Z-I-v Summer Contest 2015 [Back to school, kiddies, the contest is over.]

Week 10 Comments
Chant du Cygne First things first, the first stop length is incorrect. I don't know waht it should be, but it offsyncs the rest of the song.
As for the chart. Why were there 12th jacks? 12ths + 190BPM + jacks = not fun. I think you used streams of 8ths a bit too excessively, too. Maybe try breaking up some of the streams. I did like the beginning section of the chart, though.

Les Parfums de L'Amour - could be a little less crossover-y with the 12ths, it's could be kinda hard to do (though if I actually played on a pad, I don't know if I would have a problem.)

Renai Circulation personally, I don't think long 8th streams fit the song too great. If you wanted to do just 8ths, I think short little 1-2-3 patterns would have sufficed. I also kinda wish the vocals where followed in the chorus a bit more, to the point of the 16ths there. Some of the spins were just too much. There were too many. Just once every so often would be alright. Also, like you mentioned in your post, I didn't like that pretty much everything was a crossover.
As for I'm not so sure that worked well. Maybe if the official music video had a dance, it would have worked better (like Nippon Manju!!!)

Renai Kansoku - Sync was off a bit, to the point where my MA became more of a PA. I think towards the beginning, you held too close to the melody. The (small) spaces there were were a bit unneeded in places. I've noticed that there are less double-steps than some of your earlier files, so that's good. Some of the patterning is too rigid. Try experimenting with patterns that make you turn your body a bit more, without having you doublestep; most of your streams made you face the same direction the whole time.

neu - interesting concept there, with the different song versions for each difficulty. I've never heard of that before.
Is the vocalist the same as the one from murmur twins?
I think it was a bit too stream-heavy. Maybe do a run of 31 8th notes (instead of continuing into another 8th stream) during the fast parts, then another run of 31 8th notes or something like that.
I had the same sort of nitpick with

Bibi-Hendl - I initially wanted to give points for the fun - charts, but then the chart just ruined all the fun the song had for me, sorry; if you remember/saw my earlier posts, I don't need to reiterate why that's the case either. The song itself is a little too silly for my tastes as well.

ニッポン饅頭 - You know there is free software online to download YouTube videos as well as convert .mp4 videos to .avi, right? It's probably the reason why everyone is having problems with the video syncing properly, and the video itself isn't even that great in quality either. And why not just put the equivalent BPM changes and stops in the .sm file too? At least it would be better than no gimmicks at all and SM has the option to turn them off anyway. Still, I really like the and charts, although the "doubles-only" shock arrow gimmicks (simultaneous mines and steps/freeze arrows) should be left to the CDP chart only if you were to make one for this song.

Pełnia - Honestly, I'm only giving a point to this file mostly for the awesome song choice; I'm lovin' the head-bangin' bass in this song. All the charts are pretty good too except for , where I think the steps follows the vocals a little too closely here. Also, the title isn't working for me, for some reason (I'm using SM5.0.9 with the CyberiaStyle LAST APPROACH theme).

恋愛観測 - Unlucky for you, this song has been in my WIP folder for quite some time now and one of the songs I was hoping to finish for this round (until I ran out of time, of course), and so I can't help but compare your charts to my vastly different, yet-to-be-finished charts. Then again, there are too many karaoke steps and awkward doublesteps here, so I probably wouldn't have liked the file regardless.
