NOTE TO JUDGE:
PR is mainly focused on the 8ths in the recurring melody. The other notes either wrap around or are placed to put more emphasis on the 8ths.

In the final more technical stream starting at 77.237 I'm following the same melody with jumps as the section before it, but I'm also putting jumps to the snares(except when there's a grace note)

✔️ This chart has been marked as final and shouldn't receive any more changes.

Coral Labyrinth (M0nkeyz) [8/10]
>Permission good (CC BY-NC-SA)
>Sync good
>Folder contents, metadata good

(Playtest Impression, 1.0x Rate) Seems fine. 32nd stream caught me off guard, not sure whether it should be nerfed or not.

Ultimately I’m okay with this one as is. The stream serves as a pretty decent climax. Good advanced PR work here too. No complaints.

Coral Labyrinth
---------------
- Sync, permission, metadata good.

- start-22.211: These streams feel too rolly for their own good. I do see what you're doing PRing around the 8ths, but it's not very perceptible from a player's perspective--what one feels when playing is the rolliness of the 16ths, not the 8th PR, and it doesn't fit very well.
- 24.770, 35.519, etc.: This is technically accurate, but feels like way too much for the sound. The intro has a bit more action musically, so going from super rolly 88bpm streams there to a minijack and 4-note 48th flam here isn't great in my eyes, especially considering how far it is above the rest of this section.
- 27.329: I feel like there's a way to make this minijack interfere less with melody PR. Something along these lines, perhaps: https://i.imgur.com/agfiRHQ.png
- 32.960: If you follow this, why not 33.130?
- 60.138: Should probably be hand, as at 53.973. I think that would be fine even if you keep 59.453 a jump to not interfere with the 32nds.
* 64.757: This feels like way overkill. The only things that really need to be jumps in this little burst are 64.926, 65.438, and 65.783; compare with how you handled the similar percussion at 43.197.
- 66.305-75.866: This section is cool and well done.
- 76.207: This is an extremely soft sound for a jump, let alone one forcing a [1][12] minijack. Strongly recommend single.
- 76.720: I also think this jump to guitar would work better moved to 76.548 for percussion.
- 77.237-87.491: This whole section is extremely split-handed and OHT-y. I get why you'd want to do that, but I also feel like it could use a touch more variety.
- 82.538: Not feeling a minijack here--the song is very smooth, I don't think such an abrasive pattern works.
- 90.914-93.303: I'd advocate for a constant stream here--the notes you follow really aren't that much more prominent than the ones you don't.

- File is technically great and has some cool ideas (like the 66.305 section, that was fantastic), but I disagree with quite a bit of the structure. Minijacks often felt arbitrary, bursts overcharted, OHTs overused at the end, so on and so forth. With some nerfs and adjustments I feel like this could be a very cool and chill intermediate file, but it's not there yet for me. [6.5/10]
