So I stepped a pop song. The song isn't even one month old, but I like it a lot. Louisa Johnson has a strong voice.
Steps aren't complicated. A handful of backsteps, but pretty straightforward otherwise.
Also, since I'm pretty sure I won't ever step Edit charts, I've replaced that slot in the pic with indicators for movie and lyrics. They're both there. Enjoy!

My votes will now be entered.
The fifteen lucky files are...
Bassamenco- Making your
chart a mine land helped with nominating this file.
Candy Rush- I love the piano, and the charts do it justice!
Blu Bird- I can't get enough of the chart!
Castle of Dreams- A great DDR-esque chart!
Destiny Island (Lavender Town Glitchhop Remix) (The lack of a spin in the harder charts broke my heart
)
I Just Wanna See You- The
chart was straight up my alley!
I'm An Albatroz- Perhaps a few janky patterns, but the song was heartbreaking, at the charts were actually not bad!
Is The Sunrise Coming- Much like I Just Wanna See You, the really tickled my fancy.
Lato I Morze- Again, the really touches my soft spot...
LET'S CELEBRATE- A funky song from a video game my household used to own. (The first one, anyways...)
MY D*CK- Yet another that truly speaks to me!
Schizophrenia- The challenge chart is iffy, but the rest of the charts are pretty good.
Stop The Rock- The charts were pretty cool on this one.
Strapped For Cash- The doublesteps were a pretty nice concept to add difficulty to the song.
T R Y- Such a blessing to hear this song at 1:40 AM (around the time that I got around to this)...
The charts that were right up my alley were mainly due to have fun 8th patterns at an appropriate BPM. Unfortunately, I know I have left some out...
Regardless, I would consider all of the files to be possible Honorable Mentions. Even the files I like the least (Backyard Animals, Colors, and Lastmint) all have parts that worked nicely (the former has interesting jump-steps and direction changes, the latter two have pretty good rhythm choices), though marred by severe double-stepping. Great job, everyone!
I also managed to play all charts from this week, so I would love if you could take a look at what I have written down (even though I am not a very good stepper, and even though some files have practically nothing written about them). One thing to note, though: I played all of these files on Stepmania 3.9 (except PLS GO FAST), where in the editor mode, each song starts at measure 1 and on beat 0. I believe, if you expect values for Stepmania 5, subtract 1 from the measure number I mention, and add 1 to the beat number I mention. I could easily be wrong, though, especially with the latter.
-Also, a note about beginner charts; I expect them to be playable both in the 'DDR Helper' style (wherein the player returns the feet to the center after hitting an arrow) and in the style needed to play most other charts. (I have only a slight bias towards the latter, as making it counterintuitive for learning players to step 'properly' is worse in my book than flustering learning players with complex patterns.) Freeze arrows are perfectly fine, though, depending on how they are used in conjuntion with the other patterns.
Totals (These didn't take Feraligatr's votes into account; I can correct it in a few hours, but I'd appreciate it if someone can do it for me.):
Expect a second file from me within a few hours. I also plan to revise Turn It Into Love, specifically the chart, the preview start time, and the audio cut.

Freeze arrows are perfectly fine, though, depending on how they are used in conjuntion with the other patterns.
Backyard Animals- looking at the various charts side by side, the allegations of your use of copy/paste are completely correct, though at least you didn’t only delete arrows. Such heavy copy/paste is the mark of a lazy stepper, and the only appropriate time to use it is when you wish to create a version of a chart that adds/removes an element you believe is controversial. (Maybe if you wish to create an easier challenge chart like SAKURA from DDR EXTREME, but even that might be stretching it.) I’ll look at all of your charts, though, as separate entities.
The beginner chart flows well (except for one section, but that I’ll get to later), but I’m not a fan of many of your patterns here. For one, the jumps at the beginning are a bit unseemly, and single arrows would have fared better (or perhaps single freeze arrows); there’s also no real reason to not have an arrow at the stop in measure 8 (or at least have a freeze arrow that ends on it), which applies to all charts except challenge. The consistency of the patterns here is also not too good, and doesn’t seem to follow a strong rhyme or reason. The freeze arrows were personally a little iffy, but especially the short freeze arrows (beats 179 and 180); though usually I wouldn’t suggest freeze arrows in a beginner chart unless very necessary, these I would suggest lengthening them by an 8th note to have them interconnect, or (particularly for the short freeze arrows) not include them at all. Other than that, when I played the chart like I do with non-beginner charts, I didn’t encounter any moments where I faced backwards for extended periods of time, though there were interesting direction changes.
The basic chart has plenty of direction changes, and though it was a little excessive for me, it fortunately works out. However, some of the jump steps involving 8th notes (particularly the ones at measures 44 and 56) are pretty mean, and don’t fit in nicely with this chart. At the very least, this chart should be rated a 4. Measures 22-23 (beats 85 to 88.5) have a weird freeze pattern; starting from the up-right jump, I would make only the right arrow a freeze note (and extend it by an 8th), replace the second freeze arrow with a left arrow, replace the left-right jump with a down arrow, and adjust the rest of the chart to suit. If the freeze arrows were to stay, I would suggest making them only one beat long, an 8th note shorter than what you currently have.
The difficult chart is a little too wacky with the direction changes, to the point that they weren’t predictable, and required plenty of head turning to see the next arrows. Some of the spins, particularly those involving jumps, are a little extreme and potentially dangerous on pad. Perhaps you intended for those to be doublesteps, which would allow one to stay forward during the entire chart, but, just to let you know, the contest community is not very receptive to most doublesteps.
To be honest, I dig some of the jump steps and patterns in the expert chart! However, the individual bits were not pieced together very well, leading to confusing spins that force doublestepping for one to achieve a good grade on this chart. As for the individual things (apologies in advance if my suggestions seem to run counter with whatever your vision of the chart was, especially with the player direction): for one, I would lengthen the freeze arrow in measure 11 by an 8th to link with the 4th note that begins the next measure. Assuming the player is supposed to face forward for measure 14, I would suggest changing the right-left pattern in beats 53-53.5 to a left-down pattern. To account for this, I would also change the 4th note leading up to beat 67.5’s 8th note freeze to face in the same direction, right. Furthermore, I would consider changing measure 27’s final 3-note pattern, down-left-right, to down-right-up, so that the player can face forward. (Maybe you wanted the player to stay facing left for a quick midair spin, and in that case, ignore the previous sentence.) After the end of the jump steps in measure 32, I would eliminate the ambiguous foot pattern by starting off the 8th pattern on a left arrow instead of the down arrow. (Potentially, the up arrow could work…) An additional measure I would take to keep the player facing forward, I would replace the up arrow that starts measure 35 (on beat 136) into a right arrow. On measure 36, it seems that if you step the down arrow (at the beginning, on beat 140) with your left foot (which, if that’s what you intended to do, you should have extended to right freeze arrow to connect with this note), it could eventually straighten the player out, but it still involves the player spending almost an entire measure backwards, which is not very fun. If you didn’t intend for this, I would replace it with an arrow that faces left (to eliminate the doublestep), change the rest of the pattern from left-up-down-right-down-up-right-left (freeze arrow) to left-up-down-right-left-down-up-right (freeze arrow), and make the right 4th arrow on beat 148 a left arrow. For measure 44’s jumpstep pattern, I would change it from down-right-(up-left) jump to right-up-(up-left) jump. Before measure 48’s single 16th jack, I think it would make more sense for the 8th note to be changed into a 12th note, on beat 188.67. Considering the direction of the jump freeze patterns starting at measure 52, I would change the 8th pattern preceding it from down-up-right to down-up-left(. As for the patterns from measures 52-55, I would suggest keeping a rate of 4 arrows/measure, since the beat is still present. Another thing I would suggest changing is the last two arrows of an 8th note pattern from measures 56-57 (beats 224.5-225 in particular) from left-up to up-left. Consider finding a way to remove the up arrow on beat 242 and modifying the pattern so that the player doesn’t have to face backwards without doublestepping. For the 4th note jump patterns from measures 72-74, consider adding freeze arrows to the arrow so that there isn’t any ambiguity with arrow patterns. (This I say particularly due to the pattern from beats 285-286). Ultimately, the chart has potential, but needs plenty of polishing to fare well in this tournament. Apologies if my advice is counterintuitive, but hopefully you can learn something from it. (I also ignored some things that didn’t bother me too much, because obviously this isn’t my file.)
The challenge chart doesn’t feel too different from the heavy chart, and is very similar in nature. One thing unique to this chart that I would change is to make the right arrow at beat 40 an up-down jump. On measure 33, I would replace the pattern with an Afronova walk (left-up-right-left-down-right-down), and measure 34’s 8th pattern with right-down-up-down-right, and also replace measure 35’s up arrow (beat 136) with a right arrow. I would also replace the up arrow in measure 50 (beat 197), with a right arrow. Otherwise, many of the problems within the chart have been addressed in what I wrote of in the expert chart. Patterns aside, I think more of the vocals could have been stepped (particularly “I don’t know”) in at least one of the charts, but it’s not bad.
Baelfire- The beginner chart was excellent, nothing to say here.
‘Looks at the next difficulty up’- O_O… It’s the exact same as the beginner chart!! Not only that, but this chart is rated a 3, while the beginner chart is rated at a 1! Perhaps it’s possible that the .sm file was botched, replacing this chart with the beginner chart, but never have I seen this before, and none of the other difficulties don’t seem to be affected. If these two charts were made the same on purpose so that you could pretend to have a full range of charts, then that was a very disingenuous move
The standard chart was very fun, no complaints there.
As for heavy, the beginning 12ths were probably too hard for a 9 footer (especially an ITG 9-footer, from what I’ve seen), but the chart was very well crafted.
Challenge chart had some strange jump steps and bracketing, but it seems to work well for players of this level.
Bassamenco- The beginner chart was very simple, but it does the job well and has enough variety to not become boring.
The basic chart is also a fun and simple chart, though I think that it’s more of a 3 footer. However, I think that the first section in particular (before the first set of jumps) could use some spicier patterns, such as crossover patterns.
The standard chart was also very nice, though I felt that the final set of mines didn’t make much sense to me. (I liked the beginning use of the mines, and none of them were too bad, though maybe they detracted from the visibility a little bit. I’m guessing this is your mine dump
)
The heavy chart is really nice, there isn’t much I can say about it. If there’s one thing I can say about it though, is that jumps/freezes (leaning towards the former) could be used in the break section (with only 4th notes) to add emphasis.
The challenge chart was perfection, so I can’t really say anything about it here.
Blu-Bird- The beginner chart was very simple, and seems like a very good chart to start a new player off with!
The basic chart was also very nice, and I especially loved the ending patterns! My only minor quibble would be that I was expecting a left-down arrow freeze on beat 59 instead of an up-down freeze arrow, as I feel that that would make for the perfect balance between symmetry and pad feel. Like I said though, that’s a minor quibble, and this chart is very good!
I love the standard chart, especially the freeze patterns from 10-17, the spin in measures 36-37, and the 8th patterns after the slowdown!
The heavy chart was also nice, and there isn’t anything I can say here.
The challenge chart is a great demonstration of a very difficult chart, as all of the complicated patterns come together beautifully and seamlessly. The last mines were a tad strange, though…
Candy Dash- I love the piano of this track!
The basic chart was pretty good; I liked the gradual difficulty curve, and the steps made plenty of sense.
The standard chart was also pretty good, with some fairly fun gallops, though it probably wouldn’t be too unfitting for a 7 footer.
The heavy chart was very delicious with its streamy magic! I can’t say much about this chart, and it captivated me unlike the lower difficulty charts. The only thing that I would change personally would be measures 35-36, since, though it’s symmetrical to the previous pattern of measures 33-34, it doesn’t really acknowledge the piano’s change in tone (while the piano in the previous measures had a constant tone). That might just be personal preference, though.
Castle of Dreams- I enjoyed the beginner chart a lot, but I found the difficulty drop for the final section a little strange.
The basic chart was enjoyable too! Personally, though, I would have made the left arrow jacks in measure 19 left-right jumps instead, but the rest of the chart was great! (I really appreciate the final 8th notes, too!)
The standard chart is lovely! The freeze notes from measures 37-42 fit my tastes to a T!
The heavy chart was also very well crafted! I especially liked the use of the gallops, and the rolls were a nice touch.
Cheat Codes- The light chart was pretty nice, though some of the 8th patterns at the end make this at least a 5. (The difficulty was a little unbalanced, to be fair.)
The standard chart was very good. (I personally would have liked for it to have ended with a jump, though.
The heavy chart was also very good, with very cool direction changes and great rhythms!
Clear ft. Mothica- The basic chart was nice, though I felt that some of the 8th patterns made it a borderline 3 footer, bleeding into a 4. There were some doublesteps, though (measure 22 (beat 86), and measure 34 (beat 134)) that I felt hampered the chart’s quality a little bit.
