Add the preview point...

Go to the .osu files of each diff and replace this line:

PreviewTime: -1

with this:

PreviewTime: 3378

Easy & Normal:
Seems to be a large difficulty jump near the end.

Hard:
00:08:192: The slider seems to come too soon after the hitcircle in the Editor. Playing it, it doesn't seem to be a problem though. So no problems.

Insane:
Also no problems.

Specify where?

Bump to prevent it from getting graved. Get it ranked, dude D:

Woo now Hybrid's Ranked I can put this at the top of my priorities

I'll update it and probably move to pending soon.

Finally! And rename my diff to NoHItter's Easy

Done

[General]

1. Almost all the tags you used are already in other fields... so they're useless. Remove them.
2. Remove OST from the source.

[Skin]

1. Yes, it's a pretty good skin, but it'd be better if you set it as the preferred skin at the Storyboarding tab in Song Setup. You can add a link to your first post so people know where to download.

[Timing]

1. BPM: 161.95
2. Offset: 3,390
   
   This is the closest I get, however it might still need corrections. The one you're using right now is definitely too early though.

[NoHItter's Easy]

1. All the other difficulties don't have Kiai... remove it?

00:22:655 (2,1) - You can't see the reverse arrow in (1) because the hitburst of (2) covers it... soo it's pretty much a hidden reverse arrow.

[Normal]

1. The last spinner is awkward, IMO. =<

[Hard]

1. The last spinner is awkward, IMO. =<

00:33:007 (1 and on) - Pretty weird to catch at first play.

[Insane]

1. The last spinner is awkward, IMO. =<

00:04:859 (1) - Hmm, yes, this is one of the only streams, and it's pretty much out of place. Don't overmap the song...
00:07:822 (1) - ^

~ ~ ~

Sorry to say it, but I don't like how you mixed claps and whistles in this song. They need a rework, at least to me. ;/
Some things to look into, but I guess your star will have to wait a bit. ;/

Done. You just need to adjust the timing.

I have never seen a map do that, lol. I doubt anybody would download the skin to be honest. I'd rather improve the skin (As I am at this moment) than not have it on the map.

I'm not quite sure how to fix the awkward spinners, perhaps by making the end silent? Or removing them entirely?

I'm fixing everything else now though

Did you resnap notes on Easy?

Oh, I think I forgot, I'll fix that now.

NoHitter's Easy
00:03:389 (1) - flip it vertically

Normal
01:28:563 (1,2) - new combo on 2nd, remove previous new combo
01:32:267 (3,1) - new combo on 3rd, no new combo on 1st
01:37:452 (1,2) - whistle here
01:40:415 (1,2) - ^
01:58:969 (spinner) - this spinner isn't snapped... (plus, remove hitsounds's volume from it)

Hard
00:21:155 (1,2,3,4) - try to use soft clap instead of nomal ones here...
00:23:748 (1,2,3,4) - ^
00:44:859 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3) - ^
01:58:933 (spinner) - again, snap this slider (and remove its hitsounds's volume from the end)

Insane
[General] In this song, some beat streams can make this Insane mode more challenging and fun to play, so... why don't you try to add some of them?
01:58:981 (spinner) - see other modes...

Well, exept NoHitter's mode, all modes aren't resnapped, so remember to resnap all beats!
After this, I can star this curious and storyboarded example of good mapping.

easy:
00:27:101 (1) - extend to next white tick

normal:
has a different offset than the other 3 change and resnap
has the same overall diff/hp drain as easy might want to change that

hard:
00:21:173 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I don't really like this pattern as it makes some of the repeats slightly hidden so change?
00:33:028 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3) - this part sounds kinda odd (being in 1/3) but I guess its ok
all the claps on the short repeating sliders got kinda annoying after a while

Insane:
00:06:353 (1,2,3,4) - dont like spacing of this
need hitsounds between 00:30:064 (1) and 00:47:477 (1)
I prefer where this spinner ends to the rest of them might want to change them all to this?

