[discovolante]

First done, as usual.

How I'm rating-

How well does it fit your theme (ITG, KB etc.)? Possible 2 points
How well do you utilize the solo layout? Possible 3 points
Is it technically well made (good flow, etc.)? 5 points
Is it enjoyable? 10 points

For files with changes, the last 10 points will be split up, so 5 to enjoyability, 5 to the overall rating of the changes. For new Oni files this will not apply because they are different songs entirely. Also I'm not really gonna count art towards "change" points because that's not being judged here.

Well? GANBARE!

[KB DIVISION]

Arti - Paranoia Sky
Theme: 2/2 Very solid in this department. True, it's not a very hard KB simfile, but it's a really 9-like nine. I'd prefer o play it on keyboard over pad, so I guess that's my main sway here. Good job.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good job, I could see myself pouding away happily here on the keyboard. Goes all over the place.
Technical: 4/5 You say this is pad-doable, but honestly I think some of the crossovers would be too difficult to manage even for indexers. Fine otherwise.
Enjoyability: 9/10 Really liked the use of hands, mines, and the corner arrows. A lot of fun!
Overall: 18/20 Good.

Eggman - Domino
Theme: 2/2 Yep, this is very solid keyboard stuff. 32nds and long runs everywhere.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Obviously really good. All the crossovers work here as they would on pad, while that was not necessary it was a very nice touch.
Technical: 5/5 Perfect. No issues here at all.
Enjoyability: 5/5 HAHA THIS IS FUN JUST TO WATCH! Good job in this department!!
Changes: 5/5 Basically what I would've done, all the BPM changes taken out. Nice. : P
Overall: 20/20 Very fun file.

[ITG DIVISION]

Akira - Inner Universe
Theme: 2/2 It's got hands and mines. Seems to be everyone's bare-bones description of ITG stepfiles here, but this is still accurate.
Use of Solo: 2/3 Good in some parts, not in others. There's a very long stretch of 8th notes with no use of corner arrows, then they come up randomly. Fun with the hands though.
Technical: 2/5 Some very ugly crossovers here. This would fly in the KB division but not here. Some of these would have you facing worse than backward. Same with the hands.
Enjoyability: 3.5/5 The hands were a little much, and I didn't like a lot of the direction, but overall I think I would have some fun playing this.
Changes: 3.5/5 Okay, for one thing the "proper synching" here is not correct. It's still off, though not as bad as it was to begin with. Video's nice though.
Overall: 13/20 Could be better.

alphabet55 - Jum (should there be a P here? haha)
Theme: 2/2 Hands and very inventive use of mines.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good with the jumps.
Technical: 2/5 One of the run ends reaaal gross here, but it goes into a jump so I guess it works. Really don't like the rhythm you're using during the chorus, it's like an 8th note off if you ask me. Kind of fangly backwards hands. Technically fine otherwise.
Enjoyability: 3/5 LOVE what you did with the "little bit higher now" part. The rest was pretty mediocre or just kind of dumb (the choruses).
Changes: 5/5 New art's pretty good, sync doesn't seem any different but if it works better for you then fine by me.
Overall: 15/20 Not bad.

discovolante - Little Little Princess

Amazing file, creator should be serviced orally.

hamm - Together
Theme: 2/2 ITG-like to a T! The one hand didn't really fit but you don't get docked in this category for that. : P
Use of Solo: 3/3 Super creative, nice job.
Technical: 4/5 Good, no doublestepping and very fluid crossovers. As usual your file flows very well. 32nds almost felt too accurate... like they were unnecessary. Hand seemed totally extraneous here. Minor qualms though.
Enjoyability: 10/10 Jumps were very creative in parts. Loved the runs. This is just fun overall. I like it!
Overall: 19/20 Hamm is a G!

