Z-I-v Simfile Shuffle 2016 — thank you for playing!

---

The only gripe I have about the skeleton I got is that I would have cut the song differently, but other than that, the song itself is pretty cool. Not bad for my first file of the shuffle/year.

---

Well I think I'm ready with my votes for Round C, so...

3 pts - Story 2 [Feraligatr] (well that got really intense. Felt the chart was a 10 even for playing on keyboard)
3 pts - Kinjirareta Chigiri [brunobg24]
3 pts - Ultimate Weapon pt.2 [Nezemarth]
2 pts - Skateboard Arena (Free Mode) [Gameoson]

If you haven't noticed, my file was finished rather early...


...And thus I have the time to explain what I wish to explain. The chart personally reminds me of my attempt at Sing from last year's Simfile Shuffle, and was certainly the most enjoyable chart for me to make thus far, but (hopefully) better executed and less forced. The chart is a DDR X/X2/X3-style shock arrow chart, with jumps aplenty; this chart is best played on pad, though a few complex patterns thrown in should prove more popular with the mainstream than my last attempt at such a chart. It's quite literally me asking you to play the standard/difficult chart, since the challenge chart is a modified version of that chart...

The custom zip has a .mpeg video of ご注文はうさぎですか'？'s opening at 720p, though I also have a 1440p .avi file which I may attempt to get working later on in the week.

---

I've finished my file quite early too! This tune gave me a very "retro DDR license" feel, so I decided to give it the classic DDR BGAnimations from Beware's Background Videos, which you can see in the Custom ZIP (|[❁´▽`❁]|)*✲ﾟ*

Also, this is the first-ever file which features my very own custom CDtitle! ✧＼\ ٩( 'ω' )و /／✧


Time to vote for Round C! (|[゜▼゜]|）

禁じられた契約 - 4 points (You did a really awesome job with this one! It's flawless!)
Roses (feat. ROZES) - 4 points (Also really good as well! Seems like it could be a DDR A license~)
Skateboard Arena (Free Mode) [Gameoson] - 3 points. (Gameoson, I must say that you are a great stepper! )
Rocking to the Beat [SZ64saulius] - 2 points. (It's got doublesteps here and there but heeey, you showed a lot of effort ◖|◔◡◔|◗)
サラバ、愛しき悲しみたちよ [CuzcoBlocko] -1 point. (A bit intense, but your effort and hard work is apparent! )
The Greatest [5l1n65h07] - 1 point .+.(|[♥´ω`♥]|)゜+.゜

Honorable mention goes to ヒャダインのじょーじょーゆーじょー!

Not saying your votes are wrong, but... if you believe it's a keyboard chart, why did you vote for it? :S

Just a little confused (since this is a pad competition), that's all.



Alright, file is gonna be delayed because I'm making an effort to look at all difficulties of the simfiles once again and the two I've looked at so far (I had a lot to say about one) have taken a couple of hours, and I'd like to prioritize in votes (I want the 10 points I have, haha).

---

I have to laugh, otherwise I cry.

---

Hi.

---

welcome to my house, grab a chair, first beer's on the house

---

It's because there were few patterns that is complicated for Keyboards and I love this song :3

Don't worry Feraligatr/Quickman, if I get (what I think is) your cuts I promise I will step them.


...huh? Are you saying you voted for it because you enjoyed the song?

Yeah! But can we stop talking one weird mistake? OK? Ok

No, you're going to live with this error for the rest of your life. We're gonna remind you constantly. Every time you feel a sharp pain in your thigh, you'll look down and see a cocktail stick impaled in there with "WE KNOW" carved into it.

---

How the bloody hell do you carve words into a cocktail stick

---

veeery carefully

---

People voting based on song choice is nothing new unfortunately. :-)

---

As is voting based on the person who made it. Aha. Aha haha ha ha.

---

Remember when Nezemarth voted for a Braeden file without playing it?
