Wow... THIS is your 1st beatmap?
It's all well organized! I'll have tough work here as modder...

Easy
[General] try to reduce a bit some spinner's lenght (remember, this is Easy, not Sparta...)
[01:16:165] (1, 3, 5) clap here (and on the end of the yellow slider)
[01:20:430] (1, 2) other claps on the slider's end!
[01:23:461] (2) a whistle here
[01:51:329] (1, 2, 5) whistle all over these sliders
[02:05:905] (3, 4, 6, 7) whistle on the first couple, clap for the 2nd!
[02:12:578] (2, 4, 6) other finish here
[02:16:766] (8-9, 3-4) whistle on greens, clap on bluies!

Hard
[03:50:084] Amazing... ALL the beatmap has a GOOD rhythm! Just finish it with a beat here, in the center!

Keep up the good work! Star'd.

i hope this isn't to much like your and should i map the whole thing or stop at the break i made up to you

General
WTF is with the Super Sonic storyboarded on the first frame? Kill it.
Offset may be closer to 5246ms. Unsure.

Easy
Not gonna really mod this because easier difficulties bore me. xD
However, it seems your Overall Difficulty is a bit too high, after a quick play through the first part.

Hard
Well mapped.
00:15:40 (3,1) - It would look nicer if these two sliders were symmetrical. That is, make each half the same size.
00:56:16 (2) - New combo.
01:01:91 (1) - Don't have this touch the slider.
01:13:12 (2) - Replace over the end of 01:13:58 (3).
01:17:97 (1,2) - Switch new combos? Maybe.
01:24:94 (1) - Move so the end is over 01:25:85 (3,5).
01:33:73 (5,6) - New combo on one of these.
02:02:52 (7) - This annoyed me. It's over the repeat so I didn't know to repeat. I guess it's fine as-is but makes the map harder to read, thus is difficult to FC on the first try (at least for me).
02:03:88 (1) - End at 02:05:24 (1/2 back).
02:08:58 (9) - New combo?
02:30:70 (1) - No. Sadly without this you'll have a superlong break. You can fit something other than a spinner in there, can't you?
03:04:94 (6) - New combo?
03:09:79 (1) - Clap?
03:15:85 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - Combo is pretty long.
03:19:49 (13) - Same situation as with 02:02:52 (7).

ztrot's Reason
Not difficult enough to be worth 8 million points IMO.
Wasn't as fun as Hard. It may be because the Overall Difficulty is too high. Maybe tone it down. That should lower the highest score too. The lack of hitsounds may have something to do with it to.

01:06:76 (7) - Replace under 01:06:30 (6).
01:09:18 (6) - Replace under 01:08:73 (5).
01:32:52 (6) - Closer to (5).
01:51:91 (4) - New combo?
02:13:12 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20) - Long combo is long.
01:41:00 (4) - Move end down to align with 01:42:06 (5,6).
03:05:85 (4,5,6) - Spacing between.
03:22:52 (7) - Replace under 03:22:06 (6).
03:24:94 (7) - Replace under 03:24:49 (6).
03:30:39 (9,1) - Swap new combos.
03:39:79 (8) - Move under (6).
03:41:91 (7) - Replace under 03:41:46 (6).
03:44:33 (6) - Replace under 03:43:88 (5).

...

use offset 5260

[easy]
make sure spacing is consistent through the whole map. At the moment it isn't.
I recommend placing a break somewhere halfway through

[hard]
I recommend lowering the overall difficulty by 1 tick, other than that i see no problems .


Good job especially for a first map =). Starred for priority ^^

ok this time it's done for real i made the hit circles smaller and reduced the overall diff still 8mil tho

Download: Aya Hiroshige - Reason (That's My Reason) (RaisTF) [ztrot's Reason].osu

Easy:
01:46:15 (1,2,3,4,5) - This part feels very awkward and not in sync with the music

Hard:
00:10:09 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - Add one more to both of these combos
02:21:30 (1) / 02:30:70 (1) - That is one two unnecessarily long spinners. Cut the first one, and start the break early. Not sure what to do about the second one, since just removing it would make the break unnecessarily long. Your best bet would be to map it.

ztrot's Reason:
waahhh tiny hitcircles are tiny. I don't think they need to be that small.

Overall, not bad for a first map.

^^ Nice Map.

Anyway, heres that skin i promised u
If u dont like it, dont use it.

