1. 00:42:178 (6,2) - Make it more like http://puu.sh/dRGZV/9ba23194ef.png . Because the 00:42:178 (6) - 's tail was touch the 00:44:053 (2) - 's slider.

Ok That's all a simple mod from me
Thanks for the M4M thank you!
and Good luck with this mapset :3

Hey pinataman, here is my mod for m4m!

General

1. Your Another diff is pretty hard, so I would name it Extra. Or if you want, name it something creative that has something to do with your mapset, because it is your hardest difficulty.
   
   I've always regarded Another as a high level insane, and I'd rather not name it Extra since it is not a purple star (also it feels like its star difficulty is higher than it should be)
   
2. You can start a spinner with gradually increasing volume right here 00:01:865 to lead into the map
   
   I briefly considered this before, but under further inspection I still arrive at spinner doesn't feel good here, especially since it adds more energy than the song dictates (though that is a good way to get the beginning drums of the song which I really like).

Another

1. Pretty fun map. You should consider mapping the background beat more, rather than strictly following vocals in some areas.
   
   I know this has always been a problem for me, in particular because I value the vocals (which I will from now on refer to as melody) so much more than the background (which I will now call harmony), mainly because I can mostly never hear the harmony as well as I can hear the melody. Furthermore the melody tends to feel so much stronger than the harmony, and I want to map the parts that make me more passionate about the song. It's really hard to try to put myself in the perspective that favors the harmony (and I know that limits me as a mapper), so with some noted exceptions, I regretfully disagree with the rhythm suggestions. Even in some situations like 00:19:678 – where there is room for a note, the harmony conflicts with the melody so much that it is confusing for the player. Consider the map https://osu.ppy.sh/b/528125 and the pattern here 00:20:586 (2,3,4) - . I just absolutely hate this triple. It's not that it's overmapped, it's that there is no indication to switch from the melody to the harmony when everything has been the melody before. It makes me feel as a player that it wasn't my fault for missing 3 since the singer doesn't sing there and I was pretending to be the singer hitting the next note at 4. Furthermore I don't interpret this as a higher energy part of the song, so I feel the added intensity is inappropriate. There exists a way to get in the suggested beats in this map, but that would take the map in a direction I don't want to take it in. I do recognize that I'm asking you to try to have a melody only perspective when I'm not able to do the same for your perspective, and I apologize, but ultimately that's what has to happen when making a decision. I would imagine as I get more feedback I could be convinced to find ways to include the harmony, but for now I will only change the mentioned sections. /rant
   
2. I recommend you map these notes in this first section: 00:06:084 , 00:08:584 . You can still follow the vocals, while hitting these notes. Instead of using this reverse slider 00:05:615 (1) , try something like this: http://puu.sh/em5ut/c655fc2fe4.jpg
3. 00:08:115 (1,2,3) - And for this section, you can just add a slider like this: http://puu.sh/em5G3/223e7794c5.jpg
4. 00:09:521 (4) - It sounds like there are some more notes you should hit in this slider. I recommend making it a triple into a 1/2 slider, like this: http://puu.sh/em6bF/6507cfa8e2.jpg
5. 00:13:896 (5,6) - This jump is lacking some distance imo. Maybe stack it on this 00:13:115 (2) , or you could even make it an anti-jump, and stack it with 00:13:896 (5)
   
   good suggestion, fixed
   
6. 00:14:053 - I didn't notice earlier, but you really should have a note here to hit that beat, which means you can probably disregard my previous recommendation.
7. These trumpets: 00:17:490 , 00:17:646 , 00:17:803 , 00:17:959 - should be mapped. I recommend a rhythm like this: http://puu.sh/em8tx/20cd0f4291.jpg
8. 00:19:678 - It kinda bothers me that this drum isn't mapped, but I don't think this one is a big deal.
9. 00:19:990 - Should also map the trumpets that start here.
10. 00:21:553 - Another drum hit here that should be mapped imo.
11. 00:22:490 (5,6,7,8,9) - This part is over-mapped. I know you are trying to build up for the chorus, I think a decently sized jump would do the trick. A rhythm like this suits the music more:
    
    Ultimately I think the high energy/build up justifies the overmappedness of it, though if I had a better idea of the jump you were thinking I might be convinced. The rhythm you suggested doesn't feel strong enough.
    
