Mr. Vain

    What can I say about this one? A total classic hit from the early 90s, I remember listening to this one quite a bit, and still love it after so many years. Funny how I'd be stepping it more than 15years later.
    Anyway, I found this DDR cut some time ago, which was way too tempting, and the Revisited contest made me go for it. The charts focus more on fun step patterns than challenging ones, even though all of them have their tricky bits, which become easily doable after some practice. I like this file a lot, and have lots of fun playing it on pad, I hope you do too, as well.


    v2 UPDATE FOR BEST of BEST-MIX Artists Pack:

    After recently doing quite a bit of simwork for the Final BEST-MIX, I felt like I could tackle some more. I've been told that Mr.Vain was one of my best old works (that wasn't already submitted to a BEst-Mix contest or pack, that is), but I couldn't fully agree with that. To be honest, while I like what I did back in the day, I felt lacked a bit further polishment and I was never fully satified with how the second half turned out once the chorus kicks in. It is time to clean it up, and for good I think.
    Regarding the update, there's quite a few tweaks and modifications on all of the charts, mostly concentrated on the second half of the song to add more movement and improve flow. Some complex rhythms have been replaced to make for better balance (Heavy was the main sufferer of this problem).
    I think I'm happy with the end result now, as it feels more well balanced overall. The file remains focused on the fun factor, but has some difficulty spikes here and there (except maybe for Oni, which did turn out slightly more technical). I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
