Pretty helpful mod, you usually give the reason behind each change (unless it's a glaring careless mistake), which helps me (and especially other new mappers) to understand why things are done this way. Some modders can go like "just change this, nuff said", which can be very confusing to mappers if the subject at hand is controversial like overmapping. Keep it up!

Hey, Mod4Mod here, from my queue.

I think the HP should be lowered given that this is a Marathon length map, you have a smaller than average CS, and that the lengths of your combos are fairly long. Either that or reduce the length of the combos and use CS4.

- 00:35:250 (1) - Personally, I think circular blankets look better than parabolic ones, but it's up to you I guess.
- 00:44:850 (1,2,3,4) - This feels somewhat repetetive. Change it up a bit if you can.
- 00:51:850 (3) - This blanket can be improved [00:51:400]. If you look from that timestamp, you can see how the blanket compares to the approach circle.
- 00:59:650 (8,9,10) - These would be better stacked in my opinion. It feels out of place that this is the only one in the combo where it isn't stacked, plus there is pretty much no flow here.
- 01:06:450 (7) - This blanket/bow can be improved [01:06:800].
- 01:24:050 (4) - Same as above [1:23:450].
- 01:27:250 (3,4,5,6) - This diamond formation can be improved. Use two triangles back to back.
- 02:21:650 (3) - This blanket can be improved [02:21:200].
- 02:23:050 (2) - Same as above [02:23:200].

- 03:47:250 (1,2) - Making these the same shape would look better I feel.
- 04:41:650 (1,2,3) - This kind of feels too linear; I would change it up a bit personally.
- 04:48:050 (1,2) - Double-repeating sliders like these are generally frowned upon, but they kind of work here given the low BPM. Keep these if you want though.
- 05:10:450 (1,2) - I woild avoid overlapping the slider tail if possible.
- 05:26:850 (2) - Move to (184:156) for a better blanket.
- 05:27:650 (4) - Same as above; move to (332:192).

- 07:30:450 (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - I would reduce the spacing of this stream, since it seems a little too large compared to how everything else in close proximity has been spaced.
- 07:53:650 (1) - This blanket can be improved [07:52:950].

Good luck
I should really get around to playing this game. I loved the third one, but I just haven't found the time >_<

But I'll be careful next time.

-Mo- wrote:

It should be fine; the player has a whole 1/1 time to notice that the slider tail is there, and that there's no repeat arrow.

But it is at (184:156) :<
I get your point though; it's changed now.
If you examine it closely enough it's actually still a few pixels off, but that's just plain nazi modding.

For 05:27:250 (3,4) I just (re-)copy/pasted (1,2) since they were supposed to be the same shape.

If you look closer it's not really "quite a big jump"; the distance between 03:13:450 (5,6) and 03:12:650 (3,4) is the same - 1.50x DS
03:12:650 (3,4) only seems closer because of sliders and stuff

Eh.. the offset doesn't sound right. Change it to 40 or lower, depending on how it sounds better.

It could be due to messing with the offset earlier, but anyway I'm pretty sure they're snapped now.

Do really want to use default combo colours? Just asking.

00:59:250 (8) - NC for better sectioning
01:08:850 (1,2,3,4,5) - this doesn't really look great, try using a bigger distance spacing
01:12:650 (7) - Ctrl + G + H + J shape would flow/move better from 01:12:450 (6)
01:16:650 (3,4,5) - straight pattern looks neater
02:33:650 (1,1) - if only this wasn't the only objects that stacked, this wouldn't look random and stick out since I expected more stacks for this portion of the song
03:56:850 (1,2) - flow here is not smooth and breaks movement
04:39:250 (4,5,6,7) - the inconsistency in the spacing between 04:39:250 (4,5) and 04:41:050 (5,6) is very odd, either keep them identical, or space between 04:39:250 (4,5) wider
04:43:250 (4) - NC, NC at 04:44:850 (1) isn't really that appropriate
04:46:450 (5) - NC
04:52:450 (5,1) - slight, but blanket can be better
05:18:950 (2,3,4,5) - this turn in the streams looks really really bad, adjust the stream please
05:45:650 (1) - finish on start of slider
06:06:450 (5) - I would say that the jump should be between 06:06:250 (4,5) rather than between 06:05:650 (2,3) - this would feel weirder while playing
06:46:850 (2,3,4,5,1) - too much backward action in the flow here, a few times is fine, but too many in succession doesn't make for a really comfortable movement in flow
07:18:250 (7) - NC here instead of 07:18:850 (1)

Flow is just lacking in parts, I think you should re-look and see through that there is more connecting flow and movement between the objects, too much anti-flow is used at parts

There is room for improvement here in the aspects of flow and sometimes shapes, Good Luck

They're not default combo colours; the difference is quite small, but they're there for a reason. Them looking a lot like the default colours is just a coincidence.
Though I might consider more combo colours in the future.

