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

Alright, I've been waiting for too long. Where's [ROUND I]?

---

Vincent probably passed out again after the tension of the Round I skeletons/Round H Submissions/Round G votes. Give another 5-6 hours for the next round to be underway, and everything should be swell. Rushing it would probably not be for the best...

---

In any case, I'm playing through the Round H files right now and will post my votes (assuming I finish the files before vincentw posts the results) once the all clear is given.

makaiso-ed STEAMPUNK Frankenstein, bg, bn and jacket finally added

Looks like I did not get my file done in time. Crap.

---

Feel free to submit it anyways, for our enjoment Your files are always welcome ~

I don't want to be the party-pooper but you just may have disqualified yourself from round. You overwrote the *.sm after the time limit and judges won't know if you hadn't submit empty *.sm file before the limit.

Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur. Happy kitty, Sleepy kitty, Purr Purr Purr

No, I can verify that SupremeX submitted his file before he added the graphics.

It's ok I only need six days

And here's everyone else:
(see spreadsheet for text version. NV: no vote • DQ: disqualified • NS: no steps • VT: vetoed)

ROUND I Shuffled List
Ah, shoot. This happened again. I lacked sleep these couple of days. Sorry, guys.
Oh, welcome to the game, Quickman!


There are 11 backups available. Everyone can contribute!
Due 18 January, 17:00 UTC: ROUND H votes, ROUND I steps, and ROUND J files.

Whoops. Kinda funny in retrospect how prophetic that post turned out to be.

If it makes you feel any better Cuzco that's the only mash-up I had planned anyway.

---

After a few listens, I think I have an idea of what to do with this one. At least it isn't Eurobeat (gross), so I'll give it a shot.
Almost makes me wish I hadn't used a veto to buy in last week, but I really love what I got and what I did with that, so here's to hoping Wicked Irie actually goes somewhere this week xD

Oh. I suspected it all along, but didn't wanna say anything.

Sorry for that "Fuck you" earlier, by the way.

And sorry for jinxing you too, sister's noise didn't win whoops.

Anyway, time to be the early voter yet again!



Song: Um...this song is...weird and irregular.
: I guess it was alright, but there were some weird BPM changes/warps....
: Yeah... yeah... I don't think this chart was necessary. It just feels like a mess. I mean, the song IS irregular, but I simply do not think you needed to include this chart. Sorry.



Song: Cute. :3 I wonder if this was from Vocaloid too...
: Very friendly. I like some of the spin gimmicks in this too. Yet another good 7 footer from you, HealingDMax300. And I sightread full combo'd this.



Song: Sounds very chillaxed and anime-isque. Fine with me. :P
: I hope this redeems me after I flopped in the previous round... Feeling good about this one. Hopefully the lack of jumps won't hinder this file, I thought it'd be a unique challenge.



Song: Wow, this one is cool and abstract.
: First, I just want to say I am proud you got a file in after you lost your previous one for the round. That's some true dedication. That being said, I think this one was good for the most part. However, there's still the doublestepping problem. I like your RHYTHMS but some of your patterns are doublestepped and have the player do weird spins otherwise. Anyway, this is way too easy to be a 9 in my opinion. It feels more like an 8.



Song: I wonder who submitted this. :P Anyway, this song is alright for me. Nice Nintendo VGM reminiscent of groovin'.
: Very nice and solid! I like it.



Song: Nice. I like it.
: Good as always. Those stops and BPM changes were just smooth, I liked the patterns here, it was just fun to do. Sightread FC.
: Also good. There are some cool spin patterns here and there.



Song: Waltz. Simple.
: I...can't put my finger on it, somehow, this seems a little off-sync.... The steps themselves are good, though.



Song: Hi Pentatonix. :P Nice to hear you again.
: Eh... I guess it was fine?... I did like some of the interesting swing streams at the beginning, but then we have that random slow section in the middle of the chart, and then the parts where a slow section WOULD be fitting are still normal. So dodgy gimmicks here.



Song: Gonna guess Chewi submitted this. Nothing to comment too much here. Except the lyrics are...pretty dirty.
: Good. Not much to say here, except interesting use of mines.



Song: Okay, so you got a third veto. THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH AHAHAHAHA#YJHASAE%$UT^EYTDJHNXGyjxsr7e5ukyjsef

: The steps here were fine and super friendly. I am really not sure what it is about your 6-7 footer heavies that are enjoyable, but they are.



Song: Ooh. I like this one. Very nice.
: Wow, those gimmicks... O.o Some of them symetrical (<3), but others are unusual, which results in some slight inconsistency. Anyway, I thought the steps here were good too.

The Trooper

Song: Not my cup of tea.
: The first gimmicks were okay, but the others were really rough. Steps were fine.
: Again, the gimmicks in the middle were wonky, but this was actually really cool. This is way too easy to be an 11, to be honest. I'd settle for a 9 footer, that 24th section is really easy to get past.



Song: Dubstep. Okay with me. I'm gonna guess brunobg24 submitted this.
: I was worried. However, I only had one good playing this the first time. Unlike the previous two songs, the gimmicks here were perfectly smooth, this wasn't filled with difficult streams, and this was just pretty great.



Song: Nice and mellow. I like it. :3
: Good. Very friendly, and there was only one strange section that I felt should've been 12ths instead of 32nds. I like the little spin gimmick around the middle of the chart, and that music video was cool.



Song: Lovely!
: Whoa, some of those gimmicks... While some are okay, there are others that can't be distinguished from ordinary sections (for instance the blue-yellow jump sections, they are inconsistent in gimmicks) and they are confusing. There's also some questionable patterning here.
: Very nice use of mines (especially at the beginning), but again, there are some strange patterns and awkward gimmicks that kinda set back the file for me. It's a shame because I like the song.

Dreamland submitted Psi Glory?
And Spork! submitted Superfabulous.
Well this is... interesting.
Also, I wonder if my obvious submission is obvious this week.
Because it certainly was the last two weeks.

Re:GENERATION is... a tricoro song by TAG.
Its genre is... EMOTIONAL SENTENCE, whatever that's supposed to mean.
The only question is, will it transfer into DDR?

---

It IS a mess. And I swear that I wish that i'd regret it sooner or later.

---

If you were unhappy with your steps, the best solution would've be to use a veto and see how that song goes instead. :P

Anyway, yeah, werewolf howls is gonna be a 10-13 footer boss song. Sorry, guys.

I did find one more section (the one with the 5-note 16th streams) where I felt that a slowdown would have made sense, but I didn't wan't to either make the chart to difficult to read (at 1-1.5x scroll speed) by using 32 notes, or omit those streams altogether... As an aside, there is a reason that I hope that whoever received my skeleton doesn't veto it.

---

I didn't feel like using a veto unless i really wanted to. And plus it was only 67 secs long so I just went ahead and got that out of the way, no matter how shit or irregular it was. :/

---

For some reason, I can't extract the audio file, . . .



. . . but that's okay, because after listening to the song online, I think I'll use my first veto here anyway.

---

Will this work?
