Hi.


Judging from the title of your mp3 file, I'm guessing this was a rip from YouTube ?

Saved you some trouble, so I've got the album down and a new mp3 for you.
Includes the nice album art, and I've thrown in a custom normal-hitclap that works well with the song as a bonus.

Generally your song has some interesting potential for some hitsample mixing due to the genre (eg. cymbals, hihats and heavy downbeats)
I'd recommend putting a custom silent-spinner sample for this too.


DL: Stargazer (DJ Shimamura Remix) + Clap


Once you replace the mp3 the offset will be displaced, so please ensure you make the proper re-adjustments for all your timing points and hitobjects.
Approach me if you encounter any difficulty.
The offset ought to be 1065 and really shouldn't be any later than that.

Got 2 backgrounds I thought are worth considering.

Solid map from what I've seen.
All modding is done on a modified difficulty with the new mp3, timing and custom hitclap included.


Chasing:


Most of the flow is pretty well-defined and accentuated with back-and-forths and timely use of anti-jumps.
Can get kind of tricky because you'd want to make sure you get these down at the right sections for full effect.

Really do like that the map 'holds' it's movements at times like the patterns from - 01:42:893 -
Thoughtful, and quite neat to play.

- 01:08:607 (4) - Starting from the first slider, would suggest using 0.9x slider velocity for that subtle change on this entire section until - 01:35:007 (2) -

- 01:18:550 (3) - Suggestion for a slight touch-up.

- 01:20:607 (6) - ^

- 01:59:179 (2) - Could be like this ?

- 02:12:036 (1) - Try x:180 y:264 for a change ?

- 02:47:007 (1) - Overlaps just a little, so why not shift it 1 grid right ? Shifted it a bit more.

- 03:02:950 (7,8) - Maybe rotate these on selection by -11 ?

- 03:40:493 (1) - The entirety of this slider section can be optimized if you decide to include a silent slider-slide sample, that way you won't have to deal with having to manually make inherited timing sections just to change the volume. Lol, there is a silent slider slide sample. The inherited sections are to silence the slider ends.

- 03:56:265 (5) - This part onwards could use gradual SV increments. For example, going from 1.0x, then 1.2 and so on until 1.25x which is your highest. I prefer not to, I like keeping stuff like that consistant.

- 04:02:436 (1) - Recommend you just swap to the custom hitclap because the normal clap sample really wrecks the immersion in my opinion.
It's a bit too much obnoxious against this kind of song, while the whistles seem to fit in alright.

- 04:59:179 (3,4,5,6,7,1) - Suggestion for pattern selection tilting clockwise by -11.

Rotated it a bit more.

- 05:03:122 (2,3,4,5,6,1) - ^ Rotate selection clockwise by 4.

- 05:07:407 (9) - Recommend cutting down on the repeats and introduce a slider to finish this off.

And that's it for modding.
Good map.

1. The clap is too loud, consider to reduce the volume, Especially 00:19:922 - 00:55:922 (2,5) and 04:02:436 to 04:24:379

1. 00:55:922 (5,1,2) - It not really comfortable to play because the huge jump is so sudden
2. 00:58:665 - The slider should goes to the short stream here
   
   SPOILER

   
3. 01:00:036 (7,1) - The jumps is really uncomfortable because later on at 01:01:407 Is a long stream
4. 01:02:179 - Not really necessary (Depends on your style), but try to reduce stream spacing for better look appearance
5. 01:06:122 - The spinner is too quick for me, put it on 01:06:207 or use slow sliders
6. 01:07:407 - Reduce volume to 45%
7. 01:07:407 (2) - Whistle is enough, Finish is pretty unnecessary here
8. 01:09:636 (4) - ^
9. 01:12:379 (4) - ^
10. 01:15:122 (4) - ^
11. 01:17:522 - Maybe x0.8?
12. 01:17:522 (4) - Turn the note into slow slider (?)
13. 01:20:265 - New combo here
14. 01:20:265 (4) (Or 01:17:522 (8) - if you don't want new combo) - Turn the note into slow slider
15. 01:24:550 (4) - ^
16. 01:25:750 - New combo
17. 01:25:750 (3) - Maybe remove return slider and add slow slider at 01:27:122 ?
    
