Back to Love is DDR Addict's file, not mine.
That mistake was brought on by me checking the file's page and checking the "last uploaded by" section. It said your name so I went with that and I didn't read the description because lazy and stuff. Sorry, bro.

Quick comments (for doubles charts only):

Back to Love - Normally, I would approve of charts like this, but in the context of this song, I don't really think that much complexity is necessary here. Listening to the song by itself, I couldn't imagine the Heavy chart being any higher than a 6. The only chart I really liked was Light, since it was the only chart that was interesting and didn't completely follow the vocals.

Crystallized - Are all those wide transitions in Challenge really necessary? I'll give you credit for trying to bring step variety into this song, although I don't see myself dancing to it and the steps don't really help either. The song choice took away the fun for me from the very beginning.

Garakuta Doll Play - I have no idea what to say about this song, really. Nothing about it screams anything exciting or fun to me.

Hypersonik - This song has been in my WIP folder for some time now, although it hasn't really been on top of my priority list and so progress has been pretty slow for me. I was actually looking forward to this song the most, although I felt disappointed in the end more than anything. The charts are still decent and interesting overall, but most of the time, the fun factor wasn't really there for me. Personally, I feel like I can make better charts for this song given enough time, but obvious bias is obvious.

MAD HEAD LOVE - IMO best and most fun simfile this round, without a doubt. Light and Standard are absolutely flawless. Heavy might have went a little overboard with the pad transitions, I think, especially at 212 BPM, but the chart's still awesome regardless.

The Sealer ~ア・ミリアとミリアの民~ - The song and graphics are just asking for flow and grace in the steps, and for the most part, the charts delivered that well. Some of the quick pad transitions in Heavy might have broken the flow a little, I think, but not too much. I would also appreciate it if you changed the time signature to match the song as well, but that's just a small gripe of mine.

Tricky Disco - Light and Standard are pretty fun, Heavy not so much. Why bother with rolls when you just replaced them with normal jacks in the Challenge charts? The Challenge chart is much better, although I feel like there is more room for improvement and experimentation here as well.


Quote: Spork!
Oboro [ledgam3r1279] - Hyped for this, a song I actually know. Sample is a good length and though the banner is all kinds of basic it's clean. Heavy was great, minus a few transitions between M27 and M34 that were identical and awkward. M59 really threw me through a loop as well until I played it again, that's just an awkward position to put somene in. Like Telperion said with his review of my chart - Copy+Paste is good, just switch it up a little here and there to make it less obvious. With Standard, the crossovers and sheer arrow density at some points really push this to a 6, but it's sound patternwise. The same came be said with Light - It's a little bit tougher than you rated it due to crossovers.

IMO copy+paste works just fine if done well, but I did employ some "mirror" methods here too (both in the DDR sense of the word and in the actual sense of the word). Also, I prefer the X-scale for the reasons you described.

i was doing it on 3.9 so changing time signatures is out of my reach (i believe it was supported with the .sm file format? since IIRC SM4 has that) but thank you for the feedback everyone!

@Spork!: it was nearing the deadline and i was too lazy to go over to photoshop because it's so slow so i just cropped the damn thing lmao

SM doesn't even support changing time signatures anymore. I don't remember which version of SM5 it was when they removed it but it's not in any recent builds.

It was a pretty pointless feature since you'd only notice it in the editor anyways.

Well, that's a bummer; I can't believe I didn't notice that until now. I have version 5.0.5 at the moment.

EDIT: Actually, I can still edit the time signature directly from the .ssc file, but .sm files don't seem to have them regardless.

Oh yeah, they totally do have to. I have SO much fun swinging back and forth for the crossovers, and the stretches are not that bad either (then again I'm 6'3" and have mainly played doubles for the last 6 years so it's what I mainly know). I swear it flows amazingly if you can get into the song itself and listen to all the subtle energies. I personally hear way more energy in this song than most I guess, my personal interpretation of the music is of course going to be different then others, especially if the music choice in question isn't enjoyed as thoroughly. I originally actually wanted to make the ending a long 16th run to go with the trill in the synth accompanying his vocals, I'd hope this would be a fair replacement compared to that xD I just always ask for fair consideration even if the song isn't to your personal tastes - I found gold in this pack alone hidden in songs I couldn't stomach.

