01:06:847 (4,1,2) - the distance change between this pattern 01:06:659 (3,4) - and the square is quite abrupt. consider adding more spacing between 01:06:847 (4,1) - for better playability. aaahh the song's drum rhythms also changes abruptly so i think it fits regardless of how it plays

01:07:972 (1,2,3,4) - now since you started this with a kick (since there's one in the song too) you could turn the whole square by 90 degrees to create more depth for the kick. (if you do this make sure you don't leave 4's or 1's stacked.) i like how it is already.

01:12:472 (1,2,3,4) - ^

01:13:222 (1,2,3,4) - the distance in these is really harsh. consider making it 2.50x (and adjust the others accordingly) ok

02:35:440 (2) - this should be here 02:35:417 - (gray tick) holy shit

03:07:972 (1) - I don't find these distance jumps necessary. however what I think you should do is make the spacing raise periodically like the beat does. nerfed.
03:08:722 (1) - ^
03:09:472 (1) - ^

03:16:972 (4,5) - stack 4 on 5 all intentional, stacked stuff would ruin cause a stop, and i don't want that.

03:34:972 (4,5) - move closer ^
03:37:972 (3,4) - move closer ok



04:33:284 (7,1) - change these two to kicksliders as there are actual kicks there makes sense. changed.

04:34:034 (6) - this is a bit unnecessary but should be fine. if you want to change it just place a stack of two or something after 04:33:847 (5) - keeping this for now.

[Extra]

04:33:847 (1,2,1,2) - why changed.

.

1. 00:42:472 (3,4) - This jump is way too excessive as something in an intro.
2. 00:50:722 (1) - Remove NC for consistency. Your cycle in this difficulty was pretty long. 00:53:722 (4) - 02:50:722 (4) - 02:53:722 (4) for reference.
3. 02:26:722 (5) - This is pretty much detached with (1,2,3,4). Consider NC.
4. 03:16:972 - Personally, I was disappointed that this beat with a slight difference in the song being nothing different with other patterns. This is just my opinion.
5. 04:07:597 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - Since the volume of the music is getting lower, how do you think of this placement? This is just a suggestion. http://puu.sh/lV8u0/e85b95082e.jpg

1. I'd like to know your intention behind such rhythm selections. Some are empty, and some are filled. I couldn't found an actual regulation, so please make these more organized. After labelling them down, I guess the last two setting was done for variation, but it felt pretty random for me. Decide yourself what to do.
   00:38:534 - 00:40:034 - empty
   00:41:534 - 00:43:034 - mapped
   00:44:534 - empty
   00:46:034 - mapped
2. 01:01:597 (2,3,4,1,2,3,5,1,2,3,1,3,1,2,4) - The same grid area is used again and again for this triangle pattern. There might be people noticing this, and get kinda bored. I mean, you can use some more variation by rotating or whatever. The triangle pattern itself is pretty nice enough, but this is way too repeated. Same suggestion for 02:58:597.
3. 01:17:721 (4,1) - Your pattern selection didn't felt nice considering 01:17:722 was attached in the previous pattern. As what I've interpreted the song, the star pattern starting of 01:17:909 in your map should actually start from 01:17:722 along the downbeat. Anyways, this is just my thought why I didn't felt this well. Decide yourself what to do.
4. 01:19:222 (1,2,3) - Regarding the rhythm itself, I was pretty disappointed that you have decided not to express the strong beat of 01:19:503 which could be one of the characteristic feature of this song, and rather decided to map 1/2. Regardless of that, your decision to make 01:19:409 (2) as a clickable circle was pretty questionable. As I've mentioned above, your rhythm selection of 1/2 wasn't the best to express this music, and providing players 3 1/2 circles right after the music changes lacks in intuitive rhythm cognition. Also considering most of the rhythm counterpart during the kiai section such as 01:20:722 (1) - 01:22:222 (1) was a slider, not starting the initial rhythm which is different with the song as a slider wasn't nice enough. Using circles at 01:25:222 (1,2,3) is fine enough since players would get adapted to the song, and your rhythm selection. Until then, please provide players an information what rhythm you will use.
5. 01:42:659 (6,7,8) - Leaving my 2 cents that imitating 01:42:284 (4,5) using a different ds looked messy.
6. 02:57:472 (3,4,5) - Considering your mapping pattern, I expected a jump to appear here. Was this close distance selected due to the 1/4 triple of (6,7,1)?
   00:51:472 (3,4) - 00:57:472 (3,4) - 02:48:472 (3,4) - 02:54:472 (3,4) - note slider close ds
   00:54:472 (3,4,5) - 02:51:472 (3,4,5) - note slider jump
   01:00:472 (3,4,5) - note jump 02:57:472 (3,4,5) - inconsistent?
7. 04:29:722 (3,5,7) - Consider NC for consistency with 04:26:722 (1,1,1).