You mean (5) blanketing around (1) or (1) blanketing around (5)? I'll assume the latter since it's uglier.

Hi ~
M4M here.

1. 00:26:450 (2,3) - I don't think there is a particular reason to change the spacing here. Why not 1,00 like the other sliders ?
2. 00:34:050 (4) - I'd suggest to curve it more to the top. It'll make a better transition to 3 -> 4. I mean something like this http://puu.sh/d2tqz/1c11f2a660.png
   Also, there is a irregular spacing between 4 and 5.
3. 00:54:450 (1) - I think this slider can have a better shape. Let's try something like this http://puu.sh/d2tt2/0905ee4586.png ? if you do so, don't forget to restack and spacing.
4. 00:56:050 (1,2) - your 2 circles are symmetrical with y axe. Too keep the symmetry with a good spacing, I'd suggest to move this one 00:56:850 (3) - to x:112 y:192. It'll also make a perfect triangle. Also if you do so, don't forget to adjust the spacing on next patterns.
5. 01:00:850 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4) - I can't see any good reason to abuse triplet like this.
6. 01:07:250 (1) - It's a way too curved here http://puu.sh/d2tx3/363637a82a.png
7. 01:28:850 (4,5,6) - is there any reason to use an irregular spacing on a pattern which follow the same curve ? I think using a regular spacing for those 3 notes is better.
8. 01:34:250 (6,1) - Use the same spacing as those one 01:33:850 (4,5) - ? It'll make a better square.
9. 02:01:650 - 02:20:450 - For this part, I think using Normal as sampleset for each drum sound would be good.

Right so you basically want me to replace soft-hitnormal with normal-hitnormal?
Did just that, but I felt normal-hitnormal was quite loud and I couldn't hear soft-hitwhistle anymore so I used a custom quieter normal-hitnormal.

It pains me but I have to reject this. The new loop looks much too circular for my taste. I'd prefer something more teardrop-shaped. Also, it doesn't look very symmetrical to the naked eye. Sorry if you spent a lot of time making this
That being said, the current loop isn't perfect either. I'll tweak it to make it more perfect.
...painfully long time later...
Right, so I think I've reached the editor's limits. If anyone else complains about symmetry, go rotate this slider 54 degrees and check. Any more precision and I'll probably have to edit the .osu manually to set more decimal points.

It's supposed to create the effect of building up, but after you brought it up they do seem very out of place. Fixed; after all, the volume and rhythm changes should be enough.

Agreed and fixed, but I think 80% is a bit too loud and sudden. Can you settle for about ~60%?

"matt-likes-swords" = "kupo707" = Creator of Epic Battle Fantasy 4
http://epicbattlefantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Matt_Roszak

"EBF4" = Epic Battle Fantasy 4
Some people refer to the game via this acronym, so it's possible that it would get searched.

"HalcyonicFalconX" = "HFX" = "Phyrnna" = Halcyonic Falcon X, the composer
"HFX" is a simple abbreviation of the full name, which is occasionally used by others to refer to the composer.

"HalcyonicFalconX" (without spaces) is the name that the composer uses on Newgrounds and YouTube. It's highly likely that people interested would search this name (without spaces), so this tag is necessary for the map to turn up.

"Phyrnna" is the name that the composer uses to refer to herself (e.g. in posts etc.)

Third: Display epilepsy warning, 'cause of your bg changes with sb on.

The changes aren't very big; at most there is a 0.125 opacity change over the span of 1/2 a beat. There's no violent flashing lights or stuff like that, so I don't think the warning is necessary.
If more people complain, then I'll reconsider adding it in.

