Bonjour. Salut !
Here's a very short mod.

In general, i'm sure that you know that the song has a very long beginning. well all this empty space is rather useless since we have the option to skip all of that. you can find the link here if you want to shorten the mp3 (or if you want, just leave it as it is, i'm just trying to read what the rules says haha). I know this, but if I cut the music, I need to retime everything, with the SB, I'll see with the BN if it's a big problem, 'cuz you know...

Easy
00:52:926 (2) - this slider should'nt overlap the previous one. I dunno why, but changed
01:08:246 (3) - i think this slider should just be 1 white tic long, and not 2. it follows better with the up-coming spinner. Changed

Normal
I feel like this difficulty should be CS:2.5 instead of 3.1. but that's just my opinion I can't change this because if I make it CS=2.5, the diff will be an Easy one.
00:59:735 (1,2) - this jump feels slightly awkward considering how the rest of the map flows. maybe try to rotate it or change it's position. No changes

Hard
00:45:267 (1) - move this slider down a bit (awkward jump). Done
00:49:522 (3,4) - i don't really like this overlap. it feels a bit weird. I've tried to change it, I don't know if it's correct, just tell me ^^
00:52:501 (2,3) - ^ ^
01:05:267 (8) - move this stream down a bit, the jump is just a little too far. Changed!

Overall: really nice song and beatmap! Thanks c:
Bonne chance avec ta chanson Merci

Updated! Thanks

Hello heres the mod ~

[Easy]
Your offset should be at the very first beat, meaning here it would go on 00:24:841 - Done
Tho I suggest you remove the spinner, since the intro is the same and nothing calls for a spinner in this specific moment,
deleting it and adding a circle at 00:28:139 - (really not sure about this since it's a blue tick) I have put a spinner because of the blue tick, so no changes.

00:52:926 (2) - I think you could easily avoid the overlap here, but it doesn't seem that big of a deal I don't find how :/ But I've tried to correct it
00:54:629 (3) - Try reshaping to fit the sudden vocals better, and to look even cleaner I think it already looks clean, I'll check if I need to change things about it

The mp3 you are using starts extremly quiet, imo it would be fine to trim the first 5-10 seconds, so that
your map doesn't start at half of the song. Yeah, I know, but the problem is to retime everything, for the beat, it's ok, but for the storyboard, it'll be a full mess

[Normal]
Same thing about trimming and the spinner at the start. Done for the offset

Your SV seems a bit much to me, maybe use 1.2? Explained below

It doesn't make much sence to have a big difference between SV and DS, because movement shouldn't vary so much. I didn't mean to do that ^.^'

I like your song setup in both Easy and Normal, but I'm a bit confused about the CS 3.1 here lol
Did you try to manipulate the star difficulty with it or something? If so, that's actually okay with me tbh The CS & the SV is for the star diff., I've sized up the beatmap ^^

[Hard]
-||- offset -||- spinner Done for the offset

00:50:586 (5) - Maybe just a bit much of a jump from the slider end Done
00:51:650 (8) - ^ Done
01:03:990 - Seening how short of a map this is I wouldn't ignore this beat I'm following the rythm of the song, no changes
01:07:394 - ^ ^

Well, overall I like how you mapped it, but it seems to me like you had generally low spacing, and then sudden difficulty spikes in
terms of distance. I would consider spacing out the diff in general some more and nerfing the jumps like ones I pointed out. I've just tried to get some lower jumps ^^

Overall this was a very very very good map. Wow... thanks!
Nice work work with combos (I'm a combo nazi xD), good hitsounding, I love how you keep the HP above OD in setup..
had to give some genuine effort for this one.

