Creep (Fission) [7.5/10]

- Perms, metadata, sync are good

*9.488-11:841 - Why does this change suddenly to [13][24] jumps? Compare 6.155-8.704 with 0.000-5.763. As well as 18.166-23.998

39.684 - Not 2? Compare 45.959

40.763 - Should be on col 2, and then the jump at [34]. You did this correctly at 47.037

50.076 - Missing jump technically. The sound is there like in 49.782

*52.429 - The 16th is technically a late 192nd. You did this correctly on the 2nd segment

52.723, 53.017 - Subtle, arguably can be removed

57.674 - There's a swing noise there

59.782 - Too subtle to be represented

1:09.193 - Too subtle to be represented
^ Additionaly, missing jump for the buzz at 1:09.096. Once the other 16 is removed, this could be changed to [34]

1:11.645, 1:11.939 - Suggesting to move these to col 4 to isolate the notes on col 3 from 1:11.253 & 1:11.449

1:15.468 - Too subtle to be represented

*1:22.037 - Should be [14] for the buzz sound. Move it from [34] since the jumpjacks at 1:22.233 is already using these columns

1:23.605 - And this one is not the same as 1:23.213

1:24.880 - Too subtle to be represented

1:30.272-1:33.213 - Why not trills for that?

*1:33.409-1:39.684 - This part is too empty. Add notes for the melody

1:44.193 - Technically [134] according to 1:42.821

2:18.115 - Probably better as [12]2 since the sound of the jump prior is different

2:19.880 - Probably better as not [13] since it's not the same as the [13]s prior

2:43.605, 2:49.389 - Hand?

This file is alright. Overall it is quite bursty but with a lot of downtimes, but generally makes sense. Look into adjusting some of the CR * notes and it's good to go.

Creep (Fission) [8/10]

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

51.057: Very repetitive 51 seconds intro for the overall difficulty of the chart. Do consider a cut.

52.919: This PR is justifiably off given 52.625, but consider something like (12)2(34)(12)3(24)(13)2(14) from the 4th; it would spike a bit due to the burst entry but would greatly improve PR.

1:07.919-1:08.311: Quite heavy/awkward on the left hand here.

1:48.703: Would expect something going into that note.

2:28.997: Move to col 4.

2.32:919: Could afford this one on col 4, (34)43 isn't too tough there.

2:33.605: What is this note? If it's the sliding background chord, that doesn't work.

Fun chart overall. It's a bit stiff at times on the patterning and hand balance but nothing overly bad. It drags a decent amount though so a cut would definitely be nice for that long intro at least. The glitch sounds representation was pretty tame but it did allow for a more consistent structure. Good job.

Deam

9.488-11:841: I didn't think keeping the same columns for 20+ seconds was the right call. I'll think about changing this, but I could see it going either way.
39.684: Fixed.
40.763: Fixed.
50.076: Fixed, changed to 1[24]3[14].
52.723, 53.017: I kept these for continuity with 1:05.174-1:05.958.
57.674: Fixed.
52.919: Fixed.
59.782: Removed.
1:09.193: Removed and fixed.
1:11.645, 1:11.939: Fixed.
1:15.468: Removed.
1:22.037: Fixed.
1:23.605: Fixed, changed to [34].
1:24.880: Removed.
1:30.272-1:33.213: I was charting the repeated sound independent of the volume/panning. That's usually what I do in these situations, and I know some will disagree with it.
1:33.409-1:39.684: Fixed, added 4321. I can't be bothered to cut this to only contain the first melody note so this will do.
1:44.193: Fixed. The reason I didn't do this initially was to keep the columns isolated from the previous note, but it's still worth doing this anyways.
2:18.115: Fixed, changed to [12]2[34].
2:19.880: Fixed, changed to [34].
2:43.605, 2:49.389: I don't think so. This section has a dynamics-based layering approach, and I believe making these hands would make it ambiguous with the other ones.

Oppiie

51.057: I agree. Cutting in the middle of it is pretty annoying since it cuts off notes at the end of the chart, which is the main reason I haven't done it yet.
52.429: Fixed.
1:07.919-1:08.311: Yeah, this roll transition is ugly. Fixed by changing the 16th to 4 which sacrifices a bit of correctness.
1:48.703: This didn't convert well I suppose since this was a hold. Even though I agree with your point I can't think of anything to do here that isn't janky unfortunately.
2:28.997: Fixed.
2.32:919: I would have agreed with this if I didn't apply changes to other instances of very similar sounds of this, but adding it would now be inconsistent.
2:33.605: Good question, I think your assumption is correct and I agree. Removed.

Added 2:19.291 since I didn't notice this before, thanks Benn very cool.

9.488-11:841: But you don't.

On 0:00.077-0:05.763 you do [23] and [14] jumps.

On 0:18.116-0:23.998 you do [13] and [24] jumps.

Only on 0:06.155-0:11.841 you shift the jump motif mid segment ([12][34] and [13][24] in the same segment).

A simple fix to this is to just utilize [12][34] jumps in that segment for consistent column variety.

Fwiw I think it's fine to keep this long intro so long as there is pattern variety between the segments (and there is) and also because this song is a banger.

Everything else is fine. And once there's a response to this note it can be moved to Accepted.
