You've honestly inspired me to play DDR more though Also gotta love and hate Ayaze

4:06 That spellcard though But not bad. Definitely can see a lot of challenge for good players.

This song has easily jumped up to my number 1 spot with how fun it is to play. Gotta say, that judgement section is brutal, same with the Cosmic part (Namely to bad refresh rates on my Monitor. 8D; ) but I can still pass this song with relative ease (B+ (Around 64+% for you ITG players). Great work on this track, and I'd love to see more bosses with funky ass tracks like this one.

This was amazing live!

"In this section, only DECENTS will be worth points!" Now this looks like a job for me-

One thing I've come to realize, you really like the passive bumping of the arrows (example between 0:40 and 1:00). Honestly, I think it's a very nice thing to just have there, because it keeps things looking alive when there's none of the crazy stuff happening.

@Taro4012ITG

8 жыл бұрын

+John Draconis you're exactly right! That effect is called "beat" because it moves every arrow on time with the beat. This means that, as long as the rhythm of the song is simple (kick, kick, kick, kick...) and you've synced the steps to the music well enough, this effect will _always_ look good. Well, almost always, it starts going weird at around 300bpm. But still, it's not hard to read at all, but still adds motion to sections that would otherwise be "dead time" so I like it.

"It's me. The Devil." gets me every time

4:06 That spellcard though

Good, full assing.

YOOOOOOOOO THAT FOOTSWITCH MOD GIMMICK and also the galaxy thing i guess

QUALITY CHART

Somehow discovered while trying to go for 80% on 1.5x rate (yes, I did eventually get it) that quitting/failing during the Aim For _! part just completely breaks score until you restart ITG or (I assume) play through again until after that section.

Ayaze's reaction to being slapped by a ITG player during a UKSRT before the final round WHAT THE FUCK HOW DID THAT ITG PLAYER SLAP ME?!?!?! THATS IT IM DELETING YOU FROM THE ROUND AND ILL ALSO BURN THE PRIZE MONEY ITG players be like WTF Ayaze its a game like chill

Thanks so much! Already played it and it works perfectly. I was going to ask about the UKSRT's ones too but Ill leave them for later. Don't want to bother that much. Take care!!

what do you use to edit the songs to make them like this, its amazing!

So, SM5 detects this chart and plays it fine, but NotITG doesn't list it at all. What do? Both pull from the same directory on another disk via a symlink.

pionoplayer: this was absurd. makes me want to try a crowd plays itg2. now wouldn't THAT be fun?

Hello, Taro, love watching your vids and playing your charts. I have a question though: is there any hint how to do charts like you do? I mean, most stepchart makers use lua to make effects, but what do they do and use exactly? Watching chart structure in edit mode or googling something didn't help me that much.

@Puurokulho

+Kri Bialy Try going to the song folder an opening the (something).sm file in a text editor, you should see something like #BGCHANGES:0.000=bg=1.000=0=0=1=====, 99999=-nosongbg-=1.000=0=0=0 // don't automatically add -songbackground- ; #FGCHANGES:0.000=lua=1.000=0=0=1=====, ; These lines will tell stepmania to load folders named "bg" and "lua" on the background and foreground layers. Anyways, you can take a look at these folders and open a file called default.xml (or default.lua in sm5), which is essentially the file that contains all the lua code. You program this stuff with a text editor, and I highly recommend downloading notepad++ because that's what most of us use to make these things. And essentially you do need some programming knowledge in order to figure out what everything does.

do you think you would ever do easier modes for new players? if not where should i go/what should i do to try and improve in stepmania?

Just noticed that you need to hit Decents when aiming for Excellents at 2:27 in SM5, and looking through the default.lua file reveals this: DecentAtkMessageCommand=function(self) l_aimfor = 'TapNoteScore_W4' end, ExcellentAtkMessageCommand=function(self) l_aimfor = 'TapNoteScore_W4' end, Where ExcellentAtkMessageCommand should be set to W2 instead of W4 so you actually have to aim for Excellents.

+taro4012 It's fine :p I just noticed at one point that the score kept increasing for Aim for excellents when I "Decent Attacked" the chart and got like 62% for it, so I checked it out.

In the Stepmania 5 version it seems to get stuck with the modifiers from 0:27 - 0:32. Is it a theme problem? because Ayaze doesn't appear neither

I'm shite at reading mods, but okay at the regular game, so this'd be perfectly within my range of play. Except for the Cosmic part. Fuck that part.

Are you using OpenITG??? Because this map doesn't work properly on SM5, the part from 2:27 - 3:20 is buggy, Aim for Decent / great work, but aim for excellent doesn't (both perfect and marvelous don't give any %). Also on 4:13 - 4:38 sometimes the 2nd player dissapears and reappears when the arrows change direction (I say sometimes because it doesn't do that every time, might be a skin issue). Never the less, this is one of the best maps I've ever seen for SM / ITG, you sir are a true master mapper.
