Valex's Magical 4-Arrow Adventure 2

http://www.mediafire.com/?bk1cjmk4set04o2

Well golly gee I hope you like simfiles because a whole bunch are coming your way!!!

So as you can see I made a bunch of charts. I really like these; I've learned a lot about stepping and Stepmania science since my first pack, and it really shows in these charts; it's a HUGE improvement over my first pack (I can't even really look at my first pack without puking many times) The song selection is really varied, and there's all kinds of different charts in here, so you'll probably find something you like. And if you don't find anything you like, that's cool too. I'm pretty confident you'll find something though.

All charts have full difficulties and Valex-made graphics, which are ugly but have my own personal touch (plus i wanted to practice making them in the hopes that eventually I will make good ones) The pack banner in particular is meant to continue the Magical 4-Arrow Adventure tradition of barf banners with unicorns, which is a tradition I just made now.

Check out these FRESH JAMZ:


Alias - Rameses B - Dubstep - 1/4/7/9/10

WUBSTEP. I found this song from ReRave and stepped it soon after. Because it's FILTHY DIRTY WUBSTEP, expect bounce/stop gimmicks.


Battle vs. Giratina - Hitomi Sato, Junichi Masuda - Distortioncore - 1/5/6/9/13

Pokemon music is good for stepping apparently!! This made for some cool charts. Expert's an easier 13 (possibly a 12) and has some tough shit going on; lots of broken 16th stream and even one part with 24th drills, which, at 185 BPM, is easy for Mad Matt but tough for humans. Hard has some crossover-filled 8th streams which are pretty rad I guess.


Byakuya Gentou - Nekomata Master - Forest Snow 2 - 1/3/6/8/10

The sequel to Tsukiyuki ni mau hana you ni from my last pack (I miss the days when I had that title memorized) Expert is basically babby's first footspeed file; lots of 32nds and 24ths, but it's 128 BPM and none of the bursts are longer than like 3 notes so it's not actually hard. Hard gets rid of the bursts anyway though.


Color - Clazziquai - Electronica - 1/3/5/8/9

I stepped a lot of DJMAX songs for this pack. This is one of them. Expert is a good warmup file cause it has lots of 16th at 120 BPM. There's also BPM tricks, but they're pretty simple.


Creepin Up On You - Darren Hayes - Epic Love Ballad - 1/2/5/7/13

This is truly a file for the ages. Darren Hayes serenades the object of his affection with some beautiful lyrics, telling her how he "visits all the stores where you buy all your clothes" and "visits secrets place you think nobody knows" To accent the beauty of his lyrics, I added in some very unique steps so that you can't zone out, you have to constantly be on your toes, just like the girl Darren Hayes is singing about probably is. Expert is a joke chart, and has 24th streams, the new revolution of dumpstreaming. Hard is the "real" chart for this but it's a 7 so fuck that shit. There's a VERY noticeable cut error in here but it's hilarious so I left it in (it's a joke file anyway fuck it)


Dirt Devil - zircon - Kefka Jamz - 1/3/5/7/10

zircon usually makes good steppable songs, and this is not an exception!! There's lots of interesting rhythms in this song, so Expert's got 12ths, 16ths, 24ths, and 32nds all mashed together to make what is basically a Skittles mixed drink.


Eight - Emotional Joystick - IDM - 1/4/7/9/11

TEAM IDMCORE HELL YEEEEE. Mad old keyboard file that I gave some cool pad steps. Expert just has a lot of 16ths, though they're all in sorts of cool rhythms (thanks to IDMCORE)


four-leaf - Sis Bond Chit - Rock - 1/4/6/8/11

Cool song from IIDX Gold (why would I add more than one o? That's silly) Expert is a pretty stamina draining 11; the 16ths just DON'T STOP, except for the places where they do stop. Still pretty tough though, I debated making it a 12.


Funky Dealer - Hideki Naganuma - Hip-Hop - 1/4/5/9/10

Hideki Naganuma makes some cool shit; this song's from Jet Set Radio Future, a game I've never played (and likely will never play) There's a shitload of things going on in this song at basically all times, but I think I did a good job at making good charts to it, though there's a few points in the Expert chart where you might have to feel the notes a little. It's fun though


Heart of Witch - ReX - Classical Trance - 1/4/5/9/12

More DJMAX swag comin' yo way. Expert's got a shitload of 16th streams (which should come as no surprise if you know the song) but it also has some cool slowdowns and intentional doublestepping to make it more than just dumpstream shit. If you're not a beast, you're in luck; Hard's fun too!


Imma Be - The Black Eyed Peas - Hip-Hop - 1/4/6/7/9

I make no guarantees that the middle section is synced. I didn't sync it, and it felt synced when I tested it, but I can't be 100% sure; I tried syncing it using the waveform but it didn't really work lol. The charts are fun though! Good warmup file, and plus you can get some ghetto ass by playing this. Oh god those graphics


In My Dream - ND Lee - Mental Metal - 1/2/6/9/12

Haha this file. Expert is really, really obnoxiously technical; there's some rad guitar soloing going on throughout, and I follow it to the letter, resulting in mad rainbow notes. An easier 12, but a tough one to score on. If you don't like technical shit like this then uh play Hard I guess


Keys to the World - Planetboom - Planet Core - 1/4/5/8/9

One of DJMAX's most popular songs (I think) If you like stepjumps, you should play Expert, cause it's filled with them. They're actually very fun on pad, or at least they look fun. I tried this on pad once and I died in the really step-jump heavy part but I did a shitload of hard songs beforehand and I was playing on a shitty Ignition and also I'm fat. But enough about me; this file is rad, play it.


