Currently playing through the pack, and I have to say I really like the novel, give-no-fucks patterning that newer steppers come up with, so it’s been fun so far. I haven’t been playing this game too much lately, so this pack has been a good excuse to derust a bit, too. This is also the second year in a row that my song didn’t get charted, which is pretty funny – maybe the songs I pick are too hard?
Anyway, here are some short thoughts:
1-800-Ghost Dance
Very sadistic song choice. I can see why you decided to make pong instead.
Causality
The spikes in this are a tad excessive but they were fun to nail regardless. The song choice here is nice.
Duckgroove
This was stepped reasonably and soundly, and is a nice breather if you decide to play the pack in alphabetical order, since all the songs before it are pretty ruthless.
Earbutter
Pretty simplistic, but the anchory/trilly patterning is probably exactly how it should’ve been approached. Well done.
El Dorado
I wasn’t expecting dumpy patterning in this personally, though I think this was well done for the material that was given. Neat BPM gimmick.
EO’s OP
Thanks for the fun song
Fairy Tale
cute song cute chort
Goku vs Jiren
I’m sorry you had to chart this. But it made me chuckle.
Good-bye sengen feat. Flower
Extremely rude ending, but it made me laugh.
Hello Marina
cute song cute chort 2
nice handwall jumpscare
Honey Trap
I really like this chart. Like, a lot.
I wouldn’t consider this good by conventional charting standards, but who cares about that? It was fun anyway. The drop sections were particularly fun in a merciless kind of way, so good job.
Jinsei Easy
Dodgy audio volume aside, neat song choice. I was not expecting the Tomozaki OP to be here…
I actually tried stepping this at some point but it didn’t really click with me. I think you did a good job given the material.
I feel the instrumental version is better stepping-wise, since the vocals drown out the more interesting details in the song; moreover, the full version has some cool instrumental solo sections that are ridiculously steppable. But I digress. Nice chart, nice song.
Man’s not hot
These patterns… I kneel…

I’m bad at commenting on vocally-focused dumps but I think this was well done. The jacky patterning was challenging but satisfying to hit. I especially liked the patterning of the percussive climax towards the end with the hands and minijacks. Very Good

I like the song choice. The chart could use a bit more pattern variety, particularly in the minijack department, but it’s fine.
Will finish the rest of the pack soon.
