+5: Poison (Beat Juggle) [xRGTMx]
How... did you do all that? Must have been really tough figuring out those colourful arrows. Very well done!
+4: K.O.A -Alice in Wonderworld- [Loodee]
I'm amazed with the BPM changes, really elevates the value of the chart. I might have just learned a new trick, thanks! And is that a right-arrow footswitch on 's m49? Whoa, didn't see that coming, haha.
+3: CYCLES [Densetsu.EXE]
Loving the mawarus. Excellent!
+2: 北のブルーバーズ [ddrstepper]
Very good. I actually disliked this song on Rhythm Heaven, but you made it very fun. Bravo!
+1: The Carnivorous Carnival [Spork!]
Pretty epic, lots of fun twists!

Honourable Mentions:
• Zauberkugel [Dreamland200]
Very fun indeed, like the rhythm. Some doublesteps on , though.
• Rolling Girl [Gameoson]
With those 16ths on ; I think it is leaning more towards a 10. I was going to say that they feel quite heavy, but hey, how else would anyone had stepped that part, huh? Well done otherwise.
• Ø [Darkstorm091]
Huh, steps are interesting, and nice tune you got there! Wished that the steps were longer, but I can't blame you because even Cytus' chart for this ended at the same time as you do. Also felt the 16ths are incorrect at times.
• 낭만망아지 [Scarz]
A little bit late, and I suggest making a change to .ogg. This file becomes severely offsync when I tried playing it from the middle, making it very hard/tedious to check. This was actually the case for CHOCOLATE PHILOSOPHY a few weeks ago, luckily I changed the file into .ogg before I submitted that. Formats aside, well well, doublesteps that make sense!
• U Got Me Rocking [brunobg24]
This file has better steps than the other one, quite fun. Same problem as Scarz's file sync, though.

Good luck everyone, and thank you for your HMs! And now to respond to some comments:

Spins? Where? I didn't put any spins on , to be honest. The cooldown part in the middle can be done without spinning, if that's what you meant.

Yes, they are very useful. Really spice things up. PS: Your cdtitle is corrupted.

...I... wish I knew.

Well now I feel really stupid, sorry about that. Gonna stop reviewing too many files at once

And I'm assuming that you meant m50 (maybe it's 49 in sm or something), which isn't a footswitch. It was me being sloppy and not seeing the doublestep ^^'' (Down arrow was supposed to be an up arrow d: )

My song this week....definitely toning it down from my entry last week even though it has the potential to be so much worse. Maybe on doubles...

Updated it, thanks.

---

Oh yeah, I'm using SM5 and the first measure is labeled Measure 0. That turned into something unexpectedly fun, heh (at least for me).

Wow, thank you very much!
And now I feel bad for not acknowledging DDRDAIKENKAI's +5 for PANDORA on Week 04. Thank you, that was quite special.

Eh? There were? Where?

---

(First measure is labeled m1 here.)

There is a potential one on m20. m19 has L-D-R-D+R (backward jump?) followed by U+D (left foot on U) and U+L, which will bring doublesteps if performed normally (left foot on L) but will not if another backward jump is done (right foot on L). Yeah, this is ambiguous.

However, I'm more sure about the one in m38. You did L-U-L to what probably should have been L-L-U. That was a really close gap, though.

actually was rated a 10 at one point. Honestly I kept flip-flopping on the rating and eventually decided it wasn't quite hard enough to be a 10, so it got bumped down to a 9 before I released it.

Thanks for the honorable mention!

Re-uploaded, with better synchronization and added.

I'm pretty sure you have that backwards. It should be:

"Lowdown Depths Area, from the Wario Land: Shake It OST."
