Even your 2012 maps were better, but this one is not that bad, i don't like the shapes of the streams.

This map is far from being polished enough to get ranked yet. Instead of complaining about how picky the ranking criteria is, you should increase your personal standards to improve the overall quality of this map. Ask yourself if everything makes sense with the music and is nice to play, if yes this map will also fit the ranking criteria and quality standards of the QAT in order to get ranked.

To list only a few of the many major issues you may want to adress before thinking about ranking this:

- emphasis due to jump usage is often poor, important beats are left without a jump pretty often, examples: 01:56:550 (1) - 02:50:550 (1) - 03:26:550 -
- stream spacings often change randomly, for example 00:57:750 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) -
- the highly spaced streams often change angles drastically at unfitting places, for example 05:46:425 - 05:51:150 -
- the NCing is inconsistent and random
...

This map is interesting, now get more mods to make it ready before having it bubbled.

Random mod from a bad mapper, I don't think this will be helpful, just some random suggestions from looking over this map and playing the first half a couple of times (mostly in the streams, not great with jumps).

[Legend]

00:31:350 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Perhaps change this into 3 sliders 2 circles or 4 circles 2 sliders (like the other patterns) for consistency's sake? This pattern seems a bit out of place.
00:54:750 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - It's about the same sound as 00:45:150 (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) but the pattern is much more spaced. It does feel a bit more intense, but not enough to warrant that kind of spacing imo. Or space out the other stream a bit more.
01:15:000 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - Space this out a little more and move it off the repeat slider?
01:19:950 (9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - This part feels a bit awkward to play as there is a pretty big gap and sudden change in direction.
02:02:550 (6,7,8,9) - Spacing again. It's in a lot of places, I'll try and point out as much as I can. It's not that big a deal, but it looks and plays a bit wonky when the spacing is suddenly much smaller.
02:46:650 (5,6,7,8) - ^
02:45:000 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - ^
03:18:750 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - ^
03:23:400 (6,7,8,9) - ^
04:34:667 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - This pattern looks interesting, but a bit ugly... try and make it a bit more like 04:52:314 (7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14) ? I think you tried to make the same kind of pattern, but did it much better in the latter.

Lots of awkward turns in the spaced streams like Desperate-kun said. I'll try and point out some of the weirder ones.
05:13:200 (11,12,13,14,15) - Things like this appear often, not going to write this for every one. While it follows the general direction - which should play okay - the one note out of the flow makes it seem like a bit of an abrupt/awkward turn. These should probably be polished up a little.
05:17:250 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) - The spacing is heavily reduced here. I agree that there should be a reduction in spacing, but this feels like a bit too heavy a reduction in spacing. Perhaps space it out a little more?
05:25:650 (8,9,10,11,12,13) - This is fine, but it might play/look a bit better if spaced out more.
05:30:975 (8,9,10,11) - Not that awkward, but I think you can change the position of these circles to make it flow better rather than changing direction slightly.
05:32:400 (11,12,13,14,15,16,1) - Not sure about this. It might be okay, but to me it looks like this whole pattern plays a bit odd. Perhaps add a few 1/4 sliders to change direction rather than the circular motion here?
05:35:850 (9,10,11,12) - This one isn't so much of an issue in playability, but probably should be polished, too.
05:43:650 (4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5) - Same as 05:17:250 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16)
05:49:275 (12,13,14,15,16) - This stream as a whole feels a bit odd, but I think this section in particular will cause a lot of breaks. Perhaps the same stuff with 1/4 sliders?
05:51:075 (4,5,6) - The 5 feels very out of place. Same with the 4 in 05:52:200 (3,4,5) and in 05:53:700 (7,8,9) . These are the more extreme examples that I talked about in 05:13:200 (11,12,13,14,15) but this time the notes being talked about could even just be removed (and the stream extended one note).
06:07:650 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Same kind of stuff as 05:43:650 (4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5) . Perhaps space it out a little more?
06:23:250 (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) - ^
07:09:750 (13) - Not sure about this turn.
07:13:275 (12,13,14,15,16,1) - Same kind of thing with 1/4 sliders, especially the turn in 07:13:575 (16,1) .
07:14:325 (10) - Weird turn again.

Though this is a long mod, most of these are just nit-picky things/suggestions. The stream spacing isn't too big of an issue, it might just be more aesthetically pleasing/flow better if some of them are more consistently spaced. The awkward turns are the only real issue in playability I could come across - the spacing by itself already makes it extremely challenging to the very best, the awkward turns just makes it frustrating.
All of that being said, this was a really, really fun map to play, even if a tad unpolished. I really do hope this does get ranked (if I didn't like this map, I wouldn't mod it) and this is one of my maps of 2015 so far. Best of luck in getting it ranked!
(Also someone please mod some of the spacing outside the streams that I'm too inexperienced to see pls)

Do i HAVE to make a jump there? Cause i didn't really feel like making one there. The second one is reasonable tho and i fixed that.
- stream spacings often change randomly, for example 00:57:750 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - I know a map should be consistent, but i just want to make it varied a bit. I do know that the music doesn't change a lot between these parts, but it is not like that stream is completely wrong. I like to vary the distance snap sometimes. I hope this is okay and i can leave it as it is, since i like it like that.
- the highly spaced streams often change angles drastically at unfitting places, for example 05:46:425 - 05:51:150 - I am like on of a few people, who can actually FC all the streams and trust me, if you learn how to aim spaced streams, edges and drastically changed directions are hellalot of fun. I know it is not 100% fitting to the music, but it is the same reason as with the different spacings. I just like to vary some things. I hate monotonous streams. It is just way more fun to have some nice movement while streaming.
- the NCing is inconsistent and random I tried making them reasonable. I don't really know which ones you mean exactly. I think this is somehow subjective, but i could be wrong.

Will do. Thank you.

I changed the little jump onto another circle to match the music better.

I feel like the only people complaining about sharp turns in streams are the ones, who cannot play them. Don't take this as an offense, please. I really don't want to change ANYTHING about these spaced streams. They are really fun like they are now. They are meant to be difficult and have some turns and edges. As i said above, I am one of a few, who can play spaced streams really well. I can even FC these streams (even with hardrock i did it ALMOST) and sharp turns in spaced streams make me orgasm. I really refuse to change the spaced streams. Sorry. If this is a big issue to get this map ranked, then I would rather prefer it to get graved rather than changing it.

Though this is a long mod, most of these are just nit-picky things/suggestions. The stream spacing isn't too big of an issue, it might just be more aesthetically pleasing/flow better if some of them are more consistently spaced. The awkward turns are the only real issue in playability I could come across - the spacing by itself already makes it extremely challenging to the very best, the awkward turns just makes it frustrating.

Thank you for the time you invested in this mod. I really appreciate it (:

Also changed a bit from an IIRC mod.