La Campanella - Nu Rave - cranky - Symphonic Rave - 2/3/6/9/10

So I submitted this to the infamous Dancing Fools pack a little while ago. That actually wound up hurting this file's reputation haha, oops! It's more DJMAX basically, cool song and cool charts. There's a bunch of parts in this song where it's just instruments playing on their own and there's not really following the beat, so expect mad rainbows there on pretty much all difficulties. Shoutouts to Sargon, cause I stole all the rhythms for this off his file, haha. You rock!


Mea Culpa - The Human Abstract - Prog Metalcore - 1/5/7/9/13

The Human Abstract is a good band, and this is a good song with good charts. Expert's pretty tough. I considered submitting it to Tachyon Gamma, but I didn't because Matt'd probably just be bored by it haha. Expect jacks, 220 BPM streams, and a cool triplet breakdown part.


Nebula Grasper - L.E.D. - Psychedelic Trance - 1/3/5/9/11

Classic jam from IIDX Red (it makes me feel old that we're up to IIDX 19 cause I remember when Happy Sky was new, but that's not the point) Expert is very 16th heavy throughout, but there's lots of cool and varied rhythms. I also actually really like the way Hard came out here, so don't be ashamed of playing it, I promise I won't judge you.


Rage of Demon - NieN - Nu-Metal - 1/5/8/10/12

This is kind of a silly song, but I like it anyway! It's the closest thing to metal in DJMAX, so that makes it kind of cool. Expert is really only a 12 because of one part where you stream 196 BPM for like 4 measures, other than that it's pretty simple, pretty cool though. This was also submitted to the aforementioned Dancing Fools pack, and was considered as my entry to r21Freak's Comp IV. It's had quite a history!!!!


Rainspark - Sanxion7 - Trance - 1/3/5/6/9

Look at me, I'm stepping a Sanxion7 song that isn't EternuS. I'm so cool! Expert is a fairly basic 9 footer, but I really like the patterns I used throughout, so check that funky shit.


Rainy Days - Cy-Ro - Eurobeat - 1/3/5/7/9

This was my entry to r21Freak's Comp VI; I placed 13th with this, which I'm pretty happy with. I would have placed higher, but Blazing hates me (and puppies) I incorporated all of the feedback from that comp into this, so it's basically a perfect file now. The song is pretty interesting; it's Eurobeat, but it runs at 125 BPM! Evidently there was a revolution in the Super Eurobeat series where they decided to SLOW THE FUCK DOWN and write slower songs. I don't actually know, I just jacked this song from a DDR chart. Song's mad cool though, even if you're not really into Eurobeat; the cheese factor is pretty low (if you ignore the lyrics)


Resonate 1794 - KOHTA - Hard Sonata - 1/2/6/8/12

So a long time ago I wrote a DDR-style chart to this. For this pack I touched up those charts, gave it an expert chart, added some gimmixXxXxX, and threw it in here. The end result is pretty badass. Expert's got some hardcore 16th streams, so watch out for those, and pay attention to the art mines and holds used throughout because I spent a long time on those goddamnit.


Umbral Ultimatum - Toby "Radiation" Fox - Orchestral Okami Speedcore lite - 1/4/8/10/13

Rad file up in here. This song is taken from Homestuck, in which 4 kids play a game that ends the world and then they meet 12 alien kids with obnoxious typing quirks which are called "trolls" and thus are cool cause they reference an internet thing (if you've seen people on the internet with avatars of kids with gray skin, orange horns, and zodiac symbol shirts, it's one of those alien kids) It is also my favorite webcomic, and the only one that has full-on flash movies. This file is pretty tough; Expert's got some hardcore 191 BPM 16th bursts and 24th drill action (which are actually 32nds in the music but I simplified them to make the file not retarded). It looks pretty tough haha. Enjoy it!


Voyage - makou - Broken Beat - 1/2/4/7/10

Here's a song from DJMAX everyone hates except for me! Expert is pretty light on the steps, but it's pretty technical throughout, due to the whole broken-beatness of the song. Plus it's got some technical flute solo steps (flute solos are the best solos, this is a fact)


We Need A Hero! - Adraen - Breakcore - 1/5/7/8/11

This file is kind of repetitive and I kind of wonked up the cut. It's a really cool song though, and the steps are basically the best you can get for it, so play it anyway! (Oops banner's the wrong size I'll fix that eventually maybe)


White - Detach versus Mantis - IDM - 1/4/8/10/13

This file is kind of obnoxious as fuck haha. The rhythms are all over the place and the song's really busy throughout, so the steps kind of wound up being really technical, all while using exclusively 16th notes. Especially the Expert, oh god the Expert. I'm totally into that shit though, so as such this is, in my mind, an excellent file. Play it.


Wiping All Out - Lotus Juice, Mayumi Fujita - Funk Rock - 1/3/6/7/9

This song is from Persona 3 Portable; it's the battle music when you play as a ~girl~. It's at least as good as Mass Destruction, though there's a distinct lack of BABY BABY BABY. Expert has lots of crossovers that don't really exhibit proper Stepmania science but are still fun as hell so I kept them in. The graphics are really ugly, sorry about that I tried making good ones and I didn't succeed!


You've Got 2 Get Me - Sota Fujimori feat. RIO - Tech Rock - 1/3/6/8/12

Sota files are very popular, so I figured I'd throw my metaphorical hat into the metaphorical ring and try to step one. Expert is very technical; it follows the drums and guitar to the letter, which makes for some wonky rhythms, haha. Very cool song though, and the chart looks really fun and I wish I could pass it.

GET HYPE (haha just kidding it's already here)
As always, reviews are greatly appreciated

Let's play it!

Thx.
