t7r mix 2: ELEGANT ELEMENT FAQ's
Includes anything or everything you would like to ask about the ongoing simfile pack. I hope I was able to answer most of the questions you've been bothering to ask me. If you have any more questions, click the "threads" button right next to the FAQ button, choose one forum and ask away.
Anyway, here are some questions I'd like to answer beforehand. Pardon me if it's a bit unorganized.
Q: Who are you?
A: t7r's the name.
Q: I thought you were tsugaru7reveng
A: It's a mouthful.
Q: What is your real name?
A: I'm not going to tell unless I know you personally. I do not plan to reveal my real name. (hahaha I think people like DMAxel and Kyousakee and Surreal and anyone else in the Asaki FOR LIFE Facebook group know)
Q: How can you best describe yourself?
A: I'm a cat with a "T" on the forehead wearing a basketball jersey. I dazzle, darlin'. Wanna see a photo of me? Click here. Credit to Akira for taking my So Fabulous!! photo. How dazzlin'.
Q: What is t7r mix 2: ELEGANT ELEMENT
A: It's a DDR simfile pack I created on my own for Stepmania or Dance With Intensity use.
Q: MAGICAL MELTDOWN had a Harry Potter-ish theme, does ELEGANT ELEMENT have a theme?
A: It's like a theme-less MAGICAL MELTDOWN. Seriously. Yeah, the songs are still sorted according to "Houses", I just don't discuss them in the song comment anymore. HINT: THERE WILL BE A LOT OF SLYTHERIN IN THIS MIX.
Q: How did you come up with "ELEGANT ELEMENT"?
A: When I ran out of titles to call t7r mix 2. Needed something to pull off an "A Series of Unfortunate Events" as a subtitle.
Q: What does t7r stand for?
A: tsugaru7reveng
Q: Can I call you t7r?
A: Sure, provided that the t and the r are lowercased.
Q: Where does your name originate?
A: The song TSUGARU, by RevenG VS DE-SIRE from DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution 7th Mix.
Q: Why did you choose to name yourself after that song?
A: It was my favorite song.
Q: You are SOOO unoriginal.
A: I have other aliases too, you know.
Q: What are those aliases?
A: I'm commonly known as tsugaru7reveng. In some other sites, I'm known as khdu, H.D.Vision, SOLID STEAK SQUAD or Nagecks (with a possible style added to it, first, substream, second, thitrd, fourth, fifth, sixth, seveth, eighth, ninth, tenth, IIDX RED, HAPPY SKY, DistorteD, DJ TROOPERS or even GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD).
Q: What is a simfile?
A: I can't explain. I'm pretty sure there are others who can explain it better, but here's the thing: It's a file containing the stepcharts and the audio of the song for use in Stepmania or Dance With Intensity or any other simulator out there. If you don't get what I'm saying, Google 'simfile'.
Q: What is Stepmania or Dance With Intensity?
A: They are simulators based on the Dance Dance Revolution game.
Q: Which is better?
A: Everyone else uses Stepmania now, and personally, I think Stepmania is better. Dance With Intensity hasn't been worked on for a long time.
Q: Which do you recommend?
A: Stepmania
Q: Which type of music do you like simming?
A: Mostly Bemani songs, although I tend to step rock music occasionally.
Q: ROCK MUSIC IS NOT DANCEABLE.
A: It just so happens that I love rock music, and I can step whatever I want. I can even step Maroon 5. (no wai)
Q: STEP GAY AMINÉ SONGS INSTEAD.
A: Animé songs aren't my thing, but I'd be glad if I can step a dance speed remix of the Ayashi no Ceres intro theme. :P
Q: I know a song you might want to step. Can you step it?
A: Yes, provided that 1) I like the song, and 2) I have passion to step it.
Q: How often do you make simfiles?
A: Depends. Usually, when I'm bored.
Q: How many simfiles will be in this pack?
A: It will be up to my choosing when to end the mix. For now, I'll say around 70.
Q: How come in the simfiles page, the song titles are color coded?
A: I'm pulling of a DDR here. Yellow ones are songs that aren't Konami originals. Green ones are Konami originals. Cyan ones have showed up in the late t7r mix: REVOLUTIONARY EVOLUTION. White ones showed up in the late t7r mix: MASTERPIECE SULFUR. Pink ones have been in other packs, contests, or in DDR itself before I started this mix. Red ones are boss songs. Rose ones are t3h ULTiMATE pwnz0r ones.

