POWA OF DA WILDANES (DarkZtar and Mipha-) - PASS
I don't think I can judge this chart impartially at all, honestly. I personally really don't like this chart; this chart is really really heavy-handed in certain areas, but I'm also unsure about whether these areas are problematic or not because I can't tell if it's because I just don't chart in this specific way, or that the sections are just that gratuitous. I found myself thinking about that for a lot of the chart, so it might be better for me not to assign a rating for this chart. That said, I'm going to give you the notes that I have for the chart, and feel free to take the notes as you will. Pizza will confer with you two for any further discussion of the chart. Since there are no other appropriate judges, there won’t be a third judge making notes for this, and his score will be the only score taken into account to determine acceptance status.

- 19.259 to 20.959/22.459 to 23.859/etc. - I don't really get why the [12] or [34] jumps here are anchored in place, it doesn't really do anything, and, if anything, it makes the polyrhythms here extremely awkward for little to no reason
- 21.059 to 21.659 - really hard pattern because of the OH minitrill, honestly unnecessarily so given the rest of the intro, so I'd suggest making these 2h trilly in some way
- 31.659 - burst here is actually a tiny bit much, would suggest using 40ths instead
- 48.259/49.059/49.859 - I think I somewhat get the 20ths here (they go to the metallic sound), but honestly I really don't think the 20ths fit given how difficult they are. if you really want to keep them, I'd suggest removing the jump at the start of each burst to make it more approachable in general. these bursts are pretty difficult overall, and the gluts aren't really the most ergonomic to hit either. the ones with the metallic sound with 16ths can stay as they are if you want to keep this chart's difficulty
- 50.659 - this 20th burst can afford to be a bit more left hand biased given the existing bias on the right hand before this already (the 20th burst before it and the 16ths right before)
- 52.909 - ghost 16th, also not sure why there's a minijack at 52.859
- 54.459 to 57.359 - similar to 19.259 to 20.959, there's a pretty strange [12]/[34] bias here that I don't think really works out here, the pattern feels clunky to hit overall and I feel that it should be changed to something a bit more freeform, or at least use a two-handed chord to repeat
- 57.659 to 58.859 - handstream here feels like a notable spike, either because of the OH minitrills or the density of the handstream. I feel as if removing the OH minitrills is difficult and would create a different anchored difficulty if you don't remove the 4th jumps, so maybe do something about removing the 4th jumps instead?
- 59.259 - 48th burst here seems unnecessarily difficult, 40th burst might suffice. the 48th burst at the end of the section is fine since it's basically a full split roll and has a sharper timbre
- 1:01.659/etc. - this phrase feels very difficult for me, and considering how often this pattern repeats, this might need some nerfing. a pattern suggestion would be to do something like this: https://i.imgur.com/MOOry01.png -- where the split roll pattern for the drum fill is replaced with a rolly pattern, so it allows for the [12][34] gallops to change hands yet still have a contrast in pattern feel between the bass kicks and drum fills. it will feel a bit more underwhelming compared to the existing pattern here, but it reduces the amount of strain this pattern has significantly.
* 1:05.459 - this burst needs to be removed or at least changed significantly to make it jumptrillable. you're entering a pretty tricky split rolly burst right after a really difficult pattern as is, and then you're entering a 300bpm dense jumpstream after. this would kill off a ton of runs as is
- 1:05.659 to 1:06.459 - technically accurate since there are 8th sounds that justify this, but the sounds are so faint in comparison to the percussion that this feels overlayered overall. I don't really know I would change this, but at the very least I feel that JS on every 8th seems a bit much. JS on every 4th with trilly patterns? idk
- 1:06.509 - missing 16th
