Playtest Impression, 1.0x Rate - Seems solid

26.239 - Feels inconsistent. Probably just remove
32.046, 38.765, 42.046, 53.608 - (somewhat subjective, can ignore) might like a note here
**1:24.312 - end - You and your unjustified anchors haha. I think some of them could work well as mini-climaxes though, eg. 1:43.374 - 1:44.155, 2:03.687 - 2:04.155, 2:13.374 - 2:14.155. Shuffle around the rest of the 4+-long anchors to nothing.

Pretty solid, consistent structure that works well for the song. Anchors tho

Drop Down (Velocity)

- Offset's good.

Intro feels a bit too samey for me. Not a personal favourite but consistency is mostly okay - I'm just slightly disappointed that this 19.312 doesn't get emphasised as much as I wanted it to be.

24.006 - Hand is a bit too much. A jump would be perfectly sufficient.
42.671 - This is a bit too spiky to handle. Given the rest of the difficulty (the first half anyway) revolves around 8th patterns and sometimes the 16ths that doesn't do a minijack collision, you should just make it into a single on column 3 instead of doing a jump like this.
45.249 & 45.405 - It's not super clear to me why this gets a jump while the rest of the sound stays the same.
50.249 - Could be tuned to [23] jump to avoid the slight anchor.

*The musical cue in 52.358 feels unnatural and weird - the 16ths introduced here do feel kind of abrupt it should have started at 52.202 here instead.

55.093 - Cut the anchor short - should be moved to column 3.
59.312 - The pitch for this jump is incorrect, should be [34]. This also prevents the slight anchor on the latter single.
*1:06.421 - This is also another one that is too spiky, except this is a bit worse given you've constrained yourself to two-handed double that transitions to a hand that clashes making it into a double minijack. Nerf it into a single and readjust the latter hand.
1:11.421 - This jump isn't nearly as bad as the 1:06.421 I referred to above, but to keep it consistent you should nerf into a single on column 2. (do the same for 1:16.421)
*1:14.390 - The noise growl does complement this pattern nicely, but please watch that anchor on the 4th column.

The jumpstream section feels pretty nicely patterned, although you should watch the unintentional long anchoring and two-hand trilling. (1:35.874, 1:40.874, 1:51.499 and 1:58.530)

1:52.437 - Don't fully agree with these 5 hands should be a hand here, the layering feels very odd as a result.
*2:13.374 - The short jumpstream run here feels the most awkward and odd given the two-handed trilling.

I'm not quite a fan of this file - the difficulty curve in this file feels uneven and it makes the chart has their distinct discrepancies in terms of layering, and the "good stuff" comes in halfway through the chart, so everything that comes before it feels underwhelming. Even then, there's some spikes here and there in the first half that feels uncomfortable and not particularly enjoyable in terms of playability.

This file will benefit in some more clarity with how the patterns are utilized, but it does require a lot more work that I think I'm not very comfortable in accepting this as-is. [5.5/10]

Due to the divisive 2+ rating difference, Pizza69 will come in as the 3rd judge to assess this file, and will come up with the final verdict shortly.

Unfortunately I feel like this chart does not follow the intensity of the song well, for a lot of the same reasons as Mipha. The beginning feels underlayered compared to the second half, and is easy except for a couple of minijack spikes to relatively soft percussion. Sounds are often followed differently in different parts of the song, and not in ways that work well--there's a chiptune sound which plays a few times throughout the song, which is
- not followed at all at 33.687,
- followed with 24ths at 43.697, and
- followed with 20ths at 64.312.
The anchors that Mipha and Tru mention are also part of this problem. Make sure that your anchors are intentional and justified, and I would also suggest passing through to ensure sections with similar musical intensity are similarly intense in the chart. [Reject]
