ZIv's Summer Contest 2010

Had this ready already, how cool is that.

Single:
1 4 6 8
Double:
3 5 8

So, we can put singles steps in too, but there has to be doubles?

---

Doubles charts are required and will be judged based on the doubles charts. No singles charts whatsoever.

---

Guys... if i don't submit one file for this week... please give me -5.

---

I'll give you a -5 now for motivation! HA! :V

---

Doubles, oh fuck yes.

Also surprised I got a first from a song I did with one day left, and a 4th from a song I did at the start. Ho-hum.

---

yay! For multiple reasons.

Also, I have reviews!


Anime Week

Bleach The Limitation
You, sir, need to work on your music cut skills D8
S-Heavy: It's OK. I'm glad you didn't try to turn this into anything more than the 8-footer you got out of it. It still wasn't very interesting.
S-Std: This is a pretty good chart, and the one that I think better fits the song.

Cagayake!GIRLS
Maybe a little off-sync? I might be feeling that just because the song is a tad quiet.
S-Heavy: Pretty good. Watch out for the doublesteps in the beginning - not cool. It's a pretty good representative of a 7' chart.
S-Std: I like this chart better than the S-Heavy. Feels more natural, better pattern variety.

Cagayake!GIRLS (TV Size)
S-Heavy: I get the feeling that I'm playing a mix of smooooch and HONEY PUNCH. In a good way. A few less doublesteps and I'll be REALLY excited
S-Std: This chart may be a bit high for a 6, but it's an excellent chart because it knows how to breathe. The foot placement's also good.

CAT'S EYE
S-Heavy: ...wow. This chart is good for all the right reasons - keeps you on your toes, fits the song really well, lots of interesting patterns (even some weird ones that turn you outside). A pretty solid 9. Excellent.
S-Std: A good companion 6. Has a few doublesteps, but nothing that can't be worked around.

Dear You (dnb mix)
zomg this is one of my favorite anime songs...and the D&B mix is really good too 8D
S-Heavy: Pretty fun. I'd like to try this on pad sometime to see if I can work that eighths spin near the beginning without doublestepping. There's a couple awkward moments, but the chart fits the song well. Unfortunately for you, I keep having ideas on stepcharting this song while I play it, and they're getting in the way
S-Std: Slightly better than the S-Heavy. Naturally a bit less going on, but I do appreciate that, and although there's a number of doublesteps, I think I'd be doublestepping this chart anyhow for the feel of it.

Girls on Film
one of these things is not like the others LOL
S-Heavy: Felt a bit generic, but it was still fun. Needs more crossovers
S-Std: Really nice. I would recommend this chart to somebody looking for more sixes to play.

Inner Universe
I LOVE THIS SONG
S-Oni: ...More like an 11 (I'm thinking Felm S-Heavy) until that final run. The eighth-note parts were kind of boring, but if I was feeling energetic, I think I'd play this chart.
S-Heavy: Copypasta from the S-Oni BUT - make this the highest difficulty, spice up that eighth-note run, lower the difficulty rating to a 9 (it's easier than Xepher S-Oni), and you've got yourself a deal.

Kokoro ga Tomaranai
S-Oni: The ending was...interesting. The middle was extremely top-right biased. And the beginning was pretty fun. Make sure you watch those doublesteps, they're sneaky like that.
S-Heavy: A much better constructed chart. Shoulda stopped with this one, it's pretty good! I like the consistent blue note idea with this song.

O2
S-Heavy: This chart fits the song really, really well. And it's quite fun to boot. I'd rather play this instead of Trust.
S-Std: Pretty decent companion chart. Not as interesting as S-Heavy, but still pretty decent in its own right. More of a 5 than a 6.

You made doubles charts! yay!
D-Heavy: It's got a lot of good ideas, but tends to have strange pad-to-pad movement. Either it baits you one way and then makes you wait, or jumps right on over when there's no call for it.
D-Std: There's a bunch of doublesteps (or long stretches, same thing here) that ought to be remedied. The rhythm isn't too bad though.
Overall, I would recommend actually playing your charts out to see what kind of stretches you're having the player do. If you don't normally play doubles, set up your keyboard in a two-pad index format (RCSG for 1P and IMHL for 2P is my favorite) and slow the song tempo down to 0.7x or something. Watch where your feet (fingers) end up. I'm going to leave the doubles charts out of consideration for now and judge on your singles charts. Great effort though!

Start
S-Oni: It's weird playing an anime theme and thinking you're on an ITG machine. The chart reminds me very much of...a song I can't put my finger on at the moment Walking on Fire, I think. Interesting, good patterns, but much too much going on for this particular track, and not much space for breath.
S-Heavy: Much better feeling, much better breakup of the chart. Still a little goofy for the track it's meant to fit.

Super Driver
S-Heavy: This chart shows great promise, but it's a bit unrefined. Those bursts of 16ths are too much for a 9-footer, and there's jumps where nobody wants to do jumps. Otherwise quite nice
S-Std: Much better thought out. Kind of evil for a 7', but it's a good chart, and fits the song well.

TANK!
Cool remix. I approve.
S-Oni: I like what you did there with the stops. And the track influence on the chart, it was there. I'm just not sure that you ever checked the chart with index or on pad, just to see whether there were doublesteps. THERE WERE DOUBLESTEPS. D: Oh, P.S., I think it's a (high) 10 rather than an 11.
S-Heavy: Same beef as with S-Oni, but this is the real 10, and much more fun in general. Mop up those doublesteps and I'll play it on pad for sure.
