Hi!! I'm helping Gabe with his Christmas queue so here I am to help :>

Good luck!
[General]
- The timing sounds awful o.o Try changing the offset to 9357 and resnap all notes. Sounds much better imo.
P.s: I modded your map with your current offset, not mine (^) so before changing it (if you're going to) check my mod below.
- 00:18:217 (1,2) - This pattern looks kinda odd since you were doing blankets so i suggest you to make (1) a bit more curvy and then place (2) like this:
- 00:21:180 (2) - ^ similar as above. This blanket isn't perfectly at all by a couple of grids (yes, very nazi but still). Try to make this slider more curvy and then place (2) more correctly:
- 00:21:551 (3,4) - Since this is an easy diff i suggest you to replace these two notes with a 1/1 slider. You made a lot of patterns with single circles like this one but i think it is too much for an easy diff. Easy diffs need long sliders, simple 1/1 patterns and stuff. If you do stuff like this it will feel like a normal diff rather than an easy.
- 00:24:514 (1,2) - Hmmm more minimal details. I think this pattern would play better if you place these two sliders more like this. I think they will make the flow feel more natural, since the placement of (2) looks kinda odd imo. Just move a bit the 3rd (last) node of the slider (1) like this:
- 00:27:477 (2,3) - Same thing about 00:21:551 (3,4). I'll not mention any more this problem, if you agree try to find spots like this one and make them morea easier for beginners by yourself. :>
- 00:29:328 (2,3,4) - Hmmmm this pattern flows bad imo. As i've said early: try to make the map flow naturally. I think this placement is much better and feels more natural and comfortable to play:
- 00:34:884 (4) - I think this slider would sound muuuch better and would follow more the music if the whistle is placed at the start, not at the end of it. Try it and see if you agree :> i think it follows the guitar perfectly.
- 00:49:328 (2) - Why did you added a whistle at the end of this slider? i think it sounds redundant. Also you were following the guitar so i don't know why did you added it. I suggest you to remove it and then add whistle at 00:50:440 (3).
- 00:53:773 (5) - Same here about ^ but at the repeat of this slider
- 00:55:625 (6) - I can hear a bell sound so you should add whistle at the end of this slider.
- 00:56:736 (1) - The guitar can be heard at the repeat of this slider, not at the start so i would rather remove whistle at the start and add it at the repeat.
- 00:59:699 (1,2,3,4) - Why did you s top to add whistles all of a sudden o.o?
- 00:35:995 (1) - Minimal spacing error.
- 00:43:773 (4) - Another imperfect blanket
- 00:44:884 (1) - ^
- 01:14:143 (3,4) - More patterns with bad flow :< i suggest you to move a bit these two notes like this to make this part flow more naturally:
- 01:16:366 (5) - Hmmm consider adding a hitfinish to the end of ths slider to give the map a more "closed" end.
I didn't like the difficulty tbh. Lots of patterns flow kinda bad, due to some notes placed unintuitively. I pointed out some flow problems so try to fix the whole diff by yourself considering my tips. Also, consider adding some hitfinish to the diff. Only whistles sound kinda dull.
*The slider velocity is soooo fast imo. I would rather used a 1.20 of slider velocity since the bpm of this song is kinda high but i think it is too late to change this..
- 00:23:403 (3,4) - I think this pattern would flow better if you move a bit the slider (3) 2nd node and then move (4) like this:
- 00:42:662 (1) - I suggest you to remove this nc and then add it to 00:42:291 (4) due to the change of vocal and for consistency with your previous combos. I think it fit much better
- 00:50:440 (2) - This slider with repeat at a red tick sounds meh :< imo. I suggest you to make this slider shorter, make it end at 00:51:180 and then add a note at 00:51:551 to fill up that empty space. It sounds better to me
- 00:57:847 (3) - Hmm this is very.. minimal :3 consider making this slider a bit more like this, more curvy to make a better blanket with the end of 00:56:736 (1). I know that the slider dissapears in gameplay but i think it makes the map look a bit more clean and pretty:
Hmm i like this difficulty. Plays and looks fine! i think it sounds a bit eh.. empty of hitsounds (Like the easy diff. You shoould consider adding some hitfinishes for example at 01:17:106 (3), 01:03:773 (1).. etc. Like i've said about the easy diff hitsounds: only whistles sound kinda dull.
- 00:09:884 (2) - Hm another simple detail: I think this would flow better if you place this slider more like this imo:
- 00:10:995 (5,6) - ^ I would rather ctrl+G these two notes. They would flow much better too (as always, imo). I think it would make the flow feel more natural
- 00:24:884 (2) - Why u didn't add a whistle at the start of this slider? It would sound nice to follow the guitar so consider adding it.
