  1. Can you find a version of the BG that's 1024x768 or another BG? The black borders are quite ugly and someone's face has been cut off in the bottom right corner!
  2. The 30% volume normal sections are a bit too quiet imo, increasing them to 35-40% gives more feedback.
  3. I also think the volume in kiai time is a bit quiet, maybe increase that to 60% or so?
  4. I don't really understand the combo patterns, some combos are very short like in Dancing ~ 00:26:906 (1,2,3) - and 00:35:214 (1,2) - and then some are really long ones straight after like 00:36:137 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Also stuff like 00:21:368 (1,2,1) - in Sleeping. I just didn't understand why you did this, some of these don't even have spacing changes or new vocals. So instead of posting a combo mod maybe just look at the combos and shorten or lengthen some of them? (Unless there's a good reason ofc =P)

  1. Compared to Walking this is very easy. I'd suggest making this Harder or Walking easier
00:33:368 (1) - Finish?
01:17:676 (3) - Finish start?
01:19:522 (4) - I think the extra return might be confusing for new players when most of the sliders only have 1 return.
01:26:906 (2) - ^
01:32:445 (1) - Soft finish?
01:39:830 (1) - ^
01:45:368 (3) - Same thing about extra return.
01:57:830 (5) - ^ etc etc, 2 sliders fit better in some places imo and you can create more of a pattern.

[Walking]

  1. AR +1 omg it makes the map look so much neater especially the overlapping 1/2. I know it's 1 less than hard but try it ;)
00:16:753 (4) - Move this back to 00:16:522 and respace? I think it's better to follow the main beat here. Either way remove the clap at the end! =P
00:22:291 (1) - Soft finish?
00:36:599 (3) - ^ at the end.
00:47:676 (7) - Missing clap?
00:51:368 (6) - ^
01:26:676 (4,5) - Align this diagonally with 01:25:983 (3) - ?
01:32:445 (1) - Soft finish start?
01:39:368 (1) - ^ the end this time.
01:59:676 (4) - Vocal starts on 1/4.
02:01:753 - Really expected a note here.
02:44:445 - Expected notes here because of the vocal. Sleeping has them so why not here?

[Dancing]

  1. End the first kiai section at 01:30:599 - like the other diffs
00:10:522 (2,1) - Reverse selection on 00:10:522 (2) - ? I like this jump but it's quite a bit different from 00:14:214 (2,1) - and I can see some people complaining about it because of the slider direction.
00:22:291 (1) - Remove finish? I don't think normal finish fits, a soft finish works better imo.
00:29:676 (4) - ^
00:35:676 (2) - Align this with the end of 00:35:214 (1) - ? It looks better imo.
00:36:599 (2) - Finish? It fits the finish pattern you had in the previous section.
00:38:906 (1) - Instead of having a jump here I think it'd be cool if you placed this where the end of 00:36:599 (2) - was and then continue the pattern.
00:44:445 (4) - Finish?
01:22:522 (6,7,8,1) - I think this stack ruins your pattern. Remove the 1/4 and continue the pattern up with 1/2? It looks and plays better for me.
01:37:983 (2) - Remove finish? Just use hit normal here since the beat is strong?
01:39:830 (3) - Soft finish is better.
01:54:137 (2) - Missing clap?
01:59:661 - Inheriting section is unsnapped, since this is a slowdown section it's probably a good idea to snap it to the timeline =P
01:59:676 (2) - Hmm the vocal starts on 1/4 at 01:59:791
02:00:122 - Unsnapped inheriting section, same as I said before.
02:14:676 (8) - Why's the spacing smaller here, shouldn't gradually increase like 00:59:214 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) -
02:44:445 - I kind of wanted some more notes here since you seemed to be following the vocal D:
03:33:599 (6,7,8) - Really nazi but the spacing isn't even! (I did actually notice this in game lol)

Well those are my suggestions and opinions. I'll have to check out the other maps in the project! Star for now ^_^

  3. I also think the volume in kiai time is a bit quiet, maybe increase that to 60% or so? I wanna keep it like this, I feel it sounds to loud higher than this

So instead of posting a combo mod maybe just look at the combos and shorten or lengthen some of them? (Unless there's a good reason ofc =P)
00:10:060 (1,2) - there's a change in the music here that made me have this short combo, if you listen the song you'd notice. ^^
00:11:214 (1) - This single note combo is just to emphasize the jump I did following the "Dust" word in the song.
00:13:753 (1,2,1) - Same as above
00:15:368 (1,2) - This short one is cuz I changed to antijumps at here: 00:16:522 (1) - Also because I switched to follow the music not the vocals.
I wont explain all of them, but I hope this examples helps you understand what I was trying to do.


