And wow, this round also got so many Hard Steps (over 700+ note).

Looks like I'm the first one who upload the file. Well, who cares. This round maybe I enter a shitty file. The music just repeated from time to time that I can't really think how to step this (And all my veto are already used). And another boss chart, how lovely.... All right, this is my entry for Round 8.

VOTES:
+5 La La Latch - I fell in love with this immediately. You did a FANTASTIC job of expressing the feel of the song into all of the charts, but I wish there were a banner to go with (I can provide some quick graphics for anyone that needs them in the future )
+4 Verflucht - So much energy in this song and chart, and those drills just worked SO perfectly in
+3 DEADLOCK XXX - Not a fan of this kind of song, but friggin' good job making it work across the board.
+2 Pompeii
+1 A Sky Full of Stars - Both this and Pompeii have been in my own WIP folder for a while, though the cuts are definitely way different. Great job both of you with interpreting the energy of the song into the charts.

I may not make it all the way through a chart this week, but all the necessary stuff for my file is ready. It'll be up sometime.

Guys, I'm currently away from my usual place, and internet is frickin expensive. Don't send me Round 9 files because I won't be around until Tuesday afternoon (UTC). Silverhawke or Scarz will help you. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your cooperation.

My simfile is almost done, I just need to ultimate something and then it's ready for release

Anyway, vote time. This time I'll be kind of short and I'll give quick comments about the chart.

NOTES

A Sky Full of Stars - I like the decision of keeping it easy to let the player enjoy the music, but a challenge chart really was needed to fill the missing rhytms. It's such a shame because I enjoyed it!

Banging' Burst - I can't really appreciate this because of my hatred for speedcore and his gimmick stereotypes, even though the steps are enjoyable. It's the rest that bugs me off (especially that super-short 930+ speedup o.o)

Cosmic Eyes - The biggest problem of this is that it dies out. You should have kept the way you were stepping from the start and the chart would have been extremely enjoyable. Also the ending freeze with the arrows is kind of unfitting for this.

DEADLOCK XXX - Again, I hate speedcore. I really despise some of the bpm gimmicks but I praise the steps and the X at the end <3

December Breeze - The biggest problem I saw with this and Pac Rainbow were the doublesteps. There are so many of them. Unless you're trying to replicate DDR style, try to consider the foot usage and the side you're facing while dancing next time!

Dolphin Talk - The song is just amazing <3. Challenge is so lovely and I love the step placement but Heavy is kind of missing something I can't really tell.

Karenzuki - Aside the fact some patterns are repetitive, the chart was really enjoyable to play!

La La Latch - While it's enjoyable, it somewhwat gets repetitive. The song is also to blame though.

Lemon Summer - I enjoyed playing through this chart. It flowed very well.

メギツネ (no clue for the translation) - Oh my freaking god that song o.o I like how it flows (and I think you're the king of the freeze arrows...no seriously, everytime I love these parts (Standard in particular) but there are some patterns that I can't really see at 284 bpm (the minijacks)

Pompeii - Well, I never thought Pompeii could have been a 10. I like the chart, it is considerably enjoyable.

STERLING SILVER: Classic TAG with a twist. I really loved the steps, the crossovers were so much fun to do!

Verflucht: It's over 900(0)!!!! Well, the steps are nice but just like Scarz said more impressive patterns could have been done with this.

Oddly enough I actually really enjoyed that speedup and probably would have done it if I was the one stepping Bangin' Burst.

For me personally it was the shock arrow chart that ruined Bangin' Burst.

---

Honestly, not even shocked. (pun very much intended)
Like I said in the description I'm not too experienced with shock arrows so I wasn't really sure if the shock arrows were tolerable. :^/

I'm going to get something done with this, but....

Why do I keep getting rather dodgy and fast songs? This one is a little repetitive and monotonous. I'd like a 110-150 BPM song for a change.

Oh, one more thing, this is the final round I'm participating in since my like of DDR/rhythm games is fading.
