Hi Deifu o3o/ \oCo

[General]

1. Your BG is 1024x576 wich is not a rankable size try to find a 1024x768 size (My last mapset had a 16:9 BG, and it's completely rankable)
2. i don't really understand why is ''130 cm'' in the tags o3o (Ask NatsumeRin, since I took that tag from his map ^^")
3. 00:03:993 - this first spinner of following better the music should start here : 00:03:794 - (Changed)
4. ofc remove''Timing''diff when you think is no more neded

Timing:

1. offset seems a bit late to me try with: 4766 (Took MP3+offset from the ranked version, so I guess it's quite accurate already)

[Cup]

1. 00:58:827 (3) - i think this should be placed like x: 112 or x: 96 for giving a bit movingment to this part witch is very quit (It's a very quiet part of the song, so I'll keep it as it is by now. It has a mirrored pattern before too)
2. 01:53:662 (2) - i think this slider should be more interesting if it will be placed like :
   because i found it a bit borring to stay still in the same place of the end of the song wich should be the most interesting part of the song imo (Nice idea)

[Salad]

1. 01:36:574 (1) - Unsnapped circle. (Yeah!)
2. 01:44:920 (4,5) - this 2 sliders will moreenjoyable if the spacing wouldbe much bigger since you used in the most part of the map large spacing and i think something in the way would be more interesting: (Looks nice)
3. 02:00:019 (2) - placing this stacked with 02:00:814 (4) - or 02:01:410 (5) - would be not so a bad ideaa (Stacked with (5))

[Platter]

1. 00:45:117 (4) - Unsnapped circle. (Yeah!)
2. 00:52:074 (4) - Unsnapped circle. (Yeah!)
3. 01:50:084 (4) - Unsnapped circle. (Yeah!)
4. 01:13:926 (5) - This note is too close to the next one 01:13:927 (6) - is kinda a bug (Baka me)
5. 00:38:860 (4,5,6,7,8) - i really dislike this pattern somehow, because the 2 sliders are somehow really difficult to catch restpect all the prev similar patterns, why dont you try to doing something like : (Reduced the distance between those 2 sliders)
6. 00:45:317 (5,6,7,8,9) - ;_; i dunno if it's mebut this pattern is meh, i dunno even what to suggesthere but try to change it a bit because the movementbetween 00:45:516 (6,7) - is kinda stange and i think innapropriate to a platter (Completely agreed, changed)

[Rain]
Well i'm not a expert modder i tested this diff more times and for me look very fine but i think some jumps like : 01:25:648 (1,2) - are abit to big imo, i know you wanted a big effecthere but i think this is too much reducing it abit will make it more enjoyable to play :V (Gotta keep that jump by now. At least it's HDashed huehue)

1. 00:07:172 - whistle at slider start (Okay!)
2. 00:39:953 - following your prev patter here should be a clap (Already added with the update ^^)
3. 01:22:668 - and 01:24:258 - add a finish (Disagreed, a Finish there would be too noisy, and doesn't really fit)

owo''needed some hours but still a noob mod hope it can help in a way :3 have a star o3o/° poke me when you're totaly done with hitsounds will givea look to they too

Nice try of CTB specific mapset. If this is possible, I think maybe I will also get a try on it

diff spread is a little bad imo, but overall, the flow and the jump used in each diff is good.


Firstly I want to throw something rubbish.. Just my opinion

What should an easy CTB map be?

I remembered the 1st few days I play, some of my friends suggest me do not to play Easy and Normal, just jump to H. if H is too hard, then change map.
It is really boring to play Easy, or even Normal with no mod, although we have no experience in CTB.

CTB is very different to other Music Games. It doesn't need to "beat", just need to follow the music and "catch". The difficulties is only the speed of the note and the way to jump. The density of the note have very small effect on the difficulty of the map, if we don't place any of the jumps there.

CTB specific the diff spread need to correspond with the real CTB difficulty. So I think in CTB specific map, we don't need to place such blanks in order to lower the difficulty. We can make full use of 1/2 notes to create our own style~~

and, what is the usage of [timing]? I guess you forget to delete it when finish testing

[CUP]

00:39:754 (1,2,3,4) - these 4 really strange.. suggestion: 1/2 note before 2,3,4 and next 1. (Added)
00:45:516 - note? (Looks nice as it is, there's no need to add unnecesary notes)
00:47:701 - to 01:02:006 - too blank.. (Comprehensible, as it's a calm part of the melody)

I think it is way too easy comparing with the normal diff below(Salad?).
Not to say you need to make jumps, but some part of the map feels blank, although it is an easy diff.
I will attach a modified "easy" diff of me, for a reference.

But since we dont have an idea of how an easy CTB diff should be, this is all my suggestion.


[Salad]
way too difficult for a normal. likely to be a hard for me.