12. There are a lot of blankets and slider placements that could use some work. I'm going to put all of them in a box off to the side if you are interested in fixing them. I don't like focusing my mods on "fix this blanket" or "stack this note" because I feel like those small details aren't as important as other things.
13. 00:23:115 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - This combo is a little bland because it is constant 1/2 notes. Look for places to add something different to mix up the rhythm, like a 1/1 slider. Personally, I think this would be a good place for a 1/1 slider: 00:25:303 (9)
    
    I do agree and like 9 better as 2 circles, but the rest seems okay so left as is. Since a circle → circle is ½ and slider → circle is 1/1 as far as clicking goes, this should give it the intensity it needs. Changed for future sections
    
14. Your NC's are also a litle misplaced. I think your NC's should be placed on the beginning of new measures (at least it sounds that way to me in the music.) So that is on every taller white tick, like here 00:24:053 and here 00:25:303 . I know it doesn't follow the vocals, but NC's shouldn't be dictated by the vocals usually. Just something to think about.
    
    The rhythm is generated by the melody, NC divides the rhythm, so I feel like the melody is ultimately the justification behind all of the NC. The first one should not be a NC because the two measures there feel continuous, and I would rather have one big combo than two small ones. For the second one, using the big white tick method requires the assumption that the rhythm falls on the downbeat, which is not true under this mapping perspective. This makes me wish I knew more about music theory because I think that would really help XD.
    
15. 00:24:521 (6,7,8) - So this is totally just my opinion, but I don't like when maps have like one combo that's perfectly symmetrical, and then every other combo has no symmetry. It makes it almost feel out of place, and doesn't match the rest of the map.
    
    Can't please them all I guess. I do have some symmetry elsewhere, but I'll think about this more as I make new maps.
    
16. 00:25:615 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Kinda got a lot of 1/2 notes again. Try to mix it up a little
17. 00:36:396 (5,6) - These notes are too close together imo.
    
    I moved 6 and everything that follows to have dist spacing 1.0x, which is better, but I'm sad it doesn't revolve around the 00:36:396 (5) - slider
    
18. 00:39:990 (5,1) - This distance can be easily confused for a 1/2 note, because it is about the same distance as your previous 1/2 notes. 00:39:990 (5,1) - Make it a stacked anti-jump? (Sorry I really like anti-jumps)
    
    Okay, moved to 1.3x spacing
    
19. 00:47:959 (1) - NC on a red tick is usually a big no-no. Just follow what I said earlier about the NC's and you should be good
    
    I'm not familiar with why it's a no-no but will probably see more comments like it in the future XD. Again the melody indicates that is a good position for NC.
    
20. You kiai time also has too many half notes imo. It needs some more variety. Adding triples would give it the flare it needs I recommend adding triples that would emphasize the vocals, like right here: 00:48:037 -
    
    Sorry I sound like an ass, but it's interesting that this advice conflicts with the advice here 00:22:490 (5,6,7,8,9) - . I think a triple adds too much energy to justify its overmappedness. However, I do appreciate the suggestion to increase its energy since I'm willing to bet I differ in interpretation to energy fluctuation with the community in some places. Here however I think it is still neutral, so no change.
    
21. 00:45:303 - Mapping strictly to vocals makes you miss this fairly important beat here. I would presonally map these notes
22. 00:50:303 - ^
    
    Under my perspective this feels really good to not map anything here. The oo-OH-oh part is a very high energy phrase and feels like a mini climax. The brief rest here lets the player recover from this intensity to get back into the chorus while further making this part feel more special since it is the conclusion of this section.
    
