Re: [Submissions Open] The Void

LE REVIEWS
Like I Am (Kaho) - Conditional - I'm placing this in conditional, but leaning towards Accept. The reason why I placed it in conditional is because while it is a great beginner file, I'm not too sure how it'll stack up against future submissions. Now, this is only a suggestion, but, do you mind making a harder chart for this or even allow me to make a harder chart for this song? Again, leaning this towards accept but depending on how the submissions go.
UPDATE: Bumping this up to Accepted once the inclusion of a harder chart is made.

Hentai (DourGent) - Conditional - ughhhh...the song choice is as generic as it gets lmao. But then again, there's really not much technical fault with the file when dealing with S3RL haha. Hentai Hentai Hentai Hentai. Might put this in James May 7, saving this in here depending on submissions.
Update: Moving this down to Rejected due to this being released in another pack and DourGent giving me permission to do so.

Down the Road (Dingles) - Rejected - Dammit Dingles xD Saving this for James May 7 but this song isn't ideal for this pack considering that it's a dump xD Fun file though but not looking for dumps for this pack :V

[DMRIw] The Beast - Accepted - I'll give a slight review on this but I did address the sync issue to you on Discord but I have fixed that up for you. Slight technical errors that I'll add on in this post for you to fix. Otherwise, great job mang.

Twelve (AlexDest) - Accepted - Fuck me sideways. Main things that I want to point out is removing the minifreezes on the 16ths on 9.473 & 9.656 since the 4th and 8th in that grouping has the same accentuation. Either remove those minifreezes or include in the 4th & 8th. Also, I would suggest toning down the 48th burst in 35.906 since its a bit goofy in the transition (it's cheeseable but it doesn't feel very fluid in the flow enough imo). Also, the 48th on 1:34.595, shift it up to 1:34.565 since that's actually a 24th, mirror the PR in 1:50.723 and add mines on the 4 column in 1:51.089. Other than that, baller file haha.

Mary's Song (DourGent) - Rejected - I have nothing against the file, the only issue is that compared to the other files I've received, this file is too easy. The only reason why Like I Am is being accepted is because the song offers a harder difficulty to be made. Will save this for another project though c:

Hepatitus [DMRIw] - Accepted - This song gave me Hepatitus A. I love you.

Artificial Snow (DarkZtar) - Accepted - Fuck you for those 64th bursts lmao. The transition to those 64ths are fruity as fuck hahaha. I love that its not some Blastix Riotz meme song, but I really want you to fix those transitions to the 64th bursts or even nerfing those 64ths in general. But overall, accepted as fuck.

Thermostat 7 (Akuma123) - Accepted - I already mentioned the sync issues and other minor things on Discord with you. But aside from that, this file is definitely has a place in my heart in terms of Igorrr songs (Vegetable Soup and Oeusophage De Tourterelle being the other two Igorrr files that are the most memorable that I've played).

No Reply [DMRIw] - Accepted - This review has no reply in it :V Jokes aside, it's an interesting take on the file (at least different than the approach that I would have taken myself) but it works out perfectly fine and well, not a whole lot of wrong going on in this file <3

Sedmikrasky (DourGent) - Conditional - Setting this on maybe since I might put this file as the easy end benchmark on the pack files depending on how submissions go. But solid file overall~ Might put this in depending on how it goes towards the end of submissions c:
UPDATE: After much thinking, bumping this up to Accepted
UPDATE 2: DourGent has personally requested that he wants to pull this file out.

Unseen Hands (DourGent) - Accepted - Yay, fourth time's the charm :V Glad I went ahead and played the latest version you sent me haha. It's a fun little file for me to play haha.

Neon Cherry Blossoms (Rushy) - Conditional - I don't know...I mean the file is technically correct but I am really divisive on the file because it just doesn't seem that interesting. Also, remove the mines after that 48th quad (you know exactly which one I'm talking about lmao). Putting this in Conditional for now because I'm unsure whether to put it in or now. This is 90% due to song choice.

Acquire (DeltaApsilon) - Conditional - Man...you weren't kidding me when you told me these were LN-heavy files. My main gripe is that the LNs seem to interrupt the flow of the file at times (namely the first 32nd burst that has the freezes to accentuate it. My main suggestion is to cut the freezes down a bit or trimming them. You'll get the same effectiveness of how the sound is accentuated without it looking heavily obnoxious. Fun file though!
UPDATE: The fixes definitely made the file better. And I do appreciate that you made another difficulty that's not as noodly haha. Moving this up to Accepted

Firepower-UP Fever (DourGent) - Accept - I love Nanahira. Also, fuck you for tat 48th lmao. Fun as fuck scoring file.

