Playtest Impression, 1.0x Rate - Jump emphasis feels really weird here. I’ll have to look at this closely.

This is by far the most difficulty I’ve ever had judging a file.

I’ve playtested this several times, tried isolating the jumps, pretty much everything I can think of to try to determine this file’s layering structure. And I haven't found anything consistent enough to be able to give any sort of viable feedback on.

I legitimately cannot determine what is intended to be followed, what is added to it with the layering, or which elements combine to create this layering structure. I can’t even really get all that specific – it’s a pervasive problem to the whole chart.

You’ve successfully broken my brain.

I’m giving this file this rating as something of a compromise:
-As it stands right now I’m rejecting this for an incredibly confusing execution both in layering and in which instruments are actually followed (and when) throughout the whole file.
-This rating qualifies this file for a rating appeal. This gives you an opportunity to explain the intentions of the file and have it looked at by another judge.

So before we go anywhere, yeah I'm obviously requesting a rating appeal. Not even so much that it somewhat reads like the file is missing the mark in the execution department, but so much as I don't personally understand why if you had this much difficulty why you wouldn't naturally just pass the file.

However, as an explanation:

The issue for you, is that you're looking for a cohesive layering scheme, where there isn't one. I don't often do that.

Commonly I will as I am making a file, set rules for what is what, as I make it. You likely took notice of all the trill centric patterns. Those are all on purpose. They go very specifically for that specific sound, because it's littered through the whole file. But if you layered that conventionally, this whole file would be monotonous jump trills. It just doesn't make for anything interesting.

The usage of jumps / hands falls into this category.

Hopefully this doesn't come off as too presumptuous. I just know I don't approach making files the same as everyone else, and these kind of issues pop up from time to time. I'm also super dogshit at explaining things. I'm very much willing to accept it misses the mark but, yeah.

Rejection upheld--I have to agree with Tru that the jump usage really makes no sense at all, and in conjunction with the frequent unintentional, unjustified anchoring throughout the jumpstream (not talking about the trilly patterns--I do like those and think they are thematically strong) and the odd shift to minijacks and 32nd minitrills near the ending, I don't think the file holds up to technical- or playability-based standards for acceptance. This file needs a more consistent structure and a more careful eye for patterning.

As an addendum, I disagree that a conventional layering scheme would automatically force this file into being a monotonous jumptrill mess. I know this is not what you are going for personally in your file, but while listening to the song I could easily envision a conventionally-layered chart for it which remains both interesting and expressive through use of minijacks and jumpgluts. A strictly-jumpstream chart for it would also be possible with a more conservative approach and some tactical reductions so certain sections don't get too messy--these reductions are, of course, a bit subjective, but if the rest of your layering scheme is consistent it should be pretty clear why they exist.