23. 00:57:959 - This gap is fine. You aren't missing anything important.
24. 01:06:084 (7,8) - ctrl + g these notes to swap their positions, then re-adjust. It feels better to me with the circle coming before the slider.
    
    Yep, too focused on the symmetry
    
25. Can apply my previous recommendations to the other kiais as well.

Blankets, stacks, object placement, ect

1. 00:07:490 (4,5,6,7,8) - A curved stream fits the music better here imo rather than a pointy edge.
   
   Hmmm, I can't really feel the difference to be honest. Elaborate?
   
2. 00:09:521 (5,6) - Can blanket better +1y
3. 00:15:928 (2,4) - ^
4. 00:23:115 (1,2) - ^
5. 00:24:990 (8,9) - ^
6. 00:24:053 (4,5) - ^ (long distance blanket) fixed
7. 00:25:303 (9,1,2) - Can make these sliders look more appealing like this: Hope I did as good a job as your picture
8. 00:31:240 (4,2) - Can improve blanket
9. 00:46:865 (2,4) - ^ fixed
10. 00:49:990 (2,3) - Stack these? Yes, but the 3 was confusing because you meant the 3 in the second combo at 00:50:771 (3) - , not the 3 that follows after this note, which is what the editor showed
11. 00:53:115 (1,5) - Can blanket better
12. 01:04:990 (3,4) - ^ - okay
13. 01:05:771 (6,7) - ^
14. 01:17:803 (4,8) – Stack? ok
15. 01:19:678 (3,1) - Blanket is a little close for my liking - okay
16. 01:29:365 (2,3,4,5) – Blankets - okay
17. 01:58:740 (5,3) – Stack? - okay
    Anything not mentioned was not changed

Insane

1. So by now you know what a lot of my thoughts are, so I'll try to not be redundant
2. 00:30:303 (1,2,3) - I know this is distance snapped, but it looks a little messy because there is that illusion that it's not distance snapped. Usually in Insanes, I choose to put more priority into making the notes look appealing rather than distance snapping them perfectly. So I would place them like this: http://puu.sh/emh5X/4a996895e6.jpg
   
   I thought this looked odd. Definitely took this suggestion, but how do you tell where they look right?Actually I think I answered my own question, you make the slider end have the same dist spacing
   
3. 00:30:928 (3,4,1) - So I know I said I wasn't going to say much about object placement, but this is more about a flow issue. Doing something like this http://puu.sh/emhef/46d035d614.jpg makes the flow feel A LOT better.
   
   SO GOOD! MODS SHOULD TRY TO BE AS GOOD AS THIS!
   
4. Kiai needs triples
5. This diff has the same NC issues.
6. 00:54:053 - Kinda weird to me having a slider end on a new measure like this. Sounds like you should start a note here.
   
   Is it weird because it breaks the rule to not end on the downbeat or is it weird because it feels like it doesn't match the song? Because I don't see the problem.
   
7. 01:05:303 (4,5,6) - Flow is not so good here. Putting it above the slider like this http://puu.sh/emhUh/adc5a4eb85.jpg makes it so you don't have to sharp of a turn
   
   Was afraid of such a large jump like that wouldn't match the energy, so changed the pattern instead.
   
8. 01:06:865 (1,2) - Not a big fan of this overlap.
   
   I wasn't either, but I liked the dist spacing. I changed the pattern
   
9. 01:33:740 (4,5) - A larger jump would be cool here, considering it's a finish note.
   
   Yep, rearranged 4 to make it jump better

Hard

1. 00:21:553 - Really don't want to skip this note.
   
   I put a slider over it
   
2. 00:36:396 (3,5) - You made these fit together nicely, but the hitcircle in the middle is all left out. It would be nice if you could blanket him in
   
   I think this hurts the flow a little, but it is overall a better pattern.
   
3. 00:46:553 (1) - Most people will tell you they don't like sliders that reverse this many times I also don't really like them.
   
