I just installed this pack in my basement computer and played all double charts on expert:

Babies: Nice chart, easiest double chart in this pack

Bumble: A very stretchy chart. The passage starting at around 9 bars is incredibly brutal and almost failed there. Lucky I still passed.

Caprice of Otada: If you think this is easy, don't get cocky! The ending 16th stream will surprise you and could suddenly turn a flying pass into "There's always... a tomorrow!" I passed with about 20% lifebar left.

Chloe: Surprising close to how I orignally imagined the steps will turn out to be. First try, failed by triggering the final mine field. NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Second try, barely passed (jumped off the pad when the mind field came). Lily is a Vocaloid in case if you don't know already.

Remedy: Hand charts are extremely unforgiving for player's mistakes - during extended hand passages once you lose any lifebar it's very difficult to get it back up, as there are very few notes available to regain lifebar. And if your pad is lacking maintenance you're hopelessly screwed. First try failed in the middle of first part of chorus. Second try failed after the vocals finished.

PoPiPo (from SSS4): Definitely not a 11, maybe a easy 10 at most.

And I hope you enjoy Remedy Singles too, a bonus chart for everyone else who don't play (or don't have access to, or don't have double premium) doubles. (Should I continue to make single charts anymore?)

I'm a "non-poster", and that's probably not going to change. Deal with it.

Edit: sorry if I came off as r00d; I just don't post on forums all that much. Also, thanks, the SX chart to Raise Me Up is actually pretty enjoyable; just avoid the edit.
Yo, don't be quiet.

I actually liked the edit a lot too except those jumps in the middle of the 16ths right at the end haha

And yeah, no offence intended; was just wondering if I'd seen you around before and forgotten about it or something

AST is always an hour later than it should be, so you're constantly running with toast in your mouth.

Huh. I stepped Amenijad for my pack too, and the BPM changes are pretty darn similar in some places. Funny.

Part I is really fun and I'll probably try it when my local arcade opens back up.

Oh yeah that review. (only doing singles since I have little experience with doubles)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amenijad

Interesting gfx to say the least. :lol:

Other than the gimmicks being unsightreadable (from Zim? shocking) this was incredibly fun to play.

high :exceltastic:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bazaar

-Everthing from m30 onwards is full of nonsense (tons of tell jumps, empty gaps, random crossovers, etc). Not exactly sure why you went good one half and crap the other half.

:grexcellent:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Black Swan

-feels off sync, especially at the beginning.
-m60 to m61 I can hear more of those sounds than what's been charted. Kinda feels off like that.
-What's with the bpm change at 287.500?

:excellent:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bumble

Um where are the steps (odd...)?

:RP:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caprice of Otada

-I have no idea what those mines at 22.500 are doing there.
-26.750 has a glaring error.
-What's with the tell jump at 79.000?
-random crossover at 99.000.
-ambiguous step at 115.000.
-These freezes at m34 are completely random.
-133.000's jump is accenting nothing.
-I'm getting the feeling you used record mode after seeing these random freezes at 193.000 and 197.000.
-The jumps are off a beat at 195.000.
-m56~m60 is facing left the entire time.

Tons of random freezes and random patterns during that whole streamy part after the freezes at 214.000.

:decent:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chemical plant.

Easy: best christmas gift ever. <3
Expert: not the best chart but considering the music sucks to begin with it's like whatever.

:fantastic: if only for easy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chica Bomb

Repetitive, though that's the song's fault. The gimmicks (read slowdowns) were a bit hard to read but that's just a personal qualm.

:exceltastic:


I'll try and get more done tonight.

So why is there a difficulty rating for it? Seems pointless.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that it was made when the sender synced it.

-Everthing from m30 onwards is full of nonsense (tons of tell jumps, empty gaps, random crossovers, etc). Not exactly sure why you went good one half and crap the other half.

1. those jumps are used for a pretty obvious purpose, and I layered notes later in the song because there's a lot more going on than in the beginning of the song. I'm counting 0 tell jumps, 1 jump-step and 3 reverse-tell jumps, which are easy as shit at 140 BPM and shouldn't even be worth mentioning.

2. There doesn't need to be a step on everything, and stepping during the breaks would be inconsistent because I was not stepping the background music in that section.

3. Last time I checked, I don't need a reason to add a crossover. In fact, if I wanted to be pitch relevant, that 24th note burst should have been a jackhammer. There's what, 4 crossovers in the entire chart?

Simfiles are always open to interpretation.

This review totally horrified me. I've only looked at the chart through planet rathstar, and not in stepmania yet though:

:decent:

This song is a remix based on Paganini's 24th Caprice, the most difficult piece ever for the solo violin.

And oh yeah:
