Re: Xoon 3 Released

The whole damn pack is complete **** I think people need to stop stepping to their own damn play style for a change. I am not a spread player and my keyboard does not register 3 keys at ****ing once. Also **** your god damn jumpstreams.

Re: Xoon 3 Released

Well it's true there is no middle ground anymore it's either completely ****ing hard or you can AAA with one finger. I just want some good old fashioned streams again maybe even some index stuff. I hate the fact that I deleted all my older files because they were so much better than what's getting flushed down today.

Re: Xoon 3 Released

play FFR R1

e: great idea btw. let's all step files that we can't enjoy because they're too easy. ShAiOnEi must be catered to

edit: OH if you want easy files go to r21freak.com and download the pad packs there (cosmic blah blah blah, 16th stream circlejerk, etc) grate streamz

I'm just blowing steam it's my fault for jumping off the wagon and not practicing to get better but either way I can't play these new files.

Re: Xoon 3 Released

well technically you can. Yesssss or bynary fission are one-hand players with crazy scores to their name

you could look into a keyboard or key configuration that accepts quads, I know they exist

I don't like feast of eternity

Re: Xoon 3 Released

well... the pack is for spreaders and you don't play spread, what do you expect.

I recommend you to play Nageki No Ki [A], it's easy as **** I can AA it on drunk + s.shuffle.

Re: Xoon 3 Released

Re: Xoon 3 Released

first full review hehe

Ferrari
Alive- Bad song, decent file. Nothing really wrong overall. 3/5
Monstrous Turtles- Good song but not too good to step because some parts are unbalanced but for what the song has to offer it was a respectable job. Didn’t like some of the transitions but whatever. 3.25/5

Gundam Dude
Candy Gossum- Generic, but okay other than some terrible stream patterns that killed my arms. Nothing I’d want to replay. 2/5
Plain Asia- Great song but pretty underwhelming file; this could have been much better. 2/5

I love gabba
Hand Throw- To borrow a line from Melissa Rivers, “No.” 1.5/5
Wizard Noob Finale- 32nds at the beginning are terrible. Rest seems okay other than some misplaced notes, hands, etc. Make sure you know how your file flows; it'll help you a lot. 2.5/5

Kommisar + MacGravel
Subterranean Kamikaze- Holy crap this file is great. A little easy-ish, but simple, fun and good for scoring. 4.25/5

Kommisar
Cirno’s Perfect Math Class- It’s an okay file, but a bad song. Felt some parts were a little annoying to hit: maybe the song just got to me. 3/5
Feast For Eternity- Seemed okay but had a lot of freezes that seemed like you didn't really need them...didn't play all the way through either, got bored :/ 2.5/5
fffff- Jacks. Feels like an easier version of I’m so drunk; certainly memorable, unique, and surprisingly fun. 4.25/5
Garyo- I actually like this a lot even though it’s sort of generic; this is pretty fun and scoreboard worthy. 4/5
Heart of Witch- Not exactly memorable but enjoyable. Nothing wrong with it. 3.5/5
Saddest Remix- Definitely memorable, plenty of replay potential. Feels just about nailed other than some parts that are a tad bit obnoxious. 4.25/5
Tigre Bianca- I’d enjoy this more if I liked the song and the file was a bit harder. As it is, there’s just not any incentive to play it. 2/5

Malice
Shadow Queen Battle- One-play file; nothing really sparks enough interest to go back and play this all the way through again. The beginning is cool but the middle is just so boring I quit out every time. Sorry Malice, this file is a miss. 2/5

moches
D-Code- I reviewed my file Straightforward and bland, although there’s some variety. Good for beginners or people who just want to learn basics of layering through example I guess, but otherwise there’s not really a reason to play this. 2.5/5
evergreen- I actually like this a lot other than some gay random jacks and maybe a few parts where I compromised rhythms. 3.5/5
Roar- It’s awesome, hehe. Beginning is simple but well-constructed, middle section rules, ending is clean other than a double jack which kind of breaks flow. I still think this is my best file and apparently so does everybody else (other than Roar and wakassjak quit breaking the flow guys) XD 4.25/5
Romancecar- Pretty okay file I guess, simple stuff. 3.25/5
Society of Nonconformists- Proof that files don’t need to be full of color notes and freezes to be enjoyable; this probably sounds superdouchy but I think along with Konamized/Rocket Flight this is one of the best Rushjet1 files out there. 3.5/5
I Banged All of Tokyo- Simple, x-Mod tricks, mines. That is all. 3.5/5

Mr. Bob
MOBO MOGA- Perfectly acceptable file, but a little repetitive (layering could have progressed a bit more to give it more of a climactic feel). Otherwise this flows well, feels clean and is enjoyable. 3.25/5
Night and Day- Fun, has some variety, flows well, climaxes well. No complaints other than some parts feel a little out-of-place. 4/5
Oratio- I’m pretty sure there’s only like one or two things in this that bother me and the rest is amazing, good ****ing job. This is one of my favorite files from any of the Xoon packs and maybe ever. 4.5/5
Shounen A- Generic but certainly bearable; beginning is quite cool. 3/5
Thrash- While creative, this really felt hard to play through simply because of how hard it was to read; I preferred Night & Day over this. It felt a lot more polished while this feels….sloppy. Don’t know how to describe it. Still sort of okay for scoring and the solo is fun. 2.75/5

