Hello! I'm only going to mod the insane diff. was going to mod collab, but insane took me long enough to do... however, both diffs have pretty much the same problems, so you can review collab diff after looking at my suggestions and see what's wrong.
[Insane]
General issues:
• Lots of spacing errors, especially when trying to make jumps when the rhythm changes a bit. Best example is 2:53:059 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - where, following the general spacing of the song, there is nothing that tells the players that hose are going to be 1/2 jumps.
• Weird rhythm changes. It was hard actually triyng to figure out what you were following - it's mostly the vocals, but there are ... well, weird changes all throughout the map which make it a bit infuriating to play.
• New Combos seem to be more random than anything. Rethink new combo placements and make them more consistent.
This really needs work, but it's not that bad. Anyway, let's start.
00:06:803 - How about adding a triplet here? Since you're following the synth it feels empty not to map those three notes that are clearly heard.
http://puu.sh/c62S1/c9169dfa9f.jpg00:09:759 (6) - This does not go here, it's off time. Replace this slider with something like
this, and add a note here 00:10:202 -
00:12:862 (1) - Remove this slider and replace with only one beat, like
this.
00:14:044 (5) - new combo and 00:14:198 - add note. You can make this part
this way, where (3) is a ghost note, and fills nicely the beat between the vocals.
00:15:227 (5) - new combo here
00:19:069 (2) - remove
00:21:138 (3,4) - this is another of the weird rhythm thingies i mentioned. in the following combos you're clearly following the vocals but this is simply following the beat which makes it weird. i suggest doing something like this, which also follows the vocals:
http://puu.sh/c642V/0ac3f8b0eb.jpg where you can place a ghost note on the red tick to fill in. both play nicely
00:25:276 (3) - replace with a slider
http://puu.sh/c64cW/a6d9b0dadf.jpg00:28:527 - 00:38:133 - this break... you can fill in with some slow sliders probably and low-spaced beats. it would be much nicer if this was mapped.
00:40:645 (1,2,3,4,5) - in this combo, you begin (1 & 2) following the vocals, then change at (3). I suggest remapping this to follow the vocals or space out the sliders at (3) to make it more clear.
00:43:306 (1) - remove NC, NC here 00:43:601 (2) -
00:43:601 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - maybe add some ghost notes here, and space 4,5,6 out.
00:49:512 (6) - move to 00:49:660 - , maybe you can add ghost note here 00:49:956 -
00:50:842 (4) - remove
00:52:468 (1) - make somethiing like this:
http://puu.sh/c655a/578332721e.jpg00:53:503 - maybe add ghost note
00:54:833 (7) - new combo
00:55:719 (1) - remove nc
00:56:458 (12) - remove slider, make note
00:56:754 - add note
01:19:069 (5) - replace with notes and add nc
01:24:833 - 01:26:310 - what happened here? add some notes there
01:27:345 (3,4,5,6) - this could be something like this
http://puu.sh/c66Jl/ecab3f199e.jpg (5) is ghost note
01:29:118 (2) - make note, and do something like this in this combo:
http://puu.sh/c675W/be759ccab1.jpg01:33:256 (4) - maybe only one reverse and add a note after?
01:34:439 (1) -
http://puu.sh/c67PD/aa7a676b9b.jpg sounds a little bit better like this but i'm really not sure.
01:40:645 (2) - needs better spacing, can't tell if it's a jump while playing
01:41:828 (5) - ^
01:46:113 (3) - make this slider longer and delete 01:46:409 (4) -
01:47:443 (3,4,5,6,7) - same rhythm/spacing problem as before, space everything out here
01:49:217 (7) - make note
01:49:512 - add a long slider here, and do somethiing like this:
http://puu.sh/c68fo/0cf812725e.jpg01:58:527 - maybe add a ghost note
02:05:177 (6) - move to 02:05:030 - and make it 1 tick longer
02:07:246 (5,6,7,8) - spacing problems
02:07:985 - maybe add ghost note
02:08:133 (1,2,3) - make it like this
http://puu.sh/c68xi/a178fa2653.jpg02:09:315 - probably add note here
02:13:453 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6) - all of this could be a little more spaced in my opinion
02:24:685 (3) - make this a long slider
02:25:129 - add note
http://puu.sh/c68Fu/e584610c11.jpg02:26:902 (5) - not really sure if it should be under (4)
02:29:414 - place a note here and here 02:29:562 - and move the spinner to0 2:29:709 -
02:32:961 - to 02:43:601 - , this break could be mapped, although it might be a bit hard.
02:45:374 - add note
02:46:120 - add note
02:50:251 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - sounds better this way, imo:
http://puu.sh/c68Ui/f3d6a6121b.jpg02:53:059 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - spacing problem i mentioned at the beginning
03:01:335 (5) - move to 03:01:187 -
03:08:133 (1,2) - spacing problem
03:13:158 (4) - move to 03:13:010 -
03:13:306 - add note and nc here
03:13:601 - add note
03:15:227 (6) - remove reverse
03:16:705 (1) - remove reverse, make it longer
03:21:434 (6) - nc
03:22:468 (3) - move this where (4) is and (4) to where (3) is
03:24:241 (4) - move this to 03:24:094 -
Other things:
• I suggest mapping the whole song. You're only missing 10 seconds, so it shouldn't be too much, right?
• The choruses feel empty compared to the other parts of the song. I suggested a lot of ghost notes already, but it still feels empty following just the vocals, so I suggest you do add more notes to keep the player tapping and not losing rhythm, or get bored of the pauses.
• Needs a lot of improvement in the visual part, mainly spacing and making pretty patterns. Distance snap really helps you with this, so be sure to use it!
• I love this song so you better map it perfectly! Ok, I'm kidding. But I really do love this song, so that's why I modded it
And that's pretty much all I have to say for now. I really want to mod all others diffs, but maybe some other time, this took me a real long time for some reason. Good work, I expect to see this being worked on. Thanks for mapping one of my favorite K-ON! songs \o/