Believer (DeltaEpsilon) - Rejected - Not really what I'm looking for in the pack. Doesn't help that the noodles felt very obnoxious. It's not a bad file but not what I'm looking for.

I'm Sorry For Liking You (DeltaEpsilon) - Rejected - Same thing as Believer. Would recommend sending those two files to another pack.

When Sorrows Sang (Storn) - Accepted - Yes please. This file greatly reminds me of the Astronomic Metal Collection packs and in a good way. Love it.

Villain of Science (Scintill) - Accepted - You already know how much I love this file

Steel Balls (DeltaEpsilon) - Rejected - This file feels...really dumpy. Not sure how but it doesn't feel right as a file. Try sending it to Lofty 4 maybe. Also, the roll freeze in the intro with the [23] jump freezes...gotta go lmao. It interrupts the flow so hard.

Futile, Hollow, and the Afterlife (Scintill) - Accepted - Cool simple file.

Casket (Leverage) - Rejected - You already know why I rejected this

Color Blind (Leverage) - Rejected - This file is filled with misrhythms on the intro, and the notes are way off. Also, this is more of a dump than a technical file, which is not what I'm looking for this pack. Baller song choice though!

Mr. Electron (Leverage) - Rejected - This file feels like you took a very safe approach. This is your best submission out of the three that you sent me though! But because of how conservative the patterns are, the gimmicks that you had in place weren't enough to make it interesting to be placed in the pack. The drop felt anticlimactic to be honest and that's when you really need to put the OOMPH to make the file more interesting. I hope to see more stuff from you though! Keep it up!

Puppy Parade (WATARU Bootleg) (Shenoboo & DourGent) - Accepted - I might as well make a Puppy Parade pack at this rate.

Whisper (Leverage) - Conditional - Definitely your best file! I will say this though, you can definitely experiment on the JS since the JS you have going at 150 BPM does feel generic to be honest. But! That's my main qualm on the file itself, but also touch up on the break itself. I definitely want to see this file be put in! Just touch up on the file!
UPDATE: Definitely a much better chart! I'm glad that you worked on the file and it is now in the pack! I am definitely looking forward to seeing more work of yours Leverage! Accepted

Satan's Theme (DeciBel) - Conditional - I should just collect all the files that has Satan's Theme in it and make a pack lmao. I think this is like the 5th Satan's Theme that I have seen throughout my sm plays (I think three in the FFRCPs, and two scattered out elsewhere. The intro's difficulty balance feels off, you have 24th triplets going at first but then when you clearly hear 16ths going along afterward, you ignore the layering except for the 16th minijacks. I will say that its not a bad file,just need some cleaning up before it can be put in.

Comfortable Hole Bye (DourGent) - Accepted - Yep. Also, don't play this on rates guys, you'll get meme'd on.

KABOOM!!! (DeltaEpsilon) - Conditional - I fucking love you for this song but...there's not enough memes on here lmfao. The steps doesn't feel like it fits the memetry of the song itself. I can let this in if the file represents more of the song itself c:
UPDATE: Congrats on making the meme file of the year. Accepted

#Endroll (XelNya) - Rejected - I...um...no. Absolutely not. Not with those chordjacks. Also, I prefer the version without the fx for the song. But the whole file just screams SMOC for me and I honestly don't see this being in the pack. I may consider adding it in if you nerfed that section though, so you do have another shot at putting this file in.

Mystic Night (???) - Conditional - Hi! So to make things easier, I do wish that you'd put your simfile name on the folder name next time since I am still dead tired from work haha. But anyways, when you put "Advanced jumpstream and handstream" on the title, I was honestly expecting some NBJS/IcyX kind of shit in there lmfao. But in all honesty...it felt like the layering was too conservative to be honest. I'm not sure if its because of the song itself not lending any opportunities or whatnot, but it felt like a drag, and I'm conflicted in whether to put it in or not to be quite frank. Leaving this in conditional for now because frankly, there's not a whole lot of mistakes in the file, just that it feels too conservative.

anticrystal (Kaho) - Accepted - Fuck yes. This is actually feels like an easier version of my Pop It file lmfao. And I had a blast playing with this.