I think the HP should be lowered given that this is a Marathon length map, you have a smaller than average CS, and that the lengths of your combos are fairly long. Either that or reduce the length of the combos and use CS4.

Jumps, so keep the map not boring

Trying to go out with a bang here.
Or maybe that was a combobreak.
Anyway granted it is sloppy so I might change it soon.

I love the way you work with the hitsounds, although I dislike the fact that some sliders are pale and the same pattern is being used (CTRL+H, CTRL+J), your beatmap is great, good job and good luck!

Give me a day or two to consider. Chances are most likely yes but I just want to think it through first, to see if it makes sense.

True that it's fairly loud, but definitely not as loud as 03:39:250
Tell you what, I'll increase the volume to 45%. (Also increased at 07:31:250 )

Rotated 02:30:450 (1) by -10 degrees instead to get the same flow effect.

Thanks for modding!

hi there, mod from my queue!

General

1. background image should be 4:3 or 16:9 ratio = 1366x768px or 1024x768px
2. hitsounds seem overall a little quiet to me, but I'm not sure. consider inceasing volume by ~5-10% overall
3. combo colours are really bright, like waaaay too bright, imo. might be better to choose non-primary/-secondary colours.
   also, pure red blends with the background at some parts, it's better to avoid that
   example colours

   
   

   [Colours]
   Combo1 : 240,120,50
   Combo2 : 15,130,200
   Combo3 : 235,220,60
   Combo4 : 110,230,25

after first play: I have to admit that it feels very boring to play, cause it's just the same rhythm over and over again with little to no variety. I'm not saying it's bad, but you can improve it a lot by alternating rhythm, mapping to more beats in general and thinking of some more interesting patterns/slidershapes.
ofc I'll try to help you with what's listed below, but it might be a good idea to look at past ranked approved marathons and trying to figure out why they are so much fun to play.

1. 00:54:850 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - feels off, imo. the beat you're following is audiable on the blue ticks in-between too, so the breaks don't match. example of rhythm with more variation - http://puu.sh/da8BD/b6fae91c8c.png
2. 00:56:050 (1,2) - with the hectic 'atmosphere' provided by the previous pattern (no matter if it's the current one or the one I've shown as an example) just circles on white ticks feels empty. and there are ongoing sounds on the red ticks, so sliders match better here, I think
3. 01:16:950 (1,1) - the first spinner should end a tick earlier and the second one should start on the downbeat, cause the dominant sound the second spinner follows starts there.
4. 03:15:650 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - similar to what I mentioned above. the stream comes out of the blue and doesn't go well with the objects around this.
   first off, the sound it follows starts on the downbeat where 03:15:050 (5) - ends. so, imo, the stream should start there, too.
   if you don't want a stream that long, alternate the pattern similar to the example I gave above already. that most likely matches better with the diff, I think.
5. 03:21:650 (1,2) - similar to ^. the gap between 1+2 feels awkward, cause it's the same sound
6. 03:24:050 (2) - jumps feels off, there is no indicator for a jump, is there? I'd prefer if this were slightly closer to the prev object (maybe 2.0 DS instead of 2.9)
7. 03:24:850 - music gets louder here, shouldn't your hitsounds get louder, too?
8. 03:27:850 (4,1,2) - same about gap/stream as I mentioned already. I'm sure you can find a nice way to map these parts!
   //I'm lazy so I won'T point all of them out, but there are many parts where you only mapped part of a stream. check for yourself!
9. 03:31:850 (3,4,5) - stacks don't fit here, imo, cause the music's so lively and having this stacked and the following, too (03:32:650 (6,7,1,2,3,4) - ) is boring to play. please unstack them!
10. 03:36:450 (2,3) - jumps seems very exaggerated, it doesn't fit the monotonous melody. move 3+4 closer to 1+2
11. 03:53:450 (8,9,1) - why anti-jumps here? you stacked this normally before. o:
    (you don't have to change this, but it looks a bit off compared to the previous)
12. 04:09:650 (1) - wow, the break after this is WAY to long. I really wouldn't wanna play a map where I don't have anything to do for 30 seconds. breaks are for resting shortly, for re-adjusting aim and maybe for stretching your fingers for half a second. this overdoes it. :n
    imo, you should start mapping at 04:28:850, it's still 20 seconds, but that's better than 30.. and the organ (? sounds to me like an organ, might be wrong, Idk. anyway -) starts there, so it's a good point to end the break.
13. 04:36:850 (1,2) - and the following objects don't fit the melody, I think. the violin is more dominant than the other instruments, so you should stick to that. that would look more like this: http://puu.sh/da9Yr/fb429e2184.png and so on.
    I'd recommend to remap this short part. :n
14. 05:21:650 (1,2) - plays better when unstacked, imo
15. 06:08:050 (1,2,3) - music doesn't slow down, so the anti-jumps don't fit. use regular spacing?
16. 07:21:650 (1) - ctrl+g this for better flow