2015-06-01 04:59 Frey: sorry, I have 3 unfinished guest diff
2015-06-01 05:00 DoKito: and you needed to look at the song first to realise that? lol
2015-06-01 05:01 Frey: yep, I don't really like this kind of song
2015-06-01 05:01 Frey: though I know osu need more like this
2015-06-01 05:02 DoKito: no problem :P
2015-06-01 05:02 Frey: but I think
2015-06-01 05:02 Frey: you need to check the NC
2015-06-01 05:03 Frey: if part looks like a kind of pattern, then you need add a NC
2015-06-01 05:04 DoKito: ye somebody told me that the NCs aren't really consistent
2015-06-01 05:04 DoKito: but i don't really get what exactly.
2015-06-01 05:07 Frey: for example
2015-06-01 05:07 Frey: 00:56:550 (8) -
2015-06-01 05:08 DoKito: hm. i know you don't like the song too much, but would you mind looking for only the NCs?
2015-06-01 05:08 DoKito: this shouldn't take too much time i think.
2015-06-01 05:09 DoKito: only if you want tho.
2015-06-01 05:09 Frey: because I think it's necessary
2015-06-01 05:10 DoKito: it really is
2015-06-01 05:10 DoKito: you would help me quite a lot
2015-06-01 05:10 Frey: back to 00:56:550 (8) -
2015-06-01 05:11 DoKito: okay. new combo was made
2015-06-01 05:11 Frey: you can see the follow point between (7) and (8) is bad
2015-06-01 05:11 DoKito: yes
2015-06-01 05:12 Frey: if you nc 00:56:550 (8) , then you can see a symmetrical partten
2015-06-01 05:12 DoKito: should i remove the NC here? 00:57:750 (1) -
2015-06-01 05:12 DoKito: since the one before is now only 4 objects long
2015-06-01 05:12 Frey: 00:56:550 (1,2,3,4) -
2015-06-01 05:12 Frey: no need to
2015-06-01 05:12 DoKito: ye that pattern was on purpose.
2015-06-01 05:12 DoKito: okay.

2015-06-01 05:13 Frey: 00:52:950 (7,8) - the stack looks bad
2015-06-01 05:14 DoKito: stack?
2015-06-01 05:16 Frey: just the reason for NC
2015-06-01 05:16 DoKito: oh you mean the triplet before
2015-06-01 05:16 DoKito: okay.
2015-06-01 05:17 DoKito: should i remove the NC here? 00:51:750 (1) -

2015-06-01 05:18 Frey: 01:12:450 (1) -
2015-06-01 05:18 Frey: remove nc
2015-06-01 05:19 DoKito: huh. how did that happen.
2015-06-01 05:19 Frey: 01:16:500 (4) - NC as you like
2015-06-01 05:20 DoKito: done
2015-06-01 05:20 Frey: 01:18:150 (6) - NC,

2015-06-01 05:20 DoKito: okay.

2015-06-01 05:21 DoKito: ?
2015-06-01 05:22 Frey: I didn't mean the NC
2015-06-01 05:23 DoKito: ye i know. a NC cannot be too hard. lol

2015-06-01 05:37 DoKito: some parts are still the same tho
2015-06-01 05:37 DoKito: but only a few
2015-06-01 05:38 DoKito: ye i was lazy there.
2015-06-01 05:38 DoKito: but i tried my best at rearranging the whole thing

2015-06-01 05:40 Frey: I think people would get annoyed because there is no break time
2015-06-01 05:40 DoKito: i think no DF map got a break time
2015-06-01 05:40 DoKito: these songs don't really let you make a break
2015-06-01 05:41 Frey: but yours is way too harder than lesjuh's
2015-06-01 05:41 DoKito: well you got some kind of break right before the intense part starts
2015-06-01 05:41 DoKito: 175 bpm
2015-06-01 05:42 DoKito: 170*
2015-06-01 05:42 DoKito: it is somehow relaxing in relation to the rest
2015-06-01 05:42 Frey: well, just my personal suggestion
2015-06-01 05:43 Frey: 03:52:350 (7) - NC
2015-06-01 05:43 DoKito: i would have made a break, if the song gave it.
2015-06-01 05:43 Frey: lol
2015-06-01 05:43 DoKito: but i couldn't find any part. so i think it is better than forcing it.

Hey, mod as requested
It will be a "quick" check.

[Legend]
  1. CS 5 pls (jk :p)
  2. 00:32:100 (5,6) - and 00:32:850 (3,4) - Make the spacing larger, create a jump to make it more consistent. It would feel and play better since the player would be able to predict it without a problem and follow the music.
  3. 00:56:550 (8,9,10) - This looks "meh". May i suggest something different? http://puu.sh/i7Fw0/523d5c19a8.jpg then uu.sh/i7FwT/866c3b2206.jpg. 11 is stacked on the end of 8, curved the stream to make a smoother transition.
  4. 00:57:750 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,1,2,3,4,5,6) - I don't understand these changes on the stream spacing, the song's intensity doesn't change, try to make it more consistent.
  5. 01:04:650 (7,1,2,3) - Flow can improve here, it feels forced. Ctrl+g and ctrl+h would work nicely on the triple, then position the pattern like this: http://puu.sh/i7GbL/ad601beabb.jpg
  6. 01:07:050 (6,7,8,9) - Make this stream slightly curved, to make it flow better and look better. http://puu.sh/i7FWB/a0f621ff00.jpg
  7. 01:15:000 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - There is no need to stack the last notes, it only cunfuses the player (me :p). You can make the spacing on the stream smaller to avoid it.
  8. 01:20:400 (12,1) - This 1/4 jump is evil, it doesn't flow well enough to be ok. I seriusly think you should remake this part to avoid it.
  9. 01:31:050 (4,5,6) - The triple should be where 4 is, listen more closely. http://puu.sh/i7GBY/fbab59b6b1.jpg
  10. 01:37:200 (12) - This is not needed and doesn't play well imo, it's enough with just a circle.
  11. 01:54:000 (12,1,2,3,4) - Align this better so it flows better.
  12. 02:15:900 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This doesn't follow the music, rhythm should be 3 triples http://puu.sh/i7H72/c73a652148.jpg . I strongly recommend that you change it, imo how it is now doesn't feel well.
  13. 02:25:500 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Same ^
  14. 02:33:300 (9,10,11,12,13) - Flow can improve, try: http://puu.sh/i7Hx4/f7c2295b77.jpg
  15. 03:41:850 (5) - I think this slider would flow better if you ctrl+g it, then put it around 464, 88
  16. 03:45:900 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Same as the other ones, feels very forced T.T
  17. 03:48:000 (1) - Flow feels forced here too, try positioning it like this http://puu.sh/i7I4i/5323d00931.jpg to make it smoother and to keep consistent with the jumps.
  18. 03:55:500 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - D:, and if you decide to not change this sections, for some reason, the transition here 03:56:250 (6,7) - feels really bad, make 6 lead to 7 in a smoother way.
  19. 04:16:650 (5) - Ctrl+g this, it would give a nice effect to the cursor movement, goes nicely with the sound you're following.
  20. 04:17:400 (8) - This can flow better, right now is too sharp. Try this: http://puu.sh/i7IvB/7b0717c281.jpg
  21. 04:19:950 (6) - Why do you force these 1/4 sliders where there's not sound? A circle would work just as good and not be overmapped.
  22. 04:39:079 (2,3) - Switch these on the timeline, would make a nice back and forth flow. Then maybe reduce this jump 04:39:255 (3,4) - , but it would be ok i think even without making it shorter.
  23. 04:44:550 (1,2,3) - Why are these repeats? Try using this rhythm http://puu.sh/i7JdS/ea8daf2798.jpg the last one finishes on blue tick for the drum. Pattern suggestion: http://puu.sh/i7Jn2/c3f8f4dc63.jpg and http://puu.sh/i7Jo0/29b09e909b.jpg
  24. Skipped the crazy guitar solo section, i can't even attept to play it :/. I'll just say that it's a bit too messy in some parts and that the stream shapes are too irregular. It somewhat fits though :p.
  25. 06:00:900 (3) - Make this shorter, to the white tick to follow the guitar better, and remove the soft sampleset.
  26. 06:02:100 (9) - Same.
  27. 06:03:150 (5) - Curve it to make it lead to next stream a bit better.
  28. 06:05:250 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Wow
  29. 06:52:500 (6,7) - Bad flowbreak, make 6 lead to the stream or move the stream.
  30. 07:02:550 (8,9,10) - It would play better if 8 was part of the stream, turn it into 2 circles.
  31. 07:14:250 (9,10,11) - These little things you do with your streams dont play good, try to avoid doing that.
  32. 07:20:550 (10,11) - Rotate these -90 degrees with selection center as origin, it would make the flow nicer :).
This still needs more polish and mods to be ready, it's really fun but it can be better with some more work and mods.