* 1:10.059 - the pattern before this causes some pretty notable right hand bias, and the burst starts on the right hand with an OH minitrill, so that much needs to be amended. I feel that the burst is also potentially too fast -- a 40th burst might suffice (I believe this is a 44th burst). one solution would be to make the 8th chord a [12] (to somewhat mitigate the RH bias) and then have a descending 40th burst or something similar.
- 1:11.259 to 1:12.059 - layering here is justifiable, but I feel that it's way too much at times because the continuous 16ths aren't super audible. I'd remove 1:11.409, and make 1:11.559 to 1:12.059 either PR'd chordjacks or jumpstream with doubles on every 4th (8th I guess, but still). it just feels way heavy-handed given how bass kicks are being layered here, but that might just be me. in contrast I have less issue with 1:12.859, though I do feel that 1:13.159 should be a [24] instead to get rid of the 3-note anchor on column 1
* 1:17.459 - really spiky burst again, and I'm not sure what the burst is going to in general
- 1:19.125 - I'd actually suggest placing a minijack at 1:19.059 by moving 1:19.125 to column 4, it makes the pattern a bit easier to read and does fit the motif of what you're trying to do here. that said, I would probably remove the 4th at 1:19.259 because it feels a bit unnecessary overall and to ensure a smoother transition outside of the minijacky burst
- 1:22.059 to 1:23.225 - density here feels significantly different from 1:02.859 to 1:04.059 without much reason here. ditto for 1:23.259 to 1:24.859 vs. 1:20.059 to 1:20.859 -- I was expecting 16th bursts that were more much broken up than something this continuous and this dense.
* 1:25.658 to to 1:26.059 - burst here is very overkill with the minijacks and speed, I'd suggest using 40th bursts that kinda mirror one another and are separated by 1 note since it's a pulsing sound that happens twice.
* 1:32.859 to 1:36.059/etc. - this is one of the hardest parts of the chart because it's continuous 16th jumpstream mixed with 20 bursts, but I don't get why there are jumpstreams there. This feels like a section that would call for 8ths in some way, and maybe you'd use bursts for either the primary synth or the background synths, but a 16th jumpstream seems very excessive given the intensity of this section, which isn't much.
* 1:36.059 to 1:39.259/etc. - likewise with this, and I consider this section to be one of the hardest parts of the chart as well. but unlike 1:32.859, I think this has more to do with how I don't really get the bursts here more than anything. Maybe the bursts go to the vocals, but it's really difficult to tell if so. I can hear a 24th hi-hat rhythm that you can layer, and you can layer a lot of the primary bass wobbles here with 40ths or something similar (48ths might be excessive since it's 450bpm), but as is I really can't tell what's going on here. some clarification would be good, but in general I do think that this needs some nerfing too because this section is fairly low energy compared to the rest of the song.
- 1:55.529 to 1:57.909 - minor point, but given that there aren't any bass kicks backing this, the 20th bursts can be nerfed a little bit to make this section a bit calmer. maybe use fewer minijacky bursts, but I'm not sure what to do exactly
- 2:11.259 to 2:15.859 - same as the points from 19.259 to 28.359
- 2:24.059 to 2:24.859 - this was 32nds in 32.058, I'm not sure if the sound here that different from what was present in 32.058 to use 40ths instead
- 2:35.659 to 2:35.729 - a bit random to have right hand bias here all of a sudden, since the pattern before ite nds on the right hand and the pattern here starts on the right hand as well. you'd have to change the pattern too though
* 2:36.459 to 2:36.859 - this pretty needs some nerfing, I've choked this part every time
- 2:42.059 to 2:42.459 - this pattern feels oddly dense given how quiet this sound is, I think a 32nd JS would suffice but not dense JS for sure

The same comment about how the jumps at the start of each burst from applies to 2:43.259 to 2:52.859 as well.

- 2:58.484 - this burst probably needs some nerfing, very straining since it's coming out from a 375bpm burst

Fixed most notes given, especially the **'d ones. I will give the detailed info on fixes later.

@Pizza & April

19.392 - Added, thank you.
20.317 - Removed.
24.059 - Ease the anchors up a little bit.
27.217 - Removed the offset white jumps, they were supposed to represent the former winding sound but I feel that's way too insignificant to include. (I removed it in other section as well)
40.159 - Sure.