[Sleeping]

  1. Compared to Walking this is very easy. I'd suggest making this Harder or Walking easier
I wanna keep sleeping as easier as I can for the sake of beginners.

00:33:368 (1) - Finish? Fixed
01:17:676 (3) - Finish start? fixed
01:19:522 (4) - I think the extra return might be confusing for new players when most of the sliders only have 1 return. is true, changed
01:26:906 (2) - ^ Fixed
01:32:445 (1) - Soft finish? Done, also in other diffs
01:39:830 (1) - ^ ^
01:45:368 (3) - Same thing about extra return. Fixed
01:57:830 (5) - ^ etc etc, 2 sliders fit better in some places imo and you can create more of a pattern. fixed

I consulted this with Liss, we wanna keep AR like this, don't wanna make this closer to a hard.

00:16:753 (4) - Move this back to 00:16:522 and respace? I think it's better to follow the main beat here. Either way remove the clap at the end! =P
00:22:291 (1) - Soft finish? Wanna keep it normal
00:36:599 (3) - ^ at the end. Same
00:47:676 (7) - Missing clap? yes, ty
00:51:368 (6) - ^ fixed
01:26:676 (4,5) - Align this diagonally with 01:25:983 (3) - ? ok
01:32:445 (1) - Soft finish start? fixed
01:39:368 (1) - ^ the end this time. did it
01:59:676 (4) - Vocal starts on 1/4. I think that would be hard to catch
02:01:753 - Really expected a note here. I wanna keep it simpler
02:44:445 - Expected notes here because of the vocal. Sleeping has them so why not here? That's because I didnt wanna finish sleeping on 1/2 beat, so I continue with the white tick and added a slider

[Dancing]

  1. End the first kiai section at 01:30:599 - like the other diffs

00:10:522 (2,1) - Reverse selection on 00:10:522 (2) - ? I like this jump but it's quite a bit different from 00:14:214 (2,1) - and I can see some people complaining about it because of the slider direction. Fixed
00:22:291 (1) - Remove finish? I don't think normal finish fits, a soft finish works better imo. I wanna keep them, the sound is more deep, and is what I want for this part
00:29:676 (4) - ^ ^
00:35:676 (2) - Align this with the end of 00:35:214 (1) - ? It looks better imo. ok
00:36:599 (2) - Finish? It fits the finish pattern you had in the previous section. I wanna keep a plain clap
00:38:906 (1) - Instead of having a jump here I think it'd be cool if you placed this where the end of 00:36:599 (2) - was and then continue the pattern. I really wanna make those stand out, because Im following BG voices here, and a jump do the work
00:44:445 (4) - Finish? nu >':
01:22:522 (6,7,8,1) - I think this stack ruins your pattern. Remove the 1/4 and continue the pattern up with 1/2? It looks and plays better for me. Changed
01:37:983 (2) - Remove finish? Just use hit normal here since the beat is strong? done
01:39:830 (3) - Soft finish is better. done

01:59:661 - Inheriting section is unsnapped, since this is a slowdown section it's probably a good idea to snap it to the timeline =P ok
01:59:676 (2) - Hmm the vocal starts on 1/4 at 01:59:791 But I find it awkward to play >":
02:00:122 - Unsnapped inheriting section, same as I said before. fixed
02:14:676 (8) - Why's the spacing smaller here, shouldn't gradually increase like 00:59:214 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - oops, actually it decreased back, but I exagerated, I fixed
02:44:445 - I kind of wanted some more notes here since you seemed to be following the vocal D: I was giving small gap since it doesn't have too much breaks
03:33:599 (6,7,8) - Really nazi but the spacing isn't even! (I did actually notice this in game lol) haha fixed, me and my 3 lvl grid

Well those are my suggestions and opinions. I'll have to check out the other maps in the project! Star for now ^_^
Thanks a lot Shulin, your mod was really helpful <3

EDIT: Lightened Walking, and changed background.
Shulin
Loving the new BG, some final opinions before bubble:

[General]

  1. Consider changing combo colour 4 for an orange colour, the combo colour I used was; Combo4 : 255,255,176
    but you might find a better one ^_^
[Sleeping]

01:07:522 (2) - Move this down 1 square just to reduce overlapping in game [/nazi]
01:47:214 (1,2) - ^
02:57:368 (7) - Too much empty space after this? Maybe just add a return?
03:01:060 (1,2,3,4) - I think it might be better to use sliders here, because the vocal at 03:00:830 - is much stronger than the beat I found myself clicking earlier. I think a new player would probably do the same.

Let me know what you want to do :)

I changed both yellow colors for orange tones, I liked how it looked, so changed both. And I did everything you pointed on sleeping.
Thanks for the re check~
