Re: Simfiles

Step a song that is relatively slow. Don't step M1dy or Dragonforce songs for your first simfile.

Re: Simfiles

HEH Holy Thunderforce is a Dragonforce song, not Rhapsody?

Re: Simfiles

My bad.

Oh well, whatever, accuracy wasn't the point of that post.

Rhapsody, Dragonforce, fantasy power metal, same ****

Re: Simfiles

Step a song that naturally leads to interesting patterns and rhythms and thus an interesting simfile. If it's a rock song or otherwise recorded live make sure the bpm is constant; wavering bpms are something you want to avoid for your first few files because you have to juggle syncing and pattern making, and it's a huge timesink.

Get the gap and bpm right with 0.3x rate, assist tick and autoplay then check it once more at the end, running through the entire file like that to ensure every pattern is spot-on.

Think about what kind of patterns you're making. You want to relay to the player a feeling of emulating the song, so be consistent (if the same part of music comes up step it the same way and continue to do so until there's reason to change, and also think about things like repeating the same column for the same pitch locally or globally, always giving one note/a jump/a hold to a particular sound when you step it, et cetera)

Also, don't be worried if your first simfile feels lackluster. Everyone improves over their simfiling career.

edit: oh god you wanted songs to step not advice

step some vsnares lol