Thank you for this mod (:
Monstrata
As requested~ Most of the issues i brought up here can be fixed relatively easily. They were all pointed out to improve the overall quality of this map before it goes into qualified. Please, please message me in game if you have questions or anything :D.

Also, some suggestions for alternative diff names, since people don't seem happy about an AR 9.6 CS 4 "Legend" map :P.

  1. Legendary
  2. Relentless
  3. Ceaseless
  4. Vindictive
  5. Maybe some synonyms or words pertaining to being relentless, which match the title and lyrics of the song about persisting onward despite all the chaos etc. etc. Just some ideas really!
Alright, lets get started: Great wall of China incoming.

[Legend]

  1. 00:26:550 (1,2,3,4) - How about spacing them like all your patterns before?
  2. 00:28:950 (1,2,3,4) - Pattern improvement suggestion if you're interested:

    127,179,28950,6,8,P|145:232|133:280,1,105,14|8,0:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    49,235,29250,1,10,0:3:0:0:
    224,300,29400,2,0,P|192:352|148:368,1,105,2|0,0:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    39,139,29700,1,0,0:0:0:0:
  3. 00:30:450 (3) - How about moving this to 312||165 to blanket slider 6? It would totally match your next pattern with 00:31:650 (3,6) - . Since you wanted to emphasize 4 with a jump, how about moving slider 4 a bit more to the left 00:30:300 (2,4) - to blanket circle 2 as well? Would improve the overall structure here at little cost.
  4. 00:32:250 (6,1) - I feel like you should try and emphasize the finish on 1 with a larger jump. This DS is especially small compared to similar patterns.
  5. 00:32:850 (3,4) - Here too, I feel like a larger jump is more appropriate since you mapped a larger jump with: 00:30:450 (3,4) - and 00:31:650 (3,4) - too.
  6. 00:36:600 (4,5,6) - I hate to say this because of how you've set up this pattern, but the jump from 4>5 doesn't really emphasize anything whereas slider 6 actually maps to a strong beat where a jump would make more sense.
  7. 00:39:150 (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,2) - Would be cool if you could get this stream to blanket slider 2 since it seems like that was your intention here at some point.
  8. 00:41:100 (2,3,4,5) - How about CtrlG'ing this rhythm? Triplets feel better when they end on a white tick than on a red tick. Alternatively you could make this a 5x stream if you want, since there's a drum beat on 00:41:175 -
  9. 00:43:350 (6) - The guitarist emphasizes this note so maybe increase the spacing from 5>6? You could try stacking the slider-end of 6 with circle 4. Creates a nice circular flow and gets rid of slider-body overlap.
  10. 00:50:850 (2,3,4) - Same issue as brought up earlier about triplets ending on red ticks. Here too, theres a drum beat at 00:50:775 - so having a stream following the slider would be more natural imo.
  11. 01:02:550 (6,7,8) - You should have a larger jump from 7>8 imo to emphasize the guitar here., Something like 01:05:250 (4,5) - is nice ;o.
  12. 01:09:300 (3,8) - How about making them parallel.
  13. 01:20:100 (10,11) - How about swapping them in time line to keep momentum? Since the streams right before here are rather spaced, and there are streams coming after. As it currently is, I feel players will lose momentum playing this pattern because of how closely spaced the kicksliders (basically 1/2 circles) currently are. Increasing the spacing this way will still achieve that circular flow you were creating here.
  14. 01:23:475 - Circle here for triplet?
  15. 01:51:450 (9,1) - Would be nice if you increased the spacing here slightly to for better emphasis onto 1. I recommend moving 9 to 125||222 and reblanketting 7. Would look a bit neater too.
  16. 01:52:650 (8,6) - Ehh, fix this stack?
  17. 01:59:550 (3,7) - Fix this stack too?
  18. 02:06:300 (2,3) - If you listened to my point earlier, swap these two sliders too. Same reasoning.
    02:11:850 (5) - Ctrl+G'ing this would definitely improve the flow, but it might hurt the sliders that come after. Perhaps you have another idea here? Either ways flow could be improved from 4>5 imo.
  19. 02:22:800 (10,1) - Blanket?
  20. 02:38:850 (2,4) - Make them parallel?
  21. 02:42:450 (1) - Remove NC
  22. 02:53:550 (3) - 104||31 Looks nicer. Creates a linear pattern with slider 1 and slider 2's tail. :D
  23. 03:08:400 (1) - I feel like NC should be on 03:08:550 (2) - ...
  24. 03:10:200 (3,4) - Maybe increase spacing here a bit to emphasize the vocals.
  25. 03:12:150 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18) - This is a really large combo. You seem to switch from 2/1 and 1/1 measure NC's here. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to NC on 03:13:350 (8) - and 03:10:950 (7) - But this is up to you~.
  26. 03:22:500 (7,8) - Stacking them really hurts the momentum you've built up. Jump instead?
  27. 03:26:550 (1,3) - Nazi stack.
  28. 03:32:550 (6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6) - I fear this pattern might be unnecessarily difficult to read because of the amount of overlaps.
    Here's something I made that I think still captures what you were intending to create here:

    436,4,212850,6,0,L|364:12,1,62.9999980773926,4|0,3:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    292,124,213000,2,0,L|354:117,1,62.9999980773926
    452,34,213150,2,0,L|380:42,1,62.9999980773926,4|0,3:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    276,154,213300,2,0,L|338:147,1,62.9999980773926,0|0,0:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    468,61,213450,2,0,L|396:69,1,62.9999980773926,4|0,3:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    260,183,213600,2,0,L|322:176,1,62.9999980773926,8|0,3:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    03:36:150 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This arrangement seems rather random to me. Is there any way you can improve your note placement here? There's a break right after here so it wouldn't hurt to rework this pattern a bit. Maybe arrange the sliders to form a pentagon? Or have them be parallel again like above^
  29. 03:40:350 (7) - I feel like this should be a circle since there's an audible triplet that begins at 03:40:500 - .
  30. 03:42:750 (8) - Here too, there's a very clear triplet that I would encourage you to map instead of using so many 1/2 sliders here.
  31. 03:45:150 (8) - ^ Ehh. Man, you really neglect these triplets huh :P. I won't mention more since it seems to be a trend, but mapping the would really benegit your rhythm choice here imo because it helps bridge the gap between your 1/2 slider spam earlier like say 03:53:550 (3,4,5,6,7) - and your kick slider usage at
  32. 03:55:500 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - . I understand you're following the guitar, but adding the triplets could really add to rhythm diversity in this section.
  33. 04:08:850 (3,4,5) - This doesn't really flow too well imo.
  34. 04:10:950 (1,3,5) - Since structure is a growing issue with quality nowadays, How about making the distance in between the blankets of these sliders the same?
    Like this

  35. 04:16:650 (5,6) - You should really increase the DS here because there is a strong emphasis on 6.
  36. 04:29:902 (6,7,8) - These jumps are unnecessarily large imo :P They don't really fit the music. You don't have jumps nearly this large anywhere else in this section.
  37. 05:05:100 (12,1) - Larger spacing here too? You're going to be playing those kick sliders like circles anyways, so the spacing actually decreases entering into 1, even though the guitar is emphasized on 1.
  38. 05:08:250 (3) - How about 1/4 slider instead? Since there's another note on 05:08:400 - . And it seems like you're following the guitar so omitting this note would be weird.
  39. 05:10:050 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - Can you make the spacing here more consistent? 05:10:050 (1,2,3) - Is noticeably larger than 05:10:350 (4,5,6) -
  40. 05:15:600 (6,7,8,9,10,1) - How about increasing spacing here to be consistent with the spacing of the stream right before it? Since there's no shift in the music that would denote a shift in spacing. (I know this is minor, but it helps with general aesthetics and improves quality)
  41. 05:19:650 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Here too. It would be nice if you could make them more consistent. Like stacking both or spacing them both.
  42. 05:42:450 (8) - NC here instead?
  43. 05:43:200 (1) - Remove from here
  44. 05:43:650 (4) - NC here instead.
  45. 05:44:100 (1) - And remove here. I think this NC pattern will fit your rhythm better, since now everything begins on a measure and aligns with a new measure: following the guitar.
  46. 05:51:075 (4,5,6) - This is a biiit sharp of an angle. I think people will have trouble with this and/or bring it up in future mods. Would it hurt to make the angle just slightly less sharp? At least make it like 120 degrees like what you did with 05:52:200 (3,4,5) - . This is already pushing it but since there's no overlap its still acceptable imo.
  47. 05:59:250 (1,2,3,4) - How about making them parallel? I don't see a reason for them to be in that particular angle.
  48. 06:09:150 (1) - Remove NC here, random lol.
  49. 06:10:650 (9,10,11,12) - Yes yes yessss Do more of these!!!
  50. 06:23:250 (5) - NC here since you're switching from following the vocals to following the drums.
  51. 06:25:650 (9) - NC Since your NC rhythm here seems to be 1/1 instead of 2/1 (I think 1/1 first better too, since you used 2/1 earlier for the less-intense section. It's more intense now).
  52. 06:30:300 (9) - NC Same reason^
  53. 06:31:575 (15) - ^
  54. 06:35:250 (8) - NC
  55. 06:35:100 (7,8,9) - Also here, your spacing is a bit weird tbh. You want 8 to be the most spaced, to emphasize the start of the new line in the vocals (also cymbals) but you put a huge jump from 8>9 even though 9 isn't a strong beat at all :P. Here's a suggestion that will improve this spacing a bit.
  56. 06:36:150 (1) - Remove NC
  57. 06:36:450 (5) - NC This is when the vocal stars.
  58. 06:40:050 (9) - NC
  59. 06:40:800 (1) - Remove NC
  60. 06:41:250 (2) - NC
  61. 06:43:650 (9) - NC should be here. 06:43:950 (1) - Remove it from here.
  62. 06:44:100 (2,3) - This is a bit sharp imo. You could improve the flow by rotating slider 3, like around 30-45 degrees. The jump makes sense but flow could be improved.
  63. 06:44:550 (4,6) - Obligatory blanket fix.
  64. 06:45:900 (3,4) - How about increasing spacing here for emphasis on the vocals?
  65. 06:45:600 (1,4) - Oh also, NC should be on 4. Remove it from 1.
  66. 07:05:100 (6,7) - Increase spacing to emphasize vocals please?
  67. 07:05:250 (7) - Also,. NC
  68. 07:19:650 (8) - NC. You're going over 2 measures already.
  69. 07:22:050 (16) - NC
  70. 07:23:850 (1) - Remove NC
  71. 07:24:375 (3) - NC
  72. 07:26:100 (9,10) - Could increase spacing here to emphasize the bassdrum on 10.
  73. 07:28:500 (9,10,11,1) - Imo this flow could be improved.
  74. 07:30:150 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - Could improve this flow a bit. As well as emphasize the guitar on slider 6 and drums on 7. How about this: Ctrl+G 07:30:450 (6,7) - And then Ctrl+G 7 again after.
  75. 07:35:250 (9,10) - Blankets contribute to overall quality :D.
  76. 07:36:450 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - Wooow nice. My only complaint is that the first set isn't perfectly blanketted but that's just me being a nazi.
  77. 07:42:000 (10) - Ctrl+G and also 07:42:300 (12) - Ctrl+G I think this motion would flow really nice.
  78. 07:49:275 - There's like a note here you could stack on the head of your last slider if you want. Weird to omit it (unless this was supposed to be mapped to the spinner, in which case it's not snapped right lol).
Well, I hope this will help improve the quality of your mapset. I can see some issues with NC'ing. I only noticed about half way through though, so please feel free to poke me in game after youve gone through this mod and I can recheck for NC issues through IRC :D. Good luck with ranking this map Doko :D.

Also, some suggestions for alternative diff names, since people don't seem happy about an AR 9.6 CS 4 "Legend" map :P.

