Winnipeg Is a Frozen Shithole (Xtreme2252) - 3/10
Really don't like the colours used here. I get that there's a thematic involved behind this, since it's meant to be frozen, but I think the colours are much more obnoxious than not.

2.531/2.798/etc - would personally like these to be jumps for a more pronounced kinaesthetic effect, but I also understand why you didn't use jumps here for colour theory. also this intro can probably afford a small cut
28.939 - an anchor here would make sense, but I don't think 16th minijacks here do in comparison
34.528 to 35.461 - really don't get why the chords are repeated here to force a trill and hidden OH trills in the process; the percussion here doesn't really justify it, and some of the percussion needed to justify some of the chords aren't there in the first place
38.399 - this is a bit too much pattern-wise, most of the chart is chill 225bpm broken jumpstream/handstream, and this bit feels unnecessarily spiky given the sound that you're layering
39.868 - hand here forces a really fast one hand minitrill which is difficult to execute, would suggest either removing the hand or changing the burst so that the hand forces a two hand minitrill instead
40.676 - again, very spiky since they're 48ths (675bpm 16ths = 337.5bpm jumptrills) when the chart is so chill in comparison
43.335 - don't really hear anything that would justify a minijack here. I get the second one, but the first one is probably unnecessary
48.146 - should be a different hand from the hand before it because of pitch relevance (this is lower than the hand before it)
48.932 - don't hear any 16th hi-hats here
50.807 - you're forced to use heavier layering for this sound given that you've used so many trill patterns as is
1:02.930/etc. - I don't hear anything that would justify minijacks here since these are hi-hats, I think triplets are fine
1:13.719/etc. - I think something more interesting like a 20th-24th burst could be done here instead of a 32nd roll, also the ending hands of these rolls are really mean overall. the roll at 1:23.064 in particular also seem to be quantised wrong
1:25.330 - the burst here is incorrect, it's two pulsing synth sounds, so there should be 2 separate bursts instead of one continuous 24th burst
1:25.953 - this burst feels way too long, the patterns are really uncomfortable too
1:26.753 - 24th triplet roll for this doesn't make much sense, it's just consecutive bass kicks
1:28.797/1:29.464 - using harder 24th bursts here makes sense, but I don't really like the use of hidden OH minitrills to force difficulty like that, feels as if the burst difficulty for this section is very haphazardly done in general and didn't give enough consideration to the existing 16th structure of the chart
1:30.167 - random minijack here?
1:30.519 - this burst is really really unnecessary overall since it doen't go anything substantial

I'm not going to touch on every specific burst and jumpjack from here to 2:31.064, but in general there are many many over-the-top bursts and jumpjacks that I felt really unjustified given how you've structured the first minute of the chart. Even if there is some justification in that you're making the chart progress in terms of difficulty, the sources of difficulty are more frustrating than not, since these bursts are extremely spiky (especially the 32nd ones 2 minutes in, which are bordering unhittable, and there are also ones from 1:40 to 2:00 that are particularly annoying to hit, especially when you're expecting mostly 16th broken dense handstream) and the jacks often have little cue to justify them overall. The chart just feels like it's trying to be one of the hardest charts in the game, when the foundation of the chart barely cracks low to mid 90. It feels wholly unnecessary.

The parts after 2:31 don't really get any less obnoxious either, with a really long trill with hands sandwiched between them, which is more gimmicky than anything because there's nothing really justifying that long of a repeated pattern, and the extremely long alternating [12]/[34] jumpjacks, which could be much more interesting overall. The bursts after also don't much make musical sense (like most of the other bursts in the chart), so it's really more of the same "forced and unbalanced difficulty seemingly for the sake of it" when a much easier chart would've sufficed. The chart suffers from a good bit of downtime towards the very end, which I think could afford a cut too. The chart just feels like it's trying to be something like a manically progressive chat like Herbie or Where's Bill, and it's not being very successful at it because it's so untamed and doesn't have the right foundation for it overall.

Winnipeg Is a Frozen Shithole (Xtreme2252)

- Offset's good.

There's nothing much for me to judge since there are quite a lot of things in this chart that don't align or fit in the song in any way. I'll mostly critique on a few things based on this overall chart as a whole.

- Color theory: I legitimately don't understand what's going on with the color theory in this chart. The first 15 seconds are fine - I can sort of get what you're doing, but the rest of it left me extremely confused, as if you're trying to chart with a live sync that makes the color all over the place and leaving it in there for aesthetics. Second minute in and you're back to using the proper snap coloring, which makes the whole thing so confusing.

- Patterning: There are a lot of spikes (and I mean a lot of them are also very egregious) such as the use of 32nd one-directional roll in 2:04.964 at 225bpm, which is rough since you're forcefully doing handjacks with that kind of motion. There's also some 32nd-ish equivalent bursts that go to more explicit sounds like 1:43.330, but the transitions in and out of it are practically almost impossible without avoiding damage since that also forces OH trill on each side. More of the smaller, minute concerns include, but not limited to longjacks, some jumpgluts that forces hand-biased patterns in some way.

- Outro (3:32.330): This also ties to the patterning as a whole package, but the bursts are already extremely difficult as-is, yet the outro doubles it down with more middle-column bias that ends on a hand. This combines with a wacky snap coloring makes it even more confusing on what these bursts actually focusing at, since there's nothing special about them.

Length is also becoming another major concern given the song goes on and on with this kind of approach you took.

I could go on and on about this chart - I'm not entirely sure if this is meant to be a serious submission or not, but this chart really doesn't work. [2/10]
