It is super effective!
Before I'll rip your map apart (actually I won't but it sounds good) let me give you some compliments. I love your work with the sliders and the SB is well-made. Kiyoshi did a good job with that. Also all the difficulties seem very artistic. It makes fun to play them.
[General]
- Nothing
- 00:11:702 - I'd start with a slider, because this "forever" should be exaggerated in my opinion. The slider could end here 00:12:781
00:14:220 - instead of a soft whistle I would prefer a normal whistle to put the sirenes in the foreground.
00:15:660 - same
00:17:099 - ^
00:18:538 - ^
01:09:625 - because this part is instrumental, I would suggest you to add an inheriting section to decrease the volume. I think 45 would be reasonable.
01:29:772 - maybe you should change the slider to a repeating one, so that this tone there isn't lost.
01:32:650 - same
01:35:528 - ^
02:00:892 - i think if you add a circle here, it would make the long gap before the one at 02:01:072 - more comprehensible. Also the exaggeration with the basedrum, shown in the song would be given.
02:02:331 - same
02:03:050 - the slider could end here and then you could do another circle at 02:03:230
02:03:770 - add a circle to show the base
02:04:669 - change the slider to something like that: so you can make a nice prelude for the kiai-mode and also exaggerate the drums vortex.
[Normal]
- 00:12:062 - Don't let the "forever" die
01:22:576 - maybe a repeating slider with whistle sound wouldn't be wrong. Since it is a prelude.
01:31:571 - those sliders feel strange, but I don't really know how you should change it. It sounds good, maybe it's just their shape or their placement
01:34:449 - same
01:37:327 - ^
01:39:486 - this slider is very wicked, because you don't really know when it ends, if you don't know the remix. For a rookie it would be difficult to get the note at 01:41:284
01:56:035 - same like 01:31:571
01:59:453 - adding a circle would sound better
02:04:669 - use something to exaggerate the vortex
01:29:412 - maybe you should add an inheriting section and make the notes a bit quieter
01:53:876 - notes could be more quiet.
Hard
- 00:15:839 - I would add a whistle sound here. In the song this tone is different from the other ones, i think you should accentuate it
00:18:718 - same
00:21:596 - ^
00:24:654 - I would place the note somewhere else. It just doesn't look cool enough. (maybe x: 256 and y: 164)
00:37:605 - I would recommend you add an inheriting section and increase the volume. Otherwise you can't here the sounds.
00:51:277 (1,2,3) - i would change the shape... It remembers me of something perverted. Same at 02:07:547
01:59:453 - Maybe adding a circle there would be good.
[Extra]
00:15:839 (8) - add whistle sound
00:18:718 - same
00:21:596 - ^
00:43:272 - maybe you could add a circle here, there is a drum sound and it would fit
00:46:150 - same
00:47:589 - ^
01:15:111 - I would add clap sound
01:15:381 - same
01:15:561 - ^
01:15:831 - ^
01:16:551 - ^
01:17:270 - ^
02:16:902 - I think you should add decrescending inheriting sections. It would make this part more dynamic
02:19:780 - Add another inheriting section with your original settings
02:25:536 - Make another decrescendo
I am sorry... I searched for something I could complain about, but I couldn't find anything.
I hope something I suggested has been usefull. If not... Modding your map was kinda fun
