BPM: 199.97
Offset: 2,348

Just a tad off. It's difficult to time because of all the different things going on at once.

Easy:
Good job making an easy map on a European Flower-Power Metal track. Most people would go overboard. I should be criticizing you rather than simply saying "Good job" but that's really all I can do.

Normal:
03:17:94 (3,1,1) - Tricky, but not particularly problematic after your first time through.

Hard:
02:13:21 (6) - Snap it to the whole beat at 02:13:13.
03:17:94 (3,1,1,1,1) - oh rats combo breaker D= (ignore this)

Expert:
01:47:63 (5,6,7) - Beatspacing issue (6 is too close to 7 compared to the distance between 5 and 6)
01:50:03 (5,6,7) - Again, beatspacing issue
Honestly, I thought there'd be more notes. Like, quarter note streams. Might be too buttfucking hard to play it like that though =x Or too high of a score. It's worth a ton as it is because of those sliders. So I guess good call on that.

Thanks, awp.

I updated with all the fixes you mentioned above and adjusted the bpm/offset.

...but now I really don't know whether I should lighten the difficulty a bit or not. ><

I guess I'll bug burai or something else who's experienced and see. ;)

Ok, those errors should be corrected now. I even found some other spacing errors you didn't mention. ;)

Ok. Here's what I did.

I created a new 'expert' difficulty with most of the same beats as the old expert except:

1. the intro is toned down.
2. spacing is closer.
3. sliders are not as fast.
4. overall, not as hard, but still a challenge.

I haven't decided whether to replace this new difficulty with the old expert, so I instead renamed the old expert to insane and kept it for now. Do you think this should replace it, or should I have 5 difficulties? What do you guys think?
machol30
As I said on irc, it's fine by me if have five difficulties.
Insane is pretty insane and I want to pass this before it gets ranked.

Hard:
[02:00:41](8): closer to 7.
[02:25:16](7): new combo?

Easy:
[00:27:55](1): farther away from previous note.

Some other spacing issues, but they're very minor and most seem intended.

This map is crazy and just zips through almost the entire screen.

Going to bubble (having second thoughts because I think I may have overlooked somethings). You should probably go back and look through them all again, just to be safe and sure. Check for spacing inconsistencies. I may have come across some and then threw them off because they felt like they were meant to be there.

Ok. I believe everything is good to go on spacing. In case burai or someone else looks over this, I used 0.6 spacing on easy, normal, hard, and expert, and 0.9 for insane. (except for the intro, which is 0.6)

Quick question though, is the calculated maximum score in the editor include the difficulty bonus? If it doesn't, then I need to find some way to increase insane's max score so it won't be so close to expert methinks.

love it!!!!

Expert
01:47:63 (5,6,7) - Beatspacing issue

imo you only need one of either Expert or Insane because they're so damn similar. Probably Expert because the beatspacing's friendlier <3

Darn, too bad there isn't a way to make just insane unranked and the others ranked. I kinda want to see either saturos or burai attempt to pass it. :P

In any case, what the verdict on the score? am I gonna have to find some way to reduce it? ><

You can post Insane as an attachment on first post.

I feel no need to scramble with that.

Easy:
* Reduce slider tick rate from 4 to 2. Insane points for such an easy map, plus it sounds better that way.

Normal:
* Reduce slider tick rate from 4 to 2. Same thing as with easy.
* 00:15:54 (1): Spacing

Otherwise ok for ranking by me.
Gemi
Ranked. Have fun with it.
Nharox
The long little sliders are horrible. ~_~

Anyway, good job with this beatmap. ;)

I just wanted to say... not because I suck at this game... but I do have a couple complaints....
First.... This is AWESOME!!!! I mean, it's tough, but cool... but... just venting here... it's beatmaps, notestrings or whatever it's called in EVERY SINGLE RHYTHM GAME that creates the insane, live alone... in their basement (or their mom's basement) that sit and memorize EVERY SINGLE BEAT!!! I mean... it's cool to be challenged, so we can do better... but COME ON!!!! Really! I mean the first time I saw it on guitar hero, I just knew Neversoft pulled a Konami/SNK. Which is NOT a complement... also... LOTS of note 3 under note 1 with a 2 next to it.... Thats CRAZY!!! YOU CAN'T SEE EM! I feel, if you're gonna make something INSANELY HARD, make it fun! Rhythm game makers just don't seem to see that...
also... only like half the song? If you're gonna make the HARDEST F***n' song... i da no... leik... MAKE THE WHOLE SONG!!!!
another thing... how come NO ONE is MAN ENOUGH to make another Dragonforce song? It's not their only song.... I would do it... but I'm working on Mario Minor by Powerglove and then making Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago? since it has yet to be made...

Insert mass amounts of ellipses and nonsense ranting here.
If you want to play the whole map through, play this one. It's only approved, so it won't effect your ranked score, but it's quality. The reason this one is not mapped throughout the entire song is because of ranking standards. The score would be faaar too high to be allowable, and thus not rankable.

Also, this map isn't really that challenging in comparison with a lot of other maps. Look around.

And contrary to popular belief, most everyone that plays this game has a life. No, really. Grow up, please.

I know... but only being half finished made me kinda... snap.

I'm not talking this game... I'm talking about ALL GAMES. Things like the people who memorized Through the Fire and Flames in Guitar Hero 3 and the people who own a actual DDR machine... not the people who play this game.

Also, I LOVE your quote... it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You had three quotes.

Also, people don't really remember every single beat on beatmaps in osu!. People like Saturos have this thing called skills. Skills are developed over a time of doing an action and usually increase the more the experience the person has with this action. osu! is obviously a game that requires a bit of dedication to master, thus consuming some time. Sure, we could spend time with it, but maybe we do it to entertain ourselfs.
I've seen couples (opposite sexes in fact!) at arcades playing DDR amazingly. And they were having fun.
Also many osuers such as our friend Saturos here has a job. I'm unsure if he spends his time in a basement or not, but he defiantly has an actual life.
Also, why are you even here, it seems like you're criticizing yourself like a hypocritical freak.
And how come I don't know who you are, you've obviously made something very good out of your life and must be a super successful business owner. And a famous actor. And you must also have lost your virginity at age 5 like all the other kool kidz/successful people.
Please show me what you have made of your life before attacking ours.
Oh, and my IQ is over 9000 digits long.
