"Let's drop the theme!" -Lucio Correia ddr Stepper
Oh. So he heard about Aegis not repeating the theme... and he did it himself.
I have something in the bank, but I desperately need sync help. Anyone mind helping me out? All the steps are done, but it's one of those fluctuating BPM songs.

I'll add it for you. Your votes are in bold, HMs in italic, and I'll include the missing +1s in blue.

Two seconds, that's something. Anyways, the above total has corrections. Because the Academy isn't complete without them.

Sorry for being a little late. Results will be appended later, as I'm currently in class lol. (UPDATE: Check out the nifty results post CuzcoBlocko made a few posts down, it's a lot cooler and nicer!!)

Theme this week will be [You Won't See This In DDR V]. The objective is simply to step a file in such a way that you wouldn't expect to see it in DDR. Whether that be because the lyrical content of the song is to risque, or if the file has non-DDR attributes such as certain gimmicks. Just like that last few YWSTIDDR weeks in the past few years lol. Have fun

---

This is MY house. :)

---

thanks to vincent as always for correcting totals left and right this week

---

You're welcome. Glad to be of help

Oh hey, this theme again. Hope to actually make it this time round.

I suppose, with a new theme, that it should be time for voting for the gimmick week files, right?

---

Yes.

...wow. Reached the podium. And finally beat Seedy Try (27 points).

Really, thank all of you (even the ones that only gave it an HM) for the votes! :D And once again, thank you Gameoson, for letting me collaborate with you to produce an amazing simfile to a lovely song I wanted to see but couldn't do myself. I can't say it enough. ^^;

Edit: Oh, I gotta say thank you to darkanine too, for motivating me to finish something I didn't actually give a chance. Writing the charts for JoaUG was great, better than I expected.

You are all great!


...oh dear. This theme. Expect some more unconventional stuff here, I don't want to just submit joke songs like the majority of the simfiles here probably will be...

Oh, and yes, that "Your best nightmare" joke was intentional.

Well... I'm gonna kick off the voting... first of all, majority of these songs were actually really fun to play, I was impressed! (though it probably won't bode well for me)

1 point to Color
2 points to Valkyrie
3 points to Resurrected (Zhomek Bootleg)
4 points to Skytoucher
And finally... Hyper Burst! 5 points!

HMs to Razor Sharp, Chururi Chururira, Let Me Hit It

Anyway, here's a results thingy I put together. Wanted to do it for fun. :P


Please tell me if there are any mistakes here because my goodness this took an hour to assemble. vincentw, how do you make these in less than 2 minutes?!

We should do a week like this again sometime. It was very fun and I can picture new and exciting combinations happening should a "ZIv Academy III" rolls around. :3

If I was to upload a song with an awful sync on purpose... would it be fine because of the theme or should I ask for help fixing it?

---

Bad sync =/= YWSTIDDR. Don't do it. I mean I doubt a file with bad sync would get many points anyway whether it was intentional or not.

---

Can I just ask what the HELL, aside from Dancemania and Bemani, would count as "you'll see this in DDR"? Because I'm legitimately having trouble picking a song here.

It's You Won't see this in DDR. Something that has no way in hell making it in a DDR game.

---

Adding to this, to be honest, any Touhou song has a legitimate chance that it will be in DDR, even if it's a crossover from another BEMANI game.

"Fuck sake don't fucking do it" list for YWSTIDDR:
Vocaloid
BEMANI Crossover
Touhou
Typical EDM
J-Pop
Zedd.
