This song has a very mild pacing curve.

00:30:133 (2,3) – This spacing feels a little big. The increase to ¼ rhythm already increases the intensity nicely, why do you need a bigger DS as well?

00:46:480 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1) – There's a lot of cool pitch changes going on here in the melody. There's a lot of opportunities to express these changes with a change in DS which I think would make a nice play experience.
01:39:172 (1) – similar instances

01:26:672 (2,1) – This flow is kind of awkward since the slider direction at the head changes direction very drastically. This has a very strong effect on the player, and I don't see anything in the music it goes with in this overall calm part. Try a rotation like: http://puu.sh/pvBgg/c91ca82d90.jpg

01:32:057 (1,3) – These notes feel unequally emphasized. Is there anything you can do to emphasize (1) more so that the huge change in intensity is a lot more clear? (Can you reduce the DS 01:30:903 (3,4) – or perhaps even consider making a slider somewhere in here?) If you can't emphasize (1) more, than the huge DS change into (3) feels a little too extreme relative to how much you built up, so it feels appropriate to nerf the DS a little (to maybe 6.50x?).

03:46:095 (3) – Why squiggle the bottom of this slider? You reserve the squiggle affect for 1/8 disruptions at 01:14:749 (3) - , so these feel slightly at odds with each other?

04:27:826 (1) – This downbeat is quite strong. Why give so little distance for it? The way it's mapped feels too weak.

04:30:518 (1) – To me, the overall tone of this section of the song feels too calm to support the big change in intensity you're going for, nor does this “drop” sound deserve such a huge change in spacing.

04:44:364 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) – Why use repetition in the flow? Starting a new flow structure on each NC feels like it would add something exciting and spontaneous in a similar way the double bass is rejuvenating the song. A similar kind of argument can be made from a broader perspective. This new section of the song is what 04:39:557 (2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2) – is building into, so new flow structures helps show the radical transition away from the calm section, where as repetition keeps the map calm.

Tl;dr: Sometimes you're too crazy, sometimes you're not crazy enough.

There's a lot of cool, expressive patterns in this map, so even though I don't enjoy the song, you make it nice to play. Good luck!

Nice to see some sakuraburst love on here.

(stole my song hmph)

f being finish, c being clap etc.

  1. 01:01:672 (1,1) - drum sampleset to suit the hard hitting sound (also keeps it consistent with 01:38:595 (1,2) - )
  2. 02:24:557 (1,2) - f-c to c-f due to higher to heavy sound(same as below)
  3. 02:27:441 (1,2,3,4) - f-c-c-f to c-c-f-f to emphasize the change from a high to heavy sound (kind of like a breakdown)
  4. 02:42:057 (2) - change addition from soft to auto to keep consistency from this and 02:35:903 (2) -
  5. 02:48:210 (2) - same as above (but add a whistle here)
  6. 04:42:441 (1,3) - change to drum sample.s +whistle here to keep consistency with the sound being hitsounded at 04:42:730 (2) - (also sounds pretty sweet)
will try and find more but this is all I could find in term of hitsounds :o

00:30:133 (2,3) – This spacing feels a little big. The increase to ¼ rhythm already increases the intensity nicely, why do you need a bigger DS as well? The spacing isn't that large when you account for the 1/2 leniency.

There's a lot of opportunities to express these changes with a change in DS which I think would make a nice play experience. The focus here is on the offbeat melody. The pitch changes are largely irrelevant, the offbeat melody already emphasizes them indirectly.

This has a very strong effect on the player, and I don't see anything in the music it goes with in this overall calm part. Try a rotation like: http://puu.sh/pvBgg/c91ca82d90.jpg Not happenin'. Slider's fine as it is.

(Can you reduce the DS 01:30:903 (3,4) – or perhaps even consider making a slider somewhere in here?) If you can't emphasize (1) more, than the huge DS change into (3) feels a little too extreme relative to how much you built up, so it feels appropriate to nerf the DS a little (to maybe 6.50x?). They're unusually emphasized because they're very powerful. I heavily disagree with using a slider for any of these notes, although I may decrease the spacing if other people feel it is too large as well.

03:46:095 (3) – Why squiggle the bottom of this slider? You reserve the squiggle affect for 1/8 disruptions at 01:14:749 (3) - , so these feel slightly at odds with each other? The flute quavers a bit at this point but without going full distortion-y. This is just a bit of a wiggle, it's not actually vibrating.

