On another note, sister's noise is going to be the winner of Round G. Calling it now because EVERY file Gameoson gives a 5 to has won their rounds so far without fail.
IIRC someone last year said something like "Every file Player X gives a +5 always wins" and the file that Player X gave a +5 to in that same round ended up not winning. Good job, jinx.

Yeah... I think that was me too with xRGTMx. But it's worked with you six times in a row, it only worked with him for three.
But hey, your file ended up winning in that round instead, so...

Also, another issue which we would like to address is that Braeden47 was not the one to submit the file and that accusing him of doing so was a bit unfair to Braeden47.

I didn't want to believe Braeden submitted that "song" until it was confirmed as I started to find it a little bit...harsh people were full on accusing him of sabotaging the contest.

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.
This post never happened?
On your subject of him throwing songs in that are always bad, I can probably count the amount of people who think Jordan is terrible on one hand and the other two weren't necessarily universally hated either.

Yeah, but F!!K FACE isn't mentioned anywhere in that sentence. And just because the song is terrible and unsteppable doesn't mean Braeden47 sent it. Road to G6 is a joke but it couldn't have been him because he wasn't in the Round G shuffle and it wasn't from the backup pile.
For the three songs I specified;
Imaginary was a bad cut at 128 kps, half of it was build up, the other half didn't even have a snare/clap/backbeat, just a loud bass drum. This song is really repetitive. And there were barely ANY 16ths in it (only in one section). There was simply no way for me to make this an interesting stepfile, and I'm certain I'm not the only one that would've veto'd it.
Jordan definitely isn't bad. It's not my cup of tea, but it's still interesting. But, the cut that he submitted (not Lisek's recut) was also 128 kbs and the cut was very lazy, it begun and ended abruptly as if he simply took a 1:50 chunk of the full version (interestingly, it says it was created and modified all the way back in 2010).
Scatman (Extreme Splitter Rmx), as I've found out, was a stolen cut from Osu! (and Sigatrev was also a stolen cut from Stepmania). I really advise against doing this. But seriously, as many others have stated, Scatman isn't correctly stepable without being filled with 250 BPM 16th dumpstreams and has barely any musical value. usaminseijin managed to sort of pull it off, but it's still not the best file.
Anyway, this is all I'm saying for the matter.

Chiming in real quick here,
I don't see at all why taking a cut from somewhere else would be a problem at all. As long as the cut is good, where it comes from is irrelevant, right?

I don't know, I just find it SLIIIIIIGHTLY tacky. For instance, chewi pointed out that my cut for With you... was a little low quality since I grabbed it from YouTube. An actual rip exists here. Now, I COULD have submitted the same exact mp3, but I felt like it would be stealing from another Z-I-v member. I didn't want to do it, so I just went with the YouTube route. I thought it wasn't noticeable.

You're afraid it would be stealing from another ZIv member if you took a cut from a Sota Fujimori song? You're stealing more from the song artist than you are a member. Don't sweat it.
Post #950 · Posted at 2016-01-05 07:22:29pm 9.4 years ago
@Cuzco Ok, but consider that that member probably wouldn't (and shouldn't) have cared the slightest had you given his/her cut to me. And even if they had, that's a terrible excuse to send someone a poor audio quality file for their skeleton. Sounds like you're seriously prioritizing the wrong things here lol

ROUND G - Let me know if anything needs clarifying.
Happy Synthesizer - Nice easy file.
Pretty straight forward. The chart reminded me a little bit of EDM Jumpers (from the 12/24/15 update for DDR 2014) with the offbeat 16th streams. 5 Perfects
Well-synced.
Hesperides - whoa those gimmicks are a lot more jarring than I initally thought they would be after previewing them in C-mod conditions (Beats on mobile). The chart goes well with the music. But some of the patterns seemed a bit harsh for what you called a 16. It's gotta be more of a 17, IMO. No 16 has 16th streams at 200 BPM that require a lot of body movement and rotation. Overall, I do like the file. For me, it's fun to figure out how gimmicks work (i.e. how to figure out and perfect the timing)
I'm guessing Gameoson or Dreamland200 submitted this (based on simfiles in the past contests)
Indian Summer - i would've kept the majority of the file at 85 BPM and also add some mini-slowdowns in a couple of spots. I don't think 170 BPM fits this song at all.
What you have is not terrible, but it's not standout good either. During the part where you used 16ths, the patterns could use some work. L-U-R-D doesn't work well at all on a pad for instance.
There were also a few more interesting rhythms that could have been utilized as well and a lot of jumping doesn't really fit the song IMO.
Jolokia - Okay song
Chart is decent. I had trouble with the rolls, though the first time around. I'll probably figure them out eventually. Very well-synced. I was able to get 6 Perfects (1 Great) on keyboard.
Last Christmas (Single Version)
I'm not digging the chart for this song. I'd prefer steps that go more closely to the vocals tbh.
Mitsuboshi **
I liked the parts where you accented the strong XX-X (idk what they're called in terms of instruments) I don't think the speed changes here were really necessary. I think it would've been a little better without them. I feel like the chorus would have fit better as a stream, but that's probably just me.
Road to G6 - interesting wobbly gimmicks , if you can even call them gimmicks. They're more like visual effects.
The
chart isn't bad. There aren't any doublesteps, though some of the patterns have you facing backwards (or almost at least) and it's kind of awkward.
is just lol. It literally goes to nothing, but I guess that's the point.
Sister's Noise
This was one of my favorites
I might have tweaked one little thing during the chorus/preview section. I might've used 4th-4th-4th-8th-4th-8th-4th-16th-8th-4th instead of 4th-4th-16th-8th-4th-8th-4th-16th-8th-4th to make it flow slightly better. Other than that and that one part after the two 8th Freezes, This was really good.
Superfabulous -
I have mixed feelings about
. I liked certain parts of the chart, but not all of the chart.
This was nice. I'm not usually a fan of rolls, but I think they were alright in this song and chart
The Night -
Song is okay. It reminds me a bit of Linkin Park tbh.
I kinda wish that some of the chart went "partially" to the instruments (drums). I guess
covers some of that, but I had other ideas in mind.
Veo Lu Sluice -
This is definitely your best file. I was actually really impressed the first time I played it.
It hink this would have fit better as a
chart.
I actually really like the
chart. It's kind of what I was looking for in an easier version of the
chart, just without the mines.
VIP - The song is kind of nice. I'm guessing that The Legendary DJXYZ submitted this (b/c Enamel from SC 2015) The gimmicks definitely felt unnecessary here. I don't think there was a dramatic enough change in the music to warrant any speed changes.
I also think this is overstepped. There's a little too much 8th stream
Wildshox!! - After listening to the song preview, I was worried I wouldn't like this one. The song is more dynamic than I thought it would be and it's pretty fun.
I really liked this. It's one of my favorites this round!

Wow, and I thought my ROUND H submission was obvious.
All half time segments minus the gradual slowdown at the end were built in the skeleton.

Is a pattern like this okay?

You step on the left arrow above m25 with your left foot, and trace how your feet would hit the rest of the arrows. Note: The up arrow on m26 has you face backwards before you return to forward facing.
