Damn, snubbed out of third place. Sad

Quote: Telperion
This week's theme is:
[Duet]
The track's melody must be carried by two separate people; each of them should get some airtime alone.
"Duet" means "two".
The separate airtime must be represented in the cut.
Vocaloids and other synthesized vocals are OK.

Fixed some things in the Standard chart. Re-download the .sm if you want the updated version. (Click jacket)

Also, I made a video featuring all the difficulties (a delaywailing-esque video) which I will get uploaded and share in this thread tomorrow at some point. I originally had it done yesterday, but it was kind of glitchy and part of one of the difficulties was cut off. So I decided to re-render the video. Hopefully there won't be any problems this time around.

I got the video up! It's a lot less glitch-y. I thought it might be helpful for those who don't want to actually play the lower charts.



I have my ideas for a song for this week.

On another note, can someone do a pack update? I only have a couple of [12ths Week] entries downloaded so far.

HM's: 8-Bit Superhero (Eptic Remix), ride, Aurora, Machine Gun (16Bit Remix)

RAMBLINGS
Chronoxia: This is just flawless, nothing bad to say about it and im glad we have files like yours that arent just a cluster-fuck of 12ths. I love 12th notes but they get boring when abused in a chart so its nice to see some variation with the rhythms.

Taiko March: Now I absolutely loved the Heavy chart a lot more than the Challenge bc idk why but I felt like there was something with the placement that was really throwing me off and having me face a certain side too much (but then again im a ditzy-fuck so ignore me and my comments).

Chocolate Philosophy: God I love this haha it reminds me of what I had in mind for this week originally haha but im saving it for later, the song was just really uplifting and fun even though it did get repetitive with the 12ths and some of the 8th notes came off as a bit weird but still quite enjoyable. Big Grin

ひみつの言葉: This is just too cute (the gay inside of me has me jumping around like the biggest queer to this) and the steps are just so fun and I loved the hands. Everything just came off as playful and fun and I love it.

Break Free: Ok I have one problem with this file which I honestly tend to also have with your other files, in a lot of your files you tend to just use very repetitive and bland patterns limiting movement and in all honesty it would make your files a lot more fun it you broke out of that habit. I love your files, the rhythms are fun to follow and some of the patterns can be nice but I always just tend to get a bit bored bc they do tend to get really repetitive.

Not sure what this really means or how to fix it. Send me a PM?

Anyway, I have a couple ideas for this week. I should be able to get a file out this week.

Second place? Wow, thanks! It's great that people are enjoying my file. Big Grin
Votes are here!
PM for comments and stuff. This is one of the toughest weeks to judge; the top-rankers' files are almost indistinguishable in quality.

+5: ride [xRGTMx]
Damn. Loving the BPM changes. Very well done!
+4: Machine Gun (16Bit Remix) [Gameoson]
Very interesting rhythm. The changes between 8ths and 12ths are really exciting, and the footswitches... Man, I gotta take notes on this one.
+3: Chronoxia [Silverhawke]
Super intense! Definitely very fun to play. Hope to see more 12ths, though.
+2: Taiko March [mf32892]
That ending is very... confusingly epic? Epicly confusing? Whatever it is, I have to play your Challenge chart at .75× rate to get what's happening. (Yeah, I'm not that fast.) Great job!
+1: Latch (feat. Sam Smith) [Astroman129]
The steps feel really light and are actually enjoyable.

Honourable Mentions:
• ひみつの言葉 [Lisek]
This file is really cheerful. I like the hands.
• ADRENALINE [DDRDAIKENKAI]
Fun crossovers! (PS: Happy 100th post!)
• four pieces of heaven [Scarz]
Nice speedups and slowdowns, and very intense too.
• SAVIOR SWING [brunobg24]
3/4 time AND 12ths? Great song choice! Steps are good.
• 8-Bit Superhero (Eptic Remix) [Spork!]
Would have given points if not because of this one: (left is what yours is, right is what should have been)

Absolutely. I tried it the way you showed it and it felt really wrong for some reason, so I went with the 16ths. I listen to my gut a lot, though it tends to lead me astray (and towards spicy food).

Duet is a great idea for this week's theme. Would a mashup be allowed? I'm thinking no, because the same melody wouldn't be carried by two different people; rather it would be two people singing two different melodies in the same key. But I thought I should ask just in case because I don't have any duets that would be good candidates to turn into a simfile.

I didn't think about this. Duets are songs in which two vocalists take part, so mashups would count under that definition. But the theme description explicitly states "melody."

I was wondering if this means both mashups and rap/sung collaborations aren't allowed.

I asked Telperion if I could do BUILD-UP from Beatmania 4thMIX and the answer to that was no, based on the fact that neither vocalist really sings the melody.

I hope this [sorta] answers the question.

So I guess that means Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly) is out, but Do What U Want (feat. Xtina) is allowed.

"btor2osly"
To clear things up a little:
* If you have questions regarding what constitutes a "melody", look it up. Wikipedia's sort of over-descriptive, but you could start there. Keep in mind that a rap rarely constitutes a melodic line.
* FORWARD - "BUILD-UP" contains three vocal samples (one atonal), but it's a stretch to call them "vocalists", especially considering that the synths have the main melodic lines. You have better options Smile
* We confirmed in the chat that both Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly) and Do What U Want (feat. Xtina) are both allowed.
* Mashups are covered under the definition, although keep in mind that you only get two vocalists total.
