Seems like two songs are being arbitrarily put together to make a mapset that's over 5 minutes, thus allowing both songs to be approved without needing a set. Not that i'm against it or anything though, because if people are fine with this, I'm totally going to do this in the future.

questionable 1/6 notes:
00:15:397 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - 1/4 with some 1/8 imo - Its a pure 1/6th drum roll.
02:44:057 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - ^ - Same here.
02:06:730 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - probably 1/2- This is a mix of 1/4 and 1/6th. I spoke with a few people about this and we agree that "Overmapping" it to make it more simple and easier to play is the better option.

and questionable 1/4 in the latter part:
06:12:124 (2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4) - most seem to be 1/2 with only a small portion of 1/4 - Same here, random mix of 1/3 1/4 and some just random notes. "Overmapped for simplicity.
07:05:236 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - seems overmapping - 1/4 drum roll is pretty clear here.

and questionable 1/3 notes:
06:51:384 (6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - 06:51:458 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - should be 1/2 and I can't really hear the note at 06:51:384 (6) - - Definitely not 1/2 I originally had this as 1/4 and people suggested I use 1/3 instead. I think its just another case of shitty guitar playing thats a total mess and you cant accurately map without it being stupid.

may not be all, but I believe the above should be reconsidered more carefully

I mean, 4-5ms can be really pushing it on higher od (ie. od 10) especially if it's inconsistent (ie. can't just toss local offset on and be all set). <3ms is probably unnoticeable on any od though.

You could just use repeats for 1/3 or 1/6 rhythms while still keeping the 1/4 as circles, even vice versa w/e
2. 06:14:236 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4) -
3. 02:38:064 (1,2,3,4) - The first 3 circles of this pattern start out super snappy, then switches to a random wide angle on 4... which is the highest pitched guitar note out of these. This could fit the guitar intensity more while still keeping the overall shape.
4. 01:44:064 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - These angles have the same problem as above. The overall spacing makes sense, but here it's barely significant when the movement is underwhelming. The triangles are sharp individually, but each shift between them is wide angled.
5. 02:58:057 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - aaa same as above
6. 02:54:279 (2,3,1,2,1,2,1) - What's with the grouping and NCing of these circles? I don't hear any pitch changes in the guitar up until 02:55:057 (2), and as for percussion, you're actually placing more emphasis on the less intense kicks over the snares.
7. 06:18:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I don't see any musical reason behind the large differences in spacing for the two groups of 4. The only note that stands out to me is 06:18:124 (1), but everything else is relatively within the same pitch range.
8. 06:19:902 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Same thing here; 06:20:347 (1) - should have the largest jump, but instead you have 06:20:124 (3,4) - and 06:20:569 (3,4) - which are more spaced despite being lower intensity.
9. 06:28:680 (4,1) - Another random jump... Actually the entirety of 06:27:902 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) - is just weird. 06:28:236 (4) - 06:28:569 (3) - 06:28:902 (2) - are guitar notes that stand out, but none of them are emphasized since they're all consistent in spacing and all wide angled. Especially 06:29:680 (1) - which has a crash.
10. 06:30:124 (3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4) - So the jump between the two groups is good, but 06:30:569 (1,2,3,4) - uses the same DS as 06:30:124 (3,4,5,6) - which is lower in pitch asdjklgasdl
11. 06:31:458 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This isn't necessarily a problem, but seriously, you could do something at least a little more interesting than this. There are some guitar rhythms you can take advantage of like the 1/2 at 06:32:124 - 06:33:458 - etc. It doesn't even have to be the guitar really. Using circles before the crashes at 06:33:236 (1) - and 06:35:013 (1) - would be much more impactful than just slider spam.
12. 06:42:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - oh god this is literally a combination of all the spacing/angle problems I've mentioned so far. 06:42:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Starts out zig zagging and then uses a wide angled transition in between the 2 groups. Then 06:43:013 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - here it just completely drops the sharp angles and uses the same ds despite the build up in pitch. 06:43:902 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - So much variation in spacing with no intensity changes.

