Stepping Stones of StepMania 3 [CLOSED]

[XelNya]

Eh I wasn't gonna ask but I really do need to know: how much leniency is there on the difficulties?

If I have a really good like easier file, but the harder one ends up being like an 18 or 19 would it get rejected?

or vice versa

[Kraezymann]

Not really no, because it still satisfies the two chart requirement. If the difference between the two difficulties is too great I might ask for a third one in the middle (if possible) but if I can play them both then don't worry about it

Sweet deal.

4 Walls - We good now.

Walk With Me - Fun chart with some cool swing-y stuff. A little long but I think that's offset by them swing notes. A pretty technical file that should prove to be worth trying to MA. More charts please!

Hua Sui Yue - The Medium chart works as a chart for real beginners so I'll probably keep it as is, but the Hard chart has a whole lot of fairly obvious piano sounds missing from it, and stands to be a bit more technical. I like the song so I really hope you work on it some more! Needs work

Butterfly Joe v2 - Lots better. Some of the patterns still feel a little odd to hit, and I would still like to see the very small 48th bursts where those hands are (at 74.s and so on) but those are pretty much my only qualms with the file. Not bad!

Gokusaishiki -
Medium - That's a really wild opening first measure. If I could suggest something: I'd get rid of those 24ths at the very beginning and have just a freeze on the 8th instead, and then turn those 16ths into minijack 12ths. Then at beat 3 you can make all of that 32nds; as long as you make it a fairly simple pattern, most people should be able to get it. Other than that its a pretty solid chart! Yes.
Hard - I don't quite have the speed to hit those bursts... The ones at the beginning and the longer 32nds near the end always get me. Can we compromise somehow? I think that those make it a bit hard for the pack.

I know there's a minimum required difficulty range, but is there an upper limit? If so, what would it be? The last bit of your notes above my post seem to suggest this.

"- around a 17 (yolo4) or easier; or you can check out SSS2 for an idea"

Thanks for the feedback man! I don't really know what spots feel awkward to you, since I stepped it all of it feels pretty natural to me. I'll add those bursts in!

[Kraezymann]

That's the requirement for one chart though. bmah is right, after having another look it is a bit convoluted.

I'll fix the OP in a minute but the idea is about the same as the last pack. I wouldn't like the difficulties to be higher than a 17 ish, just like the ones in SSS2. My mistake! Sorry about the confusion. I would like the hardest chart to be around that or lower

Updated OP to reflect that

Admittedly i was debating ways to tone it a liitle bit, but yeah

Im open to ideas if you have any. Im already gonna modify the 24th jacks i think.

Edit:

Medium - I dunno why I thought 16ths were correct there actually, I like the idea of the 12ths there. I do have to kinda disagree on the 24ths though, because it seems like you think it's to the beep, which it's not (I could be wrong here though) it's to her singing "oh oh oh oh. /thud" Admittedly upon checking it again, I actually had a ghost note So I think removing that makes the pattern more viable. I feel comfortable leaving it because of the songs lower speed makes it easier than it looks. I actually made it an up down mini trill because I felt a one handed trill would be a tad too harsh. I messed with the 32nd pattern a little and instead of going ham, I added an extra note for a 3 note mini roll which I think here makes a little more sense.

Hard: I have no idea how to tame this too much without removing the 48ths. I do (as I said) think the 24th jacks are gonna become trills though. Those jacks are wayy to damn hard. I do better on the 48ths than the jacks and jacks are like the one skill I somewhat retained.

Sorry if that seems a bit like rude or anything. I'm pretty tired and got wrecked in smash so I'm a tad salty. XD

[hi19hi19]

This upcoming weekend I should have time to finish at least one of the files I have for this pack.

[XelNya]

Finally a reason to bump this.

I sent a uh, "fix."

[Leo137]

Leoooo, we should collab on something :B What about something from in the blue shirt's newest album Cyanotype? Was thinking Everyday affair or Chicken Head :B

Was about to suggest My Party Leo but your chart is a 20 and mine is a 15 xD Then again, idk if Kraezy would mind that at all :B

Edit 2: And if I do get around to doing Everyday affair, I want to include the MV that it has

[Leo137]

lmao i didn't even knew about that release, listening right now but by sure i want to make a collab with you <3

don't send my party because it was released in your minipack

edit: i'm totally wet for Chicken Head (:v), lets make that

[Kraezymann]

Oh shit a collab between two of my favourite artists this is gonna be amazing.

Walk With Me is pretty much good now. Such a catchy song! In the light chart I am a little concerned with some of the 24ths patterns with jumps in them, I feel like if you could tone it down just a hair then we would be rockin'. Would you mind terribly? It feels slightly too close the hard chart and I think there needs to be a bit more of a difference between the two.

Up and Down - I can't really stand the song lol. But that really shouldn't matter... the steps are solid and I like the contrast between the slightly easier chorus to the slightly harder everything else.

Honestly Leo, your steps are usually fairly solid so I don't know why you don't just do the second chart in the first place lol

[FinnChap]

I've just one question:
Is this pack going to contain about 30 files like Stepping Stones 2?

[Kraezymann]

Depends on submissions! If it stays slow then I might just make it a minipack and try again when people don't need to worry about school or work or something, but I can't imagine it being much higher than SSS2, no.

[Buta-san]

won chu kiss me is the only file I play from that one anime pack

[choof]

chart coming today

[macgravel]

Might have a submission or two lined up for this.

[Kraezymann]

@ choof and MacG - can't wait!

Sikertelenség - Kinda cool, wasn't expecting that. Needs a second chart though! IMO it should be a slightly easier one to make up for the slight spike in difficulty in the middle of your current chart.
