(Oubliette) Burning Heat! (Full Option Mix)

Xiao's rating: 3/7

(DGK) Nekomimi Mayohiga Sumai
Summary: MUCH harder version than Ghakimx's. Layered much more severely.

(Ghakimx) Hakai no kuni no arisu -AGGRESSIVE RIOT-

(Classic Rocker) Pink
Summary: HNNNNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHHHHHH
Xiao's rating: 6/7
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Halogen) Explosive
Summary: DAMN SON that was really fun. Heavy is oni underlayered. Oni is layered properly, but it's nothing excessive. Only critique would be that some parts are too excessive on one hand, and the 32nd brackets.
Xiao's rating: 5/7
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Patashu) Lost n' Found
Summary: Nice and mellow chart alongside the song. Makes me want to play Super Monkey Ball.
Xiao's rating: 4/7
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Fysx) Rise n' Beauty
Summary: 1/16 chordstreaming to trance. Mmmmmmm.
Xiao's rating: 5/7
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Fysx) Bitter Chocolate Striker
Summary: 1/8 triplet (1/12s) chordstreaming. This plays a lot like The Deep Striker (since it's also obviously by Denjin K). I don't really like it at all but it's been getting praise so you might.
Xiao's rating: 3/7
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Fysx) Intergalactic (Planetary)
Summary: The chart is fine, but it's Beastie Boys. Kind of boring.
Xiao's rating: 3/7
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Malice) L'erisia -Akaki Tenshi- (Primary Logic)
Summary: A lot of brackets, but a very charming chart nonetheless. Coming from Malice, this is a relatively piss easy chart.

--- EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ISN'T RATED

(Oubliette) 2 Hookers and an Eightball (Full)
Xiao's summary: MSI song. Conversion of DTM's chart.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Ghakimx) Up in the air
Xiao's summary: Not as difficult as Ame ni uta re, fubuki ki sabu. Relatively easy file with simple rhythms. I would say it's beginner-friendly.
Beginner-friendly?: yes
For solords?: no

(Ghakimx) Ame ni uta re, fubuki ki sabu
Xiao's summary: Quite repetitive once again. Some measures are a bit questionable (i.e. using nothing but 2345 making it basically a singles file), but it's a technically alright file. Hearing the chorus like 50 times kind of grated on me. Basic 1/16 streaming with some chords in it. Nothing nasty.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Ghakimx) Nekomimi Mayohiga Sumai
Xiao's summary: found it hard to MA though since you used straight 1/8 stream instead of 1/16 gallops (or 1/8 triplets, I honestly couldn't tell while playing). The song had so much going on that could've made a really fun oni chart. Having measures with nothing but 1/4 notes also made the chart feel really empty; it was kind of boring considering the upbeat style of the song but I suppose that makes it very beginner friendly.
Beginner-friendly?: yes
For solords?: no

(Cherubi & Kommisar) Around the World
Xiao's summary: Difficult chordstreaming file. Oni is worthless. Heavy is fun, albeit hard.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Fysx) End of the Moonlight
Xiao's summary: Plays a lot like the oni charts in XSBP1. Very fun, not too difficult.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Fysx) Udon Kotarou
Xiao's summary: ...
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Debit) DJ Otada
Xiao's summary: Somewhat streamy file. Oni is basically heavy+; random chord bursts make oni feel inconsistent. Chimera's more fun IMO.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Debit) Chimera
Xiao's summary: A bit left hand biased with some slightly strenuous ring trilling/ringjacking but fun file overall. Minor holdstreaming practise.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Patashu) Chaotic WHITE
Xiao's summary: Intermediate heavy chart; basic chord stream. A rather fun file. Oni is the same thing but overlayered as **** with some retarded patterns and heavy jacking.
Beginner-friendly?:no
For solords?: yes (oni)

(who_cares973) Eight Empty Beds
Xiao's summary: Made for beginners to practise chords on. Not the easiest file but still beginner friendly considering the scope of harder files. Quad bait, I have 3p and I can't MA for ****.
Beginner-friendly?: yes
For solords?: no

(Patashu) The Legend of MAX
Xiao's summary: This file is ****
People-friendly? no(Patashu) Bomb This Track
Xiao's summary: It's MSI. Plays like any other MSI file. I don't need to say anything else. Song sucks.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(who_cares973) Cette Année
Xiao's summary: Who_care's first solo chart. Patterns are nothing complex, but the song itself is relatively vanilla and the chart itself tends to follow that trend. Very repetitive with simple note patterns but there's a feeling of inconsistency in the file - especially when a 32nd trill burst and 24th stream come on-screen - that leaves the entire chart feeling a little less than memorable. Not a terrible chart but probably won't play it again.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no

(Patashu) Cradle
Xiao's summary: Oni is a ****ing dump. Heavy/standard are okay, but nothing remarkably fun. Rhythms in all charts are pretty straightforward.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: oni

(Patashu) Don't Say Anything
Xiao's summary: Oni is :ver jacks: with heavy layering, heavy is still relatively jacky for a solo file, standard plays much like a hard chart from a XSBP. Oni is still kind of fun though, heavy is kind of a boring inbetween, and I can see standard being a decent chart for newer players to practise on.
Beginner-friendly?: yes (standard)
For solords?: no

("Dimentio") Foughten Field
Xiao's summary: Very fun file; a marathon, but still very fun nonetheless. Repeating patterns make it easy to pick up after a sightread and while the song isn't for beginners, it's still uses relatively easy patterns for the most part and makes a good intermediate file.
Beginner-friendly?: no
For solords?: no
