Commentsyou know that joke character that suddenly shows up in a really hard rhythm game chart to become a boss? yeaa ,,.

so. i hate DDR 19s. they usually do some combination of the following that really annoys me:
- really sudden awkward earth power: tell jumps (hou), jump spam (endy, lach)
- half speed gimmicks that suck to play (OtP, valk)
- pitch irrelevant bursts (max 360, egoism)
- ambiguous tech (prev)
- streaming above 260 on DDR pad hardware (BtF, SfV)
- boring footspeed check (volaquas, this one's like... a minimal offender though)

that's not to be a complete spoilsport about their state in the game. there are definitely some elements that i like:
- volaquas plays reasonably fair throughout its' 993 note runtime
- hou is like, pretty A-tier as far as DDR boss songs go. memorable speed changes (plus the introduction of Constant), fun callbacks within the song itself
- every single 19 is pretty memorable for its' own reasons (even if there's only 11 of them)

so if i'm gonna write a 19 for a ziv contest, i'd like it to do the following:
- not just be a simple footspeed check, that's too basic c'mon
- play fair. give ample room to regain lifebar but also know when to turn up the heat and really force the player to lock in
- be memorable and distinct from existing 19s. take full advantage of the stepmania medium to give undeniable 'boss song energy'
- lots of one-off patterns to favor chart study
- maybe make a reference or two. wink wink nudge nudge.

so, i went with a super high tech approach. no brackets except a few cheatable ones to save energy. it's my choice to revel in the excess of what a 19 should be.

don't worry, i won't be mad if you don't play the 19 (although i highly suggest you rate mod it to 0.7x). if you just want to look at it in a chart-editing software of your choice, i included little director's notes to justify every weird decision i made. plus, there's a wide spread of lowers for all skill levels to enjoy! mods scale roughly to difficulty so the worst of it won't appear in the 9-16.

THANK YOU FOR { WATCHING IN AV }

also thank you to sorae/tetaes/exsch for writing such good code for me to rip
