Z-I-v Summer Contest 2016

Okay, new rule I'm gonna follow is, for weeks this large, only the top half in my rankings get HMs. I'm bringing back the +0 tier for this occasion. I can't give 27 HMs, I can only give so much it loses its purpose.

Basically everything I HM are files I wanted to give points to at some point and the +0s are files that I'd probably give points to in a much weaker round.

With that said, here you go.

Simfiles



Edit: Fixed typo, Brainfrog -> Brainfog

Song choices (NEW!!)

Basically what I would've wanted to step out of all of these.



Notes here as always.

Hopefully I can get SA-KU-RA to stand out to someone, this week is looking intimidating for me... o__o;

Okay, time for sleep. Good work as always, everyone!

Question: Is it possible to use 'poison mushroom'? Of course normal mushroom is kind of food, but if I eat poison mushroom, I'll be dead.

---

This is the footswitch part that I mentioned before.


You can play it like
R-R-R-R-RLRLR-R-R
or
R-L-R-L-RLRLR-L-R

I made this occuring up until half of the dubstep part.

For the rolls like


I actually intend to make the pattern works like


Maybe these aren't logical. I'm kinda dumb for using something I'm not familiar with. Next time I'll create something that makes sense.

---

It's ok to use like infected mushroon is ok to use.

---

Hey now, don't say that you're being dumb for trying out new stuff, even if the result this time wasn't great

CuzkoBlocko's total calculation is wrong. He gave the score to Minna no Kimochi, not Rokuko. but added total to Rokuko. so correct total is:

Actually what I meant by the rolls not making sense was that they just didn't seem to fit the song at all. I can play them just fine, I just couldn't tell what part of the song they were stepped to.

---

I assume sugar counts as a food (although one wouldn't ordinarily eat it by itself). If not, the lyrics mention sweets/dessert anyway, so the song still counts (not to mention the abundance of food in the BGA).
My votes will come later. I haven't seen any of the files yet, but if what people are saying is true, this is going to be a tough round to vote on (and to get any number of points at all).

---

I can submit a song that only includes a mention of a food (fruit in this case) once but is about something completely different, right?

As long as it mentions food in the Lyrics or is in the Song Title, or is part of the Artist name, it's fine.

Oh... well I did not see that. That's a whole lot easier... I really thought there was no hope. Thanks for the clarification that lyrics count. Now, to pick a song...

I fixed a Konmai in SA-KU-RA's graphics (Hitomoi -> Hitomitoi). If it bothers you, feel free to redownload. (thanks to chewi for pointing this out!)


Perhaps I should've left the text colors as they are. Hopefully it's not too big of a deal here.

My file this week should be here soon hopefully. I don't think I can get in doubles charts this time (sorry to anyone who looked forward to them) but I think I can get this song to work.

Well that's a lot of simfiles to go through.

3 pts - SMS (Bangerz) (feat. Britney Spears) (chewi) (even though I don't like Miley Cyrus [and her music for that matter], I found this fun to play to. Well made, in fact.)
3 pts - appreciation (DDRDAIKENKAI)
2 pts - Bohemian (CLOUDIO)
2 pts - Transport (Gameoson)
2 pts - Rainbow Locus (Loodee) (originally going to be in the HM section, but I liked it enough to give it points)
1 pt - Jungle Bae (Benpai) (a bit random for me personally, but honestly I still like it to give a point)
1 pt - Solar Eclipse (Professor Raine)
1 pt - Battlefield of St. Valentine (mf32892)

PHEWW that was a lot of songs to go thru, but:

Votes for [Mid Speed]:

+3 Sweet [Feraligatr] - I was going to do this song for [Food Week] but you beat me to it and you've done a great job. You have good taste in EDM
+3 Exchange Place [Oni-91] - I wish there were some DA songs left out there that people haven't charted already :/
+2 Rainbow Locus [Loodee]
+2 Transport [Gameoson] - As chaotic and fun as usual
+1 Confetti [chewi]
+1 Special One [ledgam3r1279]
+1 Death by Glamour [Pandemonium X] - YAY UNDERTALE
+1 Alive (Remix) [ohaiimian] - Kudos for doing a Christian song, Hillsong is great
