00:15:901 (2,3) - I think the whistle hitsounds here sound weird
(ok so I'm noticing that you have whistles on a lot of sliders and I feel like it's being overused) Ok, fixed.
01:21:985 (4) - this slider looks a little strange to me, the shape is kinda meh LOL. I didn't know that I had this slider in this kind of shape. Fixed
01:30:421 (1) - I think the curve on this is a tad harsh cause of the song Fixed.
01:37:451 (4,5,1) - I would stack the two notes on the slider end Nope, sorry.
01:43:310 (3) - this feels weird cause you were using singles for triples and stuff till now and now it's a kick slider, I'd put singles to keep the map consistent
01:47:059 (2) - same thing maybe I had it on triples before, but I changed it into this, 'cause is better imo.
01:51:922 (1,2,3,1) - these notes aren't on any ticks at all, snap them onto the right ticks ( I looked in 1/8 and saw them on ticks there, it feels weird to me xD) I know, in this part, the timing of the song is irregular, I tried my best to do it like it is now.
01:58:308 (6) - same thing as before
02:15:414 (1) - it feels weird that in the other diff you mapped till the end and had this spinner later than this diff

Overall I like it but at the same time find this difficulty weird where it's kinda in between a normal and hard. The thing I said about the kick sliders I realize you started using them a couple times but I'd still say to make them singles.

Hope I helped some \(>w<)/ good luck with the map ^^ Thank you!

   I have some 1/4 rhythm suggestions but doubt it can be done with current mp3\timing, so you should take care about this first then ask me to recheck alright, we did irc mod

Checking the SB to see if it's ready!

Well one thing that's very noticeable is that that you haven't removed the background and because you cover it up with a black background the SB load skyrockets up to a constant 4.0x
If you follow this guide(t/55177) You can remove it and then SB in your background at the end instead. Also because the default background when it's removed is black you won't need black.png - Fixed.

It's also a good idea to remove the transparency on pj.png baka.png and diff.png - Fixed.

Some of your backgrounds are slightly misplaced. Like cutie002 is placed 319,236 in the SB. Look at the osb and fix so they are at 320,240. - I checked the osb and all the backgrounds are already set at 320,240


Yeah. these SB issues is a biit too much. I promise to re-bubble when you fixed them though.

1. Your timing is wrong, this is a simple timing song which has one red lines, bpm is 64, offset=328. The other timing points is useless. For 00:26:578 (1) -, though inst is off, but the main soundtrack and the vocal are fine so no need to add redlines. And for01:19:078 -, drum and vocals are actually at ticks but you added a timing point that made it complicated.
2. According to ranking criteria, There must not be any unnecessary transparency around storyboarded images, so crop and resize them as possible. 5.png, baka.png, diff.png and pj,png don’t meet this rule, please crop them.
3. We usually don’t use album name as source. Ranking criteria writes: Only use the Source field if the song comes from or was made famous by a video game, movie, or series.
   So please move “Shrek 2” to tags

1. Remove Thumbs.db from folder.
2. 00:15:328 –what’s the point to use fountain here? It's not a beat that very strong.
3. Disable letterbox for all diffs( by fixing code in *.osu file)

1. 01:31:265 –I don’t recommend you use drum sampleset’s default sliderslide as “slidertick”, it doesn’t fit the music and it’s not the tend to use hitsounds. the sliderhitsound is a “hold” beat, which brings a bad feeling when playing

1. 00:30:328 –meaningless fountain, please remove it.
2. 00:45:328 (1,2) –remove whistles in the sliders’ body, it’s not the tend to use hitsounds, and they sound a bit noisy.
3. 00:50:015 (2) -^
4. 01:15:796 (2,4) –Try to make them a same shape for better view
5. 01:18:999 (6) –I think you miss a nc here, the combo up to10 which is too long for your diff

[Additional Modding]

~General~

1. Remove Thumbs.db from folder. - There is nothing there. Check it one more time. (I know it's a hidden file by Windows and I have activated opinion to see those hidden system files. Yes I checked everywhere.
2. 00:15:328 –what’s the point to use fountain here? It's not a beat that very strong. - *sigh* ok. removed
3. Disable letterbox for all diffs( by fixing code in *.osu file) - Fixed.

~Beginner~

1. 01:31:265 –I don’t recommend you use drum sampleset’s default sliderslide as “slidertick”, it doesn’t fit the music and it’s not the tend to use hitsounds. the sliderhitsound is a “hold” beat, which brings a bad feeling when playing - I think it's okay for me. Well, it's not my diff so I need to wait what Bakari will say about this.

~Advanced~

1. 00:30:328 –meaningless fountain, please remove it. - sure.
2. 00:45:328 (1,2) –remove whistles in the sliders’ body, it’s not the tend to use hitsounds, and they sound a bit noisy. - well, ok.
3. 00:50:015 (2) -^ - ^
4. 01:15:796 (2,4) –Try to make them a same shape for better view - Well, i tried. Check it.
5. 01:18:999 (6) –I think you miss a nc here, the combo up to10 which is too long for your diff - Fixed.

