Maybe not even worth posting about since it's so minor but I updated my .sm since the preview length was weird. If you are also bothered by weird preview lengths grab the current one I guess. If you don't care about the precious preview integrity, everything else is still the same so you don't need to worry about it if you already have it downloaded.

[ORCHESTRAL GRAVIOL]
Guilty Destruction // DUALLELE (Akhuta & DJ TOTTO)
70-280 BPM / 1:45 / Beginner:3 Light:6 Standard:9 Heavy:10 Challenge:11
I didn't have time for doubles charts and I also couldn't do the stuff I wanted to do with <5 jumps/freezes. But still, I got six dishes down me:

- Your file must be an instrumental, no voices of any kind allowed.
- Your file must contain all difficulties, Beginner through Challenge.
- Your file must contain a slow down or speed up that is NOT 4x/2x/.5x/.25x the base BPM. The bit towards the end where it goes all 3/4 time is at 210 BPM.
- At least one of your charts has a notecount including jumps that is EXACTLY a multiple of 100. The Standard has 400 notes.
- The song must change time signature at least once. The time signature change must last at least 6.00 seconds. The end bit is in 3/4 and lasts over nine seconds.
- At least one of your charts must contain a max combo of exactly 573. Whether that's with jumps counting for 1 or 2 is up to you. The Challenge has 573 notes without jumps.
There are speed changes, be very careful.

Also, no idea what rating the Challenge is. 11? 12? Who knows.

Oh hey I actually did a thing. Check it out here:

BPM: 50-200 || Length: 1:52
Rated Light 5 (X7) | Heavy 10 (X15)

The two difficulties can be called Easy and Hard (like ITG), and would be labeled Light and Heavy
There are no vocals of any kind in this track. It is an original, intended as a demo track. (5ling5hot beat me to the idea though)
The Hard chart contains only 5 freeze arrows and 5 jumps. Each time one appears, something significant is sure to happen...
(Update: I may have completed a fourth dish but I'm not sure. There may be more 8th/16th than 4th steps in Hard.)

Not around here too often anymore, but I still play DDR & maimai!
My final contest run was in my signature so I guess I'll keep it here for those who wanna play my last few charts:

I've lost count of how many dishes I've consumed. Could be as many as 11.
...although I think four of them may have just been mozzarella sticks.

Instruction (feat. Demi Lovato) / Jax Jones
121 BPM
Old scale: Beginner 2 / Light 4 / Standard 6 / Heavy 8 / Challenge 10
X-scale: Beginner 4 / Light 6 / Standard 8 / Heavy 12 / Challenge 14

The man that frequently appears on household items now has a collab with Demi Lovato, and it's a hella good one. I was planning on stepping another Jax Jones song, but this one's probably more conducive to a stepchart imo.

Sorry about the awful banner. I'm bad at making graphics. It looks a lot better than anything I can make myself, and I didn't want to ask anyone else to make one for me.

I had a lot of fun with this theme. Even though only three dishes were required, I tried to tag onto as many as I could.

Dishes:

- Your file must contain 5 freeze arrows or fewer on its hardest singles chart. Zero freeze arrows!
- Your file must contain 5 jumps or fewer on its hardest singles chart. Zero jumps!
- Your file must contain all difficulties, Beginner through Challenge.
- Either the song title or the artist name contains the letter X.
- At least one of your charts has a notecount including jumps that is EXACTLY a multiple of 100. Beginner has 100 notes, light has 200 notes.
- Your hardest chart must contain more 8ths/12ths/16ths/etc than 4ths. 209 of the 536 notes are 4ths, so this song is about 39% red.

So that's six dishes in total.

This is an awesome theme! Feraligatr only wishes he can improve upon this.

Changes from 4/4 to 3/4 for the entire chorus and then some, then reverts back to 4/4.
I've not heard the song, but I've seen the chart and...it doesn't look 3/4. It looks like 4/4 with a 12th shuffle.

^ This is correct, the song doesn't go for 3/4, but there are triplets. It maintains 4/4 throughout the entire thing.

I'm going to have to double check this. This sounds AMAZING, and if you nail them all it's okay if you do a little vomit on the floor in celebration.

