Reject, I was debating between FR and reject because honestly I think a lot of people will like this chart if the anchors are toned way way down because it's a cool song and the progress in this is really cool, but I think as is more players would just despise it because it's too uneven in difficulty and, frankly, too jack-oriented for the average D8+ player. But the intent of the chart seems to be built to be as aggressive as possible, so I think this might be better off rejected. But I think the structure is cool and I'd like to see a resubmission with some of the anchors nerfed.
* The minijacks starting from 24.833 don't really follow any clear rhythm here -- I'd suggest using minijacks for the main melody if possible, even if there's a progression to all minijacks towards the end.
* I don't think the anchors from the consecutive jumpjacks in 37.220 are a good idea. I think isolating the melody to just doubles is fine, but the 7 note anchors seem far too strenuous given how quiet the song is here. I'd go with alternating 2 note jumpjacks or some form of generously patterned gluts. Would also complement the increased layering when the bass kicks are introduced nicely as well.
* Given the number of people that I know who really hate jacks (and are disproportionately bad at it) in the FFR community I do think that it might be good to break up the jacks at 1:54.639/etc. to 4/2 rather than a straight 6-note jack. Something like [14]1111[23]2, and so on. For anchors with increased layering like 2:19.413, you can do something like [13][23][13][23][14][24] instead, where there's a clear repeated synth while still keeping the strain from the jacks tactful. Could do something like [13][13][23][23][14][14] as well, but it's up to you. This applies to sections like 3:50.768 (also missing triple) though you can use minijacks there instead of 4-note jacks because the synth is so weak, 4:52.704, 5:06.639, and the very last section.
* You have to really tone down the anchors in 5:12.833, this is the hardest part of the chart and I don't think the buildup really justifies something this difficult. I think you can probably still do the 4/2 anchor thing from before with it.

REJECT.
This chart is pretty bold, and I honestly thing most of the jack sections are fine, if not good. That being said, there are two main things that stood out too much imo:
1. The entire abstract charting section of 24ths starting at 2:55.026 is just too constant of a flow of notes given the nature of the sound it goes to, which has pauses, slides into different pitches, and varying intensity throughout the section.
2. The anchors starting at 5:12.833 just feel forced and excessive. The chart could've kept a high difficulty and intense ending without these, so this feels a bit overboard.
Fwiw, I think with some adjustments and re-thinking of these sections, this could be a solid top end jack/stam chart.

This gets a reject from me.
I personally think that this is on the edge to get an FR rating, if not for the strenuous anchors happening at 5:12.833, and being the last minute of the file really doesn't help the tension when very high-leveled D8 players are gunning in to hit that section. I'd agree with others to break these up into sets of 4 or 2 depending of the intensity of the sound provides.
The structure beyond that is at least sound, and I'd love to see a resubmission of this with those anchors nerfed to make it least more bearable (at least, FFR players are struggling to hit even jacks in general, so take that into consideration), as this one is a cool file - I can't accept it as is, but it's definitely close.

Matthias also reviewed this file, agreeing that the 16-note longjacks with same-handed jumps at 5:12.833 need to be nerfed through a Fixes Required rating.
1 FR / 3 Reject

Thank you for your submission to the dump batch! Don't forget dump files can also be sent/resubmitted to any regular batch.

Yeah, I can rework this to have friendlier jacks in it. The goal of the chart was intending to balance hard to acc but easy to hit patterns (fast rolly streams, polyrhythms, bursts) w/ easy to acc but hard to hit patterns (jacks). I wasn't really aware of FFR players being bad at jacks relative to other skillsets, but in hindsight it makes sense that an AAA-centric game would have a playerbase that has better technique than raw mechanical speed
Also probably didn't help that I didn't really have anyone playtest this that's in the target audience for this sort of thing lol
I'll probably send a nerfed version of this sometime, since overall the verdict seems to be that it would be fine if it were rebalanced