Destroy (Kaho & MacGravel) - Accepted - Fun x-mod file. Kids, remember to play this file on X-Mod to get the best experience!

flowers (Kaho) - Conditional - I'm going to be honest, I love the file, and as much as it pains me, the intro needs a cut badly. The 1-minute intro feels like a drag before I get to the song itself. But other than that, the file itself is gorgeous. Just cut about 30 seconds or so off the intro and it will be good to go.

simian (Kaho) - Conditional - This is one of the files that I frankly believe benefits in having a harder chart to be accompanied with this current chart. Kinda like the case with Broadcast in Project 0 where both charts there are great in its own right. If you don't mind doing a harder chart of it or someone else handling the harder chart, let me know, but either way, this is one of the files that I'm pushing towards the Accept territory regardless.

The Last Step (Kaho) - Accepted - :clap: Good shit.

we've never met but, can we have a coffee or something (Kaho) - Conditional - Same issue with flowers, but if you want my honest opinion, this file would be better fit in PMOE2 if Carlos is still running that pack. But, if you still want it here, intro needs a cut before I can accept the file.

A return to Normalcy (DourGent) - Rejected - I might've accepted this if this was sent earlier in the pack's cycle, but considering that you did mention that it was an older file, I don't blame you for it. This file is pale in comparison to your other files on here and would probably be a better fit in a different pack.

A Little Nonsense (Scintill) - Accepted - Absolutely gorgeous file.

Kamikaze (Scintill) - Accepted - Fuck yes

Second Distraction (Scintill) - Accepted - :thumbs_up: If only this file did distract me lmao. Other than that, good stuff as always

Stash (Scintill) - Accepted - A journey well worth taking. Even if its seven minutes long, it is something to experience. Wonderful job Scintill

Can't Tell (DMRIw) - Conditional - Interesting file, my main gripe is the inconsistent jump usage, especially on the 4th notes where you have the kicks going on there every beat, and the sound warranting it to be justifying it as jumps. Fix up the jump consistency and then it'll be good~
Update: Yep. this file's good to go. Accept

Temp6hwz69o (DMRIw) - Accepted - Oof. This is a fun little file to grind on the go haha, not a lot of mistakes, and the rolls were a nice aesthetic touch to the file :thumbs_up:

Rage Template (DarkZtar) - Accepted - I was iffy on whether to accept this or not due to Scylaax (or Suimega as they go by now) charted this back during the LCP days and wondering if this restep had a different approach to it, which indeed it did. I had to adjust the offset a bit but that was no biggie. Fun shit this file was lmao.

Future Destination (DarkZtar) - Accepted - We bout to get some Furry stuff in here :V But in all seriousness, it felt nice to have that somewhat old-school js files vibe that flows well. Cool job

Echo of Forever (DarkZtar) - Rejected - Now, before you say anything, I rejected this file after comparing it to Necros' chart in ODI3 after going through this one and, despite the different approaches taken in both of these charts, Necros' chart held up a lot more favorably compared to this chart. Now, that's not to say this is a bad chart. It's not. It's an okay chart, but it didn't feel like it had anything special. It felt like a lightweight Artificial Snow chart and that's ultimately what led me to lean more towards rejecting this file.

4ever 5step (DourGent &Shenoboo) - Accepted - Hi, hope you adore holds and dodgeball, because this file has plenty of it :V

PAM!!! (Foxsky Version) [WATARU HardStep Flip] (Sheenoboo) - Accepted - WATATRU ORANGE SODA & FOXSKY BUBBLEGUM SODA SHALL BE UNITED AS ONE. Seriously though, this shit is fucking fun.

A Wonderful '0' (DourGent) - Accepted - This is the best Osu!Mania file that's not on Osu!Mania

Chipmigration (Carmelo616) - Rejected - File feels bland and boring to play. Song choice didn't help all that much to be honest :/

Golden Horn (Carmelo616) - Rejected - Honestly...this is the only real song that can stand a chance to be put in the pack. But it needs a lot of rework. A lot of the notes that were layered are ignored later on, PR is greatly ignored, and this file didn't bring the song any justice to be honest...and I also could've sworn that there was a chart already made for this a long time ago but I can't seem to find it anywhere. But the file lacks an identity. It's trying to be everything and it just doesn't feel like it meshes well with anything. I can see the ideas, but its just muddled by a lot of errors. Keep trying though! I can't wait to see fixes for this if you decide to send updates for this chart as I love this chart more than your other two!

Last Chance (Carmelo616) - Rejected - This feels like a generic js/hs file that has little to no engagement to the file. Song choice was bland and generic as well

Happy Ending (Kkrusty's We Ready Remix) (DMRIw) - Accepted - Fun file! My only major gripe is those goddamn flams in the break lmao. Remove those and have those be a freeze instead and this file is :thumbs_up:

Out With Your Clique (DMRIw) - Accepted - You've never stop ceasing to amaze me boi.

