Captain's description (by Silhoueska Elze):
IcyWorld is known for creating many charts that involve jumpstreams and handstreams, and St. Scarhand is definitely no exception to that.
In general, what makes this chart so challenging is not just the jumpstreams and handstreams that are present in this chart, but also how they are charted, alongside having additional patterns that can throw a sightreading player off. Unsuspecting players might not be aware that the start does not necessarily reflect how hard the rest of the chart is, as this is one of those maps where it gets a bit denser as the map goes on.
It doesn't even end there. Stuff like jumptrills, rolls, and even index streams are present in this chart. There are so many elements in this chart, that they can really throw anyone off if they are not careful. Did I forget to mention that there are also a few long notes in this chart? That can also make you uncomfortable, especially given how there are streams mapped alongside the LNs (good luck accurately releasing that ending by the way).
The silver lining is that the base rate of the chart is at 180 BPM, which is not exactly the most uncomfortable BPM for jumpstream/handstream charts. Should you master the chart at 1.0x, however, there are rates up to 1.4x for you to try and see how well you can still execute those patterns at higher rates.
This chart is a great example of how versatile IcyWorld's charting is, and it is no surprise that this chart was played by so many people across the world. If you think that this is a great chart as well, then I think it's about time we vote "Yes" and give this a favorable vote!
