Hey! M4M from my above queue I would appreciate a rating after you applied my mod (In my queue)
So, let's get started~
Please note: Everything in bold I highly suggest.
Everything in red is unrankable.
General:
- Even though this isn’t a requirement, I still highly suggest it. Use the japanese version for your source: 艦隊これくしょん And in case you don’t want to, then you have to remove “Kantai collection” from tags since it will already be in your source.
- You can also add these to the tags: “Korekushon” and “Combined Fleet”.
- Use a background image that’s 1366 X 768. Right now, your image has a rather weird resolution. I managed to fix the resolution of your current BG. Here it is:
http://puu.sh/f6dVX/74ab2c55f2.jpg - This mapset will be better if you also use soundfiles to silence those annoying sliderslide sound. Here they are:
http://puu.sh/f6ejd/11ecebeb4a.wav
http://puu.sh/f6el7/4e5f251321.wav - Not a fan of the yellow combo colour btw. Use a colour like soft purple or soft green instead?
Easy:
- 00:01:300 (1) –Rather add a finish sound on the slider’s head instead of that whistle. So remove the whistle sound and add a finish instead.
- 00:04:300 (1) –Rather add a finish on this slider’s head as well. So remove the whistle.
- 00:05:800 (1,2,3,4) –Weird placement for an Easy diff. Beginners may get confused when playing it, so I rather suggest a half-circle placement:
Never use placements that’s too crammed or that’s hard to see the pattern in an Easy diff. - 00:07:300 (1) –Remove the whistle from the slider’s head. You have already added a finish, so why add a whistle as well?
- 00:11:800 (1,1) -The reaction time between the spinner and the next note look pretty short which may be unrankable since it’s too hard for beginners. I suggest removing that spinner and rather mapping that section. (Of course, if you don’t want to map that area then you can always ask a BAT if that spinner is okay there. But right now, for me, the reaction time looks too short.)
- 00:16:300 (1) –A finish will also sound really nice here in my opinion. So rather remove that whistle and add a finish instead.
- 00:19:300 (1) -^
- 00:22:300 (1) -^
- 00:25:300 (1) -^
I think you get the idea now about those finishes. Try to use different hitsounds on those beats than just whistles. - 00:23:800 (2) –Rather do this to the shape.
It looks nicer and symmetric in my opinion. - 00:53:050 (2) –Won’t this look better?
Just lower that slider till it looks like the above pic. - 00:56:050 (2) –Same thing here. I think this looks better:
- 00:59:050 (2) -^
- 00:59:800 (1,2,3,4) –I don’t like this placement. Try something like this instead:
I just did a kind of half circle shape there. - 01:08:800 (1,2,3,4) –Improve this half-circle shape (lol)
- 01:29:800 (3) –Eep! Not a nice shape at all. Maybe a wave shape will look much better.
- 01:44:800 –One should always try to place a single circle or the start of a slider on an important beat like this one. To emphasize those beats. Maybe try to do this:
- 02:01:300 (1) –Rather place this slider somewhere here to make that half circle shape look neater.
- 02:05:800 (3) –Weird slider and I’m not sure if it’s really allowed in an Easy diff. But you should then rather check-in with a BAT just to double-check it.
- 02:08:800 (1,2,3,4) –Try a different placement here, like a halfcircle pattern like in my previous suggestions.
- 02:41:425 (4) –Not that great placement for flow purposes. Try this instead:
- 02:51:550 (2) –Hm, looks untidy in a way. Try this:
Copy and paste 02:50:800 (1) –then Ctrl+H and then Ctrl+G. - 03:00:550 (2) – Nazi. Just try and move that red square in the middle of the slider till it’s more in the middle of the slider to improve the symmetry.
- 03:02:425 (4) –Make a half-circle shape with this circle. So place it here:
- 03:05:800 (1) –Place this slider here to complete the flower pattern shape:
Even though I gave quite a long mod for this diff, it doesn’t mean it’s not good. Your NC’s and your rhythms look nice. I guess it’s just the visual aspect of the diff that you have to work on. For example the placement of the notes, the shapes of the sliders, etc.
Normal:
- 00:06:925 (5) –Nazi. Just move this circle till it forms a kind of triangle shape with 00:05:800 (3,4) –
Thus somewhere here: X:164 Y:172 - 00:54:550 (5,1) –Make a blanket here?
- 01:04:300 (1,2) -I think your distance here is incorrect. You used 0.9X here when you should have been using 1.0X.
- 01:15:550 (1) –I’d say rather remove this new combo. You didn’t add any single combos earlier in the diff.
- 01:39:925 (5,2) –This overlap is probably not such a big deal, but it can still be avoided. Do this:
- 02:18:550 (1) –Same here. Rather remove that new combo.
- 03:11:050 (1) -^
Pretty solid Normal. I didn’t really find anything else here to point out. Just make sure that your distances are the same throughout the entire mapset. (I may have missed some distance errors)
Hard:
- 00:03:175 (2) –I don’t like this flow. Rather do this:
- 00:06:925 (4) –What about this rhythm instead?
- 00:08:800 (1) –Rather do this for better flow?
Ctrl+H that slider and then turn it 70 degrees anti-clockwise. - 00:11:800 (1,2,3,4,5) –Hm, I think a half-circle shape will help with better flow and play more nicely.
- 00:14:800 (1) –Remove new combo here. It doesn’t make sense imo that these two circles: 00:14:050 (1,2) –are a combo on their own.
- 00:16:300 (1) –Rather place this circle here: X:168 Y:160 for better flow.
- 00:25:300 (1) –Rather change this single circle into a slider. It follows the rhythm better in my opinion.
- 00:37:300 (1) –Same thing here. A slider will work better.
- 01:04:300 (1) –Maybe this rhythm instead:
The pause here: 01:04:487 –just feels a bit awkward. - 01:40:300 (1) –Slider here instead.
- 02:06:925 (6) –Same as previous suggestions. Rather use this rhythm here:
- 02:13:300 (6) –New combo here for consistency.
- I see you placed a few streams in the last kiai time. I think you should try to be more consistent with your other kiai times. Maybe place a few streams in the other two kiai as well, or don’t use streams in the last kiai; rather use patterns that you used in the first two kiai’s. You used just triples in your first two, but in your last one, you mostly used streams. So maybe also just use triples in your last one, or place a few streams in the first two kiai times. Either way, I think your kiai times should just be more consistent.
Very nice diff. But it still needs more improvement.
Sorry, but I’m not that good at modding Insanes at all (Still learning), so I’ll rather leave it alone, before I confuse you.
Overall, it’s a very nice mapset. There’s still just a few more improvements that’s needed though to make this mapset perfect.
Good Luck!~