   I can understand that, but my alternative is making 4 ½ sliders, and I don't like that. I want this part to be slow, and I think the general wave feel is a good fit for the song/flow.
   
4. 01:27:802 (1) - ^
5. 01:01:553 (1,2,3,4) - Could you give all these slider the look of being evenly spaced?
   
   Not here, I want to make the actual dist spacing increase, and I think the spacing of the ends do a better job indicating it.
   
6. NC's have same problem as previous diffs.
7. 01:12:646 (1,2) - Here is another example of the distance snapping I was talking about earlier. Even though it may be properly distance snapped, it looks way off because of how the sliders are positioned. I would position it more like this: http://puu.sh/emjFb/1db5f3b8e6.jpg
   
   Good change, fixed.
   
8. 01:21:240 - Put a note here?
   
   Yep
   
9. I would include when I see bad blankets and such, but I get the feeling you aren't trying to blanket, which is ok. Just let me know later if you want me to point out the blankets.
   
   Now that I know you want to maintain circular curvature, I'll take a second look again at all the difficulties.

Medium

1. So this is where my modding gets a little....bad =/ I'm really bad at making and modding Normals and lower lol. Sorry about that.
2. 00:44:521 (3,4,5) - Three 1/2 notes in a row (with two hitcircles) is too hard for newbies. I would just turn the circles into a slider.
3. 01:26:240 (4,5) - ^
4. 01:31:240 (4,5) - ^ (You may want to double check with someone more experienced with easier diffs)
   
   will do, so no changes
   
5. 02:06:240 (5,6) - ^
6. 02:11:240 (4,5) - ^
7. Everything else looks fine to me

Normal

1. 00:06:865 - Add a note here maybe?
   
   I like this here, but the problem is it doesn't make sense with the rest of the section. To match this rhythm, I would need to put a note here 00:09:365 (2) - , change these to 3 circles 00:16:553 (2) - , 00:19:053 (2) - , and then lose a little of my pacing because 00:12:803 (1,2,3,1,2,3) – is no longer a higher energy section. There is probably a way to get around this, so I'll try asking modhelp later.
   
2. 00:32:021 (2) - Ugly slider, sorry xD
   
   yah, changed
   
3. 01:01:553 (1,2,3,4,5) - These sharp angles don't feel too good in lower diffs.
   
   Alright, I guess another reason I don't like mapping lower diffs. I'll probably change this but let me get a second opinion first.
   
4. I can't find anything else lol

Thanks for the m4m! Thank you! Let me know if you need a mod for any future mapsets.
And good luck! Same to you!

Hmmm, very interesting. Both flows are interesting, but I think yours has the edge

00:27:803 (9) – NC

My rhythm is based on the vocals, so I feel like the vocals don't suggest a NC here. Same for most other NC. See [ Joey ]'s mod for a further argument.

00:33:740 (3) – ctrl+g

looks good

00:34:521 (6) – ctrl+g

Nah, I think the jump and anti-flow here emphasizes the singer well and make a good pattern.

00:40:146 (x) - add note
00:41:553 (x) - ^

I want this section to feel slower to match the song a little better as its going into the chorus, so I kind of want to undermap/follow the singer better.

01:21:396 (x) - add note

01:39:053 (5,1) - too close i think

redid the section and fixed this.

01:55:459 (2) – ctrl+g

I like it, but it didn't fit the context of the next pattern well, so I changed the next pattern too. Now it's great, thanks!

02:06:553 (x) - add note
02:11:553 (x) - ^

Where would you put it? I feel a little dirty admitting it's not a bad beat, but I can't seem to find a place that makes sense for it with the flow. Would you change the patterns before these? If so how?

02:21:318 (x) - ^

Nah, this is a resolution not a climax, so I don't think it needs that much energy. Plus a personal gripe of mine is ¼ notes out of sliders.

well rhythm is fine now, the main suggest is your arrangement
try to use more symmetry in your map will be really help

An example would really help me get an idea of what I need to change. I'm guessing it's not a flow issue and more of a design issue. If that's the case I'd like to see where my design is poor enough to suggest a change, otherwise it sounds like a preference.

