ModeratorPlayed the hard chart on SC before I started judging, and I gotta say this was pretty well done. Nice length, nice flow, well done.
Hard:
- I like the purple blips to accent the screams~
- Not sure if intentional or not, but missing 8th at 54.15
- Big empty spot at 69.98 - 71.65, there's a guitar that plays only in the right speaker/headphone, it'd be nice to have a right-sided little section there to accommodate for the quietness and the fact that it's centered on the right side. Aesthetic~
Medium:
- 28.65 you have 16th note gallops, but in sections similar to it you have full 16th note mini streams. If you're attempting to compensate for the difficulty, it might feel or look a bit better with trips instead. Just feels kind of awkward like this.
- Having the empty space at 69.98 here isn't so much of an issue.
Easy:
- Right off the bat, this is a bit too similar to medium in the 8th note section. A way you could compensate for it is spots like 7.31, 9.98, and 12.65, these are technically not going to anything prominent, they're almost ghost notes. Consider removing these and sort of depleting the difficulty a bit more.
Otherwise this looks pretty solid, I just wish that the beginning to about 16.65 to be brought down just a bit.
Beginner:
First note: 5.98
Last note: 101.31
Total time: 95.33
Total notes: 157
NPS: 1.647
Couple things:
- Holds at 48.65, 49.98, and 51.31 all go past the 4th notes, but the one at 52.65 ends at the 4th note. Probably would be better for beginners if the holds ended at each 4th note.
- This is a purely subjective note, but the last two holds, the first is on 1 and the second is on 4, I'd LOVE IT if you switched them since the first one, the music is in the right speaker/headphone and the second one is opposite. Another spot to make it aesthetically pretty and cool :3
For my verdict, I'm super on the fence. I had to ask a few people on how to approach this, and I guess this is the best way. I do light accept all of these charts, but I really wish some of the things I mentioned were looked at and potentially considered before being put in. It's a good chart, but it could be better.
Hard - Absolutely LOVED what you did with the 24ths in this chart. Really well done on this. No complaints from me.
Medium - Love how you accent the stutter scream with trills, but then at M20 they're sorta just weird as gallops. That's my only gripe with this chart. Otherwise very well done, I enjoyed it.
Easy - Really solid chart, you did really well representing the sounds with patterns even though it was just 8th notes.
Beginner - No complaints.
Overall the charts are really solid. There may be a minor thing here or there, but really nothing that should stop this from going in. Accepted

Serious errors.
Additional deductions.
Minimum acceptance: 12/15
-> offset is fine.
Hard: 3/2/3/3/3/(0) [14/15]
- 18.647: these snares are flams, so you have the option of accenting it more correctly. Split those jumps into 32nds for a more accurate feel.
- 29.647: another set of flams. Just listen around and add them if you care. It's not a huge deal.
- 39.314: kinda wish you would have caught the voice again, because the 16th/24th blip combinations are awesome, haha.
- 50.897/52.564: ghost notes? can't hear anything on the 16ths.
- love the gap at 69.981, very stylistic transition
- 95.314: nice job capturing the tom accents!
Really solid file. Very enjoyable.
Medium: 3/3/3/3/3/(0) [15/15]
- 28.647: awesome way to accent the moving drum roll.
- 69.981: gap works nicely here too.
Nothing even close to wrong with this file on an objective level. Excellent job.
Easy: 2/3/3/3/3/(0) [14/15]
- nice job using the same rhythm as Medium but giving an entirely different and easier feel.
- good attention paid to drums without directly layering up
- guitar runs look visually correct even toned down
- 56.647: a bit of a difficulty spike
- gap is good
- really liking the indirect PR
- drum fills with freezes are excellent
Awesome file, just wasn't a fan of that abrupt 8th note stream.
Beginner: 3/3/3/3/3/(0) [15/15]
first tap: 5.981; last tap: 101.314; length: 95.333; taps: 157; NPS: 1.65
- good detail within phrases by connecting them with two consecutive 4th notes
- nice difficulty boost in the final third of the file
Well done -- a good majority of the chart is a note every two beats, but it's the phrase transitions that make this a better file. The last third of the file makes up for a relatively slow pace, very nice job manipulating the two note per second boundary to your favor.

ModeratorBeginner was the only one I saw changes in that I had addressed, and I was delighted to see the little cute thing I suggested xD my verdict stands as stated above.

Can't get much better than this.- 18.647: these snares are flams, so you have the option of accenting it more correctly. Split those jumps into 32nds for a more accurate feel.

Congratulations on the first 60/60, haha!
