Z-I-v Simfile Tycoon '18 [Thanks for participating!]

I'm really not sure what I'm doing anymore. Probably because I finally got outbid for the first time in the contest, but the song itself isn't too bad at all.

ENERGY SYNERGY MATRIX is up: https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/viewsimfile.php?simfileid=33880

I only had three days to put this together and the song was a nightmare to step (I should've just stuck to ABXY...) so only one difficulty. Sorry. I'll be back into full swing next week.

Remember, if you have trouble passing it, you can always use the music rate modifier to adjust it to a manageable speed for your feet. (I did this with Monkshood and Alone.)

I'll edit this later. Thanks to CuzcoBlocko for the song!
Fun fact: has 0 jumps. I think I forgot about it.

I don't see this song in the folder.

Forgot to submit a round F song so I wanna buy in to auctioning with a veto.

Fixed.


You received Amazing (Remix) for a minimum bid of $5. Now that song has been entered into the bidding pool.

Please check the Round F Song Folder with the updated songlist for this round.

3 pts - WILLY USE A BILLY... BOY (INSTRUMENTAL) (chewi)
3 pts - Sugar Glider (vincentw) (First thought: wow those gimmicks came out of nowhere. Second thought: actually this is really good. Got used to it as I played along)

1 pt - KISS CANDY POP (Daffa212162)

+5 Shock Me - This file was really fun to play, and it shocked me to find that it didn't have any points!
+4 ENERGY SYNERGY MATRIX - The gimmicks made this chart super fun to play, even though I had to replay it a few times to get them down.
+2 Find Me - This file turned out even better than I thought it would when I put it in the backup pile. Good job!
+2 We Are Number One - The sad thing is that Gameoson's "half-assed" files are still way better than mine . I like what you did with the various gimmicks in this song; it worked out pretty well.
+1 KISS CANDY FLAVOR - Comic Sans jokes aside, this was a pretty well-rounded file with virtually no errors that I noticed.
+1 Turn Around - This chart wasn't perfect, but the neat rhythms made it certainly fun to play.
HM Sugar Glider - The gimmicks were certainly interesting, but they made the chart a bit hard to play. Not that I didn't like them, they just could have been toned down a bit.

Due to this deadline falling right on Christmas, I will not be able to update bids onto the spreadsheet until around 2-4 hours after the deadline. Therefore, you might wanna increase your bids to secure a particular skeleton, or bid on a few other songs just in case. No bids will be accepted after the deadline. Good luck, and happy holidays!

My votes (fixed):

+4- Narkotik Kal
+3- ENERGY SYNERGY MATRIX
+2- KISS CANDY FLAVOR (I prefer the chart to the chart.)
+2- We Are Number One
+1- I Can't Take it Anymore (Very interesting charts... It's unfortunate how the warps make the charts fall out of sync on Stepmania 3.9.)
+1- Sugar Glider
+1- Shock Me (On the chart, beat 302.5 seems to produce a very jarring doublestep, but otherwise a good chart.)
+1- Turn Around (A mostly competent chart, with a few interesting pattern choices.)
HM- 東京盆踊り2020（マクドナルド）
HM- Find Me
HM- Willy Use a Billy... Boy (Instrumental)