This song has a variety of rhythm, and I want this map to also have a variety of rhythm so i want to take advantage of it. I want every strong parts of this song to play differently . I guess the circles on non-dominant rhythms are fine imo just because it compliments the flow since the sliders I use in my maps are very short/slow. Idk I just don't feel like there's anything wrong with it D;
5. 01:42:659 (6,7,8) - Leaving my 2 cents that imitating 01:42:284 (4,5) using a different ds looked messy. this is the pattern, idk i quite like it http://puu.sh/lVT1b.png
6. 02:57:472 (3,4,5) - Considering your mapping pattern, I expected a jump to appear here. Was this close distance selected due to the 1/4 triple of (6,7,1)? refer to 01:06:472 (2,3,4) -
   00:51:472 (3,4) - 00:57:472 (3,4) - 02:48:472 (3,4) - 02:54:472 (3,4) - note slider close ds yep, intentional
   00:54:472 (3,4,5) - 02:51:472 (3,4,5) - note slider jump if you listen to the song carefully, there are drums there. it's feint but it's there.
   01:00:472 (3,4,5) - note jump 02:57:472 (3,4,5) - inconsistent? ahh, yeah; but they're for patterns.
7. 04:29:722 (3,5,7) - Consider NC for consistency with 04:26:722 (1,1,1). those are different patterns xd

Top 3 diff feels pretty narrow in difficulty. I thought it's a good spread :c. btu uhh, extra is an old difficulty and escapism is the new version of it. I had different opinions of it from different people and idk what to do with them so i added both of them :s

1. 00:54:097 (3,4,5) - This slider note slider doesn't sound good especially when downbeat is ended on the slider - Try this instead http://puu.sh/lXdAG/843164e730.jpg well, I don't think it's really that 'not good' as many mapper use this kind of slider also, like RLC on Mind Vortex - Arc (RLC's Normal), 01:22:404 (2,3) -
   00:58:222 (1,2) - tbh it doesn't look great because of where the long slider is pointed at - A slider shape here will do quite nicely or something to match up and flow nicely EX: http://puu.sh/lXdRX/572bccee4a.jpg not really different answer from above
   01:03:847 (1) - Downbeat on a reverse slider doesn't sound too good especially after those stacked notes - Try this rhythm it fits better with what you incorporate next http://puu.sh/lXdXN/7e74cddb96.jpg ^
   01:07:784 (2) - DS is closer, it looks slightly off compared to most of the sliders if you look closer, I started to use 1.04~1.05x distance on 01:01:222 (1) - 1.07x on 01:07:222 (1) - and finally 01:18:847 (1) - because of stronger beat
   01:10:784 (2,4) - Same as above with these ^
   01:10:222 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Near this part try this rhythm instead http://puu.sh/lXe9W/2e8c367937.jpg It removes the unessential reverse slider to make this part feel nicer and be comparable to this reverse slider 01:09:472 (6) - wouldn't it be just the same as 01:07:222 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - ?
   01:21:284 (2,3) - These touching sliders doesn't actually look that great maybe move them away from being touched like this moved a bit up
   01:24:847 (3) - Inconsistent spacing compared to what you have previously auto stack, enable Stacking feature and ta-da
   01:28:222 (1,2) - This is very strange, this occurs too suddenly - Possible rhythm http://puu.sh/lXexB/fd5790d831.jpg knowing EDM beat rhythm, it wouldn't that strange `-`
   01:36:847 (3,4,1) - Make sure these DS are consistent together uhh I use the rotate feature, dunno why it got different DS with 01:36:284 (2,3) - || changed to slider anyway
   01:38:347 (3) - I can't hear a finish on this note actually I copied Bearizm's Insane's hitsound
   01:38:722 (1) - Same as ^ on tail ^
   01:40:597 - You skipped a very important beat here and it causes a substantial pause in rhythm - Solution would to make it flow like this and finishing off the kiai with what you have 01:40:222 (1,2,4) - -----> http://puu.sh/lXeRf/dd76c1e62f.jpg I use a lot of 1/1 sliders earlier, and the map itself would be boring if I always use 1/1 sliders.
   02:19:597 (1) - Weird middle anchor but I don't think it creates a problem I tried to copy 'russian mapper' 's slider style, but end up made it like that || anyway changed
   02:20:347 (2) - You should incorporate or add a note in here at this spot, you have a note to follow vocals after this as well 02:22:222 (4) - so maybe adding one there wouldn't hurt to stay consistent done in another way, because adding note at 02:20:347 - would be considered as overmap (well... at least for me)
   02:34:222 (1) - NC could be here and continued here 02:35:440 (1) - ayy done
   02:40:222 - Maybe try to somehow make this stand out more, this strong piano just dies inside the slider, so maybe have it clickable to make it stand out actually I followed the vocal beat here, not the piano
   02:54:472 (4,1) - Flow here is dead but it could work added repeat with default sampleset
   03:17:628 (4,5,6,7) - I would highly suggest asking more people on this since this will confuse people 03:18:284 - It seems like the note is faster than it should be - Having sliders here would be better than single notes I don't know really what to do on this one, as it's really hard to change rhythm mapping in a single stanza
   03:57:847 (7) - This slider might trick people because it's hidden (3) is fully vanished after reaching (5), so (7) is clearly visible http://puu.sh/lXwI1.jpg
   04:16:034 (7,1) - Maybe stack it, it's weird to change this all of a sudden when this was never used anywhere else ah forgot, it was intentional tho
   I believe that's it for this diff

