Now when that's out of the way:
HI! Real1 here, I am back with yet another beatmap! This is my 7th one. Closer, by Nine Inch Nails.


This map comes packed with three difficulties:
Easy, Normal, and Hard.



It's a fun map. I'm sure you will enjoy!

Edit #1: Pr?lles (TPIY) suggestions added.
Edit #2: minyeob fixings added.
Edit #3: Most of SFG fixings added.
Edit #4: Takuma fixings. New offset: 140. (tried Takuma's, mixed around a bit, got 140)
Edit #5: Shinde's changes added. Thank you very much.
Edit #6: Djpop's changes.
Edit #7: vytas suggestion. Can it be bubble tiem now plez?
Edit #8: strager. Thanks! Just when I was losing hope.
Edit #9: Made the long 1/4 stream in Hard much much shorter. Why? Because I have realised how much it sucks that too many mappers challenge the players by deathstreams. Not in my maps. No Sir.
Edit #10: Bursting my bubble to fix two hitsound issues found by gyt and a new preview point suggested by mtmcl.
Edit #11: HUGE HARD OVERHAUL. Suggestions by Mogsworth!
Edit #12: Spacing.
Edit #13: Mogsworth hitsound correction and a few other small fixes.
Edit #14: Mogs on IRC.
Edit #15: SFG fix. BUBBLE NOW BUSTED. Re-bubble PLOX.

I like this, very much tbh.

couple of things though that crossed my mind while I was looking/playing it through;

[normal]
01:25:458 - In my humble opinion the notes that start off here are a bit too close, which makes it hard to read/play. Maybe add a little more space between them.

[hard]
02:02:791 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4) - This spacing didn't cause me any trouble, but I can see how it might cause people who are unfamiliar with the song a bit of trouble; the notes start off nice and wide but then grow closer by half the distance.

Fixed/Changed.

Thanks Prälle.

Easy
1:04:124(6)-> Increase the amount of U-turning by 1.

Normal
56:958(Break)-> How about adding some beats on this blank part?
1:30:624(4)-> Spacing nazi. Move left a bit.
2:02:792(1,2,3)-> Spacing is Nice

Hard
33:624(4)-> Whistle.(Ending point only)
56:958(Break)-> Same as Normal.
58:624(1)-> 1/4 beat backward

EDIT: 444th post.



P.S Nazi modders will mention about the spacing issues <3

Thanks again minyeob. So far you have managed to mod every map of mine.

[Easy]
00:02:12 (4,5,1) - can you make this an equilateral triangle?
00:04:79 (3) - stack under 5
00:08:12 (1) - no jumps in Easy
00:10:79 (1) - doesnt flow well from 4
00:35:45 (1) - move out from under 4
00:40:79 (2) - finish
01:21:45 (2) - remove finish


[Normal]
00:10:79 (1) - stack under 5
00:13:45 (1) - stack under fading 2
00:24:79 (2) - whistle
00:31:62 (2) - remove finish
00:33:12 (3) - spacing is off
00:33:45 (4) - remove finish from end
00:34:79 (1) - weird jump
00:39:45 (5,6) - remove finish from 6 and add it to 5
00:51:45 (1) - hitsound this
00:55:45 (3) - ^
00:58:79 (1) - remove finish
01:50:79 (1) - hitsound this
02:02:79 (1,2,3) - spacing???
02:06:12 (2) - finish
i suggest using more claps in here - theyre the most visible hitsound


[Hard]
00:02:12 (1) - stack under fading 1
00:07:45 (1) - ^
00:10:79 (7,8,1) - imo this should be one full combo
00:16:12 (10) - new combo
00:26:12 (1) - align w 6
00:29:45 (1) - stack on end of 4
00:37:79 (1,2,3,4,5) - needs soft whistles in here somewhere
01:04:12 (10) - new combo
01:12:79 (3,4,5) - wtf spacing at least center 4
01:27:79 (1) - no jumps in a deathstream
01:48:79 (5,6,7,8,9,10) - needs more hitsound
01:52:45 (1) - too close to prev. note (2 should stack under prev. 3)
01:56:79 (2,3,4) - claps?
02:02:79 (1) - looks bad partly under fading 1
02:33:45 (4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) - hitsounds
again, i would use more claps


have a star

Thanks. Did most of it. Not all. Also, not too many claps! I want the song to feel heavy while playing... And claps seem a bit too... "happy" for it. However, I added a few claps.

I tried to time this song even though I suck at it. >w<

Offset: 144ms

All:
First few seconds were a tad boring.

Easy:
00:06:12 (2) - Perhaps you forgot a whistle here?
00:42:12 (4) - Line up with (3).

Normal:
00:06:79 (1,2,3,4) - Line up with 00:04:79 (2).
00:03:45 (6) - 1 level 3 grid down.
00:36:12 (1,2,3,4,5) - Move so that the (1) is stacked with 00:34:45 (5).