- 00:33:773 (1) - ^
- 00:38:217 (1) - I think that jumps like this one are too exaggerated for a Hard difficulty. I suggest you to reduce it a tad (this applies to the rest of jumps of this kind)
- 00:40:069 (7,1) - ^
- 00:42:662 (1) - No whistle :< like at 00:24:884 (2)
- 00:50:440 (1) - Hmmm I personally prefer this slider placed correctly with distance snap, i mean, unstacked. I think it makes this part feel better. At some parts you stacked notes and these fit perfectly with the music but i think this isn't the case.
- 00:52:662 (1) - ^
- 00:53:403 (3) - Another minimal detail that might improve flow: consider adjusting the notes placements a bit more like this. I think it makes the flow feel naturally like it should be imo:
- 00:54:884 (1) - No whistle again ;_; pls
- 01:17:106 (6) - Perhaps add hitfinish to emphasize the end of the song?
I love this diff It has few exaggerated jumps (imo) but the rest is really good. I think you don't need those jumps since the mapset has an insane diff already. Oh and, I suggest you the same stuff i've said about easy and normal: You shoould consider adding some hitfinishes for example at 01:17:106 (3), 01:03:773 (1).. etc. Like i've said about the easy diff hitsounds: only whistles sound kinda dull.
- 00:10:440 (1) - Hmm why does this difficulty has so many unnecesary short combos? Please consider removing some nc to make the nc fit with the music. So many combos of 1 and 2 look bad and dont fit with the music. Here, I suggest you to remove this combo.
- 00:12:662 (1) - ^
- 00:14:884 (1) - ^
- 00:17:106 (1) - ^
- 00:25:254 (4,5) - Why u didn't add whistles to these sliders o.o? i suggest you to add whistle at the start of those two sliders to keep following the music.
- 00:25:995 (6) - ^ also to this one
- 00:26:736 (1,2) - This spacing is very confusing. I don't know what you did here but it looks like if (1) were more far away in the timeline.. like if it should be clicked way too later than it should be.
- 00:34:143 (1) - Another unnecessary nc imo. :< The lyric says "and a happy new year". It's all part of the same verse so please consider removing this combo to make all these notes part of a same combo.
- 00:43:032 (1) - ^
- 00:45:440 - Since this is the hardest diff and a bell sound can be heard here you can add a note to keep following constantly the melody.
- 00:53:773 (3) - I think here's missing a whistle at the end of this slider. If not, consider adding it to keep following the bell sound
- 00:55:995 (4) - ^ same thing, but at the start of this slider
- 00:57:847 (4) - No whistle? :< since you added before whistles like this i think it would be good to keep consistency so I suggest you to add it.
- 01:00:069 (4) - ^
- 01:02:291 (5) - ^
- 01:04:699 (1) - Moar unnecessary nc imo. I suggest you to remove this nc (for the same reason written at the start of the mod).
- 01:04:884 (5) - ^Then a nc here would fit perfectly to follow the music. After this you should remove nc of 01:05:254 (1). This is to follow more the drums.
- 01:05:810 (1) - ^ And afterwards, remove nc here. I think this part doesn't change in anything so i don't see this combo useful. I think it would fit much more if you remove it and then add nc at 01:05:995 (2).
- 01:07:106 (1) - Like i've said earlier, its all part of the same verse "and a happy new year" so I suggest you to remove this nc to make all these notes part of a same combo.
- 01:09:699 (6) - Here, the vocal changes so I think that it fits and follows much more the music if you add a nc here and then remove nc at 01:09:884 (1).
- 01:10:810 (6) - ^ After that I suggest you to add nc here, and then remove nc 01:11:551 (1). Muuuch better (imo) :>
- 01:14:514 (1) - Nooo moar unnecessary nc :< please consider removing nc here, adding nc at 01:15:254 (6) and then removing nc at 01:15:440 (1).
- 01:17:106 (5) - Perhaps a hitfinish to emphasize the end of the song?
This difficulty flows well and all. I just disliked a lot the ncs, so this is mostly a hitsound/nc based mod. :< I found most of your combos unfitting so I suggested some nc patterns to rework yours. I hope it helps :> in fact, i think that is all what this difficulty needs. It needs some hitfinishes (like i've said about the rest of the diffs), rework to some newcombo patterns and adding some whistles. That's all.
Good luck!
