> From the beginning to 00:18:469 - , in these 16 bars (8x2), the progression was not very ideal. I agree with Stefan, there's a density issue all over the non-kiai sessions actually. I am go further for it. But first let's focus on these 16 bars:
- First 8 bars (group A): d k
- Next 8 bars (group B): d k d
k - The hugest problem is that the insertion of notes is not treated well. In the first session, the tail notes are missing ( 00:01:898 - / 00:04:184 - / ...). They are supposed to be mapped to induce an proper end of a repetitive pattern, in stead of 00:00:755 - / 00:03:041 - / .... The current version sounds incomplete. After you have put the head note and tail note (in case), you may add some extra notes in group B from group A patterns. <-- A better progression style I would say.
= Speaking of group B (from 00:09:326 - to 00:18:469 - ), 00:10:755 - / 00:13:041 - / ... are considered as off-beat patterns since the main style you should maintain is a very clean and clear 1/1 gap, matching the drums perfectly (there's only drum sounds though). The notes on the above mentioned timings should be removed so as to create a better step-by-step developments of notes at 00:18:469 - .
-= The main reason for removing most of the notes at the intro. is that the introduction part should be very clean as there is only
ONE element: drums. While, you can hear that there is
ONE MORE element after 00:18:469 - : the melody.
To make you less confused and tl;dr, here are some suggestions about the above words in a nutshell:
00:00:184 (1) -
00:09:326 (1) -
00:18:469 - remain what you have mapped is fine.
It help solve a bit of Stefan and Raiden's concerns about the density issue.
> 00:31:041 - why not putting a d here so as to maintain a really concrete patterns so far? Please look at the originally same patterns at 00:21:898 - / 00:26:469 - . Variation is not really necessary in Kantan.
> 00:34:469 - Urh, LOOOOONG slider in Kantan is just disgusting for me. It is not even Kantan user-friendly. Despite the fact that Kantan level players have to spam the keys for 25 times, slider will mask the silence of the melody in this timing. Leaving a simple d at 00:34:469 - is already good to go since the melody wears off for a while, and such a gap can give enough breaks for players.
> 00:36:755 - D can maintain a consistency of having a d/D as a start for every on-beat.
> 00:37:326 - / 00:41:898 - / ... need not to say, it's a very complex pattern as it extends to kd dk. The don itself at 00:37:612 - / 00:42:184 - is also confusing because it drops right 1/2 beat before the offbeat melody. Try consider removing them as well for the sake of clearer patterns used until Kiai.
> 00:49:612 - d k k d sounds more comfortable and the flow enhances a lot according to the pitch and instrumental part. 00:49:898 - a usual drum kick here so a kat should be put for consistency; 00:50:184 - its pitch is quite high and it can show a great contrast between it and the new start at 00:50:469 - . Also, what you may want is increasing the density so far in the above suggestions, and here's the chance obviously!
> 00:53:326 - / 00:54:469 - where are the kats?
> 00:53:612 - personally I am quite doubted about this kat, it sounds quite off suddenly although it falls on the melody.... It just violates the style you built up at the previous sessions frankly speaking....
> 01:08:755 - a too fanzy style is not recommended. It is quite confusing for using d D. d d D is still okay since there are some notes for preparation. d D sounds like an off-beat pattern from the perspective of Kantan level players you know... they may not be able to respond that fast as you expected. Also, the drum sounds at the background are evenly distributed, so as the notes we put should also be corresponding to the drum hits. i.e. D d D d
! I have no idea how to mod the Kiai part since the current notes are matching the music only(not the drum) very well and the uses of 3/2 are acceptable. One thing triggers me is that you abandon basically all the 4th beat drum kicks. I feel that the mapping channel suddenly shifts to the melody in stead of instrumental part in 180 degree. That's kinda strange.... You may consider re-mapping this part as it may go against your so far mapping style building up. A very limited amount of 3/2 patterns should be used, like only 4 times in these 16 bars at the Kiai session.
> 01:31:041 - similar case at 01:30:755 - , you may get a solution when you are re-mapping probably.
> 01:33:041 - / 01:35:326 - / .... another 1/1 pattern which triggers the SR system to consider them as off-beat patterns. Please refer to what you have changed in the sessions before Kiai.
> 01:49:612 - remove it to make the density flow look better. Nice for 4/1 --> 2/1 , not 4/1 --> 2/1 --> 1/1.
[Futsuu]
! The intro in Futsuu is much better than that of Kantan, you can tell it I guess.... Refer to some mapping advice in Kantan. They are also applicable in Futsuu in most cases.
> 00:34:469 - that slider :<
> 01:04:184 - the mapping style right here is not consistent. 01:08:755 - / 01:09:898 - you leave a 2/1 gap after the Finisher (on-beat). You should also do so since 01:04:184 - . Meanwhile, for every on beat, it should be d/D as you are going to map the other notes as kats. A distinguishment of notes in terms of beat-wise is forseen.
Maybe something like: 01:04:184 (148) -
> 01:13:326 - I am still fond of using D in stead of K, it's up to you. But I want to supplement that 01:12:184 - should be consistent across your difficulties. That means: 01:12:184 - should be d k k (refer to Kantan), and 01:13:326 - can be D now with a really nice contrast at 01:13:041 - which will be a k.
! About the uses of 1/2 in the Kiai, it's really controversibal. The first eye-catching thins is 4 x 1/2. It is just too densed. d dk is fine, for example at 01:13:326 - .
> Meanwhile, from 01:14:041 - to 01:14:755 - / 01:16:326 - to 01:17:041 - / ... for God sake please do put some notes right here and there to make the density flow better. Two things you may notice now: density
spike and density
cleft. Neither of them is expected and wanted. Again, re-mapping in Kiai is probably needed.
> 01:31:612 - oh gosh... I see another spike over this session for 8 bars. A few problems are spotted out: the 4th drum kicks are disappeared as I mentioned in Kantan as well; the uses of 1/2 at 01:32:184 - / 01:34:184 - / 01:36:469 - / ... does not mean anything as far as I try to understand what do they are trying to match or represent; wrong emphasis (places) of using 1/2 (hard to explain, check my suggestion following up)...
To make it less vague, here's another suggestion: 01:31:612 (1) -
(repeat the pattern with some colour variations are fine imo, as Raiden told you before) The uses of 1/2 are pretty balancely distributted, while matching all drum kicks and pointing out the places where the melody has 3/2 patterns (using some 1/2 patterns to represent a relatively higher density).
[]
Something about Oni:
> More 1/4 can be put among the whole difficulty, except 00:55:041 - , where is a relatively calm session and therefore it should have a lower density spread overall speaking.
> 01:15:326 - / 01:17:612 - / ... these Finishers are not needed actually. The background (that drum kick) is not esp.ly strong enough for you to put such emphasis.
Feel free to call me back if you run into problems or misunderstanding!
Good luck for your 2nd mapset!
