Z-I-v Simfile Shuffle 2015 — thank you for playing!

I don't even know what the heck Jumper was. That file was just beyond messy and incomprehensible and offbeat and just all sorts of wrong. A real shame too because I really like that song.

Junko I know you like boss songs, but not every song is destined to be a 13.

BEAT-NEW-WORLD

The song's okay, but the chart is a little....overstepped. :/ Could be a tiny bit looser.



The song is cool, and the chart was pretty fun too. I actually full combo'd it in one go (most of the others, this isn't the case because of bullshit goods).



The song is pretty catchy and I accidentally know about it through background usage. I like this submission because it's like, easy (the chart only has 192 arrows) but not as boring to play as one would think.



Song is just okay. The chart looks really fun, but I keep failing at it.... Oh well. Still good.



This song is AWESOME. The chart also follows it really well. In fact, the only reason I didn't sightread fullcombo it is because the stops caught me off-guard (and they follow the song well).



The song is cool, and the steps are REALLY well done. I'll want to play this again some other time. Very good work, marten.



The stepchart is also really well done. I think I'll attempt this one again as I got two bullshit goods on it. I like how it makes you twist around with all of the crossovers (like I did with Seedy Try).



Sota Fujimori is awesome AGAIN! This song is so cartoony and complex at the same time, and both stepcharts were fun to play, even more so with the chart.

Jumper

groovin's polar opposite. The song is pretty cool. The charts? Terrible. Like, did you test this file before submitting it? It's a mess that goes off-beat in numerous places and the stream at the second half is horrible. I'm lucky I passed this. I tried turning to the and even the charts in hopes that they'd be betetr, but not even they could redeem this JUST because of the off-beat problems. You can't make off-beat notes look like on-beat notes! .__.

Please make simpler charts next time, Junko.



This song is cute... And the chart is, yet again, well done. I think it's the right amount of arrows this time (even though you say you might have overstepped it).



This would actually fit well in the DDRMAX-EXTREME era. The song sounds like it would, the charts look like they would, I have a feeling the only reason otherwise was the song didn't make it into Dancemania. Nice work Chewi.

Macuilxochitl

What a cool complex composition. Too bad I couldn't get the full combo, but this song IS complex, so of course it'd be a 10 footer... Because I'm using Stepmania 3.9 Vanilla, this song crashed my simulator when I misstepped on the wrong arrow...



I got this full-combo'd on the first try. :3 And the chart looks authentic DDR material. ...except for the quads at the beginning and end, but those can be worked around.



First submission of the entire contest. X3

The song isn't something I'd listen to, but it's extremely stepable. I designed the heavy chart with the idea of having you twist around, and to balance that out, there is nothing that exceeds 16ths in the song and some parts are purposefully left unstepped. I think I did good with this one, and in one day too.



DDRMAX4 material...

This song sounds good for its genre. I'd probably listen to it a few times. The chart is also really well done, unfortunately, because of 3.9 (again), I ended up not getting the full experience (there are rolls) resulting in some really awkward steps... oh well. I like this nonetheless.

Sharaku

The song is pretty cool and retro. The chart, while being monstrously complex, is also well done. However, I'm sorry to say this isn't one of the best submissions because it actually goes off-sync. I literally kept getting bullshit goods/almosts/boos and I KNOW I was hitting the arrows. It really sucks too, this submisison is perfect otherwise.



Eh... ... Okay, I guess. Song isn't that memorable, I'm an idiot at the charts and ended up crashing the simulator on again because of the rolls...



This sounds like it'd be perfect for IIDX. But since these are DDR based "levels", I'll say the chart is perfect. :3 The chart was a bit of an overshoot though, and I did significantly worse at that than the chart.



Once again, song is cool. However, I think you went overboard with the chart. I don't do well with 32nd streams... To be fair, though, the song would be a bit too easy otherwise.



I kept getting bullshit goods on this... Song is okay, and the steps are well done again. If only I could have AA'd this, though...

Also, thanks for generating the pack, mystery guy! I got sleepy; after all, the deadline is 12am Indo time.

It's up to ohaiimian, since he got the file. Besides, it's past the deadline.

I definitely like the first three. The last three are decent, but the sync isn't that great. I liked KagKag more than 2 points, but it was particularly offsync.

I rated the SN2 rating because I'm not familiar with ITG so I know only DDR ratings. (until SN2/X~present)
So my 10 rating is not just ITG 10. It's maximum level from MAX until SN2.

---

Keepin' it old-school with some old-school charts (not even a single freeze arrow in sight).
I had a lot of fun making this too; thanks, whoever submitted the song!

---

Sometime I should challenge myself to make a chart that can be played entirely with one foot (or one finger).

I know, but easy songs suck.

But not as much as overstepped arse-gravy.

---

I would rather play a nicely stepped 6 or 7 than a 13 that is arrow vomit.

---

What's wrong with 16th note footswitches.

Not every song warrants them. The proper skill in simming is knowing that you CAN put all this ultra hard shit in, but if the song doesn't warrant it, you really shouldn't.

---

Supremely subjective.

In general, nothing is wrong with 16th footswitches. What you had for Jumper is purely excremental and laughable, I'm sorry.

---

Also, not all of the footswitches worked as intended. Some of them transitioned into backwards facing sections because you change the orientation of the patterns.
