It's my file. It always has to be my file. Why.
It's like, the most low quality cut of River! And it's like half the song! Come on!
So you'll pick that out over Bury It? Done. I really hate MediaFire.

Are you saying this has happened in the past...?

"Elsewhere known as borealis"
My file very often has a logistics problem. You (cuzco) experienced the bulk of it during the early Shuffle. Already, Let's Dance Boys was uploaded with X-Ratings, and River had to be sync updated AND can't be downloaded via MediaFire (which I already hate). What's next? At least one of my two uploads this next week is original.

Speaking of uploads, I'm going to be that guy to step a song by a band named after a place. It's going to be a Bastille song... which one, I have not yet decided. If you happen to be stepping Bastille, PM me telling me not to pick that one.
Not around here too often anymore, but I still play DDR & maimai!
My final contest run was in my signature so I guess I'll keep it here for those who wanna play my last few charts:

"well..."
I have a song with the word "dutch" (relating to the Netherlands or language). That qualifies to compete in the theme's week?

Comments:
2 On – I really liked your use of freezes on expert, and the streams on challenge flow quite well.

About To Fly – No complaints for the expert chart. The challenge chart is spot on as well, although there was that one percussion buildup where it goes from 4ths to 8ths to 16ths in which I thought you’d have stepped as well. But besides that, I really like both charts.

Anklebiters – I liked the beginning section, but there are a couple awkward step-jumps that I felt expert could’ve done without. Other than that, it’s a nice, streamy chart.

Big Boss – Nice streams; overall the chart is sensible and easy to follow.

Bury It - This is a fun chart! It’s stepped well and has a good sense of flow – I especially enjoyed those psudo-crossover/gallop (idk what to call them exactly) streams in the last section. Really well-executed overall.

Common World Domination – You beat me to this song, but it’s interesting to see a different interpretation. That being said, the direction you took for the expert and challenge charts are interesting; the bpm changes are a bit iffy to me, but they both have a great flow.

Disco Night – It’s a clean, organized, and balanced chart with a great use of 24th swings and streams.

Do It All Night 2003 – It’s a well balanced chart, although there was one middle section that entirely faced the left side (intentional?); however, it’s easy to read and flows well.

do the thing – The decisions made in both the expert and challenge charts are spot-on, although I thought certain sections could
benefit from bpm gimmicks to emphasize certain points in the music (but that’s more personal taste). I really enjoy this file!

Drop FM – I really enjoyed the crossover bits that matched the piano/triangle/bass intermission beats (I have no idea what to refer to those as). The jump section in the middlee was fun as well. Great chart!

Harmonia – I was planning on stepping this one, but you beat me to it. Anyway, there’s a nice dichotomy of flow and jaggedness in the steps, including streams and crossovers that compliment the guitar riffs mid-song, but also jerky jump-steps to emphasize certain sounds like the staccato violins. This is likely how I would’ve stepped it.

Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! – A fun, varied and balanced chart with tricky but sensible bpm changes.

Hello, Hello – The chart doesn’t flow quite as well as I’d hoped – there are awkward jump-step patterns and seemingly unintentional double-steps involved.

Hoshi Furu Yoru no Adenium - Nice streams, particularly for the expert chart - but where’s hard?

Hung Up – Interesting patterns; it’s overall a solidly balanced 7 footer.

I Want You to Know – Nice chart; however, I’d given it an 8 rating given all the 16th streams involved.

IGNITE - Good 8th streams, although the ending section’s use of freeze arrows, 16th patterns and jump jacks seem a bit out of place.

Kind Lady –FUTURE TRANCE MIX– - The first 2/3rds of this song were great, but I felt conflicted about the last section. You’d be screwed on some of those 16th patterns if you started on the wrong foot. Maybe that aspect of quickly trying to figure out where to double step to catch those mini-streams adds to the difficulty, but I’m not sure if it’s an entirely appropriate move.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch – Good, creative uses of rolls in expert and bombs in challenge.

Longin 4 U – (for this I checked difficult and expert) The charts were stepped alright. I spotted a few doublestepping moments that felt out of place, and some parts didn’t flow well. I also felt the midsection stream of the song on expert wasn’t entirely necessary. However, I liked the direction of some of the bpm changes you placed in there, although I felt certain sections may need more work. I liked the song choice, though.

Look Alike – It’s a good chart! I thought the gallops at the end were a nice touch.

Neon Twilight – It’s an interesting chart, and well balanced too.

No Light, No Light – The steps are not bad, but the song cuts off so abruptly, and the chart feels late.

Pick Me – It’s nicely stepped; however, there were a few step-step-jump sections that I feel would be awkward on pad if led with the wrong foot, so maybe a small revision to make those patterns easier to follow.