[Insane]
00:21:240 (x) - add note

I'm very curious as to why. A circle here makes no sense to me when the reverse slider before it indicates the rhythm is on the singer, and the singer doesn't sing here.

00:22:959 (x) - ^

okay, made a circle here with 1.0x dist spacing. Same with Another. The spacing feels a little awkward but it feels necessary for reading but idk

00:34:053 (4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - use same space like what you use at before, too close space will make subject looks too crowd

While true, the jump from 5--> 6 is already really big, and the energy in the song from 4-->5 is slightly reduced, so lowering the DS is good for flow, but any bigger jump into 6 hurts the pacing really bad. I think the design in general is nice because of repetition of curvature, so I'm okay leaving as is.

00:57:490 (4) - move to x352 y48

Mind explaining why? I don't see or feel much of a difference.

01:21:865 (2) - clap
01:22:490 (4) – clap

Hmm, I wanted the lack of claps to emphasize low energy section, but you're probably right. However, I will add them at 34% volume to get across the same idea. Applied on all difficulties

the main suggest about this diff also is your arrangement
try to use the same distance on most part of this diff
it will make your map looks more clear

I'm guessing you mean a section like this 00:35:303 (9,10,1,2) - , and the suggestion is to make them all have the same DS? I can understand that, but I'd like to make the argument that the change in DS is better for the pacing of the map. The song is constantly fluctuating in energy not just in sections like intro or chorus, but in every note there is a slight change in energy. While I'm certain I made some mistakes along the way, I feel like the changes in DS that I use help to reflect these fluctuations to overall better fit the music. Do bring up any time that you feel like a fluctuation is off/wrong.

[Hard]
still, try to unified your distance, some stress rhythm you can make a small jump but on the normal time you only need one distance

Same argument as above, the song gets more energetic as it goes, so the map getting slightly more energetic with a higher DS makes sense to me. Though you're argument is probably more applicable for an easier difficulty

[Medium]
00:38:896 (1) - delete NC – good change

This might explain why. http://puu.sh/ezF35/3880674e01.jpg I wish I knew what the default ratio was. I'll increase by 10%, but if it needs more let me know.

[Normal]
00:22:802 (4) - why not have a normal sampleset here with a drum addition? I just feel that this circle could have a bit more sound impact when clicked.

On the one hand I'm not familiar with additions, but I tried it and thought it added too much emphasis

00:24:053 (2) - add clap to the head on the reverse? To go with the song. There's a whistle but I feel like there's also a clap missing
00:26:553 (2) - same for the slider head here after the reverse If you decide that you want to clap all of those then you should just keep the consistency and the heads after the reverses on sliders like 01:17:803 (3) - and 01:15:303 (3) - I won't point all of them out though

The problem with the clap is we already missed one, so trying to go back to that rhythm is confusing. I'd rather make these distinct by all claps → all whistles

00:30:615 (2) - clap this too?

This one is more of that the energy level here is different, so I think different hitsounds fit better.

00:38:896 (1) - maybe make this slider so that the 2 is softly blanketed?

Not perfect, but I tried and think I did okay

01:04:053 - note here? People might click the slider early cause they could expect it to be on the first beat of the measure... I still do this sometimes lol

I think a better solution is to make a slider here 01:03:740 (8) – that ends on the down beat, but ultimately I'm disputing whether there is actually a problem. I mean I fully see your point, but it doesn't change my feelings towards the rhythm. If you pretend to be the singer, let yourself take a break, and let the background do its thing, there's no need for you to click there. If I could insert a break, this would really fix it, but there isn't enough time for osu to let me. I'm very conflicted. I will ask about this to try to understand more about what easy players want and which rhythm is better.

01:11:865 (2) - clap also?