The standard chart had some very fun parts, but also unfortunately had a doublestep from measures 25-26this could be the fault of the pattern ambiguity after the up-down jump after the stop, but if I stepped the left arrow with my left foot, I would face backwards after beat 102 if I didn’t doublestep. One possible solution for this is to make the up arrow on beat 101 face left instead. I also felt that the down 8th note after the left-right jump on beat 151 was ambiguous; a freeze arrow on the foot you don’t want to use on the down arrow would be effective, in my opinion.
The heavy chart was pretty nice, though I would rate it a 9 due to the difficult 16th section. (Personally, I didn’t appreciate the 16ths leading up to the up-down jump in measure 16.) There’s also a doublestep I found in measure 18; I feel that making the 16th note at beat 68.75 face left instead of right would rectify this issue. The use of freeze arrows were great, though.
Colors- I loved the spins that you incorporated in the basic chart! Measures 13-20 were too repetitive for me though, and I would suggest having the jumps in various different directions.
The standard chart wasn’t quite as good to me, though the rhythms were fine. For one, the opening was very ambiguous, and stepping on the wrong foot would mean facing backwards at the end of the pattern; I feel the best way to rectify this issue would be by having a left-right jump instead of an up-down jump to start the song. To keep the 90 degree rotation established throughout much of the pattern, I would start on an up-right jump and keep rotating (up-left, down-left, down-right, up-right, up-left, down-left) until you reach the left-right jump. The down arrow at the start of measure 20 is also very ambiguous, so, like most similar patterns, I would make one of the arrows of the left-right jump (in this case, the right arrow) that precedes it (beat 75) a freeze arrow, to avoid this issue. I felt that measure 20 should have added a 16th to bridge the 4th and the 8th, as the omission doesn’t make sense to me. There were also some sections (measures 34-35, 45-46) that eventually work themselves out, but feel awkward.
The heavy chart, again had great rhythm choices, and better patterning (in my opinion) that the standard chart, but still has a handful of doublesteps that drag this file down. The first one I saw was on the left 4th note on beat 88. There’s also another doublestep around measures 27/28, which you could possibly fix by making the right 4th note at beat 104 face up or right. Another doublestep occurs at measure 34, which you could rectify by making the up arrow at beat 133 face right just like the previous arrow. Yet another doublestep occurs between measures 39-40, which I would rectify by making the 4th and 16th up arrows face right instead, so that the player will spin and face forward again. One more doublestep appears in measure 45, and fixing it would require flipping the direction of the left-right-right right pattern from beats 178.5-180 so that it starts on the right arrow. I also disagree with the patterning of measures 46-48 a little, and I would prefer if the 8th arrow changed directions on the 3rd 8th note instead of the 2nd one. (To use the first one as an example, instead of right-up-right-down-right-down-up, it would go right-up-right-up-right-down-up.) I also think that measures 50-52 should have used patterns with more consistency (such as crossover patterns), much like what measures 46-48 accomplished. Regardless, measure 50 has a doublestep that I don’t know how to fix without using a jack, and the rest of the patterns, if not double-stepped, lead me to end perpendicular to the screen, which isn’t too bad, though I’d prefer to face forward. (In certain scenarios, turning the player away from the screen works if you do it at the very end.) As a whole, the chart has fairly good rhythms and patterning that isn’t bad, but has plenty of doublesteps, which are usually poisonous for a file in this contest.
Destiny Island- The beginner chart is great with a spin, nothing to say here.
The basic chart is also great with a spin, nothing to say here.
The standard chart is once again great with a spin, nothing to say here. (Though the spin is in a different place)
The expert chart was fantastic, but no spin!? :’(
That aside, I loved many of your patterns here, especially the 8th crossovers. I noticed the that you went from the right arrow to the left arrow at beat 149, and there didn’t seem to be a musical reason for this, so I’m guessing it was some sort of post stepping patchwork, not that it degrades the flow though.
The challenge chart was also great but no spin here either!? My heart exploded in grief! <:’(
Don’t Let Me Down- Maybe the 8th are a little unfitting for a 2, but overall I feel that this difficulty rating is appropriate. However, the jacks of measures 11-13 are 1 measure longer than the vocals, so I would make the fifth and final arrows for each jack turn to a different direction. (Personally, I would suggest an up arrow for the first pattern, and a right arrow for the second pattern.) The 8th notes that go to the vocals in measures 29-30 are a little strange, so I would omit them and continue stepping to the instrument that you were stepping to previously. The 4th note run from measures 43-46 was a little strange, but it was fun, and what I hoped to see more of in a basic chart. (Though those would push it into the 3-4 territory…) The final freeze arrow is also a little boring, so I would augment it with some additional quarter notes to go with the changing piano keys.
As for the standard chart, I would change the 8th note in the middle of measure 7 (beat 26.5) to face right instead of up for sake of consistency with the later patterns. Also for a little more consistency, I would change the gallop pattern in measure 10 from left-up/down-right to up-down/up-left. There’s also a doublestep in measure 14, which can easily be changed by changing the direction of beat 54.75’s 16th from left to right. In measure 23, the down 8th that extends the 3-note jack to span 5 notes is superfluous and inconsistent with subsequent patterns, so it would be much better omitted. Measure 34’s 8th note pattern leads to a doublestep if you start stepping it with your left foot, facing the screen; I would change it to another pattern, such as down-left-right or up-right-left. For measure 42, the 16th stream isn’t problematic, but I felt it would be more logical to face left-right instead of up-right, considering that the previous 16th stream was up-down. The chart as a whole isn’t bad though, though some of the rhythm choices were a little strange.
Regarding the heavy chart, the beginning’s loose following of the vocals came off as a tad unprofessional, though not horrible as far as the fun factor goes. Notable, the middle of measure 4 derails from the lyrics a little, leaving ‘miracle’ without steps and instead attending to an imaginary triplet; this doesn’t work well in my opinion, so I would move the triple to ‘miracle’ and make the triplet use only 8ths instead. The 5-note 16th pattern also is negligent of the word ‘miracle’ while stepping imaginary notes. Measure 14 has a possibly omitted 16th note (‘I’) which is fine, but as it is, the jack feels a little awkward, so I would change the 4th note that starts the measure to face down. I’m also not a fan of the 5-note 16th pattern in this measure that loosely follows the vocals, so I would use the same 32nd rhythm that you used earlier and make it down-up-down-left instead. The fast section has a strange rhythm choice, and the omission of the 8th from beat 86.5 was particularly strange. The rest of the chart is fine, but noticeably inconsistent with its patterns, moreso than with some of the other files I’ve played.
Give Me Up- The beginner chart starts two measures early in my opinion, as well as every other chart except the basic one. For measures 9-17, I think 1 arrow/measure would have made more sense than what is currently there (1 arrow/2 measures), though the arrows could still change directions every two measures. The omitted arrows in beats 108, 116, and 124 also don’t make any sense to me. Also, I felt the section from 224-256 should have swapped places with the section from 96-128 in terms of pattern difficulty. The 4th jumps in measure 56 don’t seem to go to a strong instrument, so I don’t feel that they should be here. The small flaws in this chart make me feel that you didn’t spend too much time on this chart…
I like the basic chart, but it feels sloppy at parts. For example, during the first jump stream, beat 44 felt like it should have had a jump, but it lacks one, unlike all of the other measure-starters in the area. Also, I don’t like the generalization of the vocal 8ths, which happens a few times throughout the song, such as in beat 68 (which should be beat 67.5), in beat 110 (which should be beat 109.5)… The next part (do you want to make a fool of me…) essentially ignores the previous part and does a full 4th stream, which comes off as careless. The freeze arrow for the refrain is strange, but at least it is applied consistently for the first part. Also, there are some doublesteps after the freeze arrows end at beats 139 and 147, though they’re easy to spot as the offending arrows face right. The feeling of this chart not having too much attention is also present here, though for what it is, it flows decently well.
I felt as if the standard chart could have a little more variety than two-arrow 8th patterns during the initial part (such as left-down-left-right-left-down-left-etc…), and the initial 8th triplets and jumps don’t seem to go to anything in particular. I thought that the lack of the 4th-16th-8th pattern in measure 15 was confusing as well. The 5-note 8th pattern in measures 38-39 also had no sense to it, as far as I could tell. The same could be said for the omitted 8th note at beat 174.5. (I see why you did this, but in that case, I would extend the up-right pattern down to beat 175, start the next pattern on a left arrow instead of a down arrow, and make beat 185 a down arrow instead of a right arrow. Overall, I think the inconsistencies are smaller than on the lower difficulty charts, but they’re still noticeable. (Also, personally, I feel that this is more of a difficult 6 than a 7.)
I also liked the heavy chart, though maybe a little easy for a 9. (I would have liked to seen the gallops used in the harder charts.) Measures 52-53 have a doublestep, which I would change by changing the right arrow at beat 203 to a left arrow.
The challenge chart was a strange ITG addition, though as I mentioned before, I liked the gallop patterns, and the 8th patterns from beat 160-184. Measure 20 was ambiguous, so would consider changing the down arrow of beat 79 to a left arrow. Also, the difficulty was strangely arranged to me, especially with how the first instrumental section consisted of 16th streams, while the second instrumental section only had 8th patterns.
The edit chart seems mostly like a hardcore dump stream, so I won’t scrutinize it since I’m already bad at high-level charts.
I Just Wanna See You- The basic chart has some great patterns (especially with the freeze notes), so no complaints here.
The standard chart was also pretty good, though I felt that the spin starting on beat 96 had the player face backward for too long.
The loved the heavy chart’s variety of patterns, though maybe it went a little overboard with the jacks. This feels like a borderline 7, as it could easily pass for an 8.
I’m An Albatraoz- I enjoyed the spins, stops, and patterns in the basic chart, but there were a few doublesteps. The first doublestep I saw was in measure 17, which could be fixed by changing the down arrow in beat 67 to face right instead. The up arrow jacks following the down-right jump were definitely ambigious, so I would also consider changing the jump to be up-right instead, and making the down arrow on beat 68 face up instead. The stop in measure 61 also happens to be a footswitch, I would mark it with a mine, if possible (possibly on the left/right panels on beat 243.5, but there are many ways to mark it with a mine), or eliminate the footswitch by making the down arrow on beat 244 face right instead. (There might be more, but these are the only ones I’m certain of. The rest, if any, could be spins, so I’ll have the benefit of the doubt there.) One trait of the chart that I personally wasn’t a fan of was the long freeze arrow without any complimentary arrows, which appeared in measures 12 and 27; I prefer freeze arrows such as the one from measures 52-53, except at the climax of a song’s buildup. Also, beat 236 is almost inaudible when using my headphones, so it would probably be inaudible to someone when playing on a pad; I would suggest omitting this particular note. It’s definitely not bad for someone who doesn’t have much experience with pad contests, though!
The standard chart is much the same. I personally think that the doublestep patterns starting in measure 8 are certainly not bad for being unmarked doublesteps, but the problem is, doublesteps in these Simfile Contests (from what I’ve seen, at least) are like firearms in an airport; they should be marked such that a player knows to doublestep them (instead of trying to spin on them, which doesn’t work well), or they could very well ruin a simfile. To avoid this issues entirely, I would suggest switching up directions for each time the pattern is done, instead of every two times, as the chart currently has. There’s another doublestep to be found in measure 15; I would rectify it by changing the arrow at beat 59 to face right instead of left, and to make the down-up jump that follows a left-right jump instead. I would also suggest dragging down the freeze arrow in measure 28 down to the start of measure 29 (beat 112), since most files I’ve seen so far expect you to use the leg that you used for the freeze arrow to step the next note after the freeze arrow ends; extending will help make it clear that beat 112 should be double-stepped, which appears to be the case. Again, I like the patterns on measure 35-36 (specifically, the footswitches), but it might be better if you marked them with a mine. In addition, I would change the right arrow at beat 145 to an up arrow, so that the player can straighten out. Stepping the various stops here would have also been a good addition to this chart. To avoid another slight doublestep, I would consider changing the 12th left note at beat 176.67 to face right instead. The freeze arrow at beat 207 was a little conservative, and I wished that the compliments spanned across all 3 arrows instead of just 2 (up/right), much like what’s in the heavy chart. Measure 61 was ambigious but also interesting, with the left foot starting the down arrow jacks making for a spin, and the right foot starting them making for a footstep. Overall, a fun chart with a few technical nitpicks.
The heavy chart started quite nicely! For one, I would change the 12th left note at beat 52.67 to face right. I would also change the left arrow at beat 131 to face right, to avoid any problems with doublestepping. Personally, I’m not a big fan of how the stop section with the 8th notes were stepped; for starters, I would start with a up-left jump or a left-right jump instead of the up-right jump in the chart, since that is the least problematic, flow-wise. Perhaps, for this section, having the 4th/8th notes all be jumps would be feasible, considering it follows repetitive vocals that change pitch. Furthermore, I would change the left arrow on beat 179 to a down arrow to avoid any issues with doublestepping. For that same reason, I would also suggest flipping the direction of the right-left gallops from beat 195 to beat 198, so that it starts on the left arrow instead of the right one, and mirror the gallop patterns from (202.67-205), so instead of reading left-right/up-down/left-right, it would read right-left/down-up/right-left. The 4-arrow 12th pattern in measure 52 is also very unfitting, especially with the jump, so I would either omit the left arrow from the left-up jump freeze (making it only a freeze arrow), or (what I personally lean towards) remove all of the 12th notes. I have a similar with the up 12th note leading up to the down-right jump, so I would replace the pattern with a down-right gallop. Overall, the chart isn’t bad, but the beginning was definitely better than the ending.
