[]Easy
- Difficulty settings and spread needs to be a bit more balanced. The Normal difficulty is a bit too hard for the spread. Your SR is E-1.3 N-2.1 H-2.6. You focused on mapping the entirety of the vocal and instruments which makes the Normal harder. There are too many elements. E-97 N-160 H-186. It would've been better if the Normal was a bit simplified and had a couple less elements to balance the 3 set spread out. You also used the same DS for N and H, which makes the Normal harder, again. You might want to consider remapping a few parts to adjust that in addition to the difficulty settings and maybe the DS.
http://puu.sh/s0A6Y/18613ba67e.png Actually, I dont think this is unrankable. Sonnyc says nothing about it, and N has 3,5 HP which is low comparing to other maps- Some general advice for your Easy and Normal mapping: Try not to try to map all of the vocals and instruments in their entirety. It will be too much for easier difficulties. With the amount of elements the difficulties have, they get so dense that beginners will have a hard time playing them. You can add gameplay pauses by skipping some less important vocals, instruments and beats or instead of using 2 1/1 sliders, you could add a 2/1 slider. This way you can map the important vocals, instruments and beats but also ensure that it won't get too much. http://puu.sh/s0B8v/39c98c9eb4.jpg Another way is to use longer sliders more often so the players won't have to click too many elements. But you always have to keep the song in mind of course - what you want to map to and how important these vocals, instruments and beats are since it's easier to play to the obvious for beginners. And so did I
- 01:26:161 (1) - The spinner sounds at the end of all difficulties is a bit too loud to match the song. Mind reducing the volume a bit more? Ehm its ok to me
- If you haven't yet, you need to provide metadata to ensure that it's correct. Ayyri checked it long time ago
[]
Appearance, Flow & Transition:Normal
- 00:07:329 (3,4,1) - Flow is breaking due to the slider shape and cursor redirection making it an unnatural movement. General advice: It's especially important for beginner difficulties to maintain the flow as best as possible to ensure a smooth gameplay as they don't have much experience in gameplay yet which makes it more difficult for them to play such pattern placement. Try to make the movement not too sharp so the flow is somewhat curved. You always try to blanket everything but you ignore the flow because of that. That's not always good. http://puu.sh/s0AEt/b5e552d3c7.jpg Same for 01:19:154 (1,2) - http://puu.sh/s0AWu/e241b56eea.jpg These are the only ones that have a too sharp movement and should be adjusted. This partially applies for Normal difficulties as well. Fixed
[]
Rhythm & Pattern:Hard
- Like I already said in the General section, the Normal needs to be adjusted the most to make the mapset balanced. You simply have too many elements. For example:
- 00:07:110 (3,4,5) - http://puu.sh/s0Bxl/5b4b969317.jpg Would work better as it is mapped to the guitar and that's more precise too than the other 1/2 rhythm. Will reduce the amount of elements too. Nice, Fixed
- 00:12:365 (8) - Removing this would make the transition less dense Fixed
- 00:28:132 (5,6) - Replacing these with a 1/1 slider would make it less dense and also follow the vocals better http://puu.sh/s0BEO/32f4185179.jpg But there are 3 sounds: To So Mooo, so declined
- 00:30:979 (3,4,5,6) - http://puu.sh/s0BNW/3488f9fbee.jpg simplifying this while maintaining the mapping to the important vocals Don't like it
- 00:34:482 (3,4,5,6,7) - http://puu.sh/s0BSq/0099c8ed4b.jpg ^ ^
The rest is okay
Other Issues:- 00:40:614 (1) - Nearly touches the HP bar. Try to adjust this and avoid this in the future. Especially overlaps with interface elements isn't good. https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6447892 Fixed
[]
Appearance, Flow & Transition:Overall
- 00:21:782 (7,8,1) - Flow is breaking here due to that sharp triangle movement http://puu.sh/s0CIr/81a297c8ce.jpg Same here 00:26:161 (3,1) -
- 00:42:803 (6,7,1) - Aesthetics, fow and transition fail here. http://puu.sh/s0Cmn/6d75fe2b9a.jpg
All those flow breaks can be explained due to strong vocal, so, nothing changed- 00:55:504 (3,4) - 00:56:818 (3,4) - Could make them symmetrical. They currently aren't. http://puu.sh/s0CpL/8c8178625b.jpg Fixed
Rhythm & Pattern:- 00:50:030 (2,3) - A 1/2 slider would musically fit better here imo One of BNs gave me that idea, so I will leave it
Spacing:- 00:14:993 (7) Don't know - 00:30:979 (3,4,5,6) - Why this 1,1 DS change? Sieg wrote to extend them
- 00:18:278 (7,8,1) - Spacing should be consistent between them. They are all 1/1 elements and there is nothing to emphasise either. Explained in previous mod
- 00:21:125 (6,7,8) - Visual spacing from the 1/2 jump 00:21:125 (6,7) - is the same as on normal 1/1 spacing 00:21:782 (7,8) - . Also, I don't think that a jump at this point does fit. ^
- 00:28:351 (6,7,1) - Downbeat spacing change lol Fixed 00:39:300 (2,3,1) - no downbeat jump ehm Don't see anything wrong
Combo Pattern:- 00:11:271 (1) - Remove NC for consistency Sonnyc thinks in diff. way
- 00:53:533 (1) - NC not necessary Vocal on those
- 01:12:146 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6) - Think you should keep the 4 beat NC pattern from the first half of the KIAI. Later you used 4 beat again. Fixed
Other Issues:- 00:55:942 (4,1) - Should be unstacked. The new downbeat circle should have an individual placement. Feels a bit blocked when having to click it on the slider's end. A triangle pattern would work better for flow and transition too. http://puu.sh/s0DjI/1bcc13342a.jpg Fixed

- The spread needs more work for it to be balanced. Especially the Normal. The flow in general could use some improvement too. Despite that the mapset looks nice.
What I liked: Attention to details, Mow without winning in your Q, but with 8 tries (sry for my poor Endlish) Good Ideas, Pictures, Explanations of every point, Good Form of Mod
What I disliked: Too strict, too much not very useful information in the begin
What you could improve: Have nothing to write here
Thanks a lot for free random mod!
