Z-I-v Summer Contest 2018

It’s 1 PM! Hope to see Round 2’s results and Round 3’s theme!

---

Tried to get my song in, but that last challenge was not good with any of the songs I picked. I am in the middle of making art for my chart, but whatever.

Alright so two quick notes:
1) Yes, I am aware that the correct artist name is BEMANI Sound Team "PHQUASE vs DJ TOTTO", however I believe that it's an insult to the artists of the song and I am not a fan of the clunky BST crap, so I removed it.
2) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: This file contains 5 different audio files, one for each difficulty and one that is completely unaltered. If you are using SM5 I strongly urge you to download the Custom ZIP instead of the regular one. This is how you will get the full experience of this file, as each difficulty will have different cues in the "LISTEN" and "ONE MORE SET" sections of the song. If you are using SM3.9 or would just rather play it without these cues (which I don't reccomend) you can just download the ZIP.
tl;dr the Custom ZIP is the file that is meant to be played.

Enjoy, I put a lot of effort into this one.

Pandy's putting together the Round 1 results right now. As for Round 3's theme...


- I almost considered renaming this week [The Zoo Zone] in reference to a certain Round 1 entry, but I had it as [Zoology] first. Props to djVERTICAI for accidentally guessing Week 3's theme.
- The song title or song artist must contain a kind of animal in their name. Pretty straightforward theme, but let's clarify things as much as possible anyway.
- You can use as broad or as specific of an animal name as you want. You can be as generic as "mammal" and "reptile", or as specific as "pink fairy armadillo" and "red-lipped batfish". That being said, I want to see kinds of animals - Just the word “animal” will not count.
- Extinct animals are allowed, so feel free to step songs or artists with "dinosaur" in their name.
- Scientific names also count, so something like "Megalara Garuda" would be okay.
- Fictional animals do not count. No Pokemon and no dragons. (Although "komodo dragon" would be fine since that's the name of a real-life animal.)
- Words within words do not count. "Schrodinger's Cat" is okay. "Cozy Catastrophe" is not. Don't cheese the theme.
*anxiously waits for DigitalBasic to find another fitting song with cheese in its name*

EDIT:
- Just to clarify the "words within words" rule: it's really only to stop people from using non-animal words like "catastrophe" and saying "It's got cat in it, so it's okay". Something like "snakebite" is still okay since it's still directly related to animals. I'll even allow you to step songs by Foxsky since he clearly got his name from foxes.
- Foreign languages are fine, too.

Let's get going, shall we?



Barely uploaded this in time. It only has one chart, so hopefully you think it is a good one

---

I have an artist by the name of "Horsey". Still count?

SAFE!


Anyway votes are being tallied and should be up soon.

---

Aww, this means I can't step the globglogabgalab? :(



I might be able to slip into this week, it depends on if this ambiguous song choice qualifies or if I can find something by skimming Super Monkey Ball compilations (as I did with some of my favorite songs of all time :P). We'll see.

Since "horsey" is often used as baby talk for "horse", I'll allow it.


Sure, you can step the globglogabgagagaohhlalabalag. Just not for this contest.

Hmm, did much worse than I expected. I wonder why...
If you want, please critique my file. I’d like to know what I did wrong so I can improve for future rounds.
But oh well, props to everyone else for doing well...!

Round 2 Files (with videos)
This doesn't include The Five from rapidemboar since there is nothing to download, not sure what happened.

---

Writing a review for you right now. Expect a PM soon.

Anyone else that wants me to take a look at their files is more than welcome to PM me for a review.

---

Can the animal name be in a foreign language? One of my WIP files contains the Chinese word for “duck” in its title.

---

Yeah, foreign languages are fine.

---

omg thanks everyone!!!

Fixed a vote since Spork! didn't vote. Everything should be fixed up.

---

Yeah, I got home like an hour ago from camping and hadn't played through everything. I'd rather not BS some votes so I didn't vote. I'm happy to get the votes I did, though. Thanks everyone It means a lot <3

Hah, well looky thar, Gameoson--what are the odds on that theme? Now to peruse the music bank for weird animals, since apparently I have to actually try from now on because WTF--



FINALLY I got a file that scores. And it's especially great that it's one that I've had in my back pocket for the longest time, and was still decent enough to get votes. Thanks everyone, and I'mma get you next time, ohaiimiannnn! (...Though we traded 3 and 3 here, so it's all good~)

I really liked your file djVERTICAI!
