Z-I-v Summer Contest 2017 [GAME OVER, YEAAAHHH]

Yeah. It's 'at the time the song was made'.

---

We've reached the halfway point of the contest, and it's time to see the current leaderboard.



Still only two winners across five weeks! However, it's guaranteed that the upcoming week will see at least one new stepper joining the VIP Room. Who will they be?
We welcome Benpai to the top 15! Now, at least 9 points are needed to enter. In other news, ddrstepper hits the Top 5 with only two entries!

Tune in next week when we'll start to announce the points from the televote.

Do I ever get a fucking point in this contest?

I honestly thought so too, but when I looked around for a rule like that I didn't see any mention about song length
(Plus its only a couple seconds over anyway)

Yeah, usually it's written in the first post but I noticed it wasn't there anymore.

uh

what the hell? fk me you typed out two minutes and thirty seconds so my ctrl-f didn't work

Damn, I can't read.

I'm guessing the song must have been released after 31, December 1900?

---

sis, you didn't even vote

Yeah, it's a DQ, I'm afraid. Sorry.

---

Rules are rules. I hate to drop the DQ hammer but it is breaking the rules. Just watch it next time.

Well it would be 1899, since 1900-1999 would (according to this contest) be the 20th century.
Technically, the 20th century would go from Jan 1, 1901 to Dec 31, 2000, but it makes things a lot easier to just make the 20th century the same as the 1900s.

Before I forget/it gets too late, here are my rankings for [Rock Out] now that results are public! Again, if you have any Q's regarding your placement, shoot me a PM.

Oh yeah, by the way, post for our ZIv Academy III entry:


CuzcoBlocko: , , , CDTitle
Nezemarth: Song cut + sync, , , Graphics

This one's very interesting. It's a soft-rock track from 1978 that ended up having a lot of stepping potential. An abundance of 16ths on heavy with twisty patterns and step-jumps thrown in. At the speed it goes at (average of 105), I don't think it should be a red light. Maybe

Collaborating with Nezemarth was very fun, hope you enjoy!

I just wanted to publicly say that overall I immensely enjoyed the song choices for [Rock Out]. Splendid job, everyone! Can't wait to play through [ZIv Academy III]. It's typically my favorite week.

Welp.

Is there some way to salvage our submission if we just reupload a slightly shorter cut?

Regardless, I would like some feedback on the chart even if it gets DQed (In the form of ghost points at least, or if you want to, an actual review)
