00:28:365 (1,2) - Not very important, but you might be able to make this look nicer with the blanket
00:51:442 (1,2) - again, I don't like modding blankets, but this can be nicer
01:07:750 (5,6,1) - TBH this pattern looks a little bit lazy and unappealing. I don't care much about the overlap, but the flow isn't very nice.
01:09:904 (2) - Slight movement of the sliderend to x461 y209
01:18:212 (5,6) - I'm not sure what the rules are on this, but Idk about these sliders for "Normal" difficulty, especially under 2*
01:59:135 (2) - Same as this. I think you can make this a single cirlce
02:04:058 (2) - ^
02:13:442 (2,3) - This pattern will be very confusing for a beginner
00:06:519 (2,3) - 00:26:827 (7,1) - 00:40:365 (4,5) - These patterns will also be too much for Normal. But I'm not too sure how you could change it to the beat
01:09:904 (2,6) - I know I made a mod to the position of this but now that I think about it, I think for normal difficulty they should be single circles

00:51:442 (4,5,1) - You use different spacing here than you do here 00:52:365 (3,4,5) - with the same pattern. I assume intentional, but maybe explain? D:
01:16:365 (3) - Possible give this part a little bit more flow and give the slider some curve (optional) Something like this
01:34:212 (3,4) - move to x211 y272
01:47:442 (1) - ctrl + j like you have it here 01:59:135 (7,1) -
01:49:289 (3,1,2) - The spacing between these are different, you can just move 01:49:596 (1,2) - up a little bit if you want
02:14:827 (5,6,7,8,1) - Personally on this part I feel you should go a little bit easier and make this 2 sliders and a circle for the end. Reasoning is that you don't have any other part in the map where you do this, but if you have a good reason for it then keep!

00:28:365 (1,2) - Not very important, but you might be able to make this look nicer with the blanket Good enough to me
00:51:442 (1,2) - again, I don't like modding blankets, but this can be nicer Same here, no problem with the blanket

01:18:212 (5,6) - I'm not sure what the rules are on this, but Idk about these sliders for "Normal" difficulty, especially under 2* It gives a different ryhtym and it's something pretty common in normals.
01:59:135 (2) - Same as this. I think you can make this a single cirlce
02:04:058 (2) - ^
02:13:442 (2,3) - This pattern will be very confusing for a beginner I'll wait other complains for a changement cause it just follows the movement.
00:06:519 (2,3) - 00:26:827 (7,1) - 00:40:365 (4,5) - These patterns will also be too much for Normal. But I'm not too sure how you could change it to the beat

00:51:442 (4,5,1) - You use different spacing here than you do here 00:52:365 (3,4,5) - with the same pattern. I assume intentional, but maybe explain? D: Pattern might be somehow similar, the music is different and I feel it calls for a speed up in the first one. The hitsounds clearly show it.
01:16:365 (3) - Possible give this part a little bit more flow and give the slider some curve (optional) Something like this Flow is good
01:34:212 (3,4) - move to x211 y272 not sure why but.. .why not x:
01:47:442 (1) - ctrl + j like you have it here 01:59:135 (7,1) - It offers some variations and tbh I prefer the flow of that one xD

