Nothing technically wrong with the map that will prevent this map from being ranked, but the linear mapping style of the map is not very entertaining. I mostly pointed out a few minor nitpicks that can be used to improve your map, but if you really want to improve it, you will probably have to remap a lot of the maps. Star.

All done and yes I know I almost only used linear sliders I guess because I don't know how to make good slider with bezier, I'll work on making this more entertaining, anyways thanks for the advice ~

One tip for you. Hitsounds doesn't sound great if they are placed white to red tick most of the time. You should give some space between hitsounds ._.;;

Done, no I didn't cut the mp3 and er...okk, thanks for the advice.

This difficulty feels lackluster to me. I just think you should map more to the flow of the song and the vocals than just the lame 1/2 streams you have here at the moment. To be honest, I don't think I'm good at doing insane but I'll probably change some things there and here and stuff ~

Looks fine, but has an overkill of Clapping Hitsounds. The map is not much challenging either.


Try to be creative and create patterns with the Hitsounds. The best way is just go with the song and add Hitsounds where appropriate.
The maps seems straightforward; it's nice and short, nothing special or anything.
Other than that, Star~

No problem By the way, you might wanna change this thread's title while you're at it.

1. For timing, I got offset: 796. the BPM is fine though
2. Your combobursts are too wide. the max size for combobursts are the size of the default one, which is 388x787, which yours are 500x500. Perhaps shrink them down so it fits right?
3. I see what you were trying to do with the difficulty names, but for most people, especially those who don't get the reference, like me, they don't work well as diff names. Maybe you could put an Easy/Normal/Hard/Insane next to each name? (e.g. "Italia (Easy)", or "Nihon (Normal)"?

Fixed ~

[ITALIA]

Layout is rather bland, lots of straight lines, but I couldn't see anything technically wrong. I know...I'm just too lazy to ehh...remap ?? But anyways I finally did it ~

[NIHON]

Same as Italia, nothing technically wrong, but it laid out in a boring way. too many straight lines and right angles. ^

[DOITSU]

More interesting than Italia/Nihon, but could've use a bit more spice and interesting patterns to liven it up ^ (:

[HERO!]

00:24:477 (1,2) - It's a tiny gripe, but it looks ugly compared to the rest of the map here. Mind closing this gap? Fixed + ^

Overall, There isn't much wrong. Everything is solid and works fine, but it's kinda bland. It is your first map, so I won't bother you about it, but maybe in your next map, you could experiment more with slider shapes and patterns you could put your beats in. An interesting layour can make a map so much more fun without adding any extra beats. It helps making mapping more fun too That said, for your first map, it's nice, so good job Thanks for the advice and everything ~ I'll try to improve my map but not just with the layout but with other stuff ~

First queue attempt FTW!!

Italia(Easy)

00:06:421 (2) - Off placed very slightly. Move it down 1 unit (aligns it with the previous slider) and then turn both grid and distance snap off for the next change and move it slightly closer to the previous note so that it is roughly 1 and 2/3rds unit from the previous note. That may be hard to visualize. Another method is to use the vertical axis as a guide. In my alteration the start of this note has 4 and 2/3rds units on the left side and 3 and 1/3rd units on the right side.

http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/21729

Lot of effort put into something you most likely wont even change, but I don't care. I couldn't clarify myself in an easily interpreted way.

I actually did it, looks better, but I will like you to check if I did it okk :3

Nihon(Normal)

Eh it's fine as far as I see.

I have a couple mini suggestions that you may want to look into.

00:14:858 (4,1) - Did you not align these on purpose? If you did, it is perfectly okay. I can't make a determination whether aligning these notes and the notes included in the shift looks better than the altered version or if it makes a difference. I'll just include a fix to realign these notes.

00:15:796 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5) - Move these left 1 unit to fix the alignment. This wont fix it entirely. My next suggestion rquires a deviation of your patterns a tad that might spice up your patterns better regardless if you chose to shift the notes to realign or keep the misalignment. So consider this next suggestion separate but related to the above one.