00:12:337 (4,5) - not familar with this jump (Reduced)
00:18:297 (5) - stick to 3 (Sure)
00:24:257 (6) - ctrl+G (Nah... I don't want the difficulty to be much more increased. Same for all the Ctrl-G suggestions)
00:27:039 (4,5) - higher this jump a bit (Done)
00:30:614 (6) - ^ (Same as the previous Ctrl-G)
00:57:635 (4) - ctrl+G
01:05:980 (2,3) - lower this jump a bit (Done)
01:23:860 (5,1,2) - i know it's insist but I still feel a bit weird (I don't know what else can I put there)
01:29:423 (6) - ctrl+G
01:35:781 (6) - ^
01:39:953 - note (I wasn't planning to add notes in those points...)
01:41:576 - ^
01:42:138 (6) - ^
01:46:349 - ^
01:47:909 - ^
01:48:495 (6) - ^
01:52:692 - ^
01:55:251 (5,6,7,8) - arrange it better, seems they huddled badly. (I hope they look better now)
01:58:827 - spinner ends here (Followed your suggestion of the spinner + pattern below)
01:59:622 (1,2,3) - suggestion

02:06:178 - note (Nor here...)
02:06:973 - note
02:08:562 - note (That note would be too close to the spinner imo, and not so necessary either)
02:07:172 (1,2,3,4,1) - suggestion (Arranged those notes in a different way)

[Platter]
way too hard for a Hard diff imo. likely to be an insane for me

00:29:820 (1,2) - normal this jump (Done)
00:31:807 (3,4) - hyperdash this jump (Inverted HDash sequence)
01:01:211 (3,4,5,6) - normal these jump (Reduced the distance there)
01:05:185 (1,2,3,4) - ctrl+H and slightly lower the jump (Modified)
01:08:761 (2) - dont see the need of this note..but I dont have further ideas to modify it (Just to follow the lyrics there, and to create a Dash effect)
01:08:960 (3,4) - higher this jump (Done)
01:10:748 (2) - slightly lower this jump (Moved (1,2) 1 tick closer to each other)
01:12:933 (1) - can make a circle slider? and ctrl+H the following 3 and 4 then lower the jump (Done)

01:24:854 (3,4) - normal this jump (Ctrl-G'd (4))
01:55:251 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - personally dont like this kind of pattern,
02:01:807 (6,7,8,9,10) - move it right a bit (Nope. (5,6) are following the same distance as (1,2))

[Rain]
way too hard to be an Insane. likely to be an expert for me.

00:33:198 (6,1) - dont like this hyperdash (It's completeley the same as one HDash before)
00:43:529 (5,6) - higher this jump. this dont fit the flow. (Done)
00:45:417 (7) - 2 grid left (1 grid was enough)
00:45:715 (9) - 2 grid right (^)
01:01:608 (5,6) - normal this jump (Nah, right now it's quite nice to play)
01:20:482 (5,6,7) - ??? really strange pattern (Same. I thought it was funny to introduce that HDash with the background percussion)
01:27:237 (2,1) - normal this jump (Disagreed. That double HDash fits with the beginning of the kiai time)
01:40:051 (12,1) - better not to create hyperdash like this.. (Removed HDash)
01:52:470 (9,10,11,12,1) - think twice when you put this (Pretty much intentionally made. Is it so difficult?)
02:05:582 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - ^ (It's not THAT difficult)
02:08:264 - I think add a note here and create a jump stream better.(use a different pattern from Platter) (Tried to put that note there, but that double HDash... Ugh. Players already have to care to catch those "inverted" triplets properly)


That's all,
Sorry but I cannot give any of the suggestions about hitsound.. really bad at it

1. You should use "ハジマリノトキ" for the title, and use Hajimari no Toki in the romanized title field (the artist name doesn't change).
2. You may want to remove that [Timing] diff, eh.

1. 00:52:470 (3,4,5) - In my opinion, you should increase the spacing between those notes. Not a lot of course, just a little bit (like move (4) 1 grid right and (5) two grid right with medium grid size). It would look better than keeping the same spacing as in between 00:49:291 (1,2,3) as the rhythm is getting a little faster here. (Done)
2. 00:58:827 (1,2,3) - Same thing for this pattern. (Done)
3. 01:00:814 - I really think you should add a note there. The drum here is really loudy, and is the main thing we hear there. It will surprise the player if you don't map it since s/he would expect to have something here. I understand that 01:01:211 (4,5) are here to follow the vocals, but 00:55:648 (1,2,1,2,3) are mainly here to follow the instruments, if you suddenly start following the vocals, it breaks the pattern.
   Adding a note or not won't actually affect the difficulty of the pattern since the spacing is already pretty small. (Okay)
4. 01:19:887 (4,1) - I find this jump unexpected because it is not justified by the music. This pattern requires the player to use the dash to get it (well maybe not always, but I tried 4 times and never got it without dashing o3o). I'm fine with having this kind of jumps in an easy, but in my opinion it should only be used when the music calls for it so that the player instinctively dash to get it. If the music doesn't, the player won't notice any difference with other patterns and will probably not instinctively dash to get the fruit.
   tl;dr "jumps" should only be used to emphasize an epic moment in the music. (Reduced the distance)
5. 01:25:450 (3,4,5) - That's actually what I would call an epic moment, and in my opinion, this pattern is not epic enough!
   It would be so much better this way : (Changed it, but not that "epic")
6. 01:55:648 (3) - I would move this circle some grids to the right, to emphasize the coming back of the fast rhythm. (Mirrored with the ending of the previous slider)
7. I expected a very boring difficulty here, but I'm quite surprised that it isn't. It's probably due to the fact that, unlike other game modes, even if you use some "complex" rhythm (1/2 patterns), it won't really increase the difficulty. It's more a matter of spacing in CtB. Good job anyway! :3 (ty :3)

1. 01:15:317 (2) - I'd move this slider 3 grids to the right. No real reason, it just feels better to me. (Both suggestions applied, and also in the mirrored patterns a few seconds later)
2. 01:16:311 (3) - The whistle at the beginning of this slider doesn't fit the music at all, and I highly recommend you to remove it.
