Done. Contains MMD video by KUMA8. You can watch it full here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jJsYbVBnaE

Shouldn't it be time to vote now...?

---

Let me get this straight, so files-uploading time goes from Monday 5PM UTC to Saturday 5PM UTC? And voting goes from Saturday 5PM UTC to Monday 5PM UTC the next day?

---

yes and it is voting time.

---

but it's not Saturday 5PM UTC yet.

Windy Fairy
Wow, that was awesome. A couple of bits felt a bit awkward, (namely 12ths+8thjacks section, I delibarately avoided doing something like this in my SIN file), and also that speed change is le asshole. Additionally, beat 115 and beat 139 are a TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE of counter-intuitive ambiguous next step for people who are right-handed like me, lol. I would have turned e.g. the left arrow at beat 114 into a little hold (or maybe one that lasted until beat 115?), that way you can guarantee the correct foot hits the next arrow to continue the song, because even after playing it twice I still thought "what am I supposed to do here?" until I looked at it in the editor.

Negative Legacy
Hey, I have to hand it to you, you came up with some pretty creative ways to make steps not be ambiguous, lol. Fun file, awesome song. Maybe this is a 9, it's a little reminiscent of DEAD END. I dig the crossover run near the end, and the interesting rhythms of the song.

Fuu Furotsu
Awesome song.
This is a pretty interesting chart. It's very pitch relevant in a really interesting way. I don't think those spins are fit for human consumption, though. Also beat 274 is weird because it feels like it should be a footswitch because it's RDDL, even though it's not. That's just me though, not your fault
Holy fucking shit is this a good file (mostly the 2nd half). I didn't like the oversimplified 8ths parts, though (you're right, they do feel a little rushed). There are parts of this I like more than the , but there are parts of the I like more. All in all this file was amazing though, wow.

WILD RUSH
I don't really have too much to say about this, it wasn't bad.

Go Go Carlito
It's actually really similar to WILD RUSH steps wise, which I didn't really expect. It's a bit better in most places, but sometimes I found myself facing the same way for a little too long at a time.

Re-union
Also a good, well rounded file. I don't really have much to say about it, but I liked the hold+up arrows part. There are some odd choices regarding not having the patterning be symmetrical, and some rhythms that seem to be there just for the purpose of making it hard to FA. I guess you couldn't have done something else to make it more interesting though, as the song DOES get a bit repetitive :{

I honestly don't know what to do with you two. Some of the rhythm choices in Re-union's 1--a2-+-3e--4 parts didn't make a whole lot of sense and the charts in general seemed a bit aimless (song's fault?) However, I'm sort of annoyed that these charts for Windy Fairy are dead on karaoke when there's so much more rhythmic interest to bring out, and there's nothing like deducing copy/paste-mirror by using the wrong foot mistake twice in a row but in the opposite direction lol
This isn't a fair pairing

I feel like I just played the same song twice wtf
Table tips to GariK+ for the more interesting patterns.

[xXMokou98Xx] ToyCube Pf. (RX-Ver.S.P.L.) - 1

SIN had a much more polished idea of where it was headed, and while ToyCube wasn't haphazard, the ties between repeated musical elements were weaker. Both are good. I think SIN is just a bit better.

[Lisek] Go Go Carlito - 4

WILD RUSH was not bad, but not especially exciting, either. Go Go Carlito faced left for 90% of the song, but the file had great presentation.


Favorite of the week: SIN


~* CHECKIN' UR DUBZ *~ you know how we do(◕‿◕✿) ~*

From "needs most work" to "solid platinum or thereabouts":

Re-union DH: A lot of the rhythms in the main upbeat portion, like I mentioned in my pair review, are somewhat confusing and I'm not sure I'm a fan. Some missing (beat 99.5) or misplaced (beat 178.5) 8th notes. Going from 1U to 2D around beat 80 is not very easy or readable because of how far the foot has to swing without cues. Overall, though, it's not bad. The crossover frequency reminds me of a lot of official DDR charts, but at some point it would be good to consider pad-to-pad transitions that aren't the Holic method.
フー・フローツ DX: Wow, I don't really have much to say about this chart. I did notice that when you cross through the center, you tend to pick left-facing patterns most often (2L-1R-1U, 1R-2U-2L, etc.) and that can influence the directionality of a chart as much as left- or right-facing bias in single.
Windy Fairy DH: I have one major complaint with this chart (and the single chart, too, but it's 10x more obvious on double so I'll point it out here). You make use of copy/paste-mirror, which is good - but then you have no differentiation between passages of the music without a percussion line versus the repeat with. Best example is probably b12-36 vs. b36-60. It's hard to get into the chart when you hear the music change but in the back of your head you're thinking "oh wait I just did this". I just feel like you're following all the less important parts of the music too faithfully. Other than that, the chart's good. I mean, these patterns are pretty darn fun! I even like the M.Simmons at b114/b138; please tell me you didn't throw that in just for me. Nitpicks here and there. A lot of sixteenths that you don't need, making the chart artificially harder than it needs to be (a solid 9 would have been dandy). Whoa there, beat 78. The x--x--x- patterns starting at b156 were very wat until I realized you were trying to bring out the piano?!
SIN DH: Easy on the turny bits there, Ama-tan, jeez. Personally I enjoy those patterns immensely, but I know they won't go over quite as well with most players, so depending on your audience you may want to tone it down. Super important nitpick about b270.5: that is some KIMONO♡PRINCESS shit going down there bruv, thank you, oppa gangnam style. Other than that, I really like this chart. Cute touches with the mines.