ID- Technical BPM gimmicks that work well? No wonder you’re winning this week…
The beginner chart was nice, no problems there.
The basic chart flowed well, and I liked the jacks near the end. I was expecting some 4th notes to be used at the very end, though.
I really liked how the standard chart flowed! I noticed that the 8th pattern starting measure 34 was strangely different from the subsequent repetitions, but it works for the sake of flow.
The expert chart was very nice (the choice of patterns interesting), and I was almost holding my breath when the stop arrived!
If The Rain Falls (Red Monster Mix)- The slowdown is a little questionable…
The beginner chart is pretty good for the most part, though some parts aren’t to friendly to playing ‘DDR Helper style’ (returning the feet to the center after pressing a panel), which I use to play beginner charts. In any case, there Is a doubles step in measure 12, so I would flip the down-up-down-up pattern starting at beat 44 to up-down-up-down. I liked the jack pattern in measure 20, and found it unfortunate that it didn’t return in measure 24. Some of the freeze arrows in this chart also didn’t feel too necessary.
The basic chart is not bad, but it has some flaws. For instance, I found a doublestep in measure 11, which can be avoided by making the freeze arrow on beat 39 face left instead of right. I also felt that the up/down arrows in measures 25-26 that come after the left-right jump freezes could have also been freeze notes that last one beat long. The freeze arrows in measure 33-34 were also unnecessary, and in addition, there is a doublestep within these measures; I would fix this by making the arrows face down-right-left instead of down-up-right. Finally, I don’t see a reason not to extend the up freeze arrow in measure 40 down to beat 160.
For the standard chart, I have no idea why the jump pattern that is in measure 5 isn’t also featured, in some form, at the start of the chart. There’s also a doublestep at measure 20, which could possibly be fixed by making the 8th pattern use the right/left panels instead of the up/left panels. There’s also another doublestep in measure 34, assuming the right foot is used to hit the right panel, so I would switch the direction of the left-right arrows in beats 135-136 to become left-right. The triplets in measure 39-40 don’t end well if you don’t doublestep them, so I would consider changing the down-left-up pattern to down-left-right, at least for the purposes of this contest. The jumps in measure 44 came off as a little carelessly applied to me. Finally, I think it would be appropriate to add an additional 8th note at the very end of the song, in beat 239.5.
As for the heavy chart; measure 10 had a doublestep that I didn’t catch, so I would extended the freeze arrow in the middle of the measure (that ends before the triplet) by an 8th. There’s a doublestep in measure 31, so I would make the triplet pattern in the middle of measure 30 go up-down-right instead of up-down-up. Yet another doublestep appears in measures 52-53, so I would make the right arrow at beat 207 an up arrow.
Is the Sunrise Coming- The basic chart was very nice, no complaints here. (Maybe the first pattern was a little strange, but it works/flows well.)
The standard chart is also very good! My only nitpick here is that the patterns during measures 45-46 are a little different from the patterns during measures 53-54 for no discernable reason.
You also did a very good job with the heavy chart! (I was about to suggest adding more jumps, but saw that you added them near the end.)
It’s all about me (feat. Sisquo)- The beginner chart was a soulful match to the song!
The basic chart was also very good, though more of a 2. The pattern change is perhaps a little weird, though.
The standard chart is also very good, no complaints here.
The heavy chart is also very good. The 16th jack-turns may be a little unusual, but they work well at the low BPM.
Iya hon no uchuu (Headphone of the Universe)- The beginner chart was pretty good for the most part, but I didn’t enjoy the section where you face perpendicular to the left starting at beat 32 (the left freeze arrow at the slowdown), which can easily be avoiding by making the freeze arrow face right instead of left.
For the basic chart, I found the blank space after the slowdown to be strange; it would have made more sense to continue with the 8th notes right after the slowdown was over. Also, the direction of the 8th arrows during beats 38.5-45.5 were a little strange to me; I would suggest using the down-right (respectively) panels for this specific section instead of left-down. For the 4th notes up to beat 78, I felt that they could use more variety than what was actually used. In addition, I would suggest changing beat 80’s right arrow to face left to be consistent with the later pattern (and also because it flows better, in my opinion). Furthermore, I would make the freeze arrows in measures 26-27 two beats instead of only one beat long; ditto for the freeze arrows in measures 34-35, and in measures 50-51. (I see why you made it only one beat, but I felt that the freeze arrow should stay primarily with the vocals.) Other than that, the chart is pretty good.
As far as the standard chart goes, I like the use of the freeze arrows starting at measure 5! Personally, the first trait of the chart that I felt could be problematic would be the 32nd gallop during the slowdown; I would suggest removing the 16th before the gallop and make the pattern a 4th-32nd-16th for easier reading, especially for players at this level. (You could also add a 32nd before the next 16th note to make it also a gallop, since I feel that would feel more intuitive.) Like on the basic chart, I felt that the freeze arrows in measures 26-27 and measures 34-35 should be lengthened by one beat, and the patterns also should be adjusted to suit. Other than that, I like this chart quite a bit
The heavy chart was a little strange for my liking, but definitely not bad! Personally, I felt that the complete lack of karaoke stepping when the vocals come in (stepping only to the 8th beat) was an unorthodox match with the complex patterns in this song; I would consider stepping the vocals (since they provide a more interesting rhythm in this section than the beat that stays by itself), and if need be, make it a challenge chart, and step an easier heavy chart (~8 feet) that doesn’t use 32nds, at least outside the slowdown. Also, I felt that the gallops in the beginning (a weird patterning choice to begin with) could have used some more variety, given the length of the section.
Lastmint- In the basic chart, there is ambiguous jump in measure 8 (beat 31), and the correct foot to step it on (to avoid a doublestep) feels very awkward; I would eliminate the issues by making the arrow that comes after it a right arrow instead of an up arrow. Another doublestep can be found in measure 16, which can be fixed by changing the up arrow at beat 61.5 to a down arrow. Another one pops up at measure 24, which can be fixed by changing the down arrow at beat 93.5 to an up arrow. Yet another one appears at measures 36-41, which can be fixed by swapping the directions of the long down/up freeze arrows. One more pops up at measure 47, which can be fixed by changing the directions of the right arrows at beats 184 and 186 to left arrows. Again, a doublestep can be found in measure 53, which can be fixed by changing beat 208’s left arrow to a right arrow. One more doublestep can be found in measure 61, which can be fixed by changing the right arrow at beat 243 to a left arrow. (Though, with this suggestion, you would also need to change the down arrows in measures 253.5 and 256 to up arrows.) And again, a doublestep can be found in measure 69; assuming you want to keep the left 8th, I would change the pattern in measures 69-71 from up-left-right-down-up-left-right-down-up-down-up to down-up-left-right-down-up-left-right-down-up-down. Finally, I don’t believe that turning the player away from the screen is a good idea if you want to end with a jump, so I would either eliminate the jump, or change the down freeze note to an up freeze note. Personally, I also think that the 8th from measures 52 onwards were weird for this chart, but they weren’t too bad. Such a shame that you placed so many doublesteps that hurt the flow of the song, because otherwise it was a decently good chart.
Fortunately, the standard chart doesn’t seem to be plagued with as many doublesteps as the basic chart. The pattern in measure 50 is difficult to perform without doublestepping; I feel that changing the left arrow to a right arrow doesn’t seem to be as unfairly difficult. Measure 54 also faces the player backwards if no doublesteps are performed, and fixing it would require a 4th jack. The same can be said about measure 58, so I would change the left arrow in beat 231 into a right arrow, and, make the right arrow that follows a down arrow. Additionally, I would change the right arrow on beat 256 into a left arrow to avoid a doublestep. Finally, I would change the up freeze arrow on beat 285.5 into a down freeze arrow.
For the heavy chart, I would consider changing the left arrow at beat 72 into a down arrow. Moreover, I would change the right-left-right pattern from beats 96-97 to a left-right-left one. Additionally, I would consider changing the up arrow at beat 100 into a right arrow, to avoid ambiguity and more clearly make it into a spin. I would also change the right-up-down-left pattern starting measure 30 into a right-down-left-up pattern, so that the player can straighten out without having to doublestep. The up freeze arrow at measure 32 is borderline unnecessary, so I would delete it. (That also eliminates another potential problem when the 8th streams start.) Additionally, I would change measure 70’s 8th pattern from up-down-left-right-up-down-left-up to left-up-down-right-up-down-up, to avoid another doublestep and have the player face the left. Also, I really don’t think this has much business being a 9; PARANOiA MAX ~Dirty Mix~ has a higher BPM and longer streams, yet it is still an 8. (PARANOIA Evolution is a further example of a harder 8, at an even higher tempo.) Other than the doublesteps, though, it’s not bad.
Lato i morze- The beginner chart is good, nothing wrong here.
The basic chart was great, and the 8th freezes were a welcome surprise!
The standard chart was also great, and the patterns were exactly what I would expect!
The heavy chart was also very fun! My only nitpick was that beat 207 felt that it ignored that the vocals ended; perhaps to acknowledge it, I would make it face down or right instead. But really, what do I know about stepping?
LET'S CELEBRATE- I liked the basic chart, nothing bad to say about it here.
For the standard chart, I felt that the isolated 8ths were strange, and that perhaps 4th notes should have been added to form a gallop pattern instead. (That might make the chart more of a 5, though.) The rest of the chart was fun, though!
The heavy chart is pretty fun overall, so not much to say here.
Let’s Dance, Boys!- The beginner chart was very fun! My only complaint is during measures 41-48, with the freeze arrows; the non-freeze arrows seem logistical, but musically, they don’t make much sense.
The basic chart was also great! However, I would extend the freeze arrow in measure 30 by one beat to make sure the right arrow is doublestepped, and for the non-freeze arrows during measures 41-48, make the first non-freeze arrow in each pattern have a freeze arrow that connects the two together.
The standard chart was pretty good. I noticed that beat 55.5/71.5 didn’t have an arrow for an undiscernible reason, which I found strange. I liked your step-jump patterns, though!
The heavy chart was great! The turn backwards was interesting, though a little questionable.
Like a Nameless Flower- The basic chart was pretty good, though the patterns in the last few measures seem to form an unintentional doublestep. I wondered why the last arrow didn’t end on a freeze, though.
The standard chart was also very good, no complaints here.
I liked the heavy patterns here too, though it would have been cool to see a challenge chart (preferably a 9 footer) with a more extensive use of 16ths.
Lush Life- The beginner chart is fun, but it is weirdly inconsistent and loose with following the audio. Take the jacks from measures
8-9; I felt that they should have followed the vocals, since that’s more prominent, but they go an extra note beyond the vocals. (You had the right idea from measures 28-29.) The right arrow on beat 36 feels like a doublestep that could have easily been avoided by making it a left arrow instead, in case anyone isn’t playing this by returning the feet to the center after hitting every panel. (I could see this being a problem if it makes you want to flip the direction of beat 40’s left note, and in this case, flip the directions of the jacks in measures 14-15.) The harder jacks sandwiched between the easy patterns of measures 10-11 and measures 16-17 were also littles strange; I would have preferred trying to build up difficulty in a more straightforward fashion, styling measures 12-13 like you did measures 10-11, and having the jacks in measures 14-17. Other than that, it was pretty good.
The basic chart was also pretty fun. The minor inconsistencies in between measures 10-18 were strange, but I liked the rest of the chart.
I liked the standard chart too! One nitpick I had was that the down arrow in beat 62 should have been a down (right jump), to keep consistency with all of the other jumps.
The heavy chart was also nice, though personally I preferred the standard chart. I found it a little weird how you only stepped the 8th note in the ending instead of also stepping the surrounding 16ths, given the plethora of complex patterns throughout the song.
MY D*CK- The beginner chart was pretty good, and I liked the spins near the end.
I liked the basic chart quite a bit too! For the starting section though, I would have liked to see every other freeze arrow (starting with the 2nd one, ending with the 8th) to have freezes that are 3/16ths long, or even just 1 beat long.
The standard chart was also very fun, in my opinion! I would add a 16th at the very end. though (so move the final 4th note up a 16th), for increased contrast with the rest of the chart.
I love the heavy chart too! Personally, one thing I would have liked to see is for measures 10-12 to continue carrying on the jumpsteps that were present in the earlier measures (6-9), but other than that, I enjoyed every step!
Nanakorobi Yaoki- Splendid beginner chart! I personally would have preferred for the right-left-right patterns to be jacks instead so that it’s more friendly to those playing ‘DDR Helper Style’ (where feet return to the center after hitting a panel), but that’s simply a small nitpick against a fun and energetic chart!
The basic chart was also very fun! Nothing to complain about here.
The difficult chart was also very fun, so nothing to complain about here either.