Same as above


01:42:803 (1,2,3,4,5) - maybe space these out a bit? (keeping ds) The circles are pretty close together and I think that could confuse some newer players.

Will do

01:59:365 (2,3) - These two just look a bit ugly next to each other... 2 doesn't have to be blanketed but it almost seems like these two objects are touching each other. I guess one way to get them away from each other is to rotate the slider a bit and then adjust.

Changed this section around. I still think the design of this whole section is poor though XD

[Medium]
cool


[Hard]
00:15:615 (1,2,3) - Equally space them?

No, I want the jumps more than the design

01:31:084 (1,2,3) - This is pretty difficult to read. I don't recommend stacking the 2 under the slider end like that. It makes one think that the 3 is the next circle that they're suppose to click when they actually got sucker-punched by a hidden 2. It's difficult because the slider follower circle thing kinda fades and retracts with the approach circle of the circle under the slider
This probably wouldn't be so hard if it was ar9 but this is a hard lol.

I'll keep an eye out for this, but I think it's only really problematic for hidden.

01:43:115 (2) - make this less curved? I just think it looks a bit more visually appealing like that

changed so that its more symmetric

[Insane]
00:26:553 (4,1,3) - have these sliders match a bit better?

Good suggestion

00:34:365 (5,7,9) - all three of these could have better blanketing but they all look the same so it's kinda nice

fixed

00:35:928 (3,5) - Try to make the curves match a bit better

they look good to me, post the code/pic of the fixed version so I can see the problem better

01:14:990 (3,6) - That looks really weird in play. Maybe uncondense a bit of that section?

Nah I like it. The design of the stack works

01:33:271 (3,4) - this could be blanketed better

fixed

01:43:115 (2,4) - lol slider ends never stack in any map... but try to get them a bit closer?

Oh really? Snarky comment aside, good catch, fixed.

02:02:646 (1,3) - fully stack the 3 to the slider head of 1?

fixed

cool

[Another]
00:54:521 (3,4,5) - the stack could be a bit hard to read. Maybe unstack?

Changed pattern from a different mod

cool



Really fun maps and I hope you find this even a little bit helpful lol >.>
Thank you for the good design suggestions!
Good luck with the mapset!

Hey! M4M here. Sorry for the long delay, pinataman. Don't worry about it. Thanks for the mod!
Well, here's my mod:

General:
Uncheck “Widescreen support” in all your diffs since you don’t have a storyboard. doneUse a BG with a resolution of 1366X768. I managed to fix your current background image.
http://puu.sh/eM6Nt/5b1530a934.jpg thank you!!!Add these two sound files to the song’s folder to silence those annoying sliderslides.
http://puu.sh/eM6YH/d0a4dd53c6.wav
http://puu.sh/eM71V/e3854afb5b.wav awesome, added!!

Easy:
00:13:428 (3) – This slider may be too low, since part of it is completely off the screen. Maybe do this: - woops, moved earlier notes to keep pattern
00:25:615 (1) – I think this wave shape looks better. - Okay, changed
00:41:553 (4) – Move this slider upwards to avoid an overlap with 00:39:678 (3) – okay, changed
00:42:803 (5) – Add new combo here and remove new combo here: 00:43:115 (1) – I think a new combo should start at the point where kiai begins. - Moved kiai onto current NC
00:54:365 (3) – I think something like this will work better to avoid that big overlap with 00:52:803 (3) – stacked the end on 3. Hopefully the stack doesn't hide the reverse arrow, it didn't look like it did.
01:02:803 (6) – Rather place this circle here: X:336 Y:116 for better flow. - Moved to 370, 189 to keep the idea
01:05:303 (2) – This wave shape looks messy. Rather try something like this: - fixed
01:07:803 (2) – Same here. Try to follow my above suggestion. - Done
01:14:677 (2) – Do this: - changed to a wave slider to keep the initial curve at the start
01:20:146 (2) – Also fix this slidershape like in my previous suggestions -fixed
01:24:052 (5) – Also, rather start the new combo where kiai begins – moved kiai
01:39:365 (1,3) – Fix these wave shapes – Hope they are to your liking!
02:04:053 (6) – Add new combo here and remove new combo here: 02:04:678 (1) – sorry I'm stubborn. Ideally NC would go here 02:04:365 - , but since it can't, I'd rather be consistent with the rest of the map where it includes the downbeat in the old combo.02:20:303 (1) – It sounds to me as if the spinner should end here: 02:21:396 – There is a drum in the song where the spinner ends now, and I think before it is build up to it. As such, I think the spinner, and especially the hitfinish, sounds better where it is