A: a 16

A: It's made to be a pad file, mind you. A hard one at that.

A: 16 is what MAXX UNLIMITED is rated.
Q: BUT MAXX UNLIMITED IS A 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111one
A: Have you played DDR X? The ratings have changed.
Q: LIMITED/Mannequin is a 12 and they feel like 9-footers to me. WTF IS UP WITH X RATINGS?!?!?!?!
A: 1.5x the ITG Ratings (according to a DDR:UK member) and you get the DDR X Ratings. THOUGH I DO NOT PLAY ITG so I don't know.
Q: MAGICAL MELTDOWN had less non-Bemani songs. Are you gonna put more non-Bemani songs in ELEGANT ELEMENT?
A: I hope I can make 20.
Q: TTFAF and Odio Odio Sorry C are Bemani songs. They showed up in GFDM V6.
A: Simfiles made from GFDM/IIDX licenses/covers (even if they use the GFDM/IIDX song cuts) aren't gonna be counted as Bemani songs. They are really non-KO's.
Q: Ha ha ha IIDX licenses? I smell thunder HOUSE NATION Remix!
A: You'll see.
Q: Can I know what simfiles you're working on?
A: As of 05/12/2009, among them are DANCER from 8th style, Asaki's GFDM V6 songs, and stuff from the beat+WINGS pack I plan to cross-over to t7r mix 2: ELEGANT ELEMENT.
Q: You stepped all MILITARY SPLASH#02 songs in MAGICAL MELTDOWN, how about all EMPRESS PLACE songs in ELEGANT ELEMENT?
A: I can't step HIMIKO again. That one's in MAGICAL MELTDOWN already.
Q: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
A: I will however, step the IIDX 17 song that's gonna be the encore of the group, whether it be an awesome hard song, or something like a gay song like that Jounetsu fin! fun! song in GFDM V6. I DON'T CARE IT'S GONNA BE THE ELEGANT STAGE.
Q: ELEGANT STAGE?
A: Yeah, like how HIMIKO was the MAGICAL STAGE of t7r mix: MAGICAL MELTDOWN.
Q: Anyway, while we're discussing boss songs, how's the EXTRA STAGE system gonna be? Crappy EXTRA RUSH system with hints and updates and shit?
A: Still EXTRA RUSH but no more hints/guesses. I'm just gonna shell out a boss song or two for every 12 songs. (or when I feel like it)
Q: How would I know when a boss song is about to come out?
A: There's a "Simfile count" in the Simfiles page. As of 05/12/2009, I have 6.
Q: You're so unpleasant/trying hard/rude/etc. in your FAQ.
A: It's just my approach, so deal with it.
Q: Will you step BeForU songs?
A: Considering how much I dislike them, I won't.
Q: You DID step BeForU songs.
A: That was before. My [Bemani] music taste has shifted to something more instrumental, or anything with Asaki/Des-ROW-ish vocals, or Yoshitaka (I DON'T CARE. FLAME ME IF YOU WANT, YOSHITAKA HATERS)
Q: MEGAMASSO
A: Asaki-ish vocals
Q: Care to enlighten me as to which songs are Gryffindor, etc.?
A: Red bgs = Gryffindor; Yellow bgs = Hufflepuff; Blue bgs = Ravenclaw; Green bgs; Slythein; Special bgs = go figure for yourself; Purple = boss song from jubeat/IIDX/pop'n; Gray = boss song from GFDM
Q: To which songs do you specialize in making simfiles of?
A: The GFDM and IIDX songs I love.
Q: You make eurobeat simfiles?
A: Bemani eurobeat I guess, depending on how awesome it sounds. I do have plans on making a Daisuke simfile.
Q: I CAN'T SEE THE "BACK" BUTTON IN THE SIMFILE PAGE
A: It should be just there. You already clicked it or something.
Q: CHANGE THE COLOR SCHEME.
A: Just use the "Back" button of your browser.
Q: Where do you host your simfiles?
A: Bemanistyle and Zenius-I-vanisher.

Q: You have a YouTube channel or something?
A: user/tsugaru7reveng
Q: NahaNaha vs Gachoon Battle?

