---------------
I've been listening to this song like crazy lately. It's really catchy so I decided to make a beatmap on it. The timing was done by DJNSider, it seems to work really well. Please respond and provide input.

NOTE: This map is completely raw and has no sounds or video. Enjoy!

Edit1: Changed the intro notes to something more on time, placed all notes on screen and re-snapped them, edited the spinners so they can be ranked.
Edit2: Changed a few more notes but nothing to major
Edit3: I added a background but I'm not sure if it works. Feedback please?
Edit4: Added Expert mode which is basically Hard with smaller, flipped notes.

Edit9: All difficulties finished! Now to add SFX! Medium bumped to easy and new Medium mode made!
QuickEdit1: Changed made easy & medium more forgiving and made hard slightly less forgiving.
Edit10: Added SFX for Easy! I'm nearly done! Please help this map get ranked!
Edit11: Normal is now equipped with SFX! All I have to do is complete hard a paste onto Expert
Edit12: Hard has SFX! Expert will be done in a few seconds.
Edit13: Expert is complete with SFX! This song will be submitted as a pending map starting now!
Edit14: GENERIC BACKGROUND FTW!
Edit15: Better Background added!
Edit16: Get dis shit ranked!

Edit28: Spinner lengths changed slightly.
Edit29: Does anyone think I should have a Kiai section in here somewhere?
Edit30: FALCOWN BAUMP!
Edit31: Added Kiai mode for all difficulties! Please mod this map!
Edit32: ...still waiting...
Edit33: New changes made. Please star this so we can rank it.
Edit34: IAmNotShinta's changes have been made to the map.
Edit35: Added Leorda's changes to this map.
Edit36: Changed some note patterns and sliders to match Ozzy's request.
Let's work on ranking this bad boy!

offset is meant to be at the beginning of the song not half way through so..

bpm: mmmk
offset:126 (don't forget to resnap all notes)

00:13:671 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - doesn't follow song that well..
01:10:599 (10,11,12,13) - don't have notes partly offscreen like this
01:13:342 (8,9,10,11) - ^
02:10:441 (1,1,1,1) - auto has to be able to get 2000 on spinners for them to be ranked

Its a good start so
*star*

Thanks, I'll try to make these changes ASAP. Kudosu to you! What's mmmk mean?

lol..

mmk means I don't know if its perfect but it seems ok to me

Okay cool, Thanks for the tips, I just implemented them and I'll upload a new version of the beatmap in a few minutes.

Alright, I'm at a loss. Do you guys think that I should begin working on a second difficulty, or should I still attempt to improve upon (Hard).

hello?

Anyone want to help with SFX? I'm kinda bad with those...

EDIT: Nevermind! I finished them.

...anyone?

How do I change the genre?

...no seriously. Input appreciated...

Relax, man! I didn't download the video due to time constraints, so I can't comment on it. Also, I'd suggest going to the modding queue on the forums.

For all, use grid size 3. BPM; 87.45

Easy;

Circle size bigger by one or two.
00:13:500 (1) - Start on 13:843 and make shorter.
00:15:901 (x) - Hitcircle.
00:16:415 (1) - Do similarly here.
00:19:337 (1,1) - Don't overlap.
00:27:389 (1) - Doesn't fit the rhythm.
00:30:132 (1) - ^
00:30:818 (2,3) - Distance snap.
00:33:047 (1) - One beat long, start on the white tick.
00:34:248 (2) - Similarly.
00:37:341 (6) - On the white tick.
00:54:488 (4) - Red tick.
00:59:968 (4) - ^
01:10:592 (8) - White tick.
01:49:350 (4) - Red tick.
01:54:837 (4) - Red tick.
02:00:324 (4) - ^
02:05:811 (4) - ^
02:06:326 (5) - Longer or shorter, on the red or white tick.

Medium;
00:13:500 (1,1,1) - Too similar to easy, plus, it doesn't fit the rhythm.
00:32:876 (1) - Doesn't fit.
01:16:250 (4) - Spacing.
01:16:943 (1) - Doesn't fit.
02:06:326 (3) - ^

Hard;
00:13:500 (1,1,1,1,1,2,3) - Now, come on. Same as easy? Do something different!
00:32:883 (1,2) - Doesn't fit.
01:07:519 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - Same as medium? Change it!
01:31:682 (6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - ^
02:06:363 (10) - Doesn't fit.

Expert;
Re-do. It's the same as hard, practically.

Message me when you have this done, and I'll re-mod.

Thankz u very much!

So, you fixed Easy, huh?

Easy;

Make the circle size bigger.
I think this diff needs more sliders, but whatever.
00:16:420 (1,2) - On to the next white tick.
00:34:258 (2) - Make it twice as long and make it start on the white tick.
00:37:516, 00:37:859 (x) - Beats go here in the same pattern.
01:08:561 (4) - New combo.
01:25:713 (x) - Beat here.
01:52:641 (1,2,3,4,5) - Flip this horizontally.
01:58:130 (1,2,3,4,5) - Flip vertically.
02:03:618 (1,2,3,4,5) - Flip it horizontally AND vertically.

Better, definately.

I'm seriously impressed.

Easy;

00:34:429 (2) - Half a beat long.
01:32:745 (x) - Beat here.

Medium;

00:34:429 (4) - Spacing.
01:08:561 (4) - New combo.
01:11:648 (x) - Beat.
01:18:166 (3) - No repeat.

Hard;

00:33:571 (2) - No. Just no. Straighten it up or something.
01:06:331 (?) - There's a break that can't happen here. Delete it.
01:05:474 (4) - Spacing.
01:16:965 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - <3

Expert;

Ah, your particularly new one.
One thing to mention; people don't usually like a circle size like this. Yes, it may make it harder, but I think most people see it as an unnecessary annoyance, especially as of late. My favourite way of doing it is;

Easy - Furthest left
Normal - Next one over
Hard - Same as normal
Expert - In the middle

Perhaps you should try that and see what you think. If you don't like it, feel free to change back.

02:13:223 (1,1,1,1) - These are unrankable. In "auto" mode, one's sliders MUST get a bonus of at least 2000. These don't get any. Please change them.

Star time, methinks.

I would like to provide special thanks to...

without you guys this map would not be made possible!

Remember, tell your friends about this map, and make sure we get it covered. It would be so awesome if this was ranked.

...still lookin' for suggestions.

Please, help me get this ranked. Do anything you can in your power.

...can anybody try my map, please!

...anyone there?