Mod for your queue

Unfading Nightmares:
overall i dont like your use of kicksliders, most of the time circles would be better i think
00:01:289 (1,2,1) - feels like a circle should be on the white tick if you're following that rhythm
00:04:981 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5) - kinda awkward to play line patterns
00:11:135 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1) - same as first, its even more confusing cause the slider is so close it feels like it should be tapped a half beat after instead of a full one
00:22:827 (3,4) - i think circles fit better for these notes
00:27:750 (3,4,1,2) - ^
00:44:212 (7) - ^
00:44:981 (5,6,7,8) - kinda awkward to sight read, these look like theyre 1/4 apart
00:47:289 (1,2,3) - not sure what you mapped this to, seems overmapped
00:52:212 (1,2,3,4,1,2) - ^ and i think kicksliders are unneeded here too, the previous pattern like this seemed to hold notes for 1/4 while this holds for 1/2 though i might be imagining things
00:57:135 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - ^
01:14:827 (1,2) - cirlces for these too
01:19:289 (3,4,5,6) - ^
01:28:673 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4) - i think more uniform spacing fits the song better
01:38:673 (2,3,4) - not sure what you mapped this to, seems overmapped
01:41:289 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - its just a consisent 1/4 in the song, i think a big stream fits better
01:44:365 (1) - circle for this too
01:46:981 (4) - ^
01:51:442 (1,2,3,4) - continue the stream
02:06:365 (2,3,4) - circles for this too
02:11:135 (3,4,1,2) - ^
Aia's insane:
this seems a lot better, not as much to say
00:19:750 (1,2,3,4,5,1) - you suddenly switch off of the rhythm you were following for no good reason it seems
00:54:519 (3,4) - ^
00:58:212 (2,3,4) - ^
01:05:289 (1,2) - overmapped?
01:47:135 (1) - this is the most intense part of the song, but there isnt a difficulty spike to match
01:49:596 (1,2,3,4) - for example you could make this a stream to create mentioned difficulty spike
01:54:058 (6,7,8) - overmapped
i suck at mapping below 4* so ill stop with these diffs

sry if this wasnt very helpful, this is my first mod and this song is more complex rhythmically than what ive mapped

You said "streams would be better" may I ask you why?

