Well now i can't make a decision, you can keep your files man, i'll send some files for you next week, hope it would be up to your standards

[Celirra]

lowkey scared to submit to this pack since the bully crew is reviewing submissions

[lofty rhino]

There is no need to be.
We are looking forward to your submissions.

Aku no Hana (windmill) - This is kind of like crowdpleaser only if the trills were at the end and the file was less interesting prior to it and it went to anime. I recognize this lends itself to your general style however I find it a frustrating exaggeration of it.
48th trillz

And the Vulture Beholds (kabopius) - Very eveningeqsue, aside from the runningmen which feel great. File tends to be slightly right hand biased and some of the tighter 24th patterns might be better off loosened up but it's good as-is.
kbro

Chokoreito (porousdong) - There's some pretty neat stuff in here. There's also some pretty unplayable garbage, but I'll work with you to shape it up.
accepted pending major revision

Dat $tick (skwalamari) - Good song choice for broken 64th burst stream. Intro needs to be cut but I can do that. Non 64th parts of the file could use another detail pass if you want.
rap song that isn't by bouncy j

Pen Pineapple Apple Pen (perkyplump) - Great stuff. You aren't afraid to use patterns that most people would consider to be annoying or obnoxious and good enough to make them play well. Only comment is that the ending jack is a touch aggressive.
limeapple

Really Long Title (treehill) - I have the same general reservations about this file that I did aku no hana. The difficulty spike at the end is so high that the file is either boring for a minute and then interesting for about 10 seconds, or playable for a minute and then rage inducing. Looking at it in the editor I thought it might make an o.k. bursty accuracy file but it just doesn't play that way in actuality.
plus the title is really long how do i wordplay off that

Scapegoat Boy (soiltill) - A little long but it's a nice jack file. Jacks are left hand biased however not only is it musically justified it's musically demanded. Personally I feel like you could have taken more (many mores) liberties with the chorus and sculpted some more interesting stuff into the slower areas. The solo, as short as it is, is still great to play through. As it stands it does adhere to your more technical style, though I think it would benefit from getting a stab of scary halloween show.
up2um8

Vitamin B (saucykrill) - I'm going to be honest not only would I have minded accepting this but I stepped telephone shopping and nearly submitted it myself however neon chewed my ass out over it and now I'm rejecting this out of spite.
i mean its really rejected because it's an 11 second file with 80 notes 60 of which are in a less than 2 second burst and the easier difficulties don't exactly completely salvage it

Your 10% (palpablepulp) - I haven't had a chance to play this yet but I've gone over it in the editor and it's already been greenlit by neon. Great file, a+ construction, excellent attention to detail. I'm worried that some of the denser 32nd patterns might be unreasonably difficult but if they are I'll let you know. There's a clear grace note at 6.063 which you (un)intentionally? omitted despite putting an arrow to one a couple seconds later. The slow section after the halfway mark could use some slowdownbuildupclimax theory and I wouldn't mind seeing some extra layering towards the end of it before the last quarter of the song.
u are good at this

[SKG_Scintill]

oh

I gave Scapegoat Boy the lowest chance of getting accepted
I gave Aku no Hana the highest btw

Edited OP to show up-to-date song list.

yeah i generally don't take care of song cut stuff until i'm about to release something so i forgot about that. i'm definitely gonna go through and fix some issues i have with the file though. there are a couple of unnecessarily awkward transitions (particularly with the 96th burst and the transition out of the first chorus) i'm gonna touch up as well as a couple of other consistency issues.

i'm really happy with the "gimmick" of the file though.

Speedbore Blandy [REBUKE] (aloof) - So there's nothing technically wrong with this file, which is the first problem. Given that this is a dump pack from and evaluating from that given perspective the medium chart misses a lot of opportunities (I mean its a technical chart, so this is kind of a tautological statement). Personally while I don't care for the music I find the chart playable and even somewhat enjoyable, however it would be better suited for an Icyworld pack and that's where it should go. The hard chart I suppose may be considered a technical dump. The repeated [14] jumpjacks are incredibly draining given the heavily anchored nature of the file and the drudgery of that is only broken by half dozen measure long left hand trills with inlaid jacks. I have a hard time imagining anyone enjoying the file even at 1.0.
fine execution but poor premise

[choof]

rip
gonna send another chart
