7. Right Now [RNOW]

STEPCHARTS: 2.5 / 6

Light - 0 / 1

Stock Light chart. However, it feeled really, really boring, with a sheer lack of patterns coupled with double-stepping issues. Even if it IS a light chart, there should be variety on the steps.

Standard - 0.5 / 2

Pretty boring. Although there was a good variety in the steps, it felt really boring, since most of the song had me facing LEFT and only LEFT. You want to move the player around-- just having him face one side will most likely bore him. Try to improve on the variety of the steps. It'd be a lot better that way.

Heavy - 2 / 3

Pretty light, but it does go with the fairly relaxed energy of the song. However, there were several double-stepping problems that didn't exactly match the flow of the song. Thankfully, the steps pretty much fit into the strong pretty well. Not bad, but it could've been a lot better.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 2.25 / 4

Graphics and Videos: 0.5 / 1

Nice bg, gave me the idea this is great for disco. However, laziness in your BN gets you a deduction. Sorry.

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 1.25 / 2

Pretty good song, great for dancing, however, the 5+ idle seconds at the start of the song aren't exactly great stuff to put, and that could really bore some players. Other than that, pretty good.

Fun Factor - 0.5 / 1

I might revisit this sometime. The song's pretty relaxing, but its not exactly the kind I think I'd play every time.

YOUR SCORE: 5 / 10 (rounded up)

8. Sakura Kaduki [SKRK]

STEPCHARTS: 2.75 / 6

Light - 1 / 1

Stock Light chart. The moderation in the notes is a lot like the relaxing mood of the song. Pretty good job.

Standard - 0.5 / 2

Kinda average. You might want to re-check this one: I noticed several double-stepping errors throughout the song. They ruined what could have been a good flow of steps. In addition, it seemed too karaoke for me. You followed the song too much-- its a good idea to lighten up, and not have to place steps everywhere. Due to this, the chart felt pretty boring.

Heavy - 1.25 / 3

Good flow. However, over-karaoke stepping kinda ruined the flow IMO. I noticed a lot of repetitive patterns, several bars of them, especially in the middle of the song (chorus). It went on for several bars; it might be nice to vary things a bit. In addition, the over-karaoke stepping led to rampant freezes, especially isolated ones during long freezes which didn't look really good, especially when playing the song. Overall, pretty average; just lighten up on the karaoke and add some variety-- this chart can be great. You do get extra points, for very little foot-synch errors.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 2.7 / 4

Graphics and Videos - 0.8 / 1

I found the graphics pretty relaxing to look at. I just found the bg and banner unconventional, given that you put the guy who made the bg on it. However, I don't think you should have added those other switching bgs. Still, nice work.

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 1.5 / 2

For once, a song that is danceable and relaxing. The edit was pretty good, though I'm not sure about that stop in the song. Otherwise, its pretty good.

Fun Factor - 0.4 / 1

I guess I'll revisit this one when I stressed. The song is pretty relaxing, and this'll keep me coming back sometime

YOUR SCORE: 5.45 / 10

9. Seasons of Love (Gomi's Lair Club Remix) [SOLG]

STEPCHARTS: 2.8 / 6

Light - 0.4 / 1

Okay... not bad. The flow was good, but there were double-stepping errors and unnecessary steps. First, you might want to re-check your foot-sync, since it can ruin the flow of the song. Also, please remove some of the freezes. There are WAY TOO MANY of them.

Standard - 1.9 / 2

Fun chart. Although there were double-stepping errors, the step placement was great for freestyle. I felt the isolated freezes actually worked here. Personally, the Standard chart was better than your Heavy chart.

Heavy - 0.5 / 3

Freezes, freezes, freezes. Felt like an Ultramix chart-- karaoke, double-step laden (middle) and freeze-laden (everywhere0. Now, try to vary the kinds of steps you put. Try to look for more interesting patterns. The song had potential, especially since it was meant to be danced.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 3.6 / 4

Graphics and Videos - 0.6 / 1

Great background, iffy banner. The background gave me an idea of the urban theme of the movie / musical the song was originally from. However, the banner was... generic.

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 2 / 2

Very danceable song-- and to think, the original Seasons of Love could already be given a great stepchart pattern! The song edit was really good-- you took the best part of the song, which had plenty of energy. Excellent work.

Fun Factor - 1 / 1

I will play this song for freestyle. A Lot. Good job on Standard-- and given the catchiness of the song, I'll go back to this.

YOUR SCORE: 6.4 / 10

10. Tanuk Tanuk Tun [TTTN]

STEPCHARTS: 0 / 6

Light - 0 / 1

One near-continuous 4th-note stream with repetitive patterns. Really boring, and for a light chart, it has double-stepping issues. Ouch.

Standard - 0 / 2

Arrghh... this feels more like a Heavy chart. The steps aren't exactly the things we'd see in a Standard chart, and they were both off-sync and double-step ridden to boot. The flow was pretty bad, and it really, really was boring. Please re-analyze your chart.

Heavy - 0 / 3

One huge mess. Not only were the steps kinda off-sync, but they didn't go well with the rhythm, especially the jumps, which were pretty ridiculous IMO. In addition, the foot-sync and step flow were both horrible. Re-do this stepchart. For now, I'm sorry, i'm giving this an egg.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 0 / 4

Graphics and Videos - 0 / 1

The bg and bn were really fuzzy and didn't look pretty at all; the background was also non-standard, with the artist name also written.

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 0 / 2

Personally, i didn't think the song was danceable. It had a lot of a cappella portions, with a little percussion. What made it worse was that some steps seemed off-sync, and that the song edit was ended too abruptly-- the last part didn't sound good at all.

Fun Factor - 0 / 1

This isn't a joke file? Wow... if not, sorry, but I'm NOT touching this ever again. The stepcharts really need a lot of work.

