Hello! This is my first beatmap, so please go easy.

I think the timing/offset is OK, but not completely sure so please check it for me!
I tried to vary it up as much as possible. This might have had the effect of making it a bit crappy at the choruses, especially at the last as I was running out of ideas a bit.
There are no hitsounds at all. I'll be honest, not exactly sure how to use them properly. Please offer general advice!

If people want to map other difficulties please go ahead. I might work on an easier one sometime (although at 1 star this seems to be rated pretty easy anyway... probably just me )

07/07/2009: Added a few hitsounds and changed slider tick rate to 2 in second timing section
07/07/2009: Added more beats in various sections in an attempt to make it more worthy of 'Normal' difficulty
09/07/2009: Snapped almost all notes using distance snap. (Thanks to Sushi971)
09/07/2009: Added breaks at 00:20:593, 00:53:392 and at 02:24:917 (Thanks to Azure_Kyte)
09/07/2009: Pretty much finished "Hard" difficulty. Please have a go at it and tell me what you think :-)
12/07/2009: Nexy's fixes. Changed some sliders a bit in normal difficulty to try and make it more interesting. Changed hitsounds as well. Added Kiai mode in final section (please tell me if it's awful and should be removed)
13/07/2009: A few changes to Hard diff. Added Azure_Kyte's difficulty.
14/07/2009: Sushi179's changes added. tieff's changes added (for Normal/Hard, will wait for Azure_Kyte to respond to teiff's modding).
14/07/2009: Updated Azure_Kyte's difficulty after tieff's modding. I think there was a bit of confusion because I forgot to download the updated beatmap before using the BSS again. Sorry about that.
17/07/2009: Moved to Pending.
20/07/2009: Added James2250's and blissfulyoshi's changes.
25/07/2009: Added new better looking background image, and WyndII's changes to Hard.
26/07/2009: Added Azure_Kyte's updated difficulty.
30/07/2009: Added Saturos-fangirl's changes. Also changed the colour scheme - give me your feedback!
07/08/2009: Added Wojjan's changes for Normal/Hard difficulties.
07/08/2009: Added Wojjan's changes for Azure_Kyte's difficulty.
13/08/2009: Added al2e10's changes for Normal/Hard difficulties and updated Azure_Kyte's heavily revised difficulty.
18/08/2009: Resnapped all notes. Added minyeob's changes.

Your beatmap is pretty good. Timing feels right, beats are aligned etc,

The only thing I can really come up with is to place short breaks at 00:20:593 and 00:53:265.

How is the other difficulty coming along? Starred for now

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

This is pretty good for your first map.

Normal:
00:27:96 (6) - Spacing inconsistency.
02:32:54 (8) - New combo.

Hard:
00:27:96 (8) - Spacing inconsistency.

I think the chorus should be Normal hitsounds on volume 7 or 8; try it out.
00:49:83 (4) - Clap.
00:57:96 (7) - ^
00:58:47 (9) - Clap @ end.
01:52:88 (13) - Clap.
02:32:29 (14) - New combo.

Normal is kind of boring and you could use some better hitsounds. Play around with the hitsounds a bit to get something even better than what you have now. The patterns could also be a bit more creative. Since this is a slow song, it's kind of hard to map it in a way so it will be fun. Just put more time in it and see how you can make it more fun. Not trying to be rude here D:!

[Hard] I can't see this map being classified as hard, maybe normal?

anyways,
0:53:392: move these three beats forward a quarter beat and delete (7)
1:01:527:^
1:46:527:Move to 1:47:036
1:46:782:Move to 1:46:527
1:54:663: Same thing here as the 1:46 parts
1:55:426: Make the slider reach the end at the first white tick and reverse the slider an extra time.
1:58:222:This slider sound wierd. to fix this, shorten the slider so that it reverses at 1:58:731. Then add an extra reverse and delete (11) at 1:59:748

Hey. I'm having trouble agreeing with your first 5 suggestions here It just doesn't sound right to me without the quick triple beat.
Your last 2 are great however, I was pondering on the last slider for a while and your fix is great. Thanks a lot

Thanks very much for your difficulty! It's very speedy O_O Here are a few issues:
00:28:47 (1) and 00:30:50 (1) - These two spinners are not rankable I think. Autoplay cannot get a bonus of 2000 (which is required). The latter one doesn't really fit in well with me personally either.
01:35:34 (4) - This slider is shaped a bit oddly. I think you accidentally double clicked to make a new curve section.
01:41:44 (12) - Same with this one. 2 curve sections here, even one at the end for some reason.
01:45:508 - Why did you halve the volume here? The hitsounds can barely be heard

Other than that, great work! Thanks so much for making it for me. Here's your slightly delayed kudosu.