  1. Legendary
  2. Relentless
  3. Ceaseless
  4. Vindictive
  5. Maybe some synonyms or words pertaining to being relentless, which match the title and lyrics of the song about persisting onward despite all the chaos etc. etc. Just some ideas really!
Alright, lets get started: Great wall of China incoming.

[Legend]

  1. 00:26:550 (1,2,3,4) - How about spacing them like all your patterns before?
  2. 00:28:950 (1,2,3,4) - Pattern improvement suggestion if you're interested:

    127,179,28950,6,8,P|145:232|133:280,1,105,14|8,0:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    49,235,29250,1,10,0:3:0:0:
    224,300,29400,2,0,P|192:352|148:368,1,105,2|0,0:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:
    39,139,29700,1,0,0:0:0:0:
  3. 00:30:450 (3) - How about moving this to 312||165 to blanket slider 6? It would totally match your next pattern with 00:31:650 (3,6) - . Since you wanted to emphasize 4 with a jump, how about moving slider 4 a bit more to the left 00:30:300 (2,4) - to blanket circle 2 as well? Would improve the overall structure here at little cost.
  4. 00:32:250 (6,1) - I feel like you should try and emphasize the finish on 1 with a larger jump. This DS is especially small compared to similar patterns.
  5. 00:32:850 (3,4) - Here too, I feel like a larger jump is more appropriate since you mapped a larger jump with: 00:30:450 (3,4) - and 00:31:650 (3,4) - too.
  6. 00:36:600 (4,5,6) - I hate to say this because of how you've set up this pattern, but the jump from 4>5 doesn't really emphasize anything whereas slider 6 actually maps to a strong beat where a jump would make more sense.
  7. 00:39:150 (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,2) - Would be cool if you could get this stream to blanket slider 2 since it seems like that was your intention here at some point.
  8. 00:41:100 (2,3,4,5) - How about CtrlG'ing this rhythm? Triplets feel better when they end on a white tick than on a red tick. Alternatively you could make this a 5x stream if you want, since there's a drum beat on 00:41:175 -
  9. 00:43:350 (6) - The guitarist emphasizes this note so maybe increase the spacing from 5>6? You could try stacking the slider-end of 6 with circle 4. Creates a nice circular flow and gets rid of slider-body overlap.
  10. 00:50:850 (2,3,4) - Same issue as brought up earlier about triplets ending on red ticks. Here too, theres a drum beat at 00:50:775 - so having a stream following the slider would be more natural imo.
  11. 01:02:550 (6,7,8) - You should have a larger jump from 7>8 imo to emphasize the guitar here., Something like 01:05:250 (4,5) - is nice ;o.
  12. 01:09:300 (3,8) - How about making them parallel.
  13. 01:20:100 (10,11) - How about swapping them in time line to keep momentum? Since the streams right before here are rather spaced, and there are streams coming after. As it currently is, I feel players will lose momentum playing this pattern because of how closely spaced the kicksliders (basically 1/2 circles) currently are. Increasing the spacing this way will still achieve that circular flow you were creating here.
  14. 01:23:475 - Circle here for triplet?
  15. 01:51:450 (9,1) - Would be nice if you increased the spacing here slightly to for better emphasis onto 1. I recommend moving 9 to 125||222 and reblanketting 7. Would look a bit neater too.
  16. 01:52:650 (8,6) - Ehh, fix this stack?
  17. 01:59:550 (3,7) - Fix this stack too?
  18. 02:06:300 (2,3) - If you listened to my point earlier, swap these two sliders too. Same reasoning.
    02:11:850 (5) - Ctrl+G'ing this would definitely improve the flow, but it might hurt the sliders that come after. Perhaps you have another idea here? Either ways flow could be improved from 4>5 imo.
  19. 02:22:800 (10,1) - Blanket?
  20. 02:38:850 (2,4) - Make them parallel?
  21. 02:42:450 (1) - Remove NC
  22. 02:53:550 (3) - 104||31 Looks nicer. Creates a linear pattern with slider 1 and slider 2's tail. :D
  23. 03:08:400 (1) - I feel like NC should be on 03:08:550 (2) - ...
  24. 03:10:200 (3,4) - Maybe increase spacing here a bit to emphasize the vocals.
  25. 03:12:150 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18) - This is a really large combo. You seem to switch from 2/1 and 1/1 measure NC's here. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to NC on 03:13:350 (8) - and 03:10:950 (7) - But this is up to you~.
  26. 03:22:500 (7,8) - Stacking them really hurts the momentum you've built up. Jump instead?
  27. 03:26:550 (1,3) - Nazi stack.
  28. 03:32:550 (6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6) - I fear this pattern might be unnecessarily difficult to read because of the amount of overlaps.
    Here's something I made that I think still captures what you were intending to create here:

    436,4,212850,6,0,L|364:12,1,62.9999980773926,4|0,3:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:

    03:36:150 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This arrangement seems rather random to me. Is there any way you can improve your note placement here? There's a break right after here so it wouldn't hurt to rework this pattern a bit. Maybe arrange the sliders to form a pentagon? Or have them be parallel again like above^
  29. 03:40:350 (7) - I feel like this should be a circle since there's an audible triplet that begins at 03:40:500 - .
  30. 03:42:750 (8) - Here too, there's a very clear triplet that I would encourage you to map instead of using so many 1/2 sliders here.
  31. 03:45:150 (8) - ^ Ehh. Man, you really neglect these triplets huh :P. I won't mention more since it seems to be a trend, but mapping the would really benegit your rhythm choice here imo because it helps bridge the gap between your 1/2 slider spam earlier like say 03:53:550 (3,4,5,6,7) - and your kick slider usage at

Wow. Okay. I changed almost everything, incl. the name of the difficulty. Relentless sounds nice. Thanks for this huge wall of text. Took me some time to go through.

Hi~ M4M from request in-game.
I'll do my best since I'm not comfortable with fast map.