Nightingale (Windoze) - Accepted - Aside from a minor aesthetic difference that I would've preferred (having mines go to the bird chirps), this file is pretty much good on its own. And thank god you had roll freezes there and not like dumb bursts for a relatively simple and tame song (I'm looking at you Blind for what you did to that song in Secret Santa 4 >:C)

Strong One (Masked Man) (Windoze) - Accepted - Fuck yeah, Mother 3. To be honest, I was surprised that a good file was constructed out of this song. And it wasn't too dumb. While the song itself isn't as surreal as what you would find in some of the songs for Mother 2/Earthbound, this file compliments the mood that the song is given to. Good job.

Airhead (Scintill) - Accepted - This song can almost apply to any airhead out there. :thumbs_up:

Down the Road (Scintill) - Accepted - Not by the same people that Dingles sent me a file for lmao. But jeez, this file brought me a whirl of fun haha. Found a new artist to listen to now.

endleSSStation (DarkZtar) - Accepted - Fun and tricky file holy shit. Love it.

Think (Leverage) - Conditional - This is a cute file for sure! I will say that I have encountered a lot of Ghost Notes in the intro. But aside from that, the 32nds needs a lot of variety in it. Other than that, fix those two issues and it'll be good to go :thumbs_up:
Update: Better~ Accepted

CYCLE HIT (DokiNabi, DRMIw & DarkZtar) - Accepted - Oh shit, this is some fun stuff. Interesting how you guys managed to mesh three different charting ideals into one song. Loved it.

Tsuki ni Samayou Yumegatari (suicidaln00b) - Accepted - Baller file. Nothing worth noting of error. Fun stuff~

empire club (Riktoi) - Rejected - I don't know...it just feels like you made the chart just for the sake of it. There's a lack of identity in the file and nothing that overall gave meaning to chart. It's not a bad chart in general, but its not a memorable chart in the long run.

WAWA (Thrashkick Flip By m1dy) (Dourgent & Sheenoboo) - Accepted - Yeah, this is totally a low 20 :B

Into the Void v2 (Dourgent) - Accepted - Hi. This is actually fun, and totally not an ironic song choice considering the pack name.

Nocturne (GJYYNGII) - Rejected - As I already told you privately,needs a lot of checking in terms of sync

Punisher (GJYYNGII) - Rejected - This file will need a major overhaul, but that much I mentioned to you in DMs as well

Treasure Planet (GJYYNGII) - Conditional - One of two files that you realistically have a shot at getting a file in here. Make a harder chart for it and if its good, I'll put it in. :thumbs_up:

Vultures (GJYYNGII) - Rejected - A lot of missing potential for this to be a great file sadly :< Already mentioned the reasons to you privately.

Years of Aural Research Have Provided This Data (GJYYNGII) - Conditional - Just like Treasure Planet, make a harder chart, this is the other file that I told you that realistically has a shot in being in the pack. You have potential, just keep working on it and you'll make great charts one day :thumbs_up:

Dysnomia (DarkZtar) - Accepted - Dropdead welcomes you with open arms as one of the two wackiest files in the pack.

Force of Light (DarkZtar) - Accepted - Man, this song takes me back yo. Old school js file feels right here.

Forest Interlude (Leverage) - Conditional - Cute file. But, the long notes have to be cut considerably (the really long ones). The grave notes would be cute on a dump but it feels off on this sort of chart as well. And clean up on your PR a bit with layering all over the place lol. But once you fix those up, should be good to go.

I Know the Truth (DMRIw) - Rejected - Already discussed it with you in DMs on Discord and already told you about it. Other than that, a file from three years ago, that's impressive to say the least.

Woarh This Is Slow M8 (Kaho) - Rejected - This song left my ears bleeding for a second. File's not bad but holy fuck the audio quality is abrasive. Also, we already have a meme song quota that was met.

I'm not opposed to making a harder one, I was gonna anyways.

Blame dingles for making me step such a shitty song lmao.

Jokes aside, honestly wasn't even planning on releasing this chart anywhere 'till you mentioned the pack, so the fact its even conditional is more than it was gonna get otherwise <3

Re: [Submissions Open] The Void

lul but i love the moans

**James May** · 02-20-2018, 10:58 PM

Re: [Submissions Open] The Void

Might review the new submissions on Thursday. Not sure yet. Might put a file or two of mine into the pack pool and see if it fits in.

Cheers,
James May
