  Kantan 154 -> Futsuu 226(+72) -> Muzukashii 403(+177) -> Oni 534 (+131)

1. Density-wise the spread is rather imbalanced especially when note count of Muzukashii is nearly doubled compared to Futsuu. Therefore Futsuu could be harder to make difficulty progression more linear by means of note addition.
2. Kantan has similar note density with Futsuu at times, but you may keep the difficulty unchanged as it is already easy enough.

• [Futsuu]

1. From 00:20:897 to 00:27:297 - the difficulty gap with Muzukashii is too big as Muzukashii has various 1/4 notes connected with 1/2 while Futsuu is mainly 1/1 and 3/2 notes. Try to balance the spread with the use of some 1/2 notes.
2. From 00:59:297 to 01:05:697 - same as ^
3. From 01:29:697 to 01:31:297 - ^

• [Muzukashii]

1. From 00:40:897 to 01:40:897 - patterns are consecutively arranged without any 2/1 rests for one full minute, which could be quite demanding for intermediate players. More importantly, this creates a noticeable difficulty jump from Futsuu as evidenced by the intensity of 1/2 + 1/4 patterns in this session.
2. 00:54:297 (175) - this note could simply be removed for a 2/1 break right after the end of kiai. In this way players could have more time to prepare the next chain of patterns.

Therefore Futsuu could be harder to make difficulty progression more linear by means of note addition. I don't think this is a good enough indicator of spread balancing. Snap density is less important than rhythm in my honest opinion.

• [Futsuu]

1. From 00:20:897 to 00:27:297 - the difficulty gap with Muzukashii is too big as Muzukashii has various 1/4 notes connected with 1/2 while Futsuu is mainly 1/1 and 3/2 notes. Try to balance the spread with the use of some 1/2 notes. Check the density in Oni and in Kantan. Futsuu is already challenging enough with the occasional use of 3/2 rhythm and 1/2 notes.

More importantly, this creates a noticeable difficulty jump from Futsuu as evidenced by the intensity of 1/2 + 1/4 patterns in this session. 2/1 breaks are simply not needed, as song mostly supports 3/2 rhythms and it is in my opinion more than enough for intermediate players to rest.
2. 00:54:297 (175) - this note could simply be removed for a 2/1 break right after the end of kiai. In this way players could have more time to prepare the next chain of patterns. I honestly don't think this fixes anything.

I will wait with the disqualification first, but want to give out some opinion too:

The spread is indeed a bit unbalanced and could be possibly improved. Futsuu's density is the whole time the same while in Muzukashii and Oni it changes pretty often with the addition of 1/4 patterns. Futsuu could use the same contrast by having at times some more 1/2. Additionally, Kantan could gain some deletions as it is very close to Futsuu anyway while in comparision the spread / difficulty to Muzukashii and Oni changes drastically.



Overall I don't find it that much of a problem, but in my opinion it does indeed have room for little improvement.


Edit: Just to clarify: Nardo's stance on this topic is that Futsuu's jump to Muzu is high. My stance however is rather that the jump from Kantan to Futsuu is not significant enough which makes Futsuu to Muzu jump look so drastical while it's not, considering Muzu to Oni spread is very high, too. So, as said, deleting some notes in Kantan and adding possible 1/2 Futsuu would work quite fine.

Edit2: Oh, actually the set is already on its 6th day, so I will rather disqualify it now till this matter is solved. Depending on the result we may as well just go for re-qualification but don't take it as given of course.

1. 01:48:097 (57,58) - consider swapping these notes to k d to follow the background pitch decrease as you did previously for consistency ?
2. 01:50:497 (60) - I think you may have missed the finish here ?
3. 01:56:097 (68,69) - maybe swap these notes to d k as you did in higher difficulties ?

• [Futsuu]

1. 00:39:297 (77) - changing this note to k would fit the snare sound pretty well.
2. 01:19:897 (168) - maybe move this note to 01:19:697 - and change to k ? This would match the music in a way better.
