Twinkle Star from F-777 on ThirdStyle!

By: kisler - Friday, January 27th, 2012

Today's song will be familiar to many people. Over the years, musicians have tried creating their own variations of the well-known tune "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman," to which the lyrics of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (or the English alphabet) are sung. Hey, even Mozart did it.

Even so, Newgrounds artist F-777 did not remix this familiar tune by choice; instead, a friend of his dared him to make Twinkle Star. This is a speedy dance song, at 170bpm, and includes a bunch of 32nd rolls and rhythmic jacks - see for yourself. ichliebekase dedicates this stepfile to her daughter Jaselynn.

So, go buy Twinkle Star! It costs 125 StylePoints in the store. However, the ever vigilant tebukuro managed to grab the song while it accidentally cost nothing at all. Nice...job?

Water everywhere! Rivers and Streams on ThirdStyle!

Rarely, very rarely do we get a song made especially for ThirdStyle. Sometimes something like TRIBAL RIDDEMS by Jonny might happen. The new song is another entry in this category.

Rivers and Streams is a pretty speedy, if brief, techno song. Its title is a hint to what this file is all about. If you're expecting 180bpm note streams, you guessed correctly! This tune is both created and stepped by Shiki (click here for Backstage). Welcome to the simfiler and musician teams simultaneously, Shiki!

MORE phenomenal ThirdStyle releases!

Whew! There's now a new item in the shop, the first of 2012! It's Edit (Padlock Remix), a chilling combination of IDM and breakcore. Padlock made this remix from the original song of the same name by Bolshevik Rave Party. The files are stepped by Zero and are in the store for 450 StylePoints. I like the new infinity symbols in there, too.

Buy Edit (Padlock Remix)

iR2-X is a new artist on ThirdStyle, and as such, we need to give him a proper welcome. The song of his now in game is called Bloody Tears, a remix of the one from the Castlevania II soundtrack. This file stepped by Nocturne, at 165bpm, does not ordinarily seem like the biggest threat. However, like Daeva Part IV, beware the constant-bpm chart stops!

Also coming from Newgrounds is F-777, with the trance/dance song Blizzard. He describes the track as "just a test thing" he made, but it's music regardless, and ichliebekase liked it enough to bring it here.

Lastly, obligatory Renard song is Renard. No, actually, it's Year of the Bad Dragon from the Quick Brown Fox alias. It's a hilarious song; I really can't say much about it, so be prepared to fail out from laughing. Thanks to Jonny for bringing it here.

Stop SOPA .. its lame and a waste of time and resources better spent elsewhere

By: JasonKey - Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Guys, these last few weeks have had the entire ThirdStyle team swamped with on site and off site activities. However, just want to be clear that a large number of ThirdStyle stands AGAINST SOPA and does feel that its a bucket of pure legislative poo being drummed up. Something tells me we are better up and talking about it in this case, as the team is all over the place this week.

In any case may the big boys rapidly drop this silly bit of paper to the ground and move on with actual important issues at hand here in the US please!

Upgrades complete

All, we just did a fast set of upgrades this evening. Sorry for the hiccups, but it was long overdue.

Let me know if you see any kinks and will try and get in and get the items cleaned up as we go.

Thanks for your patience!

PHENOMENAL Releases of January

ThirdStyle is starting off 2012 with these three great files, brought to us by two new simfilers!

GET READY TO BREAK YOUR FINGERS with our first new release, a metal song called Abyssal by Fleshgod Apocalypse, and stepped by the one and only Dossar, who is arguably the greatest keyboard smasher in the history of arrows. This is quite the challenging file, definitely one of the hardest so far!

Here is what some of our users had to say about the file...
DefTeaMachine: I bout broke mah fingas on dat shizz
SkRAWRk: DOSSAR FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Nocturne: BR00TAL

Play Abyssal!



Fleshgod Apocalypse is a famous Italian symphonic technical death metal band. Be sure to check them out if you like their music here:

Second, we have a short but great, upbeat electronic song called Thinking Mode by 586rick , and stepped by our first female simfiler of the year, ichliebekase! Not much is really known about 586rick, so we're just gonna move on.

Play Thinking Mode!

And third, also stepped by ichliebekase, we have Burning Bright by Ogbeatz, a trance song by a highschool student but future club/rave DJ. Check out Ogbeatz, previously known to the world as DaveGuy, and let him know what you think about his tracks here. ichliebekase sure has a knack for stepping relatively unknown newgrounds artists!

Play Burning Bright!

Happy New Year from ThirdStyle!

It's a new year! Even if it's not yet for you, we roll east coast here.

