Heya, from m4m.
I will not mod the Oni diff, mainly because I disagree with the entire concept of having this diff for the following reasons:
Good luck
General
- would be much better if you just use a spinner in the beginning until 00:03:953 instead of the current notechains, would sound much nicer, mainly because the current patterns makes the drum sound from hitobjects, the drumroll in the background and the high instrument collide, I don't think this sounds good, at least not at these volume settings.
- Hitsounds are way too lound for the sounds you're following, I'd recommend 40% or so for the entire map, especially in the higher diffs the lound hitsounds make the patterns sound really forced.
- Unsubmitted Oni has some unsnapped objects and the finish on 01:12:312 is unrankable.
- I don't think it's good to have so many objects between 00:49:028 and 00:50:819, I'd suggest you use a finish on 00:49:028 followed by a spinner until 00:49:923 as there are fewer and fewer instruments.

You could have some larger spacings to emphasize the long sounds on the downbeats, for example:
You could have some larger spacings to emphasize the long sounds on the downbeats, for example:
- 00:04:550 move to 00:04:998.
- 00:05:446 remove
- 00:06:341 remove
- The doubles from 00:24:252 don't really work well, I suggest you remove 00:22:461 and 00:22:610 first for a nicer transition into this section and the vocal and add a note on 00:23:505. I also think you could remove 00:24:252 and move 00:24:401 to 00:24:550 and 00:24:699 to 00:25:446
- For a similar reason, you can remove 00:31:416 (2,3) and 00:31:864 and change 00:32:013 to k.
- Move 00:33:058 to 00:32:759 and add notes on 00:33:356 and 00:34:252 for a similar structure.
- I think you can move 00:35:147 to 00:35:296. I feel this would be nicer for structure, and you could remove 00:36:341 as well.
- 00:34:699 remove finish.
- I feel like you could reduce density in the part from 00:36:490 even further by going for the instruments instead of the vocals, this section is so calm. I think you can try something like this for the first part, cursor on 00:40:072. And try something like this, cursor on 00:46:938 for the part starting from 00:43:655.
- Move 01:01:416 to 01:01:117 and add a d on 01:00:968 as the instruments are stronger here.
- In the part after the first kiai I think you should still use 1/2 triples like by adding a note on 01:06:490 as these parts of the song are still relatively similar.

- Move 00:06:341 to 00:04:849 for better consistency within this part.
- See muzu for part from 00:36:490 and use a less-note version of that suggestion.
- 00:51:117 move to 00:52:013 and add a note on 00:59:177.
I will not mod the Oni diff, mainly because I disagree with the entire concept of having this diff for the following reasons:
- The 1/4 feels a bit forced, I think 1/2 patterns are more acceptable for this song since the actual bpm is low and the instruments represent that, the only stuff that would justify 1/4 are the less prominent high sounds in the background which only sounds decent at lower volume in my opinion.
- Diff spread between muzu-oni is relatively similar in some places, especially if you go without the 1/4, which I'd suggest you do since 1/2 patterns would be fine for the instruments. Also, stuff I've suggested above already personally feel like they are very close to the maximum of what the song provides, eg. see the points about the section from 00:04:252 and it's repetition with the vocal or calm part from 00:36:490.
Good luck
