00:01:595 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Not sure how you decided on your NC patterning tbh, but maybe it is better to split up this combo into 2 combos, it is a pretty long combo for the intro atm

00:02:395 (2) - i would say x:275 to make a higher distance emphasis the drum and consistency with 00:05:595 (4) -

00:05:595 - try placing this note at the same distance as 00:04:795 (2,3) - , or place it right in the centre if you're going for emphasis

00:06:395 (1,2) - The distance is so low that it creates a flow stop which doesn't fit the music, please increase the distance significantly to give 00:07:995 (2) - the proper emphasis

00:07:995 (2) - make the BPM x2 so the player have to move

00:07:995 (2) - i would say use 1/1 slider here because you havent following snare like 00:08:395 - before, it feels kinda off to suddenly map it

00:09:195 (3) - Whilst I know the pitch is stronger on this than 00:09:595 (1) - , 00:09:595 (1) - is quite a powerful downbeat, and so I think it'd be nice to make distancing either equal between these notes, or the distancing to 1 actually bigger than the distancing to 3.

00:09:595 (4) - new combo here

00:09:595 (1) - the distance is too far for newbie, pls reduce to x:454

00:15:195 (3,1) - i would say to keep distance consistent here because (3) has a low distance but the drum isnt weak at all, (3) x:33 and (1) slider x:243 would be nicer

00:15:995 (1) - Stronger distancing to this would be a lot better, this pitch and strength certainly stand out a lot more than 00:15:195 (3) - , so the fact that has stronger distancing to it is really confusing musically.

00:15:995 - try to keep slidershapes in cups simple, maybe make this a regular curve slider (https://icebearbestbear.s-ul.eu/qivuTUOT) or a repeat slider (with the repeat slider you'd be also hitting the drum sound on 00:16:795 - )

00:17:995 (2,3) - The distancing to these being so different to the equidistant nature of 00:04:795 (2,3,4) - is rather confusing, since they're following the same sounds. For consistency's sake, I'd recommend making one like the other.

00:19:195 (1) - This has such a weak distance to it, especially when compared to the very similar note at 00:06:395 (1) - . For consistency, I'd recommend making these distances more similar.

00:21:195 (2) - Whilst I understand it was for the sake of adjusting the player to the antiflow movement here, the lack of movement on this slider actually just makes it more confusing to play in my opinion, and a 150bpm 1/1 reverse slider won't be that hard to play for a player even at this difficulty, so increasing the SV like you did for similar sliders would work nicely.

00:22:395 - I'd make this a repeat slider as well

00:22:395 (1) - Maybe make this a little slower? It's one of the few 2x SV sliders which is nearly horizontal, so tilting it a bit more would be nice, since there's no particular reason for this one to be much stronger.

00:24:395 (2,3) - This distance is way higher than for other similar spots (i.e. 00:11:595 (2,3) - , 00:05:195 (5,6) - ), I'd reduce it to match the rest

00:24:395 (2) - seems like random spacing here, i know you feel the drum is strong but 00:24:795 - has stronger drum so better to give higher spacing to (3) instead of (2), move 00:24:395 (2) - to x:464 instead?

00:25:595 (1,2) - Spacing could be higher imo, it slows down the movement a lot which is not really supported by the music.

00:27:995 (4) - Distancing to this feels a tiny bit too strong. Would suggest lowering it slightly to make the hold walk require a little less precision.

00:28:795 - 00:30:395 Should be one long slider to stay consistent with the rest of the map.

00:28:795 - a slider like this might be a bit too complicated for a beginner, maybe try making it half a circle instead of a full one. smth like this https://icebearbestbear.s-ul.eu/GBkF35Pd

00:30:795 (2,1) - I think this distancing is too strong, even if I know what you were aiming for with the stop in the music being emphasised. I actually think an opposite effect would work really well, since the music cuts out at 00:31:195 - , you could maybe stack the end of 2 and the start of 1, to give the effect of the map stopping with the music.

00:31:995 (1) - Higher SV on this would give more movement and contrast really nicely with the antijump 00:30:795 (2,1) -.

00:33:995 (2,3,4) - I think more distancing on 2 would work well to make the flow feel slightly more comfortable, by turning it into a more curved pattern, and also to give some attention to the stronger pitch on 3.

00:35:195 - this slider could also pose problems for beginners, try making a more lenient slider that doesnt stop in the middle

00:35:195 (1) - Lower distancing to this a tiny bit please, or maybe make the antiflow at the start a little weaker, either one works. It's a bit of a strong jump to be followed by a direction change considering the rest of the difficulty.

00:38:395 (1,2,1) - This is a difficulty spike which doesn't fit the music, you bumped up the spacing and the induced flow doesn't make it easier. Please move 00:40:795 (2) - more to the right.

00:38:395 (1,2) - This timeline is quite a bit different to every other similar section in the music's timeline, I'd recommend keeping to the 1/2 slider structure, with circles at 00:40:395 - and 00:41:195 - .

00:41:595 (1) - This could curve a bit more at the end, e.g. from 00:42:795 -. That way you could have a more distinct slidershape, better flow, and more distance to 00:43:595 (2,3) - by Ctrl+H-ing

00:43:595 (2,3) - I think just ctrl+Hing this would work nicely, whilst it's not very strong antiflow, it's enough to make the pattern stand out as strange when nothing similar has been used throughout the difficulty.
