You should change these things on every difficultie:Combo colours:You have a bright blue-white background, and then you have colours like green and (red)brown in your combo colours. This doesn't fit very good. The BG is very bright as well, not having 1 bit of darker colour in it. I'd suggest using colours like:
- Yellow, Magenta, Skyblue, Grey
- I made a collection of these, maybe you like them:
[Colours]
Combo1 : 255,255,0
Combo2 : 119,187,255
Combo3 : 192,192,192
Combo4 : 128,255,128
Consistancy:One Another and Hyper you have a lot of inconsistancy going, you should try improving it so the gameplay gets better and its more enjoyable when you actually are able to read what you play!
Easy00:11:926 - Add a circle to improve the transition from slider to slider. It is better to keep the "rythm" consistant, so beginners don't get confused. Its always good to put slider/circles on white ticks, so they have a consistant clicking. For a beginner, they expect it to be that way.
00:15:012 (3) - This overlap is fine. Though, i'd say i wouldnt advise you to use this in a Easy difficutlie. Beginner start to learn how to play, the basics. These are pattern which should appear on Hard.
00:15:012 (3,4) - If you think about it, when you move with you hand right when the pervious slider is ending upwards, you should keep playing this way. Its a little blocky, if you play to the side, and then up again. Might be a little uncomfy for newbies.
00:18:612 (2) - For a beginner, it is harder to play 1/2 than 1/1. It is not too hard, but its also not very easy to read for them. If i may suggest another pattern which goes better that way in playment.
Starting at 00:18:440 - Now you have 2 sliders each starting at a white tick, so its easier to play and doesnt confuse much.
00:43:298 (2) - Your consistancy is bad here; you had 1/1 and then you go 1/2. Its not wrong, it'd just confuse new players. Why not moving it 1/2 beat ahead to 00:43:469 -
- Imo, this would also fit the violin better!
01:24:955 (3,1) - I don't agree with this pattern. For a beginner, as already said, you should go flowy and not making such "back"-going sliders/circles. It isn't good for beginners to move the mouse (most of the time they use mouse) this way as well.
01:33:183 (2,1) - This overlap is really really disturbing
- First because it overlaps
- Second it should be so clustered
Beginners would might missclick it!
01:50:155 (3,4) - This pattern is a little harder to read again. You have this more sooth part mapped slowly, and then you have this 1/2 pattern. It might confuse! Try making 1 slider going from 01:50:155 - to 01:50:669 - and then start the next slider at 01:51:183 - . You will see it flows better, isnt too hard and more readable, and your consistancy is also better!
Kiai part is a perfect 1/1 part!
The beginner difficultie is pretty well mapped, just i don't really agree with the 1/2 1/1 changes, which might confuse.
Normal
- The spacing on this difficultie is a little high; its 1,3x when you already have such a fast BPM you should make the spacing so high.00:01:983 (3) - Curve this slider towards 00:02:840 (4) - so the transition and gameplay is better.
00:19:126 (1,2,3) - An advise. Its not really an issue nor a suggestion. You shouldn't have such a circle pattern when its played like something else. Maybe they expect a 1/1 slider row which is shaped into a circle and play it this way. I'd change it but you don't have to. I'd would just be a little confusing i guess.
01:04:383 (2,1) - Spacing here is completely wrong and should be consistant since its no harder diff yet.
01:27:698 (5,1) - , 01:30:440 (3,1) - , 01:13:983 (3,1) - , 01:16:726 (4,1) - I don't suggest having this stacked, even though there is a big tming zone between it, they might missclick it and read it wrong.
01:53:412 (4) - Move this circle lower, so the player doesnt need to go up and click it on a wrong or unusual place. Spacing is correct ofc, but i dont advise to have it like this. It's pretty much not comfy to play.
- Same here with this slider 02:18:440 (1) -
It's a good diff, though i find still some things what could be improved more. Next time you should use such big spacing.
Hard+00:10:383 (3,4) - This stack is unneeded and not good to play imo. You had from the start to this point no stack, and this stack breaks this consistancy. Also, i tried it and it would play alot better if you unstack it.
00:15:869 (1,2) - The spacing change here destroys your flow and consistancy, it also doesn't fit very well. Consider making normal spacing.
00:17:583 (2,1) - Spacing change at this part is unexpected tbh. You have these stack stop patterns, and then suggenly a spacing change as jump. I'd keep it normal spacing here and let if flow in later how its here 00:18:098 (2) -
00:15:869 (1,2) - Just a little note:
- You have consistant pattern following the exact same melody in the song then you have 00:17:755 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - a melody change.
-> This can lead to confusements as well! Please consider NOT using this the next time.
00:35:412 (5,6) - Jump is unexpected and not fitting. You always break your consistancy with these jumps, when you have a good flow. Why dont you make the stream going upwards to the next slider 00:36:269 (10) -
01:04:298 (2) - Circle should be here, there is no sound to it, right? Why this overmapping.
01:09:698 (7) - This circle is disturbing. I played it as 01:09:526 (6,1) - not 01:09:526 (6,7,1) - . I actually didnt expect a circle here. Also, you follow the drums, 01:09:698 - here is none
01:18:612 (3) - ^
01:26:069 (3,4) - Overmapped part again, this tripple isnt in the melody you follow or anything. You should remove these two circles. Also you have a silent part, soothing and silent. Not streamy
01:37:126 (8,1) - This little annoying slider 01:37:126 (8) - is ruining the pattern you was after. You tried to make a "tripple" slider continuing with the long slider. As in you have 01:37:126 - 01:37:212 - 01:37:298 - . But, when you play this little slider and wanting to click the longer one in the way you put them, you missclick this.
