TC_Halogen - 7.5*/10
- offset is good
- 11:498/etc: not all of these are kicks (12.536 is more accurately layered)
- 14.498: could be cool to accent this more dissonant chord with something
- 16.805: this is a consistently applied accent that, given the overall structure of everything else around, could honestly be omitted; it doesn’t represent what it’s following well because the sound is not only very faint, but also quite a bit longer than what you’re accommodating for, lending itself to run into other things if it’s to be accented properly
- 37.690: the heck is with the BPM changes here?
- 40.517: no need to include this as a jump here, your layering structure was fine as explicit and constrained as it was, it works
- 51.940: missing note
- 55.575: missing triple for the consistent cymbal crash you’re following in the section
- 56.267: out of place triple, same reason as earlier; also, what you’re following with the 12ths here is extremely faint and probably not worth including given that it creates some polyrhythmic structures
- 57.959: and while it’s a bit more apparent what the 12ths follow here, it’s just another situation where the attention is focused on what’s followed on the other layer here, such that you can omit it (like you do at 1:01.575, for example)
- 1:02.151: should be five 32nds
- 1:05.382: why do you opt into 24ths here but not 32nds like earlier?
- 1:06.998: some missing 32nds here
- 1:07.690: missing note?
- in general, structure gets a bit shaky from 55.575 to 1:12.190
- 1:10.344: there is a LOT of stress on the right hand here, that’s bordering on an extended right-handed trill, which at 260 is extremely difficult compared to a lot of what’s in here
- 1:13.805/etc: at the very least, 1:13.863 is a ghost note, but given that this is downtime, it might be better to remove the other 16th as well and follow the dominant percussion
- 1:15.421: doubles for snares here but what about earlier in the section? There’s other 8th note instances where the melody and the snares coincide at the same time
- 1:18.882: not particularly bad to play, but feels a bit rough given the pacing of the song
- 1:19.805: again, watch your pattern distribution, a lot of stress on one hand (right) there
- 1:26.036: oof
* 1:33.090: fuck right off with this, ahahahahaha
- structurally, this file’s not bad at all, but there are some really frustrating spikes; i’d taper the one-handed trills a bit and reduce the density of the 4th roll a bit at the end, since it comes out to approximately 250 BPM 48ths near the end which is a bit much

Wiosna - 6.5/10
intro seems a bit oddly layered because of the 16th jumptrills, the 16th jumptrills aren't straight jumptrills given your approach, so you might want to take a look at that again
16.805 - really not sure about this 24th/16th burst given how light the sound is
18.421 - given how little emphasis you give to the snares, i don't think that it makes much sense for you to have this split jumptrill section (particularly the 5-note OH trill) here. i think it makes more sense to make the 3-note split jumptrill a standard jumptrill instead
18.651 - really soft sound here, not sure if 24ths work here. same goes for a lot of 24ths in this section
25.344 - you should probably place a 3-note anchor here for the snares
26.844 - you can definitely place a 4-note anchor here instead of what you currently have, it wouldn't be too egregious
31.690 - can't reallly tell what these 16ths are going to
36.421 - i hate this pattern so much but this works fine
56.267 - can't hear what these 12ths are going to, the bass wobble?
58.228/1:00.075 - same issue as 18.651, not sure if the bursts work given how soft these sounds are. given that this constitutes a good portion of 51.621 to 1:12.190 (and is the bulk of difficulty), this is a very notable problem
1:04.113 - this part seems a bit too aggressively layered given how you've been layering bass kicks and snares
1:10.334 - ^
1:26.056 - ow
1:43.289 - you should definitely nerf this OH minitrill

- interesting layering overall, i think the bass = doubles approach is neat, though i probably wouldn't go that approach personally
- these bursts really don't complement the song, which unfortunately constitute a lot of the chart
- a lot of weird difficulty spikes here and there because of how many OH trills you use in certain sections
- don't really care for the red wall, the transition out of it might be a bit too much given how fast it is, but i'll delegate this to other judges because i personally can hit this fairly consistently.
- chart is otherwise fairly sound, but i do think that there are some structural changes needed (especially the bursts) to make this acceptable

re-opened since this is technically a passing score (for 2021), but was given a reject based on how Halogen handled ratings. Could see this go in with some of the above fixes.