Americans have probably just seen that glowing ball that dominates the cameras descend on Times Square as your announcer of choice counts down. I've got potentially disappointing news; that ball is not nearly as big as you might think. It's a tad over-hyped. So instead, Figure is dropping a much bigger ball with the tune of the traditional Auld Lang Syne. His new drumstep (rather, DICKCLARKSTEP) song, The Ball Drop, is available for free download on his website. In addition, it's here on ThirdStyle as a new level.

Now, if I had to describe this level in twelve words for 2012, I might say sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, and easy. Housekeeper, the stepper of these files, says himself that they are easier than his usual creations. But ultimately it's for the player to decide.

is sold out. Awesome job, dudes! Thanks to xMUSICxMASTERx for breaking down and buying the last 4. Now we can all see Tasselfoot get dissed like never before and transformed into a mangina! Watch that profile!

e: In addition, y'all should thank Nobody for buying up a fifth of the stock!

Day 12! The finale...double the fun! (FlashFlashRevolution [FFR] / ThirdStyle [TS] Event)

Merry Christmas! Okay, the big news for today: All StylePoint gains are doubled. I know you'll want to get playing pretty quickly to take advantage of this, so I'll briefly describe today's releases. Also, remember to sacrifice Tass!

The Air I Breathe, a simultaneously gentle and rough rock/screamo song by Our Last Night, is stepped by Nocturne. You might notice the file is not a constant BPM, but at the same time it doesn't try to shove gimmicks down your throat.

Play The Air I Breathe!

Aquazar Destroys The Plastic World is from a common name here on ThirdStyle, odaxelagnia, and it sounds as much like a walking mass of samples as Freaking Club Music. In fact, even the charts by Housekeeper seem similar. Whatever, it's all fun.

Play Aquazar Destroys The Plastic World!

Carol Of The Bells...hmm, this sounds strikingly familiar too! That aside, this version done by August Burns Red has actual bells which build into a powerful rock/metal melody with a kick. Stepped by DrTran.

Play Carol Of The Bells (again)!

Jingle Bells Speedcore is exactly as it says - it's a certain familiar tune with a fresh, fast kick injected by SD-501. The chart stepped by Jonny is also festive, containing only red, green and white notes! Amy has dubbed it "new Speedcore 300" though, so watch out!

Play Jingle Bells Speedcore!

Congrats to Nobody for being the first player to hit a grand total score of 3 billion points! Come to think of it, he was also the first to hit 300 hours. He's also also helped us out a ton by buying up 100 Sacrifice Tasses. Nice work!

Day 11! More than a token offering! (Flash Flash Revolution [FFR] / ThirdStyle [TS] Event)

And so we arrive at Day 11 of the FFR and ThirdStyle event, the last day of event releases on FFR. Everyone excited? Well you should be, because we have FOUR files for you today!

Where Are You Christmas by The Piano Guys (iironiic) – Classical (Piano Ensemble) / Tricky / 3:53
Rain by YMCK (Kommisar) – Secret [48,000 credits] (Cutie 8-bit Pop) / For Gurus Only / 5:05

Where Are You Christmas is a beautiful song from YouTube sensations The Piano Guys, with masterfully synced steps provided by iironiic. The song is a cover of an old favorite recorded by Faith Hill, but still retains all the magic the original inspires. Hopefully as you sit and play this file, the tune puts you in a wistful Christmas mood!

The song Rain has spawned some notoriously hard charts for Stepmania, and Kommisar’s steps for FFR certainly don’t disappoint either when it comes to difficulty. The lengthy chart features a little of everything, with some fast and relentless streams, some dense 16th jump sections, a handful of tricky polyrhythms… oh and those trills that Rain files tend to be infamous for. Definitely not a file for the faint of fingers!

Rudi the Techno Pioneer by Chevron (hi19hi19) – Skill-Token (Raggacore) / For Masters Only / 3:09
Requirement: Full Combo Nedeleg Laouen! with 2 or less goods.

This file is an extremely unique take on the classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tune… and maybe some other Christmas classics mashed in there too. Score some solid accuracy on the recently released Purchased file Nedeleg Laouen! and Rudi can be yours to play forever.

Piano Etude (Demon Fire) [Oni] by OSTER Project (who_cares973) – Skill-Token (Piano Solo) / For Gurus Only / 3:17
Requirement: Get 1224 Combo and pass on Piano Etude (Demon Fire) [Heavy]

Piano Etude (Demon Fire) [Oni] is…a challenge. By showing you can combo the already rather difficult public chart for this song, you can unlock this masterpiece stepped by wc. Not only does it have much more accurate sync than the public chart, it also steps far more of the sounds in the song, making it extremely difficult. For all those who have been wanting another intense classical chart, please enjoy!

Big thanks to hi19hi19 for writing practically all of this!

In addition to tomorrow's releases here on ThirdStyle, we still want to sell out those Sacrifice Tass items, so we'll be having another little event for making some StylePoints. Details then! Meanwhile, there are still 70 left...go buy!
