Why am I still charting a 100+ smh

To make up for past few spiky jumpgluts in my charts, this chart aims to contain zero instances of 3[34]4-shaped minijacks. I also want this chart to be spikeless, so please let me know if any part feels uncomfortable or too spiky. Thanks!

- The sim folder name isn't as expected: "sub zero (jh05013)" vs "sub/zero (jh05013)"

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

sub/zero
--------
- Permission, sync, metadata good.

- 49.285: May be a headset issue, but the sound this jack goes to is suuuper hard to pick out. Also 185.582.
- 94.656: Jump here?
- 96.693: This is the only 3-note jack ending in a one-handed jump in the file--I don't think it's tremendously spiky or anything, but you may want to remove it for consistency because I don't think the sound stands out that much.
- 145.211-155.582: This is really cool. The layering in this section is quite unorthodox, but fits very well and your decision of representing the repeated kicks with minijacks is effective too.
- 161.137-162.433: Column 2 is a bit heavy, may want to rebalance to give that jack some space.

- I struggle quite a bit with the 5-note jacks in this, but I'm basically 100% certain it's just a skill issue on my part and they're fair within the course of the file. I do really appreciate how you make them as friendly as possible, though, that goes a long way for playability.
- That said, I actually feel the stream bursts are a fair bit more reserved than they could be. Rolls sometimes make sense for sure, but the bursts can be rolly to the point of feeling homogeneous; for an example of this, the burst at 49.656 goes to some very aggressive percussion but plays about as friendly as possible.
- On a similar note, it seems like the section beginning at 74.470 with the hands to the heavy beat should play a bit more intensely than the previous stream-burst section, but due to the concessions made to keep difficulty down, it plays nearly the same. It is also sometimes less faithful to the music--the burst you have at 76.044 uses the exact same rhythm as the next two despite lasting less time in the song.
- With that said, the chart is still quite good as it is. I feel like this would be a popular and enjoyable low-100s file that has pretty wide appeal. [8/10]

- Offset's good.

17.058 - I already like this jack here lmao
23.174 - Seems like a misplaced jump - the rhythms aren't exactly 8th, they're 3/16th instead. (see 17.340)
29.100 - Shouldn't be a jump if you're following the 3/16th jumps. (29.192 is the correct instance)
35.026 - Same as 29.100.
40.951 - ^ :(
46.877 - This one's ok, the melody is lingering so the jump feels more "right".
49.285 - Missing jump.
1:42.340 & 1:42.526 - Ghost note.
1:42.803 - Could be a minijack here, should reorient it column 3.
3:06.137 - Shouldn't be a hand.
3:06.692 - Should be a jump.

The chart feels decent to play, although the notes above may not look like there's that many to point out, I just think the general feel and the patterns for this song looks a tiny bit too aggressive in some spots (the jumpgluts and the 32nd stream sections, mainly), and that's my main gripe of this chart. It does constitute to almost half of the chart's portion, but it plays comfortable enough to me.

That being said, this isn't really my cup of tea that I would enjoy, but it's acceptable in my book, though it could benefit in some clarifications on the smaller points overall. [7.5/10]

Thanks for the notes.

- 23.174 layers kick.
- 29.100, 35.026, 40.951, and 46.877 all layer the same melody.
- 49.285 jump added
- 49.655-50.211: yeah this was too generic, changed
- 1:14.470-1:18.544 changed
- 1:34.656: doesn't sound like it, though there's something that starts at 1:34.470 and fades in.
- 1:42.248-1:43.544 16ths are for voice, which weren't stepped as minijacks for some breathing space.
- 2:41.137-2:42.433 changed
- 3:06.137 sounded a bit like hand, but changed to jump for some space to easen up the right hand trill.
- 3:06.692 jumped

Unfortunately it's hard to playtest this because I have to warm up beforehand, so it's not yet final. I'll continue later (probably Wednesday next week) and see if I can further apply some higher-level comments.
