bmah - PUPA - Atsushi Morimori [8 / 10]

NOTE: I would like to have this song possibly considered for the next official tournament. I heard that there may not be a special batch solely for OT files of all difficulties, so I'm submitting this in anticipation of that.

NOTE 2: From 29.73-33.89s, I originally had minijacks to the beginning of every hi-hat triplet 16ths in addition to other layering, but this felt too harsh. Instead, the minijack occurs only on every 4th hi-hat triplet (a compromise between the above and a no-minijack scenario which would make the PR feel a bit weird). Doable at this BPM + the same predictable pattern?

@Game Manager: I would like to request this song to be considered for the next official tournament please. Has a lot of things to test players. Thanks for the consideration!

- Permissions, sync, metadata good.

- 33.888: This makes sense, but is also a little painful. I recommend moving the one-handed jump to a two-handed one and/or putting the minijacks on different columns. (Keeping them on the same hand is cool, e.g. 44 33.)
** 56.611: This burst is ridiculously aggressive and the patterning very difficult, please tone this down a notch. To be honest I don't even hear 24ths after 56.760, just 16ths; that would probably be the easiest way to fix this.
- 57.651: ow. (but makes perfect sense and is acceptable.)
- 67.378: The 32nds you had before continue here. My suggestion would be to add a note here and remove the hi-hat at 67.527; this lets you complete this phrase while giving more power to the renewed melody at 67.601.
- 90.324-91.512: This sequence is pretty rough on the right hand imo, demanding anchor control into minijack control back into anchor control with no breaks. It's acceptable, but I'd definitely advocate for something more ergonomic (like putting the 16th minijacks on the other hand, or as mentioned at 33.888, not having them be on the same column, e.g. 33 44).
- 112.601-113.492: This is really goddamn hard.
- 115.423, 115.869, etc.: Not using minitrills for these like you did in the intro?

- On a technical level, this chart is fantastic, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with how spiky it is--I may be rusty and injured, but my graph on this is pretty silly ( https://i.imgur.com/sJYKx18.png ). I think that overall it's acceptable as long as 56.611 is reduced a little bit, but I also think that the minijacks from 29.730-33.294 add difficulty rather artificially, and that 112.601-113.492 would be better served by using denser jumpstream (perhaps jump-jump-single repeating) than by bringing in minijacks. [8/10 CQ]

I tried many variations of minijacks but not many felt great. Even this pattern is a bit hard to execute, so I've decided to remove any signs of minijacks here.

** 56.611: This burst is ridiculously aggressive and the patterning very difficult, please tone this down a notch. To be honest I don't even hear 24ths after 56.760, just 16ths; that would probably be the easiest way to fix this.
It turns out there was one too many 24ths. In addition, I decided to remove the layering of the last 16th. However, the end result means that the last jump of this phrase lands on a [12]...

- 57.651: ow. (but makes perfect sense and is acceptable.)
...which makes this part more doable with [12][12][12] jacks instead of a two-handed jack pattern of [23].

- 90.324-91.512: This sequence is pretty rough on the right hand imo, demanding anchor control into minijack control back into anchor control with no breaks. It's acceptable, but I'd definitely advocate for something more ergonomic (like putting the 16th minijacks on the other hand, or as mentioned at 33.888, not having them be on the same column, e.g. 33 44).
Changed patterns up with minijacks oriented on the down arrows.

- 115.423, 115.869, etc.: Not using minitrills for these like you did in the intro?
This is the same melody and phrases but transposed at a different scale. To make it a little different I changed the triplet 16ths.

A new chart file was uploaded with the following changes:
----------
Hand Bias changed: -16 => -30

I think the change you mentioned at 33.888 didn't make it in to the current version--there are still minijacks, and the one-handed jump in the middle of them is pretty gnarly. But, good to go.