In general the 1/3 parts sound kind of awkward in alot of places but thats just my opinion
In some places hitsounds are overused (especially on sliders)

Wow tons of mods ^^
Well i try to find some stuff


This maybe sounds totally wrong but why do you snap normal in 1/2 ? Sounds kinda off for me
(Easy)
Fine i think

(Normal)
00:35:992 (5) New Combo?
00:36:733 (1) Remove new Combo if you did ^
01:24:896 (1-3) Maybe change the spacing?

Sounds fine but too much hitsounds and too high hitsound volume i think.

(Insane)
Same for this.. I want to listen to the song

Great work on Skin/Storyboard and a good map too .. ~star

NoHItter's Easy
00:14:504 (4) - Finish instead of whistle?
00:34:510 (3) - on the first 'return', whistle instead of clap
00:37:474 (3) - ^
01:21:932 (1) - Is this a jump?
01:44:161 (1,1) - I think you should make the second slider a reverted copy of the first slider

Normal
Why 1/3? you used only 1/1
00:23:766 (x) - add beat here with whistle
00:25:619 (3) - whistle at very end

Great map, star(ite lol)

Hi hi!

Here are some suggestions for your map. Of course you don't have to change them if you don't agree with me

~All Diffs~
- That storyboard is so cool xD
- Your hit300 pictures are too big. They make so hard to see overlapping/nearby circles, specially on [Insane]. Please make them smaller x.x
- Section-fail is okay, but why don't you use the opposite image of the one you have as section-pass? (I mean the *facepalm* Layton when you fail a puzzle ) I think that would fit better
- Add NoHItter to Tags.
- Grey Hitcircles are so hard to read sometimes... And so annoying on TAG...

~NoHItter's Easy~
01:50:089 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Hard to read for an Easy diff oxo

~Normal~
00:38:215 (4,1,2,3) - This looks so ugly... Let's see:
00:38:215 (4) - Make this a horizontal reflection of (2)
00:38:956 (1) - Overlap the beggining with (4) and then move the finish point to overlap (3) of this combo.
00:40:808 (2) - Rotate 90º Anticlockwise, overlap with (1)'s end and add a repeat.
00:41:549 (3) - Delete this note.
01:37:493 (1,2) - Center them properly (nazi D:!)

~Hard~
01:17:486 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Ahhh I loved this *-*
No problems! well done

~Insane~
00:20:679 (2) - Overlap with (7).
00:33:028 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This is a total nightmare to read x_x...
00:36:733 (3) - Same as above, these overlappings are so ugly and hard to read.
00:44:143 (3) - Allign with (2)
01:11:065 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2) - This sounds so so weird...

I personally don't like the 1/3 parts, they don't fit the song imo, but except that I like the map, good job!! Here's a coin for you!

NoHItter's easy

01:41:159 - The slider hitsounds are kind of annoying.

Other than that, everything seems fine.

[Tags]
Maybe add DS and some other tags

[Easy]


[Normal]
Make the Stack leniency higher so 00:18:209 (1,2,1) Doesn't look ugly

[Hard]
00:33:028 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - The 1/3 is just confusing and doesn't go with the song very well...

[Insane]
00:28:582 (3,4,5,6) - 1/3 is pretty stupid to use in a song that doesn't use it
00:47:477 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - 1/3 >.<
There is more 1/3 snap used in this song ....<.<

Everything is great except for those stupid 1/3.
*star*

I am sure the song should use 1/3, you can clearly hear it in the bits of the song where there are the repeating slider runs in insane. Idk if the people who disagree with it are hearing it differently or are morally opposed to 1/3 timing or something.

it should indeed be 1/3th

u can hear it clearly in the first 30 seconds of the sing (if u listen right)

i can't find anything wrong with this map

star from me

Everything here is definitely 1/3.

That's that dispute solved then

Good sutff I like Tomohito Nishiura stuff ^^

Insane:
00:06:353 (1,2,3,4) - make this straight? just to stay consistent with the other patterns
00:31:546 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - too much change of direction in a spaced out stream like this is lameee

Before I forget; Add my name to the tags.

Somehow every Professor Layton song makes me wanna go to sleep. Why is it that every one of these songs really lack volume >_>

Autostar since I'm lazing out on timing atm.

[NoHItter]
00:33:028 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - if possible make these sliders not touch each other.
Also feels like a Normal somewhat lol. Maybe it's probably because of that average OD or smth; just felt like Normal somehow even though it's not.

