Reviews

Genesis of Aquaron - 6/10 - Offsync and kinda boring, but I guess it's fine otherwise.

I'm so Happy - 6/10 - It's just... weird. IDK. I don't like it.

Ijime! Dame! Zettai! - 7/10 - Also serves as my rating for the Expert chart. There's just too much empty space for it to be an 8; this, in turn, made it feel awkward. See My Only Shining Star.

Jamboree

King of Sales: 10/10 - OMG THIS SONG IS AWESOME also it's a good chart, I would say it pushes a 9 rating though, I feel like it could pass as an easy 10.

Magic Melody: 9.5/10
-Expert: This flows well, I loved it. 10/10
-Challenge: Flows pretty well, although those short freezes could have been left out. 9/10

PARANOiA KCET ~clean mix~ (FROM NONSTOP MEGAMIX): 8/10
-Expert: Honestly, it was just above decent compared to other songs. I liked it a little, but it felt kinda weird. 7/10
-Challenge: Better than Expert, flowed fairly well. 9/10.

PLASMA SURGE: 10/10
-Expert: Pretty fun, I liked it. No other comments, sorry. 10/10
-Challenge: 2hard4me NA/10 (doesn't count)

Präludium: 8.5/10
-Expert: Kinda hard, in a weird way... IDK. 8/10
-Challenge: Nice use of shock arrows, I actually liked it better than Expert for some reason. 9/10

ローゼンさとりん: 5/10 - Weird difficulty ratings. Difficult/Expert should be moved up one and a new Difficult written. Also, I didn't finish the song, but Expert felt kinda weird...

Round and Round: 10/10 - Well done. No comments, sorry.

STARS: 10/10 - I'm bad at comments

Supergirl: 9/10 - Maybe a little boring, but good overall.

ウトゥルサヌ: I didn't really like it, sorry. BPM doubling mostly. 8/10.

Who's That Chick: Too many freezes, rhythm seemed awkward, facing left most of the time. Didn't really like, sorry. 7/10.

after all, it was funny

---

Genesis Of Aquarion (DJ Marcuz vs DJ AQ Hands Up Remix) / Aura Qualic (NXCProduction)
Graphics: Ehh.
Song: I'm 90% sure the info on this song is wrong and it's supposed to be "AQUARION 2012 (MARCUZ VS DJ A.Q. RMX) / AQUARION". This remix is pretty bad and so is the cut.
Steps: has too many freeze arrows. There were some awkward parts and it felt boring.

I'm so Happy (kors k Remix) / Ryu☆ (Nuneez)
Graphics: Dear God.
Song: I don't really care for this remix at all. The cut was meh since it was a fadeout.
Steps: 13? Must be ITG. I hate ITG charts usually. It felt like this chart was just full of stepping that went to nothing. It was so bad I almost failed at one point.

イジメ、ダメ、ゼッタイ / BABYMETAL (Pandemonium X)
Graphics: The romanization is totally unnecessary (that's more of my personal opinion though). Banner doesn't display on StepMania 3.9. The font choice could have been better for イジメ、ダメ、ゼッタイ.
Song: I love this song a lot, but it was ruined by another fadeout.
Steps: Wow, this is really good. This is my favorite so far. I don't have anything bad to say.

Jamboree / Dublin Fair (hooky)
Graphics: Meh.
Song: Not my cup of tea.
Steps: Pretty bad. It would make you face weird directions and there were way too many gallops for my taste.

판매왕 / 노라조 (Telperion)
Graphics: If the song is called 판매왕, why did you put King Of Sales? Good other than that. Banner doesn't display on StepMania 3.9.
Song: Uhh, ok. Didn't care for it at all. Cool, it wasn't a fadeout. You go, Glen Coco.
Steps: You've stepped better before.

Magic Melody (Deamon House Remix) / Cj Mkh (AkihiroIIDX)
Graphics: Good.
Song: I didn't care for it.
Steps: Started way too early. Very good for what you had to work with. I liked the repeating parts.

PARANOiA KCET ～clean mix～ (FROM NONSTOP MEGAMIX) / 2MB (GariK+)
Graphics: Very nice. I like how you did kinda what FROM NONSTOP MEGAMIX songs did in DDR, and not include the subtitle.
Song: Meh. I don't care for it.
Steps: Started way too early. I liked these a lot. Would play again (and did).

PLASMA SURGE / Rygon (TaroNuke)
Graphics: lol ama-tan it's funny because "SHE" made some of the steps too.
Song: Cool song, xRGTMx.
Steps: Started way too early. Best steps I've played so far.

Präludium / Yuko Takahashi (xRGTMx)
Graphics: Meh.
Song: Good song, shit quality. Not very steppable.
Steps: Didn't care for this at all, sorry. BPM changes were kind of annoying, too.

ローゼンさとりん / Drop (Braeden47)
Graphics: Don't exist.
Song: It's ok.
Steps: Offsync so I'm not playing that shit.

Round and Round / Masayoshi Minoshima feat. 綾倉盟 (Blinded_No_More)
Graphics: Typical Blinded stuff.
Song: Bad Apple!! ver. 2.0 feat. scratching. I like this song more than Bad Apple!! though.
Steps: The scratching part and the slowdown felt really weird to me. The rest was meh. The song is called Round and Round at least put a spin or 2 in there.

STARS (Ryu☆Remix RRver.) / Another Infinity feat. Mayumi Morinaga (xXMokou98Xx)
Graphics: You tried. Banner doesn't display on StepMania 3.9.
Song: No. I didn't like this song when I listened to the albums it was on and I still don't like it now.
Steps: Good. Made up for the fact that I had to play this horrible song. Watch your freeze lengths though.

