In order to prevent getting bored of songs at the end, I reviewed in two separate sessions, and every 4 or 5 files I'd start from the other end

Andromeda -SF 2011 Mix-
feels very DDR2013 because of all the unmarked footswitches, haha. Fun.
Both: I really liked the stops, it fit the song well and was intuitive to play through.
Another reason it feels pretty DDR2013 is how spinny it is. But they all work out, pretty nice.

Air Balloon
Everything about this file flowed pretty well, with only one or two ambiguous steps I didn't agree with towards the end

Adore You
It's pretty slow and doesn't really stand out in my mind. I liked the little 16ths on "you-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo" at the end.

Boil
Like perfect.

Chartreuse
feels a little unnecessary. Wasn't clear when the footswitches became jacks.
works exactly the way I'd expect it to.

[Qualifier Singles] - Heaven Is A Place on Earth
I don't have a problem with either of the charts but why is the audio quality so low?
was alright. Some weird holds here and there, but I liked the way it ended.
is better than in terms of weirdness, with an equally nice ending.

Valanga
Definitely a well executed chart (Doublestep near the beginning?)

SuperNova
is a clusterfuck in the best possible way
is really well done too, and I liked the use of holds/rolls on the voice in both charts

SUPERGABBER
wow lmao
(Have you heard Hakke en Zage by any chance?)

Childish War
wtf, why isn't there a step on the last kick in the song? It should have been a right arrow after the hold

Come & Get it
Some of this chart was outright obnoxious but fitting to the song. Those jumps though, haha
Even so, I almost still gave this points.

DARK LEGACY
It was alright, I liked the stop but only because I knew the song pretty well.
It was a little hard to predict what you want the player to actually do at times

Dreamin' Feelin'
You did pretty well for such a repetitive song

Sticker of Puyo Puyo
This song triggered a nostalgic feeling for me
Nothing here really stood out though

Some Day Instrumental
Some doublesteps I don't agree with

Snow Motion
Great, but feels a little unpolished in places. LOVED the footswitches.

Smells like a chocolate
Real talk, I should have ditched the challenge then spent time making the heavy more unique and original.
The challenge is simply an experiment to see what the PiU chart would play like on 4 panel (without autogenning obviously, lmao)

Reaper
Oh

Extroadinary Machine
Well, this was an interesting file. I enjoyed it quite a bit, though I didn't expect to

Gutsman Stage
I don't really see why this needed to be stepped, the song lends itself to a fairly uninteresting chart, and the speedup at the end
is kind of mean. The patterning was good though.

Galaxy Supernova
It was fun, but I found myself facing left for way too long

Guren no honoo
This file actually feels like a reference to *me* for some reason ._.

Reach for the Stars
Not so sure about those crossovers leading into 16th bursts, and also some of those jumps seemed pretty obnoxious
Much better. A couple of ambiguous steps though.

Rat Twist
Like perfect for what it is. Trip Machine as Fuck.

Quo Vadis
Kind of awesome, but feels waaaay too long.
I agree with 90% of your purples, but one or two of them I felt didn't need to be there.
Also, beat 246 appears to be an error? Should have been 16th-8th, not 8th-16th. I'd not normally comment on something like this,
but the rest of the chart was really consistent with what it did.
Not much to say about , was good.

Provoke
I always expect stream dumps when I hear music like this. Chart worked well, really enjoyed the hold crossovers.

Insane Techniques (Radio Edit)
Patterning works but seemed hella random, like the crossovers that were inconsistent with
the music and even with other parts of the same chart. As a result the steps felt kind of scatterbrained and not very memorable.
P.S. Where did you get this audio? Who made the radio edit? Haha

Hitori Shizuka
Works well and feels nice to play. Something feels a Teeny bit weird about some holds though,
and I'm not really a fan of those forced doublesteps. I did like the large run with the 16ths and 24ths, though.
Is awesome.

Kimochi wa Tsutawaru
chart was hype. Another candidate for points. Slowdown at the end was a teeny bit hard to follow but not impossible.
beautiful spin in the middle. However, the slowdown at the end is still too abrupt, even after two attempts.

Kiss the Stars
fairly simple fun patterning
Not really a fan of this kind of music (ear worm pop tune that turns out to be another obnoxious song about sex)

Pop Music Ron
Like perfect.

NIL
Great, no issues with it

NEW Astronomas
Cool song, decent patterning, but some of it just doesn't sit right with me.

Neapolitan Dreams (Sound Remedy Remix)
Lmao the preview clip makes my theme freak out, what the heck is that bpm
The 's patterning is pretty ,
and the weird BPMs and even weirder (karaoke stepping) rhythms make this very difficult to play.
It doesn't help that the fastest BPM that needs to be read (~545?) isn't actually marked at all (false #DISPLAYBPM). Please never do this.
is almost the exact same chart, which is pretty bad practice in general imo. It's also absolutely not a 7, due to the nonsense max BPM.

minna no maimaimaa
What an annoying song, haha
Very well put together chart, though

LIADZ Cranky Mix
You stepped different things to what all the other charts for this song have, and it makes me feel uncomfortable D:
Doublestep near the beginning just before a 16th burst, a pretty bad time for a doublestep.

LUV CAN SAVE U
Like perfect.


Real talk, it'd be nice if more people used the description field in their simfiles.

I feel kinda bad for not giving points to things

It seems we have a 4 way tie for the last 2 spots between Extraordinary Machine (Astroman129), Neapolitan Dreams (crusher189), Some day (SupremeX), and Reach for the star (Vincentw). Because we have a tie for first, I'll have both Telperion and Lisek decide what 2 songs move on.

---

But if you do that, you'll then have 33 songs in the bracket (counting the byes from Hiryuu and warpdr!ve, unless Hiryuu didn't actually resign, in which case I'm sorry)

---

BUMP:

http://challonge.com/ZIVTOI4D

DOUBLES BRACKET!

There's 30 in and two spots blank. So it would be the 2 out of the 4. Hiryuu and warpdr!ve resigned from the tourny.

Bump: yeah it's 31 songs now, I forgot to add Ham. So just come to an agreement to vote on one of the 4 songs listed.

---

We already decided with Telperion, he will post who passes ;)

Lisek and I have made our decision! The SP bracket wildcard is:
some day (instrumental) (SupremeX)

---

Oh well, I tried. There's still singles for me if I'm not mistaken.

http://challonge.com/ZIVTOI4S

TOI4 Singles bracket.

---

Oh fuck I might be facing Silverhawke. Again.

BYE GUUUUYYYS

---

Hmmm, are we safe to post our entry for the week? I don't wanna get yelled at again for doing anything in the category I shouldn't have xD

Yeah, it's safe...

[Round 1 Singles]
S: 2 / 5 / 6 / 9 / 10
D: x / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10
BPM: 142
Genre: Progressive
Youtube Preview

Challenge and doubles included for extra effect (because I had them ready). Can't wait to see what Rikame sends out against me. Hate on the spins all you want.

EDIT: Took out the Challenge steps for now. Noticed an awkward jump in the middle.

May I still vote even though I've been eliminated?

And thank you for the feedback, TaroNuke.

Anyone can vote.
People who've been eliminated...people who are not even in the tournament.
Anyone.

-two weeks later-

whoops