Ike Pie - Tori no Uta (Noise Rave)
I just want to say that this the funniest remix I've ever heard. Why make a speedcore remix of such a pretty song? I laughed out loud when it got to the original sample.
Theme: 2/2 ITG like fo sho.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good use of arrows overall, not 100% wow but still good.
Technical: 4/5 Basically good. Nothing stands out to me as technically poor except for the ends of some runs.
Enjoyability: 7/10 Well, some of it is fun, but a some of the time I wasn't really feeling it. I did enjoy it though.
Overall: 16/20 funniest remix ever.

jammitch! - Kagekiha
Theme: 2/2 Super ITG
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good use of the arrows in a very different way than all of the ITG files so far: you have a lot of fun crossovers here.
Technical: 5/5 Fine mostly. Couldn't find anything wrong.
Enjoyability: 3.5/5 I think you probably should've eased up on the crossovers here, because this is actually feeling like a borderline 12 to me. Not bad, though, just could've been toned down verrry slightly.
Changes: 5/5 Appropriate and somewhat superior to the original.
Overall: 18.5/20

Rob00996 - Video Out C
Theme: 2/2 ITG, sure. Very ITG.
Use of Solo: 1.5/3 At times too sparse and at others too overdone. I didn't like any of your hands with the solo arrows.
Technical: 5/5 New BPM halving is perfect, should've been there to begin with.
Enjoyability: 3/5 Mostly fun, some parts were very repetetive and I can't see anyone not cursing that BPM trick at the end. Also a few of the hands were very unenjoyable.
Changes: 2.5/5 BPM gimmicks suck. The stupid little burp in the middle was no different. The negative BPM trick was, while unnecessary, and at least a little retarded, kinda cool.
Overall: 14/20 Alright I guess.

sanchny - DREAM OF YOU
Theme: 1.5/2 Way too DDR during the verses. Fine otherwise.
Use of Solo: 1.5/3 Nothing particularly interesting or unorthodox here.
Technical: 2/5 Gigantic gap in difficulty. Goes from being from an 11 to like an 8. More pronounced than in the original steps, which is saying something. Ok otherwise.
Enjoyability: 5/10 I find it very hard to enjoy a chart that doesn't know how difficult it is, or should be. Seriously, from stepping easy 8th notes to retardedly hard 16th-note runs does not a solid 11 make. Or a solid stepfile. Sorry.
Overall: 10/20 Not so good.

Xythar - Inspiration
Theme: 2/2
Use of Solo: 3/3 Very good with the runs. Creative patterns.
Technical: 4/5 Good, but the hands are really forced. Shouldn'tve been there if you ask me.
Enjoyability: 5/5 Must be fun. Love the runs...
Changes: 5/5 New end is basically perfect. Nice cutting to ITG length.
Overall: 19/20 Almost perfect...

[DDR BRACKET 1]

alphabet55 - 24
Theme: 2/2 Very DDR... except this is a 6 that is actually easier than a 7, which as you know DDR has none of. : P
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good, though not mindblowing.
Technical: 5/5 Really good, everything feels tight.
Enjoyability: 10/10 Wow. A solo chart that I can pass. Finally. This is fun, I'd probably pick playing it over anything else here.
Overall: 20/20 Excellent, I love it.

Ike Pie - Have you ever been Mellow
Theme: 2/2 Solid. 4th note doublestepping even.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good but not supercreative. Nothing to dock points on.
Technical: 5/5 Really feels like a ddr chart, so I guess that counts for a lot here.
Enjoyability: 9/10 I personally had a few problems with the long 8th note runs but it was really fun otherwise.
Overall: 19/20 Fun fun fun in the sun.

jammitch! - Identity
Theme: 2/2 Supersolid DDR. I could really feel it.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good.
Technical: 5/5 Nothing wrong here.
Enjoyability: 5/5 Yep basically I can see myself playing this frequently, even though the song really bugs me. Good stuff.
Changes: 5/5 Just fine. The cut really works.
Overall: 20/20 Hooray

PkerUNO - Emoticons
Theme: 2/2 Good.
Use of Solo: 1.5/3 Uhhh could've been a little more here. As in I could've seen this as a non-solo chart too, which is a no-no. Didn't quite grab me as a solo chart.
Technical: 4.5/5 Well made if slightly inconsistent.
Enjoyability: 8.5/10 Fun except for some questionable jumps.
Overall: 16.5/20

sanchny - Disco Dog
Theme: 2/2 DDR enough.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good.
Technical: 3/5 Didn't go for the doublestepping here. At all.
Enjoyability: 8/10 Fun minus some doublestepping...
Overall: 16/20