The heavy chart was also practically perfect, so no complaints here either.
And, like the heavy chart, the challenge chart was practically perfect and flowed excellently.
Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix)- The beginner chart was pretty nice, though I noticed a doublestep starting a measure 21, which could be cut short be flipping the directions of the arrows in measures 29 and 35.
The basic chart was pretty nice and spin-filled.
The standard chart was also nice with a spin, though simple.
The heavy chart was also not bad, though I felt that it switched difficulty ratings with ‘It’s All About Me (feat. Sisquo). I wasn’t too sure if the strange direction in measures 13-14 was intentional, given the mines used, but if it wasn’t, I would suggest flipping the directions of the right-left arrows in this section. I would have liked if you had stepped the 4th-16th-8th during the “Ladies Night” vocals instead of only 4th notes. The step jumps are fun, and though I can see this possibly leading you to rate this a seven, I doubt that it’s out of the question for a 6 footer at 99.50 BPM.
PLS Go Fast- With the relatively difficult basic chart, a beginner chart would have been nice…
Anyways, the basic chart was fun and had no issues whatsoever for a 5-footer.
The standard chart was also cool, though the very end would have been a nice place to place a roll, at least in the ssc file.
The heavy chart was also nice, so no complaints here.
Oh Darling Don’t Cry- Probably the most unsafe for work song I have heard on this site :3 That aside, I personally think the song’s volume is fine, and I doubt most people here have very convoluted volume controls, so clipping the audio is probably unneeded.
The basic chart is pretty difficult for a basic chart, but it works very well. The gallop before measure 33 was the only annoyance that I could find, since it seems to me an 8th note would have fitted better.
The standard chart was pretty difficult for an 8 footer, but also very fun. The only issue I had with this chart was that some of the jumps were a little jarring, and very ambiguous (the opening also has this problem by starting on the up/down panels, but to a lesser extent). The ones that gave me an issues included the left-up jump in measure 12 (maybe changing it to a left-right jump would have been a little better), the down-right jump in measure 24 (I would change the 16th preceding it into a down arrow), and the up-left jump in measure 40 (I would change the 16th preceding it into an up arrow, though it seems that there may be other reasons for it being a down arrow). These are pretty subjective, though, and the chart as a whole is quite nice!
The heavy chart is also quite nice; sometimes it feels like it’s stepping to many things at once, but it doesn’t do a bad job of doing so.
Prime- The beginner chart is great, except for cutting off early, though that must be the song’s fault for starting the vocals a 16th early.
Liked the basic chart too, right up to the end. Maybe you could have had the final jump be a freeze jump, with one arrow lifting up after the start of each vocal line.
The standard chart is pretty good, too. The final 4th notes, should be moved up a 16th though, since the final section has no instrumental backing, so they seem at least slightly weird, if not nonsensical.
The heavy chart is very nice, though it shares that same strange ending pattern as the standard chart.
REVOLUTION- The beginner chart has a doublestep early one, which can be fixed by altering the direction of the up-down patterns in measures 20-21. I also think that this chart (and all other charts except challenge) should end the final freeze note a beat later to end at the same time the challenge chart’s song ends, or only lift one freeze arrow up when it currently ends instead of both arrows.
The basic chart was nice, no complaints here.
For the standard chart, I felt that the up-down freeze arrow was too much of a leap of faith as far as choosing the correct direction for the next patterns, and personally it went counter to the direction I felt was more intuitive; you could change the right arrow at beat 31 to an up arrow to elucidate this, but I feel it would damage the 8th pattern that was going before the freeze arrow. (Alternatively, you could change the pattern from right-up-right-down-up-left right to right-up-right-down-left-down-up, just to name another pattern that seems to work. I felt that the left-right-left pattern in beats 60-61 was strange, since it didn’t seem to go to any vocals or instrumentation; I would have preferred a 3-note pattern from beats 58-59 instead. I liked the freeze notes from measures 24-25, but for the second one, the vocal ‘hold’ ended a beat earlier than the freeze arrow did. Other than that, I liked this chart.
I like the heavy chart a fair amount too. However, in measure 21, I felt that it was more natural to flip direction after the 8th pattern and take the up-down jump facing left; in this case, the up-right jump is counterintuitive, and an up-left jump (which would also warrant changing the direction of the arrow that follows after into facing up) would work better. (Not too sure how many others also feel this way…) Strangely enough, I also found it more intuitive to keep up facing right for beat 180’s up-down jump, which creates a doublestep issue. (I know it’s borderline hypocrisy for me to suggest that for one jump I would switch directions, and for another jump I wouldn’t, but if you want to eliminate this issue for people who played like I did, the easiest way would be to make beat 180.5, 181.5, and 182.5 up arrows instead of down arrows, changing the direction of the crossovers.
The challenge chart was pretty good, and though it has a bunch of ‘blanket’ 8ths and other things that seem to be there to bolster the rating, I have to admit that I’m admit that I’m a sucker for the 8th streams, and everything is executed pretty well. I felt that measures 26-29 should have stepped strictly to the vocals/piano though.
Schizophrenia- The beginner chart was very fun in my opinion!
In the basic chart, I noticed a doublestep in measures 31-33, which could be fixed by changing the right arrow in beat 125 into a left arrow, and changing the right-down-right-left-up pattern that follows into a left-down-left-right-up pattern, flipping the pattern. I also felt that it was more intuitive to step the up-down jump at beat 146 facing left, which makes the next patterns force the player to doublestep; that could just be me, I would consider flipping the directions of the patterns from beats 148-150. Other than that, this chart was pretty good for what it is.
Stepping only the guitar for the standard chart? It works pretty well here. I found it strange, though, when measures 43-46 had no freeze arrows, but measure 47-49 had them, with no discernable change in the music. During measure 64, the left-right 8th pattern in beats 254.5-255 came in a beat early to the music, and I would have preferred that this pattern be moved down a beat and have an 8th jump in its place. Other than that, this chart is executed pretty well.
For the heavy chart, I feel that the up-left jump at beat 64 should be replaced with an up-right jump, especially given the speed of this song. For a similar reason, I think it would have flowed better if the left-right jump on beat 233 was replaced by a right arrow, and if the left-down gallop in measure 59 was replaced by a left-right gallop. Besides that, I’m not too sure if the 16th triplet from beat 277-277.5 is present in the music. Also, I’m personally not a fan of the jacks at the end. For the most part, though, this chart is quite good.
For the challenge chart, the jumps are a little strange, but not too bad in my opinion. I feel that changing beat 42’s left arrow into a right arrow to make the pattern a crossover would add a little spice to this section of the chart. I’m not a fan of the forced up-down doublesteps in measure 58, especially at this speed, and there’s also a doublestep that comes after the freeze arrow stops, which can be fixed by changing the direction of the 16th stream, or lengthening the freeze arrow into the new measure. (I also started to notice the copying/pasting from the heavy chart, though at least the jump that irked me in the previous chart was removed.) Finally, there was another doublestep at the very end, which could be fixed by making the 8th note in beat 328.5 face right instead of left.
ShibuyaK- The beginner chart was pristine! I absolutely couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
Similar to the beginner chart, the basic chart was also sublime!
I have similar feelings for the standard chart, so nothing to say here.
The heavy chart is also great! One tiny nitpick I have is with the 16th notes on beat 91.25; it does seem ambiguous as to whether it should be stepped as a 4th note or a 16th notes (and seems to be neither), but when playing this song at 0.3x speed in the editor mode, it seems that the former is a tad more accurate. Measure 25’s doublestep off the freeze arrow came off to me as a little strange, so maybe I would consider lengthening the left freeze arrow in beat 96 by one beat.
So Young So High- For the basic chart, I felt that the freeze notes from measure 11 to the end of the slowdown should have been extended by an 8th, so that they would all be 1.5 beats long instead of only 1 beat long to better go with the music. Beat 78’s right arrow is inconsistent with the previous patterns, and it doesn’t seem like a well-executed form of increasing difficulty within the same section. Given the previous patterns, there is a doublestep in measure 24, which could be largely mitigated by flipping the up-down-up-down pattern to be down-up-down-up instead. I thought that the jumps in the later portion were fitting to the song, but also that you should have experimented a little more with jump direction changes. Also, I personally don’t think this warrants a 5, but rather a 4 footer at the most.
The standard chart isn’t bad, but is by no means an 8 (I would personally rate this chart a 6); this chart is so overrated for the classic DDR/ITG scale, I wouldn’t be surprised if you rated this song’s charts by the DDR X scale, which you aren’t supposed to do for this competition. The freeze arrow section from measure 11 to the end of the slowdown felt too boring, so I would try to keep up the flow with constant 4th notes or 8th notes. Measures 16-17’s 4th-16th-8th was very ambiguous, so I would make these arrows face right instead of up. For the freeze arrows after this, I would suggest ending the first freeze arrows after the second ones come, so as to avoid any ambiguity with doublesteps. I think it also would have been fitting to make the final jump a jump freeze that lasts a beat long.
As for the heavy chart, I would suggest changing the 16th pattern that starts at beat 14 to left-up-left-left-right-right-down-right, replace the pattern that starts in beat 22 with right-up-right-right-left-left-down-up. I would consider making the 16th note in beat 36.75 face left instead of down, and also have it be a freeze arrow. Measure 27 also presents a likely doublestep, which can be prevented by making the up-right jump in beat 101 into a down-right jump. That should be it as far as the egregrious doublesteps go…
Squad (feat. Dahn Farro)-I love the BPM gimmicks Plus, those Squirtles reminds me of the monkeys from Ape Escape…
The beginner chart had patterns somewhat unfriendly to playing what I have called the ‘DDR Helper’ style (a little much for my liking, but it’s still pretty good.
The basic chart was also very good, no complaints here.
Similar to the previous chart, I have no complaints for the standard chart.
The heavy chart was also great, so nothing to say here.
The challenge chart was also nice...
Stop the Rock-The beginner chart has a doublestep, for those who play this like most charts, at measure 21; this can be fixed by making beat 80’s right arrow face left. I don’t know why beat 104 has a jump when beats 88, 96, and 112 lack it. There’s also a probable doublestep in measure 39, which can be fixed by making the right note of beat 154 a left note. Other than that, I like the chart quite a bit.
I also liked the basic chart, nothing to say here except perhaps the slightly ambiguous start due to starting on the down arrow. (Using the left arrow would have also worked.)
The standard chart was also pretty good, and nothing to say here.
The heavy chart also the same slightly ambiguous starting issue as the basic chart, and I feel it would have been safer to start with the left arrow instead. Other than that, I couldn’t find any glaring flaws, and the chart was pretty well made.
I liked the challenge chart, especially the crossover patterns in the beginning, and again, I couldn’t find any glaring flaws with it.
Strapped For Cash- The beginner chart was pretty good, though I feel that the jacks that start with a freeze arrow and continues beyond that freeze arrow could cause a problem with those who play by returning to the center after the arrow is hit.
The basic chart was pretty good, though I wish some use of 8ths were implemented, especially where you placed some of the 3-jump patterns. I didn’t like the ending though, since unless you lifted the arrow that was on the right freeze arrow to use on the down arrow, you were left facing backwards for the last moments of the chart.
I liked the standard chart, and couldn’t find anything to complain about.
I also liked the heavy chart, and though the freeze-doublestep section was a little hard to follow, it was definitely interesting.
T R Y- I enjoyed the beginner chart quite a lot, and the one section with 3-4th note patterns doesn’t bother be quite as much in a beginner chart (such as say, the 3-note patterns in Squad’s beginner chart) since they go at a slower tempo, and are all grouped together in one section, presumably making it easier for learning players to test their skills at stepping these arrows.
The basic chart was also very nice, and no complaints here.
The standard chart is lovely, but beat 96’s up arrow befuddled me a little, as stepping it as I normally step it would mean a doublestep. However, I take it that you have to step the up-right jump at beat 93.5 facing away from the screen? If so, interesting. Nothing to say other than that.
The heavy chart was great, and I liked the freeze-doublesteps.
The challenge chart was also well-made and a good warmup to footswitches, though I have to admit that I was craving Afronova walks during measure 32, which the chart didn’t satiate.
This Girt (feat. Cookin’ On 3 Burners)- I liked the beginner chart, and I couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
The basic chart was also fun, and I couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
For the standard chart, I felt it would have been appropriate for the right arrow on beat 44 to be a freeze note that goes for 3 beats, and have the next note also be a freeze arrow that lasts a beat long, such that the two end at the same time. However, that is just a small nitpick, and there’s really nothing wrong with this chart.
For the heavy chart, I felt that the 16th pattern in measure 39 was a little strange; I personally would eliminate the 4th right note at beat 153, and make the first 16th note a down arrow instead of an up arrow. Other than that, I though this chart was stepped quite well.
Time, Love, and Tenderness- I already know that the BPM/offset is wrong, so I used AngledLuffa’s suggested values, which work much better.
For the beginner chart, I noticed a doublestep in measure 18, which can be fixed by making beat 70’s left arrow into a right arrow. The climactic “Time, Love, and Tenderness” was begging for a 3-note jack pattern, and I remained puzzled as to why the final note isn’t stepped.