- Relentless :
  1. 00:25:050 (6) - If you look at all your other pattern before this one, you can see there is a problem here. I think you should CTRL+J for get the flow like other and let player on a pattern he follow from the start.
  2. 00:29:700 (4,5) - This spacing is way too huge for the start of this new part. You should let player get used to this rhythm change, even this one 00:34:500 (4) - have a lower spacing. So nerf it.
  3. 00:46:200 (3) - Align it with 00:45:750 (1,2) - so move it to 448:300.
  4. 00:57:600 (4) - I know you want to keep this symetry, but this spacing make it so inconsistant with 00:57:000 (2) - who is just the same. Move it to 460:276 to fix it.
  5. 01:03:000 (8,9) - I don't know what do you think about it but a reverse slider whould fit more when I listen it. Also would fix this breakflow kinda hard due to the straight slider.
  6. 01:04:200 (5,6,7) - Spacing should be constant between these 3 objects.
  7. 01:21:075 (8,9,10,11,12,13,14) - This curve on stream could be smoother imo.
  8. 01:23:700 (2,3) - This breakflow play very badly because you force player an unnatural movement to the right follow by a curved one who change the direction too hard. Try something like this http://puu.sh/i8Sz4/b8b29ef761.jpg.
  9. 01:41:700 (6) - CTRL+G it. If you look it finish atm on the left, so it can lead to an easy break too the big jump with next slider.
  10. 01:46:725 (1,1,1,1) - I don't see the point to NC them, nor increase spacing here. The end of this part is not enough strong to allow this imo.
  11. 02:15:600 (10) - You forget NC.
  12. 02:19:050 (1) - Remove NC.
  13. 02:25:200 (9) - And add NC.
  14. 03:16:725 (1,1,1,1) - Same as 01:46:725 - .
  15. 03:21:750 (1,2,3,4,5) - Wtf happend to your spacing here ???? It's inconsistant between them and other stream who use 0.8x. Fix it.
  16. 03:45:600 (10) - NC.
  17. 03:52:350 (1) - Remove NC.
  18. 03:55:200 (9) - NC.
  19. 05:15:450 (5) - This part is already really hard, if you use this kind of breakflow you just make this worst and terrible. This part is like a full stream so should keep a continuous flow, but this one and 05:15:750 (8,9) - make it impossible and place a jump who should be used if next object was a slider. Last 05:15:450 (5,6,7,8,9) - looks like a random pattern imo. Try to focus on something more flow structured as pattern.
  20. 06:43:350 (5,6,7,8) - A Curved stream could help to catch the movement of the next slider, because with this speed a straight slider make it hard to catch.
  21. 06:45:900 (12,1) - Would be pretty if was on center of this slider.
  22. 06:55:800 (2,3) - This jump is wrongly placed, should be between 06:55:950 (3,4) - imo.
  23. 07:07:350 (4,1) - A stream who follow a quick reverse slider should be in the front on it, not under, because you just breakflow so much you force an unnatural movement who play really badly.
  24. 07:34:500 (10) - CTRL+G it pls, just keep the smooth flow here, it's not the kiai anymore so you should keep easiers patterns.

Overall your streams are unpolished and could be smoother constructed, and flow for certains parts are too rough for a map at this BPM with these settings. It should be more natural to have an enjoyable map. Also this map should have a break somewhere to let player some rest, a 7min map at 200 is really exhausting.
Good luck.

I'll do my best since I'm not comfortable with fast map.

- Relentless :
  1. 00:25:050 (6) - If you look at all your other pattern before this one, you can see there is a problem here. I think you should CTRL+J for get the flow like other and let player on a pattern he follow from the start. Pretty small issue, but k.
  2. 00:29:700 (4,5) - This spacing is way too huge for the start of this new part. You should let player get used to this rhythm change, even this one 00:34:500 (4) - have a lower spacing. So nerf it. okay
  3. 00:46:200 (3) - Align it with 00:45:750 (1,2) - so move it to 448:300. done

  5. 01:03:000 (8,9) - I don't know what do you think about it but a reverse slider whould fit more when I listen it. Also would fix this breakflow kinda hard due to the straight slider. following the vocals here.
  6. 01:04:200 (5,6,7) - Spacing should be constant between these 3 objects. pretty nazi, but okay. fixed it.
  7. 01:21:075 (8,9,10,11,12,13,14) - This curve on stream could be smoother imo. It is a stright line into a curve
  8. 01:23:700 (2,3) - This breakflow play very badly because you force player an unnatural movement to the right follow by a curved one who change the direction too hard. Try something like this http://puu.sh/i8Sz4/b8b29ef761.jpg. I think it is fine as it is tbh.

First of all, the streams are intentionally made like this. It makes it much more challenging and way more fun to play. You have to keep track of the cursor while streaming and not just move it in a monotonous curved movement. Sharp edges and turns are what make a stream fun to play, imo. It is funny how you probably cannot play these streams yourself and question the enjoyment of them. <,< You really cannot tell until you play them yourself. Just looking at them in the editor doesn't say anything about the playability of them, but this is probably also very subjective.
The point with the break... Well, no DragonForce map got a break. And there is a reason for it. Their songs just don't give you a chance to insert a break. I just cannot force a break into this only because it is 7 minutes long, since there really is no part where a break would fit. Also there is a 170BPM part, if you didn't notice. This can be seen as kind of a break in comparison to the rest of the map. And on a final note, this map is more aimed to be played by people with a high rank and trust me, they don't have any problems with 7 minutes of 200BPM.

Thank you for your mod. Even if there were only small suggestions, it still helped me a lot ^-^
xxdeathx
specific things and overall advice