04:27:826 (1) – This downbeat is quite strong. Why give so little distance for it? The way it's mapped feels too weak. sure

04:30:518 (1) – To me, the overall tone of this section of the song feels too calm to support the big change in intensity you're going for, nor does this “drop” sound deserve such a huge change in spacing. There is no big change in intensity for a 1/1 section. This is just off to the side to emphasize the don hit.

04:44:364 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) – Why use repetition in the flow?

There is no particular flow here, it's just a mash section.

Tl;dr: Sometimes you're too crazy, sometimes you're not crazy enough.

There's a lot of cool, expressive patterns in this map, so even though I don't enjoy the song, you make it nice to play. Good luck!

cherryblossom just exploded.
00:43:210 (1,2) - try making the movement angle go downwards? the song pitch becomes lower, and it might fix the awkward overlap 00:42:441 (3,2) -
01:01:672 (1,1) - make the spacing wider. it feels a bit weak coz the slow part before this one had about the same spacing (visually)
01:27:057 (1,2) - :^)
01:39:172 (1,2,1,2) - i think itll be better if the white ticks are clickable coz there is more emphasis on it rather than your current pattern (which is missing some clickable beats)
01:42:249 (2,1,2,1,2) - same here.
and for similar parts -

01:51:672 (1) - i think the spacing is way too wide. 4.9x spacing lol. try ctrl g?
02:03:595 (1) - why NC? the song is still connected
02:03:883 (2,3) - blanket?
02:09:749 (3,4) - i dont think this overlap is a good idea.
02:10:518 (6) - NC? xd
02:21:480 (6,1) - blanket lol
02:29:845 - this super clickable beat bothers me lol try doing this. itll fix the missing beat http://puu.sh/px92j/12dfaaff92.jpg http://puu.sh/px91C/6787d02e34.jpg
02:35:518 (1,2) - same in here
02:41:672 (1,2) - and in here. btw fix the overlap. imo it looks bad
02:43:690 (2,3) - overlap. why did you stick to the usual lol this looks weird. imo this looks better http://puu.sh/px97q/29ada7505c.jpg
02:47:826 (1,2) - and similar parts.

02:54:749 (3) - space this out a BIT more to emphasize the louder piano note? :D
02:55:518 (1) - give this more spacing? like at least use 0.5x?
03:01:672 (1) - same for here.
03:07:826 (2,3) - i sorta expected this to be placed somewhere else coz of the song lol
03:48:018 (4) - NC?
04:25:133 (1) - try placing over in x261 y349
04:42:441 (1,2) - overlap bothers me tbh
04:54:941 (2,2) - this aint stacked and its bothering me
05:07:249 (2,1) - consider distancing this lol its so close to overlapping
05:20:133 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - this part feels randomly placed lol. it looks wonky and doesnt play all that well either?
05:34:749 (1) - continue combo
05:35:518 (4) - NC
05:43:980 (1) - vontinue combo
05:44:749 (4) - NC
05:47:057 (1) - continue combo
05:47:826 (3) - NC
05:53:980 (3) - NC
06:02:826 (5,6,7,8,1) - not keysounded ;c

Only responding to relevant points. Anything not mentioned or responded to or removed was either done without comment or just removed to save space and time.

General response: New combos largely ignored, mine are fine and well-structured, blankets fixed, some overlaps remove while others were made more clearly intentional and patterned.
I won't change the click rhythms to follow the bassline as that is not the point of this map, which is to follow the wubs and bass and distortions.

Offbeat is love, offbeat is life. I'd rather have the player experience the slightly-off sensation of offbeat patterning than have the extremely snooze-worthy white beat patterning.
01:51:672 (1) - i think the spacing is way too wide. 4.9x spacing lol. try ctrl g? It's fine.
02:54:749 (3) - space this out a BIT more to emphasize the louder piano note? :D It's pretty much the same piano note as always.

03:01:672 (1) - same for here. k
03:48:018 (4) - NC? ya
04:25:133 (1) - try placing over in x261 y349 k
04:42:441 (1,2) - overlap bothers me tbh intentional overlap, but moved a bit

Hey!