NTM
Vadrum 1- Good first attempt, nice sync, enjoyable but nothing outstanding imo. 3.25/5
Vadrum 2- I enjoyed this a lot more than Vadrum 1, for…..I don’t know. You’ve just gotten better. All there is to it. Excellent job. 4/5

NTM + Scylaax
Malicious Fingers- Solos are okay, beginning was okay, rest of it was kind of “I’ll play through this to get to the next solo”. It’s not horrible but it lacks the oomph that you see in really great files. Nice try, though. 2.5/5

Patashu
FR&LG Final Battle- You just broke my fingers....ow. Hardass file with a ****load of jacks (arrgh!) but it was admittedly pretty cool for what it was. 3.25/5
Take This Life- I played through this finally. It’s an okay file I suppose; the chorus is actually very fun to tap out. 3.25/5

Puppet
Dazzling Destiny- I’m still not sure if I like this file or hate it. Basically averages out. 2.75/5
Over The Ocean- See Dazzling Destiny but this is a little better. 3/5
Szamar Madar- Your best file in the pack, imo. I never felt lost while I was playing this, and it was overall a great chart with some good moments. 4/5

Roar176
250BPM- Oh, my. Hardass Roar file time. This one just isn’t fun, sorry. Ibelieveyouthisistechnicallycorrect but I can’t play through it. 2/5
Contract- Same thing as 250BPM only it’s not technically correct all the time, some stream patterns are just plain stupid and it doesn’t feel balanced at all. Just all-around bad. Thankfully… 1.5/5
Danse Macabre- ….your other files were all pretty good. (And I like using ellipses.) This one’s a great file to tap out, fun and good for scoring. It’s generic but extremely good for what it is. 4/5
Nageki No Ki- Holy ****, that 24th stream at the end was killer. The rest seemed really well-made and I thought it was pretty fun. Tied with Scylaax but I’m deducting points for that ****ing stream which basically killed my score. 3.5/5
Pig Destroyer Destroyer- Repeated little sections sometimes which makes it feel a little repetitive but I never lost interest in the steps and seriously that was pretty fun 3.5/5
RoseHoliC- xMod fits, overall sort of repetitive but fun trippy file to a decent song. 3/5

Scylaax + Kommisar + evoli45
to Luv me I xxx for u- Wow. This was really fun. I’m surprised. 4.25/5

Scylaax
Epidermis- I played through it twice and I probably won’t play it ever again. It’s a perfectly acceptable file, but it doesn’t have enough to it to make me want to play it again, like, say Oratio or Nageki No Ki. Good for a VSnares song, average overall. 3/5
Knowing It- Beginning is boring rest is bearable but you seriously should have doubled the BPM as it would have fit a lot better. Solid tongue-in-cheek; that’s about it. 3/5
Nageki No Ki- Your best file. Everything seemed like you put a lot of thought into it. I would have liked to see less minifreezes as they seem a bit obvious, but overall it was a solid chart and I had fun. 4/5
Severing the Chains of Fate- Apparently this is the wrong .sm file. I won’t review it for now. N/A

Synexi
BLN- Just 16th notes for the most part but applies basics well enough and has some nice moments so I’ll give this one a pass. Probably great for a scoring file, but I like fffff better 3/5

Trance Core
Beautiful Angel- Almost completely off technically, but that was—I can’t believe it, by the way, decently fun to tap out. Technical score is 1/5, fun score is 4/5, averaged is…2.5/5

Vospi
deathkenkai- Technical score 2/5, fun score 2/5. Just no. I’m not a big fan of Vospi’s files (his earlier stuff is much more enjoyable than his PostSMG2 era files, imo.) However, the song is awesome. 2/5
video out e- See deathkenkai. 2/5

XoX
Johnny C. Bad- Your best file However, I still have a few issues with it. It feels like it just repeats sections sometimes (I’ve always had that problem with your files, usually due to song choice) and sometimes you drop instruments for a couple measures just to bring them back in again. That jack was just uncalled for too. Otherwise, I enjoyed this—keep it up! 3.5/5

zebdal
The earth blew up- This was okay until all those jacks came in. Okay, for one thing, at that speed, they’re not fun at all and just annoying. For another…uh…yeah, that’s basically it. Jacks ruined it. Maybe I’ll enjoy this if I practice a little more. 2/5

overall: Fun pack with some excellent files and a lot of the stepartists are getting better (Mr. Bob, me, Scylaax, XoX, NTM, Roar), but this suffers from the same problem Xoon2 did; the files are hit-and-miss for me. Some great files, some good, some average ones, the rest are sort of bad. I still think this is better than Xoon2 by a long, long shot, but we still have a ways to go to Xoon4. All in all, this is a well-made pack and I enjoyed it a lot.

also people should rate packs by rating threads. I give this pack 3.5 stars, but since there's no half-star rating, I'm bumping it up to 4 since Kommisar just rules.