"Hello there, welcome to Fox Johansson Twistedspoons. Here at our restaurant, we offer only the finest selection in our pristine buffet. Our signature, Summer-exclusive buffet specials are of grand quality, the grandest of them all being our Grandolin. Rated 160 on the BPM scale & 11 on the Challenge scale, you will find that the Grandolin breakfast buffet is entirely instrumental, reflecting the quiet, classy ambience of our restaurant. Also, you shall be delighted to know that the Grandolin is also jump-free, for those wishing to pursue the jump-free diet, as per the case of a decent fraction of our patrons here. Lastly, the Grandolin has a flat rate price of 500 notes, a perfect number leaving no spare change behind, or requiring any unnecessary rounding for those who wish to stick to the multiples of 100. Alas, enjoy your dining experience here at Fox Johansson Twistedspoons."

UPDATE: "A food critic magazine has recently praised our Grandolin breakfast buffet for it's low 4th to non-4th ratio of 122:378, an agreeably healthy & delicious ratio indeed."

"Hi"
Hi.

It's week 10 so we're basically heading towards the finish line. Time to dish out a difficult theme; I know for sure that this will be outside of the comfort zone for many.

Week 10
[Tech Savvy]

Use the mentioned step techniques to fulfill the required points.
`These techniques include crossovers, spins, footswitches, etc.
`Each technique will have a different point value when used.
`Almost each technique will also have a maximum point value.
`Actually this document will explain things. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LcVxdcjg04pEUn3U1IAdtJwnptW_Wnuj1a4Ebv_M-A0/edit?usp=sharing

Examples of some technical charts from Summer's Contest 2017:
[Short] - Arcanes by Benpai (Footswitches, brackets, bursts)
[ZIV Academy III] - Amazing Mirage by Loodee/Rikame (Footswitches, sideswitches, crossovers)
[SloweRemix] - Rumble Kung-Fu Showdown by DigitalBasic (Crossovers, Jacks)
[SloweRemix] - Barbaroque by Mu-Box (Footswitches)
[Mighty No. 9] - Boss Rush by xRGTMx (Crossovers, brackets)

And some others that I can't think of on the top of my head. sorry lol
Good luck and kudos to those who will tackle this week.

If you have any questions or need clarifications, post here or PM me.


Also, you can still post Week 9 files until Monday 5pm UTC/1pm EST/10am PST. Do not post for Week 10 until after those times. Furthermore, please PM Pandemonium-X, Oni-91, or Feraligatr your votes! Thank you and good luck/have fun everyone!

Best wishes,
Feraligatr

Sorry, one difficulty only because I put off the file to complete more MAX-EXTREME RandomMovies (like this beauty) and before I knew it it was Sunday. :/ Hey, at least I uploaded for a week for once. Anyway...

So Gameoson sent me this as a possible choice for SloweRemix. I figured it could work, but ended up not completing it. Then it fit this week. Sweet.

Except actually, this isn't going to end well at all. Especially since this is what I can safely address as the hardest file I've made. Lots of streamy patterns, and then even some footswitches (and one side footswitch at the end) sprinkled in. This wasn't easy to step because of the monstrously complicated rhythms all across, carried by the piano, synth, bass, snare, a bunch of stuff. I honestly consider this an accomplishment, almost as if I'm stepping for the Simfile Shuffle again.

Um... enjoy!

Criteria hit:

*There's about 250 4th notes. This has 828 notes (going as far as 64ths in one really odd case).
*There's only 4 jumps in the file. I have expertise in creating jumpless files (Flowlight). XD The ones present follow after something in particular, see if you recognize it.
*The artist has an "x" in its title.
*I'm not sure, because of the weird sounds before the jumps, but this could also be an instrumental.

✓ Your hardest chart must be a 7 or lower.
✓ Your file must contain 5 freeze arrows or fewer on its hardest singles chart.
✓ Your file must contain 5 jumps or fewer on its hardest singles chart.
✓ Your hardest chart must contain more 8ths/12ths/16ths/etc than 4ths.

A fun 7.

If you downloaded this before this post, please redownload it. I forgot to change the file names in the SSC, so the video didn't work in SM5.