The 16th triplets in the basic charts are a little strange, but the fact that what was supposed to be the 3rd triplet is only an 8th jack is worse, in my opinion; either save the triplet for last, have all of the similar patterns be triplets, or have none of them be triplets. Either way, I feel that attaching small freeze arrows to the 8th notes, depending on the vocals, would have been a good idea. Overall, this chart is a little strangely patterned, especially for a basic chart, but decently good. Not too bad, but I definitely noticed the copy/paste from the light chart, making this chart truly the ‘another’ chart that harkens back to the good old days…
I actually like the heavy chart quite a bit, so no complaints here.
For the challenge chart, I felt that beats 17.5-18.5 formed a good housing for a 16th stream, not just a 4th note currently held. Other than that, the challenge chart was also pretty good.
Violent Arcade- The beginner chart was very nice, nothing to complain about.
The basic chart is also nice, with nothing to complain about.
The standard chart is also very nice…
As is the heavy chart…
Honestly, there’s no point in me touching the challenge chart. I’m sure it’s also excellent, and at this point, other people can better critique this chart.
The beginner chart flows well (except for one section, but that I’ll get to later), but I’m not a fan of many of your patterns here. For one, the jumps at the beginning are a bit unseemly, and single arrows would have fared better (or perhaps single freeze arrows); there’s also no real reason to not have an arrow at the stop in measure 8 (or at least have a freeze arrow that ends on it), which applies to all charts except challenge. The consistency of the patterns here is also not too good, and doesn’t seem to follow a strong rhyme or reason. The freeze arrows were personally a little iffy, but especially the short freeze arrows (beats 179 and 180); though usually I wouldn’t suggest freeze arrows in a beginner chart unless very necessary, these I would suggest lengthening them by an 8th note to have them interconnect, or (particularly for the short freeze arrows) not include them at all. Other than that, when I played the chart like I do with non-beginner charts, I didn’t encounter any moments where I faced backwards for extended periods of time, though there were interesting direction changes.
The basic chart has plenty of direction changes, and though it was a little excessive for me, it fortunately works out. However, some of the jump steps involving 8th notes (particularly the ones at measures 44 and 56) are pretty mean, and don’t fit in nicely with this chart. At the very least, this chart should be rated a 4. Measures 22-23 (beats 85 to 88.5) have a weird freeze pattern; starting from the up-right jump, I would make only the right arrow a freeze note (and extend it by an 8th), replace the second freeze arrow with a left arrow, replace the left-right jump with a down arrow, and adjust the rest of the chart to suit. If the freeze arrows were to stay, I would suggest making them only one beat long, an 8th note shorter than what you currently have.
The difficult chart is a little too wacky with the direction changes, to the point that they weren’t predictable, and required plenty of head turning to see the next arrows. Some of the spins, particularly those involving jumps, are a little extreme and potentially dangerous on pad. Perhaps you intended for those to be doublesteps, which would allow one to stay forward during the entire chart, but, just to let you know, the contest community is not very receptive to most doublesteps.
To be honest, I dig some of the jump steps and patterns in the expert chart! However, the individual bits were not pieced together very well, leading to confusing spins that force doublestepping for one to achieve a good grade on this chart. As for the individual things (apologies in advance if my suggestions seem to run counter with whatever your vision of the chart was, especially with the player direction): for one, I would lengthen the freeze arrow in measure 11 by an 8th to link with the 4th note that begins the next measure. Assuming the player is supposed to face forward for measure 14, I would suggest changing the right-left pattern in beats 53-53.5 to a left-down pattern. To account for this, I would also change the 4th note leading up to beat 67.5’s 8th note freeze to face in the same direction, right. Furthermore, I would consider changing measure 27’s final 3-note pattern, down-left-right, to down-right-up, so that the player can face forward. (Maybe you wanted the player to stay facing left for a quick midair spin, and in that case, ignore the previous sentence.) After the end of the jump steps in measure 32, I would eliminate the ambiguous foot pattern by starting off the 8th pattern on a left arrow instead of the down arrow. (Potentially, the up arrow could work…) An additional measure I would take to keep the player facing forward, I would replace the up arrow that starts measure 35 (on beat 136) into a right arrow. On measure 36, it seems that if you step the down arrow (at the beginning, on beat 140) with your left foot (which, if that’s what you intended to do, you should have extended to right freeze arrow to connect with this note), it could eventually straighten the player out, but it still involves the player spending almost an entire measure backwards, which is not very fun. If you didn’t intend for this, I would replace it with an arrow that faces left (to eliminate the doublestep), change the rest of the pattern from left-up-down-right-down-up-right-left (freeze arrow) to left-up-down-right-left-down-up-right (freeze arrow), and make the right 4th arrow on beat 148 a left arrow. For measure 44’s jumpstep pattern, I would change it from down-right-(up-left) jump to right-up-(up-left) jump. Before measure 48’s single 16th jack, I think it would make more sense for the 8th note to be changed into a 12th note, on beat 188.67. Considering the direction of the jump freeze patterns starting at measure 52, I would change the 8th pattern preceding it from down-up-right to down-up-left(. As for the patterns from measures 52-55, I would suggest keeping a rate of 4 arrows/measure, since the beat is still present. Another thing I would suggest changing is the last two arrows of an 8th note pattern from measures 56-57 (beats 224.5-225 in particular) from left-up to up-left. Consider finding a way to remove the up arrow on beat 242 and modifying the pattern so that the player doesn’t have to face backwards without doublestepping. For the 4th note jump patterns from measures 72-74, consider adding freeze arrows to the arrow so that there isn’t any ambiguity with arrow patterns. (This I say particularly due to the pattern from beats 285-286). Ultimately, the chart has potential, but needs plenty of polishing to fare well in this tournament. Apologies if my advice is counterintuitive, but hopefully you can learn something from it. (I also ignored some things that didn’t bother me too much, because obviously this isn’t my file.)
The challenge chart doesn’t feel too different from the heavy chart, and is very similar in nature. One thing unique to this chart that I would change is to make the right arrow at beat 40 an up-down jump. On measure 33, I would replace the pattern with an Afronova walk (left-up-right-left-down-right-down), and measure 34’s 8th pattern with right-down-up-down-right, and also replace measure 35’s up arrow (beat 136) with a right arrow. I would also replace the up arrow in measure 50 (beat 197), with a right arrow. Otherwise, many of the problems within the chart have been addressed in what I wrote of in the expert chart. Patterns aside, I think more of the vocals could have been stepped (particularly “I don’t know”) in at least one of the charts, but it’s not bad.
Baelfire- The beginner chart was excellent, nothing to say here.
‘Looks at the next difficulty up’- O_O… It’s the exact same as the beginner chart!! Not only that, but this chart is rated a 3, while the beginner chart is rated at a 1! Perhaps it’s possible that the .sm file was botched, replacing this chart with the beginner chart, but never have I seen this before, and none of the other difficulties don’t seem to be affected. If these two charts were made the same on purpose so that you could pretend to have a full range of charts, then that was a very disingenuous move
The standard chart was very fun, no complaints there.
As for heavy, the beginning 12ths were probably too hard for a 9 footer (especially an ITG 9-footer, from what I’ve seen), but the chart was very well crafted.
Challenge chart had some strange jump steps and bracketing, but it seems to work well for players of this level.
Bassamenco- The beginner chart was very simple, but it does the job well and has enough variety to not become boring.
The basic chart is also a fun and simple chart, though I think that it’s more of a 3 footer. However, I think that the first section in particular (before the first set of jumps) could use some spicier patterns, such as crossover patterns.
The standard chart was also very nice, though I felt that the final set of mines didn’t make much sense to me. (I liked the beginning use of the mines, and none of them were too bad, though maybe they detracted from the visibility a little bit. I’m guessing this is your mine dump
)The heavy chart is really nice, there isn’t much I can say about it. If there’s one thing I can say about it though, is that jumps/freezes (leaning towards the former) could be used in the break section (with only 4th notes) to add emphasis.
The challenge chart was perfection, so I can’t really say anything about it here.
Blu-Bird- The beginner chart was very simple, and seems like a very good chart to start a new player off with!
The basic chart was also very nice, and I especially loved the ending patterns! My only minor quibble would be that I was expecting a left-down arrow freeze on beat 59 instead of an up-down freeze arrow, as I feel that that would make for the perfect balance between symmetry and pad feel. Like I said though, that’s a minor quibble, and this chart is very good!
I love the standard chart, especially the freeze patterns from 10-17, the spin in measures 36-37, and the 8th patterns after the slowdown!
The heavy chart was also nice, and there isn’t anything I can say here.
The challenge chart is a great demonstration of a very difficult chart, as all of the complicated patterns come together beautifully and seamlessly. The last mines were a tad strange, though…
Candy Dash- I love the piano of this track!
The basic chart was pretty good; I liked the gradual difficulty curve, and the steps made plenty of sense.
The standard chart was also pretty good, with some fairly fun gallops, though it probably wouldn’t be too unfitting for a 7 footer.
The heavy chart was very delicious with its streamy magic! I can’t say much about this chart, and it captivated me unlike the lower difficulty charts. The only thing that I would change personally would be measures 35-36, since, though it’s symmetrical to the previous pattern of measures 33-34, it doesn’t really acknowledge the piano’s change in tone (while the piano in the previous measures had a constant tone). That might just be personal preference, though.
Castle of Dreams- I enjoyed the beginner chart a lot, but I found the difficulty drop for the final section a little strange.
The basic chart was enjoyable too! Personally, though, I would have made the left arrow jacks in measure 19 left-right jumps instead, but the rest of the chart was great! (I really appreciate the final 8th notes, too!)
The standard chart is lovely! The freeze notes from measures 37-42 fit my tastes to a T!
The heavy chart was also very well crafted! I especially liked the use of the gallops, and the rolls were a nice touch.
Cheat Codes- The light chart was pretty nice, though some of the 8th patterns at the end make this at least a 5. (The difficulty was a little unbalanced, to be fair.)
The standard chart was very good. (I personally would have liked for it to have ended with a jump, though.
The heavy chart was also very good, with very cool direction changes and great rhythms!
Clear ft. Mothica- The basic chart was nice, though I felt that some of the 8th patterns made it a borderline 3 footer, bleeding into a 4. There were some doublesteps, though (measure 22 (beat 86), and measure 34 (beat 134)) that I felt hampered the chart’s quality a little bit.
The standard chart had some very fun parts, but also unfortunately had a doublestep from measures 25-26this could be the fault of the pattern ambiguity after the up-down jump after the stop, but if I stepped the left arrow with my left foot, I would face backwards after beat 102 if I didn’t doublestep. One possible solution for this is to make the up arrow on beat 101 face left instead. I also felt that the down 8th note after the left-right jump on beat 151 was ambiguous; a freeze arrow on the foot you don’t want to use on the down arrow would be effective, in my opinion.
The heavy chart was pretty nice, though I would rate it a 9 due to the difficult 16th section. (Personally, I didn’t appreciate the 16ths leading up to the up-down jump in measure 16.) There’s also a doublestep I found in measure 18; I feel that making the 16th note at beat 68.75 face left instead of right would rectify this issue. The use of freeze arrows were great, though.
Colors- I loved the spins that you incorporated in the basic chart! Measures 13-20 were too repetitive for me though, and I would suggest having the jumps in various different directions.
The standard chart wasn’t quite as good to me, though the rhythms were fine. For one, the opening was very ambiguous, and stepping on the wrong foot would mean facing backwards at the end of the pattern; I feel the best way to rectify this issue would be by having a left-right jump instead of an up-down jump to start the song. To keep the 90 degree rotation established throughout much of the pattern, I would start on an up-right jump and keep rotating (up-left, down-left, down-right, up-right, up-left, down-left) until you reach the left-right jump. The down arrow at the start of measure 20 is also very ambiguous, so, like most similar patterns, I would make one of the arrows of the left-right jump (in this case, the right arrow) that precedes it (beat 75) a freeze arrow, to avoid this issue. I felt that measure 20 should have added a 16th to bridge the 4th and the 8th, as the omission doesn’t make sense to me. There were also some sections (measures 34-35, 45-46) that eventually work themselves out, but feel awkward.
The heavy chart, again had great rhythm choices, and better patterning (in my opinion) that the standard chart, but still has a handful of doublesteps that drag this file down. The first one I saw was on the left 4th note on beat 88. There’s also another doublestep around measures 27/28, which you could possibly fix by making the right 4th note at beat 104 face up or right. Another doublestep occurs at measure 34, which you could rectify by making the up arrow at beat 133 face right just like the previous arrow. Yet another doublestep occurs between measures 39-40, which I would rectify by making the 4th and 16th up arrows face right instead, so that the player will spin and face forward again. One more doublestep appears in measure 45, and fixing it would require flipping the direction of the left-right-right right pattern from beats 178.5-180 so that it starts on the right arrow. I also disagree with the patterning of measures 46-48 a little, and I would prefer if the 8th arrow changed directions on the 3rd 8th note instead of the 2nd one. (To use the first one as an example, instead of right-up-right-down-right-down-up, it would go right-up-right-up-right-down-up.) I also think that measures 50-52 should have used patterns with more consistency (such as crossover patterns), much like what measures 46-48 accomplished. Regardless, measure 50 has a doublestep that I don’t know how to fix without using a jack, and the rest of the patterns, if not double-stepped, lead me to end perpendicular to the screen, which isn’t too bad, though I’d prefer to face forward. (In certain scenarios, turning the player away from the screen works if you do it at the very end.) As a whole, the chart has fairly good rhythms and patterning that isn’t bad, but has plenty of doublesteps, which are usually poisonous for a file in this contest.
