What makes a good simfile?

[DarkRazor]

Hey guys. Before you actually lock/whatever this thread, read through the post. So, some guy was being immature about my Identity Part 3 simfile, saying that it sucked ass. First off, take a look at my file.

Now, I've read through ducky's thread about making a simfile, and I believe I've followed most of his guidelines reasonably without overlayering the song. So could anyone tell me why the simfile actually "SUCKS ASS"? I don't see why it does. Sure, it's not perfect, it's far from it, but I definitely think that it doesn't suck as much as that guy says it does.

Re: What makes a good simfile?

I ended up just making my own chart, since I've always wanted to step it anyway. Tell me what you think of http://www.yousendit.com/download/Y2...QzdJMHRFQlE9PQ (heavy's yours, oni's mine)

Re: What makes a good simfile?

LOL...you got mad over one guys comment?

>_> only noobs download in the simfile database so you shouldn't really pay attention to them.Sadly everyone has a voice.(be it a gay one or not is just natural.)

I mean someone uploaded tophs nemesis sim and some dumb noob said it didnt follow the music at all. O_O idiots.

If you want a real critique send it to a more experienced person to judge it for you =/

[Patashu]

Re: What makes a good simfile?

actually, if you didn't know what was going on you -wouldn't- think it was following the music

nemesis is pretty trick-ay

and it's not like the notes are colour-coded or anything you have to -know- that the file is being layered and then figure out which ones and how

[leadafro]

Re: What makes a good simfile?

True. To a noob with no skill and a bad ear it will look like pretty blur of arrow fireworks.

I wasn't really mad, more like kinda annoyed and puzzled why'd he leave a comment without explaining it. :/ Anyway Kidthong had already replied to me, so prblem solved

EDIT: Patashu I played though your chart and to me, it felt kinda weird at certain places, especially the 32nd stream at the end. I guess we all have different ideas about stepfiles ;p Anyway my chart was geared towards the less skilled players, the original chart was full of long jacks and bs 32nd jumpstream so I toned it down quite abit

Re: What makes a good simfile?

okay maybe some actual critique then
m13-20: why do you ignore some of the 16ths?
m20-21: you can't step a single instrument with jumps like that and you stepped it wrong anyway so nyaaa
m29: goes into a minijack instead of out of one
end of m33 and beginning of m35: what does the 16th triplet go to? then you miss one at the beginning of m36
m37: you step a cymbol crash with a minifreeze. while that's fine and all this is the only time you've done it like that so far
just before and during m40: got some 16ths wrong here again
middle of m45: you step it with single minifreezes then immediately go back to using jumps hmmmm
just before m48: to be consistent with the surroundings that lone red note ought to be a jump
m50, 52, 54: the first yellow note should be blue and I dunno what's up with those 32nd slidy things
around the beginning of m62: missed some 16ths
m64: missed a 16th again also the snare drum fill is -not- that pattern seriously
around the beginning of m73: going into minijacks instead of out of them
m74: you don't step the 'bounce' of the sound with a pink hold like you did the last time it happened
m75: what's up with the roll thing didn't feel like using 32nds?

dun
ps would you like my chart if I un-handed it

I can see most of the mistakes you spotted >.> makes me wonder why I didn't spot them while I was checking and playing through, I was probably sleepy since I did it at 3 in the morning

ps would you like my chart if I un-handed it

I think the chart is fine as it is, i like playing hands ;p except the quads at M49,51,53 and 55 feel weird for some reason

[Patashu]

Re: What makes a good simfile?

they're quads because there's a cymbol crash at the same time

yeah I wasn't too sure about them either

[DarkRazor]

Re: What makes a good simfile?

Idk lol, I didn't notice the cymbol crashes until I listened to the music very closely, most people aren't going to notice it without taking a good look at the chart, lol
