56 Seconds Later (TheTrueXfish) [5.5/10]

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

33.195: Jump at the very least, if not hand.

50.481 & 50.767: Jumps, vocals + kick.

57.338 & 58.481 & 59.624 & 1:02.195 & 1:03.053: Missing notes. Check for more, especially considering that you layer 1:01.910 which is also subtle.

59.053: Why a jump? A single would make more sense on these, see the other iterations too.

1:02.624: Eh, it's fine but there's so much going on and so much intensity in this section, it feels a bit underwhelming having just a jump for this sound for example.

1:05.981: Missing note.

1:07.124: Another missing note. Check for consistency with how these slide sounds are layered in every section. Like why no slide at 1:08.267 like the previous section?

1:14.338-1:32.624: This section really lacks representation. It being just another set of jumps and hands while the song is so different makes the chart very monotonous.

1:18.481: Why different column?

1:37.767: Quite early for the vocal note.

1:42.910: Jump?

1:46.053: No roll at all, no nothing?

1:50.338: Nothing for this buzz drum fade in?

1:57.767: At this point the (34)(12) jumptrill has been used for 3 different things; the variety is lacking.

2:06.910: (123) for better PR as to no repeat the constant (34).

2:07.910: Missing note.

2:08.553: Missing note.

2:13.624: Ghost jump.

2:15.481: Yet again another (34)(12) jumptrill.

2:27.124: Ghost note.

2:59.338: Missing note.

Overall this chart plays nicely in terms of friendliness, however it has a significant amount of layering and consistency issues. Moreover, the variety is a bit lacking given that the song has quite unique sections yet the charting remains pretty similar throughout, which hurts the general representation. There's a lot of potential for a super fun chart here, but unfortunately there's a fair amount of work to be done still to reach the threshold.

Judge Score: 5.50 - Rejected

25.910 - guitar note here
30.338 - not hearing a note here
33.195 - you’re going to represent this whole breakdown with this one note?
1:14.338 - 1:32.624 - this section.. I can’t really call it wrong, but it’s definitely very underwhelming to flatten this to chordjacks. It’s also too similar to the previous section so it comes off as repetitive too. If you wanted to make this harder, this would be a prime section for some more interesting bursts/wubdumping
1:32.910 - 1:41.767 - (subjective, can ignore) recommend adding notes for all the background piano here or removing 1:36.624 / .910
2:00.053, etc - hoo boy this section is hard on the ears. I’d want an audio adjustment done before I’d accept this song
2:04.053, 2:13.195 - 32nds
2:59.338 - think you’ll want a note here

1:14.338 section is a microcosm of my primary issue with the chart as a whole. The chordjack-y approach for essentially the entire chart flattens the song too much when it offers plenty of opportunities to make something more dynamic. The song railroads you into a highly simplified approach with parts like 2:00.053 being essentially just straight 4ths, so to keep it interesting a more varied approach in the rest of the song is pretty important.

As is, it’s an okay approach. But leads to the chart feeling flat and unchanging, not quite something I can see an FFR audience for.

Judge Score: 6.50 - Rejected