Sorry, I'm not experienced with marathons and harder difficulties, so the mod is rather short. Hope I was of some help, tho. :n
Good luck!

Not sure sure what you're trying to bring across here. You want me to map the stream, or not map the stream?
In any case, I've reworked these portions, so hopefully they're better now.

Having a spinner end on the blue tick feels strange. I would prefer to have the hitsound on the downbeat. Since the second spinner start is weak and doesn't have any hitsound, I'll have to say no to this.

Not quite sure how to explain this one. But you can see how the sound here is 2/1, where most of the other parts are at least 1/1 and above.

The slider size don't fit how the song goes, adjust to 4.5
01:33:250 (2) - Reposition this (will overlap when CS is adjusted)
You may need to adjust other slider blankets...
Also, find a custom hitclap. (Default feels too weird for me)

Thanks for modding!

Heyho o/
Finally found some time to mod this as I promised
No KDs you gave me some already.
So let's start right away

Godcat
My first impression was that you're reusing quite many sliders which makes the map feel a little uncreative despite the fact that you do have many good patterns. (00:28:850 (1,2) - 00:34:050 (4,1) - 00:40:050 (3,1) - to name a few at the beginning opposed to 00:38:450 (1,2) - 00:42:450 (2,3,4,5,1) - etc)
Also CS5 makes the map feel a little empty due to the smaller size of sliders and circles so never increase AR any further pls HP and OD settings are fine. The ending is quite harsh compared the the rest of the map so I'm gonna try to give ideas how to balance this out.
You really chose a difficult song to map due to the lack of 1/2 at some points

Okay let's get this modded:
00:48:050 - I expected an additional beat right before the spinner here.
00:54:850 (2,3,4,5) - The 2 repeats are a bit unexpected and doesn't play that nice. What do you think about this? The guitar's tone is held so there's room to map to the background.
01:00:450 - Same goes here. My idea:
01:09:650 (3,4,5,6,7,1) - This could be a bit smoother (maybe put a jump?)
01:14:050 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - How about this?01:15:850 - Add beat
02:35:250 (1) - Why NC here?
02:42:650 - + 02:43:050 - Add beats
03:17:450 - ^
03:22:050 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Listen closely here and you can hear that in the background it's not just a plain stream rather it's a doubles pattern here. (Similar to what i stated above). 03:28:350 - Add beat
03:34:450 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - This?03:52:650 (4,5,6,7) - Even out the spacing here to something 1,6x-ish
04:01:650 (1,2,3,4,5) - Make a perfect pentagon out of these. They almost look like one so why not making it perfect?
04:30:850 (2,4) - Remove
04:36:850 (1) - Remove NC
05:05:450 - Add beat
05:32:450 (4) - These are too squeezed together which makes them look ugly. Spread them out abit more
05:35:450 - ^
(Honestly I think that the part between 2nd and 3rd break is well done. Keep going like this )
07:06:850 (4,5,1) - This is not flowing so well. Put 5 to one of the sides of the slider but putting it on the trail causes weird movement imo.
07:17:450 (2,3,4) - Why such a low spacing? Better spread these out a bit more.
07:30:450 (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - o.o
07:58:450 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1) - This is quite extreme as the very final pattern imo (Playable though)

Rethink of your spacing at some points, it doesn't make sense sometimes when you put the beats to close to each other. Besides, I see much good work here compared to my first look especially towards the end. Keep going and good luck

agreed, but it's hard to find a HFX song that isn't too repetitive and doesn't have too much 1/1

Unless I'm not listening closely enough, I do hear a sound effect every 1/4 beat, which is why I made a stream here.
But what you suggested is pretty good too, so I'll do that.