Oh, I totally agree. I used it in my charts this week, and just about EVERYONE else did too. I only really even noticed it in yours because the transition itself just felt really out of place and then it happened again almost immediately after. It is still a strong file, don't worry.

ROFL, love it. At least you're honest and straightforward.

Quote: Telpersion
Crystallized: (DX) Remember, copy+paste+mirror is a great tool, but you should disguise it a little! Switch ups and downs, or change the patterns slightly. Lots of ambiguous jumps (L+R followed by U or D). Notes missing at beats 207.250/207.750. (DH) The triplet rhythm in beats 182-184 is slow enough to be stepped accurately and not throw off the chart.
Same as ledgam3r said, I totally did employ a mirror technique. I figure - musically it's not too different, and the pattern I used I had fun with going one direction, so why not? Yeah, it's noticible, but again, I think I saw 2/3 charts altogether done in the doubles without ANY obvious copy/paste somewhere, and I played every difficulty. I totally thought I'd switched them up a little more than I actually did, so sorry about that.
If you mean the three L+R jumps in M9,11, and 13, all three of them have the arrow afterwards as an inner panel, meaning unless you're reading the song at a really high rate should be VERY easy to notice and set yourself up for. If you want, consider all three jumps to have a freeze on the outer arrow (1PL, 2PR) - that will make you face forward for the following pattern each time without any awkward stepping/placement. If you mean the jumps in the slowdown - again, they're set up to make you face forward.
The missing notes were left out intentionally to further separate it from Singles as it's own unique chart. Having the full drumroll in arrows really detracts from the rest of the patterns used imo, so even though they are technically right, it's just out of place for the rest of the chart. That being said, this recommendation is totally included in Singles Big Grin

I feel as if maybe a few more jumps could have been thrown in, but that's just personal taste.

Well, you shall be overly satisfied with the Single Expert charts, I hope. There might actually be too many jumps there, lol.

Thank you so much, ddrstepper! I'm so relieved that I won't be going out with no points.
I reviewed everyone on Singles! All 27 of them!
Overall, the qualifier round is so damn fierce. Almost everyone did great files!

Judging method:

- songs are judged in a random order
- two to three criteria:
aaa+ Expert chart in general
aaa- penalties on light charts / miscellaneous aspects:
aaaaaa- doublesteps
aaaaaa- ambiguous starts / jumps
aaaaaa- sync issues
aaaaaa- incorrect rhythms
aaaaaa- etc
aaa+ Challenge, if any (can take away points if it's really really bad)
- ties are determined by the score on Expert
- honourable mentions: 6th to 10th place

Scroll down for the reviews (alphabetical order).


A Thousand Leagues Below (MMX Remix) [Scarz]
Around 50ms off (-.800 -> -.750).
Why the split timing? It messes up the timing in Light and Standard.
Heavy is good. Song is pretty short, tho.

Act III [xXMokou98Xx]
I love your Challenge, so much fun! Nice song, too.

Air-Reading Power [tsugaru7reveng]
Some ambiguity on the beginning of pretty much all four charts. Heavy is great though.

Back to Love [DDR Addict]
I totally thought that this was a chewi file. Not in a bad way, of course.
Might want to check if you accidentally put doublesteps, I found a few.
Heavy is good and simple.

Chronoxia [TaroNuke]
Quite streamy. Also you treat freezes differently than what I've seen in most files: you used the same foot as the one not holding an arrow as the one with which your very next arrow is to be hit. It's all good, though.
Both Heavy and Challenge are amazing!

