I just remembered why I postponed the mod so much. It has shitloads of diffs. And I don't even like the song at all...
[General]
The diff naming is pretty inconsistent and weird.
I suggest this (since symbols are already shown in the game client):
Kantan
aabc's Futsuu
Muzukashii
Oni
aabc's Oni
Inner Oni
Ura Oni
Add 'taiko' to the tags to underline, that this is a taiko only mapset (for searching taiko diffs in beatmap listings) then.
[Taiko Kantan]
01:16:070 - place a don here? This way too empty imo, lol
01:16:870 (2) - make this a kat, based on her voice.
01:22:470 - again, don
01:23:270 (2) - again, kat
[aabc's Taiko Futsuu]
00:44:870 (1) - I wouldn't do a big kat here. Even if a new section begins, the song doesn't emphasize this spot self, enough.
01:13:670 (1) - same here.
01:15:670 - because of a missing don, the upcoming triplet starts too late. The vocals imply to start hitting earlier and without a note here, the whole pattern looks offtimed.
01:20:070 (3) - same here, not enough emphasizing to place a big one here.
01:22:070 - same issue as in 01:15:670
[Taiko Muzukashii]
00:04:070 (1,2,3) - I always thought we are doing the taiko specific mapsets to avoid drumroll spam... Replace them with simple dons (like in the other diffs) Or do this maybe:
http://puu.sh/WA0EBut only the drumrolls look and sound like you forgot the half..
00:22:070 (1,1,1) - this should be kdk, because it sounds way better compared with previous 00:21:670 (1) - and upcoming 00:22:870 (2) -
00:27:170 (4) - I would remove this. This emphasizes the downbeat more.
00:47:870 (1) - this should be a kat, because 00:46:070 (1,2,1) - has the same melody movement and is made as kkd, too.
01:16:870 (1,1,2) - the vocals are moving downwards, so dkk is exactly the opposite of what the music calls for. kdd fits way more.
01:23:270 (2,3,1) - ^
01:25:670 (2) - remove repeat and add big kat on 01:26:270 - . There is nothing to drumroll over till the end. It just doesnt fit to finish a map like this. :S
[Taiko Oni]
00:07:270 - this misses a kat somehow. There is no syncope where you should leave the upbeat out.
00:28:870 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - believe me, this works way better:
http://puu.sh/XcJV - there is no reason to place it as you did before. (especialy the syncopic one on the blue tick).
00:59:270 (4) - making this one a kat follows the music movement more (dk kd). If you don't want to follow the vocal here, then 00:59:670 (1) - as kat is pretty random.
01:06:070 - add a note for the sake of consistency
01:14:370 (2,1) - this makes absolutely no sense. Why you place a double here? And why does the double start on blue tick when the rhythm isn't syncopic at all? Moving 01:14:170 (1) - to 01:14:270 might solve it.
01:18:470 (1,1,2,1) - this is invented and doesn't fit. When I remove the notes I can hear nothing that sounds closely like this rhythm. Replace it with something else. But not this gapleaving doubles.
The kiai feels random to me. Sorry. Especially the parts where you try to follow the vocals.
[aabc's Taiko]
Can't say why, but the doubles seem to work here (unlike in the [Taiko Oni] diff) :S and I can't find a reason why.
00:08:870 (1,2,1) - I would do the same like in 00:07:270 (1,2,3) - . It fits the music way more imo.
01:19:270 (2,3,1,2,3) - kkkdd works better for me. The higher tone of Miku ends on 01:19:470 (1) - , not on 01:19:370 (3) -
That's all >w<
[Taiko Inner Oni]
00:30:470 (1,2,3,1,1,2,1,2,1,1,1,1,2) - I prefer the 1/3 snapped stuff aabc used in his Taiko way more. It fits the music and the rhythm. The 1/4 stuff just feels overlayed and invented to me.
I'm surprised I didn't find more. D: Even though I don't like this mapping-every-note-I-can-hear-style.
[Taiko Ura Oni]
00:12:870 (1,1,1,1,2,1,1,2,1) - this works better for me:
http://puu.sh/Xd07 - everything else sounds offbeat to me.
00:30:470 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,2,3,1,2) - as mentioned in the Inner, I like the 1/3 more ;W;
00:32:370 (1) - this is overmapped and doesn't even create a cool sounding rhythm at all. Remove it.
00:33:970 (2) - ^
01:02:970 (2) - ^
01:14:570 (1) - move this on red tick. This syncope sounds stupid.
01:16:770 (2) - overmapped.
I didn't like this diff on any point. It's clearly mapped for difficulty and not to fit the song. The Inner should've been enough imo. Especially the 1/6 you placed are pure overmap and for the sake of difficulty. Same goes for the doubles (which fit sometimes in the song).
Just my two cents.
But there you go. As promised. Good luck with it!