It's meant to be the very final pattern, and it's meant to be quite extreme.
If more people complain then I'll nerf it, but I'll leave it for now.

Rethink of your spacing at some points, it doesn't make sense sometimes when you put the beats to close to each other. Besides, I see much good work here compared to my first look especially towards the end. Keep going and good luck

Will keep that in mind.

I prefer my hitsounds to follow a more consistent pattern (except maybe when accenting some really unique part). If I add them on those notes only, it feels quite strange and out of place.

That's strange; previous modders tell me to up the volume and you're saying the opposite. I'll leave it as it is for now, but if the majority of modders prefers to reduce hitsound volume then I'll do it.

4anke wrote:

04:36:050 - you can't use the vol under 20%,the rule isn‘t be allow

As far as I know the only thing unrankable about hitsounds is a completely silent hit. Lowered volume is still fine as long as it's still audible to a reasonable extent.

4anke wrote:

Unsnapped green line at: 04:54:475 - snap to 04:54:450 ,05:20:075 - snap to 05:20:050

There's already a green line at 04:54:450 (which gives a volume increase for the finish hit) and the line at 04:54:475 is to bring it back down to normal volume. You might have missed it because it's hidden below the blue bookmark line, sorry D:

Same goes for 05:20:075

Spinner will look very lazy. I mapped that part with sliders and stuff.

Side note to self: This is turning into quite the drain section :/

4anke wrote:

02:42:650 (2,3,4) - why there are too close?

I don't see any better way to put them without overhauling all the notes. Should be perfectly readable by my reckoning, the previous notes don't suggest any 1/4s and even then there's the whole 2/1 slider to notice it and prepare.

4anke wrote:

As mentioned, I'll look further into this issue. (I never seem to get it right D:)

Agreed, DarkBattle and HolyBattle are much lower quality. But I can't find anything better D:

Sounds fine to me. And it'll be really inconsistent if I removed the whistle on just that note.

I've lost count of the number of people commenting on this slider. What exactly is wrong with it? The blankets and teardrop are as perfect as they can be.

Anyway let's just hope that people don't tear their hair out over missing their FC because of this.


Thanks for modding!

Ohh a marathon, I like modding these.

[General]

-An additional red combo colour would be nice, since you have one combo colour for each of the people's hair there + the little blue thing. Just a suggestion though.
-Countdown is unnecesary I believe

[Godcat]

