Ace Of Arrows Vol. 09 - Heartful Transition

Ace Of Arrows Volume 9: Heartful Transition
Originally Released December 2011

About This Pack
* I wrote this pack when I was living a few different places between formal residences, hence its name and its small song count.
* It was right before this pack got started that I was no longer going to the arcade regularly. It would be quite some time before I'd have the ability to play on foot regularly again (January 2017, actually).
* I was clearly still megapacking at this point originally.
* If it weren't for Volume 10 managing to have only 8 songs, this transitionally-released pack would hold the record for fewest songs in any single release I wrote, having 9.
* I was still known as "Ace Of Hearts" when this pack was originally released; this was pre-Twitch.
* In 2018, this pack was carefully checked over as part of my "Bring It Forward" project. This means all songs were given new banners to replace my older, uglier banners, and any songs needing it were re-synced.

Basics Regarding All My Packs
* All of my packs are meant to be paddable.
* I use the ITG (old DDR) scale for ratings. (I never liked the new DDRX scale.)
* As I became a stepartist in 2008 in the era of ITG2, Rolls and Mines have always been considerations. (I also feel Rolls are an underused commodity, so as a result, I love using them when I can find reasons to, though my choice of placement has certainly seen massive improvement over the years.)
* I usually write in SM 3.95 CVS, since ITG2 is based upon it. While I don't hate SM5 elements, I still see no real utility for them (and I hear others feel the same way). So I don't use them. Moreover, my work remains .sm-file-based; I feel .ssc files are too niche and limit the appeal of my work.

About the Zenius Ports of My Packs/Simfiles
* Zenius mandates that I upload DDR-size 256x80 pack banners for inclusion in the pack, which contrasts with the 418x164 ITG-size banners I've always used for everything. The banner you see here in the description is ITG-size 418x164. I'd prefer you replace the DDR-size one with the ITG-size one.
* I am not changing all my song backgrounds to .png files, nor adjusting any video sizes, for Zenius. That's asking too much for a port of my packs that's only going to one place. Anything that doesn't take will be left as is.
* If you want to grab my packs with a guarantee you'll receive them entirely as intended with no filesize constraints, you can visit my website, Ace Of Arrows Simfiles.
