Representation
(10 points maximum)		4while variety and structural modulation can be powerful techniques when executed precicely, implementing them is unnecesary here. the song is musically diverse and balanced enough that any attributes innate to the more variable style could be replicated and characterized w/ more nuanced rhythms and object arrangements. this manifests rhythmically from [00:30:692] to [00:49:750] but applies to a lot of other non-stream patterns as well, particularily those that are 1/2 centric

Hitsounding
(5 points maximum)		2nice piano samples but otherwise hitsounding is pretty basic. dont be afraid to hs instruments other than drums, even minor timbre or sample changes to (for example) portray pitch resets in longer 1/4 patterns can be effective when not excessively noticeable

Representation
(10 points maximum)		3it's hard for players to establish importance on the slider-ends as theyre used in similar ways to portray both distinct sounds and relative silence. esp true in the intro but also w/ stuff like this 00:37:955 (2,3,4,5,6,7)
contextual representation often seems to be discarded in favor of visual patterning+rhythmic consistency

21
Structure
(10 points maximum)		5.5map is cohesive w/o regard to the validity of it's design
i feel this song has more to offer that, in order to be utilized, would require other ideas and by consequence more complex structural coherency. however, in terms of implementation, the ideas currently existant in the map are implemented properly

Judge's Impression
(5 points maximum)		2not a lot to say here, the overall issues fit well into other categories
the interpretation used when mapping this song isnt flawed but its not clearly portrayed or well-defined. establishing proper physical representation is likely (but not necessarily) a prequisite to creating a more musically inclusive and/or detailed structure, and doing so should help broadly in creating a contexture that's musically defining in some regard

31
Representation
(10 points maximum)		6rhythm is good for the most part. differences in contrast throughout individual patterns in some sections feel kinda miniscule and hard to notice as a player w/o explicit focus
the difficulty spike near the end of the kiai is misleading as to the song's intensity

Structure
(10 points maximum)		6.5implementation is pretty consistent overall, tho theres instances where individual notes/patterns are out of place or misrepresentative
34
35
Hitsounding
(5 points maximum)		2.5various samples are used in a way thats not overwhelming. while the samples chosen arent particularly complementary in terms of timbre, theyre effective in portraying specific sounds in a semi-complex manner
25% vol for the intro is probably a bit too quiet in context tho

43
Representation
(10 points maximum)		3.75while not necessarily flawed individually, the mapping choices often contradict eachother in terms of how they represent the music. most notably, clickable 1/4 is used to represent various intensities + sounds throughout the map without according change. ill list more examples under structure as these issues partially overlap
1/4 sequences near the end of the map could have focused more on gameplay
44
45
Structure
(10 points maximum)		3.5the map as a whole lacks both interal and collab-specific cohesion. for example, compare [00:49:955 - 00:59:801] to the prior section, [00:47:801 (1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2,1)] to [00:37:955 (1,2,3,4,1,2,1,2,1,2,1)], and [00:59:801 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,3)] to both [01:02:263 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,1,2,3,1,2,3)] and [01:04:724 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,1,2)] (sorry for the long timestamps :/). it seems like there was no clear and/or agreed upon intent when mapping this which was likely a contributing factor
46
47
Hitsounding
(5 points maximum)		2hitsounding is basic but acceptable for the most part. probably could have done something for [00:49:955 - 00:59:801] and [01:19:955 - 01:26:878] which arent hitsounded currently
nice use of volume changes at 01:26:878 (1,1,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2)

Representation
(10 points maximum)		6.25rhythms are accurate insofar as they accurately follow a specific interpretation (aka despite not always following the song). inputs didnt really feel invalid at any point
what i wrote under structure should also apply here to an extent
56
57
Structure
(10 points maximum)		6.5unsure if this is the correct terminology but uh.. the map is effective in continuously reestablishing a macrostructural effect and doesnt really deviate from or break it at any point + is internally cohesive in that it follows the same premise throughout
58
59
Hitsounding
(5 points maximum)		3i appreciate the additive hitsound usage, in this case it seems theyre used primarily to compensate for lack of percussion on vocals. the actual variety of hitsounds used and the way they constantly alternate between each other without feeling intrusive is nice, notably for something like this where hitsounds play an integral role by default

(10 points maximum)		5the 1/2 accelerative/decelerative arrangements from 00:30:692 to 00:39:339 are kinda cool. something else could have been done for the more repetitive sections like [01:20:103 - 01:39:515]5.38
78
79
Representation
(10 points maximum)		6.25pattern usage is initially effective in vitalizing musical rhythms that could otherwise feel repetitive. however, as musical sections progress and note sequences change or sounds are introduced, the map begins to feel static in that it lacks similar forms of (or absence of) variation. motions follow the song in a manner thats somewhat capricious by default which likely makes them less prone to modulation indirectly - although it's admittedly harder to adapt patterns in this instance it could have been considered more while designing the map. in premise this overlaps w/ structure but fundamentally restricts how the song can be represented
transitory emphasis on individual notes is mostly okay though, and otherwise there's no major problems
80
81
Structure
(10 points maximum)		6.25collab could have been organized/planned better, some musically similar sections are mapped contrastingly i.e [00:30:692 - 00:40:574] and [00:40:574 - 00:50:456]
no other issues in terms of structure. while technically not a creative element, the var-distance streams are implemented surprisingly well

Creativity
(10 points maximum)		6.5map perceptually aligns w/ the song's dynamic feel in a way thats makes for a nice experience
only issue i have w/ this map in terms of creativity is the amount of repition in the second kiai, i feel using more varied patterns with similar effects could have contributed to the experience mentioned above		6.06
90
91
Representation
(10 points maximum)		6while emphasis is okay, apart from scaling spacing up/down based on pitch it's also kinda vague/convoluted. not sure if this is intentional and its not bad if it is, but the map is certainly more proficient in producing an overall effect than in contrasting individual notes among each other

Hitsounding
(5 points maximum)		2i'd like to suggest not using the normal hitwhistle this much w/o selectively decreasing it's volume. it doesnt really complement any of the other default hitsounds or this song
otherwise uh, hs are simple and accurate. the whistle spam is hard to look past, though
