HEART OF DARKNESS (feat. Sect Unit)Explicit

00:01:056 (3,4,5) - and 00:06:389 (3,4,5) - I Feel like the rhythm could be more active here
specially since previously you made a 1/2 Beat Slider at : 00:00:056 (1,2) -

A more active rhythm where the current slider-head are replaced by a note could give a stronger impact to them.

It would also help making : 00:02:722 (1) - more pronounced and impactful
Maybe something like :

00:34:556 (7) - I feel like a more accurate way to map this part is doing something like this (see timeline also):

00:51:222 (6) - There isn't a vocal or otherwise strong sound here - so it's presence kind of dulls the emphasis the following circles give to the sound.

00:52:889 (5,6) - 6 should not be stacked with the triplet as not moving between 5 and 6 doesn't really make sense (there isn't a pause in the music to necessitate a pause in cursor movement.) I would move 6 away from the triplet to better emphasize the noise (woosh? zipper? the sound on 6) being mapped

01:01:722 (5) - could use a whistle

01:10:389 (4) - spacing of this one from 01:09:889 (3) - is quite low compared to other iterations like 01:05:056 (3) - 01:15:722 (4) - 01:21:056 (3) - even if the music stays with a similar intensity as the first one

maybe you could move it above 01:09:389 (2) - or something like that to keep the same flow direction but with the increased spacing

01:25:389 (5) - there's no real sound in the song that this is mapped to. i get why you might want it, but you could make this part of the music stand out much more without it

01:29:056 (3) - Add circle here to cover the gap to match hihat? :D

01:43:389 (3) - love the little touch to the slider for the vocal there. Awesome

01:46:056 (6) - this one could also have the

slider since it has the weird vocal sound sound effect that 01:43:389 (3) - and 01:44:389 (7) - have

maybe since this time it appears on the left side of the headphones you could ctrl+j the shape or something like that

02:00:888 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,1,2,3,4,5) - this just goes so wild

02:01:722 (6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17) - This is really hard to follow here, id suggest making new combos in this section so that it's easier to read

02:07:722 (1,2) - Shouldn't the 1 be stacked (Not perfectly) over 02:07:389 (8) - be better? cuz playability wise it's feel kinda off in term of small micro movement

Or atleast moved further from it, since soo far throughout the map , every 1/2 distance snapping you spaced everything further apart and for every combo too you spaced it out more.

02:09:222 (8,9) - You can add two circles here so this part doesn't feel uncomplete (unless that's the intention)

02:17:222 (9) - I honestly believe you could remove the spinner and make it active instead
it feels kinda off having a spinner there, subjective i guess

Maybe something like this : rhythm wise (1/8)

02:17:722 (1,2,3) - because of cs7, this turns out to be an unintentional diff spike when placed directly after the spinner. consider moving it a little closer to the center of the playfield from where it is now

02:20:056 (1) -
Imo, since it's a way stronger sound than the upcoming section , i would up the SV. maybe to something like SV.3 ?

Further note (I'll condense it into this mod suggestion)
Imo the blue tick is predominant enough to be mapped as a circle instead of a slider-head

Since you usually stack 1/2 rhythms together 02:20:639 (2,3) could be easily missread and unexpected, you should do something to differentiate it from other 1/2 rhythms

02:36:056 (1) - imo , I would off-set stack it over 02:35:722 (8) -
Would make the stop motion (nothing to it) more pronounce)

02:38:722 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - this is sick

02:40:722 (3,4,5,6) - I feel like this could be more active, with some kick slider instead of singular note, would give a stronger punch to it

02:44:056 You have the chance to do something like this (see timeline) to highlight vocals in this case to not leave this gap empty :D

02:51:889 - Can add triplet before 02:52:056 (1) starts

02:54:556 (3) - should be stacked on 02:54:222 (2) - to follow your trend of stacking 1/2 rhythm gaps in the kiai

03:08:389 (2) - Imo this feels way too fast and sudden for it , the sound is not that pre-dominant
a SV of 2.8x would work better i think

03:08:722 (3,4,5,6) - Feels a bit inconsistent with how you've done spacing. For example on a very similar part 02:47:389 (2,3,4,5) - you have the two weaker vocals stacked + wide angle movement. So I don't think sharp angle jumps are appropriate.

03:10:722 (3,4,5) - why suddenly those 3 are stacked? Even if it's to ease the entrance to the 1/12 rhythm, this section has overall quite some movement with the vocals, even some of them with a lower volume such as 03:08:722 (3,4,5,6,7) - have pretty decent spacing.

Since 03:11:056 (5) - has a lower pitch compared to the first two maybe you could put it slightly below 03:10:722 (3,4) - to represent that change?

03:21:556 (4,5) - you don't really make a weird flow like this anywhere else so you can 03:21:556 (4) - ctrl+g this to make it feel better

03:22:722 (3,4,5,6,7) - this deal right here feels restrictive to play at such a high cs since angles are harder to hit so you can do smth like 03:23:056 (4,5) - switching these two so its more relaxed

03:42:413 (7,8,9,1) - sounds like this quad drum kick starts on 03:42:358 instead of where you have it now

04:09:381 (1,2,3,4,5) - rearrange these so they aren't feeling cluttered at the drop or at least 04:09:627 (3) - nc this so you can actually distinguish its a 1/4 and not 1/2

04:10:857 (2) - goes SO HARD i love the slider shapes you use for this section

04:35:201 (7,8,9) - isn't the spacing insconsistent with 04:34:217 (2,3,4) - ?
1 Overlap while the other doesnt, i would make 04:35:201 (7,8,9) - not overlap , would make it more consistent spacing wise

04:48:437 (1,2,3,4,5) - funny rhythm

unmapped vocal 04:48:497 here. consider moving 04:48:556 (2) - over to it on the timeline, or making the stack a 1/12 triple

04:50:878 (3,4,5,6) - the vocals don't get any more relaxed here, why the sudden drop in spacing for this pattern

if its because of the different rhythm signature, maybe you could space a bit 04:50:878 (3,4) - from 04:51:235 (5,6) - but keep the stacked sliders as they are now to still have the different feeling from the usual 1/4 or 1/8 sliders

04:56:295 (5) - i think this slider should be shaped more like 04:54:152 (6) - or have some additional texture because it follows the same kind of sound as 04:54:152 (6) -

05:18:437 (1,2) - / 05:19:508 (3,4) -
Shouldn't those 2 follow the same note placement relative to the slider?

Atleast from what i saw, during the kiai you were consistent during combo where the note after the slider where placed in the same fashion

05:41:473 (2,3) - I see what this double is following, but at the same it still feels very unexpected in gameplay, as there isn't any noticeable sections in the map where it would've happened earlier. Many peeps will most likely drop accuracy on this sudden double, thoughts on changing it into a slider possibly?