Hard:
00:04:79 (2) - Stack with fading (2).
00:06:12 (2,3,4) - Align with 00:04:12 (1).
00:30:12 (3,4,5) - Align with 00:29:45 (1,2).
01:52:12 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - ..awkward spacing.
02:12:12 (3,4) - Line up with (2).
02:28:79 (5,6,7) - Line up with 02:27:79 (2,3,4).

Thanks Takuma.

The first few seconds are just an intro. It's pretty good to get used to the BPM, I think.
In Easy I guess it's a bit boring, but Easy is Easy.
In Hard, I think it's pretty cool.

[Hard]
02:35:30 (5) - Wrongly-placed. I'd say move the starting position forward by 1/4.

Starred.

This needs to get ranked. Starred

General
Normally I have a problem with dark combo colours with a dark background but here it works well, actually, and I'm surprised.

Easy
Beginning has inconsistent combo choices. 5,3,4,4. Make it 4,4,4,4.

00:27:13 (1) - Kinda hard to see the approach circle and the timing not obvious for someone who hasn't played the map/song before.

Normal
00:16:13 (9,1) - Swap new combos?
01:25:47 (1,2,1,2) - Kinda hard to read where the sliders start and end.
01:51:47 (2,3,4) - Uneven?
02:23:47 (3,4,5) - Uneven?
02:45:47 (7,1) - Swap new combos?

Hard
Nothing to report.

Nice map. Especially Hard, Hard is cool o3o

Star for priority ~.~

Thank you for the praise. <3

This map is pretty cool. I think you should set a cool preview point, but that's not a rankability issue so please take this bubble and be careful with it.

BUBBLE LOST BECAUSE I CHANGED HIT SOUNDS AND ADDED A BETTER PREVIEW POINT. Re-bubble please.

@ mtmcl Thank you so much! I'm grateful! Better preview point added.

Ah, super map. Rank it!! Thank you <3

Hard
00:30:806 - whistle? why? Because it sounds better
00:34:306 - whistle? maybe 00:34:139? Nah, it's fine
00:48:473 - maybe spasing how 00:46:806? I see no problem
01:28:973 - remove finish and sound will be very good Fixed
02:46:139 (1,2,3) - claps? For two of them, ok
02:46:306 (2,3) maybe spasing how 02:40:139? Stacks. No changin'

Oh, start of map so boooring now -_-
(It flows terribly? But >10 people think differently! And it isn't overmapped at all!). OK, I know. I'm nobody..

In new hard on 01:28:306 [the end of slider (1)] put finish sound, please!

Don't question my decisions on flow in particular.

Anyways.

Easy and Normal both look fine. I'll take another look later.

Hard:
-00:00:13 (1) - Remove the Clap.
-00:01:47 (5) - ^

-00:06:80 (5) - ^
-00:07:47 (1) - Remove the New Combo mark.
-00:08:13 (2) - New Combo mark goes here, remove the Clap...
-Basically, so I'm not here all night listing everything, follow this same pattern; remove all Claps, make the phrases make sense. The Claps sound far too harsh here.
-00:23:47 (5,6) - 1/4 earlier for both.
-00:25:47 (6) - New Combo mark goes here.
-00:28:13 (4) - This should end 1/4 earlier.
-00:29:13 (5) - This should be 1/4 earlier.
-00:33:63 (6) - This should end 1/4 earlier.
-00:35:139 - This should have a beat.
-00:38:97 (4) - This should be 1/4 later.
-00:43:80 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This phrase flows improperly, please redo it. I mostly blame 2 and 3 for this.
-00:49:63 (3,4) - I hate how this flows.
-00:50:80 (5) - This should be 1/4 earlier.
-00:51:47 (1) - Replace the Finish with a Whistle.
-00:52:13 (1) - Remove the Finish.
-00:53:47 (1) - Make this have a Whistle.
-00:53:80 (2) - This only needs a Whistle.
-00:54:13 (3) - This only needs a Finish.
-01:04:056 - Move the inherit section to here.
-01:49:47 (7) - Extend by 1/4, and it should start 1/4 earlier.
-01:56:13 (1) - Remove the Finish.
-01:58:80 (1,2,3) - Remove all hitsounds.
-02:01:13 (4) - Remove the Finish from the endpoint.
-02:02:47 (3) - Realign, this looks sloppy.

-02:03:80 (1) - Remove the New Combo mark.
-02:05:47 (1,2) - Remove the Claps.
-02:06:80 (4,5) - ^
-02:08:13 (1) - Add a Finish.
-02:11:47 (1,2,3,4) - Remove the Claps.
-02:16:80 (1,2,3,4) - ^
-02:22:80 (1,2) - ^

Nice! Thanks everyone who helped me. This thing took too much time to make.

Personally I would like one map that includes the instrumental part at the other half of the song
Maybe for the "Insane" map.