[Normal]
00:38:956 (1,2) - blind spot on the 2. Change pl0x.
00:46:736 (4,1) - these overlapping sliders don't look too well.
01:17:486 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - ...anti-spacing? (just a preferred suggestion though; it's because I felt the 1 was too near to the 3 in such a non-climactic part of the song)
01:29:342 (4) - if possible move this somewhere away from 2
01:53:053 (1,2) - preferably stack the heads. Do the same with the other ones like it after.

[Hard]
Lol at AIMod Nazi...
00:38:709 (12) - preferably if you can make the combo so that these things don't interrupt with the sliders of the next combo
01:10:077 (5) - I don't like how the slider is covering this.
01:27:860 (3) - make it so that it doesn't interrupt the sliders of the next combo
01:58:610 (2) - preferably end the map here (delete the spinner)

[Insane]
00:47:477 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - I find this part really unintuitive. I could sightread stuff until this part >_>

[General]
*The shadows on the top and bottom of section-fail.png are cut off and look sloppy.
*I think that sliderscorepoint.png would look better white rather than gray, but eh. =s
*Personally, I think that the sliderball hat should be rotated 90 degrees so that it slides on its sides rather than top-to-bottom, but that's just me. :S
*I don't think that fruit-plate.png needs to be included, but I'm not positive.
*Add "NoHItter" to the tags on ALL difficulties, please.

[NoHItter's Easy]
01:58:981 - Perhaps add a final note here in the center with a finish? ;3

[Normal]
00:17:468 (2,3,1) - I advise against overlapping notes and sliders like this, but I suppose it's fine.
00:38:956 (1,2) - ^ or hiding sliders like this, but again, it still looks okay.
00:46:736 (4,1) - ^ eh, I'll insist that you change this. You have a slightly confusing/overlapping slider overlapping another slider and it's just messy. =X
01:07:854 (2,3,4) - argh stop overlapping xp
01:13:041 (2,3,4) - ^
01:18:227 (3,1) - Move (1) farther away. You have the same spacing between the previous combo 1/2 as you do between the new combos 3/1, which is confusing.
01:19:709 (3,1) - ^
01:21:191 (3,1) - ^

[Hard]
00:03:390 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - I suggest removing the claps from 2, 5, and 8. It kinda makes the pattern sound a bit stale and overclapped. This goes for future claps in this diff and in other diffs where I think that claps may be overused. :< Also, please stack the duplet beats (i.e., 2,3 / 5,6 / 8,9)
00:05:118 (8,9,1) - Please don't overlap sliders.
00:06:600 (2,3) - stack
00:07:341 (5,6) - ^
00:08:082 (8,9) - ^
00:15:245 (1) - hidden under the hitburst from previous sliders
00:07:835 (7,8,9) - please don't overlap sliders
00:23:025 (2) - Don't hide sliders under other hitobjects; especially ones with repeats.
00:24:507 (2,3) - ^
00:25:989 (2) - ^
00:33:028 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - I suggest making this pattern into four repeating sliders, so that the next section of single beats will be EXPECTED, rather than random and confusing.
00:40:808 (2) - hidden
01:53:300 (2,3) - perhaps stack these and the ones that follow =X

[Insane]
00:03:390 (1,2,3,4) - I'd use a closer distance spacing for these and all other streams in this map.
01:58:981 (1) - How come this spinner isn't the same length as the other two diffs? I'd keep the same, but it's not super important.
00:11:417 (5,6) - don't overlap
00:14:010 (5,6) - ^
00:29:323 (4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - kinda clustery and hard to read. (the long blue ones after this are tricky too)
00:33:769 (3) - kinda hidden
00:34:510 (1) - ^
00:48:095 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - completely unexpected. I'd make these into two repeating sliders so that the next set is expected
01:45:643 (1) - too far from previous
*bleh, so streamy. Please make the distance spacing closer together orz

Eh, the spacing in that one part that I bitched about is fine. The approach circles come in so slowly that one would need to be paying zero attention in order to miss them. :S