00:20:058 (5,6,7,8) - maybe emphasize the drum roll somehow As it's the last note of of that DS I feel that it's already doing its job, not to mention that it's a stream, hence you do hit the note.
00:28:212 (2,1,2,1,2,1) - this flow is too hard for mouse or i'm probably bad, maybe some testplays on this would be useful. Well, ya. I don't have that much problem with it myself so I don't know, we'll see.
00:33:827 - you missed a 3stack that you usually do not ignore, this is probably a mistake. I didn't place it all the time (cf. 00:28:519 (2,1,2,1,2) - 00:23:442 (1,2,3,4,5) -
00:40:135 - 00:40:442 - as there are beats here maybe turn 00:40:058 (5,8) - into kicksliders. Well, they're barely audible (and I'm not even sure there actually is a beat on the first point) so I prefer to emphasize the beats that are more noticable than usual than putting a full stream which would hide it.
00:52:519 - 00:52:596 - 00:52:673 - because of these 3 beats the pattern feels weird, maybe a use of 3stack won't hurt. I used the same pattern at the same rhythm placement the whole map though..
00:54:519 (3) - this slider kinda feels random, i'd transform it into circles. Since the rhythm changes from the first section I didn't want to make it too heavy and put more sliders (cf. 00:53:904 (7) - ) rather than full circles, it separates the first part to the second this way.
00:55:442 (1) - my recommendation is to keep the DS from 00:54:827 (4,5,6,7) - this pattern going even for this pattern, it would look better and play better imho. Or place it somehow so that it is circled around by those single taps. Fixed a bit the placement
01:04:596 (2,1) - ugh i don't think that the hanzer stream is suitable here, I'd use a blue tick kick slider lul. I think it fits and I like how those "hanzer streams" plays actually, as long as it's not TOO spaced.
01:04:827 (1,2) - jump is way too sudden, i think it's the highest jump in the map lol ?? no. there's a 1/2 gap. It's exactly the same distance as 01:05:135 (2,1) - and 00:56:212 (7,8) - is way higher for just an example. You might have thought this was a 1/4 gap? Because it really does play by itself.
01:05:289 (1,3) - fix blanket Blanket seems fine to me.
01:14:596 - is as strong as 01:14:750 (6) - therefore 5stack!? but pattern looks good so its kinda sad The kick sliders are here to emphasize the melody (by making use of the hihats to justify the overmap lmao)
01:17:596 (1,2) - fix blanket Improved a tiny bit
01:27:135 (1) - maybe 1/16? Let's try, I've also put the previous one 1/12 by following the same logic, we'll see what people think.
01:32:058 (3) - The kickslider in this pattern is kinda the only one with an angle this off compared to other in the pattern, imo doesn't look good. I love how it looks though xD (for the record, this is the first pattern I mapped in that map).
01:32:365 (1,2,3) - I know that you're making a pattern But (1) and (2) sound like they are equally strong therefore same jump imo. No. Sometimes it's ok to make a jump right after the intense beat if you're going to a standard ds after that. Here 01:32:365 (1) - is emphasize by the fact the note is alone and then you "jump" to come back to a normal pace, it totally highlights 01:32:365 (1) - this way and put the repetition here 01:32:519 (2) - into something commonplace.
01:32:981 (1,2) - in this case (2) sounds stronger than (1), i can clearly hear the buff beat when i relisten to it, but 1 to 2 is bigger jump than 2 to 3, a little tweak in the pattern would not hurt imo. The purpose of this pattern isn't which beat is stronger than the other. It's emphasize 01:32:673 (3) - and 01:33:289 (3) - by the repetition. I think it represents the feel I have of this part pretty well.
01:35:904 (8) - 01:35:981 (9) - i suggest ignoring the blue tick or doing a kick slider, the offbeat has a really high pitched sounds which makes me want to jump, to me it felt a little bit anti-climatic. sliders being more catchy (and kick sliders faster) than circles, I really the emphasize is where it should as it is rn.
01:45:904 (1,2) - making this into a kickslider plays better i think Right, fixed.
01:42:981 (6,7,8) - is this even in DS, it looks really weird. Not sure what's wrong?
01:44:212 (6,1,2,3,4,5) - blanket it because the curve doesn't look good now. Fixed a tiny bit.
01:47:442 (2,3) - 01:48:058 (2,3) - imo they should have same distance. Not sure why.. 01:48:212 (3) - leads to another melody.
01:50:289 - i would not skip this beat... I'll see what I do with this, because I'm not quite sure there's actually a beat there.
01:51:750 (3,4) - make them overlap with the same amount of surface. Fixed
02:00:058 (4) - Hm the sliderstart and sliderend sound like they're of same intensity, so make jumps? I like the way the flow recreates the feel of the music though.
02:01:596 (1,2) - idk but those sounds are quite different than 02:01:289 (1,2) - but they have same patterning. If it were me I would emphasize them by going back and forth with those two, or just CTRL+G http://puu.sh/qtX8p/51ccb64c3c.jpg something like this Once more, this is the same hihats I'm following since the beginning of the map (til the end), they're meant to go together.
02:06:519 (3,4) - imo should be a 5stack because the drum has same intensity on every 1/4 beat. ^ same


Nice map, good luck. (m4m from modreqs lul)

This is not a mod, but just saying, there are WAYYYY too many spinners in the Normal difficulty. I see how you're trying to make the Normal kind of be an easy-normal, but can there not be a spinner every 4 notes? It gets boring.

1. Samples could probably be a little louder at the start, it feels almost insignificant with how quiet the notes are.
2. To me something about 00:38:827 (3,4,5) - feels a little off, it kinda disrupts the flow to have a triple here
3. 00:41:289 (3,4,5) - same as above but not as bad, probably because it isn't as hectic afterwards.
4. 01:29:596 (4,5) - this jump feels a little too far
5. 01:36:058 (1,2,3) - Spacing here is inconsistent since they're all the same distance away time-wise
6. 01:50:827 (1,2,3,4) - A little misleading since before everything mapped like this was 1/4 instead of 1/2
7. 02:01:289 (4,5) - same as above but it's fine, I'm just kinda stupid
8. In general be careful about overmapping triples because they're pretty hard for this level of map to have so many of them in a row imo
9. Sorry there's not too much else I noticed, it's a pretty good map so there wasn't a lot I could find.