To be honest, placement and patterns of “Advanced diff” can be improved a lot, I suggest you get 2~3 mods then call me back for recheck, sorry for inconvience.

Wait a minute Natsu to make a hitsound mod :3

Beginner

1. 00:02:203(2)- Add whistle to emphasize the relaxing beat I'd prefer not to spam whistles(specially in the beginning, as players are not used to the rhythm of the song) I feel like for a low BPM song there should not be too many hitsounds
2. [b]00:05:953(5)- Add whistle same as above
3. 00:07:828(1)- Remove whistle from slider's tail . Instead add whistle on next slider's head ( I mean at 00:09:703(2)- ) I'd prefer not to do this, sorry but it sounds better to me as it is.
4. 00:16:265(2)- Add whistle on slider's tail sorry, that's a no for sure. the whistle here would be unreasonable and it breaks my pattern
5. 00:20:953(5)- Add whistle nah, I don't think it's necessary and let me tell you why: you're trying to suggest your own rhythm which is different from the thing I try to do here. I try to emphasize stronger stuff and keep hitsounds consistent.
6. 00:21:890(6)- Remove whistle no way. Here I am being consistent with the Hard. and you are okay with that whistle on Hard.
7. 00:22:828(1)- You forgot to add whistle on slider's tail because you added the whistle on 00:26:532(1)- 's tail baka nope, I did it on purpose. while the slider at 00:26:532 (1) - has a stronger beat and BPM changes, it's sorta necessary to have a whistle here. however, 00:22:828 (1) - does not ask for anything like this.
   Note: oh, and please, do not call me "baka" ever again.
8. 00:30:328(1)- Add whistle on slider's tail yeah, my mistake.
9. 00:34:078(3)- Add whistle on slider's tail but.. why?. it goes against my own pattern, it goes against your previous suggestions and there is nothing to emphasize
10. 00:37:828(1)- Remove whistle from slider's tail there's a strong beat and the vocals, I'm keeping it.
11. 00:40:640(2)- Add whistle but.. why? [2]
12. 00:41:578(3)- Remove whistle from slider's tail the same whistle on the Hard does quite well, so I decided to place it on my diff and I am not going to remove it unless Pjecoo does
13. 00:45:328(1)- Remove whistle from slider's hand and put instead on slider's tail no. I will not ignore downbeat here
14. 00:47:203(2)- ^
15. 00:49:078(3)- ^ same for both of these
16. 01:04:078(3)- Remove drum sampleset from slider's reverse arrow because I feel it don't fit the beat well try to remove the object and listen again, please. it does fit well
17. 01:09:703(2)- Add drum sampleset on slider's head no. I don't see any reason why I would do that
18. 01:13:453(4)- ^ sorry, I really can't find any reason to do that
19. 01:15:328(1)- Remove drum sampleset from slider's reverse arrow and add instead clap because it's clap emphasis I am not going to do this because I AM emphasizing the clap right now and moving the hitsound would ruin the beat
20. 01:18:999(3)- Remove drum sampleset form slider's tail and add clap instead no. there is an obvious drum beat
21. 01:21:889(5)- Remove drum addition no. reason is exactly the same as with the suggestion above
22. 01:26:578(3)- Remove drum sampleset sorry, no. see the reply above.
23. 01:30:328(1)- ^ from slider's head
24. 01:33:140(2)- ^
25. 01 :34:078(3)- ^ from slider's head and tail did not apply any of these above for the same reason as 01:18:999(3)

That's all ! the hitsounds from Pjecoo's diffs sounds better then -Bakari-'s diff . you suggested me to remove some of the hitsounds, but you were fine with them on Pjecoo's diff, which looks kinda weird both for me and for Pjecoo. Are you sure you've checked both diffs?

1. 00:30:796 (2) - just my taste that usually i hitsound vocal with whistle, since the vocal on slider's head a little bit high, try add it? - I was told to remove it, so I'll leave like it is.
2. 01:05:953 (3) - forgot whistle in head? im sure the music is loud enough, better to whistle imo - Okay, added.
3. 01:16:734 (3) - is 1,11x spacing intentional? no bpm change or something so i'd say to make it consistent
4. 01:20:483 (3) - 1,06x is inconsistency spacing too ~
5. 01:28:453 (4) - 0,95x (the minimum spacing for 1,0x) and 1,11x spacing look so inconsistency, make them consistent please
6. 01:45:328 (1) - 1,09x is inconsistency spacing too i guess
7. Sorry if those spacing i mentioned above are intentional, usually we use consistent spacing for Normal diff >< - This is on purpose. So I won't fix it. Also SB issue fixed.