05-18-2009 QUESTIONS
Q: WTF is ELEMENT BATTALION?
A: It's the group of boss songs for t7r mix 2: ELEGANT ELEMENT.
Q: How many boss songs are you gonna make?
A: Around 10.
Q: I'm Syriana-3.
A: You're a fag.
Q: Ran out of FAQs?
A: I'll add some time in the future.
06-08-2009 QUESTIONS
Q: WTF are CARBON WARRIORS?
A: It's a group of EXTRA RUSH songs composed of GFDM songs.
Q: Is there a group of EXTRA RUSH songs that are gonna be composed of IIDX songs?
A: Yes.
Q: How many EXTRA RUSH groups are you gonna make for this mix?
A: Three.
Q: How many songs are there in an EXTRA RUSH group?
A: Three.
Q: Is Evans in an EXTRA RUSH group?
A: No.
Q: Huh
A: Think of it as the VANESSA/Time to Air/Programmed World of the mix, or better yet, the Unreal/On The Break since the song's got no Challenge steps.
Q: Wait... if one has GFDM songs, the other has IIDX... the other has pop'n, right?
A: I don't really play a lot of pop'n, and I don't want to force stepcharts for songs like TENTEI and Schroedinger's cat because they're pretty much the songs I'd like as boss songs. Well, to answer the question, no pop'n boss songs. Sorry.
Q: But you'll make pop'n simfiles, right?
A: Yeah. (If I'm bored enough to make TENTEI or Schroedinger's cat, they won't be boss songs.)
Q: Right, so what's the other EXTRA RUSH group gonna contain?
A: The hard-ass ones from GFDM V5, GFDM V6 and IIDX 17.
Q: So the GFDM V5 one is a giveaway...
A: Yes. Keep it to yourself.
Q: Are there names for the other EXTRA RUSH groups?
A: OXYGEN WARRIORS for the IIDX ones, NITROGEN WARRIORS for the hard-ass ones.
Q: Do the SPECIALs have a group name?
A: KRYPTON VIGILANTES-- I think I put that in Narcissus At Oasis (SPECIAL).
Q: Why KRYPTON VIGILANTE?
A: Krypton is an element Superman something something and superheroes/wannabes are vigilantes something like that maybe you get the picture.
Q: I don't like the way you answer.
A: Bah.
Q: You said stuff in t7r:MS=white label, t7r:RE=cyan label. WHY THE FUCK IS TAISETSUNAMONO/FUNNY LITTLE FEELING/MEIN IN YELLOW
A: They'll be counted as both "licenses" and revivals, but I'll be using the yellow label because I consider it as a "license" now.
Q: HAHAHAHA YOU MADE A LOST IN BLUE SIMFILE YOUR AN OTAKU FAG
A: It was in an anime?
Q: Yes.
A: I learn whatever anime song in GFDM first, because I don't really watch anime.
Q: Next time use the anime characters in the Lost in Blue banner.
A: No. Also, I won't use anime on anything. So if I were to make a God Knows simfile (which I won't unless it hits GFDM V7 or something), I won't be putting Haruhi Suzumiya on the graphics, mmm'kay?
If I were to make a simfile of Ayashi no Ceres Theme Song -somatic mutation type"Forza" -DJ YOSHITAKA REMIX- feat.DABO; BPM: 185, I'm still not gonna put Aya Mikage in the banner so there.
Q: AH HAH YOU WATCH ANIME.
A: I used to, oh and that people keep on talking about that Haruhi Suzumiya anime so I got quite familiar with it.
Q: What is Lost in Blue's actual BPM? You wrote Yoshitaka references there.
A: If you have played the more recent IIDX styles/jubeat, the first BPM that comes into your mind when you see "Yoshitaka" as the BPM is correct. HINT: It's also my favorite BPM HURR (no really)
If you can't take it anymore, the BPM is exposed in the respective Z-I-v link of the simfile, as well as IT'S RIGHT ABOVE THIS QUESTION.
Q: Why do you listen to faggy Bemani songs over 4000 times eg. She is my wifeu?
A: 1) Sonne and Bad Maniacs aren't faggy. 2) Some Yoshitaka songs are "guilty pleasures" that I leave them on repeat and listen to them over 6000 times. 3) I don't listen to Mitsuru as much as I listen to Yoshitaka and Asaki. 4) I'll just leave the rest to your imagination.
Q: WHY THE FUCK DID YOU KICK MARIE ANTOINETTE FROM THE OXYGEN WARRIORS?
A: I thought of a better song to replace it. Simple as that.