Normal:
00:31:396 (3) – Ctrl+H? - no, I like the flow as is
00:56:553 (3,4,5,6,7) – I think a half circle shape here will look better. - I made 00:57:178 (5,6,7) - be a half circle but kept the zig-zag on 3,4,5 for imo better flow
01:00:303 (1,2) – Make a blanket here. - We lose the stack on 00:59:990 (4,3) - , but this is probably a better change
01:02:803 (7) – Place this circle here: X:184 Y:148 to complete the flower shape. - I like the flow as is, and if we're arguing aesthetics, then it's a big dipper kind of pattern, which I think looks fine, and I used a 72 degree angle to keep similar shape of it.
01:18:271 (5) – Rather do this: - I think the current flow emphasizes the repetitiveness of the rhythm better.
01:42:803 (3,4,5,6,7) – Make a half circle shape with these circles as well – okay, I think it works here
01:56:084 (5,6) – Change these two circles into a slider instead. - let me think about it
01:57:490 (3,4) - ^01:58:584 (6,7) - ^02:01:084 (5,6) - ^02:02:490 (3,4) - ^02:11:240 (4,5) – I think it will be better if you place these like this: - I like the idea I had, so I made the angle a lot less sharp to make it feel smoother like the flow you suggested.
02:20:303 (1) – I think the spinner should rather end here: 02:21:396 – same as in easy

Hard:
00:11:240 (3) – Do this: - I'm not sure what the reason is. I think it looks and plays fine as is

Picture

Stack 00:11:240 (3) – on 00:10:615 (1) – 00:15:615 (1,2,3) – Make sure the distance between these circles are the same. - Is this a design issue? I feel like the jump looks fine and plays better than reducing the jump.

Picture

00:42:178 (8) – Place this circle here to make a triangle shape with 00:41:396 (5,7) – Right now it has a trapezoid shape with 3, which I think looks fine.

Picture

01:54:365 (2) – Ctrl+G – I like the flow as is

Overall, good mapset. Just requires a bit more improvement though.
Good Luck!

Thank you so much for a really good mod!

1. Cool song but why Speed Ver
2. Oh and add more tags

1. 00:35:303 (x) - This really needs a note here, fits very well with the music
2. 01:16:553 (x) - ^
3. 01:28:428 (4) - Change the direction for this slider, like this

1. 01:42:803 (3,4,5,6,7) - This sounds totally off, move these notes in the white tick one by one (I'll hope this is not intentional)
2. 02:11:396 (5) - Not necessary putting a finish here, with a finish in (4) sounds good

1. 00:16:240 (3) - This note looks a bit close from (1), move this note in x:152, y:124
2. 00:27:803 (7) - Suggestion, try this, here is the code x:271, y:143

1. 00:09:053 (2) - Just a suggestion, why you don't make this slider like (1) 00:08:115?
2. 01:02:490 (4) - I would like to see a good pattern here, copy-paste (1) 01:01:553 and move here like the
   photo

1. Nothing to say

General

1. Cool song but why Speed Ver – Hopefully the title is okay. I chose to speed it up because the faster song makes it more peppy (heh) and more suitable for osu. Yes, I could leave it as is and rely on DT for anyone trying to be peppy, but I mapped with the faster version in mind, so I feel it fits better. I thought half-time would be okay for people who wanted the normal version, but the audio quality is kind of poor now that I listen to it. Overall, I am a no mod guy, so I mapped a no mod version of a song I liked.
2. Oh and add more tags – Would if I knew what to add. Should I add 90's music when it was actually released in 2000? Does this really relate to anything? Is it okay to mention DDR even though this isn't the DDR song? Do I mention the people in the band by name? All of these seem unnecessary and more like it's adding tags for the sake of having tags.