- Why not making 2 circles?
01:37:640 (2) - Move this circle onto 01:37:983 (4) - stack it! It gives a better flow and playment.
02:18:612 (2,3) - Dont symmetricly spacing change them.
- First it doesn't fit to the consistancy
- Second it doesn't flow as good
Difficultie is well mapped, but it needs more improvment in flow and consistancy.
ExtraImprovments highly suggested on: Consistancy, Flow and Overmapping!Consistancy of Spacing and (or) flow:
00:06:783 (1,2,3) - Spacing isn't the same, not consistant, which looks and plays not good.
00:09:526 (1,2) - Spacing isnt the same as 00:10:040 (3,4) - , you should improve this
00:16:383 (1,2) - and 00:16:726 (2,3) -
00:20:498 (1,2) -
00:22:212 (2,3) - It doesn't play well and it's hard to read due to the consistant rythm and then change.
00:33:183 (5,6,7) - Doesn't play well and it destroys your consistancy
00:36:269 (4) - Try stacking this with 00:36:612 (6) - to make a nice jump and to improve the flow. It'd also only just play better.
00:36:955 (1,2) - First you have a spacing change here, and then you stack 00:37:298 (2,3) - this. That's a no-go. Either keep it consistant or you imrprove the stacking as in, unstack. You might think, you have to stream it too.
00:49:726 (3,4) - Think about it; you have this consistant stream, spacing and timing wise, then 00:49:812 (4,5) - the spacing change which is completely nonsense and also timing wise the same but spacing wise incorrect. You should keep it consistant
00:52:040 (1,2) - Why this jump? There is no need for it and also it doesnt fit one bit. It only destroys the playment and consistancy.
00:52:726 (1,2) - They are stacked onto each other, why? You have a stream, you can't play this well, when it's stacked.
00:54:098 (1,2) - I understand the red short sliders, your choice, but why this. It's a new pattern and you shouldnt follow your previous one only because its "the same". It is not readable enough so play it good.
- 00:50:755 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - At this part
-> You should ONLY, if you really want to keep and make them, make them kind of jumps on white ticks. It is not readable enough to play it well and it destroys the streaming and gameplay.
01:36:098 (1,2,3,4) - These are way to annoying to play and hard to read. Consider making sliders!
01:36:783 (6,7) - You have the same spacing like 01:37:126 (7,1) - here, why? The timings are completely different and should be spacing wise, the same.
- Same on these: 01:38:498 (8,1) - 01:39:869 (6,1) - 01:41:583 (1,2,3) - ( look at this 01:41:755 (2,3,4) - , the spacing is almost the same, but timewise not)
01:46:040 (4,5,6) - Ok now this is really incorret and not good to play and too hard to read so you can actually play this.
01:47:240 (2,3,4,5) - ^
01:56:155 (1,2,3,4,1) - ^
02:01:640 (8,9,1) -, 02:01:983 (1,2,3) Spacing is similar but you still have this 1/4 to 1/2 though and not keeping the spacing you should.
02:03:869 (3,1) - Spacing towards this 02:04:040 (1,2) - doesnt make sense, you have this big spacing change and then again.
02:05:926 (8) - Place this 02:05:755 (7,1) - between them, so you have a better transition. Also, towards your consistancy, it would confuse less.
02:06:098 (1,2,3) - Spacing is almost the same again, you should improve it.
02:07:469 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,1) - ^ This is just so unreadable, really.
02:12:098 (4,5) - You didn't have this before, why do you suddenly make such a change. Its also hard to play, and during the hectic gameplay, you might not make this.
02:17:069 (1,2) - This spacing change is just so weird and incorrect towards your actuall spacing. You have this constant jump spacing change spacing and then an antijump which is in the middle of this part so nonsense. Stack it or make normal spacing.
- 02:17:069 (1,2,3) - Also, these are just so inconsistant, you really have to improve this.
Overmapping:
I most of the time only here a constant 1/1 melody, not streams.00:20:755 (2) - 00:20:755 (2,4,5) - , 00:43:040 (4) - 00:46:469 (2) - , 01:43:298 - These should be existent
01:56:155 (1,2,3,4,1) - 01:58:898 (1) - ( It's a consistant stream and the melody doesn't change) These should be existent
- First for the reason its doesnt fit the music
- Second, it doesnt play well
- Third, you overmap the song
- Fourth, there is no sound to map to when you had it consistant
02:19:812 - The correct rythm actually is:
Read the "testplayers opinions" in my queue, to get more opinions about Hyper , Another and the Taiko difficutlies!IRC - One of my testplayers agrees with me about the fact, the streams being unreadable sometimes:
14:31 Sephibro: the overlapped streams are hardly readable
14:31 BounceBabe: i know
14:31 BounceBabe: thats a big problem
14:32 BounceBabe: its not easy to read which leads to missunderstood patterns
You need to improve a lot in spacing consistancy on this difficultie. It's a complete mess sometimes and they are nonsense and really hard to read. The map overall has great flow and potential in becoming a good map. Good luck with improving!
