The 64th rolls were pushing it; they're pretty big difficulty spikes despite being a nice climatic element. I'd simplify them to 48th rolls at the very least. Holds are a bit long in length, I'd trim those down by a 16th or less. Also, you don't really need all those mini-holds for the 24ths and the like. Layering in this was definitely solid and felt nice to playthrough. I'll pass this off, but tweaks are encouraged. Yes

I applied some tweaks to the original file. Just wanted to remind you that I sent a reply to the original message with the new .sm file.

[Gundam-Dude]

I check the pack email everyday so you don't have to worry or remind me about a file fix or update. Got it covered.

that was Alien World, the file I (was) stepping is Alien Temple. just to clarify

[BeatofIke]

Send another file.

[Gundam-Dude]

Bridgezone (plopadop)
Very repetitive, but it's okay as a short file. Thought layering in the percussion with jumps would've added some variation and interest rather than strictly sticking with the melody. Yes

Otome Ryouran Battle PARTY (BeatofIke)
I'm a little biased review this 'cause it's a restep of nick's file, which I already really liked. This is a much more minimalistic approach, which isn't bad at all, but I feel that it doesn't quite capture the song as well as nick's file did. Regardless of which, it's different enough from his so it's passable. Yes

Swear Words (Xayphon)
Unique song choice and file was a wc-esque feel to it. Only commentary is that in the second half of the file you could've really used some hands for emphasis on the prominent percussive hits 'cause jumps don't quite do justice to represent it IMO. A little lackluster but you can't really do much with the song. Yes

FLOWER (Akemi Commander)
I really don't like the huge empty gap you left between measures 68~72. You could at the very least fill the gap up with mine placements to layer what you ignored because I thought the file ended right after the [2] note you placed. 32nd holds you layered on those crash hand placements were a little too over emphasized I found. Layering overall was solid and I'm digging those xmod gimmicks. Encourage filling up that empty gap with mines but otherwise this is passable. Yes

Mark's Revenge (Rog)
Digging the layering in this. 32nds aren't all too hard to hit and combo either. Straightforward and enjoyable. lol leonid edit. Yes

Caipirinha (IOSYS Remix) (BeatofIke)
The only thing I found strange is that the hold you used to layer the vocals like "oh ho" and "yeah ah" are on the exact same [2] and [3] notes when they are clearly different in pitch. Layering is minimalistic though I'd definitely dig a much more thoroughly layered chart. It's repetitive from the copy paste job and pretty lackluster as a result. If the file was slightly shorter and if the patterns were more varied up, this would be better. I'll have to think about this one. Maybe

Celestial Tears (Diokatsu)
Some sections are inconsistent as it's missing bass jumps and the 16th solo part near the end feels weird (pitch relevancy seems off?). Otherwise, this file's fun and enjoyable. Yes

43 files in queue. Probably going to cut submissions around 50 or so.

[yo man im awesome]

Two things:

1: Is this for SM or FFR?

2: Would it be wrong of me to send my file to both the easy batch and this?

[Gundam-Dude]

1. Stepmania only.
2. I would advise against submitting those here because simfiles for FFR should remain unreleased. And there's also the fact that FFR simfiles =/= Stepmania simfiles.

[yo man im awesome]

Ah ok, I won't send it in then. I don't play SM. Low chance of it getting accepted anyway :3

WTF, this song was already stepped? Same applies with my Here in the Monent file. I swear, both of these files should have never exist in the first place. Sorry if this is random, but can you remove the file? I just wanted your review. Sorry about this.

This, I definely agree. Rebound told me the same thing, when I asked him to playtest this file. Yes, the song is repetitive and long. Yes, the file could be much better. And yes, I suck at layering and PR, but hell I'm no Light Chancellor. I'm still learning the rules and techniques. I tried to be expressive with this file, but I don't think the file was considered "expressive". Anyway, thanks for the review.

EDIT: "Judge happy"

[Gundam-Dude]

well if you want me to remove otome ryouran, I'll just replace it with caipirinha then, though the former is the better file of the two

and not everybody here has nick's mix and or have played nick's otome ryouran

[Staiain]

Looks like this pack's gonanbe awesome

That is true, but I'm just saying. As for Caipirinha, I'll just fix it and resubmit it. Don't replace it just yet.

[Mithost]

I wont finish a bunch of difficulties for a 4 min song for a while, so I am planning on cutting it so I can get it done. This is my second simfile that is not a raigquit, so please bear with me if it isn't up to the standard.

[AsphyxZero]

Sending something later today.,

[BeatofIke]

Okay, resubmitted Caipirinha.

[bmah]

Uh oh, I better submit something quick...

edit: finished heavy chart for a song, will do standard and light, as well as one solo chart for it
edit 2: nvm, just added a solo instead...
