Preamble: My hands are currently broken since quite some time and only started to really get into mapping after they broke, meaning I couldn't playtest it and my points on flow might be a bit wrong since I can never be 100% sure what plays well and what doesn't, but I hope it helps anyways ^^
00:02:052 (3,4) - The slider on the 1/4 is kinda unexpected, I had to listen at 50% to finally hear that the vocal is a bit delayed, but on 100% it's almost unnoticeable imo. If you want to let it be as it is I'd at least increase the spacing so they overlap a bit so it's easier to read
(If you decrease spacing here, might as well do with 00:12:865 (1) , just mentioning it, not necessarily) I did reduce the spacing betwee them, still didn't overlap since I like clean mapping LOL, about the second one I did just remove the slider, cuz I didn't feel that it fit my mapping, I did add a whistle at first one to cover the delay, even tho I'm sure the vocal land on blue tick
00:03:273 (6) - I understand offbeat-sliders when they are mapped because the vocals are on the offbeat, but here these are two piano-hits. imo, the song would call for a bit more emphasis on the slidertail and 00:03:796 (2) (<- would've ignored that if it wasn't for the slider), so I'd suggest to ctrl-g 00:03:273 (6,1) chronologically. Same with 00:16:180 (2,3) , it just feels a bit weird : \ Also 01:49:668 (2,3) - well beed doing this during years, I'll explain how it works, I did use a slider at those points mmm how to explain lol, well next vocals after the slider are 1/2 so I have to map them with circles, doing circles as where the sliders are will kinda kill the special meaning of the vocals circles, so yeah that's why I prefer to have different objects for the instruments and vocals, hope you did understand lol, didn't know how to explain this properly haha
00:15:482 (5,1) - The slider got an awkward angle to play, I'd rotate it by around +40° well due to the slider leniency, you don't have to do that movement when playing, keeping it for now, I'll change if more people complain about it
00:18:360 (5) - Why 1/4 here? O.o remove the object, there is a piano sound, actually should be 1/4 and 1/8 beats, but I did just ignore the 1/8 one cuz too hard xD
00:28:563 (2) - Mapping the second note when there is no beat in the music and silencing it - I don't see a reason for that and it confuses a bit. A reverse-1/1-slider would seem to fit, or just replace it with a circle lol cuz the hold sound, will change if someone else complain, even tho I did the same as different parts in the diff
00:43:214 (3,4,1,2) - The flow here is very weird because it stops at (4,1) but then continues in the same direction and the slider also goes in that direction. Since I don't really understand the offbeat-slider anyways I'd ctrl-g (1,2) chronologically there is a vocal in 2
00:44:784 (6) - The first two whistles of this combo are both on the downbeat, making the third one stand out in an awkward way. I know, it's mapped to the vocals, but at first it gives the impression that it's mapped to the downbeats making the third a bit weird. Dunno how to fix it though, I'm not good with hitsounding lol there is a piano at red, idk I'll remove it if someone point it again
00:50:366 (5,6) - Again the angle of the slider breaks the flow a bit, would play and look much better imo gonna break my symmetry haha, also same explain as before one
00:51:935 (1,2) - Kinda high spacing here, 2,39x when similar parts like 00:53:156 (1,2) and 00:54:028 (4,5) are just 1,94x : \ well since is a slider you don't have to move all the way of it to archivie 300, so the spacing lie there, but I'll do something if someone else complain, mainly cuz I don't have a nice idea atm, to make it look nice in other way, I care too much about visuals lol
01:04:319 (1,2,3,4) - Flow is a bit again, maybe move the stack down a bit? did move this 01:04:319 (1,2,3) - up instead, I'm symmetry god
01:07:982 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Maybe unstack one of these since two of them break the flow pretty hard imo well its a cmon pattern that I use sometimes, since is 1/4, you really don't feel it in game
01:13:214 (5,6) - I know it's a pretty pattern but the slider angle is weird for flow again : \ pls I love this hahahaha
01:33:621 (3) - Normally I'd say this is a weird angle again, but it fits very good to the tone-shifting of the vocals or something like that, very nice o.o thanks
Actually quite a lot of these angles again in this part, I guess I'll just stop pointing them out, just when it's combined with very high spacing like in 01:41:819 (4,1) it feels especially weird I guess. And there are some that are veery close to weird like 02:12:517 (8,9) Oh I do change spacing between combos, mainly to bring more emphasis to vocal verses or cymbals like is the case in 01:41:994 - about the sliders, they don't play like they look, since if you notice the approach circle don't let you to break combos even if you don't follow them from start to the end, that's why people always take shortcurts when playing sliders
01:49:668 (2,3) - Again I don't really see the reason for this offbeat-slider, would ctrl-g again to bring click actions only to the vocals here: 01:50:017 (3,4,5) - I have a really strong ¨rules¨ for myself when mapping to vocals lol xD
02:23:854 (4,5) - Piano and bass have a heave emphasis on (4), so I'd ctrl-g again to emphasize it with the slider too make sense the only problem is that the next rhythm will force me to ignore the downbeat at 02:24:028 - so I guess my current rhythm is probably the best choise here
02:35:889 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Again two stacks in a row, dunno about that same as before
03:31:877 - Even though the missing beat is not that loud it doesn't feel good leaving it out imo, maybe reverse-1/2 that one will think about this one, you make me doubt about my slider part haha, but need to get more opinions, even tho slider tick help covering it
03:33:273 - Again leaving out beat, this time this beat is really strong, rhythmically it would seem reaally nice to ctrl-g these two 03:33:098 (3,4) this one is cuz the guitar, I kinda prefer to follow the special sounds rather to the bpm
03:47:575 (2) - This beat really needs more emphasis, maybe turn (2,3) into a slider? nah every vocal need a hit, yeah is my retarded way of mapping lol, I always try to bring hits to every vocal, the tiny jump actually bring emphasis to the cymbal tho
04:10:075 to 04:18:098 - This part still seems mapped too hectic imo, I'd decrease the spacing a bit more, to give some rest to the players in this calm part actually is the same spacing and slider velocity as the first secion, is just cuz the AR9 makes everything seems fast, maybe I'll use 8,5 instead
04:10:424 (3,4) - see very first point ^^ did the same as before
04:42:517 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - This stream is quite long, and I think it would also give more (imo needed) emphasis on 04:43:009 if you turned (1,2,3) into one 1/2-slider pls I love circle streams :c
That's all, I like this map very much
I'll pm you once my map is ready to be modded by you
thanks :3
