give you a general idea of how I might approach charting it, so you can try taking a whack at it yourself

can (probably) chart anything but would prefer not.... j-core? rhythm gaming music?? idk what precisely to call it just don't post stuff like camellia, plis..... t+paz is the only exception to this

if you're able to play etterna/sm, there's already a very good chart for this (though it's a cut of the song that basically cuts out the vocal stuff between the last two instrumental sections). won't chart this out of respect but I've had a different dt song in mind for a while, cut would be teh instrumental section from like 3:40 to 6:00

I have opinions on sewerslvt's music so all I'll say is that track is pretty boring rhythmically and I would not enjoy charting it

edit: if I were to chart it, however, here's what I would do

cut the intro around :24, audio fade in, begin chart when the drums start around :30
initially chart the drums somewhat minimally, ie jumps for the snares and the more prominent kicks, single notes otherwise
layer more aggressively when the distorted synth lead kicks in around :39, ie kicks and snares are now jumps and/or hands
cut back on layering when the first break starts at :55, focus primarily on vocals (if I were charting for sm/etterna, I would use miniholds for the vocals so I could extend this motif into the rest of the chart moving forward, tho I'm generally unsure how well this works with o!m due to hold release timing). I would not chart the fast hi-hats that play during this section, nor would I use hands at all
when the drums come back in at 1:21, I would initially chart only the vocals until 1:41. then I would go back and layer in the drums using roughly the same kind of layering scheme used for the previous section that started at :39
1:41 to 2:22 would be unbroken jumpstream, using hands as needed
chart ends at 2:22, fade out, audio ends around 2:25

if you want a chart for the full song, most of what happens after this second break is copy and paste in terms of rhythms. I would consider charting the fast hi-hats in this second break, but I would still not use hands here. if I were charting for sm/etterna, I would use mine art for the intro and outro to make it, at the very least, visually interesting. no mine use outside of the intro and outro

there u go, hope this makes sense, or to someone else interested in charting this lol

The original chart in arcaea has a stutter (in this case, low frame rate effect) section, maybe you could make it an sv map
The chart In question

I would need to figure out how to do sv stuff after converting out of arrowvortex but quite frankly that stutter effect really makes no sense given the music itself lol. it's a cool gimmick to see ofc but the use here seems arbitrary. notice how less chaotic the chart is during these sections than the rest of the song? the gating on the synths is the same duration in the sections prior and after, and the stutter to the kicks make it impossible to chart the tail end of the kick, which is where you could use some very cool patterning to emphasize the kick post-punch.

idk it would feel forced if I were to use gimmicks in just that section alone. the song's pretty cool tho, I'll take a look at it

ngl after looking at this in an editor, the claps that are all over the song are kind of annoying lmao. the guitar samples are great, initially I was thinking about using a minimal layering scheme so I could emphasize the guitar more heavily and use that for some interesting movements but claps are prominent enough to make it seem like they should be charted as they sound. it'd make the chart too busy overall, I think. if I do end up charting this, I might consider 6k over 4k

I gave up mapping it in standard, the rhythm fluctuation is too much.

it's interesting to me when I hear music like this coming from rhythm game artists. the sound design is in the realm of idm, but the rhythms still very much sound like they're informed by rhythm gaming lol

this doesn't sound too complicated, it's a static tempo and mostly in 3. cool song, I'll definitely be looking at this one this week

edit: hmm the rhythms are actually pretty odd lol, the time signature definitely moves around. it's a static tempo (124) but the rhythms are odd enough that I'm charting it at a doubled bpm (248). excited to work on this now

I didn't want to bump wimpy's thread to post my chart lol so I'm bumping this thread instead. finally got around to converting an old chart for kamikaze by m1dy, sorry if this is too hard corne! feel free to make edits if you want

I always wanted to make a 4-5 star dump file from this
Sad thing is that I am now too rusty to be able to play the map I envisioned

honestly I'm so much of a technical charter that I would have no clue how to dump this. I've made some dump charts in the past, mostly to rap lol

fortunately I was good enough at stepmania when I was actively playing and comparing scores, my rule of thumb when playtesting a hard chart is "if I can get 93% on .8x rate, it's probably fine"

you can chart this for 4k mania, maybe some jumpstreams on the diff spike ????

did you know porter robinson played (plays?) stepmania? livestreamed on fb a while back, most people watching were doing the typical "woah dude your so good at rhythm games" so I called him out for playing double setup instead lol
sad machine is one of those songs I'd chart at 1.5x rate, not personally a huge fan of porterhouse robinson's music but since he's a fellow stepman, I kinda feel like I owe him at least one chart
