Kirlian Selections Project

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

I understand where you're coming from, but there are 28 songs here. This isn't a "Kirlian Choices Restep Project," it's every song on the album.

Not to mention, how many songs are actually goin to get resteps? Let's count.

Passage D has been stepped twice, fortunately the guy who stepped it is sending his expanded charts for this pack.
Lawn Wake IX has been stepped twice as well, pfx and puppet. Puppet's chart is almost five years old.
I think you and can both agree that only good Mellann file is currently Macgravel's file. This one's almost six years old.
Dishevel has been stepped twice (bet you didn't know Scylax stepped it), but I've honestly always liked ian's chart better than ji's.
Shortcuts has been stepped once. 6-7 years ago.

After Shortcuts, nothing else is getting a restep. rog sent his AIS maybe 5 minutes after the project was started, and I'm making a v2 for Kirlian Choices.

So only 5/28 of these are resteps. You could argue Binedump and Kirlian Shores, but there have never been good files for these songs.

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

tl;dr there are 23 songs that haven't had charts, which outweigh all the resteps

tl;dr v2 srs stepmania

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

Started on Kirlian Shores Standard already. Will be hopefully finished with that and Light on Saturday.

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

So I just remembered Disheveled was IDM and the last time I stepped that it took me more than two weeks to get it down right. So just take me off of the list for now and I'll hit you up when I'm almost done.

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

I'll move you up to oni and have ian's charts be the main charts, then

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

Kirlian Shores - Wafles
First chart! From a technical standpoint, this is really well done. There are some pitch relevancy errors in the intro, but I like how the freezes accented the tape decay effect. The rest of the file is layered very well and consistently. However, I feel that in certain spots, that brings up issues. First and foremost, the vast majority of the snares in the song as stepped as hands. While this isn't a huge issue, it certainly detracts from the overall playability. It doesn't occur as often during what you would consider the chorus, though. Another thing I noticed was how rigid the file played during the chorus. Did you try playing through the chart and ironing out awkward or needlessly tough patterns? I don't mean any offense, of course. Check out the hand usage and pattern choice during the chorus.

The first thing that popped out was the grace notes. Not entirely sure what they're used to accent during the intro. If they're used for that metallic click at the end of the plucks, I don't think they're noticeable for grace notes. That aside, the file is a bit messier than Wafles'. Pitch relevancy is way more consistent, and I like that you're less liberal in your use of hands. What I didn't enjoy too much was the density of mini-jacks, and it seems like they're not necessarily intended. I would also recommend doing a play-through, changing patterns that feel awkward to hit. Borderline Accept

To be fair though, I think this is one of the tougher songs to step well, if not the hardest. You both are tackling this really well; I'm excited to see your charts if you update them. And of course, if you'd like more detailed notes, just say so.

heh, the click for the plucks was reserved for column 1. the colour notes are going to the background piano. i'm not sure if you caught on, but the jump patterning is very strict in mine. kick drums are on [13] or [24], snare is [12][23][34], and sustained hi hat is [14]. crash/ride are layered as hands. this contributes somewhat to the rigidity of the patterns, though.

resent, went through and cleaned up some of the minijacks and burst patterns.

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

put me down for challenge on passage d & lawn wake ix, i'll make some tough files out of em

I might scrap lawn wake tho, i really don't know if i'll be able to make a chart on par or better than puppet & cetaka's

[Wafles]

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

I can check some things out later for it but overall I was really happy with most of my chart. I could see knocking some of the hand usage down but to be honest I would almost rather not. I personally really like a lot of hands so that's kind of my style. There are two short sections that I could consider revising. I will likely pm you in the future about it. Probably not til after Christmas or something.

On a side note about half a dozen people have played my chart, including staiain and no one really complained about the hands or the difficulty spikes. We will see what I end up changing but don't expect much.

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

You got it. Once I have your updated chart, I'll look at it with caliber's again.

Re: Kirlian Selections Project

i have a joke chart for Creep that's stepped pretty much the exact way you'd expect an overcharted file for Creep to be done
you should put it in there as an Edit char lmfao

anyway I'm gonna see what isn't taken yet and pick a few to get done
