Even though this is a 100+ batch, I had to omit some bursts here and there. I tried to be as consistent as possible in what sounds I wanted to use as bursts and which I didn't.

TC_Halogen - 6.5/10
- offset is good
- really backloaded chart; 100+ difficulty section is short (2:24 to 2:55) and everything else is pretty trivial
- with respect to the music, chart structure is at least reasonably coherent, but some of the bursts in the first half feel a bit overdone
- 36.454/etc: should probably be a 192nd here, like the other sound effects
- 1:09.636/etc: white notes are fine if you want to represent them as such, but pay attention to the tonality of the instruments you’re following and ensure that repeated taps is appropriate whenever they appear
- 1:09.017: should be a 16th and three 32nds instead of the four 24ths
- 1:10.642: because these hi-hats constantly appear in the background and generally get ignored, having them here in opposition to the much easier to hear snares makes this feel erroneous to me personally
- 1:52.704/etc: the 16ths being deliberately omitted are pretty audible compared to the rest of the section; these isolated 4ths are a bit strange - it sounds like 5 notes that should be accented with those offbeat 16ths imo
- the hardest part of the chart is a bit too heavy-handed for my tastes given everything beforehand -- yes, I get that for the most part there’s sounds covering nearly every 16th, but restraint away from some of those tougher to hear sounds probably goes a long way
- not necessarily a bad chart, but I think the demographic this is targeted towards would be quite frustrated having to play it, personally

Wiosna - 6.5/10
I'll preface by saying that I personally really don't like the use of white notes for snares from 0:43 to 1:30. While the layering is quite sound, the chart feels quite underwhelming when there are both snares and bass kicks in a certain section because the chart is so light. I don't think that the visual cues really add on to the chart beyond making it feel more visually cluttered, but it doesn't quite feel right to play because of the lack of tension that the snares would create if you were to use doubles for snares (e.g. 0:58, 1:07.392, 1:20.392, etc.)

That said, the bursts in the first half are fine, though I personally would make them 24ths instead of 32nds; the buzzes are quite faint.

The second half (where the part is a continuous JS) though, is where I feel that the bursts are too excessive given the sounds present. A lot of the really short 32nd bursts to faint buzzes and bursts like 2:36.642 like you did in the first half don't really fit this section because of the continuous percussion going on in the chart. I think some of the higher buzzes (e.g. 2:32.204) and lower-pitched bass wobble things (e.g. 2:33.392) are more than fair game, but a lot of the other bursts feel a bit much overall. I'm not sure if the 16th/24th polyrhythm bursts fit either, I think using just 24ths would be fine.

There are also a few small bursts like 2:35.892 that I think require some toning down too, this is really hard. Other minor issues include the continuous burst in 2:39.642 not really fitting the chart given the short loud buzzes here as well.

I think the chart can definitely be very good, but I feel that a good portion of the bursts can be toned down in the second half and there should be more aggressive layering in the first half. These are pretty big structural changes, but I think the chart that you currently have wouldn't make these changes too obstructive.

Do you guys think I should turn this into a <100 chart, or would that defeat the purpose of the 100+ batch :P?

You absolutely should make this easier than 100

I'm working on this right now, might need a bit more time tho..

Closed, since if it were to be fixed, it would be a complete rework.