00:28:850 (1) - Feel better to play if you move it a bit down like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/2365977. I'm also pretty sure having 3 return long sliders on a hard/insane diff is both unnecesary and confusing, maybe delete one return and add a note at both of these sliders?
00:34:050 (4) - This slider creates a problem with hitsounds. You see, in order to follow the music a lot better, you should move it to 00:34:450 - , so it sounds well with the whistles and the music. Like this: http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/2365985. Then delete the whistle from its end and the clap from its start, leaving just the whistle throughout the sliderslide.
00:36:850 (3) - Could be more curved?http://puu.sh/dCnH6/fb20c6a4dd.jpg
00:35:250 (1) - Delete whistle from end because of the same as that suggestion vvvvvv below
00:42:450 (2) - Delete whistle. You see, you are using whistles to follow the... whatever that is in the music, the main melody. Here there is none.
00:43:250 (3) - Also delete whistle from the end
00:55:250 (6) - Feels really uncomfy while playing. Look: http://puu.sh/dCnQA/9807dc8ad7.jpg /// but something like this feels good http://puu.sh/dCnWD/2725636d09.jpg
00:56:850 (3,4,5) - I know you wanted to stack (3) with (1) and changing this would fuck it up buuuut... it feels weird, specially since it's a triplet: http://puu.sh/dCo2O/76b4bba0f2.jpg . What I think you can do here is this, and you would leave (5) stacked under (1): http://puu.sh/dCo9M/519dd32aaf.jpg
00:58:050 (2) - Maybe it's too close to (1)?
01:03:950 (9) - Move a bit down http://puu.sh/dCodq/0911089014.jpg
01:10:350 (7) - This one too, to x144 y56
01:12:850 (3) - I don't really like this shape, considering it's the first red-dot-shape you've got here and creates weird looks with 01:12:050 (1) - .
01:15:050 (10) - http://puu.sh/dComP/27aa883aac.jpg ?
01:16:050 (3) - http://puu.sh/dCop2/758c20d88f.jpg ? of course move the triplet afterwards
01:20:250 (1) - I think soft hitsounds with a normal hitsound at every snare the drum has (atm those snares are normal claps) would sound better. Use sounds samples where the claps are the template's skin normal-hitnormal. (up to 01:47:250 (1) - )
01:22:450 (5) - Improve the flow http://puu.sh/dCouU/6692584d15.jpg
01:26:650 (2) - Should move to the left for more consistency with the previous slider, look it looks better: http://puu.sh/dCoxv/fea9387793.jpg
01:34:450 (1) - Improve flow http://puu.sh/dCoBW/00fadc138e.jpg Then copypaste for (4)
01:47:250 (1) - Unnecesary whistle?
01:47:850 (6) - Would play better with the music if you put 2 notes instead of a slider... and make em jumpy too
02:05:650 (2) - Make it just straight? The next 2 sliders are okay because they are twins, but this one feels out of place
Also you should move 02:07:250 (4) - To the right. Sure, it's DS'ed like you have it now, but sliders don't work like notes. you see, nobody moves up til the end of the slider if said slider is short, instead you leave the cursor somewhere like.. midway through the slider. That midway point is what you should consider the actual "note" the slider represents in terms of spacing. This is what me, you and everyone else will do while playing: http://puu.sh/dCoYb/8a2a5c3b4e.jpg . As you can see, the red line represents the cursor movement, and you will have to move the cursor faster from (2) to (3) than from (3) to (4). I know I just described a counter-intuitive concept, but you gotta think outside the editor, the map is for playing. Try to playtest it and you'll see. Catch me in-game for further discussion on this topic so I can explain myself better.
02:01:650 (1) - Btw are normal hitsounds this loud necessary here? Maybe make em a bit lower?
02:25:650 (1) - I don't really like the shape but I guess it is not something that bad, you can either change it to a normal curved shape or leave it like this. Btw you finally used the soft hitsounds here, I like it.
02:27:850 (2) - Confusing spacing?
02:36:850 (1,1) - Better blanket http://puu.sh/dCpdM/c95f786b06.jpg
02:42:650 (2) - If you make an antijump here, also make it in the previous pattern, since the music does the same thing, I see no reason for an antijump here but not before
03:07:250 (3,4) - http://puu.sh/dCpm9/2450d3524d.jpg or something like that?
03:15:650 (2) - I'd move the end to x392 y162
03:20:450 (1) - While playtesting, this note kinda fucked me up because of the curve it creates, the player thinks it's a straight line with (9)-(1)-(2) like you have been doing before.
03:33:650 (4,5,1) - Something like this flows much better http://puu.sh/dCpyx/0e98a13241.jpg
03:40:850 (1) - Move closer to (7), the spacing is unconsistent with the rest of the stream, this happened because of the SV change but it the spacing on this note should change
03:48:050 (3,4,5,6) - I'd rotate this triangle so it flows better with the next slider: http://puu.sh/dCpEp/f937e16910.jpg
04:03:050 (7) - Move to x372 y178 for consistent spacing
04:08:050 (1,2,3,4,5) - Yeah this is super uncomfy to play
04:48:050 (1) - Again 2 repeat sliders :/
05:02:050 (3) - I'm pretty sure stacking the repeat under another object is borderline unrankeable
05:08:050 (2) - Move the first dot a bit to the left, then copypaste for the next one http://puu.sh/dCpQn/24c7d36cdb.jpg
05:11:250 (2) - Don't completely overlap slider's ends please
06:04:050 (2,3,1) - Weird flow http://puu.sh/dCq6Y/1805fdefd8.jpg /// suggestion http://puu.sh/dCqa9/0049df0ee0.jpg or something like that
07:04:050 (1,2) - This empty space here is unexpected and might fuck up some players, maybe fill it with a slider from 07:04:050 (1) - to 07:04:450 -
07:10:450 (1) - Move a bit closer to 3 for distance consistency
07:20:050 (1) - check distance snap and here too 07:19:850 (4) -
07:21:650 (1,2,3) - Ugly flow http://puu.sh/dCqqs/eb79cc2b48.jpg fix like this : http://puu.sh/dCqtE/079cb865ab.jpg
07:30:450 (5) - You sure it's necesary to have this stream so spaced?
07:58:450 (1) - I know you wanted to make a "great finale" sort of jump but it's reaaaaaaaally uncomfy to play, most of the times the player will miss (3) and (5) because of the angles they make. Something star shaped might be a lot better.

