*Akira* · 07-30-2006, 10:37 PM

Overall, this is a good set of songs. But I think this group lacked some elements I found in OSC4. At least there are a lot of surprises and no more Right ThurRRRrRRrrRrrrRrrr

Great job guys!

Review started at 11:45 PM. Cup of coffee is ready and Stepmania is ready too. My soft pad will be in a lot of trouble tonight.

Review was done on both SM 3.9 Final and SM 4.0 (in case of rolls)

anyway... here we go!

A Ray of Light
Chart: 4/6
EE: 3/4
Solid steps. I was expecting more surprises though.
Total: 7/10

A Voice Spoke To Me Helix Mix
Chart: 4/6
EE: 2/4
The power of Gabber again! No mines and no hands but the steps are more designed for ITG. I experienced some doublestepping but it's fine. The cut is kinda bad. You should have done something with the ending. The graphics are kinda generic though.
Total: 6/10

Asteroid
Chart: 5.5/6
EE: 3/4
This one is HARD. Period.
P.S.: This one has a lot of surprises in store

The graphics are fine too. The downside maybe is there is too much unnecessary freeze steps.
Total: 8.5/10

Bad Boy (Alex M vs. Marc Van Damme Remix)
Chart: 4.4/6
EE: 2.5/4
You just have to love Cascada's music. This one also had solid steps but the graphics needs work.
Total: 6.9/10

Be Princess
Chart: 5.7/6
EE: 4/4 LOLI FTW
At the preview of the song I was like WTF! Everything is so... LOLI!
The BG is more.. *fap**fap**fap**fap**fap**fap**fap**fap**fap**fap*

uhh... anyway, I liked the steps to this one. Very interesting indeed. The volume seems kinda loud though but overall, it's great!
Total: 9.7/10

Breathe
Chart: 3.5/6
EE: 2/4
The steps are too predictable. The Heavy Chart seemed to be still suitable for DDR. I expected that there would be hands on the "Come Play my Game" parts. The graphics are good but still seems generic :/
Total: 5.5/10

CHEAP TRICK KINDA GIRL
Chart: 4.5/6
EE: 3.5/4
Pretty cool steps. The mines looked unstrategic though. The videos are cool too. The parts where "CHEAP TRICK KINDA GIRL" transitions took place were quite unnoticeable but that was sure catchy

Total: 9/10

Days Dreamer
Chart: 2.5/6
EE: 2.5/4
Yes, this is a pretty catchy and a cute song. Like "Breathe" the heavy chart doesn't have ITG elements in it and kinda boring. The challenge charts has too much unnecessary freezes. Probably to fill up the freeze gauge.
Total: 5/10

Devastation
Chart: 4.5/6
EE: 3.5/4
Interesting chart you got here. A little doublestepping in the start but the flow is very fine. Good job on this one.
Total: 8/10

Don't Cha (Ralphi Rosarios Hot Freak Remix)
Chart: 2/6
EE: 2/4
It's always the furry factor and it somewhat matched the song. The heavy steps seems like your average Dancing Stage/Karaoke Steps. Challenge steps showed very little ITG elements which quite bored me. Did I mention the very populous doublestepping? Sorry, this didn't impress me. Do better next time ok?
Total: 4/10

Emerald Sword
Chart: 5.8/6
EE: 4/4
Very interesting. This chart woke me up (the challenge chart gave me a reason to skip the next coffee cup) The video is also... Interesting O_o coolness!
Total: 9.8/10

Endless Journey
Chart: 4.8/6
EE: 3/4
Solid steps. I also liked the hands part. I don't have violent reactions on this one

Total: 7.8/10

Have You ever Been Mellow
[insert defensive blurbs here]

It's 1 AM and i'm getting drowsy. I still got work tomorrow but I gotta finish this review

Gradation
Chart: 4/6
EE: 2.5/6
Graphics-wise, it's pretty boring. The steps are fine. The mines doesn't seem to fit though. Extra points to the lyrics.
Total: 6.5/10

I Wanna Talk About Me
Chart: 5/6
EE: 2/4
Uhm... Okay... That's a cool one O_o
The steps are very nice and it's well done. The lyrics of the song sure made me laugh. The graphics needs a little work though.
Total: 7/10

Identity
Chart: 3/6
EE: 1.5/4
I'm not impressed with what you did with the banner and BG. You should have used other than the official BG. The BPM changes is interesting but the downside are the notes. It seems boring. The Challenge chart is kinda plain. Sound quality is also terrible.
Total: 4.5/10

Inner Universe
Chart: 1/6
EE: 1/4
Mercy points. This chart is the equivalent of Right ThurRRRrRRrrRrrrRrrr in OSC4. The chart is plain terrible. I was first impressed with the song at first sight but as I see the steps, It's way offsync and the steps are boring.
Total: 2/10

Jump
Chart: 5.7/6
EE: 3/4
Very lively song! I like what you did with the chart and I personally like this song. I also liked the rolls part in this song. No further violent reactions.
Total: 9.7/10

Keys Me
Chart: 3.5/6
EE: 3/4
Still DDR-esque IMO. The mines at the Challenge Chart doesn't seem to fit. Still, I like the fact that you used this song. I should have given you extra points if you used this one:

Mario takes a walk
Chart: 1.5/6
EE: 0/4
Really offsync. The BG screams out for a video. Bored me to death. Good thing i'm still alive.
Total: 1.5/10

1:34 AM. First Causualty. I almost slept with the drowsiness overcoming me. I need to drink another cup. Full strength this time.

Multiball
Chart: 5.5/6
EE: 3.5/4
Very impressive. The BG matches well with the song. Even though this song lacks some other ITG fancies, Machinae Supremacy is still teh ITG! Great job!
Total: 9/10

Namida GIRL
Chart: 4/6
EE: 3.3/4
Nice steps but they still fit for DDR. This is an another case of the "Heavy Charts like DDR and Challenge gets the mines" syndrome. The video and the lyrics are great. The downside is the miscalculation of the stop at the beginning. After that stop, BAM! The entire chart becomes offsync. Still, I liked this one... needs more *umph* though.
Total: 7.3/10

1:45-1:56 AM: The computer kinda acted weird on me and crashed randomly. I got the problem fixed now so here we go!

Satellite
Chart: 3.5/6
EE: 3/4
At the start, it was a bit interesting but then, it becomes the case of the DDR-Like-Chart-in-Heavy-then-Pump-up-the-difficulty-then-add-mines syndrome again. The good thing is I like the BG. But again, it's like the other charts.
Total: 6.5/10

Speedy Cat
Chart: 3/6
EE: 1.5/4 FF7 EWWWWWWW
Okay... Mines, Check. Hands, Check. Rolls, Check. The problem is, This chart is too much overdone. Too much ITG elements could cause this file to be a KB file. And...what's with FF7?! I think all the ITG elements were all taken by this song and didn't spare for the other files... WAH! Remember: Too much of something is bad. Look what happened to this file :/
Total: 4.5/10

Startin'
-BLueSS EDIT - PM'ed the File - Recieved!

Chart: 5/6
EE: 3/4

I managed to install stepmania into my office PC (and immediately uninstalled it lol) and find a spare time to play this. I like both charts. The mines at heavy doesn't seem to be necessary but I can imagine some freestyling with the single hand in it. In challenge - now we're talking! This is what I like in ITG charts. It gave me a better feel of Banzai's songs. This is better

The downside is there are too many mines but I think you did this in purpose. Still, it's a nice one.
