This file is boring. It's good in terms of steps, but it's boring.
- ZAMURAI
Kinda risky file, 1/12th on 200bpm? Good job on this.
- This Is My Life
Wow, awesome. One of best files in DDR brackets of this competition!

Song is awful, but steps are really fun.
- ZAMURAI
All the bpm changes seem correct, but they still left me confused, even after playing it a few times. It's hard to get into the steps and find them fun when I'm being thrown off by the song.

Sounds like an old school DDR song, with appropriately-breaked steps to match.

Not files that shine the brightest in this competition, but they both do what they're trying to do very well. ZAMURAI is a risky one, but that doesn't automatically make it good because of its creativity. So, for me, the file didn't deliver in the end.

#1 - Marshmallow - (Just plain awesome, although I don't understand why there are so many useless BPM's in the file (changing from 140 to 140 to 140 to 140 to 70 to 70 to 70 [over and over again], the speed-up is so well done though, and the steps, and video, and everything are fantastic).

#2 - This Is My Life - (It's good, steps go well, video is okay, song isn't that great, but it's overall better than...)

FAIL: Zamurai - (Wow you had so much to work with, J-hip hop/breakcore, great video, but the BPM changes suck and there could have been better flow in the steps (I know it's breakcore and therefore fairly random, but I think it could have been better still)!! and the video is not synched to the song... but at least I've now heard a freaking great artist Hifana, just need to get rid of these stupid Sync gimmicks).

V - This is my life. simply good.
V - Marshmallow. Really great patterns, but I can't see myself playing this much more because of the song. Also maybe that speed up, although, didn't fit that much with a song like this? It was well done, I'll give you that.

X - Zamurai - I actually like it, but Oni felt kind of unnecessary and a bit overdone, and the patterns didn't stand out enough as Marshmallow.

Urgh. I feel awfull. I forgot to vote up on "THIS IS MY LIFE". So to make it up, imma play it to see if ti deserves it.

1st: Marshmallow
(Overall presentation and stepcharts are solid good.)
2nd: THIS IS MY LIFE
(Okay. I know I did give Zamurai a bit lower than Marshmallow. But if I ever vote on THIS IS MY LIFE, the chart is decent, that I think it deserves to be on the 2nd. Oh and the BGvideo made me WTH.)

So here's my votes.

Marshmallow
This Is My Life


This was a somewhat difficult decision. While This Is My Life definitely has its share of areas that could be slightly better-polished, what it all comes down to, it's a pretty darn fun simfile. Zamurai is nice for being something fairly different, but the ineffective song structure and somewhat unpolished steps make it a less satisfying package overall.