Nothing else to say, nice job, I don't really like your hitsounds though, most of the times I wouldn't have used normal samples and normal whistles but it's up to you.
Good luuuuuuck :3

Sorry my mod took so long :/
But here it is!
And like every mod, these are just suggestions, so ignore them or correct me, if you think I'm wrong with something.

• Godcat
  
  I think the countdown isn't necessary.
  02:25:250 (3) - If you move that to X344 Y256 it would blanket with - 02:23:650 (4)
  02:42:650 (2,3,4) - Why are these so close. It could be confusing if the distance is the same as these - 02:46:050 (4,5,6,7)

This map is great! I didn't found anything to criticize! Take this! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ ~`☆

finally found some time to read through all this

Thanks for modding, both of you! Now, to write one of my longest posts ever

The spacing problem is probably due to grid snap not liking my face. (0.99x compared to 1.03x, which might be quite significant)
Fixed it anyway

I (intentionally) reduced the spacing here, because the music after it is all quiet and stuff. 04:09:650 itself doesn't even have a drum hit or anything, so it's a really weak note. It'll be awkward to have a big jump, then not have anything significant at the end of the big jump.

In terms of flow, I have improved the flow from (2) to (3) and (5) to (6).
In terms of distance, however, I think it's better as it is currently. I'd prefer the distance overall in 01:09:650 (3,4,5,6) to be increasing, or at least nondecreasing. In your suggestion, the distance from (5) to (6) is ~1.50x, which is a drop from the 2.00x in the previous notes.

So basically, apart from some flow improvements, the pattern is mostly the same.

Rotating selection around -60 degrees will make the repeat arrow covered under 02:45:250 (2) , which will cause much hate and unrankability.
Moving it to x:332 y:324 will cause a (2x spacing) jump, which isn't that justified given that 02:45:450 is a fairly weak note.

So, not much change here.

I'll still end the map at 08:00:050 - after the 'bang' that is 07:58:450 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1)
Furthermore, I don't think anyone will want go through 30 seconds of annoying 2/1 notes just to pass/fc the map, after completing the rest of it. I think just listening + the BG is sufficient to give the "epilogue feel", and players can skip to the scores once they've had enough.

The epilogue BG is intended to last until the end of the song, replacing the default BG completely. The fade out at the last 4 measures is to prevent it from suddenly disappearing, if anyone cares to listen that far.



By the way, it's great that you elaborate in your mod, so mappers will understand the rationale behind suggestions. Giving the coordinates for each note is also very helpful. Keep it up.

Yes, it's needed. Try looking for Crystalis Fantasia with "halcyonicfalconx" (without the spaces). I included this as a tag because people may write the artist name either way, but this is the 'more correct' one of the two.

Won't take this, sadly.
Everywhere else, NCs are added on (or immediately after) every downbeat, or every other downbeat in slower sections. Adding NCs here would break the consistency, and I think that might affect quality.
Also, I don't really see how (1,1,1) would be more readable than (4,5,1). Wouldn't the combo numbers form a bit of a visual guide, improving readability?

Uhh guys, sorry to spoil the party but I found a very small problem in the map.

06:02:450 (2) - Missing whistle on slider end. This really spoils the consistency of the hitsounds.


I have no idea how this managed to get past everyone, but that doesn't change the fact that the problem's there. I'll contact a QAT to get this fixed. Yes, that most probably means a disqualification. Hopefully that won't affect the BATs' BAT score too much, I really don't want this to cost them their BATship D:


Finally, one last apology to the players that have their scores wiped (if there's really no way other than a DQ). That's one of the risks of playing maps in Qualified status, and as much as I'd like to avoid it, it has to be done.

I'll try my best to get this re-qualified by the end of this week.

tell me when you fix it

No problem Your Good Self, you can ask for me a recheck too :3

If my first flame is on a disqualified map, does it count as my approval virginity?

I wonder if self-DQ will be counted in the BAT score...
