I sentence this song guilty for being a banger

poyo

Would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more video games or games, unlimited games, but no more games?

Thank you Rocky

banger

this is causing me great agony when listening to the editor :<

OD could be increased to 4.5 or 5 to have a timing window closer to Oni's (4 -> 5.5 kinda big)

Rest moments: Following sections do not have sufficient rest moments. Muzukashii is also quite close to Oni, overall, when it comes to density - this will help with that issue as well!

01:31:581 - to 02:08:833 - If you want to do it similar to the previous sections, delete:

01:32:674 (7,8) -
01:39:131 (7,8) -
01:45:389 (7,8) -
01:51:846 (7,8) -
01:58:005 (23,24,25) -
alternatively, 01:37:541 (15,16) - 01:43:700 (15,16,17,18) - etc. would be good fits.

02:55:422 - to 03:29:992 - Can do something similar to Oni (if you have seen that mod first!)

02:59:197 (17,20,22) - deleting these creates 3 1/1 rest moments, which can act as substitute.
03:06:349 (55,56,57,58) - 03:12:707 (91,92,93,94) - 03:19:064 (124,125) - 03:25:422 (156,157) - are spots suggested in Oni

03:32:376 - to 04:03:767 -

same procedure as in the section above: Rest moment every 4 bars.
03:38:137 (33,34) - 03:44:494 (67,68) - 03:44:494 (67,68) - 03:57:210 (135,136) -

03:00:588 - until 03:13:303 - and 03:32:376 - until 03:57:806 - don't have enough 1/1 rest moments.

Especially in the first section it's tricky - 03:00:389 (30) - this seems like a fairly acceptable note to delete since it's part of the old section.

1. For the rest moments after, I would suggest 03:06:647 (35,36) - deleting these and 03:13:005 (35,36) - these - having a gap before the downbeat seems to me to be the least awkward break to have. To compensate you could add notes 03:05:853 - 03:12:210 - here. Possibly 03:06:548 - 03:12:906 - too but that might go against your desired rhythm.

2. For the kiai: I suggest to do the same you did in the middle of the kiai, 03:38:435 (45,46) - 03:51:151 (45,46) - delete these. Then you have a rest moment for every 16/1, as required by the ranking criteria.

Please check your sliders. Currently they cause some issue with ticks generating where the slider has stopped already, such as 03:29:197 - here.

To avoid this, they should have their repeats snapped to 1/4 by lengthening them and then adjusted accordingly so they don't repeat into notes.

new:
(add 1 repeat if it's meant to end on the blue tick)

Please check out the other suggestion first!

My 2nd issue with the kiai is that its patterns are very neatly structured in repeating blocks of 4 notes and therefore very player-friendly - even though the SV changes can be VERY large (03:33:866 (16,17) - goes from 1.15x to 2x) it's not a huge issue because in almost all of these cases it also switches color, giving you more chance to react. This flows quite nicely!

Entrance: 03:37:939 (57) - this one! But changing this isn't as straightforward as it seems at first because of the consistent structure this kiai offers (as the simple "fix" would be changing the previous note to a kat - but then it breaks the pattern).

Conveniently, there also is a pattern suggestion I want to make for better sound & flow: 03:35:555 (33,34,35,36) - this pattern (x4). While it does follow the high pitch on the 4th note in every block, I'd argue that, coupled with what I noted for the upcoming notes, it negatively impacts flow. So instead of dddk per block I suggest having ddkd. This keeps some pitch relevance by having a color change to the high note (and has a kat on a higher note in the background melody), even though it's down to a don.
This change would allow 03:37:144 (49) - to become a kat, because now it would be a color change on a big SV jump (and start of a new block), and that would also allow 03:37:939 (57) - to be a kat.

as a bonus I would however suggest to change both of these 03:37:343 (51,59) - to a don for more dynamic.

This ensures that the predictability that generally existed for the whole stream (and, really, the entire map) continues throughout.

One of my only issues with this map is that there's really not a lot of SV going on - but then for some reason the last kiai goes absolutely bonkers. I don't think the SV is too troublesome, overall. I do think that, considering how few SV changes the rest of the map has, the kiai has too drastic of SV (and one, even more major, pattern problem, but that's a seperate issue), which will catch players off-guard and possibly feel less favorable towards the map (even though it's good).

I've tried a couple of things with the fruko SV tool - two things I feel worth pointing out and trying.

1. The first was to simply reduce the entire kiai's SV by 0.15x so that the SV peaks at 1.85x (which is quite a bit lower) and the floor is 1.0x. I do think that this might be a bit low and is certainly why the SV is so high in the first place. However, that gets us to the next idea...

2. ...reducing the gap between notes! As in, have it go from (nearly) 0.06x changes to 0.05x. 03:32:376 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) - Here this would mean starting at 2x and ending at 1.25x. To help out, this would apply to the SV changing bits starting on these points (not counting repeats):
   03:32:376 - / 03:33:965 - / 03:37:144 - 03:37:939 - Since the latter two are only half bar in length and bigger SV changes I would suggest something along the lines of 0.075x changes. That's a tiny bit lower than now but 50% more per note than the longer ones. The bigger adjustment would be to have the top SV be the same as the for the longer SV decrasing bits if they are changed (e.g. to 1.9x as noted below)

The SV increasing bits don't need to be adjusted (aka 03:35:555 - )

If we assume that 1.15x should be the floor, this would make 1.9x be the top with smaller changes between each note (effectively combining suggestions 1 and 2). It's not a lot but it does make a difference while it should retain the feeling it has right now.

00:22:912 - until 00:34:206 - : This section seems very problematic to me. In a similar vein to INFERNO the density in this section is unreasonably high compared to other parts of this map - it's denser than the previous section, it's basically the same density as the kiai. I'm not quite sure what it's mapped to either... it seems to try to go for both drums and the melody? But, since it's a lower difficulty, it can't quite go for either so it has a lot of oddly timed gaps. The next section and the kiai do not have this issue - one quite noticeably follows the drums while the other quite noticeably follows the melody.

00:23:088 - you have forgor to add a lower volume bar to this difficulty. 45%!

00:23:000 - similar to the top difficulty: I suggest adding another green line here that acts as the volume changer, while 00:22:912 - this keeps 70% since it's still part of the ones before and being quieter feels a bit out of place.