1. The entire beginning section is a little awkward because of the timing, don't know how you might fix it if you want to.
2. 00:08:365 (1,2) - It's not clear how far apart these should be, maybe a slider would be better here
3. 00:26:981 (5,1) - This jump is kind of misleading, these notes feel too slow compared to the flow you have going here
4. 00:31:904 (6,1) - jump here is too small for how large the timing distance is, especially since 00:31:750 (5,6) - this jump is almost the same size but twice as fast
5. Might just be my opinion but the second half of the song has too many spinners. I know the beat might be hard to map but the spinners get very repetitive and I think there are too many.
6. 01:42:519 (1) - I know it starts on a white tick but this slider doesn't really hit any note at all, so I think it should be moved.
7. 01:47:442 (1) - Same as above. I know it sets up the next slider, but it still feels kinda out of place
8. 01:52:365 (1) - Same as above
9. 01:57:289 (1) - Same as above
10. All I really saw here, it's a pretty well made map. Good luck in the ranking process!

Hard

1. The entire beginning section is a little awkward because of the timing, don't know how you might fix it if you want to. What's wrong with my timing :c
2. 00:08:365 (1,2) - It's not clear how far apart these should be, maybe a slider would be better here Well, the pattern might look a bit tricky, but melody is clear and DS is respected, I can't be more concrete.
3. 00:26:981 (5,1) - This jump is kind of misleading, these notes feel too slow compared to the flow you have going here Well, I did it the whole song at the same place because I feel it's THE part that needs to be emphasized. And I even hiighlighted it with my hitsounds!
4. 00:31:904 (6,1) - jump here is too small for how large the timing distance is, especially since 00:31:750 (5,6) - this jump is almost the same size but twice as fast Well... 00:31:750 (5,6) - is a jump, 00:31:904 (6,1) - isn't. Once more, I'm emphasizing those 2 notes 00:31:750 (5,6) - then I get back to normal DS
5. Might just be my opinion but the second half of the song has too many spinners. I know the beat might be hard to map but the spinners get very repetitive and I think there are too many. There's a lot of spinners. Though I like how they fit as the song allows them.
6. 01:42:519 (1) - I know it starts on a white tick but this slider doesn't really hit any note at all, so I think it should be moved. It is mapped on something though. Yes it's not as strong as the end of the spinner but there's something for sure. Also, since it's on white tick, it helps the player to get back on track pretty easily.
7. 01:47:442 (1) - Same as above. I know it sets up the next slider, but it still feels kinda out of place
8. 01:52:365 (1) - Same as above

1. Disable widescreen support and countdown they are both unnecessary

1. 00:02:519 - make this clickable? remove repeat of slider and add circle instead
2. 00:45:596 (2,2) - small overlaps like this look aagly :< .... overlap them more and just remove overlap
3. 00:52:981 (1,2) - 00:54:212 (3,4) - since its the easiest diff of the set , flows like this could be a bit hard to read for newbies

seems good

[Hard]

01:11:750 (2) - sounds pretty weird, i'd do a 1/1 slider at 01:11:904 - to follow the same sound as 01:11:442 (1) - I get your point but I feel that my way is more natural to play and still makes sense as the reverse represents that sound.
01:13:904 - place a note here and then spinner pls I guess I'll rework those spinners later but I think it's fine for this one though, starting a spinner there give its sense as it represents something in the music and it isn't map on some fade away kind of sound.
01:21:596 (2) - same as earlier ^
01:26:519 - why would u ignore those awesome sounds ;w; you could do like sliders with increasing sv like this or smth https://sy.phic.al/i/jyymblg.jpg Oh, really like your idea, I'll take that. I just hope the pattern isn't too hard for a normal diff... we'll see.
02:05:596 (1) - same as earlier! Probablt gonna rework those though, but the idea is the same that previously. I don't like making spinners just to "fill in" the spinner has its importance and should be snapped on a proper beat in my opinion.
02:14:212 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - i love pp /s x)