Ponko2 Girlish – I really like the twists implemented in the expert chart; it fits the whimsical nature of the song. The freeze arrows were also well put.

海賊Fの肖像 (Portrait of the Pirate F (English ver.) – great 10; the streams fit and step well to the music. This one is definitely a keeper.

REcorrection – I love the simplicity of the chart; it really compliments the song’s calm nature.

Reverse – It’s a nice chart that flows well. However, I felt the song’s moderate bpm, crossovers, and freeze-steps could push its expert rating to a 7.

Ride – It’s a nice chart, although I’d think the steps could benefit from more complex patterns.

River - The chart has nice gallops and well-executed bpm changes.

Run The World (Girls) – There’s good use of freezes; both expert and challenge charts are well-balanced.

サプリミナル・ダイエット(Sapuriminal Diet) – Both the expert and challenge charts have good flow and have me engaged throughout the entire song.

Stay Awake – It’s an interesting chart that flows well.

Suzy – The song flows and has balance; you did a great job maintaining these elements in the more stream-heavy expert chart as well.

Tears – There is a ton of variation in this chart, although I’m not sure if I dig all the twists and tricky timings with the stops (but that’s a personal taste); that being said, it is a fun mix-up of 12th gallops and 16th streams.

TIEFSEE – It’s a fun and balanced chart!

Tomadoi Mischief – I really like the compact nature of the charts caused by the 16ths; it highlights the tense and almost-claustrophobic atmosphere of this ambient track (at least for me).

Turn It Into Love – The chart has a good, balanced blend of simple 8th stream patterns and crossovers. For challenge, I see what you wanted to do with the skips, but I feel the song’s tempo would make those feel forced or labored on the pad (which actually makes me a hypocrite because I did the same kind of thing for my first simfile submission, haha). However, I have no complaints with the rest of the chart.

Whenever, Wherever – The chart has nice gallops and streams.

I fixed both links; they should be working fine now. Also, I changed the title to "Sekai wa watashi de mawatteru!.[X]" after CuzcoBlocko's comment of avoiding question marks in the file name.

Hopefully everything is running smoothly. Please let me know if anything else comes up.

Ah, the problem is in the question mark in the title. I think it's being read as a parameter or something like that?

Change the question mark in the link to its character code, %3f, and the link should work again. Try the link below:

Wait, should I change it to "%3f" now? And if I do, do I change the file title only, or do I have to rename all the files within it as well? (That's what I did when changing it to "!.[X]" originally).

Or should I leave it alone now?

Leave it alone now. That %3f fix is just for the link if you're using question marks in the title. That was a response to Birdwards' post above you. Sorry for the confusion!

The link above still works, but it takes you to the old custom zip.

"Elsewhere known as borealis"
It appears you forgot to change the number on River. To save space in the thread, edit your post making River's score number a 10.

Hey, I'm not stepping Icarus by Bastille, so if you have no ideas and want the cut you can have it.
I'm going to step both of the other cuts, and the steps I like more will get graphics and be submitted.
Not around here too often anymore, but I still play DDR & maimai!

All I'm certain of right now is my votes.
I don't have the time to format my notes at the moment, so I'll have to share them tomorrow at some point.

I'll leave this post for now and say that there were a lot of great files this week. I made a spreadsheet with my numerical ratings on chart quality. Most were in the 9/10 range.
I also have other comments that I will share later as well.

Good night for now

Baelfire- The beginner chart was excellent, nothing to say here.
‘Looks at the next difficulty up’- O_O… It’s the exact same as the beginner chart!! Not only that, but this chart is rated a 3, while the beginner chart is rated at a 1! Perhaps it’s possible that the .sm file was botched, replacing this chart with the beginner chart, but never have I seen this before, and none of the other difficulties don’t seem to be affected. If these two charts were made the same on purpose so that you could pretend to have a full range of charts, then that was a very disingenuous move Sad

The standard chart was very fun, no complaints there.

As for heavy, the beginning 12ths were probably too hard for a 9 footer (especially an ITG 9-footer, from what I’ve seen), but the chart was very well crafted.
Challenge chart had some strange jump steps and bracketing, but it seems to work well for players of this level.

I must have saved after using the f5/f6s keys by mistake, they're really bugged in sm3.95 and I should have checked before uploading. Hopefully the chart is still intact on my laptop, because I definitely had it at some point >.<

I was on the edge for the hard and expert difficulty ratings, but if the hard is a 10 then the expert would definitely need to be an 11. I'll take a second look.

Anyways, I'm super impressed that you gave in-depth reviews for all files and all difficulties, thank you very much!

"Two milkmen go comedy"
Thank you for acknowledging the work that I put into all of the reviews! (Though I didn't have much to say about yours.) I probably won't be repeating this feat this week though, since it's far too late for me to start. Glad to see that the omitted Light chart wasn't intentional, though Smile

"Two milkmen go comedy"
My first file has been uploaded!


