OverallA great job! It’s really close to ranked, if not ready!
My main problem is that the onii focuses so heavily on the melody, but you should write for the percussion too. Ergo, I believe there should be a 5th and harder difficulty – inner onii – maybe with a faster scroll speed? Personally, a song like this in my opinion doesn't require an inner oni difficulty.
00:47:826 – I really feel like from here, the kiai should start again. It’s got the modulation and everything. Hm, yeah this could work.
KantanA lot of offbeat focus here. Since it’s jazzy you can get away with it, but I still think there’s a lot off [d] missing on the strong beats. Obviously if you just did everything I said, the result is the kantan would get harder. It’s all opinion here.
00:08:953 – This is a really important part where the synth comes in, so think about putting [d] or [k] In gameplay, the way it is right now feels smoother to me.
00:16:559 – I Really want a [k] here. I think as a Kantan difficulty, this note doesn't really need to be here.
00:17:826 – [d] for padding A 3/2 split onto Kantan probably isn't very friendly. Added.
00:18:249 (16,17) – I feel like there is too great a period of inactivity between these two objects. I recommend putting a [k] at 00:19:094 - and 00:20:362 – or somewhere else. Yeah, I agree, and this doesn't really make it more difficult. Added at 00:19:094.
The rest is great.
Futsuu00:04:728 (9) – [k] and 00:05:150 (10) – [d] feels like this pattern is more interesting. The way (10) is now matches the pitch of future notes.
00:20:362 (38) – [k] <OR> 00:20:221 – [k] and 00:20:362 (38) – [d] stays how it is I don't think this note is high enough to deserve a k, and we don't need two 1/6 notes next to each other onto a Futsuu difficulty.
00:20:784 (40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80) – Throughout this kiai time, the phrases are really fragmented. I know why you’re doing it, but I think it kinda severs the flow of the piece. This is a really free and jazzy piece with some awesome antiphonal dialogue, so it should flow nicely. It feels a bit start and stop – but this is a personal gripe over the mapping style, it shouldn’t prevent your map from getting ranked or anything and I’m just giving my two pence. If this were Muzukashii or Oni, I'd agree with you. However, Futsuu is there to try and take a player a step up from Kantan, but still keeps it simple. This start and stop mixed in with slightly more complex patterns works fine here I think.
00:23:319 – [d] We don't need two 1/6 notes next to each other onto a Futsuu difficulty.
00:23:742 – [d] This part did feel rather empty without this.
00:24:446 – [k] to start introducing swing doubles? From here I would consider having about 1 or 2 more in the rest of the piece to spice things up. We don't need two 1/6 notes next to each other onto a Futsuu difficulty.
00:36:418 (69) – [d] This note is the same pitch as (70) .
00:48:531 – [d] We don't need two 1/6 notes next to each other onto a Futsuu difficulty.
MuzuSame thing with the Kantan, a lot of what I’m suggesting will make it harder, so it’s really just opinion.
I would think about putting some d/k on the strong beats in some places like 00:14:024 – here or 00:15:714 – here. It’s ok to miss a couple few in a piece like this, but I just think that you’ve done it a little too much.
or 00:16:136 – [k] maybe There is no note here, I don't think a k is necessary.
00:20:643 – [k] maybe ^
00:20:643 (61) – [d] This definitely didn't deserve the emphasis. Changed.
00:34:305 (20) – [D] ^ without the changed comment.
00:58:672 – [k] Hm, yeah this can work.
00:59:253 – [k] ^
00:59:376 – [k] This doesn't need to turn into a quadruple.
00:59:517 – [k] Consistency with the previous d is necessary here.
Onii(I’ll be trying to push this difficulty up in stars quite a bit to inflate the difficulty pool. So consider some of these points as part of the inner onii difficulty I talked about)
You can mimic the echo effect at 00:01:348 – with 3 [k]s at 00:01:488 – at 00:01:770 – and at 00:02:052 – so you can use fragments of that here, and the whole thing in the Inner Onii. Inner Oni isn't happening. And while there really isn't an echo in the beginning, but the echo does exist afterwards, so adding an extra k in those spots works better.
00:13:883 (43) – [K] Doesn't need emphasis.
00:14:024 – [D] Doesn't need emphasis, but this works as a d.
00:14:869 (47) – [k] Yeah, doesn't need emphasis.
00:15:995 – [d]/[k] There is no note here.
00:16:136 – [k] ^
00:20:643 (68) – [k] so 00:20:784 (69) – is a [D] <3 for the first suggestion, this sounds beautiful. However, that last note doesn't need emphasis.
00:45:855 (1) – [k] Good ear, changed.
00:45:995 (2) – [k] ^
00:56:136 – [d]? There is no note here.
00:57:404 – [d]? ^
00:59:657 (67) – [K] I believe I've bee told that finishers on 1/6 streams are frowned upon, so I'm going to avoid this.
