"Elsewhere known as borealis" |
No need to submit a skeleton this week? Great, because I don't have any ready, and the one I have is off-sync and sped up to sound like the live version (not for cut purposes, I assure you, but still sped up)
I'll try to make my [ROUND G] submission sensible and accessible. Looks like I might not be getting vetoed this week, so I'll pick files of similar accessibility.

Yabis Starlight / DAJI




I made the graphics this time around. They are somewhat inspired by the IIDX video with the space fighting and such. Either way, I'm proud of making them.
Hopefully the steps aren't too hard.
The voting is really close for this round. If Lisek votes, his preferences will likely be the deciding votes.

"Two milkmen go comedy" |
I find it unfortunate that this song had to be assigned to me, for it was a very nice song, and worthy of being stepped by a more compotent participant; also, there is no version specially designed for stepmania 5, even though the skeleton had an ssc file, so further apologies on that.
Below are my notes and my votes. Unfortunately, used to have Stepmania 5, but when I made attempts to modify the noteskin a long time ago, I somehow managed to make it so that even after uninstalling and reinstalling, it still does not work. As such, I cannot vote for the files exclusive to Stepmania 5 (FIGHT!, Go Beyond!), nor would I be able to examine them in my notes.

Dead Wrong- A nice song, along with some fun patterns. There are some parts I would have changed, but ultimately, this is nicely stepped.
Gatorix- Heavy chart has some good patterns going for it, though some inconsistency with applying the patterns. Challenge chart was similar in that aspect, though some 32nd notes near the end of the song would have been a nice touch.
Ghost Street (Mandarin Version)- The beginning of the heavy chart had too many 4th streams and understepped 8th patterns in my opinion; later on, while better 8th patterns began to appear, I was shocked at how missed opportunities you had to insert some 16th streams, leading to one of the few files of this contest with the hardest chart having no notes quantized beyond 8th notes.
Hopelessly Devoted to You- Decent chart, but the patterns are rather methodical and repetitive. I also think that the light chart should have had a few 12 notes (similar to the chart for Ballad for You), while the standard chart should have had a greater emphasis on gallops; however, I'm very glad that there is what's basically a 3-note 24th stream in the heavy chart. In addition, I am a large fan of the art choice of the submission, for it adds that lovely Japanese Yandere-esque touch to this Western-ballad.
New Horizons- Interesting that the song was created and stepped by the same person; the heavy chart is pretty nice, other than perhaps the lightly stepped part of measures 25-28.
Sapphire- An interesting bag-esque chart, and I liked the way the Heavy chart was stepped. however, the song felt a little lugubrious to trudge through, and I thought that tossing in some speed gimmicks (such as during the long freeze arrows of the standard chart) might help.
Say My Name- A decent chart, but should have used more 16th and 32nd streams, especially near the beginning.
Super Fantasy- Nice Gimmicks and nice chart, thought in the heavy chart, the triplet just before measure 55 is conducive to double stepping.
TAKE A LOOK AROUND- Nice charts and video sequence (plus, I really like this song), but I felt that the heavy chart should have ended with a jump, and that the challenge chart should have had more karaoke-stepping.

Can you grab the newest version of Stepmania 5 (5.0.10) and install it in a different directory like your Downloads folder? You should always keep Stepmania directories out of Program Files anyway, whether it's 5 or 3.9 (or anything else) whenever you have to change something, Windows nags if you have permission to do what, which causes problems in saving .sms/.sscs (I lost an entire custom BGScript because of this). I personally keep all of my Stepmania installs in my Downloads folder. I have about 8 in there, each for my own reasons.
3.9;
*DDRMAX simulator
*beware's DDR extreme
*DDRMAX4 (where I played the first half of the contest sans FIGHT! and Go Beyond!!)^
*DDRMAX3 (USA version made by SupremeX, compiled by hamsand210-final)
*DDR Ultraremix (compiled by hamsand210-final; I don't play this too often
5;
*StepMania beta 3 (piece of shit; the background script engine fails on this and turned me off from 5 for another 15 months)
*Version 5.0.9
*Version 5.0.10 (current)
^Huh. They both have exclamation points in their title (and are the only ones to).
Yeah... I had problems when making
because I wasn't sure how I wanted to handle the challenge chart. I wasn't sure if I wanted it to just follow the stress, the music only, or karaoke step (which means 24ths would be there). I just decided to go for a mixture of all three.
To be honest, I'm sort of losing confidence in my own abilities. And with having 6 more songs to go, this contest is starting to feel like a chore to do with not too much payoff (some of the songs I didn't have fun stepping or are complete failures; I didn't even feel like making graphics for two of them).
I think this contest taking a week off is a good thing, it gives all of us a chance to recharge.

Original song is so famous, but this remix is... Brutal. SO BRUTAL.
I don't know where this remix is, Although this arrange isn't my flavor, I made chart straightly. No gimmicks in this time.
has ROLLS so you need SM 3.95 or above. (DON'T USE VANILLA SM3.9)

Lol, Gameoson got 2 songs from Mokou in a row.
If anyone wants to deduce who got the other files, me and The Legendary DJXYZ got our own submissions. chewi and MRace2010's assignments will be difficult to track because they came out of the backup pile.
Edit: Oh, and HealingDMax300 submitted Say My Name.

Ghost Street was submitted to the backup pile by... me.
. My main submission was SHAKE THAT BRASS, which didn't get stepped. 


Quote: Nezemarth
Ghost Street (Mandarin Version)- The beginning of the heavy chart had too many 4th streams and understepped 8th patterns in my opinion; later on, while better 8th patterns began to appear, I was shocked at how missed opportunities you had to insert some 16th streams, leading to one of the few files of this contest with the hardest chart having no notes quantized beyond 8th notes.
I really disagree with everything you said. Not every file needs to have lots of 8th or 16th streams. I would rather play a fun file than overstepped garbage.
