[Deidara837]

I saw the song titles and for a brief moment thought that it was Virtual Riot's song

Songs looks fun let's try them

[ULTIMEGA]

Saw the word "gamelan" and I thought "Oh, I gotta hear this one."

miko kinda feels it should be bumped up a level. It's pretty challenging.

Next is rampage. I honestly thought it was a MOSAIC.WAV song at first. It sounded like it. Jump gluts are challenging, and mindblocks are with the 32nd note bursts. Managed to nail this one though.

Overall, fun charts. I'm gonna put miko in my faves though mainly because of the song itself. Damn, I love that shit.

Feel like Rampage can give Oni because of overall density of the jumps

Feel like miko can be bumped too but I don't think it's that troublesome enough to get Scarhand from it. 77 is what I'd like to see it at but at best 78 but I doubt 78 is fitting for miko.

Didn't save a replay for Rampage but I did for miko because damn Nathan.

miko is one of the most fun stepfiles I've played.
Just feeling the need to express this.

Yeah, I can definitely see Rampage bump to 66 and Miko at 77 now. I guess I had too much fun playing these files and ended up thinking they weren't that hard. Dossar/OWA, if you see this you can bump it up. I had plenty of people come to the same conclusions.

[Piggy Proportions]

Miko is a 76, maybe even a 75. The difficulty is compacted almost wholly into the JS sections which are admittedly fast and actually a little awkward, but they are quite brief and are broken for the most part, allowing for ample recovery time between each segment. The 24th burst patterns are cheatable, and the overall length of the file is less than daunting. The only other aaa killer, which comes right at the end, is a somewhat swift 12th glut-jack which transitions a little problematically into a quad. An easy fix for this dilemma is to simply mirror accordingly. I find that the JS within Punch You supplies a greater portion of rage-bait than Miko's do.

You failed to mention the offsetting trill section at the end which is an immense goodtrap for multiple players (as seen during the 10th Official with Capoeira Sundance's offsetting trills). Before the fast JS section, you have to hit the quick x bpm 16th broken JS bursts which can pose a problem for players (keep in mind it is recommended to look at a file from a D5 point of view and not a D6 or D7 point of view because this file sits in the high D5 range).