The ghost notes in this region have mostly been addressed here, so thanks for pointing them out.

58.759 - I toned the density down so it's just hands every 4th (no jumps at 8th anymore), so there's more room to move around the anchors at 4 than before.
1:05.459 - Made the bursts jumptrillable instead.
1:10.059 - The bursts are toned way down and less anchory. (used 40ths here)
1:25.658 - Same as above.
1:32.059 - Changed.
1:32.859 - For me I think this is the higher energy part of the song (not the highest), so I think it deserves more aggressive patterning like this. However I did change some of the 20th bursts to have no anchors whatsoever so it doesn't feel too straining.
1:36.059 - The bursts here are even more clarified and nerfed a fair bit. They're a bit broken up, so hopefully it's not as bad as before.
1:58.109 - Added.
2:03.459 - Well it is not a melody note, but a residual one. Still removed it though.
2:03.759 - Added.
2:04.059 - Not sure why I didn't notice that. Changed.
2:08.809 - Added.
2:35.659 - Changed so the hand bias won't be as noticeable.
2:36.459 - Was gonna be mean for this, but yeah this is a bit too much to deal with that jump to hand like that. Made it into [34][34][12][12] instead.
2:42.059 - Lowered the density down a bit.
2:46.859 - Anchors on 4 are a bit too long now that I think about it, so I made it into 6-note anchor instead of 8/9.
2:58.484 - Made the burst a bit more comfortable.

I guess I am the red ropes on Shenhe, hah.

Thanks for the extensive notes, you two. Sorry for putting you both on this kind of a file.

Adjusted few of the unfair transitions.

Pizza told me to make further notes because he doesn't like me. I agree with his FR notes. Anyway:

FR flags:
* 1:10.059 - I probably should've clarified that you should use a 20th burst here -- I think I mentioned 40th bursts because I thought this section was still at 150bpm for some reason. this is a bit faster than a 20th burst and is really difficult still

* 1:25.658/1:25.859 - these 26th/28th bursts are a little bit excessive though better than before; I don't mind the idea of it (though I think they can still be slower to like 20ths), but I would prefer to see the last note of each burst to be removed so it'd remove any hand bias present at least. the inherent minijumpjack patterns can be a bit much too

* 1:32.859 to 1:36.059, 1:39.259 to 1:42.459, etc. - you mention these parts being some of the most intense for you, and I do get it if you're focusing on the synth components of the song.. but the percussion here is so much lighter than the main "choruses" of the song and I can't really see how 16th jumpstream here would be justified. I think keeping the 20ths is more than fine and I'd welcome it, but I think having 8th as the base rhythm would make this section feel a lot less egregious overall. even with the bursts nerfed, I still find myself struggling with this section way more than I feel I should given the energy of this section overall. if you want to appeal this then that's fine, it might very well be a personal thing, but I really don't think these sections should be as hard as they are

Non-FR flags but I'd personally like these changed:
- 48.259/49.059/49.859/etc. - after trying out this section a couple of things, I found out that the main reason the 20ths felt so difficult for me was because they were split rolly more than anything else. I'd personally do bursts like [24]1342[13] or [13]4213[24] for these bursts where there isn't any 16th percussion backing it, because, as is, I feel that there could be more differentiation between the bursts and I feel that some of the bursts as is are a bit too overdone. in hindsight I don't think that removing jumps would be a good idea, so I think pattern changes would be nice. same applies for 2:43.459, 2:50.659, 2:51.459 and maybe a few others, though most of the bursts in this section you can't do much about

- 1:09.059 - burst is a little bit mean but nothing too egregious, but I did mess this up every now and again despite knowing about the burst

Fixed and did an overhaul of the 16th jumpstreams that were rude and made something on a different angle.

I really am the red ropes casted on Shenhe....
