Gunkienen Tarusuigin? pretty sure I noticed some people saying that they thought it should have been an 11, so it can't be that high... (granted, it's a bit denser than your normal jumpstream)

still... it is notable issue, there really isn't much else

Every judge here is entitled to his/her opinion. They are judges because we think their opinion is somehow more valid than that of any other player, otherwise that player would be a judge.
Some judges like JS, some don't, that's why we have more than one judge...
It's an indirect democracy, people can complain about the choices and decisions the judges make, but in the end we chose them.

Gonna set my expectations really low for my file and hope for a rating of at least 2.0/10

Same, I knew for a fact it wasn't passing, but I sent it in anyway for hardcore pro tips. I just hope people focus more on the file and not the bad cut I made on it.

I would be a very sad Ariel if I didn't get >2.0 though, I don't think the file sucks THAT bad.

[reuben_tate]

Yeah, I was mostly looking forward to tips, considering it's my first file, I don't expect it to pass, to be honest, I'll be happy if it gets a "decent" non-passing grade. Hopefully I can work off the errors pointed out in my file from the batch notes in order to make the file a viable candidate for the next batch.

Now THAT's the spirit!

If a song has no potential (such as the (most likely fictitious) one you described), then I suppose the file will be bad and thus you can say THAT is a bad song choice.

But you CANNOT reject a song based on how much you like the song. For example, say I hate most Dubstep, Rap, Pop, and J-Core/K-Pop/aznboi-sounding music. *cough*

I can't judge fairly on that.

FFR already has so much ching chong wapanese music (guilty of this myself, of course). Also way too many bms artists. I try to encourage people to step other things, but if they want to keep stepping more of the same then that's their choice, I won't judge the songs themselves when reviewing the file.

But people can step what they want- the song itself should not be a factor (barring outright troll submissions)
A "poor song choice" will lead to a poor file by definition, if the file itself passes muster then the song choice obviously wasn't bad, despite how much you might hate the song itself. Someone obviously likes the song, or else they wouldn't have stepped it >_>

Erm... What exactly is a "troll submission" in terms of musical choice?

I could argue things like Submission Rules, 300 This Is Sparta Mix, and The Pylons are Trap Balls are "troll submissions" based on song choice, but they made it through.

I just wish we had permission for Theatrix dammit, I emailed Dave Eresian several days ago and it's probably never going to receive a response

I step a lot of their songs because it has musical variety that other artists lack. So in no way am I a stepping dullard.

Submission Rules is definitely a troll submission, but it was a good troll haha

I don't think meme songs or songs such as AOAO count as troll submissions. They are legitimately enjoyed by people.
I was thinking something like Static TV or Vuvuzelas as obvious troll songs.
