The Lovely, Freezing, etc. Hot Spring (yoshl)

Offset: Obeys beat 0 and within 5ms. Yes. The gimmicks cause a few ms of drift by the end, but it's within acceptable distance (< 5 ms).

Hard:
47.201 - whenever a part like this comes up, it tends to have a different color scheme. Why...just for colors' sake?
63.477 - ahahaha I hate this section so much, along with the following half-bpm bit, but at least it's readable.

Overall it's p nice, takes some learning, but that's the case with any gimmick file. Compare Gateway.

Medium:
16.084 - this drum hit should probably be distinct from the 8ths that follow it, as it is a different sound. Creates some nice movement, though.
48.477 - OW, einhander.
52.307, 53.584 & more - These aren't as bad of trills as 48.477, though, because it's easier to read the rhythm with more typical coloring.

Appropriately toned down. Same as hard with respect to having to learn the gimmicks, which is perfectly fine given their aggressive nature in amod.

Easy:
15.605 - a bit fast for easy, but simple enough to see.
54.541 - by this time, I was expecting to have some 8th stream again or something else to break up the jumps.

Great job making the gimmicks very doable while not killing the difficulty.

Beginner: (NPS: 1.84 < 2)

Awesome.

e: Accepted. If you feel anything mentioned is worthy enough for a resubmission, then by all means resubmit, but the charts are good as-is.

Kisler can you do me a favor and be a little more clear if you're accepting or rejecting files? Sometimes I'm not sure.

You're right. I need to improve clarity. So DJ was actually pushing me in the right direction.

Well, as much as I complained about the one-handed trills in medium, it is a well-made chart and a step down in difficulty. I'm going to edit in that they're accepts.

[Saphira]

Thanks much, don't mean to be a pain or anything haha.

(T) Technique - sim author's skills in pattern manipulation
(S) Sync - offset, BPM shifts, no misrhythms (obvious errors)
(I) Interpretation/Expression - creativity and imagination in translating the music, evoking meaningfulness in the file
(E) Engagement - fun, replayable and shows no signs of dragging the player along
(F) Flow - matching scales/chord progression, proper structure to the file, good transitions
(A) Additional deductions

Hard: 3/2/3/3/3/(0) [14/15]

The steps for the charts seem pretty solid, but there's a few gimmicks I'm a little iffy on. Certain sections the song just don't really have something that stands out for the player to easily pick up on. But players could learn them.

Medium: 2/2/3/3/3/(0) [13/15]

Going through as I'm playing I notice a lot of similarities to the hard chart. Otherwise the chart is pretty solid.

Easy: 2/3/3/2/3/(0) [13/15]

Overall pretty good but like Kisler mentioned around 54.541 I would have liked to see some more 8th streaming or something. That section drags a little bit.

Beginner: 2/3/3/2/3/(0) [13/15]

Falls under the 2tps rule, but some of the gimmicks feel really hard for a beginner chart to me. I'd recommend removing a few arrows in some of the sudden gimmicks.

[yoshl]

sent in fixes (stepclouds 2327-2330)

I couldn't exactly remove some of the stuff, because of some weird error in ddream. most of the unnecessary stuff is gone though.

[Saphira]

Resub posted, I'll check it out later.

[Saphira]

Gave the resub a run through, still looks good and the gimmicks look easier on the easier difficulties. So still all accepts from me.
