If you're Boo attacking the whole way through, then the GAP could be off by 100 or 200. The problem is still that different computers sync differently. In fact, the GAP difference between my old and new computers is around 500, a whole half second, which shows that some of these may not be the author's fault. Of course, if the BPM's off, then there's no excuse...

(Maybe for TM5, we should make a sample stepfile with just beats and have everyone sync their Global GAP to that before making their stepfile...)

Bitmania and Baby got Back are just appalling.

See now, for me, Baby Got Back was perfect, and Bitmania was Great Attack city. The one that was worst out for me (barring any bpm issues or the fact that the whole concept was just so silly I didn't even try to synch it up) was Revival Day Impoetus, which was out by 130ish.

Biggest Letdown: Spicy McHaggis
I was as shocked as you were when I saw a Dropkick Murphys song on here. It could've been like bag, but cool. Instead... we got YAS. Sigh.


What do you mean by Yellow arrow syndrome? Granted, the steps werent perfectly synched, but the BPM was right. Yellow arrow syndrome = 1/4 and 1/8 notes being 1/16 because of a wrong bpm. This song is in a 12th beat, (heaven is a 57 metallic grey) and therefore the lyrics are in 12th note triplets.

By the way, yellow arrows = 1/16ths. The spicy McHaggis .dwi has nothing but 1/4 and 1/12ths, and *one* 1/8.

The song's BPM varies. The slowest I found it at was 130.1, and it was as fast as 133.52. It was synced up with the beat at the beginning of measure 3, but it goes off from there.

Results are up for the Popular vote and it seems Solar Plexus beat someone?!

Well, in other news, TM4 is postponed due to judges dropping for various reasons. No word on when it will be going back on.

The problem with Abstract is the CDTitle. Delete it, and it won't crash anymore.

For the record, the CD title doesn't crash in CVS.

Now I'm letting the suspense get to me. I sent my entry in a few days before the deadline, and I figure that there's at LEAST a full bracket after me, so I'm guessing that I'm in Bracket 5. I need to know NOW!!! Aaaargh!

Oh man a lot of catching up to do (had to change my name again dammit!). OK here goes:

TheBaldOneMpls - Spicy McHaggis is a great song and the YAS isn't really that bad at all. So when I play a song with 1/8 beat steps in it, does that mean I have Blue Arrow Syndrome? Does Bag have YAS? And no one deserves to be doggy at by Arch0wl, not after that whole Click Clock Woods ordeal, let's all get our revenge on him instead! Who's with me!

Pie 0_o - Sir, some people do not deserve to play DDR, and you IMO are one of them. Excellent Change is worthless in it's own accord. It could never be good at all ever. Not if it were giving out freakin IIDX machines to play it once on Little. The BPM changes blow my mind, how can one person be so retarded to make a BPM so high?

Dark Samurai - Where's your entry? riiight.gif

PerfectAsymmetry - Sorry dude, maybe next halfyear... frown.gif

The Public - How could Solar Plexus beat anyone? And how could Spicy McHaggis get so low? Isn't it a great song that makes you look at Bag and never want to hear it again? (If you didn't already) Oh lord, I am upset, here's some more.

Soramimi Keeki - GOOD GOD!!! This is the worst songfile ever AND I MEAN EVER to be put on any mix. I don't care how much you're infatuated with anime and hentai! It's plain wrong. This song has no beat and it's pure trash. It makes Shopping A-Z look like god. I wanna cry thinking of how it poisons my song collection. Bottom line, it makes you feel (if you're not already) really embarassed and homosexual to play this song. And if it doesn't then maybe you should think about yourself.

Shopping A-Z - See no one gets the joke in this, I'm gonna put the worst song in here (it wasn't me, believe me, i make better dwi's) and watch ppl bitch about it and laugh. It must be a joke.

Black Cat - Ok ppl, when you make you're song previews, don't play them at the worst parts of the song. You don't see Max 300 at the freeze do you? The best song in here. Go back and change what I said about Tentaikansoku (still a cool song) and put it in here.

The Logical Song - People really are getting retarded nowadays huh? It's way too weird step-wise. How did this place so high?

And I still can't fix the problem with The Peace! video. I don't wanna even look at Bracket 5 when it comes out...

I don't know about you guys but IMO Beyond Abilities is one of my favorite DWIs out there. It's from Tournamix 3 I believe. I also recently beat it on my feet (which is something I am NOT intending to repeat anytime in the near future) with a B. It was great fun, even though I felt as if I were dying afterwards.


It's not one of my favorites, but it is a bit addicting.

The runs generally make you move in the same direction, there isn't much variation. The breaks didn't have to be the exact same arrows again. And the 16th note runs things randomly placed were not cool.

all my opinion.

