Regarding to the spike, there is no denying that any chart has difficulty spike, and the spike we see is not something as huge as NM->Insane. It is common practice that is used logically and understandably and playable btw. It won't take you long for you to realize that nearly any BMS/O2jam/Stepmania/whatever charts contain spikes in different levels, and no chart is just as plain as shit. What's wrong with highlighting the part that deserved to be highlighted? And patterning it's the business of the mapper himself, as long as it's legit(can you tell you why stairs or jack are 'bad?' They are bad because you can't handle it well?) it works perfectly fine. And last but not least, the patterns that are used in spy's difficulty, although may have space of improvement, are not that bad to result in a unqualified. Patterns are troll but they fit the song aren't they?!
On a side note please don't easily unqualified a chart without engaging enough with the community. Only hearing information from one side is not enough. BATs and modders spend times and effort on it, and they didn't approve it without careful consideration. Don't be too deaf to ignore our voice