Fancy Modding Formatting

  • I find it a little offputting how you have 00:12:441 (1,2) - 00:14:748 (1,2) - these two at higher spacing than the one 00:13:594 (1,2) - in the middle of it, seemz kinda random and weird imo, would rather have the same higher spacing on all 3 of them (not lower cuz therez extra brass sound at bg xd) or make them all lower cuz thiss is the only point you do higher spacing like this
    00:50:133 - Yknow how you increase the spacing here because of the piano? Well why not -small- jumpz at 00:51:672 - 00:53:210 - too to follow that same logic? It'd be nicer to play imo
    01:50:903 (1,1) - These slightly touch and itz visible in game and triggered
    01:53:403 (2,3) - Blahblabhblanketz
    01:57:057 (1,1,2,3,1,1,2,3,1,1,2,3) - How about increasing spacing per pattern here to add emphasis to increasing pressure/build and pitch rising?
    01:59:364 (1,1,2) - I can NOT IGNORE that 5 note stream u didnt map right here, simply cant, itz way too obviouss
    02:20:807 (4) - Doeznt feel wubby or special enough how about this:
    Or anything thatz wubby or special
    02:29:749 (2,3) - alblakblkblanketz
    03:30:710 (2) - Kinda disagree with this being a slider cuz second ssound has higher pitch, i see you increassed the volume, but it doesnt feel right to tap, likewise, 03:30:903 - doeznt need a jump either, so how about a sstacked or low-spaced triple?
    05:22:441 (3,4) - 05:23:980 (3,4) - mapped to extra 1/4 sound which iz cool, 05:21:191 - so why miss thiz one out? Mistake?
    05:57:057 (1,2,1) - Is it just me or is this unusually low spaced (05:57:441 (2,1) - that part)
Thats it, not much but some changez could be done for a more e n j o y a b l e experience at times, take as you will.

if shiirn ddies, idk howi will ever map. this map is so spooky btw, makes me feel violated. also pls playy wth storybord and shit cuz it's sick . nice
Ongaku
ok

[lamentations of the past]

- 01:29:749 - Have you considered just adding a single note here? I mean, you can hear something on the white tick, so it should work.
- 01:44:364 (1,2,3,4,5) - I feel like making 01:44:364 (1,2) - a single 1/4 slider and 01:44:556 (3,4,5) - stack would make it feel more better, since the stream doesn't give off enough... "impact," if thats the right word.
- 02:16:191 (3) - Control+g this? I think it would feel better when you play it, since the feeling of moving from 02:15:903 (2) - to 02:16:191 (3) - would feel much smoother.
- 02:20:133 (1,2) - Make 02:20:133 (1) - a 1/4 slider so it can hit the element 02:20:230 - ? Missing this would feel weird, so I recommend you do it.
- 02:43:690 (2) - Control+g this one? It would feel kind of the same as transitioning to 02:44:267 (4,5) - .

[Conclusion]
To be honest, this song is so weird. It has a lot of tempo changes around the song, like 03:04:749 - is a 3/4 tempo change to 03:07:825 - , which is another 3/4 to 03:10:901 - , which is the final 3/4 in the section, up to 03:13:977 - which is 4/4. I would apply those tempo changes, just to keep things from being complicated in the timing section.

Thats all I can find so far, everything looks reasonable and good to go. Good luck!

Due to issues with posting while silenced, I lost my respons eto arphi's mod and am too lazy to go over it again. Know that I changed most everything except for the wubzy slider and the 5-note stream during the buildup.

Same with ongaku's except i did different things. ~lazy~ to re-say them all.


Also, re: the tempo changes, I honestly don't think anyone really wants to piece together what exactly is going on, i tried to do it early on and it was a hilariously awkward failure.... and the map is single-BPM anyway. Just feels like semantics really.

00:40:903 (1) - Use another color here? Purple really blends in with the storyboard here.
00:55:422 (3) - Is this supposed to be spaced like that? Just wonder, cuz it looked misplaced.
01:14:749 (3) - Sorry, I can't support this xP. Even though it makes sense with the song.
01:20:903 (1) - This one too. But this one's at least a bit better since it's not inside a loop. Basically, If this was posted on the BN discussion forum, I can see people potentially considering this acceptable, but the one before, I can't.
02:15:133 (5) - NC here, or remove it from 02:14:172 (1) - for consistency between patterns.,
02:27:826 (1,2) - Blanket's off.
02:32:633 (2,3,4) - The overlaps with the slider-borders really make this pattern look unpolished.
02:35:903 (2,3) - Blanket here is off too.
02:41:287 (4) - Spacing's off.
02:46:287 (1) - Try and use the approach circle to give the slider-head section a better blanket.
02:52:826 (2,3,4) - This spacing bugs me... as does 02:54:364 (2) - (though less obvious).
03:34:236 (1) - Snapping to 03:34:268 - sounds better... but tbh I'd just leave it out because it doesn't have any rhythmic value...
03:35:326 (1) - This whole section and onward is like, sliderbreak-heaven cuz of that slidertick right at the end of every slider xP. It's really bad for stuff like 03:44:172 (1,2) - where the movement you want to go to isn't the same movement as the sliderball, which causes the player to break more easily. If you want to keep these jumps, at least have the slider-shape match the flow in this section. Don't consider slider-leniency on sliders with a tick really near the slider-end because player's won't be able to use slider-leniency like they want to.
04:05:518 (1,2,3) - Is this uneven spacing intentional? xd why xd, why aren't the others 04:07:441 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - spaced like that then? I imagine it could have been for the pitch change or something.
05:20:133 (1,2,3,4) - The windup doesn't work well here when your spacing and jumps progressively decrease before picking up in the later combos...
05:45:326 (1) - xdd blanket. Use more nodes.