*I'm a little bit more lenient on the triplet sliders in this diff, but still.. :
00:53:775 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - expected some hitsounds in this part (also after the break for quite a few phrases)
01:42:679 (1) - too far from previous

Besides those few comments, I think that this map is pretty solid. :I

First off, I'll say that I absolutely love the skin and SB that you used. I am very appealed by songs that put in extra effort to offer an extremely well done presentation of visual design such as this. Making a solid beatmap such as this along with that is an even harder and more respectable task. There's really nothing wrong with any of the difficulties; I found all of them to be fair to me and not misleading in any way, though I do have a few things to point out (They're just optional opinions):

~Hard~ (I love that question mark design at the end btw).

01:28:611 (1) - This slider looks a bit offset in position. (It sounds a bit pointless to point out since it's barely noticeable, but all your beatmaps are very neatly spaced and correctly arranged, so I figured I'd point that out).

~Insane~

01:11:075 (1) - This circle almost threw me off since it was a sudden ambush in pace, but you kinda expect these kind of things in one's hardest difficulty so I'm not particularly picky about it.

Other then that, I love this map in all it's entirety, and I want to see it ranked asap.

Sorry for having you update again, but I really wanted to fix something that looked ugly...

There seems to be some glitch or a messed up code causing the map to not automatically end after the final note. Please look into it.

Make sure the SB and map is in working order before having it checked again.

I think I fixed it, but I'm not totally sure what I did to fix it. Anyway, it appears to work now.

Don't know about that. Its still doing it for me after redownloading the map... even in Normal play mode.

Will try to check it. It's partially my SB after all.

edit: I don't have this problem and I cant find anything that might be wrong with the .osb. You broke something, whyme D:

I have no idea what's going on with this. I'm pretty sure it's an osu! bug as a few maps have been having problems since the last update and some people seem to be having this problem where others aren't.

I'll look into it further, I have a help and support topic posted about it so hopefully the issue will be adressed soon.

It works for me too.

[NoHItter's Easy]:

00:38:966 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Same here (On the first (2)), though...I think you can just make the first batch of sliders to the left and the second batch of sliders go to the right...You know, switch their directions up. xD
01:47:135 (1) - I love this pattern.

Edit: Fixed, should have a bubbled.

[General]

1. Woops, it seems that the BPM is not the same on all difficulties. You must fix (and maybe +5 to the offset while you're at it? :U).

[Skin]

1. Might I ask what is "default-comma.png, default-dot.png (and so on)" for? I thought the "default" font was only for hitcircle numbers, and I don't see how they are used on the map.
2. You must add an approach circle, even if it's just the default.

[All Difficulties]

1. On [Hard] I see you used soft at 00:21:183; why not on the other difficulties?

So yeah, shame that I need to pop this. Call me back when it's fixed.

Crap, forgot to tell you that you must add a spinner-approachcircle too.
And you need to resnap badly.

Try -8 (which would be 3,397)

Why didn't I check it before, you ask? Careless of me I guess. I had Frame Limiter off which causes my offsets to go all wrong :U
Larto agreed with me, by the way

I feel sad for this map

Can't you guys stop with the popping and put everything under one mod post.

I realize my last post said 1/3 when it should've said 1/6. That would explain some of the problems here. Sorry about that. :<

01:58:996 (1) - The map ends at a nicer point without this spinner.

[Normal]
00:43:787 (5,6,1,2,3) - It's an awkward transition into awkward mapping. These sliders have no reason to start on the off-beat.

[Hard]
This map could definitely use more consistency.
00:22:670 (1,2,3,4,1,2) - Why are the hitsounds different here and nowhere else?
00:33:043 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - Interesting snapping, but it seems just so random.
00:41:935 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Love this bit. I wish it were repeated somewhere else.

[Insane]
There's a lot of odd usage of 1/3 where it should be 1/6. And the sequences of single-repeat 1/6 sliders get boring after a while.
00:47:492 (1) - Really awkward transition.
01:54:550 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - This sequence is a mess.

What happened here

Well this turned out to be a major dissapointment.

The map is a major dissapontment

It was starting to piss me off, like, how shit it was, so I wasn't motivated to actually get it ranked

Go play my good maps

Eh it's alright
