Zpace Invaderz (M0nkeyz) [7.5/10]

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

2.056 & 4.879: These are confusing and not really intuitive. Also doesn't help that 7.702 & 10.526 don't have it. Recheck the intention here. I suggest maybe consider the slight flam on the 8ths (like 1.967), and/or the 12ths after (like 2.261).

13.702 & 16.525: Bit random to have only those vocals layered in the section.

28.084: Unsure if this was done for difficulty purposes, but it doesn't really work. This vocal sample does a triplet jack from the 4th (at 27.908 here). Now I'm pretty confident that the triplet jack would be a fine motif despite adding a slight spikiness, but if that's not something you like, then the 2-notes minijack from the 4th can be kept but not the second one (from the 8th) because 28.172 doesn't match the music otherwise.

35.231: Feels missing. Seems to be on purpose for transition, but see the following comment below for 35.407.

36.731: If you go with the triplet jacks for 28.084 and the other similar iterations, this could also be one like 11(14). See also 2:01.260 for consistency.

35.407: Inconsistent with 29.760 or 32.584 for example. Should remove here or add in the other places.

51.643: Could afford a note on col 3 here.

58.618-1:00.025: This feels super empty. A lot can be done with some 16ths here to improve the flow. For example there's a high pitched note at 58.966, or the transition into the following section at 59.848 & 59.937 (like 14(123) and could maybe do 21(23) at 1:05.496, just throwing ideas).

1:45.907: PR, three (24) in a row here.

1:52.260: Jump, kick.

1:59.848: Bit underwhelming given it's faster in the music than at 1:59.495.

Overall a decent chart. Has a good flow for the most part and some interesting motifs. Could use some polishing though here and there.

- Metadata, sync are good

- *Permission is contradictory. See about page here: https://themusicalghost.carrd.co/#contact

3.379 - PR, not the same as the 8th before

9.026 - ^

10.437 - ^

11.849 - ^

*25.584 - 16th, not 48th

*28.172, 39.466 - Not a minijack

1:06.201 - PR, should be 4 technically

*1:14.790 - 4th, not 24th

*1:33.819, 1:34.525 - What are these 16ths going to?

*1:37.525, 1:39.995, 1:40.172, 1:43.348, 1:50.407 - Ghost note

*1:59.760 - ^

*2:04.172 - See 28.172

This file is alright. It generally makes sense and is consistent. Look into fixing * notes which are CR and it's good to go.

OP:
This song is surprisingly tricky, a lot of the more questionable omissions were indeed done because of difficulty concerns and because I didn't think the music fit the continuous patterns caused by including those notes.

2.056 & 4.879: Fair enough, removed
13.702 & 16.525: It's not entirely random, there's a chorus or distortion effect on these that isn't on the other vocals.
28.084: Alright changed them to 3-note jacks.
35.231: I had alot of these notes in originally, but it just made it feel like a continuous jumpstream when the music sounds really broken, so I decided to only the vocals and more prominent chords in this section.
35.407: Nice catch, inconsistent indeed.
36.731: Changed all of them to 3-note jacks
51.643: Don't find this one prominent enough.
58.618-1:00.025: I don't agree with it being that empty and I don't think it's is a problem.
1:45.907: Changed it up.
1:52.260: Uh, woops?
1:59.848: Ya, I had 32nds at first, but I found 32nds too difficult, let me try putting 32nds on the second one.

Thanks for the notes!

Deam:

3.379 and others: Fixed.
25.584: While the vocal doesn't exactly land on the 8th I agree, probably an oversight on my part.
*28.172, 39.466: fixed
1:06.201: Disagree, then it would be on the same column as 66.378.
1:14.790: Changed, always hard to tell with these pads/vocals.
1:33.819, 1:34.525: The jumps? To the vocals saying ''3'' and ''2''. I'm pretty sure they start closer to the 16th than the 4th.
1:37.525, 1:39.995, 1:40.172, 1:43.348, 1:50.407: Disagree on 1:37.525, removed all the others.
*01:59.760: Clearly hearing a note there.

Thanks for the notes!

A new chart file was uploaded with the following changes:
----------
Note Count changed: 1463 => 1459
AVG NPS changed: 11.12548 => 11.09506
Hand Bias changed: 21 => 33

1:33.819, 1:34.525: They do when you slow the song down. But when you play on normal speed, they sound like they start more on 4th. Otherwise, those 16th jumps are very confusing.
