Z-I-v Summer Contest 2018

That's alright! I guess it's because I sent two different PMs.

I don't think this changes anything really, but still.

Well, looks like I gotta go update the results. Be back in a couple of minutes while I recalculate everything.

WEEK 5 RESULTS: TAKE TWO

Taking 1st Place with 36 Points is... NewAige, by ohaiimian! You still won. Good job.
Taking 2nd Place with 30 Points is... Hyper Gore Flying Squirrel Stick Disappear-y Genius, by ddrstepper! You still made VIP. Good job.
Taking 3rd Place with 29 Points is... Leprechaun, by Gameoson! Except now it actually placed 3rd, beating out Jazzclub in the tiebreaker. Wonderland would have been 5th.

A couple of point values changed here and there thanks to Astro's votes. Small impact, but an impact nonetheless.

Check out the full (and hopefully final) results here!

C'mon... if there's gonna be a dance song for Halloween, MJ's Thriller will always come to mind.

Well shit

Here were my personal rankings from [Wind Jammers]!


As always, PM me for any questions you may have about your placement/if you want some quick feedback! I'm probably gonna stream [Uncommon Time] file reviews tomorrow in the early afternoon since today is Father's Day and whatnot. I'll post in the thread once that's live.

Halfway point leaderboard (click for 1080p):



- Congrats to all winners, and for ddrstepper for earning a spot in VIP!
- TikalFan9000 is now a definite qualifier, as there are not enough points remaining for everyone in places 4-16 to catch up to him. Congrats!

I'm away until the 26th, week 6 leaderboard will come after that.

Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, here comes something good to eat...

This is the second RTTF Records song I submitted this contest, with this song being on the album "Happy Halloween".

Yes, it's buchiage trance like Fire Fire. Yes, it fits the theme.

The ☝ character is not present in the simfile because emojis are not supported. It's fine.

I might make a harder chart to add to this later in the week. I just want to make sure I have enough time to play last week's files and double check my votes actually add up right this time instead of submitting votes on three hours of sleep. Chart added, requires SM5 due to scrolls only on Challenge but the provided SM should be fine as is if needed.

OK first of all, I'm silly and forgot to say thank you for those who voted for my [Wind Jammers] file!! I honestly didn't think it would perform as well as it did, but like I said when I posted the file here, I had a lot of fun making it, so I'm glad some of you had fun playing it.

Second, I'll be streaming [Uncommon Time] file reviews in a few minutes! Stream should last about two hours like last time. This time around I'm going to be going straight into alphabetical order, regardless of who's in the stream. Just experimenting with format, really.

---

I've always found that usually if someone says they had fun making a file, it turns out to be a lot of fun to play too. Fun is just contagious like that.

That being said, let this be good advice for everyone else in the contest - don't be afraid to go nuts.

Speaking of going nuts, here have an SM5 only file.

---

If you downloaded this already, I updated it with another chart that is just ridiculous. I normally don't like making charts with 1000+ notes but it was fun to be silly. The SSC gives it scrolls on that chart only but the SM should have the chart intact without those just in case.

I’ve been a longtime listener of OverClocked ReMix, and while many of the songs featured on the site are quite amazing, I’d never considered stepping one of them before. So, while I had a couple other ideas for this week’s theme, I decided to go out on a limb and choose this Castlevania remix, which happens to be one of my favorite mixes from one of my favorite OCR dudes. Expect a lot of fake triplet patterns (or whatever you call a 4th-16th-8th sequence).

---

it also has stops, a warp, a scroll, and stealth mods.
this is pretty much my first time adding attacks to the file, so i don't knows if it works outside of SM5...

---

Okay, I'm gonna say that due to some personal issue, I will be unavailable for week 6 voting so if you want to vote, please send it to Gameoson or Pandy. Thank you.

---

Thought I'd do Just Dance 2017's Halloween song for this round because it's a fun and cool one.
At only 85 BPM, this is the slowest song (e.g. slowest CONSISTENT BPM) I've ever made a simfile of but that doesn't mean it's not challenging.
Please enjoy! (|[*'v'*]|)

@01angel Honestly, I was expecting that you were going to use this as your submission for this week:

---

Did somebody ask for witches???

Well well DigitalBasic, I thought of that same album when this theme came up! Good deal. I'll go with this track instead:


From the album Happy Halloween.

I was actually thinking of doing this for Week 5, the wind instruments one. Lucky it still works for a more fitting week. (Though to be honest, I'm more of a Christmas fella.)
