I have yet to see a single good 4k soulless chart, and i'm quite frankly not sure if a making one is even possible. While this chart clearly tries to use good ideas for whats going on in the song there are just too many underlying issues that basically ruin the chart.

1) 0:49.021 This is a massive difficulty spike. outside the two other repeats there is nothing even remotely close in difficulty in the rest of the chart.

2) While the chart generally does a good job of reflecting what is going on in the music, It does a poor job of matching the intensity of the music. 0:24.510 and the intro are charted identically despite a clear change in song intensity, with new instruments added.

3) I've noticed this chart generally has little layering and most of it is just single notes. Chords can introduce a new element to help change up sections and keep things fresh, especially when the majority of the chart is the same pattern, just trills and anchors.

While this is certainly a decent attempt at making a good soulless chart, there are a lot of issues with the song that simply make it nearly unchartable. Song choice is an incredibly important part of charting, and i think song choice has let you down. I could criticize the chart more, but a lot of it is just the song.

Oh boy…

Please be more careful of the folder contents in your future submissions. This has both an .mp3 and .ogg file, and the .sm uses the .ogg file. FFR can only use .mp3.
This also has an .ssc file. FFR only uses .sm.
This also has an unnecessary difficulty tag – there are no other submissions of this song in the game, in the queue or in the batch.

As for the chart itself, I can’t reasonably assume this is a serious submission, so I’ll just give general thoughts.

FFR is not Clone Hero. You can not expect players to hit (much less, enjoy) patterns like this in FFR. These anchors are exceptionally painful, and the minijack sections are somewhere between unreasonable and impossible. We have to actually hit all these notes in FFR, we don’t really have hammer-ons/pull-offs.You cannot directly transpose a Clone Hero chart to FFR without appropriate gameplay considerations for FFR.

This is as “technically accurate” a 4k chart as anyone could reasonably expect to be made from this song. But it ends up being essentially unplayable.

There’s not much more that can be said here. I think(hope) you knew this kind of rating was coming.

Nice meme, but a firm no.

I had at the time assumed .oggs would be fine, but found issues when trying to upload, so I rushed in an .mp3 version. I think actually it wouldn't take to much work given the issue of the mini-jacks. I'm thinking they would be more reasonable with a new philosophy of those high notes get mini-jacks and the low notes are two seperate notes, emphasising the much clearer notes while de-emphasising the in-between rhythm notes, but also to switch off the minijacks between hands - for instance, instead of charting [44113311...44112211...] to chart it as [44132231...44231132...] and to shift it off to other sets of notes with each measure. I do have a harder Oni chart as well, but it's must nastier.
