BEST-mix.net - DDR Simfile Tournament

I don't normally crosspost but just as an effort to revive BEST-mix, might as well show that a former BEST-mix competitor is still doing something.

Blurred out song is only available in the packs!

I step mainly IIDX/GITADORA and likely some mainstream rock and pop music from unusual international countries.

Will probably keep this compact first post format unlike the one I have up in ZIv now.

Added a new file in the first post, a collab with DigiMindAxel (one of the best pad artists that mainly does pop'n music with some other BEMANI too), thus...

Speaking of collabs, if anyone wants to de-rust from simfile-making but not exactly make their own files yet, I would like to announce an (ongoing) collab event!


Details in this link: http://t7rsims.byethost31.com/event.php

For BEST-mix members only, I'm opening up a few more international song slots so if you have song ideas you're willing to collab with let me know via either PM/Twitter/Discord!

One of the ongoing international collabs involves a former BEST-mix winner. ;)

To anyone that has seen details for this event in ZIv, I've loosened the "at least involves two artists" requirement for international songs so if it's a solo song so be it.

I gave the last 4 packs of yours a go... and while I like the effort you're putting into the files, they're definitely more ITG/IIDX-hard rather than older DDR style, so they're not really doing it for me.

I've always had the opinion that IIDX songs (and similar styles) that are very intense and fast are very tough to translate into decent pad charts without making them an ITG "arrow on all the beeps" type of chart or a copy of the IIDX chart in 4 arrows.

Yeah I was going for the more modern DDR style in the last 4 packs so they’re noticeably harder and follow almost every IIDX beat compared to my first 3 packs. Nevertheless I still tend to make a few X-scale 9-10’s on Expert here and there.

With BEST-mix coming back I’m probably gonna make X-scale 9-13 files more often lol. Thanks for the comments!

First boss song(s) and external pack links (including one without videos) now available.