Supergirl (Team 33 Radio Edit) / Miss Papaya (Lisek)
Graphics: Cute.
Song: Cute.
Steps: Cute.

ウトゥルサヌ / オレンジレンジ (Azn_punk_07)
Graphics: Really good.
Song: Ok.
Steps: I really liked this except the one part where it got really hard. You should've toned that down a little bit, I feel like that didn't match the rest of the chart. The speedup was shit. I don't know if that was your idea or not, but a big NO to that.

Who's That Chick? / David Guetta ft. Rihanna (ddrstepper)
Graphics: Lazy but they get the job done. Banner doesn't display on StepMania 3.9.
Song: Sounds kinda loud. Also, "ft.". Ew.
Steps: Good. Freezes were fine to me, I don't know what people are talking about.
Other: Don't use "?" or any characters that normally wouldn't be allowed in filenames when using custom ZIP.

I'm So Happy Kors K

As for actual criticism:
Pointless incorrect speed changes that shouldn't ever be there, lots of incorrect rhythms, and not actually a 13 just a kinda dumb 12.
Also some doublesteps existing.

Ijime Dame Zettai
Good GOOD song. One or two unexpected doublesteps, but overall very good!

Round and Round
Gud. Also I don't know what everyone's beef is with there "not being spins". I counted AT LEAST two.

STARS
I didn't have any problems with it other than it being really, really, long, and very repetitive. Couple of ambiguous steps in the beginning.
As what felt like hours went on, my opinion of it went from a high vote to a low vote to a probably not any vote.
Summary: tl;dv. (Too long, didn't vote)
But I enjoyed it a lot before it got long.

Praludium
Wow what a rude chart. This kind of undeserved difficulty makes Ama-tan proud.
Jumps tho..

ローゼンさとりん
It's offsync, but I played it to the end anyway due to liking the song.
Some decent rhythms here. BUT IT'S ALL LEFT FACING.
An all left facing chart to me, what it feels like is, you know when one side of your body
desperately itches, but there's no way to scratch it, you can only scratch the left side. Yeah, that.
Regardless, if it wasn't offsync, the good rhythms and the song itself would have given you a minor vote.

Su~pa~girl
Wow that was adorable

Magic Melody

PARANOiA KCET ~clean mix~
ARE YOU OKAY?
It was all round good, but some of the crosses didn't quite work out. As per usual with an old style PARANOiA. Nice song though.
Something about this chart felt very DDR official. It had quite a bit of polish, a few doublesteps, various incorrect rhythms and a few really good spins.
Good Job.
THOSE 12THS SHOULD BE 16THS.

King of Sales
GOOD BUT That high intensity run at the beginning felt WAY out of place haha.

Genesis of Aquarion
Slightly offsync and doublesteps.
read https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2526020/r21GuidePart1.htm

Jamboree
Somewhat boring, somewhat awkward patterns, bad cut.

Who's That Chick?
Noticeably more left facing than right facing, but pretty really good overall.

ウトゥルサヌ
@BPM Change: UM, EXCUSE ME? BUT IT WAS GOING SO WELL!
The patterns before the speedup were interesting and creative! Nothing about that speedup was deserved!

F this new computer for not displaying Asian characters...

+5 King of Sales
- Taroperion? Is excellent.

+4 Magic Melody (Deamon House Remix)
- Solid and straight forward, very well put together. Though I'm not a fan of micro-Freezes in that quantity.

+3 Praludium
- Little heavy-handed at the beginning but a great file over all.

+2 Round and Round
- Good flow, difficult stretches right where they should be.

+1 Uturusanu
- I want a copy of this simfile without the random speed up.
-----
Genesis Of Aquarion (DJ Marcuz vs DJ AQ Hands Up Remix)
- Funky step combinations, good flow but maybe a litte Freeze heavy.

STARS (Ryu Remix RRVer.)
- Such a simple pattern but it worked very well. Just a good, fun chart.

Rosen Satorin
- Very well timed and matched to the music.

PLASMA SURGE
- Definitely not made for me, but definitely awesome.

Supergirl (Team 33 Radio Edit)
- lol, mines? Simple and fun.

Jamboree
- Reminds me of Cotton Eye Joe, just simply a fun chart all around.

Ijime! Dame! Zettai!
- Very solid chart, but it feels way too easy for the type of music playing.

Who's That Chick?
- Well put together but kinda forgettable.

I'm So Happy (kors k Remix)
- Such a grave difference between light and heavy stepping and the arrow density didn't really match the music.

PARANOiA KCET ~clean mix~ (FROM NONSTOP MEGAMIX)
- It's hard, I'll give you that.

There weren't really any bad files this week, awesome. Here's hoping that becomes a thing.

I am too late to release a file (again), look closely at my user info to find out why. But I will definitely have time this week since I don't have any life-threatening deadlines to meet IRL. BRING IT!

welp

Side note, but I'm not a fan of gimmicks nor early starts (as in, when the steps start earlier of what they should). These two things really affected my voting here.
As such, I didn't really like the files this week as much as last week...

[jerkmode]I don't wanna sound like a jerk, but these appear to be purely subjective criterias
I'm not saying I was 100% objective in my votes, but I do consider the chart itself and nothing else, regardless I like it or not.
If one doesn't like gimmicks, then he shouldn't see gimmicks as a negative thing, but instead look how they're made, and only if he finds out that the gimmicks cause the song to drift, or are not relevant to the song, or give too much artificial difficulty to the song, then he can point them out negatively.[/jerkmode]
Fuck, I regret everything and I hate myself

@Blinded_No_More
Your Round 2 file is strangely off-sync. It's like 50ms off or something.
