hey dont diss on my bmscore i charted other things too

I know and tbh i love bmscore, is just i don't think thats what the novices are looking for when entering a rhythm game. I've heard several times that they are looking for recent popular songs and there's a considerable lack of those files.

Shame about the copyright issues though!

Re: While we're at it, why not Stepping Stones 4? (Released!)

lol the Korean songs are perfectly fine in the pack despite me personally not being into that stof

gotta love copyright

that said I know you were trying to get a good whole run of the pack done, but I do recommend you sometime to check out some of the easier files, if it's not on your agenda

i will fam

going to review this when i get the chance

Re: While we're at it, why not Stepping Stones 4? (Released!)

i'm only playing the hardest versions of each file sorry not sorry

also keep in mind that on the scale that i'm using 5 is average so keep that in mind when getting butt hurt because your file got a score lower than 7/10. 5 is neither good nor bad just meh. 6-7 slightly above average, id probably play it again. 8+ playing it again every time i decide to check out the pack. anything below a 5 and i probably wont play again

abandoned art - learn to cut songs and not repeat sections endlessly. has potential but the execution was poor. 2/10

AH! - i played medium because i couldnt do hard rofl. solid stuff and its just a really good solo file. kind of repetitive but the song was short 8/10

Alone - this file was cute. the intro layering progression was neat though it played too rigid and created unneeded tension. 6/10

Anaconda - my own file. i like the song and i think that will play a huge part in whether or not this file is replayable. i tried to make it as unrepetitive as possible but there isn't much i can do considering the song. 5/10

Belly Dance - Another one of my own files. each difficulty is stepped differently from each other. standard is stepped with the vocals being the main focus and heavy is stepped with the instrumentals in mind. i personally like standard more than heavy. 6/10

Digiben - wow the second half is significantly harder than the first half and considering that Ah! was rated 7 and this is rated 8 i would bump the rating up to 9 personally. aside from that this was dope. 7/10

Dithering - i'm super disappointed you didnt have jacks for tension in the middle of the song and even more disappointed you didnt bother changing up anything when the first section repeats. the ending could've also been cut. 6/10

excite bike - garbage 1/10

fantastique - super boring pattern usage and everything just felt same-y. the song owned though and that would be the only reason id replay this file 7/10

fly - this song could've used a cut as well. i can tell your favourite patterns are 1324 and 4231 lol. the jack usage was confusing during the js sections but when it made sense they felt good to hit. the solo got really annoying with the guitar being holds. i suggest shortening the holds to just 16ths or 32nds next time except for sustained notes which should be a bit longer but still shorter than what you have them at. 7/10

for father - pretty sure there are some ghost notes in the end and that 32nd jack is a dick fucking move but other wise this file owns. 8/10

futuristic love - i wouldve liked to see more of the longer jacks on 2 and 3 in the second half rather than on 1 and 4 but really solid file. 9/10

i'll review the rest laterrrrr

No one does reviews anymore and it sucks so I'm stepping up to the plate for better or worse

as a stepartist you've the right to discount any error as conscious bias in efforts to portray expression in the song with subjective preference to structure

tl;dr: its not wrong, its intentional :^)

Its more worrying if a stepartist ISN'T in denial about something.

I think if someone was in denial about a fault of theirs, that'd be a bad thing. Are you talking about bias?

i was shitposting

anyway:

im bored so ill chip in with the reviews.

Only palyed the hardest diff for each file. Also, I don't play solo. 4k only, sorry kids.

Abandoned Art - Starts off strong, then gets repettitive. The gap at the end is super boring and way too long. Also file is right hand bias by a fair margin for the first 2/3 of it.

Alone - Those gluts are way harder than anything else in the file for the rating the file has. Ending was kinda dull. Intro was super promising though. (Gluts can be excused if they were meant to be bursty, but I don't think the sounds they went to justified it)

Anaconda - Super repetitive, but that's what the song itself is so its kinda justified. Difficulty felt all over the place, and the patterns for the drums never really changed. It was the same patterns repeated from what i could tell.

Belly Dance - Not much to say here. It works, but the song itself is dull.

Dithering - Some patterns felt off, but overall really fun. (Felt kinda empty comparred to the intense nature of the song though?)

