XelNya - Maid's Last Stand - Kommisar [6.25 / 10]

16th Official Tournament (see thread)

Public

Rejected

Kommisar has given FFR blanket permission, according to the permission thread. I cannot find the SS, by either parsing the thread, nor the wiki, nor his post history.

Maids are pretty sick.

File contains a lengthy amount of jack usage, a lot of little mini trills on the right hand, a fun 24th stream section.

xXOpkillerXx is to never judge this file. I will pull it if this happens.

Random update note here since it's in judging I'll leave it here, the song title should actually be "Timekiller" and if it's accepted should be changed to that. I used the name of the song file from when I downloaded it (thanks Kommi for that - really) but the official Youtube release, and Soundcloud release, have it listed as "Timekiller." Wanna try and primitively remedy a mistake so GS doesn't get posts in the corrections thread about it. Totally a my bad.

- Perms, sync are good

- ** By your own note, the title of song should be Timekiller. Change it prior to release.

0:01.025 & other instances of this - Why minijack here?
0:11.145 - ^
0:17.014 - Not a minijack, ghost note
0:27.133 - Eh, can be not a minijack
0:28.246 - Suggesting [34] for better PR for the 24ths
0:28.449-0:29.258 - Ghost notes for the minijacks, instead a different sound is happening there
0:30.068-0:30.372 - Why minijacks here??
0:32.901 - Why the minijack on column 2? There's nothing that calls for it. Move to [13]
0:33.610 - Arguably subtle, can be removed. Also incorrect minijack, the early 16th should be the minijack one
0:37.253 - Why minijack here??
0:38.163-0:38.973 - Ghost minijack notes
0:58.605 - Suggestion to move the minijacks to 2 for column variety
1:00.021 - ^
1:00.527 - Incorrect minijack, should be with column 2
1:01.944 - Does not sound like minijacks. However for the nature of the segment 1:01.843-1:02.450 this seems good enough
1:02.754 - Does not sound like minijacks
1:03.536 - Incorrect minijack, it should start from the 16th early. Double check
1:03.968 - Does not sound like minijacks
1:05.182 - ^
1:05.891 - ^
1:08.319 - Incorrect minijack, should be to the 1
1:09.635 - Definitely does not sound like minijacks
1:37.564, 1:37.767 & 1:40.803, 1:41.005 etc - Ghost notes. Other iterations of this happen throughout the file
1:41.410 - Why this one in particular is a minijack? Compare 1:38.172
1:42.624 - Ghost
1:43.029 - ^
Similar notes repeat throughout this segment, adjust accordingly.

Gonna stop here since most of these notes repeat throughout the chart.

Generally the file looks pretty alright, but some of the minijack usage feels too arbitrary. I get it, the concept is a minijack heavy file, and I can see it happening with that file. But I'm also left confused about many of their placements throughout the play, like they're minijacks for the sake of being minijacks. Not to mention the amount of ghost notes it brings with them.

Despite the large (and incomplete) amount of notes, I believe this could be relatively easy to fix if you reconsider some of the minijack usage in the file.

7.198 - (subjective-ish) Might not want as jump
10.335 - ghost, given 7.198

The entire section 1:37.261 - 2:29.072 is just so tedious to play. It just goes on and on and… In part that’s the music’s fault. I’d highly recommend cutting out half (or more) of each chord pattern here (half of 1:37.261 - 2:03.167 and half of 2:03.167 - 2:29.072).

2:32.310 - emphasis here feels backwards - 24th miniOHT to 32nd burst would fit the music better, especially given the 32nd trill at 2:31.501 and the 32nd burst 2:33.019
2:34.739 - fairly clearly 16ths here
2:37.370, 2:50.728 - why hand?
2:46.629 - Don’t hear justification for this first 32nd

The heavy amount of minijacks makes this more tiring than may have been intended. The emphasis provided by the minijacks can also work to obscure what is actually being followed.
Capturing all the hi-hat/percussion notes also heavily obscures the melody and can make this a bit more confusing to play.

It could get there. The 1:37.261 section is a major hindrance, and I really think reducing a followed element for more of a melody focus would help this play better. Just feels like it’s trying to do too much.