As for normal all I can say is, Idk man, I did the exact same thing on my awake map before. Got shatted on by pishi. I remade it and then everything was better This normal needs to incorporate the right rhythms into the correct beats. It skips the important ones. You did EXACTLY the same thing I did and it got wrekt. So I'll help guide you through it whenever you're on

・01:40:222 (1,2,3) - I feel very strange rhythm. You seem to be taking the main sound, but it ignores the snare sound of 01:40:597. It will lead to to loss of rhythm sense for beginner players in my opinion, so I'd like to recommend that you change the rhythm of the following image. This is better than the current rhythm. Also this will not be boring, it makes a really good rhythm. Well, I leave it to you :3
　1. Change the current 2/3 slider to 1/1 slider.
　2. Remove 01:41:159 (2).
　3. Add 1/1 slider from 01:40:784 to 01:41:159.

1. Personally, I'd stick to the official metadata unless otherwise was requested by the artist. This is ambiguous and can be discussed, though.

1. 00:38:722 (3) - in comparison with the drums on white ticks, the reverse arrow has newarly nothing to follow resulting in an awkward feeling during gameplay.
   Note: 00:41:722 (3) - same.
2. 01:29:722 (3,4) - instead of 1/1 rhythm here, a slider like you did on 01:28:222 (1) - would make much more sense.01:28:222 (1) - just listen to this.
3. 03:24:753 (6) - sounds way better when finished at 03:25:222 - where a strong drum beat is. Also, this helps to keep 3/4 rhythm working here.

1. 02:35:417 (2,3) - this is touching accuracy-metre, and it doesn't look good.

1. 01:42:659 (6,7,8) - this looked a bit random and unintentional. Can you explain why the DS is changed here?

1. 01:07:222 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I'd go for increasing DS instead of decreasing here.
2. 01:42:659 (6,7,8) - same thing as the one listed in Insane.

[Insane]

1. 01:42:659 (6,7,8) - this looked a bit random and unintentional. Can you explain why the DS is changed here? different drum sounds. kick kick snare. since snares sounds more powerful i decided to add an emphasis in this particular spot. i changed it I guess since it's an insane.. so it should play better now.

[Escapism]

1. 01:07:222 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I'd go for increasing DS instead of decreasing here. vocal note is going lower so this makes sense for me. regardless of how it plays, this pattern is logical imo.
2. 01:42:659 (6,7,8) - same thing as the one listed in Insane. kick kick snare. unchanged, however. It is 100% intentional

04:08:722 (1,2,1,2) - I think these should be spaced the same as the few before them, since the pitch doesn't change until...
04:09:472 (1,2,1,2) - these. These ones do make sense being closer together though.
