pretty good for what the song provides I think. Song choice would prevent me from replaying it, along with it being a bit easy for me. I could see this being fun for maybe some beginner players.

Look forward to seeing other files from you.

8/10 file but the song just isn't for me

4-key Eurobeat (some new style of Eurobeat like J-Euro, Aishu, Ponybeat, from what I've heard)

Eurobeat file I've been working on for a while now. Haven't touched it in a couple of months. Mostly making it for my own pleasure, but feedback is appreciated. Anything better than complete shit is cool with me.