[Aia's Insane]

00:41:904 (1,2) - i expected 1 to be an extended slider lol these are so close to eachother, maybe consider giving it a bit more distance
01:01:519 (6,1) - is this intentionally stacked like this because it looks weird
01:59:442 (1,2,3) - this felt a bit weird to play, smth like this might work better https://sy.phic.al/i/cyzuewr.jpg


[Unfading Nightmares]

00:23:135 (1) - consider silencing sliderend, sounds a bit better to me Reduced to 20%
01:17:442 (7,1) - imo this needs a lot more distance, the sound on 1 is really strong, you could try ctrlg 1 maybe Fixed in my way
01:56:981 (1) - more distance pls ctrl g would work I feel that a higher spacing there would break the flow.
01:58:212 (1,2) - wayyyy too much distance It plays by itself.
02:16:673 (1) - centering this inbetween 02:16:212 (1,1,1) - would look a bit better tbh, 326|255 should be good Fixed, nice catch.

this diff is so good hOLY Glad you like it!

good luck~

Thanks!

General

1. Disable widescreen support and countdown they are both unnecessary Fixed on all diff. I never think about those things lol

Normal

1. 00:02:519 - make this clickable? remove repeat of slider and add circle instead I feel the reverse represents that sound pretty well though.
2. 00:45:596 (2,2) - small overlaps like this look aagly :< .... overlap them more and just remove overlap Well, I like how it looks though xD
3. 00:52:981 (1,2) - 00:54:212 (3,4) - since its the easiest diff of the set , flows like this could be a bit hard to read for newbies Can't see what's wrong (2) is right under (1) how could you be confused?
4. 01:21:289 (5,2) - not parallel .-. fixed a bit the blanket.
   holy.. soo many spinners

Polka's Advanced

1. 00:56:519 (2,3) - stack for consistency The rhythm is the same, the pattern doesn't need to be the same
2. 01:18:827 (1,2) - the flow is kinda meh .. move 2 to left Flow seems good to me

I'll let Polka decide whether he wants to change something or not anyway.

Hard

1. 00:12:981 (3,4,1,2,3) - they look kinda weird tbh .. maybe change pattern here ? no, it's fine.
2. 00:17:904 (3,1) - stack like 00:17:289 (1,3) - I feel it would make it harder to read and since it's not a really big deal I'll let it this way.
3. 00:57:289 (3,1) - stack Fixed!
4. 01:55:442 (4) - replace with 2 circles? I get your point, but I like how it flows right now.

Aia's Insane

1. 01:01:519 (6,1) - not stacked properly
   cool diff

Unfading Nightmares

1. 00:18:519 - The cymbal sound here needs more emphasizing while ur spacing between 00:18:365 (4,1) - is lower than 00:17:904 (3,4) - Fixed
2. 00:32:673 (1,1,1,1) - u really dont need these NCs I do. To show the speed up via the NCs too.
3. 01:17:289 (6,7,1) - same as 00:18:519 - Fixed
4. 01:27:442 (1,2,3) - people might misread it as a skystar triple :^) Went fine in testplays.
5. 01:32:365 (1,2,3) - linear-ish flows like this are pain to play ;-; I feel it plays by itself though... To me at least xD
6. 01:45:058 - theres clearly a sound there how about replacing 01:44:981 (5) - with a 1/4 slider? Souds better
7. 01:51:904 (4,1) - spacing is overkill It's the most intense part of the song, and it's not the hardest pattern tbh
8. 01:56:827 (4,1) - space these more plox I feel it would break the flow

ok thats it i guess.. cute map

https://osu.ppy.sh/s/489013 my map so u wont have to go back to ur q

Thanks!

I'll get to your maps probably tonight or tomorrow night!

