Ive been wondering if the jumps are like the 3 or 4 "jumps" in Tsugaru...the ones that are so close together that you can pretty much hit them at the same time..

If you play Stepmania and turn on the Assist Tick, it's very clear that those steps are like the ones in Tsugaru. E1.gif

They aren't gallps and they aren't like Tsugaru. They are "flams," ITG will give you Fantasic-Excellent if you hit them as a jump. If you slightly tighten the leg that hits the first jump (which makes it early) and relax the rest of your body (which makes you late) you will hit them fine.

Something important to note, though... the ones in Tsugaru start early and end onbeat. The ones in Sweet World start onbeat and end late. Make sure you hit the red or blue arrow onbeat and the purple arrow slightly later.

Also, the ones in Tsugaru are 1/32nds, these are even smaller at 1/48ths.

"Skips" sounds better.

The Steps for Sweet-World are actually fairly reasonable and innovative.

Why is it that every time a stepchart author tries something new and creative, their steps get called "retarded"? It happens for Sweet World, Utopia, Determinator, and even mostly normal charts like Soapy Bubble, Euphoria, and Hardcore Symphony. Honestly, do you all want steps to be made in the same manner forever? Trying new ways of doing things is a Good Thing.

i agree. although i dislike the steps for Sweet World, theres nothing wrong with trying something new. just think about it, if all the step charts were the same, it would get boring.

There are reasons for all of those dislikes. Sweet World is interesting, but the steps don't match the music. The "rythm" section in Utopia is idiotic and doesn't match the music. Determinator is fine. Soapy Bubble is boring, stupid, tiring, doesn't match the music, isn't interesting to play - it's one of the worst charts I've ever seen. It isn't creative at all, it's Walking on Fire with crossovers. One of the least innovative stepcharts in the game. Euphoria is widely regarded as one of the most professional and innovative stepcharts in the game. Hardcore Symphony is way offsync.

Just mentioning Utopia in that list has made you lose all credibility from this point on.

Excuse me, I like about 95% of the stepcharts on ITG. This is the first time I've ever called an ITG step pattern retarded. And I fail to see what's so "creative" about shoehorning gallops into a song that doesn't have a compatible rhythm just to inflate the stepcount.

If you slow down the song, it becomes fairly obvious that the synth has a second part to it just after the beat, and therefore the echoes are appropriate.

The same thing happens with the synth at the beginning of ! as well... so if you don't like Sweet World's steps, be glad the same gallops don't show up at 160 BPM there.

That makes no sense. If you read what I wrote, all I was doing was citing Utopia as an example of a chart people complain about a lot. I didn't say anything about my personal opinion of it.

You have seen the Expert steps to Utopia, right?

Right... This is coming dangerously close to breaking out into a flame war, so I'm stepping out of the discussion now. Just one suggestion: Don't assume that everyone will or should agree with your opinion.

And yes, I have seen and played the expert steps to Utopia many times.

It's not an assumption if evidence is presented.