Download: Amy Skin.rar

Star

About the skin:
Circles are ok, but nombers are black and hard to see: try adding a white border.
Spinner is not good: amy is cut and the border is not smoothed

All spacing suggestion are meant to be for grid level 3

- Easy:
00:16:76 (3) - move 2 squares to the right
00:24:03 (8) - same
01:06:76 (2) - move 1 to the right
Maybe you could use some more hitsounds, it feels a bit linear

- Hard:
00:11:30 (1) - uhm, i know it's a new combo and such, but don't you think that's too close to 00:10:39 (2,3,4)?
00:21:00 (1) - same, but here is less noticeable
00:39:49 (5) - new combo
00:51:61 (5,6) - move 2 squares to the right
00:52:22 (1,2,3,4,5) - same
01:09:79 (1) - same thing as 00:11:30 (1)
01:40:10 (4) - new combo
01:53:13 (6) - add a clap at the end of the slider
01:54:64 (2) - same
I think in this section you can use more claps following song claps like 01:56:16 (2) and 01:58:58 (2). It's up to you anyway.
03:09:49 (1) - this one is fine, but i think it would be better if moved down (a lot, actually)

- ztrot's:
Here's what i meant before about the claps: he used claps following the song's claps and sounds cool ^^
01:37:36 (5) - why so far? D:
02:14:03 (6) - new combo
02:35:55 (6) - maybe here too?
03:39:03 (5,6) - move 1 square to the left

Fix the skin, check this suggestions and i'll star ^^

EDIT: skin fixed and suggestion followed, so i guess it's fine for me now

-2ms on offset maybe?

01:13:58 (9) - Finish
02:04:03 (9) - ^

00:11:30 (1) - Bad Spacing

Blah I can't be bothered to look any more this is boring me.

Guess i can fix the skin a little...
But when i make the font white its style changes to non-sega...

anyway, ill check wats best...

Can you do smth that will fitto BG? Its perfect and I dont wanna chnge it.

Why does ztrot have BPM as 98.00 and everyone else uses 98.98

Easy (This is pretty far from easy):
The spacing in the beginning is a little large but could be considered easy, but sets of quarter notes at that spacing are not what I consider easy.
Slider speed is also a little high for easy
00:14:03 (2) - align with 1
00:52:53 (4) - move 1 notch(3) right
01:03:44 (6) - align with 5
01:05:25 (2) - too far

Are the beginning and end supposed to have different spacing?

Hard:
00:40:40 (2,3,4,1) - too close
00:51:01 (2) - too far, or is 00:33:43 (7) too close
00:51:62 (5) - " "
00:52:83 (4) - " "
01:13:59 (3) - end directly under the center of 2
02:06:17 (2) - make a horizontal reflection of 1
02:35:57 (2,3,2) - too close

ztrot:
00:18:27 (4) - too far
00:36:46 (6) - new combo?
00:56:15 (2,3,4,5) - too close
01:03:42 (8) - make a horizontal reflection of 7
01:05:55 (4) - make a reflection of 11?
01:06:76 (8) - restack under the end of 7
01:08:73 (5) - align with 4
01:09:18 (6) - restack under 6
01:27:97 (6,7) - too far
01:32:36 (5,6) - " "
02:14:03 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) - the sides of this square have larger spacing than normal
02:27:06 (5) - too far
02:36:15 (2,3) - make parallel to the 1,4 side

A little sleepy, so I might have missed some other obvious mistakes. Sorry.

RaisTF, i'm only suggesting these modifications. If you do not wish to use them, then dont.

Modding map: Hard
BPM: 98,990<-- I see (hear) you're having a minor problem at the end. (resnap if you attend to make this change)

01:13:13 (2) - Put on end of 3 (exactly) (same combo)
01:36:17 (3) - Align vertically with end of 2 (align the rest of the combo if you change this)
01:52:23 (3) - Align horizontally with end of 2 (align the rest of the combo if you change this)
03:14:37 (2) - Align vertically with end of 1 (align the rest of the combo if you change this)

Wtf thats all i could find man, had fun playing the map ^^ star~!

[tieff's easy]

00:06:76 (3) - Clap at slider end.
00:09:19 (3) - ^
00:30:70 (2) - ^
00:32:22 (1) - ^

[ztrot's Reason]

00:28:89 (9) - 1 square down for match spacing.
02:05:87 (6) - New combo.
02:15:57 (6) - ^
02:36:18 (2) - Clap here.

[Hard]

00:24:64 (1) - Remove new combo.
00:24:95 (2) - New combo.
01:13:13 (2) - Align perfectly with (3).
03:50:13 (1) - Remove new combo.

Good job, take my star.

very good work so far it almost better than sonic drive if not better o.o i wish i learned to map this good so fast

[Overall]
- You can set a Preview point by going to the menu Timing -> Set current point as preview.
- Little problem: The thread title is bugging me.

[Timing]

1. BPM: 99.00
2. Offset: 5,285

Be sure to resnap, recheck and recalculate everything.

