Great concepts with the 8th jack motif.

After the fixes that were made to the file, the flow is more apparent and easier to play. You showed a good aptitude to readjusting some patterns and I can see the improvements after just a few changes.

Please don't get discouraged by the rejected status. I can see what you were going for with this file, and I love this kind of concept. The repetitive 8th jacks are great for this chart and it makes hitting the chords and rolls feel natural and fluid. I don't usually implement rolls, so the way that you used it here is quite clever and it's making me want to borrow this concept for my future files. However, this file is rough on the edges in regards to pattern, PR, and hold usage.

My first minor concern is the section from m7. I'm just wondering why you chose to chart the melody as an 8th minijack (13324...) when you have a fair amount of real estate here for the melody to roam. Maybe this is deliberate to prep the player for the rest of the file, but I feel like you'd get much more out of adhering to PR for this. From m93, the stream is continuous to m96. From m97, the stream that comes afterward is again continuous until 02:19.386. Be aware of slight playability awkwardness with the combination of holds during this section. You can probably get away with omitting the holds and sticking with layering if the streams are too weird with them implemented.

For my next and main concern regarding pattern usage and holds: chill with the holds, homie lol. A lot of the pattern awkwardness is coming from too many holds and hold inconsistencies. If you can tone down the use of holds, the file is already decent. As for patterning:

Here's a common example of what I mean when I say rough. For the difficulty that I'm feeling for this file, hitting these notes shouldn't be very difficult. But this is awkward to hit and hard to read. When you have one-handed anchors between 3 fingers on the right hand like this on top of having to hold down a freeze, it's hard to capture flow without your right hand getting tangled up. There are other sections similar this in other parts of the file as well. Instead, maybe try a pattern like this:

Or you can also step the right hand as 5[46][46][46]5. This way, the holds are more pronounced and not muddled between the chords, and the right handed doubles aren't awkward to hit. If you can rearrange the chord/hold patterns in your chart that are similar to this, you've essentially cut your flow issues by a large margin already.

To sum it all up:
- Limit hold usage.
- Fix some chord patterns.
- Pitch relevancy and missing notes.

Keep trying, dude. I love what you have going on here, just needs a little patching up is all. Remember that you have tons of space here to play around in. If you need any help at all, please don't hesitate to HMU.

Comfortable and fluid chart with lots of one handed doubles, but XMOD gimmicks can be hard to react to due to high speed BPM changes.

Unique way of stepping this. I can understand the kind of feel that you're going for in this chart and it makes sense as you were being fairly consistent with it. There were a lot of one-handed doubles/triples that were fluid to hit and the notes were easy to read. There were some parts that I thought were missing notes during the chorus and its vocals, but I could kind of see that you were utilizing some selective layering to emphasize the voice (?) Overall, good pattern usage and fairly straightforward on CMOD.

That said, let's cover the file's XMOD and BPM gimmicks! For the most part, they're great for when it works and I can read them. The stutters make sense and look fantastic. However, readability is the main issue in some of the portions that reach nearly mach speed. I glanced over the chart in AV to take a closer look at the BPM changes and I'm seeing that your BPM is being multiplied by up to 4x then coming to a sudden stop, making it really hard to react. Granted, the notes are predictable thanks to how you're using those mines, which help. But it's still just a bit jarring. I mean it's hard, but is it so much that it causes the file to be not fun? I don't personally think so, but this is really left up to the player and whether or not they enjoy something like this. It also adds a level of replayability as well which definitely isn't bad, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ grain of salt and all that.

To sum it all up:
- Comfortable, fluid, easy-to-read patterns.
- Maybe the BPM gimmicks can be a bit much.

POWER TWO - Accepted
Simple, straightforward file for intermediate players trying to get used to basic 6k patterns.

Pretty easy and flowy file, but super fun nonetheless. Your style is consistent throughout the file and it works for the song that it is. The streams, anchors, and doubles are easy to hit and the mini-jacks fit right in. I don't really have any gripes aside from maybe a few holds that might be awkward to hit, but it's kind of a non-issue since you have a few chances to adapt to it and hit them. The file as it is now is fine without any changes, but feel free to move some patterns around.

Excellent chart that is challenging, fun, and has great flow.

One of my favorite files from you. I love that you were able to chart this song the way that you did. The patterns that you chose to step certain portions of the song were very accessible, sensible, and comfortable to hit. The climax and more layered sections were challenging to hit, but just right for me to appreciate both the way you layered, sequenced the notes, and the song itself. I did initially have trouble hitting the mine section just due to nature of having to juggle holds and mines, but I think it adds to the gimmick. The notes placed in this part were also sparse enough to keep the mine field interesting and fun to watch and play.

Straightforward hype chart with plenty of fun patterns with an amazing breakdown sequence. Ending climax is a bit much, though.

Super fun chart. Most of the patterns are unique and flow well and the layered portions are fun to hit. Maybe a bit of the single note streams can be a little awkward to hit, but that's just a personal gripe. It should be fine as it is. When the rap section with the 12ths and 24ths come in, I loved the way it felt to hit thanks to the added [12] to amplify and emphasize bass. The BPM shift just after this part is handled really well, too. From here, the chart continues being slick and polished. Then we hit the climax and its accompanying chords. Reading upscroll, it was fairly straightforward, but pretty hard to read and hit. Downscroll, I failed pretty quickly. It's a pretty sizeable shift in difficulty and it definitely took me by surprise when I tried it the first time. I can accept this for what it is, but if you can tone down the layers in this part, that'd make it so much more palatable.

Very good intermediate chart with tricky holds to keep the player invested.

At first, I was a little on the fence regarding some of the hold sections. But upon replay, they served as a good means for me to stay interested in the file. You balance both hands very neatly and the patterns feel deliberate to cater to the player level that I think you have in mind. There aren't many, if any, glaring mistakes in the file aside from minor pattern surprises. All in all, an enjoyable file to practice doubles, chords, and holds.

Solid chart with very consistently sensible patterns that add to the appreciation of both the chart and song.

Love this song, and I somehow knew that you'd deliver the goods. This chart is very cohesive of all of the charting elements that you put into it (mine placement, structure sense, vocal emphasis, PR, etc), with the spotlight emphasizing each different theme at separate points, but not completely ignoring any of the others, so you'll always get a small taste of each as it peeks into the chart in each department throughout the song. Your patterns in this file and your previous one are definitely showing your improvement as a charter with comfort, balance, and fun factor. One minor gripe that I do have is that some parts in the file do lack for a bit more punch in the layering sense. This is fine as it is, but a small revisit here would add more spice to your chart.

Tricky file complemented with swing patterns.

Very interesting file with different elements, namely the swing patterns. A lot of the difficulty from this file stems from the 64th rhythm and this makes the file work so well. I want to say there might be some awkwardness in these areas. But I feel like, as it is now, it works because of its pattern usage.
