i hate chris foys steps, they are just horrible and are way over repetitive, but kyle ward makes the best and funnest steps.

Foy's are the best, MJ Emerizian's are the worst, although from what I could see of ITG2, he got a lot better.

As a sidenote: Plaguefox, did you make any stepcharts for ITG2?

Chris Foy is both my favorite and least favorite step creator.

K. Ward makes a lot of challenging and original steps that go well with the song and just are a lot of fun

C. Foy made Utopia Expert

K. Ward worked hard on not making his steps overly repetive while still retaining the individual feel of each song

C. Foy made Utopia Expert

K. Ward also Pandemonium which is great ranging from step jumps, jackhammer jumps (I don't know what they're called, those weird jump patterns near the beginning), long runs tha work smoothly and all of it original and fresh.

C. Foy made Utopia Expert

Damn you C. Foy for ruining a perfectly good sounding song with a rhythm that doesn't make sense unless you're in Bizarro World!

Foy makes fun to play steps - Hardcore of the North, Go 60 Go, Mobius,

Kyle's steps are all the same and boring (see the kyle ward thread) or don't go to the music (Hand of time??)
MJ's are different but still boring (Driving Force Classical, anyone?)
Ryan's are nicely done (Bouff)
Matt needs to make more, his don't stand out so I can't comment
same with the other step artists

1.) Read my previous post thoroughly. Do you see anywhere that I said Utopia Expert was repetive? I only complained about the rhythm.

2.) In fact, I've been plaing piano for over 10 years, I am in the audition jazz choir and jazz band at my school. I have played in multiple local bands and I'm working on releasing my 3rd album. You're right, I have no "musical perception"

3.) Chill out dude, This thread (like 95% of all threads of forums) is for OPINION. Your opinion is that Kyle is really repetitive and Foy makes fun unique stepcharts with his experimental style. My OPINION is that Kyle's stepcharts seem fresh and Foy's suck. Mmkay? Seriously, it's not like I attacked you or cussed you out or anything.

Sometimes I think the problem is that ITG songs are just too long, near the end of most songs I'm getting bored of the repeated steps and repeated vocals. Also, I think overall, the steps just arent that great (on Hard).........there are a few I like, but another dance game has even more that I enjoy. They need to get down to the core feeling of a song and bring it out in the steps and not just have random jumping and running around. Just my opinion.

I am surprised that no one seems to be a fan of MJ Emirzian. I find his stepcharts to have great crossovers and semi-turns, and overall an excellent flow. Driving Force Classical is a repetitive song, but Emirzian transforms it into my favorite song/stepchart combination. Mythology is excellent, too, with its pad circling without actually going a full 360 degrees. (The jumps are a bit repetitive, though.)

I don't want to dis C. Foy like everyone else for Utopia Expert, but different is not always good. I think I found the beat he attempts to follow, but it is horribly sync-ed. The rest of the song is good, though. I do like Liquid Moon, Oasis, and even Walking on Fire. HotN, DCH, and Remember December are good too. Glory to him for Bend Your Mind and Queen of Light!

K. Ward, your chain jumps pushed my pad under a table while playing Kagami (heaven forbid!). He is decent but not brilliant, although Anubis is great, July is good (the beats work, for heavens sake!) and so is Hand of Time, and Dawn is awesome. Lemmings on the Run is a lot of fun. His music is great, regardless.

M. Puls just doesn't stand out for some reason. Da Roots makes an excellent warm-up/fun romp. No 1 Nation has a decent stepchart. Do U Love me isn't bad either, though the 32nd notes anger me.

R. McKanna, what did you do again? Turn it On and Bouff are good. But really, where were you when everyone else was making charts?

Summary:
MJ Emirzian (I couldn't be the only one who likes this guy)
C. Foy (his own worst enemy)
K. Ward (mixed results, overuses chain jumps)
M. Puls (good, but not particularly striking)
R. McKanna (he designed stepcharts...are you sure?...yes, for heaven's sake!)

This post's favorite word: heaven

The giant post is finished. You may now commence the cannabalism of its dead body. Feed your children for years!

ZetaAspect -- you aren't the only one who likes MJs charts. They're generally my favorites as well. This is a very good thing, since I play a lot of double medium, which is basically all-MJ.

Yes, they're heavy on the stream, but I find stream to be fun. Also, as I've said once or twice on ITGfreak, I love the fact that MJ's charts rarely suffer from a common problem I find in Konami's charts, especially on 4-7 foot double charts -- the boring-boring-WTFKONAMI-boring-boring, where if you survive the one little arrowpileup, you've A or high B'ed the chart. But that one little section is so much harder, it's hard to learn any new skills but "flail here and try to stay alive". MJs charts I think do an excellent job of walking a player through new turning patterns.

I can't pass anything on Expert, and not even that much on doubles Hard (singles hard, yes, doubles, no), so I can't comment on that stuff, which I know is mostly what's getting rated in threads like this one.

Utopia Expert rythms DO MAKE SENSE!!!

It's the really hard the hear background parts.

I'm gonna find that out. Utopia's myth shall be busted!!!!
EDIT: Or confirmed...
EDIT: Confirmed: the steps match something in the song. However, that "something" is a medley of effects, as opposed to an actual instrument line. Thus, the steps are still kind of pushing it...