Hope this nitpicking helps, Good Luck! ^^

Hey! Here's a little mod on the hard difficulty

00:44:416 (7,8) - The spacing between these two feels doesn't really flow I'll try to change this to something better, but during the "one-tick" break, the player have the time to change direction, but I'll try ^^
00:55:480 to 01:08:459 - This part doesn't differ too much from the rest and is the same difficulty, so the kiai time doesn't really fit I've put the kiai time because of two reasons: the voice & coz maps needs kiai time xD

That's it tbh, it's a good and short map! Thanks

Hi, DahplA here posting from Jloughman14's and DahplA's Modding Team. This is a response in regards to this request. Please be sure to vote here on how helpful our mod was.

General

1. Not a huge thing, but I'm just wondering why the background is 1365 x 768 and not 1366 x 768 'lil explication (feat. Paint) link
2. There's some slight delay at the start of the soft-hitclap.wav before the sound actually plays, which is some cases is unrankable. I've edited the sound in Audacity. I recommend you use this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/911 ... itclap.wav Done
3. I don't know how well the difficulty spread will go here. It goes from 0.31 star rating from Easy to Normal, then 1.35 star rating onto Hard. You'll have to fix this on your own (unless you ask a BN if it's alright) I'll see this with BN, but I've checked my map with, like, 2 or 3 BN and no-one told me about that

Hard

1. 00:45:905 (2) - This slider is in an odd position, since it starts on a red tick. It gives a weird sound. I recommend changing to 2 circles here Done

2. 01:00:373 (3) - This shape almost overlaps itself. I recommend changing this, as it may be hard to read Done

1. 00:51:224 (3) - Fix blanket slightly Done

Mostly general issues, nothing major in your maps. :D

FELT <3 <33

1. The background you are using is 16:9, but the original isn't, thus you are using stretched background (it's wider than it is supposed to be). I am not saying it is unrankable, but it does slightly decrease the appearance level of your beatmap. You should most likely use this cut of original version, which fits 16:9 perfectly and doesn't contain any noise which current does. If you agree with this, don't forget to replace blured version with this one. You already mentioned original way 1600x900, but original really was 1600x1200, someone just resized it without ratio and you got that version.
2. Storyboard is nice and simple, but you use too complicated things and increase the SB load, while it is not even needed. For optimization, I recommend you to do all these things. Firstly remove SB/black.png, that's because black color is easy to make without using pictures. Another problem is that all objects are rendered within whole time of the map, that sometimes increases SB load to 4x while there is nothing shown at all. I can recommend you to replace whole .osb file with this optimized code, I can guarantee you it is much more acceptable and technically is better. Decreased SB load from ~3.0x to ~1.33x, which is pretty cool difference considering it was just removing unnecessary things.

3. It would be nice if you always used mp3 of the highest quality possible - EAC of the album are available all over the internet, I took one and converted the mp3 to highest rankable quality. There is not much distortion, but cutting the song on 15kHz instead of the other frequencies which you hear is not necessary. You might use this one. Offset is the same, there is a minimal difference, but that's less than 1ms, so you cannot really change it.
4. You should remove Cold_Snap, because you already have both Cold and Snap in tags, so it won't help in searching at all, it's just duplicating stuff which is already there. On the other hand you should add 東方, Project, Touhou to tags as the whole album is just Touhou arrange - This one is original song, but still, it's related to it because rest of album is Touhou arange.
5. It would be more sensible if preview time was on 00:55:480 - , it sounds quite randomly placed when it's not on important beat.
6. 00:40:161 - Increasing volume to 30% on all difficulties would be nice here, because you might notice there is some kind of more strong sound than on the calm start of the spinner. End of spinner would be obviously 15% as start so the beat is not loud.
7. 00:36:756 - Just a design related thing, but you might want to move the pause here on all diffs by dragging it on timing line so it would fit to the beat and would be consistent within all difficulties.
8. 01:12:501 - Ending a spinner on this place on all difficulties would be more sensible, becasue the sound here is much more brighter than sound on 01:12:714 - . Also don't forget, you might adjust volume, I feel the spinner would deserve it.