YOUR SCORE: 0 / 10

11. This is Love [TILV]

STEPCHARTS: 2.7 / 6

Light - 1 / 1

Stock Light chart. Well-executed, and given the song, the freezes actually work. Pretty good job.

Standard - 1 / 2

Not bad-- the flow's pretty good, and I can actually forgive the double-stepping for this chart, since its slow at 116 bpm. Anyway, you might want to work out some more interesting patterns-- this is pretty much the problem of this chart-- its kinda boring.

Heavy - 0.7 / 3

The flow is good, but its pretty much the only thing going for it. Its a pretty relaxed song, so the runs don't really go well with it. Try to lighten up-- its a 110-ish bpm song that isn't exactly very intense, so try to relax a little bit. Also, I saw really annoying double-stepping errors, especially when some of the jump->freezes break out. Try to fix them up, and try to lighten up-- this could be better.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 2 / 4

Graphics and Videos - 1.5 / 2

Nice and sample BN and BG. However, there are two gripes with the BG: one, it blocks the lyrics (either edit the BG or the LRC), and two, I can't see some parts of the song title in the BG (unconvential, too-> you don't usually see artist names on the BG.)

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 1 / 2

Though I can grasp the danceability of the song, I just can't get myself to like your cut. That fade-out on the last part didn't sound very good. Try to re-edit it. Its kinda abrupt.

Fun Factor - 0.5 / 1

Great chill-out simfile. I'll play this occassionally-- especially when stressed.

YOUR SCORE: 4.7 / 10 (you missed the round up by .05)

12. Together [TOGE]

STEPCHARTS: 4.6 / 6

Light - 1 / 1

Stock Light charts. This is where the isolated freezes actually fit the song. Nothing to criticize. Good work here.

Standard - 1.1 / 2

Not bad. The flow was pretty good, but some of the steps, especially the isolated freezes, didn't seem to go with anything in the song. There were a few foot-sync errors as well, but they weren't too much to really kill your score. Just re-analyze your freezes-- it'd be much better if you re-checked them.

Heavy - 2.5 / 3

Great stuff. The patterns really suited the flow of the song, and they reminded me of the steps of other smileDK songs. There was one minor problem: there were a few double-stepping errors throughout the entirety of the song. Still, excellent work. Just re-check your foot sync, and this chart will be perfect.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 3.2 / 4

Graphics and Videos - 1 / 1

The bg and bn really felt feminine, and looked really cute IMO. The videos seemed to give me a feeling of love and togetherness, especially the Emi & Rage scene. Great work.

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 1.5 / 2

Great choice of song; great eurodance song, and it really sounded cute. However, the edit was a little rough around the edges. That abrupt ending needs to be edited a bit.

Fun Factor - 0.7 / 1

I'll play this every once in a while, with the cuteness factor, nice charts and all.

YOUR SCORE: 8 / 10 (rounded up)

13. Way of Life [WOLF]

STEPCHARTS: 1.25 / 6

Light - 0 / 1

Pretty boring. Composed of long 4th-note runs for the most part. Try to add more step variations-- it'd really help in keeping the player's interest.

Standard - 0.5 / 2

Convoluted, and almost didn't feel like a Standard chart if it wasn't a slow song. A lot of the song seems to be composed of 8th-note runs. In addition, there were some freezes that didn't seem to go well with the song, especially one in the start with that awkward "UP-UP-DOWN while holding RIGHT" pattern. The double-stepping errors don't help this one, either. Try to clean up the chart-- address these issues.

Heavy - 0.75 / 3

Plenty of potential for a great chart. However, this potentital wasn't seen in the actual chart. First of all, there were plenty of annoying double-stepping errors which really kill the flow at some points, especially in the early parts. Next, it felt way too karaoke-- especially some of the freezes. They didn't seem to go well with the song-- try to cut down on them. Finally, there seemed to be way too many steps for a chill-out song. Try to lighten up.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 2.9 / 4

Graphics and Videos - 0.3 / 1

The BN and BG text were near-invisible, and they were unrelated to the video, which is pretty much the only reason you're getting points here.

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 2 / 2

Good chill-out dance tune, and the cut was pretty good. Nothing to criticize here.

Fun Factor - 0.6 / 1

I'll come back a good deal, mostly for the video.

YOUR SCORE: 4.15 / 10

14. Wild Thing, Poor Boy [WTPB]

STEPCHARTS: 5.6 / 10

Light - 0.8 / 1

Great for the most part. The patterns were good to step, but sometimes, it felt convoluted. A little less steps could be better, but its good nonetheless. Just try to NOT go nuts on Light charts-- its not the kind of chart where you'd put a ton of steps.

Standard - 2 / 2

Excellent. The flow was great, and it seemed to have freestyle potential. Step variety was pretty good for Standard; basically, nothing to criticize here. Excellent work.

Heavy - 2.8 / 3

Energetic steps, this one. Pretty fun, and the flow was excellent-- steps flowed well with the song, very little foot-sync problems. A little more variety steps could have made this perfect. Nice one, though. Not much I could criticze.

EVERYTHING ELSE: 3 / 4

Graphcs and Videos - 1 / 1

The bg and banner were pretty good, but the video takes the cake. It really gave me an idea of what the song is really all about, and well.. good work.

Song choice, Synching and Editing - 1 / 2

Personally, its not my kind of song for dancing, but it kinda fit the game pretty well... somehow, given its "strange" energy. The cut was pretty good, and well... okay, the ending isn't to my taste, but you did explain why in your Readme.

Fun Factor - 1 / 1

Energetic song, and the great charts will make me want to replay this. Nice work.

YOUR SCORE: 8.6 / 10