2. 01:18:827 (1,2) - the flow is kinda meh .. move 2 to left Can't do that without shattering DS sorry

unfading nightmares

1. 00:01:289 (1,2,1,2,3) - the latter three notes follow a different beat than the sliders on 1 and 2. which is fine on it's own, but you leave out the first note of said new beat between 2 and 1. which i can't really make sense of. You mean that there's an empty tick and you don't get why? It's because that note is actually pretty low, so I choosed to not map it to make it more like an echoe than a note that would be mapped such as a beat.
2. 00:02:519 (4) - here, in the very same meassure, you have same sound pattern as in the point above, yet you mapped it differently on the hits, for consistency reasons i'd rather follow the same sounds in both beats. by which the slider end of 4 and the start of 1 go after the sounds of the same beat as you bridged over unmapped with 4. I'm not sure to get it x: But you wonder why I mapped (4) a 1/2 slider, it's because I wanted to emphasize the sound at the beginning of the slider which is way stronger than the one at the middle or even after.
3. 00:02:981 (1) - small thing, but having a slider end on a concluding, stronger note of the pattern is doable, but questionable imo. Well it follows the melody just fine.
4. 00:05:904 (4,5,1) - not sure why you'd put the spacing increase on 4-5 instead of 5-1 as 5-1 is definitely the stronger note. also i find it intriguing that you increase rather than decrease the spacing in the entire pattern (which is quite nice looking btw), since the pitch gets lower and less stressed. It's a thing to put a high spacing on strong notes. It's even overused now. But I wouldn't say it's the only technique for a jump. And a jump on low notes can be different but just as good, also, via 00:06:212 (1) - the pattern radically slows down which allows to put a lot of emphasize in that slider sound. Way more than the jumps just before.
5. 00:14:520 (2) - i'd suggest breaking up this one slider into singletaps in order to emphazise the piano. for example with the first note on the sliderstart of the current slider and the second one on the start of 00:14:827 (1) - Changed in my own way to make it more in harmony with the music.
6. 00:17:289 (1,3) - why did you simplify those beats i wonder. both the piano and the drum beat play as 1/2 through those 1/1 sliders For violins (or smthing)
7. 00:22:212 (1) - i hear no need to use a 1/8 repeat here, especially not since this is the exact same sound but you didn't go 1/8 there 00:22:673 (2) - also the 1/4 gap before and after the repeat sound like they should have hits on them too if the rest is mapped as well, as it is. Right, fixed the first point, but still leaving the pattern with a reverse, the kick sliders are here for the "coming up" in the music.
8. 00:25:212 (4,5) - concidering you put tripples in these places, these seem to be missing 00:23:750 (2,3) - 00:33:750 (2,3) - At the beginning I always used the same rhythm. 00:23:750 (2,3,4,5) - Focus on piano, 00:24:981 (3,4,5,6) - hihats. 00:26:212 (3,4) - piano 00:26:981 (1) - "break" 00:28:673 (1,2) - piano 00:29:904 (3,4,5) - hihats. 00:31:904 (1,2) - break. 00:33:596 (1,2) - piano. 00:34:981 (3,4) - hihats etc. xD Otherwise, it would be only triples, and that's not what I want as those sounds aren't really audible, it's more a pretty fast pace they give than some concrete beats.
9. 00:37:904 (5,6) - i'd suggest to emphasise the strong beats within these sliders. for example by using notes instead of 00:37:904 (5) - Naaaah, not touching those, they're here at the same position from the beginning to the end, this is THE part I want to emphasize that way. I even put special hitsounds for those etna xD
10. 00:45:443 (8) - 00:48:519 (3) - i'd put an etna slider here in the same manner as 00:44:212 (7) - Makes sense. Fixed.
11. 00:46:058 (3) - sound like 5 hits to me. but i would just go with singles altogether since you didn't map those quints in any of the previous instances. Putting 5 notes for background sounds is exactly what I hate in new mapping xD. Also, I could go for full 1/2 but since the music seems to come higher and higher, I'm making the pace faster by adding a triple there.
12. 00:50:365 (7,1) - you guess it, consistency with 00:49:135 (7,8,1) - I prefer to not add one here because if 00:49:135 (7,8,1) - feels it's a continous melody, 00:50:519 (1) - feels that the pace is kinda changing from there.
13. 00:52:365 (3,1) - from what i hear the slider ends of those don't exist. but i guess etnas like these aren't uncommon nowadays. And once more, those are the same sounds I'm representing from the beginning.
14. 00:56:212 (7,8) - having a bigger spacing on this is fine but.. this does seem a bit very big compared to the rest of the map, even the kiai doesn't have any jumps of this caliber. It's really not hard to hit so w/e.
15. 01:04:673 (1,2) - suggesting replacement of those with a slider to give more spotlight to the strong note on 1, especially since the one on 2 is really weak. or the oposite with replacing the other splits of two and leaving the linked one as the only one. just something to make that strong note stick out. That wouldn't play that great :c Also, I feel the pattern already intensify the first combo notes enough the way it is.
16. 01:32:673 (3,1) - no tripple while 01:35:135 (3,4,5) - Obviously because I'm not showing the same thing.
17. 01:37:135 (4,1) - suggesting the use of an etna since this is pretty clearly 1/4 and not 1/2 Right. But I don't feel it would play that great as it's on red tick. So I prefer to focus on the melody that definetly calls for 1/2 circles.
18. 01:40:519 (7,8) - i don't see where the cap comes from, especially as the 1/4 picks up audibly on 7 Because I'm representing the melody that creates such a vague (going high and low). The 5 notes stream is common enough to make it really easy to play and I feel that it represents the music more this way than spamming stream just because there's a note...y'know xD
19. 01:54:212 (6,7) - in a sound pattern like this i'd rather pronounce 01:53:750 (3,4) - these notes with the largest spacing rather than the ones that fade out the soundpattern. Well, I'm not against a suggestion with an example cause not really sure how to make it here. That's why I just went for something pretty standard by making the whole pattern constant.
20. on the rest of the spacing and patterns i can't complain since they play quite neatly~

