beatmap discussions
00:46:860 ~ 01:09:582 i have a slight concern given how this drop was mapped.
The main drop here feels rather the same density wise with the easy difficulty, but I am not too fond of the drop using 00:48:990 (48990|3,48990|2,49345|3,49345|2,49701|2,49701|3) - these kinds of stacks as it may hinder playability from the anchory feeling. Yes it may be easier to read overall but like i mentioned above i do believe it might play slightly too much.
SUGGESTION: I do think that you can make the anchory feeling weaker and lower the density by making the longer synths as doubles instead of solely focusing on the percussions ex. 00:48:990
another add-on for this but i do think that when it comes to the song's future bass changing pitch like at 00:51:831 you can also do something like this
for stronger emphasis imo
Pattern suggestion for 01:08:733 (68733|0,68800|3,68867|2,68934|1,69068|2,69202|3,69269|1,69336|0,69470|1,69604|2,69872|0,70006|2) -
01:08:666 (68666|3,68733|0,68800|3,68867|2,68934|1) - these would be more relevant as the riser will also be accounted due to the patterning getting more difficult
also the more aggressive kicks could use more jack oriented but clean patterns given their aggressive nature
also do follow 2130605#4672956 if you agree with this suggestion
00:57:015 (57015|3,57148|3,57416|3,57550|3) - Would suggest to rearrange as having 2 jacks consecutively on the same column might be a bit unfair to play.
how about this?

this is gonna be a paragraph lol
I kinda think that this part is a biiit too close to the insane difficulty while being too much of a jump from normal to this difficulty.
- The density of the patterns feel rather similar, or even higher than intended. The finishers are using triples while kicks and snares are doubles and the main melody with singles. This exact mindset also transfers to the higher difficulty, which makes the density a bit too even
The same amount of notes is being used while being almost the same as insane, which creates a difficulty gap from just density alone
Meanwhile here, the jump feels rather too big, as it goes from 1/2 LNs to full on 1/4 rice patterns for the main melody without exceptions
- Patterns complexity is sometimes more apparent on this difficulty rather than the insane difficulty
Take this part for example, patterns like 00:20:452 (20452|2,20519|1,20586|3) - as opposed to the ones on the insane difficulty are more harder to read as rolls tend to be more straightforward to follow. In addition, stuff like 00:20:854 (20854|3,20921|1,20988|3) - create a trilly feeling when placed like this, meanwhile on insane it uses basic rolls to simplify the patterning
SUGGESTIONS
- Density issue, i do think you can make the kicks as singles, with the catch that the 1/2 downbeat is doing to be at the same column as the kick. What I mean by this is basically create a jack to give a stronger emphasis on the kick
- Pattern complexity would be easier to do, as some of the patterns can be easily simplified and made into rolls, like 00:31:032 (31032|1,31032|0,31099|3,31166|2,31233|1,31300|0,31367|1,31434|2,31434|3) - could be converted as
I think that the staircase might come a bit overall as the burst is technically a bit more dense than the other ones
In addition, some of the broken bursts like 00:31:702 (31702|1,31769|0,31836|2) - could be made as rolls to make reading easier and more natural to hit
I think this may be too much of a jump, even if it only lasts for about 2 seconds
Since the hard difficulty is basically the same pattern, i believe that it would be nice to omit 00:26:345 (26345|3,26747|3) - to create a small break here
00:42:282 (42282|1,42818|2) - General Idea
Instead of this buildup being long notes... how about you use some bursts instead?
The idea behind this is to bridge the gap of the buildup with the normal difficulty. Since the kicks at 00:42:282 are less impactful than the ones at 00:42:818 you can use 3 notes to emphasize the kicks while with the stronger kicks you can maximize by adding 5 note bursts for the stronger kicks. Of course you can modify the patterns so long they are simple to follow
00:20:318 (20318|0,20854|2) - 00:22:461 (22461|3,22997|1) - 00:24:604 (24604|3,25140|2) - 00:32:907 (32907|1,33309|3) -
Ranking criteria states.... Long note releases should be at least one beat apart from each other. Smaller gaps between releases require a level of finger independence that players of this difficulty cannot handle.
While it would be fine to break it once or twice (in your case 4 times) I do think that the map is already pretty difficult for what an easy is supposed to be so breaking the guidelines may just be overkill. 224 is really high aswell is more restrictive and does not work in your favor
SUGGESTION: I do think you can omit the longer LNs 00:20:318 (20318|0) - for example and use singles instead of prioritizing the fast sounds to make it more simple to follow
