Salad
Good luck! (:
General Comments:
- Song Folder: No issues
- Song Setup: HP3 seems a bit low for a Salad... I assume this is intentional - since it's the easiest difficulty, it does make it more accessible to beginners, but I feel HP4 isn't too punishing here. On HP3 it's possible to pass with less than 75% accuracy xD

Salad
- 00:33:205 (6) - Not sure a triplet really fits here as I can't hear anything justifying a beat on that 5/6 tick. However, there's a much clearer drum sound in the previous beat at 00:32:800 so I'd consider placing the triplet here instead
- 00:37:597 (5,1,2,3) - Antiflow between these two pairs is a little too much for a Salad in my opinion. Consider reducing the distance between these, or alternatively, making one pair move to the right instead, e.g. here - (3) is stacked under (1)
- 01:13:813 (1) - Due to the prominence of the strong snare drum sound, I feel this plays better as a circle on the downbeat. 01:13:408 (4) plays well as a a slider because of the short, higher-pitched violin sound there, but this note doesn't have the same effect to me
- 01:15:435 (1) - ^
- 01:17:868 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - "Tap" spacing is kinda awkward and unfitting here imo, since this is all part of the same drumroll and notes are of equal prominence. I personally feel making this into a smoother movement would be better, but if you do want a slightly more challenging pattern, a direction change or increased spacing between 01:18:138 (5,6) would fit better, since the drum roll is played as two 1/3 triplets
- 01:24:354 (1,2,3) - No dash is required for any of the previous combos between 01:18:678 and here, and suddenly dash is required consecutively. I get that this section is really prominent and you want to keep these, so maybe a dash or two in the previous combos would lessen the difficulty spike here which has potential to catch the player unaware.
- 02:01:651 (3) - Spacing here is right on the border of requiring dash, which has the potential to confuse newer players. Since this is a weaker beat, consider reducing the spacing a little here. 02:01:651 (3,4) to x-232 works better
- 02:08:137 (3) - ^ Whatever you use with the suggestion above, do the same thing here, since the spacings on 02:07:326 (1,2,3,4) are currently quite a bit different from 02:00:840 (1,2,3,4) - currently the movement to (3), the weakest beat, is the largest, which leaves this section feeling inconsistent with your previous patterns
- 02:14:624 (3,4) - Same idea again, since this one is a direct copy of 02:00:840 (1,2,3,4) - 02:14:624 (3,4) to x-280 gives the same effect as I suggested for the original case
- 02:29:624 (4) - Increased distance to this to emphasise the snare drum sound would be nice
- 00:33:138 (6,1) - There was a triple here in the Salad, but just a 1/3 doublet in the Platter lol. Suggest you do the same things as I suggested there, adding a circle at 00:32:800
- 00:35:976 (6,7) - Reduce the distance to this doublet from 00:35:705 (5) a little please, since that note combines a strong dash to reach it with a direction change after it, which is a little uncomfortable to play
- 00:37:665 (6) - ^ Triplet fits better at 00:37:192 in my opinion, there are more prominent notes in the music to support it that there are here
- 00:37:597 (5,6,1) - If you keep the current pattern, consider reducing the distance a little to here, I feel it's a bit too strong than is required for the music it's mapping
- 00:58:340 - Kick drum sound here, consider adding a note
- 01:13:408 (4,5,1) - Since the music is quite calm here, I feel this much wiggling is a bit unnecessary. 01:13:678 (5) is a strong note, but I think that moving it to x-296 is enough here
- 01:28:137 (3) - I can't hear a sound in the music to justify this, but there's a really prominent snare+cymbal sound 1/3 later at 01:28:273 so I suggest moving this note here instead
- 02:25:840 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Spacing on these doubles feels a little random to me - the resulting pattern has the effect of a smooth curve, but with an odd-looking "kink" at 02:26:381 (5,6) that breaks the flow a little. Consider making into a smoother curve, or two triplets with a jump between them for a slightly trickier pattern
- 02:31:381 (2) - I can't hear a sound in the music to justify this, please remove it
- 02:33:003 (3) - ^ You didn't map a note at 02:39:489 or 02:52:462 which is the same pattern
- 02:37:868 (2) - 02:44:354 (2) - 02:45:976 (3) - 02:50:841 (2) - ^ Same rhythm as before, notes aren't justified
- 02:54:354 (1) - 02:55:976 (1) - 02:57:597 (1) - 02:59:219 (7) - Whilst these hdashes are fine from a ranking criteria perspective, I don't feel they need to be this strong since the music is quite calm. Reducing the distance to each of these a little would be more fitting - ~2.8x DS works nicely, potentially slightly higher (~3.0x) for the last one
- 00:04:354 (2) - A smaller distance from (1) would be welcome here since the dash between 00:03:881 (7,1) is quite strong - 00:04:354 (2,3) to x-52 feels better to me
- 00:23:949 (1) - This hdash is a little stronger than it needs to be in my opinion, and it's making the return jump to 00:24:219 (2,3) pretty uncomfortable. Try moving to x-72
- 00:25:030 (6) - This is also a little uncomfortable to dash to, try reducing the distance to here a little please
- 00:29:557 (7) - There's no beat in the music to support this triplet, please remove this note
- 00:33:205 (6) - As in the other diffs, this triplet note fits better at 00:32:800
- 00:38:138 (3) - This is annoying to dash to as it has a high chance of resulting in droplet misses. Rotate 180 degrees and Ctrl+G this please
- 00:41:043 (2,3,4,5,6) - I don't hear any 1/6 here
- 00:44:557 (4) - Again, I don't hear a beat here you can justify mapping here
- 00:58:340 - But there's a note here you could map for a triplet! (^:
- 01:04:151 (2) - No beat here, but there are drum beats at 01:04:422 - 01:04:692 and 01:05:638
- 01:24:084 (10) - Nothing here either
- 01:28:408 (5) - I'd curve this a little more to reduce the distance to 01:28:814 (1) whilst still maintaining the hyper. The direction change to 01:29:084 (2,3) after the hyper is kinda tricky currently
- 02:04:016 (5) - 02:10:502 (5) - 02:16:989 (5) - 02:23:475 (5) - Aside from the fact that there are no note in the music here, these triplets feel so artificial and really don't fit with the music at all in my opinion. Please remove them ;w;
- 02:13:138 - Prominent beat unmapped here, part of a drumroll at 02:12:867 (1,2,3,4)
- 02:26:786 - Regarding overmapping, from here until 02:52:732 the same suggestions as in the Platter apply, since you used a similar timleine
Good luck! (:
