@chewi- If you're stuck between 9 and 10 on the classic scale, that's almost always going to be a 14 on the X-scale. And your file definitely played like a 14, not a 13 or 15. Practically every 14 rating given to songs from past DDR installments started as either a 9 or 10 except for songs that started out as incorrectly ranked (example- Paranoia Hades).
Ok, I'm going to failsafe the sync in advance this time. If you're getting a few out-of-place Greats, it's not because of the sync- it's only because some of the synths in AudioSauna have a default 0.03sec attack delay placed on them, making the beat a tiny amount later, and your ear adjusts to the melody. This is especially present in the yellow note jack segments, so watch out!

If anyone else feels like New Horizons is off-sync, here's the .sm which contains how I fixed the drifting for myself. Try it if the song feels like it's drifting (especially in the second half);
The steps aren't there, so be careful when copying this.
I changed my mind. I'll add the doubles charts some other time. I'll also add ones for Youkaisai Sandou, Seedy Try, and Hitoribocchi at some point (I don't care for Who What Who What enough, and that file is a failure with the gimmicks). But for now, all 5 difficulties are ready. Just gotta finish up some final touches with the graphics...

Ok, so whoever submitted Hopelessly Devoted to You probably didn't test if their sync was any good at all. The song drifts a lot.
Edit: Is it possible to get a new file instead of this (a veto basically), or do I have to sync it myself?

Yeah, I'm all in with what Loodee asks. The file is awfully synced on first glance:

Tried to quick-fix it but no avail.

You're out of vetoes, so the best thing to do is to sync it yourself.I've contacted the submitter for the synced version, but it involves waiting, and it's not guaranteed to be good.
I feel really bad for letting this through. Sorry again. gdi why do i mess up so often

Actually... Vincentw said recuts are allowed, but only if they are necessary. For instance, Jordan. The original cut was terrible (no offense to Braeden47), the recut Vincentw allowed made a difference.

Let me explain this song cut really quick. It's mine.
Quote: The Legendary DJXYZ
Yeah, so this happened. Anyway, I'm responsible for both the song and chart, and there's no hiding that.
I sent this just to see how other people would handle it, and the delayed shuffle somehow ended up assigning this song to me. Go figure.
It's from Dancemania BASS #8. Knowing that this would be perfect for DDRMAX4, I got fired up and quickly whipped together the four difficulties I usually include and a background script. I WAS going to include doubles, but I thought it would take a bit too long. I'll still try, though, since there's still about 43 hours left.
And then I decided to make my first

Note: 5 background videos are not CuzcoBlocko videos 2015 yet.
Audience (silhouette1) is the most important, and the banner (which is missing) relies on its completion.
Speaker Fountain (blackhole1), Feel (dance10), Rainy Sidewalk (rain2), and Light Vortex (light5) are also used.
I might swatch out one because of how stupidly complex it is (the rain sidewalk), but the other three, I will race to get done before the deadline. I will also attempt to get



By the way, I have a question. Are you allowed to re-submit songs that didn't get stepped/veto'd into the backup pile? I think this was allowed in 2014, but I'm not sure if it still stands today. There is a song that got veto'd in Round D that I do not believe deserved to be.
Just as well, are you also allowed to resubmit songs from 2014 that didn't get stepped?

I'd consider something like this kinda cheesing your submission. Granted, ROUND A's Retro City was also a song submitted in 2014 by Loodee, but my submission used a different cut of the song. Borrowing someone else's submission and resubmitting it without changes defeats the idea of each submitter actually syncing their own simfile skeleton and making their own song cuts. Besides, it's more fun with a variety of song submissions instead of everyone resubmitting the same song just because they really want to see it stepped. (In which case why not step it yourself for Tournament of Immortals or Summer Contest or your own simfile category?)