00:20:014 (5,1,2,1) - I think that the straight implementation of 1,2 is a little bland. I think it would play and look better if this notes were placed in a fancy curving pattern. http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/21731

I did this by moving 00:21:889 (1) - 2 units to the right of 5 with distance snap on. 00:22:358 (2) - was placed diagonally from it. Exact specs is hard to explain. There is probably multiple positions that would work for note 2. The center right edge of note 2 in the screenshot is 3 units up and 5 units left from the top center edge of note 1. 00:22:827 (1) - in the screenshot is positioned roughly 2 units higher than 00:21:889 (1) - or 5 units lower and 2 units to the left of note 2. After you have those positioned in the pattern, realign 00:23:061 (2,3) - these back with 00:22:827 (1) - .

To complete the look, I suggest that you make 00:23:296 (3,4,1) - more curved to look like this. http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/21736
See how note 1 is placed in an adjacent position to note 3 and 4 is right in the middle? Design it to look something like that.

Tell me if your interested in this change and if my instructions have confused you in any way. I'll gladly help you out.

Everything done ~ Check it, so I know if I did it right please ??

Doitsu(Hard)

00:02:436 (4) - I really think this belongs on a 1/8th tick. Try placing it on 00:02:378 -.

00:10:171 (1) - Move down 1 unit

00:28:452 - Add a note here? It doesn't have to be a slider. Just a regular note. I just feel that there is an awkward gap here and it throws off the pace when I go into the spinner.

http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/21738
All done ~

HERO! (Insane)

00:01:733 (3,1) - Stack this better? It's stacking weird.

00:07:358 (1) - Move this back to 00:07:124 -

Very fun beatmaps. Short but fun to play. Only gets better the harder the difficulty due to the relaxing nature of the maps. I'm looking forward to this getting ranked. Stared.

Esto, ehhh, no es para nada un insane, te aviso de inmediato, es bastante fácil. Para aumentar la dificultad, usa notas en 1/4 y agranda la distancia entre las notas en 1/2. Ehh...he pensado en re-mappear esta diff, porque dicen que es muy facil :/
Ah, lindos sliders~! Gracias :3
00:04:546 (1) - Para aumentar la dificultad, podrías agregar notas en 1/4 (lineas azules) en lugar de este slider. Podrían ser repeat sliders o una stream.

No hice nada de lo que sugeriste, pero no fue porque no estuviera de acuerdo sino que como que quise re-mappear esta diff :3

Al poner los finish, ponle un poco más de atención a la música de fondo.

* 01:03:320 (3) - Delete this note then make 01:03:554 (4) start where (3) was?
* 01:38:007 (2) - Spacing

[Doitsu]

Increase approach rate by a notch or two. I'd suggest more normally but having a slower rate does indeed fit the song.

6. 02:14:530 (10) - Add a clap only to the beginning of this slider.
7. 02:28:123 (x) - Maybe another note here as well?

1. comboburst-0: The width is 650px. The max is 500. Resize!

[HERO!]

1. 00:11:951 (x) - Add a note here?
2. 00:51:795 (8) - New combo.
3. 00:55:780 (6) - ^
4. 01:01:405 (1) - Add a finish
5. 02:13:826 (x) - Imo, it would sound and look better if there was a note here.
6. 02:14:530 (10) - Add a clap only to the beginning of this slider.
7. 02:28:123 (x) - Maybe another note here as well?

Done ~

[Other things to point out]

1. comboburst-0: The width is 650px. The max is 500. Resize!
2. star: Rename "star" to "star2". "star" is only for the difficulty stars on the song select screen.

Excuse me, but your combobursts are all the wrong size and a few of them are just simply bad quality. Preview point should be at 00:23:905 (?). Around +10ms on the offset also, I believe. 01:56:717 - Kiai placement here is inconsistent with the rest of the song. It should start at 02:04:217.

Oh, I just noticed this. Add a new offset at 116,727 to fix the metronome. Don't kudosu this post, by the way.