Destiny Island- The beginner chart is great with a spin, nothing to say here.
The basic chart is also great with a spin, nothing to say here.
The standard chart is once again great with a spin, nothing to say here. (Though the spin is in a different place
)The expert chart was fantastic, but no spin!? :’(
That aside, I loved many of your patterns here, especially the 8th crossovers. I noticed the that you went from the right arrow to the left arrow at beat 149, and there didn’t seem to be a musical reason for this, so I’m guessing it was some sort of post stepping patchwork, not that it degrades the flow though.
The challenge chart was also great but no spin here either!? My heart exploded in grief! <:’(
Don’t Let Me Down- Maybe the 8th are a little unfitting for a 2, but overall I feel that this difficulty rating is appropriate. However, the jacks of measures 11-13 are 1 measure longer than the vocals, so I would make the fifth and final arrows for each jack turn to a different direction. (Personally, I would suggest an up arrow for the first pattern, and a right arrow for the second pattern.) The 8th notes that go to the vocals in measures 29-30 are a little strange, so I would omit them and continue stepping to the instrument that you were stepping to previously. The 4th note run from measures 43-46 was a little strange, but it was fun, and what I hoped to see more of in a basic chart. (Though those would push it into the 3-4 territory…) The final freeze arrow is also a little boring, so I would augment it with some additional quarter notes to go with the changing piano keys.
As for the standard chart, I would change the 8th note in the middle of measure 7 (beat 26.5) to face right instead of up for sake of consistency with the later patterns. Also for a little more consistency, I would change the gallop pattern in measure 10 from left-up/down-right to up-down/up-left. There’s also a doublestep in measure 14, which can easily be changed by changing the direction of beat 54.75’s 16th from left to right. In measure 23, the down 8th that extends the 3-note jack to span 5 notes is superfluous and inconsistent with subsequent patterns, so it would be much better omitted. Measure 34’s 8th note pattern leads to a doublestep if you start stepping it with your left foot, facing the screen; I would change it to another pattern, such as down-left-right or up-right-left. For measure 42, the 16th stream isn’t problematic, but I felt it would be more logical to face left-right instead of up-right, considering that the previous 16th stream was up-down. The chart as a whole isn’t bad though, though some of the rhythm choices were a little strange.
Regarding the heavy chart, the beginning’s loose following of the vocals came off as a tad unprofessional, though not horrible as far as the fun factor goes. Notable, the middle of measure 4 derails from the lyrics a little, leaving ‘miracle’ without steps and instead attending to an imaginary triplet; this doesn’t work well in my opinion, so I would move the triple to ‘miracle’ and make the triplet use only 8ths instead. The 5-note 16th pattern also is negligent of the word ‘miracle’ while stepping imaginary notes. Measure 14 has a possibly omitted 16th note (‘I’) which is fine, but as it is, the jack feels a little awkward, so I would change the 4th note that starts the measure to face down. I’m also not a fan of the 5-note 16th pattern in this measure that loosely follows the vocals, so I would use the same 32nd rhythm that you used earlier and make it down-up-down-left instead. The fast section has a strange rhythm choice, and the omission of the 8th from beat 86.5 was particularly strange. The rest of the chart is fine, but noticeably inconsistent with its patterns, moreso than with some of the other files I’ve played.
Give Me Up- The beginner chart starts two measures early in my opinion, as well as every other chart except the basic one. For measures 9-17, I think 1 arrow/measure would have made more sense than what is currently there (1 arrow/2 measures), though the arrows could still change directions every two measures. The omitted arrows in beats 108, 116, and 124 also don’t make any sense to me. Also, I felt the section from 224-256 should have swapped places with the section from 96-128 in terms of pattern difficulty. The 4th jumps in measure 56 don’t seem to go to a strong instrument, so I don’t feel that they should be here. The small flaws in this chart make me feel that you didn’t spend too much time on this chart…
I like the basic chart, but it feels sloppy at parts. For example, during the first jump stream, beat 44 felt like it should have had a jump, but it lacks one, unlike all of the other measure-starters in the area. Also, I don’t like the generalization of the vocal 8ths, which happens a few times throughout the song, such as in beat 68 (which should be beat 67.5), in beat 110 (which should be beat 109.5)… The next part (do you want to make a fool of me…) essentially ignores the previous part and does a full 4th stream, which comes off as careless. The freeze arrow for the refrain is strange, but at least it is applied consistently for the first part. Also, there are some doublesteps after the freeze arrows end at beats 139 and 147, though they’re easy to spot as the offending arrows face right. The feeling of this chart not having too much attention is also present here, though for what it is, it flows decently well.
I felt as if the standard chart could have a little more variety than two-arrow 8th patterns during the initial part (such as left-down-left-right-left-down-left-etc…), and the initial 8th triplets and jumps don’t seem to go to anything in particular. I thought that the lack of the 4th-16th-8th pattern in measure 15 was confusing as well. The 5-note 8th pattern in measures 38-39 also had no sense to it, as far as I could tell. The same could be said for the omitted 8th note at beat 174.5. (I see why you did this, but in that case, I would extend the up-right pattern down to beat 175, start the next pattern on a left arrow instead of a down arrow, and make beat 185 a down arrow instead of a right arrow. Overall, I think the inconsistencies are smaller than on the lower difficulty charts, but they’re still noticeable. (Also, personally, I feel that this is more of a difficult 6 than a 7.)
I also liked the heavy chart, though maybe a little easy for a 9. (I would have liked to seen the gallops used in the harder charts.) Measures 52-53 have a doublestep, which I would change by changing the right arrow at beat 203 to a left arrow.
The challenge chart was a strange ITG addition, though as I mentioned before, I liked the gallop patterns, and the 8th patterns from beat 160-184. Measure 20 was ambiguous, so would consider changing the down arrow of beat 79 to a left arrow. Also, the difficulty was strangely arranged to me, especially with how the first instrumental section consisted of 16th streams, while the second instrumental section only had 8th patterns.
The edit chart seems mostly like a hardcore dump stream, so I won’t scrutinize it since I’m already bad at high-level charts.
I Just Wanna See You- The basic chart has some great patterns (especially with the freeze notes), so no complaints here.
The standard chart was also pretty good, though I felt that the spin starting on beat 96 had the player face backward for too long.
The loved the heavy chart’s variety of patterns, though maybe it went a little overboard with the jacks. This feels like a borderline 7, as it could easily pass for an 8.
I’m An Albatraoz- I enjoyed the spins, stops, and patterns in the basic chart, but there were a few doublesteps. The first doublestep I saw was in measure 17, which could be fixed by changing the down arrow in beat 67 to face right instead. The up arrow jacks following the down-right jump were definitely ambigious, so I would also consider changing the jump to be up-right instead, and making the down arrow on beat 68 face up instead. The stop in measure 61 also happens to be a footswitch, I would mark it with a mine, if possible (possibly on the left/right panels on beat 243.5, but there are many ways to mark it with a mine), or eliminate the footswitch by making the down arrow on beat 244 face right instead. (There might be more, but these are the only ones I’m certain of. The rest, if any, could be spins, so I’ll have the benefit of the doubt there.) One trait of the chart that I personally wasn’t a fan of was the long freeze arrow without any complimentary arrows, which appeared in measures 12 and 27; I prefer freeze arrows such as the one from measures 52-53, except at the climax of a song’s buildup. Also, beat 236 is almost inaudible when using my headphones, so it would probably be inaudible to someone when playing on a pad; I would suggest omitting this particular note. It’s definitely not bad for someone who doesn’t have much experience with pad contests, though!
The standard chart is much the same. I personally think that the doublestep patterns starting in measure 8 are certainly not bad for being unmarked doublesteps, but the problem is, doublesteps in these Simfile Contests (from what I’ve seen, at least) are like firearms in an airport; they should be marked such that a player knows to doublestep them (instead of trying to spin on them, which doesn’t work well), or they could very well ruin a simfile. To avoid this issues entirely, I would suggest switching up directions for each time the pattern is done, instead of every two times, as the chart currently has. There’s another doublestep to be found in measure 15; I would rectify it by changing the arrow at beat 59 to face right instead of left, and to make the down-up jump that follows a left-right jump instead. I would also suggest dragging down the freeze arrow in measure 28 down to the start of measure 29 (beat 112), since most files I’ve seen so far expect you to use the leg that you used for the freeze arrow to step the next note after the freeze arrow ends; extending will help make it clear that beat 112 should be double-stepped, which appears to be the case. Again, I like the patterns on measure 35-36 (specifically, the footswitches), but it might be better if you marked them with a mine. In addition, I would change the right arrow at beat 145 to an up arrow, so that the player can straighten out. Stepping the various stops here would have also been a good addition to this chart. To avoid another slight doublestep, I would consider changing the 12th left note at beat 176.67 to face right instead. The freeze arrow at beat 207 was a little conservative, and I wished that the compliments spanned across all 3 arrows instead of just 2 (up/right), much like what’s in the heavy chart. Measure 61 was ambigious but also interesting, with the left foot starting the down arrow jacks making for a spin, and the right foot starting them making for a footstep. Overall, a fun chart with a few technical nitpicks.
The heavy chart started quite nicely! For one, I would change the 12th left note at beat 52.67 to face right. I would also change the left arrow at beat 131 to face right, to avoid any problems with doublestepping. Personally, I’m not a big fan of how the stop section with the 8th notes were stepped; for starters, I would start with a up-left jump or a left-right jump instead of the up-right jump in the chart, since that is the least problematic, flow-wise. Perhaps, for this section, having the 4th/8th notes all be jumps would be feasible, considering it follows repetitive vocals that change pitch. Furthermore, I would change the left arrow on beat 179 to a down arrow to avoid any issues with doublestepping. For that same reason, I would also suggest flipping the direction of the right-left gallops from beat 195 to beat 198, so that it starts on the left arrow instead of the right one, and mirror the gallop patterns from (202.67-205), so instead of reading left-right/up-down/left-right, it would read right-left/down-up/right-left. The 4-arrow 12th pattern in measure 52 is also very unfitting, especially with the jump, so I would either omit the left arrow from the left-up jump freeze (making it only a freeze arrow), or (what I personally lean towards) remove all of the 12th notes. I have a similar with the up 12th note leading up to the down-right jump, so I would replace the pattern with a down-right gallop. Overall, the chart isn’t bad, but the beginning was definitely better than the ending.
ID- Technical BPM gimmicks that work well? No wonder you’re winning this week…
The beginner chart was nice, no problems there.
The basic chart flowed well, and I liked the jacks near the end. I was expecting some 4th notes to be used at the very end, though.
I really liked how the standard chart flowed! I noticed that the 8th pattern starting measure 34 was strangely different from the subsequent repetitions, but it works for the sake of flow.
The expert chart was very nice (the choice of patterns interesting), and I was almost holding my breath when the stop arrived!
If The Rain Falls (Red Monster Mix)- The slowdown is a little questionable…
The beginner chart is pretty good for the most part, though some parts aren’t to friendly to playing ‘DDR Helper style’ (returning the feet to the center after pressing a panel), which I use to play beginner charts. In any case, there Is a doubles step in measure 12, so I would flip the down-up-down-up pattern starting at beat 44 to up-down-up-down. I liked the jack pattern in measure 20, and found it unfortunate that it didn’t return in measure 24. Some of the freeze arrows in this chart also didn’t feel too necessary.
The basic chart is not bad, but it has some flaws. For instance, I found a doublestep in measure 11, which can be avoided by making the freeze arrow on beat 39 face left instead of right. I also felt that the up/down arrows in measures 25-26 that come after the left-right jump freezes could have also been freeze notes that last one beat long. The freeze arrows in measure 33-34 were also unnecessary, and in addition, there is a doublestep within these measures; I would fix this by making the arrows face down-right-left instead of down-up-right. Finally, I don’t see a reason not to extend the up freeze arrow in measure 40 down to beat 160.
For the standard chart, I have no idea why the jump pattern that is in measure 5 isn’t also featured, in some form, at the start of the chart. There’s also a doublestep at measure 20, which could possibly be fixed by making the 8th pattern use the right/left panels instead of the up/left panels. There’s also another doublestep in measure 34, assuming the right foot is used to hit the right panel, so I would switch the direction of the left-right arrows in beats 135-136 to become left-right. The triplets in measure 39-40 don’t end well if you don’t doublestep them, so I would consider changing the down-left-up pattern to down-left-right, at least for the purposes of this contest. The jumps in measure 44 came off as a little carelessly applied to me. Finally, I think it would be appropriate to add an additional 8th note at the very end of the song, in beat 239.5.
