ZIv Simfile Shuffle 2014 -- THANK YOU FOR PLAYING

2008 [Dreamland200]
Song: ★★★★ - Love it, but it’s a little long.
Chart (Heavy): I liked the simple beginning, and I waited for some more exciting/challenging footpatterns and rhythms, but I feel like those didn’t come into play until the last few measures of the song. I felt like most of the song relied on stair patterns and I was hoping for some more crossovers and such. I also thought there were some moments in which 16ths could’ve spiced things up. Overall, the chart has potential, and if you decide to spruce it up I know if can be super fun. ★★★☆; +1

猪突猛進ガール [Loodee]
Song: ★★★★★ – RERULILI HELL YA
Chart (Heavy): Okay, so I there is a threshold of difficulty and if a song crosses that threshold (as in it’s harder than I usually like), I normally don’t enjoy it. This song basically crosses this threshold, but you approached it in such a way that I really, really, REALLY enjoyed it. Besides a few vocal rhythms that fell flat towards the beginning, I loved the rhythm choices and the footpattern selection was perfect in my opinion. Really nice work with this one! ★★★★☆; +5

Electrodynamix [MRace2010]
Song: ★★★ – Honestly, not bad. The name was cheesy so I expected it to be boring, but like I said, it was fine. It is pretty short, though.
Chart (Heavy): It started off pretty good. I’m sort of torn on whether or not stepping this at 254 BPM was appropriate because while I agree with Gameoson and Loodee that it doesn’t seem intense enough for 254, but I like the way it scrolls at 254. I know I could just add a 2x speed mod if it were at 127, but I don’t know. Personally, I thought it was a nice touch. Anyway, the chart started off simple and enjoyable. Then we got into the jump streams and I was like, “Oh?” I was actually enjoying it at first (another point I sort of butt heads w/ Gameoson; no shade though) but soon enough it just got repetitive. Then the speed up to 508 BPM happened and I was like, “Uhhhhhhhh…” And then there was a point where there appeared to be super awkward doublesteps. ★★★
Chart (Challenge): Basically the same thing as I said above. Weird doublesteps/footpatterns felt more prominent here, thought. ★★★
Charts (Overall): Basically these charts started off great, but soon enough they felt like overkill. I would recommend just cutting out most of the jumps and replace them with some interesting foot patterns, as well as just keeping the BPM at a constant 127 (or 254 but since people aren’t too hype about that BPM it’s better to listen to the majority in this case) with the exception of those slowdowns because those were HOT. Also just get those doublesteps figured out. Overall, this chart is definitely going in the correct direction. ★★★; +0

Love Again [Gameoson]
Song: ★★★★ - I’m not a Pentatonix fan per se, but I do enjoy some of their songs every now and then. This one is actually quite nice.
Chart (Heavy): Not much to say about this one, really. I thought you did a really nice job of foot patterns and rhythms selections. Not too easy, not too hard. Just right! ★★★★☆
Chart (Challenge): Again, nice job with rhythms and footpatterns. I will say a lot on the mines here were off putting, just because they seemed unnecessary. Other than that I liked this chart, although I think I enjoyed Heavy’s simplicity more. ★★★★
Charts (Overall): Nice job! Your files never fail to be enjoyable. Also the scrolling in the charts was a nice touch. ★★★★; +4
