09 | 3196 steps (3.34 per second)
10 | 4394 steps (4.59 per second)
11 | 4931 steps (5.15 per second)
13 | 6327 steps (6.60 per second)
15 | 7531 steps (7.86 per second)

The second Really Long Stuff original. This song is featured on the Initial D ~D Selection 3~ album and contains several excellent eurobeat tracks featured in the Initial D series, mixed with some characters voice clips. The medium 11 is essentially the 'true' chart that fits the music most accurately, whereas the 13 and 15 charts provide more challenge for streaming enthousiasts such as myself. Quick breakdown:

09 | broken 8th streams, steps mainly follow the vocals.
10 | long 8th streams, some short 16th bursts (only a few notes per burst).
11 | similar to the 10, but with more 16th bursts (up to 1 measure in length).
13 | short 16th streams, varying between 6 to 8 measures in length.
15 | long 16th streams, adding up to several hundred measures in total.

Back in 2007 when I first started playing DDR at anime conventions, the Initial D charts quickly became some of my favourite charts to play. There is just something really hype about eurobeat in combination with DDR/ITG, and stomping arrows to songs like Night of Fire, Heartbeat and I Need Your Love always felt like a blast. To recreate some of that hype, I ended up stepping the Initial D ~Hyper Mega Mix~ for Really Long Stuff. The mix was originally just under 14 minutes long, so I tacked on I Need Your Love at the end (which, honestly, should have been included in the first place, since I Need Your Love is objectively the best song on the entire soundtrack). With the added song, the 'extended' mix exceeded the length of 15 minutes necessary for qualify for Really Long Stuff and ended up becoming the first completed expansion song.

Tracklist:

Space Boy / Dave Rodgers
Back on the Rocks / Mega NRG Man
Running in the 90's / Max Coveri
My Only Star / Susan Bell
Save Me / Leslie Parrish
Remember Me / Leslie Parrish
Dance Around the World / Delta Queens
No One Sleep in Tokyo / Edo Boys
Heartbeat / Nathalie
I Need Your Love / Dave Simon

Gawd yissss, thanks Fietsemaker! Can't wait to try it out. : ). The bpm seems comfortable as well. <3

EDIT: The bpm just means infinite 16th streams I guess. qwq Can't handle that 15, haha! Can't wait for more expansions though.

EDIT EDIT: Passed the 15.

This is the second of the five expansion songs. You can check the song info below the banner.



Really Long Stuff :: Expansion Song #2

duration: 25:44
BPM: 173.000-191.000
genre: Hardcore

12 | 7987 steps (5.2 per second)
14 | 9154 steps (6.0 per second)
15 | 10459 steps (6.8 per second)
16 | 11788 steps (7.7 per second)
18 | 13732 steps (9.0 per second)

Exterminate the core. We're gonna blow up the bass and trigger off the kicks. Be the victim of the beats, yeah. It's gonna erupt, it's gonna burst. Feel rhythm heating up. Radical gabber groove hits the floor. You better keep up with it. THE DETONATOR! Quick breakdown:

12 | a few short 1-measure 16th streams, but mostly just bursts and technical stuff.
14 | some short 16th streams, but mostly bursts, adding up to around 80 measures in total.
15 | several 16th streams around 8-16 measures, some breaks, adding up to 250+ measures in total.
16 | several 16th streams around 16-32 measures, some breaks, adding up to 450+ measures in total.
18 | many 16th streams, few breaks, adding up to 650+ measures in total.

So yeah, this song is actually pretty technical on the lower difficulties. The higher difficulties are still just mostly stream though. I tried to include another 15 chart, since RLS currently has so few of them, and I'm pretty happy with how the difficulty breakdown turned out. This megamix has a really nice build-up and will definitely get you hyped up when playing, so enjoy!

Tracklist:

THE DETONATOR / teranoid vs. L.E.D.-G
THE SHINING POLARIS / L.E.D. feat. Sana (kors k mix)
DAWN -THE NEXT ENDEAVOUR- / L.E.D. fw.堀澤麻衣子
ACID IMMORTAL / L.E.D.-G
SOLID STATE SQUAD / L.E.D. Vs. kors k
STEEL NEEDLE / L.E.D.-G
THE LAST STRIKER / L.E.D.-G

We're gonna devastate, the place down.

However, since there are still 3 expansion songs remaining...

You think this is it?
You haven't seen nothing.

I'll make sure to get a score of this soon enough.

10 | 8542 steps (4.0 per second)
12 | 12236 steps (5.7 per second)
14 | 14323 steps (6.6 per second)
17 | 16238 steps (7.5 per second)
18 | 18030 steps (8.4 per second)

The third Really Long Stuff original. This simfile is almost entirely courtesy of Badjas. She did all of the patterning/steps, and even though it was her first marathon song we only had to make a few minor adjustments and corrections afterwards. I can still take the credit for syncing though, especially for Miracle 5ympho X because it was a nightmare of speedups and slowdowns. Quick breakdown:

10 | a mix of 4th stream and 8th stream.
12 | long 8th streams, a few 16th bursts.
14 | long 8th streams, many 16th bursts but never longer than a measure.
17 | various 16th streams up to 16 meausres, about 300 in total.
18 | various 16th streams up to 32 measures, about 500 in total.

This time the next expansion song came around a lot quicker. This is the fourth of the five expansion songs. You can check the song info below the banner.

10 | 13093 steps (3.7 per second)

15 | 23933 steps (6.7 per second)
16 | 27350 steps (7.6 per second)
17 | 32929 steps (9.2 per second)

This is essentially a longer and beefier version of Oceanlab, and currently the longest Really Long Stuff simfile that has been released. Clocking in at a full hour, this file will really test your patience and the durability of your arms (unless you play no-bar). Some preparation is recommended. Shoutouts to t0ni for originally creating this monster. Quick breakdown:

10 | Mostly 8th stream, some sections with sparse 16ths, no 16th stream.
14 | 860 total measures of 16th stream, with sections up to 56 measures.
15 | 1214 total measures of 16th stream, with sections up to 80 measures.
16 | 1551 total measures of 16th stream, with sections up to 196 measures.
17 | 2058 continuous measures of 16th stream. No breaks. Yep.

What about #5?

[Fietsemaker]

It's here! Better late than never right? This is the fifth and final expansion song for the original RLS pack. However, there will actually be more RLS-related content coming in the future. Credits go to Rems & co. for the original chart and Badjas for the RLS edits.

13 | 18453 steps (5.1 per second)
14 | 23763 steps (6.6 per second)
16 | 27994 steps (7.8 per second)
17 | 30549 steps (8.5 per second)
18 | 34317 steps (9.5 per second)

This marathon was mixed by Rems for the French Coast Stamina 3 event as one of the hour-long marathons. In terms of music it's very comparable to XS Project Megamix that was released earlier in BaguetteStreamz, but this one is a lot longer and much more intimidating at the higher difficulties. It has some really great tracks though, so it is definitely a recommended play. Quick breakdown:

13 | Various bursts and tricky rhythms, but no streams longer than 3 measures.
14 | 749 total measures of 16th stream, with sections up to 16 measures.
16 | 1318 total measures of 16th stream, with sections up to 56 measures.
17 | 1638 total measures of 16th stream, with one section of 100+ measures.
18 | 2050 total measures of 16th stream, with several sections of 100+ measures.
