Mostly just dipping my toes back into stepping with something fairly straightforward. Keeping the difficulty relatively low on purpose. There are definitely parts during the 2nd and 4th sections where there aren't always jumps on every bass drum hit, but the ability to follow the melody in between the hits that don't have tones on them feels important to me for the flow of the file.

My old disclaimer: If you have comments along the lines of 'you could layer this more densely and make it higher difficulty' unless you think the file will not work without that layering, I would rather err on the side of making it easier over harder.

✔️ This chart has been marked as final and shouldn't receive any more changes.

Missed that AV dropped a .old file in there on me.

- 31.855: I get the pattern wraps around, but PR feels a little strange here. No need to change anything, because it makes sense, but it always feels a little strange when the lowest note ends on [4] haha, very subjective tho.
- 57.255, 70.055, 70.455(etc.): You could follow the melody by using different jumps, for example [34] would be the highest pitch and then it would go down to [24][14][23][13][12]. But I completely understand the reasoning for keeping them singles.
- 63.655: I'm guessing this is not a jump because of difficulty concerns?
- 64.655, 115.855, 123.855: I don't like how this is a jack, no sound repeats.
- 76.855: This is absolutely awesome, getting donkey kong country vibes from this music.
- 117.455: Should be on [1] for PR.

This is a great song, awesome stuff. File is pretty basic but it follows the song fairly well, I think you could've made it more dynamic by following the pitch by employing different jumps than just [14] and [23], but the file is coherent and pretty fun all things considered.

Judge Score: 8.00 - Accepted

*52.055-1:16.455/1:43.255-2:08.055 - These two sections have their melodies charted, but the flow is off from the inconsistent jump layering (the melody has jumps and no jumps at the same time). I've thought up three (could be more, who knows) solutions to this inconsistency: (1.)Do the thing you don't like, which is putting jumps on Kick/Clap during the melody (2.)Do only singles for the melody (3.)Do only jumps for the melody, and do only singles for the Kick/Clap
1:16.855-1:42.455 - Gotta differentiate this section from 25.655-51.255. Maybe put jumps here on the Kick/Clap?

>>Normally I'd reject this file just for the lack of PR in 52.055-1:16.455/1:43.255-2:08.055. But I think this file can easily be salvaged

Judge Score: 7.00 - Fixes Required

----------
Note Count changed: 446 => 418
AVG NPS changed: 3.48347 => 3.26477
Hand Bias changed: -44 => -56

I've pretty completely retooled those sections at 52.055/1:43.255 to hopefully deal with the PR concerns. I definitely got too stuck on the [1][4]/[2][3] jumps but I landed on essentially an amalgam of suggestion 1/2 which is to say, I changed all the kick/claps to 1/4 instead of jumps, kept the melody as singles, but much better PR, and they only become jumps when the melody layers on top of a kick or clap. Hopefully this works better.

In terms of differentiating between 0:25 and 1:16, I feel like the melody and thus patterning is distinct. I mean in both cases it's a big long stream, but the opening set has a sort of 1/1/1/2/3 scheme and the latter set has a 1/2/1/2/3/4/3/4 kind of scheme.

Amazing solution. CQ/FR* issue is resolved. Just a few more PR suggestions:
1:48.455 - Do [14]
1:48.855 - Do [13]
1:51.655 - Do [2]
1:52.055 - Do [13]
2:01.255 - Do [14]
2:01.655 - Do [13]
2:05.655 - Do [24]
2:06.055 - Do either [12] or [13]
2:07.655 - Do [12]
2:08.055 - Do [13]
There are a few spots where u break that "Kick/Clap-1/4" rule b/c u have to wrap around due to PR. Some of my suggestions take that into consideration

Glad that helped resolve it. Adopted those PR suggestions as well, thanks! Should be final version then.