Blox/TheBaldOneMpls - Gasolina (Delaction Remix) (Solo Style)
Theme: 2/2 Very DDR.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good, some crossovers we haven't seen yet.
Technical: 2.5/5 Oh man right during the part after the slowdown there is some heinous doublestepping that I can't not dock points for. It's very uncomfortable. Also I felt like the music wasn't being followed very well during that part. Basically it's fine pre-slowdown and during the slowdown, but after that it gets kind of hairy.
Enjoyability: 3/5 I really don't go for doublestepping. If you couldn't tell.
Changes: 3/5 Didn't see the point in the new BPM stuff. It's not bad, but it was hardly necessary.
Overall: 13.5/20

the_ditz - Fuku Wa Uchi
Theme: 2/2 Quite DDR.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good. I like it.
Technical: 5/5 Fine. Some crossovers were questionable but upon replaying them they are fine.
Enjoyability: 4/5 Some of the crossovers were uncomfortable, which I didn't really like. The rest was pretty good.
Changes: 5/5 Feels more onsync now, which is good.
Overall: 19/20 Awesome

[DDR BRACKET 2]
#Infinity - fffff
Theme: 2/2 DDR fo sho.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good, liked the jumps and the runs.
Technical: 4/5 Way too much emphasis on stream, like more than necessary. Good though.
Enjoyability: 8/10 Mostly fun except for that long ass stream of 8ths.
Overall: 17/20

Akira - High School Love
Theme: 2/2 DDR to da max.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Ok you obviously tried to make a bonafide solo chart here and you succed madly. Would give extra if I could.
Technical: 5/5 Great.
Enjoyability: 10/10 So enjoyable... one of the best I've played so far.
Overall: 20/20, but FYI the art isn't a huge step up from before. : P

Dark Luke - Over There
Theme: 1.5/2 Hmm, I actually wasn't feeling the DDR too much here. Which is a shame because it's a pretty good file.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good stuff.
Technical: 5/5 Feels like a good hard solo chart. Makes waves which is very nice.
Enjoyability: 9/10 Mostly fun. Liked the slowdown a lot more than the speedup however.
Overall: 19.5/20 JUST shy...

pokecapn and Azure Haights - Radio Star
Theme: 2/2 Does a good job of making a 4th mix Solo chart.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Yeah, for sure. Love the jumps
Technical: 5/5 Good stuff, nothing bizarro here thank god.
Enjoyability: 10/10 Haights and capn 4 lyfe.
Overall: 20/20 hooray

Shortysnmn2010 - Bad Boy (Alex M vs Marc Van Damme Remix)
Theme: 1/2 DDR like mostly, though I think there was alternately too much emphasis on stream and syncopation to be 100% ddr-like. ;(
Use of Solo: 3/3 Nice, so flowy.
Technical: 5/5 GREAT! Nice stuff, this is very solo styled, which is funny because you didn't try any beforehand, haha.
Enjoyability: 4/5 Those is some wacky jumps. And some sweet freezes. I liked it mostly but there were some parts that didn't quite grab me. Good though.
Changes: 5/5 Boo creepy foot doctor. Hooray on sync stepfiles.
Overall: 18/20 Fun fun.

will-i-am - Love is Eternity (SF Synth Trance Mix)
Theme: 2/2 More DDR-like than the original heavy chart so GFJ there.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Good, fun.
Technical: 3.5/5 Some of those gallops were quite off. Fine otherwise.
Enjoyability: 8/10 Could've been a bit more fun but still very good otherwise.
Overall: 16.5/20 Sidenote: I never realized how out of sync this song was. Did you do anything to it accidentally?

zeh - Samba Brazil
Theme: 2/2 Sure, very DDR.
Use of Solo: 3/3 Nice, I liked it.
Technical: 5/5 Good.
Enjoyability: 9/10 I enjoyed it but it wasn't 10 quality. That's all...
Overall: 19/20 Good!

Phew... that took a LONG time.
