beatmap discussions
Easy
I am having a few issues with the section from 00:15:710 - 00:27:004
-
This part feels super dense, maybe break up the constant 1/1s at 00:21:004, having a 2/1 break there?
-
I feel like the vocal at 00:18:180 deserves some more impact by being mapped actively (like 00:23:828 (4)) since it's arguably more impactful than 00:17:828 which is mapped actively. Maybe adjust your rhythm to something like this?
-
00:21:357 (1,3) - having these be the only 2/1 sliders in this section feels kinda out of place, especially since there's nothing different happening in the song or the vocals to justify having these longer held sliders here. If you want to simplify (which is often not a bad idea in Easy diffs) then I'd do it a bit more regularly and not so isolated because that feels odd
00:36:886 (3,4,5) - missread potential on this, I'd advise against 1/1 triangle patterns like these where all three circles are the same distance from each other
Just do smth like this instead
00:51:004 (1,1,1,1) - those 2/1 repeat sliders honestly feel underwhelming for what should be the peak of the song and they don't really follow the rhythm here either
maybe change your patterns to something like this
Normal
Hard
Insane
00:02:651 (2,1) - HUH? Unlike the sliders this circle doesn't fall on the sounds that increase in pitch, hence there is no reason for this massive spacing here. Something like this seems much more sensible to me
Last Tour
00:15:004 (1,2,3,4) - not sure if I'm feeling this turn here since the only thing changing is that the drums sound very slightly damper. A smaller change like reducing the spacing could be cool
subjective though :)
01:53:396 (4) - minor thing but ctrl+g, flow felt nicer to me that way
If you want to you can then also nicely change up the following sliders somewhat like this
to have this direction-changing flow similar to 01:34:196 (4,5,6,7)
If you do that you probably have to adjust slider shape a little. I personally think leaning into the crampedness at towards the end looked really nice
Somewhat related to the above (I can't link to it before posting the entire review :x Will link to it in replies afterwards):
04:11:996 (1) - I think this big circular bit on this slider looks a little goofy, maybe make the tail a bit longer instead to have some nicer visuals
00:29:278 (5,6,7) felt kind of weird to play for me. While I understand why you decided to make it the way you did I feel like putting more emphasis on the strength of the vocals as such feels much more natural to play imo
00:35:062 (1,2,3) - 01:02:437 (1,2,3) - 02:09:000 (4,5,6) - 02:51:375 (3,4,5) - these look confusing and almost don't seem intentional. If you want some distancing instead of just triplet stacks, maybe do something like this:
01:02:704 (5,1) - the flow between these two sliders is a little weird imo
I would expect something more akin to this:
00:46:050 (4) - the white tick should be mapped actively here, putting it on a sliderend feels very weak.
Try something like this maybe:
It would be a good idea to use distance snap (you can enable it with the hotkey Y) so all your objects are consistently spaced in terms of time and distance.
You should then adjust the general slider velocity in the Timing Section
as well as your distance snap on the top right corner of your Compose tab (it appears while holding ALT)
until the objects that you place are spaced something like this:
(objects 1/2 apart should overlap, while objects spaced 1/1 apart should have some space between them)

Hi since you asked for Feedback on the Hard and Normal diffs and I want to say more besides just the mods I wanna try out this review feature :P
Onto what I'd have to critique!
Especially towards the end (~ the last 30% of the map) you use a lot of pretty long chains which you could probably make a bit less active by using more repeat sliders - also not just within each pattern but also alternating between different ones.
Just as a random example, you could turn 01:30:870 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) from
to something like
(Also don't get me wrong, I personally didn't struggle too much with the density here since I tend to do well on tapping-heavy maps but I think for lots of beginners this might be too straining)
During your Kiai times your note distances can be a little confusing since some 1/4 gaps and 1/2 gaps basically look the same
I think this one's a good example of why this can be a bit confusing :P Maybe you can try to have 1/4 spacings overlap always (or at least me noticably closer to each other than 1/2) even when it's between two sliders which are obviously easier to hit.
On to some more isolated issues that I've noticed
00:04:084 (3,4,5,6) - 00:05:799 (3,4,5,6) - etc. these rhythms are kind of difficult to understand, I initally missclicked a lot here.
Maybe you could simplify them to something like this?
That's about what I wanted to say about the Hard diff :)
Now for the normal diff:
I hope this was of help to you!