    example, 0.8 is used

    
    Don't follow me, i am not skystar XDD
18. 03:30:893 - Add break to reduce drain on HR
19. 03:36:379 - ^
20. 03:59:693 - Again ,reduce long jumps, because the the long stream at 04:01:065

1. offset sound a little bit off to me , +2 offset would be nice imo

1. 00:19:419 (6,7,8) - , 00:38:617 (6,7,8) - I wonder why you use 1/8 here ? , I mean I would just use only circles here lol it enough here now imo
2. 00:22:334 (5) - nc for sv change ?
3. 00:34:846 - why ignore this kick beat , I think it make rhythm sound better if you map it
4. 00:44:617 (9,10) - jumps here feel a bit too big or something and also this beat 00:44:789 (10) - doesn't even sound emphasized or anything using jumps here would mkae the flow feel weird imo , I would lower spacing here a lots , try move 00:44:789 (10) - to around x216 y148 ?
5. 00:50:617 (2) - sliderhead is kinda a bit inaudible to me here , better increase hitsound volume a bit so it
6. 00:55:246 (5,6) - I think swap place of these 2 notes would make the flow here 00:54:560 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - fit the song more
7. 01:20:617 (6) - nc? this sound like a new part or something
8. 01:26:103 (6) - same ^
9. 01:36:903 (4) - same same ^
10. 01:58:332 (4,5) - spacing so low here , why not make spacing here consistent with 01:56:446 (2,3) - or 01:56:960 (4,5) -
11. 01:58:846 (1) - the rhythm here sound a bit weird imo , using sliderend for emphasized beat is not that good here imo , you can try this rhythm
    SPOILER

    
12. 02:07:246 (1,2,3,4,5) - not a good way to use extended slider or something , here you can clearly hear a beat on 1/2 but you ignore and do 1/4 thing here well in player view it play good and fine but when it come to modder/mapper view it's not imo , I would change to use 1/2 slider here instead
13. 03:10:675 - hmm why skip this beat ? would make rhythm sound better if you map it
14. 03:41:017 (2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - I assume you map to violin sound or something , well they sound off to me listen at 25% speed
15. 03:51:989 (3,4,5,6) - o use circles only here would make flow better here , the current rhythm just play not really good and not flow really well too imo
16. 03:55:589 (1,2,3) - try to make spacing consistent so flow would be a bit better here imo
17. 04:01:760 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - spacing here looks a bit too much , I think 1.7x or 1.8x ds stream should be enough here now if you want something like increasing effect (idk how to explain this effect rip )
18. 04:04:846 (7,8) - jumps here feel a bit weird , (8) doesn't sound really that emphasized imo so big jumps would not sound good here imo , try move 04:05:017 (8,1) - to around x192 y228 ? spacing here sohuld be lower 04:04:846 (7,8,1) - so it make sense with music more imo
19. 04:07:589 (6,7) - similiar to what I said above , spacing should be lower so it make sense with music more imo , you can try move 04:07:760 (7) - to around x232 y184
20. 04:15:817 (7,8) - similiar to what I said above about spacing again
21. 04:43:589 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5) - are you sure about this pattern ? the 1/4 jumps there is not really fit the song here imo , mostly 1/4 jumps would fit for something sound really strong that can make the player play it intuitively but this one is not , I guess ,I would just do regular stream thing here instead

Disqualification Notice

Hello!

Unfortunately, the Quality Assurance Team has decided to disqualify this beatmap. The following is a list of reasons and examples for the disqualification. We do not outline every issue in detail, so make sure to take the idea behind each reason and apply it to the entire beatmap as issues might be found in more than the spots mentioned below. If you have any questions, please reply to this post and we will do our best to clarify any misunderstandings.