Okay good luck!

00:55:422 (3) - Is this supposed to be spaced like that? Just wonder, cuz it looked misplaced. yaeh made it even
01:14:749 (3) - Sorry, I can't support this xP. Even though it makes sense with the song.
01:20:903 (1) - This one too. But this one's at least a bit better since it's not inside a loop. Basically, If this was posted on the BN discussion forum, I can see people potentially considering this acceptable, but the one before, I can't. I'll try to make them less...questionable, i guess.
02:15:133 (5) - NC here, or remove it from 02:14:172 (1) - for consistency between patterns.,
02:27:826 (1,2) - Blanket's off.
02:32:633 (2,3,4) - The overlaps with the slider-borders really make this pattern look unpolished. I mean, if it bothers you that much and I can't scream *aesthetics* like you can, then fine.
02:35:903 (2,3) - Blanket here is off too.
02:41:287 (4) - Spacing's off.
02:46:287 (1) - Try and use the approach circle to give the slider-head section a better blanket.
02:52:826 (2,3,4) - This spacing bugs me... as does 02:54:364 (2) - (though less obvious).
03:34:236 (1) - Snapping to 03:34:268 - sounds better... but tbh I'd just leave it out because it doesn't have any rhythmic value...
03:35:326 (1) - This whole section and onward is like, sliderbreak-heaven cuz of that slidertick right at the end of every slider xP. It's really bad for stuff like 03:44:172 (1,2) - where the movement you want to go to isn't the same movement as the sliderball, which causes the player to break more easily. If you want to keep these jumps, at least have the slider-shape match the flow in this section. Don't consider slider-leniency on sliders with a tick really near the slider-end because player's won't be able to use slider-leniency like they want to.
04:05:518 (1,2,3) - Is this uneven spacing intentional? xd why xd, why aren't the others 04:07:441 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - spaced like that then? I imagine it could have been for the pitch change or something.
05:20:133 (1,2,3,4) - The windup doesn't work well here when your spacing and jumps progressively decrease before picking up in the later combos...
05:45:326 (1) - xdd blanket. Use more nodes.

Okay good luck!

pls i fixed the blanket of the second one and the start was completely obscuring the bulgy bit, and the first one only had the bend at the end changed in direction, which i think is neat

3 years ago says it all


times change, and music moves on. This kind of glitch mid-bass is not something you see very often even now, and even 3 years ago it was probably unheard of.



(not to mention that techniques such as this get ranked with no fanfare whatsoever fairly often, although they're admittedly less extreme than what is used here.)

Please don't let those sliders cause problems. I cannot imagine this map without them. They fit to the point that nothing can replace them without ruining that part of the map.

Imo 01:20:903 (3) - 01:27:057 (3) - are perfectly fine as there is a continous outline of the sliderpath and the wobble is also indicated by the shape.
But 01:14:749 (3) - is a burai and burais are not allowed for a good reason. Sure, at the slow sliderspeed it isn't a problem gameplaywise but the premise is that the player should always be able to tell how the sliderball goes at first glance of the shape and this is not the case for this slider because the wiggle-indicating change of slidershape is covered by the overlap. The wiggle itself fits nicely but in the interest of readibility+ranking criteria I think it'd be best if you used a more readable shape here - the other 6/1 sliders show that it's possible.

  1. 00:13:594 (1) - Pls snap.
  2. 00:51:672 (4) - 00:53:210 (3) - I feel like these circles should be emphasized since they land where that little chord hits in the music and because you emphasized it at 00:37:826 (3) - 00:43:980 (1) - 00:50:133 (3) - and 00:54:749 (1) -
  3. Topic about sliders like - 01:14:749 (3) - 01:20:903 (3) - 01:27:057 (3) -have been raised in the beatmap management forums and I just want to give my opinion on them.

