Head over to the FFR Batch Forum for all the details on how you can get your file into the game. The Artist Permissions forum section will help you find out if FFR has permission to use the song your file goes with.
Babylon- wow parts of this are sort of okay but there's a bunch of really confusing layering along with unneccessary freezes, misrhythms, and wow difficulty keeps on spiking up and down randomly. At least it wasn't so boring I quit out--this is a cool song, is it something Shiki made recently?
classic 4- not too bad actually. was decently fun in an old-school way. jacks are pitch-wise correct but break the flow of this file. that triple freeze going on [123] at the beginning (twice) is better left as a jump to avoid awkwardness. actually this song has so little bombast it'd be better just to take hands out altogether. I don't see this file getting into this pack but it could be a pretty good file with some work.
DEMY- quit out of this. seriously I'm sorry but I'm getting really bored of this t+pazolite fad. some parts in the beginning were pretty fun but then it turned into something straight out of a bad Kkrusty file and I quit out.
End Time- that does it. I'm restepping this. as for this file, it's not too bad although I quit out once you put that 24th trill. mines in the beginning aren't too bad although there is one that is a little bit too close to a piano note for comfort (check that part again), otherwise they're sort of abused.
Fire Leo SYRINX- not too fun and not too great technically, but I'd rather see a file like this over something like DEMY or Untouchable Pariah. you're very solid technically usually, so this honestly feels kind of lazy because of how many blatant misrhythms and misplaced hand/jumps there are in here. I doubt even if it was going for something out of a Kil file that it really worked. that being said, this could be solid with a lot of work. ps make sure your freezes don't interfere with the rest of your layering
King Dedede Battle- it's not bad at all but probably not pack worthy. also I noted a few slight inconsistencies in layering but you really have to be paying attention to notice them.
Metal Squad- very nice reused graphics lmao. complete contrast to the other SSH file; this is great. awesome song and good file. layering is much much more easy to follow and the 10492390 freezes don't interfere much and have a cool feel to them. one small error in the final guitar solo and one small error after that with consistency on percussion layering but this is the only file I'm accepting this batch thus far.
Night- *ahem*
Red Hot Skull- make that two files I'm accepting this batch. only real complaint is that some of the short freezes going to guitar are sort of unneeded/superfluous/etc.
Ska de In Your Face trumaestro- actually, I'll go out on a limb here and say trumaestro's is better. this one isn't bad either but personally I think this doesn't really feel like I'm playing the song
Red Hot Skull- make that two files I'm accepting this batch. only real complaint is that some of the short freezes going to guitar are sort of unneeded/superfluous/etc.
i'll fix some of the freezes since i already thought i had way too many to begin with.
(Ninzaburo) Babylon
Column 1 Bass on singles is weird and doesn't feel right. As Moches' mentioned in his review, there's a difficulty inconsistency. Holds were all pretty random. Rejected
(Ninzaburo) End Time
Good song but still this file does not do justice. Noticed that column 1 bass again which bothers me (even if it is just one section). Didn't like your mine usage at all. Layering is all over the place. Rejected
(Cyrenics) Ska de Chocobo!!
A lot of your hand usage is too intense. Jumps with mini-freezes would fit better. There's inconsistency with your hold usages. Semi-climax theory at the end which was pretty OK. Found this too repetitive and generic to warrant an accept. Rejected
(Moches) Night
Typical Moches file. Well structured however it's too generic and drags on for me so I can't say yes to this. The only thing I found interesting were the BPM gimmicks near the end other than that this file doesn't offer much. Rejected
(Samurai7694) Classic 4 Pop'n Music
Hands are too intense for the song. Better to leave them as jumps. This is actually pretty well structured and layered however I wouldn't warrant this pack worthy because it doesn't offer much. Would be a good file for some other pack but not for Xoon 5. Rejected
(trumaestro) King Dedede Battle
Short and straightforward however not pack worthy. Would be a good file for some other pack but not for Xoon 5. Rejected
(Ferrari) Red Hot Skull
Well structured. Enjoyable and unique chill file. As Moches mentioned, there's some minor freeze abuse with the mini-freezes. Accepted.
(Scylaax) DEMY
You step too much t+pazolite, rofl. I quit out of this due to the dumpy patterns and how generic this was. Rejected
(Scylaax) Fire Leo Syrinx
As Moches mentioned, there's layering errors and inconsistencies. Not bad but needs work. Rejected.
(Scylaax) Metal Squad
Cool metal arrange. Well structured and layered. Only small complaint is the percussion layering when you transition from that to the guitar solo and then back again. It doesn't really feel right. Nonetheless, I'll pass this. Accepted.
(Sargon) Remember
There are some errors/inconsistencies with jump and hand layering which confused me in a bunch of spots because it's all over the place. The mini-freezes that layer the higher pitched piano bugged me (I did the same thing in my Colors of Sorrow file and that didn't turn out well). Overall layering and structure is good and the song is cool. I could see this getting into the pack with some fixes. Rejected for the time being.
demy: this isn't fun at all. sure it may be technically impressive but. yeah. reject
syrinx: i feel like i'm playing the same rhythm over and over. stream with rainbow notes come in, quit out. reject
king dedede battle: shoulda been in kirby pack 2. file is good, but this pack is a little more high tier. file is also piss easy till the end haha. reject
metal squid: way to use your original metal squad gfx lmao. file drags on a bit with the 8th note parts but you respected the solo theory. file's p.coul. light accep
remember: as a 1-2 on dcp scale, this was fantastic. very chill file. accep
red hot skull: auto accep
night: found this pretty boring tbh. easy and nothing really thrilling. sry mate. reject
so today i realized how steppable the sonic adventure ost is
i might step one more song from it.. i want at least three files in this pack so i have more out there since my released sim library is incredibly small
Aight I fixed everything up, there's just one thing ya need to know

- Measure 20, the [34] jumps can be hands or jumps with mini-freezes. There's an inconsistency with how you layered because the first two are mini-rolls while the other two are 32nd jacks. I don't know what you were trying to do there. Also why is the first set of mini-rolls 32nds while the second set 48ths? It's the exact same sound being played.