[tieff's easy] (Capitalize the "e"?)
- Some Inhereted sections are useless, it seems. These are 00:22:52, 01:04:19, and 01:05:18. You should remove them even if they're useless.
- Lack of finishes?

00:29:79 (1) - Is it just me, or the reverse arrow is pointing the wrong way?

[ztrot's Reason]
- Why are combo colors different from the [Easy] difficulty?
- There are some places were the spacing is abit... Irregular. Hopefully you'll indentify them yourself, because I'm not going to nazi. (I wonder if this was because distance snap...)
- Lack of finishes?

03:22:10 (6,7) - Not properly stacked.*
03:41:49 (6,7) - ^
03:43:92 (5,6) - ^

[Hard]
- So yes, there may be some mayor spacing irregularities, but it seems fine once you played the map 2 times already.
- 3:51 minutes... I guess it's fine for a [Hard].

00:07:67 (1,2,3,4,5) - You maybe forgot to flip horizontally.
02:03:90 - Kiai here? Seriously? I'd recommend using Kiai at places like 00:56:16... You know, the chorus. And maybe as well as add it on the other difficulties.

* You can stack a note at the endpoint of a slider using Distance snap with a 0.0x multiplier, and turning Grid snap off.

Sorry, but I can't star this until you fix the Timing.

- Easy:
Mind capitalizing the "e" in Easy? Amazingly short in length. You barely even mapped half the song. );

Blue = design/minor issues. you do not have to change these if you don't want to
Orange = moderate issues. it would be best if you change these, but you may be able to get away with not changing it
Red = major issues. you need to change these

Timing seems fine

[TIEFF'S NORMAL]

nothing. good job

[HARD]

its all good

[ZTROT'S REASON]

01:36:18 (4) - jumps between this and (5) seems kinda random. maybe bend the slider round to get rid of the jump?
01:41:03 (4) - spacing. too close to (3)

thats it, not a bad map. at nearly 4 mins, its quite long though, but still rankable.

tieff's Normal
Decrease Overall Difficulty one tick. This is so 00:06:18 (2) is completely opaque at the start of 00:05:27 (1). Remember to replace breaks after doing so.

00:14:06 (2) - New combo?
00:15:57 (5,4,4) - I would put new combos here.
00:39:51 (1,2,3,4) - Change this by making (1,3) low and (2,4) high.
00:40:88 (x) - Notes? =[
00:45:27 (3,1) - Turn into slider?
00:54:67 (1) - This threw ME off. =[ Delete and replace with a break.
02:01:65 (4,5,6) - Replace with spinner.

I would unstack these so they're more readable:
01:05:88 (4,5)
01:15:88 (2,3)

ztrot's Reason
I remember and old background and I think that fits this difficulty better. (Current background is fine for other difficulties.)
Feels like more hit sounds could be used in some places.

01:14:66 (1,2,3,4) - Hit sounds?
01:44:97 (1,2,3,4) - Hit sounds?
01:46:18 (1) - Looks weird not vertical to the previous note.
01:46:18 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Onoez a smiley.
02:04:06 (9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Accent with Finishes?
03:35:88 (3) - Finish?
03:39:82 (8) - Under (6).
03:40:72 (3) - Finish?
03:45:57 (3) - Finish?

Hard
00:54:06 (1) - End with Clap?
01:24:97 (1) - Move so end covers end start of 01:26:48 (5).
02:15:57 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - Due to stacking it seems as if it's not a perfect circle. To fix this decrease Stack Leniency one tick.

Offset: 5,260'ish? (the current one is definitely late though)

Needs at least 1 spinner for some score variety.

Otherwise, very nice map. Here's a spinner for it if you want (yeah, I was bored )

aside from [Hard] i would say this is almost rankable. Hard needs a bit of work and creativity on the mappers part but is doing fairly well for a beginner's map.

I feel bad because of the priority with no icon, so ill look at it again.


One of my biggest concerns (and I don't know if I addressed it before) is the combo burst. It feels too mood killing and bright, and doesnt go well with the background. In my personal opinion, find another Amy Rose pose or something instead. If I have time, I'll look around and see what i can come up with.

So...this is a good beatmap for being your first one, I have to say...

Don't find anything which could be modified here, as I expected from the nice tieff

00:11:94 (4) - check this with grid 3

Maybe it's too long, i think you can stop it at 03:20:42 and transform the "8" into a finish

<Hard>
02:03:911 (1) - I'd move this 2/4 forward
03:09:527 (1) - I'd move this 2/4 earlier...and if you want add a note 1/4 earlier of where it is now

EDIT: So it needs Resnap + Recalculate slider lengths. It gets more and more "on" the timeline as the song gets on. Also super obvious when playing it on Taiko.