Hey, I almost forgot about MAX4. You can use any of my submitted original songs (Incendium ad infinitum was one as well) for it. No more original songs from me for the rest of the contest, unless by ROUND L there's a high request or something.
While on the topic of submissions and syncs, may I ask vincentw for help on a sync for [ROUND G]? I've already got a rough estimate, but it needs a bit more work.
I came up with a better idea, that fits more with the new year. (hint hint) The weird sync one will probably be saved as a backup entry in case I can't come up with anything.

ROUND D comments
Overall, files were very competent. There weren't any that were really "bad". Voting was pretty hard for me. I've been playing these all week on mobile, but I don't usually vote until I've played everything on StepMania. I kinda want to give points to everything but I don't have enough points to distribute.
Itadaki Momoiro Zombie Nian -
This song is so diffierent from a lot of stuff I've seen before. The varying moods is why I submitted this song. I wish you had added in some 100 BPM sections though. (The first part where you stepped all freezes and the triplet rhythms.)
Overall this is a good chart. Not necessarily what I would've done for certain parts but you've done a good job.
this was decent too. The quads and hands were kind of annoying but aside from that, I like it.
I'm glad this song was given justice.
licca - This is a different cut than I've seen before. Is this an album version?
Wow, the gimmicks really make this file good. Honestly, if the stops weren't present I would've liked it less.
Living In The City - song is decent.
Good job on the chart. It's nice and easy and it fits the song well, too.
Mind Your Own Business - Fun song. It's very catchy.
This is pretty fun. I felt like some of the 24ths might've fit a tiny bit better as 16ths, but I could just be timing it slightly off.
Naedine - The song is really pleasant sounding. I like it.
I like this chart. It's very simple and I like it. It's not overtly hard or easy.
On and On - Song is pretty good.
I liked rhythm choices for the most part. Patterns were mostly okay, but there were some questionable patterns that made one doublestep. They are doable at this speed, though so it's not too big a deal.
One More Time - This is pretty good. Rhythm choices were good until the end. I didn't really agree with the 4th-16th-8ht-4th rhythms with the ending freezes. To me, there's nothing really audible there. Like, there is something goign on there, but it's not loud enough compared to the long notes. The gimmicks, like others have mentioned, didn't feel natural. But they're workable after the first play so I can deal with them.
$$$EX - Song is alright. Not too bad.
Personally, this is more of a 15 on X-scale. The ending is what bumps it up there for me. Plus the jumpsteps. Not bad aside from some doublesteps/footswitches in disguise.
Time Again - Not the best NekoMata Master song IMO.
File is slightly late. But otherwise, pretty good chart for this song. A couple awkward patterns are in there, but just a couple.
VELFARRE 2000 - The song is okay but it's not my cup of tea.
chart is good, though. No real problems with it.
I'm not sure this qualifies as an 11. I think it's more of a 10 / 15.
In the "Velfarre Velfarre...dancing Dancing" section, it kind of annoyed me that for the "velfarre velfarre", you had 4th-8th-4th jump and then the "dancing dancing" was all 4th jumps.
妖怪祭参道 -Oriental Swing- - interesting song. It's not bad.
Pretty good chart. There were a couple instances where I felt the BPM should've been briefly halved. I can point them out to you if you want me to tell you what I had in mind.
Zetsubousei Hero
This song is so long omg. There was a part towards the end that could have used a very brief stop. PM me and I can tell you what beat.
This is a good chart. It's a pretty hard 9 tbh. It's like a 14 X-scale. The slowdown was pretty unique, starting on an 8th note, which made 4th's and 8ths off beat. It was interesting how that was managed. It makes sense, though.
This is the hardest chart this week, no doubt. I"m not even sure how to rate this tbh. It's maybe a 16/17.

Actually.... you do. There are 13 files, one is yours, so that leaves 12. You have 15 points. Where those three extra ones go to is up to you.
Anyway, I decided to go simple with Oriental Swing and only have the beginning halved. The rest is straightforward. I'm not sure about my Round F file (whatever I get anyway), I'll study to see if any stops/BPM halves fit it.
