Z-I-v Summer Contest 2016

Cherry Blossom
Pretty solid, though there are some misrhythms in one section.
Pretty much the same comments as

Doki-Doki
I very much enjoy this.
Very nice!

Don't be Afraid Myself
idk if I'd call this a 10. It's more of a hard 8. The only hard part is figuring out where to double-step. Nonsensical double-stepping is noticeably reduced IMO in this chart, but there are still numerous sections where it's not really organized well. Also I really wouldn't recommend 3 (or even two) 16th notes on the same arrow, especially when the last of those is a jump. It seems to be a common theme in your charts and that's not a good thing.

FAKE
Well you actually did a really good job creating a chart with no doublesteps (well there was one, and I can excuse one). The downside of this file for me was the repetitiveness of the chart. While 8th stream is good, I think certain patterns were overused. (The repeated crossovers, for example). Overall though, this is a huge improvement from your last file that I remember.

Got to be Certain
Definitely one of your most well-done charts. I really enjoy the rhythm choices throughout. Could've been a couple of Freeze Arrows that last for a beat, but otherwise I like it.

Hall of the Mountain Dude
Solid chart! Glad that we finally worked out the details of whether or not this should be allowed!
Didn't like a couple of the gimmicks (mainly the ending stop-starts) because I didn't feel that they fit well.

High School Never Ends
Chart was pretty good! Notes seemed to get more offsync (later) as the song went on. Pretty confident that the BPM needs some slight increasing.
(Tweaking it from a flat 160 to 160.120 is definitely a step in the right direction, though the notes got slightly early towards the end with this tweak.)

I'll Always Love You
Actually a pretty good ballad chart. I see you tried to force some spins here.

Light Velocity
Very nice chart! The gallop things were kinda odd to play, but overall the chart is really well done! Seems akin to PARANOiA survivor (MAX) with all the twisty patterns. *turns off x5.75 from playing I'll Always Love You* *also walks away with 2 Greats on keyboard at that speed* lol

Nothing's Over
Don't enjoy the song that much. Chart is...okay at best. Rhythms were okay, but patterns were a problem most of the time. Also definitely not a 9. It's maybe an 8
Still a very messy. Like with your other file, I don't thing you should be putting in 16th jacks (Up-Up-up for example). You have to be aware of how patterns flow together from section to section.

Pulse
Very nice!
Not liking the 32nds much, but otherwise really good.

RAIN
Some rhythms kinda make sense, some don't. I don't really understand your patterning usage in some places. It seems you have a LEADING CYBER type pattern at the beginning, (which doesn't really make sense) and many other patterns that don't flow particularly well.

Reincarnation
Song's okay. Chart is generally good, but some parts were kinda weird. The forced spin patterns earlier in the song felt unnecessary and the 16th trills seemed to make the difficulty much higher than it needed to be.
I think it's a little better than the chart, but I don't like the song much at all.

Spear of Justice
Pretty good, but the rhythms in the beginning half-speed section was really weird. Didn't really agree with the small slowdowns that were scattered throughout the song.
This is a really good chart! by far, your best! (still don't enjoy the half-speeds though)

Still Alive
Interesting song...Probably qualifies as a 14 X-scale at least. For some reason, syncing is an issue for me.

Swift Planet
peculiar song...Patterns are once again much better than last week/file. Rhythm choices were a bit odd in some places, but you're definitely showing signs of improvement.
Also, graphics are pretty cool

Zzz
Not too bad, but it could still use some polishing in terms of patterns.
