Well done. No nitpicks from me.
Just a little thing on rhythm choice: about halfway through the song, there's a part in the song with a 4th and an 8th, that was not stepped accordingly (beats 172-180). Just a really minor thing.
Pretty good. There's a couple of parts that require a bit of stretching, but overall the chart was good.

アスカBad Girl (w/ Lancaster) [Pandemonium X] -
tbh that's not a 3. It's more of a 4 with all the 4th streams. There were a couple of things I thought were weird. There were the long freezes around 60 combo (beat 72-84) that kind of threw off the rhythm of the steps. The steps that came after it didn't feel right because of it. Also within the first 20 steps, I noticed an awkward doublestep that would have thrown me off had I actually been playing on pad. (beat 8-12) The 8ths towards the end (between Beats 175 and 191) fit the song, but the rhythmic flow felt kind of weird. I feel that 4ths could have sufficed there.
Standard pulled off those long freezes better than . There were some rhythmic choices that I question in this chart. xxxx-xx didn't really seem to go with anything. The 16ths during that one part were not done well, IMO (beats 88-94) There are a few doublesteps: from beats 63-79, 113-125.
ehhh. It was better than the other two charts, but I felt like it was missing something. I don't think the song was very steppable aside from 4th notes with the backbeat. I also found some parts where the rhythms didn't really work (68-76)

Rhythms were nice, but I think the patterning needs some work. There's more to Basic charts than rocking back and forth, i.e. L-R-L, U-R-U, D-U-D, etc. This chart is more of a 4.
This could use a bit of work. Some of the rhythms felt off and incorrect, actually. The 4th at beat 57 should be shifted down an 8th; same thing happens at 261. 110-112 the jump felt misplaced
Wow, very jumpy. I like how everything went with the music this time around.
Comments on the song itself: This definitely could've had some gimmicks, like stops everywhere, would have been cool to see in at least one chart (yes, there is a way to do that). I was hoping at least one of the charts would go to the bass/drums during that one part towards the beginning (beats 84-116) (that's probably because I like stepping to the bass). Let's see what your competition has to offer.

Elevate Myself [NuVirus] - The breaks in all the charts are kind of odd. Well, not odd, but I can't think of the right word. It's definitely different
- interesting Basic chart, not necessarily in a good way. The sudden pad switching is definitely not worthy of a Basic chart (beats 124-152). The chart could've started later, too, I don't think stepping the guitars was necessary; those guitar rhythms also seemed off, like they should have been shifted an 8th up or down. There's some stretching that should be toned down in some way from beats 220-228, IMO.
- I liked the rhythms here a little better. The pad switching is also really strange and is not worthy of a Difficult chart either. P1U-P1D-P1U---P2D-P2U-P2D is pushing the difficulty and capabilities of people who play Difficult charts (beats 220-228 especially). Other stretching includes 244-248. Pattern placement needs some work.
- There's a lot of stretching. I, for one, don't particularly enjoy stretching; I hate when I break my combo because I miss the panel. This is likely what would happen if I played this song on pad. Some excessive stretching is seen in 160-168, 225-226
I am seriously amazed/appalled at how stretchy this chart is. I'd hate to play this. I do like how there were fewer breaks in this chart, though; good job there. I feel like it should have been something like this for the chart, too.

Bring Me To Life [Spork!] - I'll get detailed feedback later

Bad Girl (w/Lancaster) [Pandemonium X] - Fantastic banner and sample length. Props for including full singles for the other half of Round 1. has a really awkward crosspad jump in M9. Otherwise solid, felt a lot like On The Jazz Singles and I am a fan. is FAR too complicated for a 5 imo, with the complicated jump patterns and the crossover 8ths in M27 (yes, I know it makes sense). has a rather awkward transition in M3 where you have to reposition yourself to stay straight. Otherwise very well made, maybe a super easy 4.

Benibotan [ledgam3r1279] - Pretty basic banner that covers the basics and a powerful sample. I'm excited had a few small issues - in M9/73 it has a very unusual stretch compared to all the other patterns. The spin in M61 leaves you backward unless you double step it weird or start with a different foot than what seems natural. Pretty awesome regular use of the crossover on one pad patterns which is fun. was great, though M29-36 and M62-69 are an obvious direct copy+paste with a single arrow added into M65 that breaks the flow and makes you double step out of place. Definitely on the harder side of 6s with the crossovers, but you gave everyone a break on jumps so it's fair. Is great, though I wasn't a fan of the break in M40 as it leaves you guessing how to start the next pattern. Otherwise completely solid.

Bring Me To Life [mf32892] - Chewi gave you a good banner, sample felt both too short and too abrupt. Starts off with some awkward crosspad freezes to some heavily karaoke steps (what else can you really do for it though), then falls into an awesome series of jackhammers and turns, but it just feels a little too much for an 8, even at the slow speed. The slowdown jacks at M22/M31 is a great example of the intense difficulty (you gotta know what to expect lol). I love this chart, but it feels a LOT like the singles, and it focuses a lot of one side of the pad then the other with extremely minimal central pad work. Is just as amazing, with MUCH more complicated runs and jumps, though a lot of them felt really awkward and forced. I love how you made the second half all kinds of turny and how you made the beginning complicated with freezes+steps. The only actual complaint is the fact that you have to fling yourself across the pad in M39, and iot's the only time that it happens, which throws the flow all kinds of off. is VERY rough for a 6, I'd give it a 7 with all the gallops and 16th notes and the little 16th stream at M42, even at this speed. Very solid step down from heavy, though M32-39 is a direct copy+paste of the first chorus at M15-22. has no problems outside of being insanely crossover 8th heavy, especially for a 4. Solid chart, just easily a 5.

Elevate Myself [NuVirus] - I love the graphics Song sample leaves me curious, seems basic but bouncy. is incredibly karaoke, and very stretchy, but the only part I disagree with is the very beginning, specifically M2/3. It just feels weird. Otherwise this chart is RIGHT up my alley, especially with the crossover freeze arrows at the end of the early 8th spurts. is just as aweosme, but some of the turns and stretches are just a little much, and some of the pattenrs feel a little inconsistant, such as the crossbad stretches in M12-13 and M16-17 and M43-44. Otherwise this a very fun chart, maybe a super easy 10 because of the actual amount of stretching that is necessary. is awesome, though potentially a 7 with al those 8ths and jumps, especially with crosspad jumps such as in M49 and the stretches with weird turns in M55-56. Definitely pushing the line. is perfect minus the stretch in M55.

Plum [Silverhawke] - Very basic banner, but amazingly awesome sample. It makes me wonder what the charts are like due to it's sporadic nature. was fun, I was originally confused at M26/38, but's it legit. The crossovers in M58/60 are a bit rough at 256BPM. Feels a LOT like a well-stepped replacement for The Least 100 Seconds. was fabulous, but it had a LOT of complicated turns for that speed and difficulty rating. is perfect, I see no issues.

Prismatic Lollipop [brunobg24] - Cute banner, Sample is awesome with the hyperactive music with a spring at the end. makes you stretch out of a jump at high speed in M6, then has an ambiguous pattern out of a jump right away in M8. M20's crosspad crossover is rough, but fair. M46 has another awkwardly out of place jump. M57/59 have the same complaints I had from M6 and M8 as it's a copy+paste+mirror. Same with M71's crosspad - tough but fair. In , M7, 58, and 66 have some unusual patterns when crossing the pad that feel out of place but are rhythmically correct. Maybe a little hard for a 6 with all the jumps and 8th runs plus the high speed of the song itself. is perfect, though maybe a little too straightforward.
