much thanks for the review, Kraezymann! very comprehensive, and a valuable perspective to see.
finishing up my review now.
This Will Be The Day - played Normal. really fun file (and song!), but I felt like the section in the middle could have really really been toned down, way too intense compared to the rest of the file. the quad mine is a neat motif but again kind of inappropriate for intermediate players.
Thousand Cherry Blossom - good difficulty for intermediate players except for those mines. those were hard even for ME to hit, which is saying something considering how much flack I usually get for overusing mines :P otherwise, decently-layered throughout and with a nice progression in parts. a couple of layering pet peeves (mostly minifreezes going to sounds that really don't feel like they need minifreezes), but I defer to subjectivemanias on that.
Try And Follow Me - Easy's the easiest file of mine in this pack and I hope beginners enjoy it. otherwise...
Up 'N Down - ha, great file but probably on the higher end of the intermediate difficulty spectrum, and that's being generous.
Vertex Delta - played Heavy. not the best song but you did a lot with it, and I enjoyed a lot of the repeating motifs you had throughout the file. the mines are maybe a bit overkill, but otherwise the file's surprisingly good for stream practice.
Want U Back v2 - I apologize. this really isn't a beginner file (the mines themselves are pretty much a dealbreaker), but I submitted it on a whim last year. it probably doesn't belong in this pack. three out of four isn't too bad, I guess?
