Z-I-v Simfile Shuffle 2015 — thank you for playing!

I'm really not that surprised stepping a rap song for once, but I guess It'd turned out like something. :/

@vincentw or Scarz: Did you guys get my Round H file?

---

There's a video, and it will only play on versions StepMania 5 beta 2 or later because of the file extension I used (just gotta let you know in case you aren't using a compatible version).

Overall this song was pretty fun. IBefore doing any research I initially thought this was like an Indian pop song and that the first singer was male (oops). I do feel as though this cut was missing some cool parts of the song though.

I hope you guys enjoy this!

EDIT: lol whoops, forgot to include a link here. It's there now

The stepartist typically does very well on their own file since they know everything about it. If they didn't, that'd be a bad sign.

No file this week (boo~ you suck), but if you'd like opinions about your file, what works and what doesn't, feel free to PM me.
Or don't, that's ok too.

From Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I didn't play original game, but the song makes me dance tango. It takes two to tango.

Challenge has MINES and different taste from Heavy.

Many people surprised why I didn't use veto in Scatman ESR. Of course I don't like that song either, but I want to use the least veto. Although there are many songs that don't fit in StepMania, I want to 'train' my step making skill to various songs I meet.

I re-uploaded the custom zip to fix a misnamed file/.sm/.ssc reference. You can re-download if you want, or you can just manually edit your .sm and .ssc: change

I think there were some files this week that could have been better, but had some weird decision making involved when creating bpm changes and gimmicks (tricklash and stepmania in particular).

I really wanted to make a challenge chart, but I ran out of time

And here's everyone else:
(see spreadsheet for text version. NV: no vote • DQ: disqualified • NS: no steps • VT: vetoed)
No-pic avatars: the first and third are sodartic's; the second and fourth are Braeden47's.


ROUND H Shuffled List [ecchi?]
Welcome, Pandy! Let's start the round.


Thirteen files in the backup pile. Everyone is welcome to add to it!
Due 11 January, 17:00 UTC: ROUND G votes, ROUND H steps and ROUND I skeletons.

OK. My song is unsteppable noise. Doesn't anybody listen to these submissions beforehand?

Seriously.



And I don't have any vetoes left, so I guess I'm sitting this week out. :/

---

Wow, Cuzco called it. Mokou submitted to Gameoson 3 weeks in a row. And I called usaminseijin submitting to me.
Now what is this TSUBAKI? I'm on mobile so I'll have to wait, but I'm hopeful this week so far...

---

And I also called Nezemarth submitting Hey Ya. :P

I just listened to Flowlight, and I think this song is alright. Much better than Road to G6. Lol.

In other words;


Sigh. Not again.

Braeden47, you need to stop submitting terrible songs. :/ Seriously, this is the third instance where you've submitted something that is just plain unsteppable without being a boring/terrible file. These kinds of songs being submitted in this contest (not necessarily by solely you) are pretty much ruining the heart of the competition, using up people's vetoes, and penalizing other people that don't deserve to be. While Sigatrev and Ghosts were okay (not sure about your Round E submission), songs like Imaginary/Scatman/Jordan (your original cut) cannot be stepped and be enjoyable files. I have the right to express that you haven't been submitting good songs to step and I don't appreciate them, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Yes, the purpose of this contest is to step things outside of your comfort zone, but there is a difference between getting assigned a song YOU (hypothetical you) don't like and a song that is just...terrible, completely unstepable. Just look at what chewi got (F!!K FACE). This song is yet another case where you have to end up with a bad file, veto, or sit out of the round. Heck, I can't even tell if this is supposed to be a SONG. It's just a cluttered mess.

Sorry if I come off as a rude prick. I have no hard feelings against you, Braeden, but this is the only way I can think of putting it.

I wonder who submitted this 'F!!K FACE'. This isn't even song

On the other hand I got probably my favourite Pop'n Music song. It's not really round-winning song material but still I will enjoying simming it very much.

Yeah, that sure was a collection of noises. Is it also a Braeden47 submission? I think chewi should be allowed a backup substitution.

---

I'm beginning to think Braedon is trying to sabotage the contest. Or sabotage the participants.

---

Let's try not to get carried away. I'm having the benefit of doubt and saying that maybe he just has an irregular taste in music, songs that aren't fit for Stepmania, and he doesn't realize it. He should probably find better songs to send, though.

Your doubt is hogwash; it's sabotage. Calling it now.

---

I think some of you are getting too into this...

---

I think we should just leave it to vincentw and/or Scarz to determine if a contestant is sabotaging (intentional or not) the game for other people. Until then, let's just work on what we've been assigned with and see what we can do with them.