Crystallized [Spork!]
Nice song.
I find it interesting that you used .75x BPM for the slowdown. It's like the arrows are being slowed to .25x (looking by the colours of the arrows) but expanded 3x.

…yeeeaaah. Hope that makes sense.

So many jumps on Challenge. They're great, though.

DIAVOLO [Oni-91]
Be careful of ambiguous steps, like L-R jump followed by U or D (but something like your Challenge is fine).
Expert is excellent.
Beat 187 on Challenge could be misleading. I'd step that with my right foot since I would've just stepped a jack with my left, but some could step it with their left foot since L is closer to U than D. But it's very nice otherwise!

Do Back Burn [Gameoson]
For a song with the word "burn" in it… that is a pretty bright set of graphics.
Challenge made me pretty happy. Excellent as usual!

DOODAH! (K.O.G. Re-edit) [Lisek]
The tune to this song makes me so happy!
Heavy is simply great. Would like a Challenge chart though, but that's just me.

Espada (Alonso Montero Remix) [DDRDAIKENKAI]
I think it's around 25ms off (-.02 -> +.005).
…I don't really have much to say besides great job.

Fubuki [Loodee]
I wonder why the final freezes differ from EXP to CHA, but it's a teeny tiny nitpick. Fantastic job!

Garakuta Doll Play [mf32892]
Nice crossovers, but some are quite awkward.
Beats 276~280 is kinda awkward. It told the player to spin in the opposite direction of the one in the previous measure.
Another awkward one at beat 400. And 432.
Wow, you really like that sort of pattern, huh…

美人計 [chewi]
It's okay, but I saw some inconsistencies in the first three measures of Heavy. Sometimes the next arrow after the freeze is stepped with the one not holding, sometimes it's the opposite.

Hypersonik [Pandemonium X]
Superb song!
Some doublesteps on the lower charts.
Careful on the U+D jump near the start of Standard and Heavy. People's preferences may differ from one another as to which foot hits which arrow, in the case of U+D jumps.
Heavy is amazing.

I Took a Little Something [Pie-kun]
Tune is neat.
Heavy is neat, too.
Pills.

Insane Techniques [King_Mew]
Umm… what's wrong with just 146 BPM from start to finish?
I think the difficulty of the lower charts should be bumped up, considering the difficulty from the effects. Effects are great btw.
I don't think the novice players will enjoy so many crossovers, but at least they're not awkward.
Be careful if you start a simfile with U/D, could be ambiguous. Hypersonik BAS is a good example.
I couldn't tell if the backstep in beat 92 (EXP) is intentional or not. It does work out, but it's pretty awkward.
The rest of the chart is pretty solid.

Just Be Friends [CuzcoBlocko]
Chart is missing. Aww, would have been excited to see what you have done.

LET THERE BE LOVE [hooky]
Pretty good, the music has some nice beats and they are translated well into the stepchart.

MAD HEAD LOVE [brunobg24]
Great song! And Heavy is so much fun!

Music [Astroman129]
I think you've set the music back around 30ms too much (-6.007 -> -5.977).
I don't expect much by the music, but the steps are much, much better that I'd imagined! Great one!

ONE [tamtamino]
Be careful of ambiguous jumps. L+R followed by U or D can be misleading and cause doublesteps.
I lol'd at 48 consecutive Ls (Light, Standard in particular). Clever, though, and fits the track well, but can be a bit lazy on the higher charts.
Expecting 16ths but the charts are already good without it.

Run&Run [SoulEdge5000]
Welcome to the simfiling world of Z-I-v! Don't be shy to ask for feedback.
BPM is a bit off, even checking at MixMeister (which is good for giving rough estimates) reveals a flat 128.
Pay attention to the video name. Video is fun btw.
Also, offset. -.052 would do this simfile justice.
Expert chart feels empty. I glanced Challenge and was pumped at first, but… the 16ths feel like they're just there to bump up the difficulty. It would have been nice if it follows the music more closely, especially because the song is so much fun.
Cheer up. It can only get better from here.

