Default Questions

My main question is; is there any kind of a prize or reward if you win?

Also, what is ideal song length? because i have a couple files almost done, but i thinm most of them probably too long, and i don't want to cut them.

1. Um... If you win, you get to brag about it...

2. Song length depends. The rules say ideal is 1:20-2:10 (min:sec) for DDR, 1:30-2:30 for ITG, and 1:15-2:10 for KB. The rules allow for a song as long as 2:45, though.

I would say that the ideal length is whatever the average length is in DDR or ITG. DDR files tend to be closer to 1:20-1:40 while ITG files tend to be more along the lines of 2 minutes. However, as I recall you are not directly penalised for length as long as you enter a song under 2:45 (over 2:45 is not allowed). But the judges and/or public reviewers may decide to penalise you anyway if they feel the song is longer than necessary.

For instance if I'm public reviewing DDR songs I tend to overlook the length if the song follows standard DDR structure (intro, verse, chorus, ending). However if a second verse gets tacked on unnecessarily then that can make the song feel too long.

That doesn't make any sense. Everyone knows reputation is the FB meter.

Actually, they're lying. If you win, you get an all-expenses-paid trip to Japan where you'll stay 3 days and 2 nights facing Slake in a one-on-one boxing match, armed with Sock 'em Boppers complete with Armored Core-style customization, in Virtual On-style arenas.

You say "I resign from the competition. BLueSS, please remove my song(s): [insert song title(s) here] from the competition."

P.S. I do not resign.
