You gotta be patient in this forum, especially if you're not a well-known artist. It can sometimes take days for people to respond. I'll edit this after I download.

I haven't been playing stepmania for long (about 3 months) and frankly I have never made a stepfile soooo my opinion may not matter to you much. I do know this... there were a lot of sounds, however there weren't a lot of steps, especially for a marathon song. I do feel you could've done quite a bit more with it. I did like your creativity, actually using bpm changes and using 48th notes(i believe they were 48th notes, not quite sure). Don't be afraid to use air, just don't go overboard with it. It felt to me there were quite a few places you couldve put some jumps in. There were a few times where the arrows didnt seem to match the music... not sure if it's that I have bad hearing or something, unless people agree with me. Overall, I thought it was pretty good for a first sim but I just feel you could also do a lot more with it.

thanks for the input. yea, there was one part that could have used a bit of redoing.. i just forgot to change it before i posted. The low number of steps is cause I was going for following the song, rather than makeing it real hard. I guess i could have amped up the jumps a bit =P

I liked what you were doing with it and enjoyed the song, but as NuclearShadow said it definately could have used a few more arrows in there and it just wasn't synced up quite right in parts, most notably that long yellow arrow part near the end. I would suggest going back and playing it with assist tick on and at .5 music speed (it's on the second option screen you can go to right before the song starts) and listening to it to see for yourself. All in all though, a valiant attempt for a first simfile.

Well, I AA'd it first try. You want it hard enough where the experts will also play it. The beginners will get better and they won't want to play easy songs anymore. You might want to make challenge steps for it and leave the heavy steps for the less experienced players. By the way I believe you can just copy the heavy steps to the challenge stepchart and then from there you could edit it and make it a little harder, instead of starting from scratch.
