00:01:347 (1347|1,1525|0,1704|1,1882|0) - I think this arrangement is difficult for people who play normal on average. I suggest balancing both hands by placing some notes in 4cols (1ㅣ2ㅣ3ㅣ4 col).
00:01:347 (1347|1,1525|0,1704|1,1882|0) - this seems like an unintentional trill, and there does not appear to be any other place in 00:00:990 - 00:12:418 that uses this pattern
suggestion (could re-arrange another way, here is one possibility):
00:01:704 (1704|1,1882|0,2061|2,2239|1) -> c4 - c2 - c1 - c4
00:02:610 (2610|1,2788|0,3145|1,3324|0,3681|1,3860|0) - is this intentional? in normal diff?
if so, just ignore this mod but if not you can use this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/18055637/af75 to balance notes so they don't bias to one side
00:03:847 - 00:05:275 - the patterning is inconsistent with the previous sections, but musically it is not very different
previous patterning rule:
use three columns for every four notes, and repeat column for first and last note
00:00:990 - c1 - c3 - c2 - c1
00:01:704 - c4 - c2 - c1 - c4 (if you accepted #2909555)
00:02:418 - c3 - c1 - c4 - c3
00:03:132 - c1 - c4 - c2 - c1
for this section the pattern rule:
use all four columns different
00:03:847 - c3 - c4 - c2 - c1
00:04:561 - c4 - c2 - c3 - c1
I would suggest mirroring the introduction here, or you could map it differently to satisfy the original patterning (will add reply to this)
suggestion: 00:03:847 (3847|2,4025|3,4204|1,4382|0,4561|3,4739|1,4918|2,5097|0) -> c4 - c2 - c3 - c4 - c1 - c3 - c4 - c1
00:08:132 (8132|1,8311|0,8489|2,8668|3) - this part also breaks the rule and uses four columns
suggestion -> c1 - c3 - c4 - c1
00:11:704 (11704|3,11882|0,12061|2,12239|1,12418|3,12418|0) - this one is good, and you should leave it alone - the ending sounds different so breaking the rule and using all four columns work nice 🙂
00:07:239 (7239|2) - I think this would go to c1 instead if we wanted to keep following the rule #2909582 + this would eliminate the unintended trill here 00:06:882 (6882|2,7061|1,7239|2)
00:14:918 - 00:23:847 - It plays too much like "EZ" difficulty and there is only small difficulty gap between them. I think you could make the section more interesting by layering the additional drum hit sound.
Example: for 00:15:275 - 00:16:704 (using 1/4 snap)
00:15:989 -> could be double
00:16:257 -> add a single
00:16:525 -> add a single
00:16:704 -> could be double
I think this suggestion would conflict with the "Hermit Mode" difficulty as it only uses doubles in 1/1 and a single note in 1/2 would have to add 1/4 notes as well
If you wanted to maintain a bit more of a steady and consistent difficulty progression - on "Hermit Mode" you could delay the notes like 00:16:168 (16168|0) -> move to 00:16:257 - you can neglect the 1/2 in these spots as the top difficulty puts it all together
00:17:788 (17788|3,17967|2) - this is the only pattern here where 00:17:431 (17431|3,17788|3) - these two notes are in the same column, to stay consistent and for balance consider moving 00:17:788 (17788|3) - to column 3 and 00:17:967 (17967|2) - to column 4 like this pattern 00:16:002 (16002|0,16002|2,16360|1,16538|0,16717|2,16717|3) -
00:23:860 – well this one a bit easier than previous part but for me this part need same equal density or more than previous part.
On the first part 00:15:288 – u do some double for each 2 beats but I don’t see on 2nd part like 00:24:574 – or 00:28:860 - while they are same. So I would suggest to buff a bit on 2nd part with the same structure on 1st part combine with ur vocal emphasis as progression pattern.
00:24:931 – so this LN can be replace with 1/2 SN to make it more equal with the 1st part and u can put the vocal on the long one like 00:26:181 - . My suggestion be like this for easier example https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/17830548/0608 and https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/17830556/4351 . Apply them till 00:33:860 -
00:28:132 (28132|3) - this LN could end on 00:28:489
00:28:489 (28489|2) - could move to c2 and add LN to c3 for the vocal
00:30:632 (30632|2,30989|3,31347|0,31704|1) - it could all be converted to 1/2 singles for full vocal continuation
i.e. c3 - c2 - c4 - c1 - c2 - c3 - c1 - c4
00:33:132 (33132|1) - this LN could end on 00:33:668 and you can place note on c1
el finito
00:26:717 (26717|3,26985|0) - 1/4 ? with odd placement for normal diff ?
can you change them back to normal starting 00:27:074 - here and ending here 00:27:431 -
00:35:645 – I would like recommend to buff a snare into double. As progression for ez – nm – hd, it really helpful to reduce the gap between them. And also buff snare doesn’t make it harder than usual, as u can see the current diff more like easy diff for me and ez diff like beginner, so this buff was needed.
I gonna list here for snare sound that can be buff into double
00:36:360 - 00:37:074 - 00:37:788 - 00:38:502 - 00:38:860 - 00:39:217 - 00:41:360 - 00:42:074 - 00:42:788 - 00:43:502 - 00:44:217 - 00:44:931 - 00:45:645 - 00:46:360 - 00:47:074 - 00:47:788 - 00:48:502 -
00:37:061 (37061|0) - i suggest moving the note to 3col (1ㅣ2ㅣ3ㅣ4 col) by preventing the left-bound placement.
00:44:931 (44931|2) - i believe this should be a double, since the pattern before has a double 00:43:145 (43145|3,43324|1,43502|2,43502|0) - consider to make it a double for consistency
00:44:931 (44931|0) - can you move this? move to col 3 for see a good progression and better hand flow
00:52:252 (52252|1) - 01:03:681 (63681|2) - I think these notes are notes for vocals. I understand that you want to intend a particular vocal, but you can consider deleting those notes.
00:54:395 - 00:56:538 - 01:05:824 - etc., you can see that the notes for the vocals are not used in the Ilmu part where the vocals exist. It is true that you used vocals in certain identical parts, but there are more missing vocals.
So you can add 1/2 notes for vocals to KIAI if you want to express more vocals, but if LN alone is enough for vocals and highlights drums, 00:52:252 - 01:03:681 - you can consider deleting these notes.
00:56:002 (56002|2,56181|2) - hmm, usually you don't use anchors like that
if you want to use it, it will affect the consistency of the pattern with similar sounds
IMO, better change it to a regular stair like this 00:44:574 (44574|0,44752|1,44931|3,44931|2) -
00:57:788 (57788|0,58145|0) - felt a bit like an anchor since there's nothing else around.
I suggest moving the stair before one column to the right 00:57:431 (57431|2,57610|1,57788|0) -
00:59:217 - Is the drum single note intended?
The emphasis points are slightly different, but 01:07:074 (67074|3,67074|2,67252|1,67252|0) - I think the same expression is possible when comparing the structure of the instrument with the emphasis intention of the music.
However, you can close it after explaining it if it is a single note intended for an easy pattern to express.
01:00:454 (60454|0,60454|1,60632|2,60632|3,60811|1,60811|0,60989|0,60989|3) - I think this arrangement can be uncomfortable for people who play normal on average. It's not impossible, but it can definitely be difficult, and I think it needs to be adjusted because it's a pattern that normal people don't pursue.
