[General]
- You are missing a reverse arrow, if you don't plan to skin it use the default one.
- You dark purple combo colour blends in with the BG and the video, make it lighter please.
- The rhythm of these maps need a lot of work, please try to follow the song more closely. Suggestions below.
[Easy]
00:47:979 (3) - Make this end at 1/1 at 00:48:408 - the short 1/2 slider will be confusing for beginners.
00:55:693 - Remove this break, keep on mapping.
02:14:122 (1,2) - I think it's better to keep it 1/1 here.
02:20:979 (1) - ^
02:23:122 - Note
The 1/1 rhythm is good for an Easy, I feel you could tidy this up a bit by aligning notes and improving sliders.
[Normal]
- The rhythm is okay for a normal I guess. I still feels the vocal could be follow more closely here and the placement also seems random so try to work on that.
- Some of the square sliders you use look really ugly like 01:50:550 (7) - and especially 02:18:407 (4) - I think the map would look better if you kept it as curved sliders.
00:36:408 (1) - Try to make this overlap less with 00:35:550 (5) -
00:41:550 (3) - Move this to 1/1 at 00:41:550 - ?
00:52:693 (1) - The start of this doesn't follow anything in the song maybe start at 00:52:479 -
00:54:408 (3,4) - Again the start isn't following the song, move this back to 00:54:193 -
01:14:979 (3) - Align this with 01:14:122 (2) - or place somewhere else? It looks random / bad at the moment.
01:08:550 (1) - End at 01:08:979 follows the song.
01:20:550 (3) - Placement looks random, try to make a pattern with 01:20:550 (3,4,1) -
01:30:407 (1,2,3,4) - What is this following? Delete the 1/2 notes they sound odd.
01:50:122 (6) - Try and move this away from 01:48:836 (5) - placement plays badly.
01:56:765 - Note? why not keep following the vocal here.
Again concentrate on the rhythm. Try to keep it simple whilst following the song.
[Hard]
- This is practically the same as Insane with a slower slider velocity so I don't really have much to suggest here except the same thing as I said on Insane. For Hard try to make the rhythm simpler while keeping a close eye on the rhythm, use less 1/4 than Insane but don't just spam 1/2.
- You could probably work on the patterns and sliders some more too, see the suggestion on Insane.
00:34:693 (3) - Space this out so it doesn't overlap with 00:34:265 (2) -
[Insane]
- I feel this diff has too much 1/2 and doesn't follow the song closely enough. From 00:29:550 to 00:43:050 you should follow the guitar and instruments more closely and use 1/4. From 00:43:908 to 02:06:622 you could probably follow the vocal more since it carries the song. Alternatively you could follow the instruments more closely but right now you seem to be placing 1/2 notes / sliders everywhere without much consideration for the rhythm. While this is passable the rhythm could be much better! ^_^ Some example suggestions below:
- You could also work on your patterns some more, the placement of circles often feels random. Why not check out the mapping techniques forum here for some ideas?
00:30:408 (4) - Move this to 1/4 at 00:30:300 to follow the guitar. You could create a slider that ends at 00:30:515 to follow the end of the guitar.
00:30:515 - This needs a note to follow the rhythm. You could stack a note on top of 00:30:622 (6) - if you decide not to create a slider.
00:30:836 (1) - This should be a 1/2 slider to follow the rhythm. The long slider doesn't really follow anything.
00:31:693 (3,4,5) - Same 1/4 suggestions as above.
00:33:408 (5,6,7,8,9) - This stream is kind of random on it's own. If you want to keep it you should extend it to 00:34:479 since this is where the stream sound ends.
00:35:122 (3,4) - Use 1/4 here again to follow guitar and piano.
00:36:408 (1) - Again better as a 1/2 slider.
00:36:836 - Note here if you do ^ and then add notes at 00:36:943 - and 00:37:051 - and 00:37:158 - to follow the guitar
00:37:372 - Note here if you do ^ to follow the guitar
00:38:551 (1,2,3,4) - Same rhythm here.
00:40:265 (1,2,3,4,5) - Like 00:33:408 (5,6,7,8,9) - the stream is random on it's own, if you're going to start it then you should finish imo. If you don't want to follow the stream a spinner might be a good idea.
00:44:122 (3,4,1) - Here you could have a 1/1 slider to follow the vocal.
00:44:979 (1) - This one should start at 00:44:765 - to follow the vocal better.
00:46:479 - Needs a note.
00:46:908 (2) - This one should start at 00:46:693 (1) - to follow the vocal better.
00:49:693 (1,2) - Similar thing here, you should use the 1/1 sliders where they fit and not just randomly.
00:51:622 (2) - A 1/1 slider would fit here
00:53:550 (4) - and here
01:03:836 (3) - and here etc. Hopefully you get the idea, just try to follow the rhythm of the song more for this part. ^_^
01:09:622 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Random stream that doesn't follow the song, remove please.
01:20:979 (1) - Don't change SV speed mid slider! Also slow down is random so I'd suggest removing it.
01:47:122 (1,2,3) - Don't leave a massive gap in the rhythm here. There's vocal and instruments playing away, it's best if you map this bit.
01:49:908 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - This stream for the most part doesn't follow anything so I'd remove it. It also sounds weird because at 01:50:550 to 01:50:765 - is a 1/6 drum roll.
02:08:979 to 02:20:979 - Same suggestion as 00:29:550 to 00:43:050 since this is a repeat of that part.
Overall, I think you should remap keeping a close eye on the rhythm and try some patterns because that's the most important thing here. I hope I've given enough examples of where to improve it but if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
Good luck!