SPOILER
15:54 DoKito: hey there o/
15:55 xxdeathx: hi
15:56 DoKito: you probably know who i am.
15:56 xxdeathx: lol
15:56 DoKito: i just wanted to ask if you could check my map some time.
15:56 xxdeathx: ok, i'll look at it and try to give you advice
15:56 DoKito: i would appreciate it.
15:57 xxdeathx: but i don't consider myself capable of judging ridiculously hard maps that i can't play
15:58 DoKito: well, it is actually not too hard
15:58 DoKito: it is only the guitar solo which is pretty rough.
15:58 DoKito: i got like... 6-7 more mods in the last 2 days
16:00 DoKito: and i think there are still 1 or 2 more to come. but the last 2 modders couldn't point out anything really important tbh. just some really really really small issues.
16:04 DoKito: and many ppl already asked me... yes i can fc all these spaced streams and yes they are fun to play. they are intentionally made very edgy.
16:08 xxdeathx: lol
16:08 xxdeathx: my left arm got rekt
16:08 DoKito: xD
16:08 DoKito: i saw it
16:08 DoKito: the map is more aimed at the top 500~
16:08 xxdeathx: clearly
16:10 xxdeathx: well the beginning part before it gets too hard is alright
16:10 xxdeathx: 01:42:000 (1,2,3) - this placement and spacing seem out of place though
16:10 DoKito: why?
16:10 xxdeathx: plays weird too
16:11 xxdeathx: they're really close for 1/2
16:11 DoKito: oh holy fakk
16:11 DoKito: this wasn't intentionaL
16:11 DoKito: that sneaky bastard moved on its own
16:11 xxdeathx: lol
16:12 DoKito: 2 was meant to be on 232:28
16:12 DoKito: *32
16:13 DoKito: and i think im gonna switch these NCs 01:43:350 (6,1) -
16:13 xxdeathx: as far as polishing goes you have a lot of things that are overlapped and can be stacked
16:14 DoKito: what for example?
16:14 xxdeathx: like 01:58:425 (2,3) -
16:14 xxdeathx: 02:01:050 (3) - too
16:14 xxdeathx: ^
16:14 xxdeathx: 02:06:600 (4) - i find it weird for a 4 tick repeating 1/4 slider to start on a red tick
16:15 xxdeathx: there should be a keypress on 02:06:750 - the white tick
16:15 DoKito: 01:58:425 (2,3) -
16:15 DoKito: this does make sense tho
16:15 DoKito: and ye. 02:01:050 (3) - move this one a bit to the right.
16:15 xxdeathx: well try to have everything on the same coordinate
16:15 xxdeathx: so that 02:00:600 (2) - blankets them
16:16 DoKito: ye
16:16 DoKito: did that
16:17 xxdeathx: 02:12:450 (7,8) - this jump feels awkward because the second slider goes against the direction you took to reach it
16:17 DoKito: http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3200983
16:17 DoKito: changed it like that.
16:18 xxdeathx: ok
16:18 DoKito: should i make 8 more vertical?
16:18 xxdeathx: 02:32:550 (6) - this would play better if you ctrl-g it
16:19 xxdeathx: yes you can make it vertical or point away from 7
16:19 DoKito: okay. made it vertical
16:20 DoKito: 02:32:550 (6) - okay. fixed that
16:20 xxdeathx: an overall thing i noticed, this map is hard enough as is
16:20 xxdeathx: and you don't need things like overmapped triples
16:20 xxdeathx: 02:34:425 (9) - 02:35:025 (2) - for example
16:20 xxdeathx: the guitar solo probably has plenty of 1/4 in the song b
16:21 xxdeathx: but if there isn't a sound on a blue 1/4 tick it's not a good idea to put a circle there
16:21 xxdeathx: lots of recent disqualifications for those
16:21 DoKito: :x
16:21 DoKito: i better change it then
16:23 xxdeathx: yeah, overmapping is no longer as acceptable as it was back in uh like before i started mapping
16:23 DoKito: okay. good to know
16:25 xxdeathx: another thing to note is that your curved 1/2 sliders should have a consistent amount of curve to make the map look neater
16:25 xxdeathx: like 02:44:550 (1) - is curved a lot but 02:43:800 (3) - not so much
16:26 DoKito: well i don't really try to be consistent with those, since they vary a lot depending on the other circles/sliders
16:26 xxdeathx: hmm
16:27 DoKito: i hope there is nothing majorly wrong with it :x
16:28 xxdeathx: idk
16:28 xxdeathx: it depends
16:28 xxdeathx: on how well those other circles/sliders can justify different slider curves
16:28 xxdeathx: and how strict the QAT will be on that
16:28 xxdeathx: 03:38:850 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - could use some structure though
16:29 DoKito: this is structured tho
16:29 DoKito: somehow symmetrical
16:29 xxdeathx: seems haphazardly placed at first impression
16:29 DoKito: 03:39:450 (4) -
16:29 DoKito: is 2 ctrl + g h j
16:29 xxdeathx: 03:39:150 (3,4,5) - it's these 3
16:30 DoKito: 03:39:750 (5) -
16:30 DoKito: is the same with 3
16:31 xxdeathx: i mean it doesn't look as symmetrical as something like http://puu.sh/i90Zb/700624f0d1.png
16:31 DoKito: i tend to make things symmetrical very often. therefore i try to have some variety by ctrl + g'ing some sliders
16:31 xxdeathx: the objects were symmetrical to each other but not their placement
16:32 DoKito: well. i always try to make my map not look shitty in terms of placement
16:33 DoKito: that's why i often use symmetrical stuff, but this is getting boring. especially in a 7 minute long map
16:33 DoKito: that's why i try to create some variety
16:33 DoKito: symmetrical sliders are somehow repetitive. i don't want to have monotonous maps like andrea
16:34 xxdeathx: hmm well you want to make sure it still looks nice
16:34 xxdeathx: especially since difficult maps get all the pressure
16:34 xxdeathx: anyways onto the guitar solo part
16:34 xxdeathx: i especially don't think i'll be able to help much here
16:35 DoKito: well. you don't have to imo.
16:35 DoKito: i mean... it is streams most of the time
16:36 DoKito: there is nothing really wrong about it in my opinion. most people complain about the streams not being smooth (only people who cannot play them *cough*. very important opinions), but as i said, they are edgy on purpose
16:37 xxdeathx: lol i won't talk about the streams
16:37 xxdeathx: but especially in the hardest parts it's important to make the map clean
16:37 xxdeathx: as far as overlaps, blankets, stacking go
16:38 DoKito: well. i always try my best to avoid ugly overlaps and stuff like that
16:38 xxdeathx: like 05:39:600 (6,3,1,2,3) -
16:39 DoKito: what do you mean?
16:39 xxdeathx: avoiding overlap there
16:40 xxdeathx: 05:40:500 (4,1) - here the slider is pointing against the direction the player's coming from
16:40 xxdeathx: actually idk how this whole pattern 05:40:650 (1,2,3,4) - plays
16:41 DoKito: the pattern itself plays well
16:41 DoKito: but the transition is bad, you are right
16:41 DoKito: you come from the completele other direction
16:42 DoKito: http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3201032
16:42 DoKito: should be way better like that
16:44 xxdeathx: ok done
16:45 xxdeathx: as i said before i can't really judge the playability of this map
16:45 xxdeathx: but you can work on aesthetics like stacking and overlapping
16:45 DoKito: well, let's just say i get compliments for this map
16:45 DoKito: from players who are able to play it
16:45 xxdeathx: yes i see that high ranked players have favorited it
16:46 DoKito: by far my most favourited pending/graveyard map
16:46 xxdeathx: and your hardest?
16:46 DoKito: no. haha
16:46 DoKito: one of the harder ones, yes. but not the hardest :D
16:46 xxdeathx: lol
16:47 DoKito: <6 star-maps are just no fun. haha
16:47 DoKito: you fc it after a few tries and then you're done with the map
16:47 xxdeathx: strange
16:48 DoKito: that's my opinion at least :D
16:48 xxdeathx: for good players i guess
16:48 DoKito: ye.
16:48 DoKito: a map has to be REALLY unique and VERY fun to play for me to play it again after i fced it.
16:48 xxdeathx: true
16:49 xxdeathx: i rarely play maps after i fc them either
16:49 DoKito: ye. that's why i tend to make pretty rough maps.
16:49 xxdeathx: i see
16:49 DoKito: so ppl can challenge themselves and compete with each other
16:50 DoKito: and since this map became quite popular i really want it to get ranked somehow
16:50 xxdeathx: yes, it's amusing to see top players compete on ridiculously hard maps
16:50 DoKito: do you think it is ready for a bubble? i mean one BN already gave me one.
16:50 xxdeathx: if you find the right bn's, anything's ready for a bubble
16:50 DoKito: and i really don't wanna annoy ppl with mods for nazi stuff
16:51 xxdeathx: just look at this
16:51 *xxdeathx is listening to [http://osu.ppy.sh/b/326775 YUI - Rolling star]
16:51 xxdeathx: well i suppose it'll be less nazi if you seek people who are capable of both modding and playing something that hard

good luck with this~

Actually, the biggests complaints about the stream curving isnt because theyre there, it's because they turn on unfitting places. 05:46:425 (6) - why on a blue tick and not white like here 05:46:350 (5) - where theres actually a strong beat?
  1. 05:48:975 (8,10) -
  2. 05:51:675 (12) -
  3. 05:51:675 (12) -
  4. 05:52:275 (4) -
  5. 05:53:775 (8) -
These are just from the stream section between 05:46:050 - and 05:55:650 -, you can find the rest of the awkward turns in the other sections yourself, rearranging the streams takes like 2 seconds and you can keep your curves and everyone happy

Edit: + A little IRC about making streams with grid snap turned off so theyre more polished and evenly spaced.