Exite Bike - Absolute dogshit through and through

Fantastique - Fucking great song. File was p fun too, but the second half was harder than the first. It's justified by the intensity of the song, but still something to note.

Fly - Super fucking dull. Solo stuff was fun though.

For Father - Awful song. Boring patterns for 2/3 of it, and some notes felt like they were going to nothing. Last segment was really nice though.

Futuristic Love - Some awkward patterns, but that's just me. File was k_hand: (I liked it a lot)

Happy H. Christmas - ...boring.

Hold it Down - HELL YES. This song is fucking amazing. Patterns mixed well with the flow of the vocals along with the nature of the song. Some sections felt awkward but were justified by the music itself. Good file.

Huge Upside Down Squirrel - Difficulty of this was all over the place, but the file was really fun.

I Want You - Not bad. Bursts were fitting but spikey, file was overall pretty fun. Song was bad tho.

Ishukan Communication - Fuck off. Weeb.

Kleos - Felt like it was trying to be a dump file but couldnt. It felt half-dump half-legit file... Not a fan.

Leraine - Intro was way too long - and empty. Ending was too easy in comparrison to the rest of the file.

Minamichita EVOLVED - I forgot to check who stepped this file but during it I thought this felt like ele's patterning (In a good way). I was right. File is really fun, song is nice too. The intro is a meme and I love it. Those splithand trils near the end were funny too.

Nemesis - Fun. Song is really nice. Gap in the middle was boring but that's unavoidable because of the song.

Palpitations - No thanks. Not even playing this one. scrwe Kpop or whatever this is.

Passage D - Piano overpowered the beat in some places but wasn't stepped at all. File was basically the exact same thing all the way through with barly any deviation. Song itself would've been way better without the beat.

Pixel Tree - First half was fun but inconsistant, second half was really dull in comparrison.

Plasma Gun - meame jackz

Play Time!! -seriuz time! GOD Korz-K is so fucking shit. Anyway, file is super fun. Those bursts were nice, but the overall difficulty is REALLY inconsistant (Just like the quality of the song HUAHA!). Overall pretty fun.

Profession - Those bursts were fucking awful. Yes they're just roles, but they don't fit in the slightest. They're like 3x harder than everything else in the file and don't work. The ending especially.

Sakasama No Chou - My own file. Could have played on the vocal tones a bit rather than it just being 1 note per syllable. I regret that a fair bit. It would've been neat.

Seaside Labyrinth - Funky. bursts were kinda hard comparred to the rest of the file but that's understandable considering what they went to.

Shelter - Fun, simple, rates really well. Just kinda repetitive, but the song itself is so that's justified.

Hydrocity zone act 2 - Fun. Felt awkward at times though.

Studiopolis zone act 1 - Those gluts don't work. They're way harder than the rest of the file. File was good tho.

Studiopolis zone act 2 - Good song. Fun. Funky, has some weird sections but they were justified.

UFO Special Stage - This was good. Real good.

Strayer - 1 of the bursts felt super off, the rest were great. The jack/gluts near the end were a huge, huge difficulty spike, but I loved them.

Surf on the Light - The spike near the end is stupid, the rest of the file was consistant.

Surrender - Seriously dull.

TELECASTER STRIPES - Fun jacks. Inconsistant difficulty, boring song.

The Govt. Knows - ...I feel enlightened. The file was hilarious too. Good shit.

The Schism - I love this kinda shit. Super bias here but this is the kidna shit I shitpost with. Good stuff

Underground River - One of my files. Could have userd more dynamic/freeform patterning, or more patterns in general to show the amotpsheric nature of the file.

Une Mage Blanche - First half was fantastic. I quit out second half it was so bad. No thanks.

Utopia - I dont know how you managed to get a 1 minute long song to feel like its taking forever, but well done. (Actual file thoughts? Boring, but accurate to the song.)

We Good - *pops a cap in ur ass* YUH that's some good shit

WoW!! - No.

Re: While we're at it, why not Stepping Stones 4? (Released!)

Passage D and Belly Dance were charted to emphasize a specific aspect of the song. For Belly Dance one chart is specifically vocals and the other is specifically the sweet music. It's not meant to be harder, just different than the other chart. For Passage D, Medium is only the piano, Hard is only percussion.