As for the heavy chart; measure 10 had a doublestep that I didn’t catch, so I would extended the freeze arrow in the middle of the measure (that ends before the triplet) by an 8th. There’s a doublestep in measure 31, so I would make the triplet pattern in the middle of measure 30 go up-down-right instead of up-down-up. Yet another doublestep appears in measures 52-53, so I would make the right arrow at beat 207 an up arrow.
Is the Sunrise Coming- The basic chart was very nice, no complaints here. (Maybe the first pattern was a little strange, but it works/flows well.)
The standard chart is also very good! My only nitpick here is that the patterns during measures 45-46 are a little different from the patterns during measures 53-54 for no discernable reason.
You also did a very good job with the heavy chart! (I was about to suggest adding more jumps, but saw that you added them near the end.)
It’s all about me (feat. Sisquo)- The beginner chart was a soulful match to the song!
The basic chart was also very good, though more of a 2. The pattern change is perhaps a little weird, though.
The standard chart is also very good, no complaints here.
The heavy chart is also very good. The 16th jack-turns may be a little unusual, but they work well at the low BPM.
Iya hon no uchuu (Headphone of the Universe)- The beginner chart was pretty good for the most part, but I didn’t enjoy the section where you face perpendicular to the left starting at beat 32 (the left freeze arrow at the slowdown), which can easily be avoiding by making the freeze arrow face right instead of left.
For the basic chart, I found the blank space after the slowdown to be strange; it would have made more sense to continue with the 8th notes right after the slowdown was over. Also, the direction of the 8th arrows during beats 38.5-45.5 were a little strange to me; I would suggest using the down-right (respectively) panels for this specific section instead of left-down. For the 4th notes up to beat 78, I felt that they could use more variety than what was actually used. In addition, I would suggest changing beat 80’s right arrow to face left to be consistent with the later pattern (and also because it flows better, in my opinion). Furthermore, I would make the freeze arrows in measures 26-27 two beats instead of only one beat long; ditto for the freeze arrows in measures 34-35, and in measures 50-51. (I see why you made it only one beat, but I felt that the freeze arrow should stay primarily with the vocals.) Other than that, the chart is pretty good.
As far as the standard chart goes, I like the use of the freeze arrows starting at measure 5! Personally, the first trait of the chart that I felt could be problematic would be the 32nd gallop during the slowdown; I would suggest removing the 16th before the gallop and make the pattern a 4th-32nd-16th for easier reading, especially for players at this level. (You could also add a 32nd before the next 16th note to make it also a gallop, since I feel that would feel more intuitive.) Like on the basic chart, I felt that the freeze arrows in measures 26-27 and measures 34-35 should be lengthened by one beat, and the patterns also should be adjusted to suit. Other than that, I like this chart quite a bit
The heavy chart was a little strange for my liking, but definitely not bad! Personally, I felt that the complete lack of karaoke stepping when the vocals come in (stepping only to the 8th beat) was an unorthodox match with the complex patterns in this song; I would consider stepping the vocals (since they provide a more interesting rhythm in this section than the beat that stays by itself), and if need be, make it a challenge chart, and step an easier heavy chart (~8 feet) that doesn’t use 32nds, at least outside the slowdown. Also, I felt that the gallops in the beginning (a weird patterning choice to begin with) could have used some more variety, given the length of the section.
Lastmint- In the basic chart, there is ambiguous jump in measure 8 (beat 31), and the correct foot to step it on (to avoid a doublestep) feels very awkward; I would eliminate the issues by making the arrow that comes after it a right arrow instead of an up arrow. Another doublestep can be found in measure 16, which can be fixed by changing the up arrow at beat 61.5 to a down arrow. Another one pops up at measure 24, which can be fixed by changing the down arrow at beat 93.5 to an up arrow. Yet another one appears at measures 36-41, which can be fixed by swapping the directions of the long down/up freeze arrows. One more pops up at measure 47, which can be fixed by changing the directions of the right arrows at beats 184 and 186 to left arrows. Again, a doublestep can be found in measure 53, which can be fixed by changing beat 208’s left arrow to a right arrow. One more doublestep can be found in measure 61, which can be fixed by changing the right arrow at beat 243 to a left arrow. (Though, with this suggestion, you would also need to change the down arrows in measures 253.5 and 256 to up arrows.) And again, a doublestep can be found in measure 69; assuming you want to keep the left 8th, I would change the pattern in measures 69-71 from up-left-right-down-up-left-right-down-up-down-up to down-up-left-right-down-up-left-right-down-up-down. Finally, I don’t believe that turning the player away from the screen is a good idea if you want to end with a jump, so I would either eliminate the jump, or change the down freeze note to an up freeze note. Personally, I also think that the 8th from measures 52 onwards were weird for this chart, but they weren’t too bad. Such a shame that you placed so many doublesteps that hurt the flow of the song, because otherwise it was a decently good chart.
Fortunately, the standard chart doesn’t seem to be plagued with as many doublesteps as the basic chart. The pattern in measure 50 is difficult to perform without doublestepping; I feel that changing the left arrow to a right arrow doesn’t seem to be as unfairly difficult. Measure 54 also faces the player backwards if no doublesteps are performed, and fixing it would require a 4th jack. The same can be said about measure 58, so I would change the left arrow in beat 231 into a right arrow, and, make the right arrow that follows a down arrow. Additionally, I would change the right arrow on beat 256 into a left arrow to avoid a doublestep. Finally, I would change the up freeze arrow on beat 285.5 into a down freeze arrow.
For the heavy chart, I would consider changing the left arrow at beat 72 into a down arrow. Moreover, I would change the right-left-right pattern from beats 96-97 to a left-right-left one. Additionally, I would consider changing the up arrow at beat 100 into a right arrow, to avoid ambiguity and more clearly make it into a spin. I would also change the right-up-down-left pattern starting measure 30 into a right-down-left-up pattern, so that the player can straighten out without having to doublestep. The up freeze arrow at measure 32 is borderline unnecessary, so I would delete it. (That also eliminates another potential problem when the 8th streams start.) Additionally, I would change measure 70’s 8th pattern from up-down-left-right-up-down-left-up to left-up-down-right-up-down-up, to avoid another doublestep and have the player face the left. Also, I really don’t think this has much business being a 9; PARANOiA MAX ~Dirty Mix~ has a higher BPM and longer streams, yet it is still an 8. (PARANOIA Evolution is a further example of a harder 8, at an even higher tempo.) Other than the doublesteps, though, it’s not bad.
Lato i morze- The beginner chart is good, nothing wrong here.
The basic chart was great, and the 8th freezes were a welcome surprise!
The standard chart was also great, and the patterns were exactly what I would expect!
The heavy chart was also very fun! My only nitpick was that beat 207 felt that it ignored that the vocals ended; perhaps to acknowledge it, I would make it face down or right instead. But really, what do I know about stepping?
LET'S CELEBRATE- I liked the basic chart, nothing bad to say about it here.
For the standard chart, I felt that the isolated 8ths were strange, and that perhaps 4th notes should have been added to form a gallop pattern instead. (That might make the chart more of a 5, though.) The rest of the chart was fun, though!
The heavy chart is pretty fun overall, so not much to say here.
Let’s Dance, Boys!- The beginner chart was very fun! My only complaint is during measures 41-48, with the freeze arrows; the non-freeze arrows seem logistical, but musically, they don’t make much sense.
The basic chart was also great! However, I would extend the freeze arrow in measure 30 by one beat to make sure the right arrow is doublestepped, and for the non-freeze arrows during measures 41-48, make the first non-freeze arrow in each pattern have a freeze arrow that connects the two together.
The standard chart was pretty good. I noticed that beat 55.5/71.5 didn’t have an arrow for an undiscernible reason, which I found strange. I liked your step-jump patterns, though!
The heavy chart was great! The turn backwards was interesting, though a little questionable.
Like a Nameless Flower- The basic chart was pretty good, though the patterns in the last few measures seem to form an unintentional doublestep. I wondered why the last arrow didn’t end on a freeze, though.
The standard chart was also very good, no complaints here.
I liked the heavy patterns here too, though it would have been cool to see a challenge chart (preferably a 9 footer) with a more extensive use of 16ths.
Lush Life- The beginner chart is fun, but it is weirdly inconsistent and loose with following the audio. Take the jacks from measures
8-9; I felt that they should have followed the vocals, since that’s more prominent, but they go an extra note beyond the vocals. (You had the right idea from measures 28-29.) The right arrow on beat 36 feels like a doublestep that could have easily been avoided by making it a left arrow instead, in case anyone isn’t playing this by returning the feet to the center after hitting every panel. (I could see this being a problem if it makes you want to flip the direction of beat 40’s left note, and in this case, flip the directions of the jacks in measures 14-15.) The harder jacks sandwiched between the easy patterns of measures 10-11 and measures 16-17 were also littles strange; I would have preferred trying to build up difficulty in a more straightforward fashion, styling measures 12-13 like you did measures 10-11, and having the jacks in measures 14-17. Other than that, it was pretty good.
The basic chart was also pretty fun. The minor inconsistencies in between measures 10-18 were strange, but I liked the rest of the chart.
I liked the standard chart too! One nitpick I had was that the down arrow in beat 62 should have been a down (right jump), to keep consistency with all of the other jumps.
The heavy chart was also nice, though personally I preferred the standard chart. I found it a little weird how you only stepped the 8th note in the ending instead of also stepping the surrounding 16ths, given the plethora of complex patterns throughout the song.
MY D*CK- The beginner chart was pretty good, and I liked the spins near the end.
I liked the basic chart quite a bit too! For the starting section though, I would have liked to see every other freeze arrow (starting with the 2nd one, ending with the 8th) to have freezes that are 3/16ths long, or even just 1 beat long.
The standard chart was also very fun, in my opinion! I would add a 16th at the very end. though (so move the final 4th note up a 16th), for increased contrast with the rest of the chart.
I love the heavy chart too! Personally, one thing I would have liked to see is for measures 10-12 to continue carrying on the jumpsteps that were present in the earlier measures (6-9), but other than that, I enjoyed every step!
Nanakorobi Yaoki- Splendid beginner chart! I personally would have preferred for the right-left-right patterns to be jacks instead so that it’s more friendly to those playing ‘DDR Helper Style’ (where feet return to the center after hitting a panel), but that’s simply a small nitpick against a fun and energetic chart!
The basic chart was also very fun! Nothing to complain about here.
The difficult chart was also very fun, so nothing to complain about here either.
The heavy chart was also practically perfect, so no complaints here either.
And, like the heavy chart, the challenge chart was practically perfect and flowed excellently.
Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix)- The beginner chart was pretty nice, though I noticed a doublestep starting a measure 21, which could be cut short be flipping the directions of the arrows in measures 29 and 35.
The basic chart was pretty nice and spin-filled.
The standard chart was also nice with a spin, though simple.
The heavy chart was also not bad, though I felt that it switched difficulty ratings with ‘It’s All About Me (feat. Sisquo). I wasn’t too sure if the strange direction in measures 13-14 was intentional, given the mines used, but if it wasn’t, I would suggest flipping the directions of the right-left arrows in this section. I would have liked if you had stepped the 4th-16th-8th during the “Ladies Night” vocals instead of only 4th notes. The step jumps are fun, and though I can see this possibly leading you to rate this a seven, I doubt that it’s out of the question for a 6 footer at 99.50 BPM.
PLS Go Fast- With the relatively difficult basic chart, a beginner chart would have been nice…
Anyways, the basic chart was fun and had no issues whatsoever for a 5-footer.
The standard chart was also cool, though the very end would have been a nice place to place a roll, at least in the ssc file.
The heavy chart was also nice, so no complaints here.
Oh Darling Don’t Cry- Probably the most unsafe for work song I have heard on this site :3 That aside, I personally think the song’s volume is fine, and I doubt most people here have very convoluted volume controls, so clipping the audio is probably unneeded.
The basic chart is pretty difficult for a basic chart, but it works very well. The gallop before measure 33 was the only annoyance that I could find, since it seems to me an 8th note would have fitted better.
The standard chart was pretty difficult for an 8 footer, but also very fun. The only issue I had with this chart was that some of the jumps were a little jarring, and very ambiguous (the opening also has this problem by starting on the up/down panels, but to a lesser extent). The ones that gave me an issues included the left-up jump in measure 12 (maybe changing it to a left-right jump would have been a little better), the down-right jump in measure 24 (I would change the 16th preceding it into a down arrow), and the up-left jump in measure 40 (I would change the 16th preceding it into an up arrow, though it seems that there may be other reasons for it being a down arrow). These are pretty subjective, though, and the chart as a whole is quite nice!
The heavy chart is also quite nice; sometimes it feels like it’s stepping to many things at once, but it doesn’t do a bad job of doing so.
Prime- The beginner chart is great, except for cutting off early, though that must be the song’s fault for starting the vocals a 16th early.
