So the forums won't let me post with editing, so I had to double-post ;-;

Maybe call me back after you get few more mods :3
Anyway that's all for me, GL!
[General]
- Looks like 'normal-slidertick2.wav' isn't used in any of the difficulties, please remove it if there is no use to that file.
- If there's 'billards' in the tags, why not add 'darts' and 'poker' to the tags as well? They are in the background too :3
- 00:07:216 - to 00:14:122 - For all difficulties, there are no snare sound actually present in this section, yet there are claps to emphasize those 'snares'. They shouldn't be emphasizing that as the only drum instrument in the background is the kicks, so I recommend you to add kicks to every downbeat, to follow the song better.
- 00:27:072 (3) - A clap should be present on the tail of this slider as there's a snare, unless this was meant for something else. But I would like the hitsounds to be consistently emphasizing the snares, so I would recommend you to add a clap if possible.
- 00:36:568 (3) - Maybe you could curve the slider like you did on 00:29:662 (3) - , to emphasize on the same vocal 'syllabus'.
- 00:58:799 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - Although they play out fine, the sudden change in what you are following might throw some beginners off, as they can't get adapted to too many rhythms. To avoid this from happening, I would follow the similar rhythm like you did on 00:45:202 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - for consistency, so that beginners get what they expect.
- Well other than that, solid difficulty
- 00:12:396 (1,2,3) - In Cup you followed both of the trumpet sound sections, but in Salad you didn't do it here. Even when compared with 00:05:489 (2,3,4,5,6) - , they are of the same synth, so I believe the rhythm should be like this, to follow consistency.
- 00:24:482 (1) - I believe a finish goes to the head of this slider if this is following the same hitsounding pattern.
- 00:27:504 (6) - Same like I'd mentioned in Cup, a clap should be here for the same reason.
- 00:46:065 (2) - I'm probably just repeating what koliron said, but I do feel this slider in particular doesn't require too much repeats on it to produce more movement. This is very nitpicky, but the vocal's intensity on this slider compared to the other notes are a little bit less - so in order to reflect on that tiny detail, I believe you could just make this a 1/1 slider.
- 01:13:691 (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - I understand all other streams because they are all clearly heard in the background, but for this, the 1/4 drum beats are not quite clear, so in a low difficulty like this, it might be just increasing the note density unnecessarily. I believe the rhythm should be simple and easy to follow(not following the faint sounds), so this stream could be replced with just simple 1/2 sliders, then at 01:14:554 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - , the rhythm could be altered in this way, to follow the hearable toms in the background.
- 01:17:612 (3,4) - I was wondering why's the movement so hard here, but then I realised (3) is snapped to one of the 1/12 ticks LOL Fix this pls o.o Right now because of this the dash is really hard for Salad players.
- 00:14:770 (3,4,5) - I believe the triplet here should be removed, as all other rhythms(example at 00:18:223 (3) - ), you didn't emphasize this same beat. And after this triplet 50% of your other triplets emphasize on the vocals, not on this beat, making the rhythm inconsistent.
- 00:17:252 (5) - Same goes here, this specific sound isn't emphasized on all other rhythms, so I would remove this note for consistency.
- 00:20:381 (4) - And here too, as the 1/4 rhythm isn't emphasized on all other rhythms once again, I would remove the repeat and instead create 2 circles on 1/2 rhythm for consistency.
- 00:21:353 - Speaking of the triplets following the vocals, you could add a circle here as the vocals land here.
- Tl;dr I would like to see those triplets being used consistently, whether they are following the vocals, the drums, or both. Tbh I don't actually hear any 1/4 drum beats in this section of the song(except those streams), so I believe the 1/4 vocals should be the only thing getting emphasized(hence my suggestions).
- 00:27:504 (4) - Like I've mentioned in the other 2 difficulties, a clap should be added.
- 00:44:338 (3) - You could give a little bit more curve to this slider to emphasize better on the vocals like you did on 00:42:612 (3) - . Vertical slider here feels really plain imo.
- 00:59:230 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - I had to make this bold because this really is overmapping. In the background, there is certainly no drum/vocals/any other instrument you want to name it is not even landing on any of the blue ticks. Even when heard at 75% or 50% playback rate you certainly can't hear anything on the blue ticks(delete all notes). Same goes for 01:00:957 (3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - , with the same reason for having no instruments or vocals to support it. I would change up the entire rhythm to be following the secondary vocals, to keep consistency with the other difficulties, like this(00:58:799 (4,5) - these were also affected), then adding hypers to 00:58:799 - , 01:00:525 - and 01:02:468 - .
- 01:14:554 (1,2,1,2) - If you followed my suggestion on Salad at 01:14:554 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - , then on this rhythm it should be emphasizing the same thing(the toms), for consistency. I mean, since this is a harder difficulty than Salad, it could be good if the rhythm here was more intense than Salad, so altering the rhythm in a similar way could better fit the spread.
- 00:03:331 (2) - Does this note really deserve the hyper? I mean, the only prominent sound that it has is the open hi-hat sound, not like the other hypers where they have cymbals and trumpets supporting them. The long slider's shape can be changed to this, so that it gets closer to (2).
- The inconsistent 1/4 rhythm usage from Platter applies in this difficulty as well, check over them. Well most of the troubling notes are similar, so it shouldn't be too hard to catch them. If I were to point out a few of them :
- 00:14:770 (2,3,4) - Like mentioned in Platter, for the same reason (3) should be removed.
- 00:17:144 (3,4) - 00:20:597 (6,7,8,9) - This were following the consistent drum beat nicely, but from 00:24:051 (5) - the consistency is broken. Since again, there are no actual 1/4 drum beats landing on those blue ticks of the mentioned streams, I would remove the circles in the blue tick.
- 00:21:353 - Like I'd mentioned in Platter again, a circle here would be good to follow that vocal syllabus.
- 00:27:504 (5) - Just mentioning the hitsound irrelevant to the overmapping point) like I mentioned in all other difficulties, a clap should be added for the same reason.
- 00:45:417 (2,3,4) - And again, like mentioned in Platter, no beats of the drums or the vocals are actually landing on those blue ticks. I again strongly recommend you to simplify the rhythm into 1/2s, the usage of this 1/4 rhythm could be questionnable for DQs. And this applies to all other similar streams(like 00:47:144 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - , 00:59:230 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - , etc.), so apply the changes to them as well.
- 00:57:504 (2) - You are totally missing out on the clap on the tail of this slider lol
- 01:12:180 (4) - I believe this note doesn't deserve a hyper, as the vocal's pitch isn't too strong like it was on 01:10:669 (5) - , unless this is following something else.
- 01:15:741 - A tom is heard in the background on this tick, so you might want to add it in, considering this is the hardest difficulty.
Maybe call me back after you get few more mods :3
Anyway that's all for me, GL!
