Z-I-v: Tower of Eight Panels

BLO§OM - 6/10
Overall plays like a singles chart spread out into 6 panels, which is fine, but there are parts where jumps have very wide gaps out of nowhere. The freeze section feels a little strange and leads to some ambiguous entering points. Overall a decent attempt.

Elisha - 4/10
Not sure where the chart is intended to fit the theme, I guess it is from towards the end? There are some 16th syncopations I don't really agree with in the first half, but the chart itself for the most part seems to work. Everything feels a little too easy until the massive difficulty spike that hits near the end, with jumps throwing the player into some really wide distances. Maybe you could smooth that out next time, both in terms of movement and in terms of difficulty progression.

Liubi, Liubi, I Love You - 7/10
Within the time limit by one second, ha ha! Why does the maximum BPM display as 140, but the song hit 190 at the end? Anyway, this is a really interesting song pick so kudos! Some of your jumps are really really wide and make you leap far out from the last step, and I think placing them a little closer would improve how much I'd enjoy playing this on a pad. The chart also gets violently hard for a 13 when the song gets to 135 BPM, with a jump and then a 16th cluster that starts off a little uncomfortably position-wise.

Rate Cranky Hi-roller - 9/10
This feels very well-made for what the theme was. I liked the part where it breaks the rule at the sound of the breaking glass, very fitting! My one gripe with this chart is how far you had to stretch while holding a freeze arrow; I just don't think there was any sort of musical justification for that 2D hold + 1U step, which is quite a stretch when you can't shift your weight over without risking dropping the freeze arrow.

rough percussionythm - 8/10
Way to go for making full difficulties!
CDP - What a challenging 18 with lots of movement! I liked it overall minus the freeze arrow forced doublesteps; the ones that go from up to down or vice-versa are really jarring at this speed and I don't think they're needed for this kind of song.
EDP - This is almost the kind of chart I'd make normally myself. Lots of interesting turns and twists, and the steps for the most part don't feel overdone at all. Some of the movements you made are really uncomfortable to perform physically in my opinion, though; m51 has you stretching both legs backwards while looking the other way, while m79 has you kick back the 2D arrow while facing left and immediately shoot it forward to hit 1U. m80 is much more comfortable and pleasing to do.

Set Me Free - 5/10
The effort was definitely there, but I feel that this chart needs some rebalancing. To start off with the good, the rhythms were interesting and there definitely was a consistent structure it followed. Now, for the things that could use some work:
- m23 and m24 have some broken flow there
- hitting 16th notes at this speed while turned is quite difficult to do on a 13, yet your chart does that really often
- things like the short 16th bursts at m45 and m54 have greater distance than normal singles crossovers, you definitely should keep that in mind when using them as a means to transition
- 2D to 1U transitions are wider than 2D to 1D transitions, as deceptive as it looks with the arrow lanes, keep that in mind
- Rate this a 14 instead

Seventh Summer of Love - 9/10
The only thing I gotta say is, holy cow that burst at the end is a huge difficulty spike (but it's warranted given how this song plays). I like how the rest of the chart swings back and forth smoothly.

Smile - 6/10
Honestly, not bad. I could tell this someone's first shot at ever writing double. At least this is done on a slow enough song and does nothing too crazy. The most important thing to work on is which foot should enter the next section; parts like m13, m15 and m18 make it unclear what the intended foot pattern is which leads to confusion and twisted ankles (lol). The rest of the chart works quite nicely.

SPOOKY - 7/10
This chart is too much for an 11. At 140 BPM, 16th triples or fives should be minimal to none at this level, but more importantly, it crosses the center with the both up arrows or both down arrows on 8th notes far too many times, which is considered difficult to do for players who are learning. Parts like m42 really up the ante since you have to walk in with legs crossed over to clusters of 16ths, and at m50 you have to walk out crossed over through the center. I think there are more parts where you have the right foot on 1R and left foot on 2L than the other way around! The fact that you put so much through the center makes it mildly confusing for players who aren't accustomed to reading everything as alternate steps. Even just all your 8th note contortions give it the 11 difficulty, but with everything you put in, the difficulty really lives up to the song title.

Step Back In Time - 8/10
Way to go for making full difficulties!
This song could benefit from a slightly shorter cut since the song itself repeats a lot, but that's just my opinion. Like the outro could have faded out earlier, etc. Overall, this has very solid ideas, making it still fun while easy. What I don't quite get is why some of the 16ths are gallops and the others are triples, when they sound identical in the song.

The Question is What is the Question - ???
This is my submission... and it's also kind of a joke.

Upshift (Yunosuke Remix) - 8/10
Way to go for making full difficulties!
EDP - A lot of interesting and unique ideas like the freeze arrow switches and 16th footswitches marked with a mine, but wow do those 16th runs really shake your center of mass violently.
DDP - There's only one person among us who would make an entire chart with just really wide movements, I'm sure. The doublesteps at m48 are really too wide to be comfortable, as each one requires a travel of over 2 panels in a span of an 8th note at 167.

Veritas - 7/10
Oh gosh. These streams all have far too much movement to be seen in 15s. I would say if there was a gradual rebuild visually after the slowdown (at m29) instead of the jumpscare that is there, especially as it is the part before the climax of the chart, it'd be better. Movements like m44 are hard to do and this chart has a bunch of them back to back, so I'm inclined to say this is easily a 16. I would also put in a lot more easier things before quick bursts like m51, because those take a lot out of players at your intended level.

We No Speak Americano - 9/10
This one gets points for originality. I love the warps and the scroll factor changes to match the guitar riffs. as well as mines or fake holds covering arrow lanes that aren't used.
CDP - The end of the bursts at m44 and m46 just look a tad bit uncomfortable.
EDP - That slowdown though. I did enjoy this a lot.

You - 8/10
I honestly had no gripes with this until those sudden pad jumps that broke one's flow came up. Not what I expected for a song like this, but nice chart regardless.
