Hey, from m4m.
Kantan- Change SV to 1.2 because 1.4 is too fast for Kantan.
- In my opinion 00:18:693 (24,25,26) should be ddk because it sounds similar to 00:16:098 (20,21,22).
- I think it would be good to use a finish on 00:42:044 (65) because you have a buildup in the music and the finish work work well to end this part of the song before going to the calmer part.
- I think it would be better if you do not use k on 01:00:855 (91,92). It sounds better if you use k on 00:57:612 (88,89,90) instead because the sounds in the music are more fitting here in my opinion.
- 00:46:585 (69,70) ctrl+g. The k sounds better on 00:47:233 in my opinion because of the instrument sound.
- 00:52:422 (78,80) ^.
- I'm not sure if it's the best possible way to map of the part of 00:22:260 (30,31,32,33,34,35) with only kats. You have a lot of things going on in the music, maybe it is good to put in a bit of variety? Also, I think it would be better if you include some notes on the large white ticks as well. You could add a circle at 00:20:639 and remove 00:21:612 (29) and start a 3-note 1/1 spaced pattern on 00:21:936 for example.
- I would strongly suggest you change the ending of 01:36:693 (11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19) to something simpler for newer players. Maybe move 01:36:693 (11) to 01:36:855? This might be less confusing for new players because the spacing between the all patterns in the end part would be equal this way.
- Your kiai seems a bit strange in my opinion. I would have expected k's on:
- 01:10:585 (1)
- 01:11:882 (4)
- 01:13:179 (6)
- 01:17:071 (11)
This is because the sounds in the music feel quite strong in my opinion and would justify the use of k more. From this I would suggest that you:
- 01:17:071 (11,12,13,14,15,16) to k ddk dk.
- 01:20:963 (17,18,19,20,21,22) k ddk dk OR k kdk dk.
Highly optional though because everyone feels a map differently.
- You have a lot of k in 01:29:395 (29,30,31,1,2,3). Maybe make some notes d for a bit of variety? Would also sound and fit better because you have a nice mix of d and k everywhere in the kiai, but not here and that makes it look strange.
Futsuu- SV 1.6 is too high for Futsuu. 1.2 would be recommended.
- I suggest you don't use SV multiplier changes in this diff.
- I think 00:09:612 (9,10,11,12,13) would sound good as ddddk because of the emphasis on the last note of this pattern. Also, this would fit nicely if you change 00:16:098 (25) to k as well. This feels better to play in my opinion.
- I think it owuld sound good to add a note at 00:26:152 because you have a lot going on in the music, so a longer pattern might fit nicely here.
- 00:31:341 ^
- 00:25:503 (46,47) ctrl+g? I think this would be better for consistency in your mapping at this point.
- 00:28:098 (51,52) ^, same reason.
- 00:33:287 (61,62) ^
- 00:27:125 (49) d, for the same reason as above.
- 00:32:314 (59) d ^
I think 01:02:152 (119,120,121,122) would be better as either dkkk or kDDD because you have strong sounds in the music. dkkk might be better though for contrast with 01:05:395 (123,124,125,126,127).
- 01:07:990 (128,129,130,131,132) would sound better as ddkdk in my opinion since you have some guitar sounds on the third and the last note to which k would sound better.
- I think dddk or dkkD would fit better on 01:11:882 (137,138,139,140) to emphasize the finish in the music at 01:13:179 (140).
Most of these suggestions come from you mapping to the vocals so much. In general I think you can create better emphasis by restructuring things to put k's on sounds like 01:13:179 (140) which feel quite strong in my opinion.
Muzukashii- Use SV 1.4 please.
- Maybe add a note at 00:31:017 and 00:31:503 and put a finish on 00:31:666 (117)? This would sound good in my opinion since you have a lot of instruments here.
- I think it would sound better to remove 01:03:125 (237,238,239,240) and replace these with a single note at 01:03:449 and use finishes here for the strong instrument sounds. This would sound much better in my opinion.
- The triplets 01:10:422 (259,260,261) and 01:11:882 (266,267,268) and 01:13:017 (273,274,275) seem really random. I think it would be better if you remove these and use 1/4 triplets at places like 01:17:882 and 01:28:260 and 01:07:503 for the instrument sounds. For example with 01:17:395 (292,293,294,295,296) you could:
- add a note at 01:17:720.
- 01:17:963 ^
- 01:18:206 ^
- make the resulting triplet starting at 01:17:882 either ddd or kkk. This would flow and feel better to play in my opinion.
Oni- SV 1.4 please.
- I can see which instruments you are mapping your 1/4 to, but the problem is that I think your 1/4 and the instruments you map them to don't match up in some cases. For example, 01:10:179 (309) should be on either 01:10:017 or 01:10:341. I suggest you turn down hitsound volume as low as possible and then fix your triplets. I'm pretty sure that the instruments support two 1/4 triplets per 4/1 measure on starting on the second and third white ticks. For example, triplets could be starting at 01:08:639 (299) and 01:08:963 (302). You would have to delete 01:08:882 (301) in this case.
- Maybe add notes at 01:07:422 and 01:07:503? This would sound better to go with the drumroll in my opinion.
- I think 01:03:125 (280,281,282,283,284) would play out better if you:
- remove 01:03:125 (280,281).
- Add a finish note on 01:03:449.
- Add a note on 01:03:936.
- Add a k at 01:03:693 and turn 01:03:774 (283) into a k.
- Make 01:03:774 (283) and 01:04:098 (284) finishes as well. I think this works better because the instruments feel stronger than the vocals here in my opinion so I think it would be a good idea to map these out.
Agu's Inner Oni- Even though you can hear claps between the finish notes of 00:01:828 (2,3,4,5,6) you never map these out. I think it would be a good idea to do this however to make the upcoming patterns starting at 00:08:314 less sudden. I think it might be good to map k's on the now empty white ticks starting after 00:05:720 for example to create a better buildup before the first patterns instead of "jumping" right into the diff. I just think it would be good to give players a kind of hint that the map is about to start. Very much optional though since you might like the contrast it creates.
- Maybe use a 1/4 ddddk pattern starting at 00:20:963 and turn 00:21:287 (107) into a k? I think the break feels strange because you don't have a finish on 00:21:287 (107) that clearly seperates the part starting at 00:21:287 (108) from the previous part ending at 00:20:639 (106). I think it would sound better to either clearly mark these parts as seperate through finishes on 00:20:476 (105,106,107) or clearly connect them through the 1/4 pattern as suggested. I just feel that either of these options would play out better rather than what you have currently is a kind of halfway that loses out because it's like compensating by feeling like a bit of both without being as strong as either of the more "clear" options.
- I think it would sound good to add a note at 00:31:503 and maybe turn 00:31:666 (181) into a k for the instrument sounds here.
- 00:47:233 (283) Maybe use D for strong instrument sound?
- 00:52:422 (300) ^
- 00:22:909 (118) shouldn't this be a k for the instrument sound?
- 00:24:693 (130,133) ^
- 00:38:476 (235) ^
- 00:39:774 (244) ^
- 01:21:936 (488) ^
- 01:31:828 (569) d, same reason as above.
- 00:31:828 (182,183) ctrl+g? Would sound better for the instruments in my opinion.
- 00:33:125 (192,193) ^
- 01:31:503 (567,568) ^
- 01:33:774 (584,585,586,587,588,589,590) d kdddk d OR d kdkdk d? Would sound better since you have instrument sounds that would justify the use of k on the first and last note of the 5-note of 01:33:936 (585,586,587,588,589).
Hope this helps and good luck ^^