Easy

1. 00:35:303 (x) - This really needs a note here, fits very well with the music – sounds good, added
2. 01:16:553 (x) - ^ – sounds good, added
3. 01:28:428 (4) - Change the direction for this slider, like this – consider a pattern like this http://puu.sh/eVhKZ/77dac9d3f3.jpg . Is the direction/flow poor? Maybe, but maybe not in the right context. In a vacuum I would probably agree your pattern looks and plays better, but deviating from the norm works well here, and I like the slider like this. If the consensus is that Easy players like your slider better, I'll change it, so we'll see

Normal

1. 01:42:803 (3,4,5,6,7) - This sounds totally off, move these notes in the white tick one by one (I'll hope this is not intentional) – woops, messed up while editing this section, fixed.
2. 02:11:396 (5) - Not necessary putting a finish here, with a finish in (4) sounds good – removed both finishes to fit better with the rest. Good catch.

Hard

1. 00:16:240 (3) - This note looks a bit close from (1), move this note in x:152, y:124 – 3rd time this pattern got mentioned. The jump into 3 under your pattern feels rather large, so for pacing/flow I like I as is. I'm trying, but I can't agree that there is a design issue with this pattern.
2. 00:27:803 (7) - Suggestion, try this, here is the code x:271, y:143 – now that you point it out, I want to change it so it looks better, but I want to keep the flow of going down into 1 instead of going up into 1 then going back down with the 1 slider. After working with some folks from modhelp, I think it looks better than before while still retaining the same flow.

Insane

1. 00:09:053 (2) - Just a suggestion, why you don't make this slider like (1) 00:08:115? – Because 00:09:053 (2) – has a slight release of energy, so I think where a contorted slider like 1 stifled the energy, 2 does a good job of making the lyric exciting by being a smooth curve.
2. 01:02:490 (4) - I would like to see a good pattern here, copy-paste (1) 01:01:553 and move here like the
   photo – I think the suggestion has an awkward flow. 01:02:178 (3) – has a slight increase in energy, and 4 increases the energy slightly more. With your suggestion, the jump into 4 is small and has anti-flow, which I don't think reflects this release of energy well. If we were adhering to the pattern strictly, it might need to look like http://puu.sh/eVjkd/6e2d057b0d.jpg , but that has no release of energy like mentioned above, so I don't want to value that design over the better flow. By deviating from this pattern at 3 with a slightly larger jump, we get the sense that this pattern is different/more energetic, which I think goes well with the current slider of 4 by being curved with 3.

1. Nothing to say

Cool mapset, good luck – thanks for the mod, really appreciate it!

1. 02:07:334 (3,4,5) - Could make a double blanket with a triangle here, not necessary though
   
   SPOILER

   
2. 02:16:865 (2) - Blanket with 02:17:803 (1)
3. 02:17:177 (3) - Should be brought down a little bit, 02:17:490 (4) seems kind of far from the rest
4. 02:21:396 (2,3,4) - I would just turn these into a reverse slider, a triple at the end on a hard feels kind of pointless and random, especially since the map starts coming to a slowdown on 02:20:303 (1) making it even feel more random

1. 00:22:490 (5) - NC?
2. 00:42:490 (9) - ^
3. 01:12:490 (4) - Should have a bit more space from the head of 01:12:178 (3), move to around 208|220
4. 01:23:740 (9) - NC?
5. 01:55:772 (3) - Could curve to make a blanket with 01:56:084 (4)
