Devilz Sacrifice:
Favorite bmah file ever in terms of flow and difficulty structure.
Kept it sane and in the nice high 60s/low 70s range the whole way, with appropriate breaks and intense points and without ever getting boring.
Generally also great pattern and rhythm variation... just good stuff.
Also love the song and the token is pretty flavorful despite being really easy compared to the difficulty of file it unlocks.
Only complaint is the [23][1234] ending which is super easy to split lol

Falcon Punch:
Could have been a fun easier file or a fun harder jack file.
Instead struck me as mostly a high 40s/low 50s file with FMO-level split jack/hand transition randomly in the middle.
I've always regretted it when I leave that kind of transition in my files; I really wish other people would stop doing it too.
Other than that part, pretty fun. Not a bad file, but the file is let down a bit in my eyes by the difficulty spike.

^ This is EXACTLY what I struggled with, and tried to meet in the middle but i'm not sure it came off as good as it could have been. I mean I really like the file still but I dunno

Despite it being very poor PR-wise, I would have tended to something like [12] jacks for the first tone in that part, then [34][34][34][134] or something like that instead of split jacks for the higher tone.
Split patterns are just soooo much harder than anything else on FFR (which is why you see them a lot in my hard files heh)

Like I said, not a bad file at all, definitely quite fun.
Probably plays way better on Stepmania too, I think I would be a much bigger fan of the file if I was playing it with chord cohesion.

Finally an Exias song in FFR, he should like this news.

[Xiz]

Good point, I'll consider that for next time.

[Elite Ninja]

Just played Devilz Sacrifice and wow I loved that chart. Really fun to play through the entire song with no boring areas and great flow. One of my favorites from you bmah