1. You should most likely use AR 7 and HP 5.5 to improve the spread a little.
2. 00:48:246 (7,8,9,10) - I dislike one thing on all streams in your map. There is nothing like overmap, but they don't reflect the music correctly. You always map either piano or strong drums, but the piano is only on 00:48:246 (7,9) - while there actually is sound on 00:48:352 (8,10) - , but it is really soft kind of cymbal, that means you barely hear it in music. That doesn't require a removal, but the volume should be adjusted - You can use more complicated way, keeping first note the same, second 30%, 3rd 60%, fourth 30% and then normal part starts (the slider), so again 60%. Or simplier, you can just put 30% on 2nd note and 60% on next pattern (that would emphasize that whole this pattern is fading out). That means it would look like this screenshot. Problem here is you barely hear it in song and this sound in map is quite low in comparsion. If you agree, apply it on all streams, otherwise it would only cause inconsistency.
   1st option - 30% 60% 30% 60%

   
   2nd option - 30% 60%

   
3. 00:50:161 (4,5,6,7) - This idea is fine, but the way it is done isn't that cool. I think combination of nice and clear blanket with these overlaps doesn't look cool. It will always play better if it is easier to read by eyes it definitely looks and plays better with a bit larger spacing but on the other side better view which makes it easier to read as well as increasing its aesthetic.
   Screenshot

   
4. 00:52:501 (2) - Just my personal opinion, but I think the flow is a bit better when you use CTRL+G for this slider. Flow from 1 to 2 will be similar, but flow from 2 to 3 will fit the 3's shape more, thus the movement will be maybe more natural. It is also visible in-game that end of 2 is not on the end of 3, it's not that huge deal, but moving 3's end on 316;249, but yes, this is really a minority and can be ignored.
   Previous Flow

   
   Current flow

   
5. 01:08:458 (7) - You are following the same sound as all previous patterns, but changed flow to 0.9 there. Doesn't consistency fit better there, especially when it looks so crowded on one point?
   Screenshot

   

1. Use OD 4 for the same reason as settings on hard.
2. 00:46:543 (3,4) - Using this pattern on normal difficulty is not really cool. 75% of the slider is covered by another slider and it is visible quite later than newbie would notice in-game. Adjusting the angle would solve this problem easily. You might inspire by this screenshot, I adjusted the angle and 5's position a bit.
   Screenshot

   
3. Well... gap between Easy and Normal - Not really big, seems okay-ish, but the gap between Normal and Hard is really huge. You should add more circles. Try to increase objects count to 55 on Normal to make consistent difference between count of objects, that will obviously increase a difficulty to such a level, where it would fit exactly between these two difficulties. Also think about this - Hard is using streams, so you might use more notes, not only spamming sliders. Ideal places for replacement with circles might be for example 00:47:820 (5) -
   00:52:075 (1) -
   00:54:203 (4) - Or at least shortening it to fit to the beat.
   00:58:033 (4) - Especially because it ends on downbeat, which might be quite breaking the rhythm a bit. Also, it touches the scoreboard (mainly with default skin), objects cannot be covered by UI.
   01:02:288 (1) -
   
4. 01:05:267 (5) - This object touches the scoreboard way too much, move it somewhere farther from upper border.
   Screenshot

   

1. Settings are quite out of the spread. You should use someting like these vaules to fit the rest of the difficulties: OD, HP - 2.5, AR - 3, CS - Definitely 3.
2. 00:44:416 (3,1,2,3) - I recommend you to move all this object a bit more down and then adjusting the position of 00:48:671 (1) - so it doesn't overlap with body of 00:46:118 (2) - , it's only a little overlap, but I still mention it to make it smooth.
3. 00:52:075 (1) - Please, avoid a pattern where more than half of a slider is covered by another stuff. It doesn't play well, especially when it is supposed to be Easy.
4. 01:05:692 (1) - Same as above, just adjust the angle so it looks like this or someting similar.
5. You must also add more notes.
