Removed an accidental 0-Framer, re-done one of the end poly sections for better hand-to-hand playability, and removed a couple notes in the intro spike for more comfortability.

Jump usage in the file isn't entirely clear to me, at first I thought the jumps were ride + kick/snare, but there are several dry kicks that are jumps and several that aren't, it doesn't seem super consistent, unless I'm missing a super intricate jump scheme. I won't mention it throughout the file because I don't want my notes to get too long, but I highlighted some of them in my notes below:

- 3.088: why is this a single as opposed to 3.570?
- 10.750: Here a hi-hat is a jump?
- 14.174: Why isn't this a jump?

19.554: You're missing a bunch of notes here, I'm not entirely sure why u introduced more notes at 19.839, what's different from 19.714~ etc.
20.512: I feel this ''grace'' note isn't really necessary.
22.556: Crash + scream + laser gets the same treatment as scream + tom @21.924?
47.175: Missing note.
52.637: Why jump?
63.072: Why jump?
63.154: Missing note.
68.697, 69.512, 70.164: Jump?
72.855: This doesn't seem enough to be a hand.
79.050: If 78.561 is a hand, this should be a hand as well surely.
91.931: Jump.
117.977 - 119.159: I found this part really spiky, definitely the hardest part of the chart for me.
142.474: The way you patterned this isn't really congruent with the melody, you made 3-note patterns, but the melody consists of 4 notes. It makes this section feel off to me.
Jump PR in this section isn't all that great either, I kinda think this needs to be redone completely.

I found this chart pretty fun, but there were sections in this that felt really weird to me. The jump use wasn't entirely clear to me either, I think this is due to having an intricate jump scheme and not being entirely consistent with it. I wish I could accept this, but to me it's too technically inconsistent and needs some work. It's borderline acceptable though, the chart is fun and the song is hard to step and you did a decent job, but I feel it could be so much more.

The Dowgnggy (gold stinger) [7/10] -FR-

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

20.492 [FR]: Tone this burst down, it's quite jank and spiky on the left hand.

23.556 [FR]: Would stop the burst here and just continue with 24ths at 23.617, 23.672 and a jump at 23.740 for the drums. As is it's so spiky for essentially undistinguishable glitch noises.

37.476 & 40.085 & 42.693 & 45.302: Why no jumps? Melody + kick. Also check the whole section at 1:40.411 for those. Arguable but given how rough the whole intro is there's no reason to go easy on the layering of the slower sections.

45.628: Jump.

47.197: Missing 16th around here. It's like 1:44.894 for example.

1:03.155: Missing note. No need to omit it.

1:12.041-1:12.693: Weird PR.

1:15.628-1:16.117: Also PR.

1:21.987: Maybe a (13) here?

1:40.411: Jumps to kicks like 37.476 etc. Also arguable.

1:40.465: Missing 24ths to match 1:39.922.

1:48.563: Jump, same as 45.628.

1:48.971: Missing 16th just like 47.197.

1:50.764: Missing 16th on col 3 here.

1:51.905: Missing note.

1:52.558: Missing, arguable.

1:57.666: Quite audible, missing note.

2:21.987: 12ths stop here.

2:22.313-2:43.183 [FR]: The PR here is noticeably bad. The approach at 1:21.661 for example was much better because it repeats on 4 notes sequences just like the song, whereas this ending uses triplets instead which dont match the song.

2:40.791: Mistake.

Cute chart, has nice motifs and a good amount of variety. However the intro should most likely be toned down a notch because it's pretty jarring, and the whole colored ending definitely has to be repatterned because the PR is very clearly incorrect.
