I request Masons review be thrown out.

Denied, I can understand where he's coming from. I will ask him to reconsider his scores, as they are consistently low except fffff

[Eggman]

If you guys have already been trying to contact him and he hasn't filled it in more already, I'd just go ahead and take it out. No sense in waiting, especially if getting all the public reviews correlated is what's causing the hold up.

OK, here's my bit of review. PLEASE EXCUSE ME FOR MY ENGRISH.

ƒƒƒƒƒ

Though the whole file seemed OK, steps was unexpectably strange too often. Flat stream on heavy don't fit the sound, and all the melody in the middle of oni wasn't done or was done with errors. Strange file, but it seemed fun for some reason sometimes. BG and banner was OK, song was strange and a bit of unrealistic.

Heavy: 1.8
Oni: 2
Extra: 3

TOTAL: 6.8

Ichirin no hana

I've seen several Aurae's files before and I must say he improved a lot. File is mostly solid, and there was no ugly errors or something like this. I just found end of oni difficulty a bit off: fast synth was replicated not correct, and "8th part" seemed like lacking 16th arps, it can fit oni nicely. Hands are acceptable according nowadays standards cuz My Dear God Blurk uses them. BG and banner was nice, the song quality was OK.

Heavy: 2.4
Oni: 2.2
Extra: 4

TOTAL: 8.6

IN GAME 8

I think I shouldn't judge it, should I? Heavy is not KB, oni is just a OMG WTF. Sound quality is low. Bad one.

Heavy: 0
Oni: 1
Extra: 0.5

TOTAL: 1.5

Maxx Delusion

Steps are interesting, but nothing very remarkable. 16ths in oni file seemed to be random. Many errors. Song sounds bad and homebrew. BG and banner was ok.

Heavy: 1.5
Oni: 1
Extra: 2

TOTAL: 4.5

over there

I was expecting a lot from the file. Guitar solos was done with a lot of errors, and you got a place on 01:26 wrong. Beginning of oni was strange, very strange. Many errors, but file was interesting and fun. Song is good, BG and banner are perfect, I'd say best in the whole contest.

Heavy: 2.3
Oni: 2
Extra: 4

TOTAL: 8.3

Storm

I don't like it. Stream is not representing the violin melody, and jumps' placement is totally random. 32nds in oni is OMFWTFLOL. Ending is VERY off. + personal hate for 31337ness: video on background of a kb file, readme in htm, overrating of a file (oni is 12 in max, not your 15)...

Heavy: 1.5
Oni: 1
Extra: 1

TOTAL: 3.5

Tetris-Talespin

Steps are very random. stepartist is changing the subject to follow every damn bar, and many notes wasn't following anything, they was just forming their own rhythm. Oni is even worse then heavy. I don't like some bpm changes. BG and banner is good, song quality is OK.

Heavy: 1.5
Oni: 1
Extra: 3

TOTAL: 5.5

Vairocana

Well, this file is average. I can't even say too much about it. Jumps in the end of oni are unneeded... but basically there was no ugly errors.

Heavy: 2
Oni: 1.9
Extra: 3

TOTAL: 6.9

video out c

It's my file, so I can't rate it.

Z3

OH MY GOD... awful. Very bad. Steps are placed with no sense at all, many errors are even copied from heavy to oni. Mines was placed to have an ability to say "this file has mines", not for any particular reason. Song is Pet Shop Boss. Bg and banner is ok.

Heavy: 0.3
Oni: 0.3
Extra: 1

TOTAL: 1.6

You should put it in the public reviews thread, right? Otherwise it might get overlooked...

Thanks for the feedback, in any case.

That's not what's holding this up. Getting judges that haven't been involved with OSC doesn't help sometimes, as only Neko and Eggman finished their scoring. I haven't heard from 2 of the judges that "ran out of time" and one was out of town and got back late then doesn't have time.

That thread is already closed... but it'll probably get in anyways.

[Xythar]

Oh, I didn't notice it got locked, nevermind.

Wow, nice. Thanks. ^_^

[CronoSquare]

If I get time, I'm actually going to try a few of these on the SM machine, I'm pretty sure I can pass at least some of them.

[Vospi]

I think my video out c is paddable on heavy, at least sax solo is indexable fine.

[Xythar]

Vairocana heavy should be paddable (although a few of the jumps might be a bit difficult). There shouldn't be any double steps in it at least.

[CronoSquare]

I think I *might* be able to do fffff heavy.

[Xythar]

You're better at pad than I am at KB and I can pass it on KB, so probably... :P

See, you might think that's sad, but here's the real mind-boggler: I think I'm better on pad than keyboard. :|

(I mean, obviously if a song has a bunch of weird quads or REALLY ackward double-stepping, maybe not, but generally I find timing easier on pad, actually...then again I probably play 1 game of SM on keyboard for every 20 I play on my feet, at most XD)

[Xythar]

Well, it's similar to how I find Stepmania a hell of a lot harder than IIDX, despite the fact that IIDX has 7 note columns instead of 4 (plus the scratch) and much more complex patterns. I can hard clear Quasar 7K on IIDX pretty much every time (nothing particularly special, I know, but I'm making an example :P) but I have yet to even come close to passing Eggman's KB stepfile for it.
