Aaaagh, that song made my head hurt.
Back on topic...
1) Si
2) Yes, feedback was pretty acurate with judges reviews, but PR's are a different story. I agree with jammitch! for the reason that simfiles were being unfairly judged because they had bad graphics. Probably about 90% of the public who made PR's didn't even understand the concept of presentation. No judges for next BEST-mix would kill.
3) I've used feedback from my Hardcore Holic file to improve greatly with HYPNOTHEQUE, but that was only because I had no other entry to submit to TKOIFT and my entry stunk. Period. People need to be a lot more specific on feedback. Just saying, "Bad graphics, -3.87/10" isn't enought. It's not even near enough. I really,
really want to improve on my graphic making skills, but just booing them doesn't help at all. Please, what ever happened to "constructive criticism"? We definitely have the latter, but where is the feedback that actually helps? And for the record, the "/" in my banner wasn't meant to represent "of". It was added to separate the different pictures in my graphics. I know I might have taken the title of my song a little too literally in my graphics, but I really had no choice. Those hours spent after the deadline was set were reserved for creating graphics, which I had all but 1 day to complete. The reason why my simfile was the last to be submitted and the reason why I held up the competition from going any further was because I had to finish up my graphics. If I killed some anxiousness before the files were announced, I'm sorry.
4) I'll keep in mind to put in less "generic" DDR videos (if I ever do again, which I'm certain I will from time to time) with my simfiles, I'll remember to spell "muskled" as "muscled" when I make lyrics, and I might try and make my cd-titles a little bigger for that fact that nobody even
noticed them (which might be for the better since the text was hardly readable), but yah, I can't really use any feedback that I got. Everyone seemed to like my steps and there wasn't much wrong with my file besides the graphics I made. I just really don't know how I always seem to impress the judges, but not the public. Second place by reviews to seventh after voting rounds seems like a pretty big downward jump to me. I'm not saying I'm disappointed with the results, as 4th place was up for grabs by literally anyone from 5th-8th place, but I just want to know how to impress the public with my stuff.
