WAIT FUCK

Compared to last week, it's a bit shit.

Anyway, doing one now.

Critique time!

In the Tornado
I actually thought this was a pretty good song, but the ~150BPM seems to slow. Would seem more natural to have it at 300+BPM.

Heavy: I'm not usually one to complain about lack of difficulty, but this does seem rather understepped. And in particular measures 31~34 have odd rhythms. Nonetheless, I liked your use of spins.

Final Fantasy is an RPG
This was kind of cute the first time I heard it but by the time I had tried all the charts out I was very tired of this song. It's all unnecessarily long.

Heavy: It's good, considering you essentially have to work with the same music for 2 minutes. Nice use of foot placements.

Oni: Too much copy+paste from the heavy.

Gym Leader Remix
I liked this song, but W:OW is it offsync. At times I get goods while playing to the music.

Heavy: Pretty good, not much else to say here.

Oni: Too much copy+paste from the heavy, which leads me to believe this is done by the same person who did FF is an RPG. Also consider shortening some of those really long 16th streams because there are times where it's extremely hard to hear the rhythms I'm supposed to be stepping to.

Maria's Song
This song makes me feel very sleepy and is pretty boring, especially for having a 2:00 cut.

Heavy: It's good I guess. You made the best out of what little things you had to step to.

Oni: This chart screms "Look at me, I'm being interesting! Really, look!" with those unnecessarily long freezes and excessive use of hands. Tch tch.

Moon Over the Castle
Kept waiting for this song to get interesting. Never quite happened.

Heavy: I dunno, pretty boring actually...Not sure what else to say.

Pacman
This song had a few good parts but was overall not great. Also, it's pretty repetitive at parts, probably would have been a good idea to cut it a bit shorter

Heavy: I liked this chart. My only gripe is that it can get repetitive, but that's more due to the cut than the steps.

rAAw battery
Bland song, not much else to say.

Heavy: I didn't like the whole stop thing you did with those 16th streams. Other than that, there are a few doublestepping problems.

This Feeling
I didn't like this song at first, but it grew on me. Sounds like one of those nice, relaxing GFDM songs.

Heavy: Pretty good chart, that is all.

Zero-Two
It's okay I guess, repetitive though.

Heavy: Rerate this to a 9. Started out good, but the random spouts of 300+BPM, sections of blue arrow syndrome, and double stepping problems kinda killed it for me.

Gonna upload my song in a sec... But before I do, does a remix of a bemani song count? Because DDR, beatmania, etc. are video games.

---

Whoops, ok. won't upload then.

---