1. 04:40:347 (9,1) - Nothing here calls for such a sharp and massive jump following up with a 180 transition into the stream - Rare case in the song where the snares are stonger on certain spots at the end (Slider heads, last circle) And the long snare roll I is the only one thats that long and powerful in these sections so its justifiable being that hard compared to the rest.
   06:12:124 (2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5) - None of this 1/4 is really emphasizing to anything; from what I can tell maybe you were just simplifying the mess of guitar snaps, but I think there are better options. You could just use repeats for 1/3 or 1/6 rhythms while still keeping the 1/4 as circles, even vice versa w/e - Discussed with a few people, agree'd to map as 1/4. Random mess of 1/4 1/3 and just plain random notes that dont fit anywhere. "Overmapping" for pure 1/4 to cover shitty guitar playing actually makes it much easier and simple to play, as opposed to a bunch of nonsensical mess that I doubt anyone would like to be playing.
2. 06:14:236 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4) -
3. 02:38:064 (1,2,3,4) - The first 3 circles of this pattern start out super snappy, then switches to a random wide angle on 4... which is the highest pitched guitar note out of these. - [/color]This could fit the guitar intensity more while still keeping the overall shape. I honestly dont know how to explain this because I literally do not see an issue what so ever. 1 2 3 are basic snaps and the 4 clearly has the most emphasis which is needed, so yeah. This in itself is just another regular pattern anyways, you still have to snap to the 4 as well.
4. 01:44:064 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - These angles have the same problem as above. The overall spacing makes sense, but here it's barely significant when the movement is underwhelming. The triangles are sharp individually, but each shift between them is wide angled. - No emphasis needed aside from the 3 > 1 which I have, so again no issue for me. Playing these you actually move smoothly from 1 > 3 rather than snapping which is intended, the same as the previous time this part came up.
5. 02:58:057 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - aaa same as above - This is a totally differet case seeing as its sliders, I wouldnt wanna make players snap for these aside from each 3 > 1, and its uneeded.
6. 02:54:279 (2,3,1,2,1,2,1) - What's with the grouping and NCing of these circles? I don't hear any pitch changes in the guitar up until 02:55:057 (2), and as for percussion, you're actually placing more emphasis on the less intense kicks over the snares. - For guitar and its doubles so it fits. Emphasis on drums matters not since guitar is arguable the stronger instrument here. Plus this song is a mess and a lot of the time instruments dont match up like they do in 99% of other songs
7. 06:18:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I don't see any musical reason behind the large differences in spacing for the two groups of 4. The only note that stands out to me is 06:18:124 (1), but everything else is relatively within the same pitch range. - Since the 1 is stronger and indicates a new pattern I figured having the second be spaced more made sense, it works as a nice build up as well, the spacing doesnt really matter since the intensity isnt that noticeable. Everything just feels difficult throughout.
8. 06:19:902 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Same thing here; 06:20:347 (1) - should have the largest jump, but instead you have 06:20:124 (3,4) - and 06:20:569 (3,4) - which are more spaced despite being lower intensity. - Spacing isnt everything when it comes to intensity, aside from these being the exact same, the change in direction on 06:20:347 (1) - Helps add extra emphasis, rather than just replying on spacing.
9. 06:28:680 (4,1) - Another random jump... Actually the entirety of 06:27:902 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) - is just weird. 06:28:236 (4) - 06:28:569 (3) - 06:28:902 (2) - are guitar notes that stand out, but none of them are emphasized since they're all consistent in spacing and all wide angled. Especially 06:29:680 (1) - which has a crash. 06:28:347 (1) - Not strong enough to need a jump, tighter turn is fine enough. 06:28:791 (1,1) - These 2 are clearly much stronger than all the others so are the only ones that deserve jumps, the rest you pointed out are just blended in with the basic huitar line, they do not have enough power, or dare I say any at all to warrent emphasis on them.
10. 06:30:124 (3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4) - So the jump between the two groups is good, but 06:30:569 (1,2,3,4) - uses the same DS as 06:30:124 (3,4,5,6) - which is lower in pitch asdjklgasdl - 06:30:124 (3,4,5,6) - Climbs down in pitch while 06:30:569 (1,2,3,4) - Rises, so they're the same basic concept. Having the same DS is fine. They arent 2 clearly different pitches, but on average they are the same.
11. 06:31:458 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This isn't necessarily a problem, but seriously, you could do something at least a little more interesting than this.

12. 06:42:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - oh god this is literally a combination of all the spacing/angle problems I've mentioned so far. 06:42:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Starts out zig zagging and then uses a wide angled transition in between the 2 groups.

Only the 1's need emphasis. 06:43:013 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Jumps start sharp and large at the pitch height, and get less intense to match it lowering.