[Normal]
01:16:27 (7,8) - stack these better

[Hard]
01:02:79 (8,9,10,11) - try making these parallel
01:50:08 (9,10,11) - looks like spacing is a little weird here.

[Azure_Kyte's]
00:18:30 (3,4) - align
00:28:47 (1) - this spinner is not rankable. It has to Auto 2000.
00:29:49 (1,2,3) - symetry
00:30:50 (1) - not rankable
00:31:52 (1,2,3) - symetry
00:38:38 (7,8) - align better?
00:41:69 (6,7) - make this one more symetric and afte, align (7) better
01:24:91 (3,4) - align
01:34:83 (2,3,4) - try to make these really symetric
01:59:74 (4,5,6,7) - make these symetric?
02:20:34 (2,3) - ALIGN
02:21:35 (7) - sounds weird imo
02:27:20 (8) - too close from the edge. people with the scoreboard always on (like me) won't like this
02:29:23 (6,7) - align better



This is a pretty nice map for a first one
You clearly have my star
I'll be following your maps

Thanks for uploading the fixed map Azure_Kyte. One tiiiiiny issue: 00:42:71 (7,8,9) - 9 isn't aligned with 7 and 8. If you want I can fix it myself or you can upload a fixed version... or maybe it was intended all along?

Star. Thanks a lot

Azure_Kyte: I made the small fix I mentioned earlier with your map (00:42:71 (7,8,9) - 9 isn't aligned with 7 and 8). Please confirm that it's alright. I'll be waiting for your new version after you've looked through tieff's modding !

normal:
00:20:33 (7) - move forward 1/4?
01:17:29 (8) - sounds better to me if you shorten by 1/1..then add clap to end of it... but you would have to add some notes after it then >_> (maybe on every white tick)?

hard:
00:20:33 (7) - move forward 1/4?
00:35:59 (8) - move 1 level 3 grid to the right? *nazi*
00:38:64 (12) -move 1/4 forward then extend by 1/4
01:28:47 (2) - move slightly closer to 1
01:31:52 (7) - extend to white tick?
01:43:22 (1) - extend by 1/2
01:47:29 (7) - dont like claps on this

azure mix:
01:02:03 (6) - spacing
01:31:52 (7) - extend to white tick?
01:32:79 (3) - make endpoint of slider over the 2?

coming along nicely have a star

Remember, spacing usually is consistent within a combo.

Normal:
I am really wondering if you want to snap to lyrics or not. Their are quite a few notes on this diff that are a quarter note off from the lyrics, but you snapped them to the whole or half notes.
00:28:47 (7) - spacing
00:38:13 (7,8) - spacing
make your 2x timing section inherited
01:43:22 (1) - make a half note longer
01:49:83 (7) - new combo

Hard:
same lyric problem as easy
00:35:59 (8) - align with 7
00:44:23 (8) - you ended on a quarter note...
01:49:83 (8) - new combo to show change in spacing
01:57:96 (9) - new combo

Azure:
00:19:83 (4) - if spacing was right, wouldn't this be stacked under 1?
00:41:69 (6) - align with 5?
00:58:22 (8) - align with the start of 5
01:40:17 (8,9) - make parallel with 6,7?
01:40:42 (9,10) - make parallel with 7,8?
01:53:64 (3,1) - random jump

I don't really like how the first 2 diffs sort of go with the lyrics and sometimes only go close.

Thanks Azure_Kyte. I've put your difficulty in, and I'm currently going over the other suggestions for my diffs. It might take a while since I am trying to fix the issues with lyrics in some places. I'll edit the post when I'm done.

edit:

normal:
00:20:33 (7) - move forward 1/4? Moved in line with lyric.

hard:
00:20:33 (7) - move forward 1/4? Moved in line with lyric.
00:35:59 (8) - move 1 level 3 grid to the right? *nazi* Attempted to fix.
00:38:64 (12) -move 1/4 forward then extend by 1/4 I tried to move this inline with the "waiiit".
01:28:47 (2) - move slightly closer to 1 Why? Distance snap thinks it's fine where it is.
01:31:52 (7) - extend to white tick? Done
01:43:22 (1) - extend by 1/2 Done
01:47:29 (7) - dont like claps on this Clap now only sounds on the start of the slider.