Sadistic.Music∞Factory [Spirit of Nightmare]
Be careful of ambiguous jumps.
Heavy is good, but feel repetitive at times. I noticed on the 12th section that you used the same pattern 4 times. Vary a bit.
Challenge: OMG a 13. It lives up to its name: sadistic; but it's not bad. I almost thought you'd put a full 24th run on that last part before the freeze. Although, from beats 172~204, I can't hear what you're trying to emphasise with the jumps. Help me out a bit?
I was expecting BPM changes with this, to be honest. It fits well with the song imo.

上海紅茶館~Chinese Tea Orchid Remix [CLOUDIO]
Challenge has the correct rhythm for the first 2 measures, why differ them in Light and Standard?
Heavy is wonderful. I'm serious. I think this is your best file to date!
But, um… no crossovers? None? At all?

ok.

脳漿炸裂ガール (DIVELA REMIX) [ddrstepper]
Had lots of expectation. Was not disappointed. Amazingly well done! Music is great, too.

Take Me Out [darkanine]
Doublesteps on lower charts, be careful.
Song is pretty neat.
Expert's ending is BRUTAL. Probably the only reason the chart is rated a 10.
Challenge is good. Also yay scrolls!

The Sealer ~ア・ミリアとミリアの民~ [Silverhawke]
Some ambiguity and doublesteps in the easier charts, watch out.
Good, quirky tune. Steps did justice to the song. Nice work.

Wanyo Wanyo [Cowtao]
It's 25ms off (-.400 -> -.375), and the last stop lacks 25ms (.85 -> .875), which means only for the last 2 seconds is your chart actually in sync.
Loads of doublesteps, watch out.
Also, remember to put artist name in the simfile.
I don't think the 2nd and 3rd stop is necessary, but it's just down to personal taste.

Favourite tunes:
1. Hypersonik / Eagle
2. MAD HEAD LOVE / 米津玄師
3. 脳漿炸裂ガール (DIVELA REMIX) / れるりり feat. 鏡音リン、 鏡音レン

tl;dr:

+5: Fubuki [Loodee]
+4: Chronoxia [TaroNuke]
+3: Do Back Burn [Gameoson]
+2: Crystallized [Spork!]
+1: 脳漿炸裂ガール (DIVELA REMIX) [ddrstepper]

- MAD HEAD LOVE [brunobg24]
- I Took a Little Something [Pie-kun]
- DIAVOLO [Oni-91]

Since I notice I'm still not added to the category, may I please request that it be done so soon?

Also, been too busy/sick to do intelligible critique this week, sorry.

It's okay, but I saw some inconsistencies in the first three measures of Heavy. Sometimes the next arrow after the freeze is stepped with the one not holding, sometimes it's the opposite.
Thanks, I'll tweak it.

Voting time finally. There were a lot of good files this week and as we can only vote for five songs, I've added a bunch of honorable mentions as well. Just because your file may be near the bottom doesn't mean it's bad, of course. Message me if you want more specific criticism on your chart, though I can't promise to get back to you in a reasonable time frame. This week's going to be pretty busy.

I'm sorry, I couldn't come up with something good in time, and I WOULD have improved it during the voting (as well as vote myself), but then I got sick...so that was a no go.

Thank you so much, ddrstepper! I'm so relieved that I won't be going out with no points.

Promenade actually would have gotten points from me as well if it weren't for the scroll rate gimmicks at the end. They hurt the file a lot, which is a shame because everything else was great. It's still a good file, but if I play it again I'll be playing with a cmod.

p.s. Anyone that wants me to review their file at any point during the tournament is more than welcome to PM me and I'll get to it whenever I can.

Around 50ms off (-.800 -> -.750).
Why the split timing? It messes up the timing in Light and Standard.
Heavy is good. Song is pretty short, tho.
It was the crappy laptop I had to use as a last resort haha Laughing HardVery Happy Im personally embarrassed by it but ill make up for it next time as I got a new charger in on Thursday!