aia's insane

1. 00:02:519 (6) - same deal as in the upper diff.. maybe i'm just silly if two mappers do the same thing and i still don't see why That sound is pretty strong though. Definetly calls for a 1/1 slider to emphasize it xD
2. 00:13:596 (1,6) - 00:17:904 (3) - not sure if it's appropriate to mix up the mapped rhythms like this, seems arbitrary to me, but it's probably just fine (mixing up as in using the main beat on those but ignoring it on 00:14:673 (4) - in favour of a long note on the piano, while the main beat 1/1 sliders ignored the piano instead) Same as in my map, it represents the violins.
3. 00:26:212 (3) - 00:29:904 (3) - i think the first of the repititions is unnecessary
4. 00:30:212 (4) - should be a tripple with all of those sounds mapped out otherwise. if you change it up in this manner it'll seem confusing and has to be read purely on sight.
5. 00:32:519 (3,4) - might want to make some sort of quint out of this as well
6. 00:35:981 (2) - i would not map this note since you don't map the same kind by using 00:35:750 (1,4) - to overbridge them
7. 00:52:442 (2) - overmapped?
8. 00:54:519 (3) - 00:58:212 (2) - 00:58:827 (4) - again i don't agree with the first repitition (for the last of the three i'd set a note before where it starts though)
9. besides that this map looks too clean for me to find flaws

hard

1. 00:14:673 (4,1) - suggesting to start the slider on the red tick (where 4 is) to emphasise the piano But the violins :c
2. i don't know much at all about what to look at on hard and downwards, so the mods on these will be short to say the least v__v

