WHat is so good about BMR?

i have not seen one good dwi by BMR, besides Afronoia, which isnt that good anyways. His A steps have nothing to do with the music, and the one song with the guy saying "funkebeet" in the background doesnt ever have the right BPM! why do you guy like him? taren, udder, and MJ OWN him! (not a flame, just seeing what you guys like about him)

I personally like his stuff cause of the challenge, I can pass all his songs except Gravity(damn that song), but ever since Stepmania added the Quick transformation option I dont play his stuff as much rilly except Tommorow Perfume cuz that song is one of my favs^_^, most of his steps go with the song though in someway or another, in his version of A I think the steps go with the piano. BTW who is Taren, Udder, and MJ?

The steps in A and V both go with the piano.. all of his "extreme" songs, like A, V, G2, Gravity etc go with the music perfectly and is very well synched... he is a really great dwi maker IMO, even is he does go a little over the top on voltage sometimes oO

He usually does a pretty good job with his .dwi files, they're well-synched and thought out. Nothing of godly proportions or anything, but he's pretty damn good.

I personally think Udderdude/MJ and Taren are about even with him. Their styles are a little different, but the .dwi's are all solid.

The assist ticks in Stepmania have a weird echo thats offbeat and the noise is different depending on practice mode or arcade.

Listen to DXY with the assist tick.

I myself sometimes go back and forth over whether I like his steps, but one thing is undeniable. He has the most beautiful, most professional, most artistic backgrounds of any other dwi artist out there. Just look at Boomerang v2 from tournamix for example.....

I think G2 is on-beat, but I still hate it...sometings were just not meant to made that hard. It doesn't seem to me that the song itself calls for such difficulty. All of konami's songs (at least the 10 footers) scream to be made difficult, but I don't think the step difficulty matches with that particular song.

Yea, Spiggy is the mad photoshopper (even though BMRs DWI quality went down when Spiggy started doing his artwork).

And the reason that BMRs songs go with the music... they're just IIDX key rips. Take V for example. In IIDX it goes bottom 4 keys to the top 3 keys on 8th notes. BMR's V it goes LR - DU - LR - DU or DL - UR - DL - UR jumps, which produces a similar effect. And also, he's too lazy to make his own trick and basic steps. He just auto-gens them in a BMS editor. Just play a round of Versus with auto-play on and watch how similar the steps are.

I like some of his stuff. Carte Blanche is a favorite. I hardly like any of MJ/Udder's stuff. Some of Taren's is good, namely the IVKAS series.

Toxic Robot owns all of them any day of the week, seriously.

Tournamix 4 Results... The Legend of ART 3rd place, Boomerang v2 10th lol.

I don't like *most of* BMRs stuff because it's totally impossible in real life, though Boomerang was a great file and showed that he really does have some talent, maybe he should try to make more "real" ddr songs, instead of having Beatmania craziness all the time.

Some of his DWI's are alright, like Tomorrow Perfume, but most are way too over-the-top.

Isn't the solution when you find a song is too hard generally to play it on Standard instead of Heavy for a change? ^_-;

The stuff I can do, I like. I'm in awe of V cause I know it's physically possible and once you get the hand of it, it's pretty fun.

I can understand why people would hate BMR's stuff. I used to not like it all that much myself, but I dunno. I've kinda warmed to it recently

actually all of bmr's dwis are on beat. all the iidx songs are the same bpm as it is in iidx itself. all his notes make perfect sense.

The whole point of my post was sarcasm

. I loved Boomerang.
But the Art series is hillarious.

I enjoy V and Angelfalls because their patterns are not too tricky. G2 I can tolatate but stuff like Gravity and A are not possible(at least for me, obviously other people have done them and well too). I haven't tried all of his, I may get Tomorrow Perfume, but I'm kinda inbetween about BMR, some is fun-hard and others are insane-hard.

I like all of BeMaNiRuler's DWI's. I remember playing DWI on someone else's computer once, and found I'm the Scatman and V...i thought V was the hardest thing ever though

took me almost 3 months to pass it, having never played DWI before. Since then i've downloaded and played all his dwi's, and i like em. Same with pretty much every other original that doesnt suck. (Except supercletus, he is a dwi GOD...50 minute twinkle twinkle littler star

)

G2 is perfectly on sync btw

I've nearly AA'd it...always get misses in taht last run right before the end though. V = AA 2 greats, Gravity = C with obscene number of noncombo's

; Its not too tough, just takes practice and good pattern recognition.

If you think BeMaNiRuler's dwi's are too tough though, just play IIDX, you'll think they're easy.

if you like bemani ruler because his steps are so damn hard, then you should check out a guy by the name of arch0wl, some of his songs are on bemanisims but the complete collection is at www.arch0wl.com/originals

now try payon or flight of the bumble bee rock guitar mix, they own bmr's difficulties anyday.
