I'd decided to step this song the first time I heard it, incidentally before the contest. I just lacked the motivation to get down to business until OSC 4. The main reason was that the song's focus was syncopated grooves, which lends itself to interesting stepfiles. 

Heavy:
I had a hard time making the easier heavy chart, because I had to curb the chaos factor specifically as well as the air. Also had a stream section which I subsequently removed, because upon the testing of the steps by some friends, I realised that 180bpm 16ths are a bit fast for some. And I wanted the easier chart to be a bit more accessible to more people.
I also tried to make sure that the crossover paths for indexes stayed intact, with as little necessary double-stepping (or fingering? heh) as possible. Because index steps are prettier, I think. 

Oni/challenge:
Then come the oni/challenge steps. I wasn't particularly motivated to make these challenging - I just followed the song. They are a lot easier than some of my other files, but are evertheless quite tricky. A difference to the heavy steps is that they follow the song less, creating a few of their own rhythms in sections to keep things interesting. 

Enjoy the file!