polka's advanced

1. 00:09:596 (2) - i would suggest not having anything in the place the sliderend is in
2. 00:15:135 (2) - 00:27:442 (2) - this slider appears sudden because the sound before it isn't mapper. so a note before this slider would be nice
3. 00:24:058 (4,2) - to me these seem to start out of nowhere, not following any particular strong beat in the beginning.. might just be a thing people do in normal diffs tho. not enough experience here
4. 01:09:596 (2,3) - i'd put these the other way around on the timeline. to emphasise the base beat or whatever it's called. just like you did it on these 01:07:135 (2,3) -

normal

1. so.many.spinners. x)
   but seriously.. i don't even know what to look for at this kind of difficulty. looks all fine in my eyes

let's hope i formatted this properly

  • 
    
    I've seen many mods talking about the spinners. So let's get to them:
    
    Using spinners with reasonable lentgh is the most important guideline out there about spinners. Mostly to avoid spinners spam or deathspinners.
    
    Therefore, the spinners presented in the difficulites I've check are all reasonable enough, so there's no 'unrankability' about it. About the amout of them; In Normal you have used 15 spinners, in hard difficulty 7 and extra 0. The mapping of those spinners is consistent inside each diff;
    
    Normal
    
    00:09:904 (1) -
    00:18:519 (1) -
    00:41:904 (1) -
    01:00:365 (1) -
    01:13:904 (1) -
    01:23:750 (1) -
    01:36:058 (1) -
    
    This are all located before the bookmarks, and the taking a look over the musical structure, it shows that they're consistently mapping the streams and transitions from each part of the song, therefore, in the end of the musical phrases.
    
    About the kiai spinners. I'd like to believe that their frequency has increased to give emphazis to the main chorus, since they're steadly appearing and now are progressivelly showing themselves more often, while also keeping the structure of ending the musical phrases/mapping streams/transitions
    
    01:36:058 (1) -
    01:40:981 (1) -
    01:50:827 (1) -
    01:55:750 (1) -
    
    Considering that this is normal I've checked that all of them have enough recovery time as well. So let's get to a few suggestions to slightly improve this spinners consistency:
    
    -The first spinner is fine and I'll use it as the principle of the map in general
    
    00:09:904 (1) -
    
    -This spinners lasts for 4/1 and the recovery time is also 4/1.
    
    00:18:519 (1) -
    
    -This one is longer following the music as well, with a 4/1 recovery time as well.
    
    00:41:904 (1) -
    
    -Same as the spinner 1 ^
    
    01:00:365 (1) -
    
    -Now this spinner is quite curious. His duration 01:00:365 - ~ 01:02:827 - is following one sound and when the stream sound starts it stops and gives the map a gap of 2/1. This could work as emphasis to the stream sound. But I must say it's odd that the previous one had spinners on it 00:41:904 (1) - , and the spinner two also have used the same gap for the stream 00:18:519 (1) - .
    
    -On the next spinner the stream sound was also mapped:01:13:904 (1) - . So far we could discuss that the pattern of the spinner is Gap/Mapping/Gap/Mapping . If this pattern is followed until kiai than it'd be all ok, but the next spinner
    
    01:23:750 (1) -
    
    Also mapped the stream. So the result is this:
    
    Gap 00:18:519 (1) - /stream 00:41:904 (1) - /Gap 01:00:365 (1) - / Stream 01:13:904 (1) - /Stream 01:23:750 (1) - / .
    
    My suggestion is: take this last spinner 01:23:750 (1) - and increase it's duration until the next big white tick 01:26:212 - to give it the 4/1 gap . This would also make the spinner cover both transition sounds and streamy sounds as well.
    
    I won't comment the kiai spinners because they look fine.
    
    Extra
    
    Final suggestion about this: add at least ONE spinner to the diff Unfading Nightmares. I feel like it's reasonable enough that if you consistently have used spinners to map your lower stars difficulties, there must be at least one part of this song that you can really see a spinner being a good way to go, even if it's an extra difficulty.

1. I won't get in details about the mapping but later one, I can give it a mod no kds if you want to[/notice]