1. (M) Mapping Quality
   - Random / Unreasonable spacings or spacing changes. Spacing is one of the most important parts of mapping Insane difficulties, as it defines the flow and emphasis of a beatmap. If you use a jump, it stresses the note the player jumps to, as the cursor movement speed is higher. If you put lower spacing, the cursor movement speed is slower, and therefore the note gets stressed less. Spacing should always relate to the music as best as possible, to make the map fit to the music well.
   In this map, many circle patterns have (what seems to be) random spacing changes, even though there is nothing in the music that would call for it. Often the jumps feel exaggerated, as there is no strong sound in the music that would justify them. There are also a lot of patterns that flow rather poor due to abrupt spacing changes, as the player needs to slow down or speed up without any relation to the music, which will cause unintuitive flow. There are also quite a few patterns that go back on themselves in a weird way, which doesn't play intuitive in these cases and can cause readability problems.
   
   • Examples:
   1. 00:26:791 (4,5) - Why is this jump so big? There is no strong beat at (5) that would justify it.
   2. 00:27:477 (2,3,4,5,6,1) - There is nothing in the music that would justify big jumps like these. They also play pretty poor due to the sharp movements.
   3. 00:41:019 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1) - Weird pattern with random spacing changes. It also goes back on itself here 00:41:705 (5,6) which makes it feel cramped and rather unintuitive.
   4. 00:57:305 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - Same as above.
   5. 01:00:562 (3,4,5,6,7,1) - Again, the spacing changes don't seem related to the music.
   6. 01:30:562 (3,4) - The unusually low spacing between these objects doesn't work well, as the player expects a jump after 01:30:562 (3) - due to the repetition of 01:29:705 (6,1) -
   7. 01:47:019 (5,6,7,8,9,10,1) - Another pattern with random spacing changes, that goes back on itself.
   8. 01:49:762 (5,6,7,8,9,10,1) - Same as above.
   9. 02:19:419 (9,1,2) - You should avoid linear jump reductions like this, as they flow pretty poor. The transition from a big spacing to a low spacing can play well, but not if the player continues moving in the same direction. The cursor movement is fast due to the jump, but then it needs to slow down abruptly.
   10. 03:08:448 (4,5,1) - Same as above.[/color]
   11. 03:11:362 (5,6) - Unreasonably huge jump.
   12. 03:58:334 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - The music builds up here so increasing the spacing makes sense, but the pattern still has random spacing variations and seems rather unstructured.
   13. 04:01:077 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - Why does this stream, especially the second half, have such a high spacing? The music is far less intense for this measure 04:01:077 - compared to the previous section and the chorus. It serves as a small break before the chorus, yet the stream's spacing makes it really difficult and exaggerated to play. This stream is placed spaced as so due to the intensity of this part, it's the final contrast the song provides before the last kiai (which is the most intense in almost every song). Think of this as the words that artists say before the drop in an EDM song. The spacing also changes due to the shift from a lower pitched percussion instrument to a higher one, and it plays amazingly. I fixed the hip of it a bit though
   14. 04:09:134 (9,1,2) - Another instance of linear jump reduction.
   15. Keep in mind that these are just examples of said issues, there are more similar patterns with unreasonable spacings in this map that need to be eliminated before a requalification.
   - Unreasonable circle - slider - composition or unfitting rhythms. A couple of rhythm-choices in this map are rather questionable. Keep in mind that stronger notes should have a circle or sliderhead while weaker notes can be mapped with slidertails. The players click on circles and sliderheads, which has a higher impact than releasing a key.
   This map has some very strong beats mapped with slidertails, which doesn't emphasize them correctly. There is also a questionable extended slider, which should be avoided as it could simply be replaced with an 1/1- or 1/2-slider in this case.
   
   • Examples:
   1. 01:50:791 to 02:01:762 - The circle - slider - composition is particularly poor in that section. Please avoid sliders that end on a stronger beat, like 01:51:991 (1) - , 01:53:362 (1) - or 01:54:734 (1) - for instance. I saw that Charles already cleaned this up for me .
   2. 02:12:048 (1) - This slider literally ends on the strongest beat of this song, the beginning of the chorus, so please avoid that.
   3. 02:37:934 (3) - There is a strong beat at 02:38:105 but not at 02:38:191 - , so this extended slider seems out of place.

If you happen to have concerns about this disqualification, you can contest the decision with this form. Before using this form, please read the instructions carefully.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope your map will be requalified soon! The Beatmap Nominators will handle this mapset after the issues have been addressed.

Good luck and thank you for contributing to the osu! community with your efforts!
