Z-I-v Summer Contest 2015 [Back to school, kiddies, the contest is over.]

Didn't have access to my computer for most of this week so no Week 2 file for me. Votes should be coming in soon, however.

---

---

Skipping week 2 because I have no ideas for mother nature songs.... but I will vote week 2 though, and I will step week 3 if I can.

A quick question:
Does something like "Nature (etc Remix)" allowed? I'm pretty stuck at chosing songs....

EDIT: Nevermind, I just got something to step. But an answer would be appreciated....

---

that's allowed.

---

Humbly requesting that next year's contest goes back to the 1 song per round rule
Reviewing this many files is a bit above my level and trying to spread 15 points over 40+ files is a pain in the hole of my backside (~:

+4 Onigami
Solid and fun file, gj!
+4 Dough-Nuts Town's map
Also a solid and fun file, gj!
+3 Gekiai Merry-Go-Round
Song is alright, steps are good.
+3 Generation (Ahzee Remix)
Solid file, if a little bit repetitive.
+1 glaica
Had a hard time trying to decide on the extra 1 point here, but glacia was neat

I'd like to give HM's, but that would make like 10+ songs, so I'll pass on that for this round.

I personally don't really mind either way whether we do two or one files per week, but I will agree that trying to spread 15 points over 40+ files is really tough. You either give very few points to a lot of files, or you give a bunch of points to a few files and have a giant list of honorable mentions that really deserve more points.

---

I agree that this week is so difficult to give points to. I think most of my votes are going to end up being +2's and +1's.
I feel that after the first week or two, though, the submissions will start to become less and less. Already, there's fewer files to judge than last week. Hopefully, it stays this way, with maybe 15-20 simfiles.
Anyways, here's my first (and possibly only) file for this week's theme.


This took a while. I've been revising these charts, trying to pick the best rhythms for this song, for most of this week. Originally, was meant to be but then I decided to create an intermediate chart bridging the difficulty gap between and the 10 It's been a lot of tweaking and changing things and I think this is as good as it's going to be. I hope you guys like this! I'm starting to like the song a lot.


Thanks for all the votes guys!
I'll get my votes in eventually...

---

Just found out yesterday that this song is actually cool lol. Pretty hard to step actually, but better than nothing right? There was a challenge here, but I remove it since it's pretty random well the Expert are kind of random too. Anyway, hope you like it. Graphics being so boring, since I'm editing it in the midnight maybe will get a new graphic, hopefully

Actually I agree with this. Even I got stuck at giving votes back then. Well, it kinds of reminds me with some years before with 3 files MAX and there's like 100+ files to review.

---

Voting time yay. This is the order in which I enjoyed the files, not necessarily the order of the quality of the files. As always feel free to PM me if you want critiques. For those of you who I've promised critiques, I'll try to have them out in the next week or so.

Your votes lack 2 points. Please fix, thanks.

@Astroman I think you're missing some points.
5+3+3+1+1= 13 points.
Also, I don't see Hella Good on your list either.

---

Oops! Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. And Hella Good is definitely on the list.

EDIT: NOW Hella Good is on the list.

I will upload another song later, I have to finish the lower charts. Votes for week 1 coming too.

No second file from me this week again. I'm happy with my one, and I can't really find much more I can do other than like Fury of the Storm.

VOTES:
+3 Hella Good
+3 So Sorry
+2 Brother (You took a chance, and it paid off. Great chart)
+2 Ra'am
+2 鬼天
+2 アスカBad Girl (w/Lancaster) (Basic but really fun)
+1 Shut Up And Dance (minus no thread post and a dreadfully off offset this wasn't horrid)

For those who don't know, the title literally means "spring chrysanthemum" (so it definitely fits the theme).
