Re: FFR Community Pack 4 Released!

when steppin a file you hve to ask yourself :"is this even gonna get lpayed more than once??" 99% of the time answer is no so dont bother

if your file doesnt feel like a kil file you might as well kil yourself so you can make kil files


then you make sure to step eveyr audible sound in dddream studio cuz thats what all the people who make unfun files use

then you pick a song that was sampled using burt cummings anal evacuations aka venetian snares nightcore remix and literally every brony and their hohophobic conservative fathers will love your file

Glad to see id and loli fishing getting love :3 tho I probably should have switched hvy/oni on loli so it would occur to people that its not just the 'easier chart' haha

Re: FFR Community Pack 4 Released!

spread players definitely have different taste

\O/ me too hi5

@snapps, it's not a matter of different taste haha, it's a completely different game. every one of the files is designed specifically to be enjoyed for spread, idk why anyone would expect them to be any fun at all with a different style :\

this is hardly drama, though. the discussion has been very civil throughout this thread, even when people didn't like the pack or specific aspects of it

as long as it's productive and respectful, I think it's a good thing

ok im back from subway. the question should be what does fun factor consist of for you? why? because everything else listed is what makes up fun factor. im so ****ing tired of people saying that files have more technicality than fun factor or that flow was taken more into account than fun factor. ever since that QED thread people have been comparing things to fun factor when they have no god damn idea what their talking about. its like mainstream political hot words that are used all the ****ing time. global warming would be a great example.

so please for the love of god stop comparing things that make up fun factor to fun factor itself. not only is it annoying but it makes you look like a no nothing jackass.


OK what i find enjoyable in files is how well the file follows the music. if theres an intense section in a song i expect the difficulty to spike in that section. if theres a soft mellow section in the song i dont expect to be hitting 32nd bursts even if there is a small blip bloop that those 32nds go to. I also enjoy balanced files that dont have a hand biased. sure if the music is mainly panned to the left or right then yes i expect the chart to reflect that but when the music is even and im hitting nonstop left hand running men or hidden 8th jacks on the right hand constantly during 16th js then i will probably not care about playing the rest of the file and i probably wont ever play that file ever again.

for me a fun file has no one concept dominant over another. for example i dont like purely technical charts nor do i enjoy purely expressive charts. a chart that maintains its technically through out while still expressing the song to the best of the step artists ability. as long as i get what the step artist is trying to do that is good enough for me.

i could type out much more but i'll refrain from doing so xd

the only reason devour is in game is because of how many times xander send that god damned file to the batch and how tired all the judges were of playing it. also sweet



there is more to stepping a file than just technicality. ALSO FUN-NESS OF A FILE IS THE SUM OF ALL ASPECTS OF STEPPING AND NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY ITSELF.

technicality
fluidity
music relevance

these are the three things that make up FUN and depending on the song at hand and the stepartist there are varying degrees of each that go into the final file. until people realize this no one will get anywhere and it'll just be idiots running in circles chasing their own asses

proper sync and layering contribute to the correctness of a file. a file doesnt need to be 100% technical 100% fluid or 100% relevant to the music to be fun but there is always a percentage no matter how small that is contributed from each

i already replied to aj's point so i wont go there. with the current judging system any reject from a single judge would completely ruin the chances of a file getting in. this is going to change soon though. the problem with having one judge from every skill level(which ive suggested before but i hadnt really thought it through then) is that there arent many people qualified to judge that would meet the skill level requirements. even now there are judges on the panel who tend to put their feeling about the file before most everything else. most of the judges on the panel though are able to cover all angles so i think we're good there



i dont see how knowing what makes a file fun has to do with difficulties. but for the second thing i already mentioned what makes a file fun: technicality, fluidity and music relevance. this is the basis of every file and what people use to rate the fun-ness of a file though people that dont have any knowledge of stepping wouldnt refer to those terms when talking about why they like a file.

some reasons why you would like waiwai

the file flows amazingly well and has no abrupt changes in the way the file is stepped. the difficulty remains almost consistent the entire time and its easy to distinguish what the file is stepped. the sync is fine so you are questioning if you're hitting the notes on time. having it flow as well as it does also means that you can actually pay attention to the song without having to really concentrate on the file to score well on it. the jack usage is also well done because it doesnt affect the flow of the file much and it keeps you from getting too bored with the file by increasing the difficulty of the file a bit. the usage of bpm changes also makes for great eye candy. it makes it easy to distinguish the parts that require more attention from the parts that require next to none.

also my theory on files is pretty well organized and hasnt failed me yet. i dont receive many complaints on my newer files so i must be doing something right