    First of all, sliders like these aren't new, I'm assuming the issue is that the "glitched" part of it is not visible and can supposedly lead to sliderbreaks.

    Here's the thing though, the slider follow circle area is so massive that even if i sit at the edge of the sliderball the entire time, and keep a constant speed through the glitched part, i still survive without any sliderbreaks.

    Also, once a player notices that the slider does weird shit on the first one, they'll be prepared for the next two, so I really don't see the issue in them in terms of playability.

    Moving on,

  4. 01:32:057 (1,2,3) - I feel like this whole pattern should be moved a bit further from six, it helps with readability and emphasis imo.
  5. 01:32:633 (1) - Some hitsounding here to emphasize the "loudening" (xd) of the song would be nice.
  6. 01:53:595 (3) - Move this to 287|209? 2 and 4 are a little too close for comfort imo and I think that this looks much nicer.
  7. 01:53:980 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) - why so many NC's
  8. 02:15:326 (2) - Comparing this to 02:15:133 (1) - , I feel like 2 would make much more sense as 2 circles, since the 2 distinct drum hits that are masked by the wub sound on 1 are much more audible on 2, due to the lack of the wub sound of course.
  9. 02:28:307 (2) - Unsnapped?
  10. 02:29:749 (2) - Aaaa pls find a way to compliment that hit on the blue tick, maybe shorten by a tick, move it so it starts on the blue tick, and add a circle to the white tick?
  11. 02:30:566 (1) - Something really gimmicky you can do here is making this a double, with a circle on the white tick as well. It'll compliment a super quiet beat and help with accuracy.
  12. 02:33:210 (4,5) - It'd make for a good triple if you put a circle in between these to compliment the hit inbetween them.
  13. 02:35:903 (2) - Same as what I said above about the hit on the blue tick, I may have missed other times this happened so if you know of any others please fix them as well.
  14. 02:36:720 (1) - Same as what I said above about the double.
  15. 02:36:720 (1,1,2) - I'm a big fan of this.
  16. 02:42:057 (2) - Same as what I said above about the hit on the blue tick.
  17. 02:42:874 (1) - Same as the double lol, I'm gonna stop listing these, if you find other places with these same placements, pls adjust them accordingly.
  18. 02:45:518 (4,5) - You should know. xd
  19. 03:04:172 (4,5,6) - Is there a reason why the spacing isn't consistent? If not pls fix.
  20. 05:57:057 (1,2) - I don't understand what you're trying to compliment with 2, but it's pretty awkward. I'd just delete 2 and if there's actually something there, it's so negligible that it should just be complimented by the sliderend. I hear what you're trying to hit at 05:58:210 (1,2) - and the rest though.
  21. 07:10:518 (1,1) - This is definitely my personal opinion but I feel like the ending would be a lot more ominous if you ended with the sliderend and not a circle, I don't know why though lol it just works.
  22. There might be more unsnapped sliders beware, I'll edit this post if I run into more.

    Also, once a player notices that the slider does weird shit on the first one, they'll be prepared for the next two, so I really don't see the issue in them in terms of playability.

    The thing is, these sliders have two big functions to them.

    They are Unpredictable on first playthrough. This is penchantly unrankable and always has been. I've never been a fan of this rule. It's inane and boring and needlessly limiting to force mappers to assume that players will only play a map once. But on the other hand, maps shouldn't need to be memorized to be played. This is barely worth considering, in my eyes: They are the only 3 super-long bass sliders and every one of them has a glitch bit near the end. It's extremely predictable on secondary playthroughs because they are incredibly memorable. Out of all the plays, I'm sure that players remember these three sliders alongside the kiai and wub sections as the only memorable parts of the map. Nobody remembers the other bits quite as clearly - "that weird jumpy bit before the chorus?" for example.

    On the other hand, they are Completely playable on their first playthrough. They are designed to be a bit surprising, but no player that is not currently having a spontaneous seizure is going to sliderbreak on them, in which case they have bigger issues to deal with.


    Due to both of these factors, I'm of the opinion that fuck it, they're cool, they're fine. They shouldn't set a precedent and they shouldn't give mappers leave to copy it "because shiirn did it why can't i?". There are extenuating factors that outweigh the cons here, to me.




