Z-I-v Summer Contest 2014 [CLOSED]

I'm going to be withdrawing myself from Z-I-v for a while, so remove me from the contest.

there's no need for that since participation is never obligatory

EDIT: I removed the suffix for Latch because it's annoying and stupid.

Nevermind, I just went through a really hard decision that I made and leaving ZIv should not have been part of that decision.
vote for Chronos

Excited about the duet theme. Thanks to everyone who participates in this. Great simfiles.

some comments
Blue Marine has misquantized arrows in here (they all should be 12ths) (oops i accidentally deleted the right arrow)

i don't really understand what's going on in CHAOZ JAPAN, sorry
there were comments for Chronos but i spoke to ohaiimian already
i thought four pieces of heaven's ending would be harder than that. did you copy IIDX's bpm changes, or...?
Home Alone has a lot of doublesteps
those 12ths in One Way Or Another shouldn't be there, i don't think this song belongs in this week
SAVIOR SWING feels a little drifty
The Way You Make Me Feel has the wrong BPM. i heard you have SM problems, did you try vanilla 3.9?

I knew I was going to submit this song at some point throughout the contest. I was actually going to submit two versions of it: one of the first half of the song and another of the second half. Two problems occurred to me though: Voting would have been weird for the files because they would probably be so similar and the contest ended up only allowing a single submission per week. This is just fine though. As long as I get to share the song, I'm just peachy.

Anyway, I had a great time making this, especially the graphics. I basically spent all of yesterday on them and I'm really happy with how they turned out. I think the charts are super fun and I really hope everyone enjoys them!

BTW, if you PM'ed me for comments on your file, I'll get those to you before the end of the week, I promise!

*Adds moar Super Eurobeat*


This version of the song is actually using both the album version (intro) and the version featured on Super Eurobeat.

No video or lyrics this week. [sadface] Don't kill me.

Woah xD My second option was going to be "Beautiful Day", a song from SEB155 too. Instadownloading

It would appear you are missing the .sm/.dwi for your file in the category.

Fixed! c:

Wait, 3rd Coast is allowed? Damn, I was going to step one of their songs but then I thought "meh, the guy always raps :/"

Yep its a 3 person group but JC & So Fly are the only vocalists. JC mostly raps but he also joins So Fly in the chorus and etc. in a bunch of their songs. Im just glad I could finally step one of their songs, ive been dying to do so since SC2013, most of weeks I participated werent fitting for their songs.

When I put them as 12ths, it seemed like it was too slow. I kept getting Goods on them. Maybe it was 24ths? I don't know.
