If you downloaded it before I posted this, DELETE THE OGG, then redownload.

Man all these male vocalists all over the place. Let's get some male vocal samples up in this party.

EDIT: There was a slight problem with some changes I made to the chart not being saved. These have been fixed. If you downloaded the song already please redownload it. Thank you.

i'd like to sign up please.

Woke up this morning and decided I should probably finish my files. In all honesty, if I get any votes this week or any week, I will be satisfied. So without further ado...

So I made reviews for the five files I currently have for my top 5 this week (not in any order) after playing through the massive number of submissions. There's still a day left so this isn't my final list yet.

Danger & Danger
- Heavy I would've liked to see something more with the male vocals rather than the 8th jumps (the 8th jumps would be fine in standard and light).
- Standard was much better than the heavy chart. I'd much rather play it over heavy; good emphasis on the melody and it's much easier to follow (friendlier to the player).
- Light was also good. Just the holds section I considered a bit questionable since a newer player could easily turn into a pretzel on that but it doesn't hurt the file
- I'll definitely say Cranky has good songs for DDR type steps haha

Red Sun
- Only concern I have in heavy is the last 5 steps since there's an extra 16th note there (or it is barely audible). The 16th trill reminded me of Super Star haha.
- I liked standard more than heavy. The emphasis on the male vocals was more prominent but the turns were kind of extreme in places.
- Light was great too but the one crossover part stands out like a sore thumb.

Wow Wow VENUS
- Those turns in heavy were very enjoyable. Main quip I have are the crossovers where you need to double step in order to start crossed over and do them properly but other than that it was very solid
- Standard could have been more player-friendly. Lots of candles and spaced out patterns where it's easy to step on the wrong foot
- Light could also be more player-friendly. Considering this is light I doubt any newer player at this level would even attempt doing a crossover. Every person I'd had play light mode always double stepped them; for light it's better to have patterns that are easier to follow and less candle steps

Speedy Speed Boy
- Questionable transitioning in some of the holds but heavy was very enjoyable. Song reminds me of Wheelpower & Go but without the fast guitar hero solos
- Standard has this weird thing going on where some of the crossovers work out but then there are weird turns you'd have to do to not double step them. The player will be much more appreciative if the turns are easier to follow and there doesn't need to be a lot of double stepping
- For light the crossovers should be removed and the double steps as well. Light should reduce turning because a player doing light mode is most likely not an experienced player and I don't support them doublestepping a lot of complex turns.
- Heavy was solid and the speedup from the slowdown isn't ambiguous. The slowdown was a good addition to this file.

Something Better
- Holy turns in Heavy. At this speed a player can just double step them but I actually like playing patterns the way they're supposed to be done. It's a good thing this song is at a slow pace.
- Standard was very nice. Heavy could've been better if the turns weren't as extreme.
- For Light I recommend making the turns easier to follow and removing the crossovers. Even though someone can just double step the entire thing I don't like the idea of newer players doing a lot of double steps if they see crossovers or spins.
- I have to say this song was a nice break from the other songs with its calm atmosphere.

alriiiiiiiight there are now 45 simfiles for this round let's keep those reviews coming


Song hails from O2JAM; the sound file's unfortunately LQ-ish because it's all I could find.
I probably overestimated each difficulty due to the low BPM but it's all numbers anyway

Holy shet there's a lot of entries.

Pandy, can I suggest that on Monday you generate a pack for all these files? I downloaded most of them but there have been revisions and stuff and I've completely lost track, and I'm sure I'm not the only one haha! Plus downloading them all individually again would be a right pain! D:

I've made a couple of changes to the .sm/.ssc file. I forgot to fix up some things before I submitted it ( was made at 5:30 AM), so I corrected the issues I spotted. The chart should be a little more symmetrical than before.

If you have downloaded the ZIP already, please re-download for current version.

Bring it on, Blinded.
also a reminder to pm me if you will want a review at the end of the week

This contest got larger than expected O_O

Okay, updated mine (fixed the hyphens in the file)... i'll just wait for the full pack to be generated to get the rest.