YAS is not simply having yellow notes. YAS is when a .dwi has the wrong BPM and compensates for it by putting in 16th, 24th and 32nd notes where 4th and 8th notes would be if the BPM was right (see Strike On and Cha Cha Slide for examples). The steps, had they been spot-on sync-wise, were great. It was bag, but fun. That's why I gave it the Best Achievement in a Bad .dwi award - the idea was there, but the execution wasn't.

Hey, has anyone seen him around lately? Last I saw of him, he was telling me to castrate myself immediately (for reasons I'm still not sure of) and reminding everyone else that Click Clock Woods wasn't his best work. If and when he does come back, we cannot let him forget about CCW. It shall hang over his head for all eternity!

Granted the BPM was off a little bit, but thats not entirely the case here. The notes in the chorus for example; those are NOT right on the 1/4 and 1/8. Those are 1/12 notes (tap your hand to the beat and you'll see what i mean). This song had YAS for....1 note. (a 1/8 arrow that should have been 1/12)[/quote]

My TM4 entry was "Doo-Be-Di-Boy (KCP Mix)", from Bracket 3. Yes, I'm Candy Boy. May I know why are you asking?


BTW, lots of fun entries in Bracket 5 biggrin.gif .

It's pride-swallowin' time.

DDROnline's step previewer was finally working for me, so I double checked it, and lo and behold, the steps WERE right. Seemed like YAS cause of the BPM, but the steps are good. Now there's hope of syncing them up properly and having a kick-a-double-crooked-letter .dwi on my hands. So, the official word is: my bad.

With that out of the way, it's now time for the real reason you're reading this; the BaldOne awards for Bracket 5. Let's dive right in!

Biggest Surprise - KI Feeling
A club/dance song about a foxy lady that was used to promote Killer Instinct. How any good could come of this, I don't know, but Plaguefox did it.

Biggest Letdown - 007 Goldeneye Main Theme
All hope for this one was gone when I saw simply "James Bond" for the banner. Actually, when I was supposed to see "James Bond," but instead saw "ame Bon" and lots of pink.

Most Overrated/Underrated .dwi: Unawarded
Just like last week, it seems to be a crapshoot. Nothing's really getting lots of attention (outside of Guillaume Tell), and all of its attention has been deserved.

Most Ignored .dwi - Tron
You'd think somebody would talk about the 50~500 BPM song...

Best .dwi You Didn't Want to Play - Unawarded
Nothing in this group that makes you want to hit ESC before you play it.

Most Needed Speed Adjustment - Ayla
Mr. Stutter was fine. It's Mr. Smooth that must die. DEATH TO SMOOTH!

Worst Foot Rating - Solar Plexus - Heavy (10)
I know that this was in the last bracket, but I cannot stress enough how badly this was rated. Very, very, very impossible.


BaldOne's Picks for the Finals:
4/6 last week; 18/24 [75%] overall

In alphabetical order
Boom Digi Da (This is how you do a Bambee song)
Conga (Dance Mix) (There's plenty who liked the change, and those who didn't have nothing else to go for)
Days Go By (Solstice Remix) (Dave Chapelle's a funny funny guy)
Final Countdown (Speed mixes of stadium rock; ain't it great?)
Guillaume Tell (The only one close to a mortal lock in this group)
KI Feeling (Better than it has any right to be, by a whole lot)

flawless
hemisphere


Songs go in the order which they are listed.

Oh sure, when I went by the name GT-R Sephiroth and I had my "Official DWI Judge" thread up, you and Phrekwenci did a little "battle" with your versions of Zero-One by Mr. T. I was very impressed by your version and I wanted to see what you put out there for TM4.

Man, I'm falling behind, I gotta get bracket 5. KI Feeling sounds cool, I think it's that song of the Killer Cuts CD (if you bought it on SNES you got a free CD! Awesomeness!) and if it is, sick.

BTW, if I name myself Archpige0n and make fun of my own file, "gay level" from Banjo Kazooie, would i get points for that?

It's indeed Track 1 of Killer Kuts, the remake of B. Orchid's theme. Track 30, Humiliation, was one of the songs I had considered and passed up, so I was pleasantly surprised that KI Feeling was one of the TM entries, and even more so when I found out that it was by Plaguefox and is very nicely done.

Let make sure we are talking about my challenge steps. Not PerfectAsymmetry's CRAZY heavy steps, here.

Heh, I see. Zero-One almost was my TM4 entry, but I decided to use Doo-Be-Di-Boy instead because I saw at the rules that IIDX songs were "frowned upon". disgust.gif Anyways, I'm very happy with the success of Doo-Be-Di-Boy, I wonder if Zero-One would have done better...
