WEEK 8 RESULTS!
Taking 1st Place with 58 Points is... Peek-A-Boo, by DDRDAIKENKAI & Gameoson! But really, is anybody surprised that DDRDAIKENKAI has won another round ZIv Academy?
Taking 2nd Place with 54 Points is... AIMAI mind, by Daffa212162 & vincentw!
Taking 3rd Place with 45 Points is... Sunset Drive (Summer FestaMix), by 5l1n65h07 & dj VERTICAI! ...Unfortunately, 5l1n65h07 forgot to vote, so I guess only dj VERTICAI gets points out of this one. Sorry about that.
Check out the full (and hopefully final) results here

File was submitted last night, just making this post now for some notes about the file.
I kinda whipped this one up real fast (only took me like 2 hours to get the steps done), but trust me, I've had

Generic graphics for now, but I'll try and make some by tomorrow night.

Thus was uploaded a couple days ago, just giving a brief description.
I've been wanting to step this for awhile now. This was submitted to [Chordophones] by DDRDAIKENKAI back in SC15, I believe.
I spent a lot of time on the sync, because it wasnt up to my standards, hopefully it's acceptable.
There's a chart in
, please ignore it, unless you want to play the chart I used to sync the song. (Some of it is just 4th notes)

Example of invalid entry:
8 -eight- - Tom-H@ck feat.Nadia (8 is a digit and wasn't a letter, so nope)
Agadoo - Black Lace
オラリオン - やなぎなぎ (The title are romanized as Orarion and it qualified since the first letter are start with O)
Example of invalid entry:
8 -eight- - Tom-H@ck feat.Nadia (8 is a digit and wasn't a letter, so nope)

Oh boy. Last week. And with 6 points on the leaderboard (so far. also thanks to those who voted for Kick Drums & Red Wine). Wonder how much will I need to get enough for the VIP Room. Well, let's find out that if I end up getting a hat trick 0 points get enough to make it in.

I was wondering how long before a LOOΠΔ song shows up in the contest (or on this site). Well, might as well be the first to do so.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to tag the artist for a LOOΠΔ song.

Started the SC with some Cannon Ballers with The Chase, might as well end the normal section with some Cannon Ballers as well.
A 20th anniversary remix of a beatmania classic. Since this is a classic tune with a modern twist, I decided to make the chart very old school like by adding no holds and making it a little jumpy. Also had to name the file "OD*20" since ZIv doesn't like you naming your file with "/s" in them. If you have any issues with the file not working because of file name, let me know and I'll fix it asap.

I AM SO SICK OF WORKING ON THIS FILE OMG
Yeah, so, I've been working on this doozy since the first time I ever heard the song last year. I DID plan on buying the skeleton and finishing up my file during Simfile Tycoon... of course Cuzco outbid me at the last second, I got a song I wasn't terribly happy with, I vetoed it and got a song I reeeeeally wasn't happy with. C'est la vie.
I still fully planned on finishing ESM at some point. It just became one of those files where I would become extremely obsessed over every little detail. "No that gimmick is stupid, no this pattern sucks, no why the hell do I even bother anyway, I quit" I just wasn't satisfied with anything. I'm still not entirely satisfied tbh, I'm just really really sick of working on this file after working on it for what feels like 573 years so enjoy I guess *shrug*

7/12/18 EDIT: The BG video should actually play now. See, this is what happens when I try to upload stuff when I'm tired.

Lots to cover, so bear with me! We'll start by talking about the submission.
First of all, curse you @K-Step cuz I was literally planning to step EILY as soon as the theme was announced LOL. In any case, I was wondering the same as you and wanted to see some LOOΠΔ submissions, so while I did want to step EILY, Egoist was a fun choice as well.
As for the simfile itself, it is one of my personal favorite submissions of mine. Maybe I'm biased because I fucking love LOOΠΔ, but I really do love this submission. On a superficial level, I really love the graphics I made for this (banner and background), and the MV cut includes my favorite scenes from the MV (which is frickin gorgeous AS ALL LOOΠΔ MVS ARE DAMMIT). For the charts, specifically
![Heavy](../emoticons/icon_heavy.gif)
All that said, while I really love what I'm presenting, the reason I'm submitting this now and not for VIP Room is because I don't think this will perform well contest-wise and would do me no good in the VIP Room. The biggest reason for that is the difficulty of this submission. While I have rated
![Heavy](../emoticons/icon_heavy.gif)
![Heavy](../emoticons/icon_heavy.gif)
I guess what I'm trying to say here is I keep seeing a lot of the same old, same old when it comes to these contests nowadays, and it's kinda disappointing and tiring. Playing through files has become more an more of a drag because I feel like I'm playing the same charts over and over again. That's why as of late, my votes have been almost dependent on song choice, and its frustrating to have to divvy up 15 points when I feel like no one is offering something new.
While I have my gripes with the VIP Room format, what I do like about it is if you qualify early enough, you have the liberty to experiment with your files; step a genre you haven't stepped in a while or ever, stepping difficulties you're not used to, integrating patterns that are rare to your stepping style. If it flops, it doesn't matter in the end because you're already qualified for the VIP room. In the weeks that I've participated, I really haven't seen much of that, and even though we've reached the end of the road of the themed weeks, I hope that we see a shift in what we see worthy of submitting or voting for.
OK, that's all I've got right now. I've been meaning to have a meaningful dialogue about this for a while, so I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on the matter. Also, sorry if I came across as a pretentious snob in any of that, it's just something that's been on my mind for a while.
Final notes:
- My file for The Gangnam Avenue has been updated with graphics. I also removed the Edit file from the .SM since, again, it was the exact same as
![Heavy](../emoticons/icon_heavy.gif)
- I will probably stream [Deja Vu] reviews either tomorrow around noon (CST) or Saturday afternoon. Either way, I'll post before I go live if you care to join.

I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow so I’ll keep this brief: I liked the song and made a cut a while back, never got around to finishing it, then found it in my folder and noticed it fit the theme so I said what the heck and did it.

((And yes, this is the second week in a row I’ve stepped something space related. Sue me.))
