Well I didn't wanted to mod nothing before my exams, so here it is. Just few quick suggestions from me~
- Unrankable issues
- My opinion which I highly recommend changing it
- Small suggestions/Nazi
[General]
- Disable widescreen support on Easy and Normal for unification of option.
- Why not add 'X-mas' to the tags? Some people may search beatmaps using this keyword.
- Mostly hitsound suggestions, the pattern and flow looks good already.
- 00:18:803 (2) - Honestly I don't see what is the whistle at the tail of this slider is following. It kinda feels out of place compared to other upbeats... Well it is not a problem if this was following something at least.
- 00:22:395 (3,2) - A really, really, minor thing. Since you didn't have this kinds of 'just-a-bit-touching overlaps' in the whole map after this, you may want to re-arrange the pattern to avoid that. And yes, it is visible in play mode due to the AR.
- 00:25:987 (3) - Possibly you could add a whistle onto the head of this slider as the vocal is strong here.
- 00:29:580 (3) - You've coulda used drum sampleset on the repeat of this slider as well as it is in the same drumroll like the head and the tail.
- 00:43:949 (3) - Similar to what you've did at 00:29:580 (3) - , you should try to use drum sampleset on the head and the tail(possibly also the repeat if you are taking my suggestion at 00:29:580 (3) - ) for consistency and to emphasize the drumrolls.
- And so on with the 'add whistle' or 'use this' w/e. Just sharing my opinion, I feel the whistles could have been better emphasized if they were just placed every big white ticks in the kiai, but what you have did right now is also fine.
- 00:29:580 (4,5) - You know, I feel that two 1/1 sliders aren't enough to emphasize the drumroll in the background properly... Just my opinion on this, but you may want to add a circle on the missing red ticks to emphasize the drumrolls. Or at least just the first red tick to avoid a long chain of 1/2 notes.
- 00:34:968 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5) - Damn all these notes are hard to follow when the previous notes were all on the beat I can see that you are trying to follow here, but this may just throw beginners off as almost none of the notes here are actually on beat :/ I can't think of an example if you insist on following the vocals though... I would just make 00:37:887 (3,4) - these 2 a 1/2 repeated slider which starts at 00:37:662 - .
- Well just saying, is changing up the NC patterning at kiai allowed? I didn't know that was possible
- 00:45:520 - It feels weird to have the drumrolls here unmapped when 00:43:949 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - these did map it out. Just saying for the consistency's sake.
- Other than that, looks all good By far this is the best difficulty out of them all lols
