6/7/5/8/7/3 -- pretty much got what I expected, and yes, I expected one of two people to bomb me. I want to address Dossar's notes though, because I agree with some and absolutely despise others

Quote:
- m24, that 32nd transition and single 16th to the hand is just gross. This part really needs a reworking.
alright, alright, alright. this one I'll fix. I've play-tested a number of times and had a few people tell me that it's ridiculously hard to hit. I've AAA'd it multiple times, but it looks pretty nasty so I'm willing to fix.

Quote:
- m69 to m83 really just does not play right. A 16th stream following PR would work better here.
this is a subjective note, especially considering how it happens, and it really irritates me to see this one. I intentionally stepped it this way because the melody was almost entirely filtered out, so I gave myself room to build up appropriately to streaming without making it horribly repetitive.

Quote:
- m98 entering m99, this shouldn't create a 16th minijack. Making it a straight roll would've been much more fluent and enjoyable.
really don't see how it's so bad with the jump giving you a clear accent point to change directions, but i'll consider changing it

Quote:
- The 16th minijacks you have going to the synth really make horrible transitions that are not fun at all to play through. You also have plenty of poorly placed transitions. Places such as the end of m118, end of m54, and end of m50 have terrible minijacks.
yeah, not changing - end of M54 is a split-spin burst and that was intentional. most i'll do is maybe move the up arrow 8th note to a down arrow at m118, but that's it

Quote:
- This file could avoid a lot of unnecessary minijacks and be much more fluent with some technicality and layering sacrified. Right now, the supposed "jumptrills" have really bad transitions which basically make them useless; I'd love to see this file have more fluent/doable parts rather than anchor transitions with awkward jumptrills. Technicality is being abused here when the file has the potential to be much more fun.
yes, it was. technicality was abused intentionally because I wanted a very extreme file. docking a ridiculous amount of points for fun factor is unfair -- I could understand knocking off a few points for incorrect rhythms or errors in layering and whatnot, but for a file to have proper rhythms, clear intent on what's going on everywhere in the file, and proper layering to get a 3 is not right to me.

EDIT: also, I appreciate the fact that you like the song and would love to see the file be more fluent, but it's simply not what I was aiming for, so I want to make that clear