    Moving on,

  4. 01:32:057 (1,2,3) - I feel like this whole pattern should be moved a bit further from six, it helps with readability and emphasis imo. Disagree. Its closeness to 6 helps emphasize how big the spacing jump is for 1,2,3.
  5. 01:32:633 (1) - Some hitsounding here to emphasize the "loudening" (xd) of the song would be nice. ehhhhhh
  6. 01:53:595 (3) - Move this to 287|209? 2 and 4 are a little too close for comfort imo and I think that this looks much nicer. sure why not, not exactly where you said because no
  7. 01:53:980 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) - why so many NC's why not
  8. 02:15:326 (2) - Comparing this to 02:15:133 (1) - , I feel like 2 would make much more sense as 2 circles, since the 2 distinct drum hits that are masked by the wub sound on 1 are much more audible on 2, due to the lack of the wub sound of course. Disagree again. The 1/4 sliders here actually disconnect the drums from the player. I know it's a weird concept, but even when I'm mapping the drums I don't want the drums to be the focus.
  9. 02:28:307 (2) - Unsnapped? what the fuck even is this game
  10. 02:29:749 (2) - Aaaa pls find a way to compliment that hit on the blue tick, maybe shorten by a tick, move it so it starts on the blue tick, and add a circle to the white tick? NOT FOLLOWING THE DRUMS FUCK THE DRUMS LALALALALALAA
  11. 02:30:566 (1) - Something really gimmicky you can do here is making this a double, with a circle on the white tick as well. It'll compliment a super quiet beat and help with accuracy. Fuck gimmicking this. There is no beat on the white tick. And I'm not going to force one.
  12. 02:33:210 (4,5) - It'd make for a good triple if you put a circle in between these to compliment the hit inbetween them. Again, not following the god damn drums >.<
  13. 02:35:903 (2) - Same as what I said above about the hit on the blue tick, I may have missed other times this happened so if you know of any others please fix them as well. Ain't shit to fix mate! They're staying the way they are.
  14. 02:36:720 (1) - Same as what I said above about the double. Ain't shit to fix mate! They're staying the way they are.
  15. 02:36:720 (1,1,2) - I'm a big fan of this. Hi a big fan of this i'm dad
  16. 02:42:057 (2) - Same as what I said above about the hit on the blue tick. I'm going to ignore these from now on.
  17. 02:42:874 (1) - Same as the double lol, I'm gonna stop listing these, if you find other places with these same placements, pls adjust them accordingly.
  18. 02:45:518 (4,5) - You should know. xd
  19. 03:04:172 (4,5,6) - Is there a reason why the spacing isn't consistent? If not pls fix. To have 5 be directly behind 2 and still have increased movement. The exact spacing is fine, it increases over time and curves interestingly.
  20. 05:57:057 (1,2) - I don't understand what you're trying to compliment with 2, but it's pretty awkward. I'd just delete 2 and if there's actually something there, it's so negligible that it should just be complimented by the sliderend. I hear what you're trying to hit at 05:58:210 (1,2) - and the rest though. Those 2s are the entire reason the chorus is the chorus. If you can hear the second one and beyond, it should be obvious why the first one is this way even if it's a little softer. The chorus has more advanced and swingy slider movement and the addition of those 2s to make the rhythm even more complex. It's a perfect fit for the kiai.
  21. 07:10:518 (1,1) - This is definitely my personal opinion but I feel like the ending would be a lot more ominous if you ended with the sliderend and not a circle, I don't know why though lol it just works. You know what? Fuck it sure, I was getting whiny bitch complaints that the suddenly extremely slow slider was unreadable anyway. This fixes all the issues.

Nice map, GL o/
as far as improvements go, some uppity guys with sticks up their asses replacing their spines will tell you to be less casual and more formal, but fuck 'em, mapping and modding is, and should be, fun, and there's nothing like a fun conversational mod to get the creative juices flowing. Everyone's too rigid nowadays, maaaaan, and they know fuck all because they limit themselves to their comfy little bubble with the simple basic concepts that fit the Double-Damocles meta of PP mapping and qualification phases. Break the chains, etc etc. 8-)

What's an upscaled MP3?
I decided to buy the album, cause I enjoyed this song enough. The screenshot is a comparison of the waveforms of a FLAC, a freshly transcoded 192kbps MP3, the one Spaghetti linked, and the file you have currently. The top two are mine, the bottom two yours and Spaghetti's. The two 192's are more or less the same. The 128 you have currently really isn't much worse either, though, so whether you take the 192 or not probably doesn't matter.

That's what i get for not comparing them side-by-side, i guess. I'll look into upping the quality.


EDIT: listening to the FLAC, 192, and 128, the quality difference is negligible. The bass is a bit stronger, but it's already plenty deep in 128kbps.