Liked the basic chart too, right up to the end. Maybe you could have had the final jump be a freeze jump, with one arrow lifting up after the start of each vocal line.
The standard chart is pretty good, too. The final 4th notes, should be moved up a 16th though, since the final section has no instrumental backing, so they seem at least slightly weird, if not nonsensical.
The heavy chart is very nice, though it shares that same strange ending pattern as the standard chart.
REVOLUTION- The beginner chart has a doublestep early one, which can be fixed by altering the direction of the up-down patterns in measures 20-21. I also think that this chart (and all other charts except challenge) should end the final freeze note a beat later to end at the same time the challenge chart’s song ends, or only lift one freeze arrow up when it currently ends instead of both arrows.
The basic chart was nice, no complaints here.
For the standard chart, I felt that the up-down freeze arrow was too much of a leap of faith as far as choosing the correct direction for the next patterns, and personally it went counter to the direction I felt was more intuitive; you could change the right arrow at beat 31 to an up arrow to elucidate this, but I feel it would damage the 8th pattern that was going before the freeze arrow. (Alternatively, you could change the pattern from right-up-right-down-up-left right to right-up-right-down-left-down-up, just to name another pattern that seems to work. I felt that the left-right-left pattern in beats 60-61 was strange, since it didn’t seem to go to any vocals or instrumentation; I would have preferred a 3-note pattern from beats 58-59 instead. I liked the freeze notes from measures 24-25, but for the second one, the vocal ‘hold’ ended a beat earlier than the freeze arrow did. Other than that, I liked this chart.
I like the heavy chart a fair amount too. However, in measure 21, I felt that it was more natural to flip direction after the 8th pattern and take the up-down jump facing left; in this case, the up-right jump is counterintuitive, and an up-left jump (which would also warrant changing the direction of the arrow that follows after into facing up) would work better. (Not too sure how many others also feel this way…) Strangely enough, I also found it more intuitive to keep up facing right for beat 180’s up-down jump, which creates a doublestep issue. (I know it’s borderline hypocrisy for me to suggest that for one jump I would switch directions, and for another jump I wouldn’t, but if you want to eliminate this issue for people who played like I did, the easiest way would be to make beat 180.5, 181.5, and 182.5 up arrows instead of down arrows, changing the direction of the crossovers.
The challenge chart was pretty good, and though it has a bunch of ‘blanket’ 8ths and other things that seem to be there to bolster the rating, I have to admit that I’m admit that I’m a sucker for the 8th streams, and everything is executed pretty well. I felt that measures 26-29 should have stepped strictly to the vocals/piano though.
Schizophrenia- The beginner chart was very fun in my opinion!
In the basic chart, I noticed a doublestep in measures 31-33, which could be fixed by changing the right arrow in beat 125 into a left arrow, and changing the right-down-right-left-up pattern that follows into a left-down-left-right-up pattern, flipping the pattern. I also felt that it was more intuitive to step the up-down jump at beat 146 facing left, which makes the next patterns force the player to doublestep; that could just be me, I would consider flipping the directions of the patterns from beats 148-150. Other than that, this chart was pretty good for what it is.
Stepping only the guitar for the standard chart? It works pretty well here. I found it strange, though, when measures 43-46 had no freeze arrows, but measure 47-49 had them, with no discernable change in the music. During measure 64, the left-right 8th pattern in beats 254.5-255 came in a beat early to the music, and I would have preferred that this pattern be moved down a beat and have an 8th jump in its place. Other than that, this chart is executed pretty well.
For the heavy chart, I feel that the up-left jump at beat 64 should be replaced with an up-right jump, especially given the speed of this song. For a similar reason, I think it would have flowed better if the left-right jump on beat 233 was replaced by a right arrow, and if the left-down gallop in measure 59 was replaced by a left-right gallop. Besides that, I’m not too sure if the 16th triplet from beat 277-277.5 is present in the music. Also, I’m personally not a fan of the jacks at the end. For the most part, though, this chart is quite good.
For the challenge chart, the jumps are a little strange, but not too bad in my opinion. I feel that changing beat 42’s left arrow into a right arrow to make the pattern a crossover would add a little spice to this section of the chart. I’m not a fan of the forced up-down doublesteps in measure 58, especially at this speed, and there’s also a doublestep that comes after the freeze arrow stops, which can be fixed by changing the direction of the 16th stream, or lengthening the freeze arrow into the new measure. (I also started to notice the copying/pasting from the heavy chart, though at least the jump that irked me in the previous chart was removed.) Finally, there was another doublestep at the very end, which could be fixed by making the 8th note in beat 328.5 face right instead of left.
ShibuyaK- The beginner chart was pristine! I absolutely couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
Similar to the beginner chart, the basic chart was also sublime!
I have similar feelings for the standard chart, so nothing to say here.
The heavy chart is also great! One tiny nitpick I have is with the 16th notes on beat 91.25; it does seem ambiguous as to whether it should be stepped as a 4th note or a 16th notes (and seems to be neither), but when playing this song at 0.3x speed in the editor mode, it seems that the former is a tad more accurate. Measure 25’s doublestep off the freeze arrow came off to me as a little strange, so maybe I would consider lengthening the left freeze arrow in beat 96 by one beat.
So Young So High- For the basic chart, I felt that the freeze notes from measure 11 to the end of the slowdown should have been extended by an 8th, so that they would all be 1.5 beats long instead of only 1 beat long to better go with the music. Beat 78’s right arrow is inconsistent with the previous patterns, and it doesn’t seem like a well-executed form of increasing difficulty within the same section. Given the previous patterns, there is a doublestep in measure 24, which could be largely mitigated by flipping the up-down-up-down pattern to be down-up-down-up instead. I thought that the jumps in the later portion were fitting to the song, but also that you should have experimented a little more with jump direction changes. Also, I personally don’t think this warrants a 5, but rather a 4 footer at the most.
The standard chart isn’t bad, but is by no means an 8 (I would personally rate this chart a 6); this chart is so overrated for the classic DDR/ITG scale, I wouldn’t be surprised if you rated this song’s charts by the DDR X scale, which you aren’t supposed to do for this competition. The freeze arrow section from measure 11 to the end of the slowdown felt too boring, so I would try to keep up the flow with constant 4th notes or 8th notes. Measures 16-17’s 4th-16th-8th was very ambiguous, so I would make these arrows face right instead of up. For the freeze arrows after this, I would suggest ending the first freeze arrows after the second ones come, so as to avoid any ambiguity with doublesteps. I think it also would have been fitting to make the final jump a jump freeze that lasts a beat long.
As for the heavy chart, I would suggest changing the 16th pattern that starts at beat 14 to left-up-left-left-right-right-down-right, replace the pattern that starts in beat 22 with right-up-right-right-left-left-down-up. I would consider making the 16th note in beat 36.75 face left instead of down, and also have it be a freeze arrow. Measure 27 also presents a likely doublestep, which can be prevented by making the up-right jump in beat 101 into a down-right jump. That should be it as far as the egregrious doublesteps go…
Squad (feat. Dahn Farro)-I love the BPM gimmicks
Plus, those Squirtles reminds me of the monkeys from Ape Escape…The beginner chart had patterns somewhat unfriendly to playing what I have called the ‘DDR Helper’ style (a little much for my liking, but it’s still pretty good.
The basic chart was also very good, no complaints here.
Similar to the previous chart, I have no complaints for the standard chart.
The heavy chart was also great, so nothing to say here.
The challenge chart was also nice...
Stop the Rock-The beginner chart has a doublestep, for those who play this like most charts, at measure 21; this can be fixed by making beat 80’s right arrow face left. I don’t know why beat 104 has a jump when beats 88, 96, and 112 lack it. There’s also a probable doublestep in measure 39, which can be fixed by making the right note of beat 154 a left note. Other than that, I like the chart quite a bit.
I also liked the basic chart, nothing to say here except perhaps the slightly ambiguous start due to starting on the down arrow. (Using the left arrow would have also worked.)
The standard chart was also pretty good, and nothing to say here.
The heavy chart also the same slightly ambiguous starting issue as the basic chart, and I feel it would have been safer to start with the left arrow instead. Other than that, I couldn’t find any glaring flaws, and the chart was pretty well made.
I liked the challenge chart, especially the crossover patterns in the beginning, and again, I couldn’t find any glaring flaws with it.
Strapped For Cash- The beginner chart was pretty good, though I feel that the jacks that start with a freeze arrow and continues beyond that freeze arrow could cause a problem with those who play by returning to the center after the arrow is hit.
The basic chart was pretty good, though I wish some use of 8ths were implemented, especially where you placed some of the 3-jump patterns. I didn’t like the ending though, since unless you lifted the arrow that was on the right freeze arrow to use on the down arrow, you were left facing backwards for the last moments of the chart.
I liked the standard chart, and couldn’t find anything to complain about.
I also liked the heavy chart, and though the freeze-doublestep section was a little hard to follow, it was definitely interesting.
T R Y- I enjoyed the beginner chart quite a lot, and the one section with 3-4th note patterns doesn’t bother be quite as much in a beginner chart (such as say, the 3-note patterns in Squad’s beginner chart) since they go at a slower tempo, and are all grouped together in one section, presumably making it easier for learning players to test their skills at stepping these arrows.
The basic chart was also very nice, and no complaints here.
The standard chart is lovely, but beat 96’s up arrow befuddled me a little, as stepping it as I normally step it would mean a doublestep. However, I take it that you have to step the up-right jump at beat 93.5 facing away from the screen? If so, interesting. Nothing to say other than that.
The heavy chart was great, and I liked the freeze-doublesteps.
The challenge chart was also well-made and a good warmup to footswitches, though I have to admit that I was craving Afronova walks during measure 32, which the chart didn’t satiate.
This Girt (feat. Cookin’ On 3 Burners)- I liked the beginner chart, and I couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
The basic chart was also fun, and I couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
For the standard chart, I felt it would have been appropriate for the right arrow on beat 44 to be a freeze note that goes for 3 beats, and have the next note also be a freeze arrow that lasts a beat long, such that the two end at the same time. However, that is just a small nitpick, and there’s really nothing wrong with this chart.
For the heavy chart, I felt that the 16th pattern in measure 39 was a little strange; I personally would eliminate the 4th right note at beat 153, and make the first 16th note a down arrow instead of an up arrow. Other than that, I though this chart was stepped quite well.
Time, Love, and Tenderness- I already know that the BPM/offset is wrong, so I used AngledLuffa’s suggested values, which work much better.
For the beginner chart, I noticed a doublestep in measure 18, which can be fixed by making beat 70’s left arrow into a right arrow. The climactic “Time, Love, and Tenderness” was begging for a 3-note jack pattern, and I remained puzzled as to why the final note isn’t stepped.
The 16th triplets in the basic charts are a little strange, but the fact that what was supposed to be the 3rd triplet is only an 8th jack is worse, in my opinion; either save the triplet for last, have all of the similar patterns be triplets, or have none of them be triplets. Either way, I feel that attaching small freeze arrows to the 8th notes, depending on the vocals, would have been a good idea. Overall, this chart is a little strangely patterned, especially for a basic chart, but decently good. Not too bad, but I definitely noticed the copy/paste from the light chart, making this chart truly the ‘another’ chart that harkens back to the good old days…
I actually like the heavy chart quite a bit, so no complaints here.
For the challenge chart, I felt that beats 17.5-18.5 formed a good housing for a 16th stream, not just a 4th note currently held. Other than that, the challenge chart was also pretty good.
Violent Arcade- The beginner chart was very nice, nothing to complain about.
The basic chart is also nice, with nothing to complain about.
The standard chart is also very nice…
As is the heavy chart…
Honestly, there’s no point in me touching the challenge chart. I’m sure it’s also excellent, and at this point, other people can better critique this chart.

Can I just ask why we have to include 
and charts if only like 2 or 3 out of 40 people will play them? I can kinda see if the and 
charts are very difficult but not much else otherwise.

I'm all for getting rid of the requirement, but is something we should definitely keep, just so we don't have people who make a ITG 15 and no other charts so only some people could actually play it.

The main theme song of 'Produce 101', the Korean female idol audition TV show. I.O.I is the winners of participates.
Song is just typical EDM. I used the I.O.I version of audio but video is all members of Produce 101 version (because I.O.I version doesn't have official PV)
has ROLLS so you need to SM 3.95 or above. (PLEASE DON'T PLAY THIS IN VANILLA 3.9)

or because the mayority of us are experienced players, but did you know other people (users and guests) can see, download and play the files as well? ;)

Sorry for being a little cheatyface with my timing. I uploaded the song itself before 1pm, but it took me a couple minutes to make the post announcing it. Does that qualify?
Post #316 · Posted at 2016-07-18 05:09:58pm 8.9 years ago
As long as the file is uploaded before 1 pm it's fine.
Edit: The week 2 pack is over 600 MB so it will take a while to upload. Going to go run some errands and get lunch and hopefully it will be done when I get back.

I don't think that's ever been addressed before. I personally think it's fine, just make sure to uncheck the Update Time checkbox and only add graphics (no changes to the SM).