The spacing is large, but this is also the one time this particular measure (which is used other times, at 04:05:013 - , 04:33:680 - , 06:09:458 - , there are others) is actually only 1/2 away from a drum beat. Unlike most metal tracks, this one has a nice amount of variance so the similarities are muted, but I'm sure you're aware as a mapper of how freely spacing can be abused during transitional phases.
2. 06:12:124 (2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5) - None of this 1/4 is really emphasizing to anything; from what I can tell maybe you were just simplifying the mess of guitar snaps, but I think there are better options. You could just use repeats for 1/3 or 1/6 rhythms while still keeping the 1/4 as circles, even vice versa w/e This is not the first time that random guitar wailing has been mapped with a set of steams, nor will it be the last. I'm confused as to why you find this objectionable when it's a technique commonly used.
3. 02:38:064 (1,2,3,4) - The first 3 circles of this pattern start out super snappy, then switches to a random wide angle on 4... which is the highest pitched guitar note out of these. This could fit the guitar intensity more while still keeping the overall shape. This is pure preference.

You can't hear changes in pitch, but you can't tell that they're cascading pairs? Like, this is actually some really skilled emphasis that's looking at the music as a whole, rather than data points.
7. 06:18:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I don't see any musical reason behind the large differences in spacing for the two groups of 4. The only note that stands out to me is 06:18:124 (1), but everything else is relatively within the same pitch range. This is inane as hell. People do crazier shit during plain 1/2 spam sections all the damn time. You've done it as well. The spacing is not so incredibly large that they count as taxing jumps for the theoretical player.
8. 06:19:902 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Same thing here; 06:20:347 (1) - should have the largest jump, but instead you have 06:20:124 (3,4) - and 06:20:569 (3,4) - which are more spaced despite being lower intensity. This is purely based around distance snap, which is a shitty metric. The entire section is just largely spaced, inane details such as the exact distance is only discernable when you're sitting in the editor armchair. The player does not notice these changes, and musically they are following a consistent rhythm and pattern structure.
9. 06:28:680 (4,1) - Another random jump... Actually the entirety of 06:27:902 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) - is just weird. 06:28:236 (4) - 06:28:569 (3) - 06:28:902 (2) - are guitar notes that stand out, but none of them are emphasized since they're all consistent in spacing and all wide angled. Especially 06:29:680 (1) - which has a crash. I'm really not seeing your point here. Just by listening to it once, I can tell that the first four beats lead into the second set, while the third and fourth sets are independent copies of the first original four. And this combo setup is very efficient at representing that. Again, you're looking at the raw pitch and sound so hard you're losing sight of the relationships between the beats.
10. 06:30:124 (3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4) - So the jump between the two groups is good, but 06:30:569 (1,2,3,4) - uses the same DS as 06:30:124 (3,4,5,6) - which is lower in pitch asdjklgasdl Honestly, this is just the same thing over and over again. If anything, I find 06:31:013 (1,2,3,4) - to be the most disconcerting of this section because of how it's not aligned with its own structure that well and the jump of 3->4 is overkill for emphasis there. But it's not that bad.
11. 06:31:458 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This isn't necessarily a problem, but seriously, you could do something at least a little more interesting than this.

Using circles before the crashes at 06:33:236 (1) - and 06:35:013 (1) - would be much more impactful than just slider spam. Honestly the music gets pretty boring here too and having a bit of a breather is probably a good idea. It goes back into more dense patterns later on as the music picks back up. My only suggestion here would be to disable kiai for a bit near the middle, but that's personal preference speaking - the music slowly loses energy and slowly regains it, making the harsh cutoff of "kiai on, kiai off" probably disconcerting.
12. 06:42:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - oh god this is literally a combination of all the spacing/angle problems I've mentioned so far. 06:42:124 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Starts out zig zagging and then uses a wide angled transition in between the 2 groups.

This is a direct, higher-spacing, higher-energy "copy" (I use quotes because it's not a direct copy, but a similar-use one) of an earlier combo - and because this chorus takes that same musical pattern and continues it, getting even more ramped up, the mapping reflects this. If there's any point at which the spacing should deservedly "go nuts", it's here. And also, fuck the bit about sharp angles. Tablets don't give a shit about sharp angles, people who complain that they're hard to play should just get better or go back to their comfortable pp maps.
