Hey, Mod4Mod from my
queue.
Normal- 00:01:449 (2) - Take the whistle off the whole slider, and may just place it on the head. The whistle sound doesn't fit this part of the music at all in my opinion.
- 00:05:012 (3) - This blanket can be slightly improved. If you look at it from [00:04:637], you can see how it compares to the follow circle.
- 00:16:449 (2) - Double repeating 1/2 sliders like these are generally a bad idea. They are hard to read as you have little time to see the second reverse arrow, and will result in most players reading it as a single repeat and missing the second. I would recommend not using this and map with something else.
- 00:22:637 (3) - Fairly minor, but how about making this the same shape as 00:23:762 (1) so that they compliment eachother better?
- 00:41:199 (4) - As before about double repeaters.
- 00:44:199 (4) - As above.
- 00:49:262 (1) - This blanket could be improved; at the moment it is noticably too sharp [00:48:887].
- 01:06:137 - A note here might work. Perhaps extend 01:05:949 (3) to be a slider?
- 01:08:012 (1) - You'll probably know what I'll say about this
I'll continue pointing them out though since I believe they are an issue.
- 01:10:824 (6)
- 01:42:512 (3,1) - Minor, but avoid having these touch if you can.
- 01:45:699 (4)
- 01:48:699 (4)
- 01:51:699 (3) - This is poor
polarity in my opinion. In a normal difficulty, red and white ticks should be treated as seperate levels of polarity. The odd timing for this slider causes difficulties in reading its timing.
- 01:51:699 (3,1) - Perhaps try and make these the same shape?
- 02:10:637 - Similar to 01:06:137 - A note could work here.
- 02:12:512 (1)
- 02:15:324 (6)
- 02:21:324 (3)
- 02:29:012 (1,2) - These
might work given the timing between adjacent notes, but still something to consider.
- 03:11:012 (1)
- 03:12:137 - Similar to 01:06:137 - A note could work here.
- 03:14:012 (1)
- 03:16:824 (5)
- 03:42:512 (1,2) - Again,
maybe acceptable.
- 03:48:512 (8)
- 03:49:637 - A note here could work.
Hard-
AIMod: 02:48:512 (1) - Spinners must have new combo.
- 00:11:387 - I don't feel this slider velocity change makes much sense. The music doesn't really change in mood, so there's no need to change it. The sliders here now look like 1/4 beat sliders, which may cause reading issues.
- 00:46:637 (5,2) - These aren't perfectly stacked.
- 00:47:762 (3) - As above.
- 00:49:637 (3,1) - As above. Sorry for being pedantic about these.
- 00:53:012 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - These are different timings, yet they all share the same spacing pattern. It may be readable from the approach rate, though I think it would be better if the spacing corresponded to their timings better. Perhaps offset them like this?
- 01:10:637 - There are trumpets here, so I feel a note here would suit.
- 01:14:012 (1) - This slider doesn't look very good in my opinion. Were you supposed to have four slider points for this?
- 01:15:699 (1) - I'm personally not a fan of stacking new combo circles underneath sliders like this since they can be a bit hard to read, but it's up to you if you want to keep this.
- 01:18:512 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Have these in a perfectly equilateral triangle shape?
- 01:23:387 (1) The slider velocity change here isn't necessary and just causes confusion.
- 01:24:512 (1,2) - Space these further apart given that the timing has changed.
- 01:27:512 (1,2) - As above. This reads as if the rhythm hasn't changed.
- 01:37:449 (2) - Kind of similar to what I said about polarity before. It's kinda hard to lead with a red tick after a gap since there's nothing that indicates that this will be on a red tick.
- 01:42:699 (1,2) - The tails of these aren't perfectly stacked. You can reverse the sliders with Ctrl+G to see their position by their tails.
- 01:47:199 (1,2,3) - These read as if the timing hasn't changed, where they are actually timed far apart from eachother. This causes readability issues. I would space these further apart if you can. Offset stacks may work too.
- 01:48:699 (1) - Same thing about these repeaters apply here.
- 01:51:699 (1,2,3) - The spacing between these is inconsistent.
- 01:53:387 (1,3) - These aren't perfectly stacked.
- 01:54:512 (1,2) - As above.
- 02:04:074 (3) - Try and simplify this slider if you can; use as little slider points as possible.
- 02:23:012 (1,2) - Avoid having these touch.
- 02:24:137 (3,1) - As above.
- 02:42:512 (1) - Remove new combo, and place it on 02:43:262 (2) since this has the slider velocity change.
- 03:04:637 (4,1) - I think you might aswell keep the spacing between these consistent; unless this was an intended jump in that case make it a bit more distinct.
- 03:05:949 (3,4,5) - The spacing between this is slightly inconsistent.
- 03:07:262 (3,1) - These aren't perfectly stacked.
Insane- 00:03:887 (1) - You can remove this new combo, it's not necessary.
- 00:08:762 (2,4) - Minor; avoid having these touch.
- 00:13:262 (4,5) - Maybe something like this instead? I think it'll look better.
- 00:33:699 (1,3) - These aren't perfectly stacked.
- 00:38:199 (2) - This slider velocity change is unncessary an may cause confusion in reading.
- 00:41:574 (4) - As above.
- 00:53:199 (2) - Keep slider velocity changes to significant changes in the music, rather than placing them seemingly randomly in the middle of a section. A slider's velocity is used more to represent the music rather than enchancing playability.
- 01:32:949 (3) - And if you are going to use slider velocity changes, try to keep them changed on downbeats (long white ticks), as usually a change in the music's feel will almost always occur on the downbeats. Here, the physical length of sliders change in the middle of the combo for no apparent reason. I'll stop pointing these out for now, but just keep this in mind.
- 01:44:574 (2) - As above here too.
- 02:04:824 (1) - I don't like this slider, it looks kinda weird. Try and use as little slider points as possible.
- 02:26:012 (1,2,3,4,5) - These are all the same spacing, but are at different timings, and so it is hard to read the rhythm of these as it looks the same. Try and space these out so that their spacing represents their timing. Perhaps stack the final three notes?
- 02:27:512 (1,2,3,4,5) - As above.
- 02:32:012 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - As above.
- 02:35:762 (5) - Merely just a suggestion. You could use this slider as a full blanket on the next slider. It might look pretty cool depending on what you do.
- 03:12:324 (1,3) - I would avoid this sort of overlap if you can.
- 03:30:512 (1,2,3,4) - These would look better if they continued flowing in a single smooth curve.
I like the song, and Insane was pretty fun to play despite the seemingly random slider velocity changes. Good luck