2015-06-02 16:49 Kotonoha: i left post on ur dragonforce map, i hope you find it helpful
2015-06-02 16:50 DoKito: oh. that was random
2015-06-02 16:50 DoKito: thank you :)
2015-06-02 16:59 DoKito: i think you are actually right. before everyone keeps complaining im just gonna change the streams and make the sharp turns at least on some strong beats.
2015-06-02 16:59 DoKito: thank you for your advice.
2015-06-02 17:04 Kotonoha: oh and also something i noticed now
2015-06-02 17:04 Kotonoha: the streams looks really unpolished because you kept grid snap on while placing the objects
2015-06-02 17:05 DoKito: isn
2015-06-02 17:05 DoKito: isnt that normal?

2015-06-02 17:06 Kotonoha: if you turn off grid snap and drag them out it will make always even spacing
2015-06-02 17:07 Kotonoha: and it will always make the spacing even*** wow english
2015-06-02 17:07 DoKito: wow
2015-06-02 17:07 DoKito: thanks for that hint. lol
2015-06-02 17:08 DoKito: that's quite helpful
2015-06-02 17:09 Kotonoha: yeah, grid snap on small always snap the object on places with 4 pixels between them so it's not very exact as having it turned off while making streams
2015-06-02 17:10 Kotonoha: you really only have to drag the objects out normalize them, its really fast but youll probaly have to do it with all of them to be sure
2015-06-02 17:10 Kotonoha: i hope it was helpful :D
2015-06-02 17:11 DoKito: it was
2015-06-02 17:11 DoKito: definitely

Good Luck now :)

Actually, the biggests complaints about the stream curving isnt because theyre there, it's because they turn on unfitting places. 05:46:425 (6) - why on a blue tick and not white like here 05:46:350 (5) - where theres actually a strong beat?
  1. 05:48:975 (8,10) -
  2. 05:51:675 (12) -

These are just from the stream section between 05:46:050 - and 05:55:650 -, you can find the rest of the awkward turns in the other sections yourself, rearranging the streams takes like 2 seconds and you can keep your curves and everyone happy

Edit: + A little IRC about making streams with grid snap turned off so theyre more polished and evenly spaced.

2015-06-02 16:50 DoKito: thank you :)
2015-06-02 16:59 DoKito: i think you are actually right. before everyone keeps complaining im just gonna change the streams and make the sharp turns at least on some strong beats.
2015-06-02 16:59 DoKito: thank you for your advice.
2015-06-02 17:04 Kotonoha: oh and also something i noticed now

Thank you so much. I reworked the streams completely, but kept the sharp turns (made them fit to the music now tho). They look much better now.

01:46:650 (12,1,1,1,1) - i don't think it's a good idea to make such an increasing spacing on 200 bpm streams, it's hard to follow and can be really unexpected, consider adjusting that spacing
02:04:875 (4,5,6) - that shape is too sharp, it's too hard to follow streams with such a sharp movement, betterr to make it more flowing
02:05:250 (9,10,1) - ^
03:16:650 (7,1,1,1,1) - same as before
04:58:050 - 05:55:650 - the part. almost all of these streams are totally unpleasant to play, sharp shapes, spacing, flow, i don't think song calls for it, why don't you make these streams smoother and without all these sharp angles? i hardly suggest you to redo this part because these streams are made for crazy difficulty, not for player's please while playing. i honestly don't understand how to play something like 05:48:450 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - . probably i'm just not that good player, but still, it's too hard and forced. i hope you consider that and make this part smoother
07:09:675 (12,13,14) - again unpleasant shape :(
07:13:200 (11,12,13,14,15,16,1) - too
07:14:250 (9,10,11) - and this

I'm really sorry, but I'm not that good with checking such a type of maps, it's over my level, I can't play it, so I can't judge it well. I hardly suggest you to get high-level player's opinions about this map, because only they can judge this map well and point at really bothering things.
Good luck with ranking!

The streams are intentional like that. I already reworked them, so they fit to the music better (especially the sharp turns). I, and other people my rank level, find them fun to play. The sharp turns don't make much of a difficulty icnrease. It is more the spacing in general tbh. The sharp turns are just fun IMO because you have to keep track on your cursos because of the movement/direction changes.

I didn't apply anything, but thank you anyway. I already got many high-level player's opinions for this, I just want to search for BNs right now, but yea... Most people won't bubble because of that very reason - it is out of their league. Fakk dis. Are there any high-level BNs, who aren't scared of bubbling stuff like this? :c

as your per request

00:49:800 (6) - Ctrl+G? maybe flow better imo.
02:07:350 (12) - NC? this part is stream finish..
06:40:050 (1) - Missing blanket.
06:40:800 (1,2) - Swap NC?

Good job!

Bubbled again!

At first i thought Jenny was being nazi again, but seriously how is this bubbled?

Overmapped as fuck, random triples and stuff, makes no sense at all.

Instead of crying how "overmapped" this is (which it isn't in my opinion) you could mod it and explain why you think it doesn't fit. This way you don't make anything better. Would love to see it, actually.

01:32:550 (1,2,3) - i don't hear a triple
01:32:925 - now this should be a triple but its not mapped?
01:33:000 (1,2,3) - right after another random triple
01:33:525 - unmapped triple
01:33:975 (4) - can't hear anything, can you?
01:33:975 (4) - still can't hear anything, must be deaf
01:36:000 (2,3) - thefuck?
01:36:525 - unmapped triple
01:37:425 (2) - still not hearing anything.
etc, just saying you overmapped some long streams and most of the triples are misplaced.

EDIT: that's 9 problems in what? 5 seconds? Whoever bubbled this shouldn't be a bn

EDIT: but ofcourse who gives a fuck, most of the top players like this cause it's a pp fest, gl with the map tho.

I'm happy to see you worked on the issues I stated earlier! The map improved a lot and I'm loving the changes. I really hope to see this map qualified soon, gogo BNs :3

The triplets and 1/4 rhythm usage are fine imo.. Just because they don't actually exist in the music doesn't mean you are forbidden from mapping them. Actually, with a song as intense as this, the slight overmaps can complement the music well. Mapping isn't just about following the song, but making the song fun, interesting, and challenging to play. You shouldn't just assume that if something is "overmapped" it's bad.

Lets not hate on BN's for bubbling this map k? That's just uncalled for ;c. Part of being a good modder is respecting other mappers' styles too...