Another one of my older files I decided to finish up for this week. It's a fun Italo-Disco track, and maybe a bit difficult for a 6. There's also an edit chart which resembles the initial Heavy chart, though don't expect anything as dramatic as something from, say, mf32892.

Lots of great songs this week! I added quite a few to my permanent collection, which is always a nice treat.

I have a bunch of notes. The most useful thing is that I cut the video for Problem, if anyone wants it, and I have some notes on bpm/offset timing as well.

Neon Twilight - 3
Big Boss - 2
Disco Night - 2
Do It All Night - 2
Pick Me Up - 2
Portrait - 海賊Fの肖像 (English ver.) - 2
Problem - 2
Reverse - HM
River - HM
Suzy - HM
Turn It Into Love - HM

Interesting... I voted for the top three songs, but I also gave two songs their first points.

About To Fly
- i like the step patterns, especially the crossovers
- needs bg & banner.
- also, feels like it goes on a bit long given how repetitive it is

Big Boss
- fun!

Bury It
- i like the interesting rhythms
- unfortunately, miscut: 67.795, 74.395 are correct (mostly)
but later 79.773, 83.373 (offset +0.025)

Disco Night
- very interesting, fun rhythm

Do It All Night
- decent
- tempo of 140.00 seems to line up beats without drift
- also, the banner is mislabeled in the .sm file

Ignite
- fun! i like the crossovers
- maybe a 9? the run at the end seems more intense than an 8
- is the tempo a little drifty? it would be great if someone else
could check

Kind Lady
- Fun!
- The sudden jump in difficulty at the end felt a little out of
place, maybe
- also, I'm having a hard time figuring this out for sure, but I
think it might have been cut early on and not quite cut right.
beats at 2.847, 3.269, 11.719 (all around offset -0.311) and then
beats at 14.895, 47.644, 62.431 (all around -0.318)

Longin 4 U
- a version without this many gimmicks would be nice

Look Alike
- I like it, but i think there's some drift in the beat

Neon Twilight
- These gimmicks are tastefully done. The turns are done at a
reasonable speed to make them interesting and playable.
My favorite chart from this week.

No Light
- bg and banner
- the intro is really long. probably cutting the first 45s would
make a more interesting simfile. it would also solve the problem
of having to cut the music short at exactly 2:30

Pick Me Up
- I don't really like either the song or the video, but the steps
are fine, the simfile is polished, and it get some bonus points
for having more women in it than all the other submissions
combined

Portrait of Pirate F
- fun!
- was the slight tempo difference needed? was 148.006, -0.472, but
148.000, -0.477 seems to work fine

Problem
- I like it! Best version so far on ZiV
- I like the mines forcing the foot slides which keep you facing
forward during the hold patterns
- The cut preserves all the key points of the song, including the
freestyle, which is great.
- needs a banner & background. i actually cut the video, in case
anyone wants that

Reverse
- does the tempo on this one drift? maybe miscut?

River
- I like River, especially the fact that it's triplets the whole way
through. A few too many gimmicks though, such as the hold in 57
- Unfortunately, it seems to be a little miscut: beats at
2.078, 31.836, 78.880 need an offset of roughly -0.155, then beats
at 107.713, 115.393, 123.073 would need -0.19

Suzy
- on the Expert chart, there are a lot of cases where in order to
alternate feet, you would have to orient your body very strangely,
and foot slides would have to be very fast
- Heavy steps are good, though

Turn It Into Love
- I see (hear) what you're going for with the blue/yellow gallops,
but I think the red notes are much more prominent during those
sections. I think this section feels a lot better as yellow/red
instead of blue/yellow.
- other than that, i like it!
- I believe the bpm should be 116.065, offset -1.058
those settings make a nice line through the following beats, which
I measured in my wave editor:
4.676, 17.084, 35.178, 45.516, 55.080, 68.261, 73.948, 82.220

"Two milkmen go comedy"
My second file has been uploaded!


From Dancemania DIAMOND! As you might be able to predict, I styled the chart/graphics, to the best of my ability, after the DDR 5th mix style. Even though the Heavy chart is a 6 footer, it is a little bit of a pusher in that regard, similar to MY GENERATION (Fat Beat Mix) or MOONLIGHT SHADOW (New Vocal Version), so hopefully you won't be left very underwhelmed by it (though there are no freeze arrows). For the Light chart, I was debating whether to rate it as a 3 or 4 footer, but I went with the latter to be safe, due to the relative abundance of 8th notes to other songs of this mix; it also ends with the 'photo finish' that faces the player backwards. I believe this file to be one of my better ones, so I hope you enjoy! Big Grin
