1. doesn't really agree with your combo pattern which is based on vocal sentences, since sometimes the combos are too long, and there would be times when perspectives to differ each sentence out among the players are different. consider to arrange up your combos and follow the combo pattern based on beat count, as implemented in other difficulties.
2. 02:04:514 (1,2,3) - 02:06:514 (5,6,7) - distance-time should be followed, considering that the 1/4 jump pattern is implemented soon after 02:03:514 (10,11) - in which confusion will be caused
3. 02:41:014 (2,3) - maybe avoid the pattern to provide players a better reading?
4. 03:07:514 (5) - as in normal

1. 01:12:514 (1,2,3) - maybe this first introduction of 1/4 jump will be assumed as a diff spike? idk mayb merge 01:13:014 (3,4) - up becoming a slider as an early introduction
2. 01:40:264 (5) - would be cool if the note is differentiated by a stand-alone circle from the consecutive 1/4s before to emphasize the sudden halt

The vocal phrases always align almost exactly with the downbeats except that they are mostly one beat earlier, which i sbeing evend out since the following phrase most like starts one phrase earlier too. High-number-combos like the one at 02:08:014 would still have 14 hitobjects if I NC'd it by downbeats (altho I noticed rn that I could just put additional NCs at 02:11:560 and similar spots so I did that, also I forgot one at 02:46:514 -). tl;dr: It makes barely any difference.
2. 02:04:514 (1,2,3) - 02:06:514 (5,6,7) - distance-time should be followed, considering that the 1/4 jump pattern is implemented soon after 02:03:514 (10,11) - in which confusion will be caused I don't see how this would be confusing just bc a previous 1/4 has been spaced, this sorta pattern has already been used at 01:48:514 (3,4,5) -(which is also the same lyrics) so it shouldn't be surprising or anything
3. 02:41:014 (2,3) - maybe avoid the pattern to provide players a better reading? This is much easier to read ingame than it seems in the editor, and this diff has quite many tricky 'gimmicks' anyways so I think that's a reasonable thing to do
4. 03:07:514 (5) - as in normal Slidertails don't need to be mapped to an active beat when the sliderbody itself is representing a sound, which is the case here, most of the 'background-noise' (in particular that one noise that sounds almost like the drum-sliderslide lol) is still continuing and then ends where the slider ends

Cmon it's pretty obvious what i'm doing here. Snares and other instruments are ignored to give full emphasis on vocals.
3. 00:59:514 (1) - suggest to split the slider into 1/1 followed by a circle, in order to differentiate the glitch sound and the start of the vocals I wasn't trying to represent the glitch sound with my mapping but rather continue to emphasize long vocals with long sliders
4. 01:13:514 (1) - accidental nc + 01:34:014 (1,2) - would suggest to swap the combos Did first but didn't do 2nd because the repeat is stronger than the red tick just after
5. 03:08:264 - the ending point should be 1/2 beat earlier to land on the last keyboard note, which is at 03:08:264 - . same as in hard and insane I think we both try to stop the slider with the vocals here. makes more sense following that than the very faint piano imo

Bonsai's Hard

1. 01:08:514 (2,3,4) - please enable stacking in editor and manual stack these xD
   01:10:514 (6,7) - 01:24:514 (2,3) - etc... yeah those are on purpose, firstly because I actually like how those look, secondly because they differentiate the different time-gaps since 3/4 is only used in these patterns and they're all stacking like this
2. 02:01:764 (5,6,7,8) - considering the calm part and the general note density, what do you think about a circle + repeat slider instead? It should be easier and less stressful in this part imo I see but I find every way of using a slider here very weird though because they'd either give wrong emphasis or play very awkwardly, and I think this is totally okay since everything around it is not dense at all so ya.. (also I guess it would take away the possibility to make 02:18:514 (8,1,2) - even less intense lol)
   02:17:764 (4,5,6,7) - etc...
3. well, I'm obviously not at the right level to comment about this with certainty, but wouldn't it be hard to read 02:04:514 (1,2,3) - and 02:05:264 (3,4) - as different snaps? The visual spacing is the same... Hard-players aren't 100% relying on visual spacing anymore though, they mostly know of jumps and antijumps already, the used rhythm/objects should make this very intuitive since reading it any other way would make for the weirdest rhythm ever, and I already start using 'confusing' spacing at 00:20:014 (3,4,1) - which even my sucky #230k-testplayer got right so ya xd
4. 02:25:514 (5,6,7,1,2) - this might be hard to interpret too in gameplay. My concern is more about the logic someone may use for this, rather than the pattern itself.
   As an experienced player I have no troubles memorizing and recognizing the concept for 02:26:389 (6,7) - or any other pattern, but I believe that what matters here is how often you visually change things. Changing too often the only reference (visual spacing_ the player has might be a bit too harsh yet imo again I think this is not misleading at all bc of the rhythmic context, it starts with the harder 3/4-rhythm while the following rhythm isn't visible at all so that by itself shouldn't be a problem since it occurred like that before, and the following rhythm is as basic as it can get so I don't see that being an issue
5. 02:43:014 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - a bit hard to read too if you ask me ^_^" welp, can't say much about this other than that I think if a player can read the parts where I switch between 1/4- and 1/2-stacks then they can read this too lol, that's just simply the reading-skill required by the targeted audience of the overall diff

If you can get a testplay from... let's say, a 300k player, we can actually confirm my doubts (or not) wasn't successful at getting anybody so far except a #200k who sucked at the entire map, will try again tmrw lol

________________

Insane

1. 00:12:514 - 00:18:514 - idk, I may be imposing my vision here, but this intro is a bit too dense, since you followed more background music than things I can hear in foreground: for example 00:12:514 (1) - would be cool with just a circle, stacked on 00:13:014 (2) - 's head, or for 00:15:514 - I would probably try to focus a bit more on vocals and do something like this ok so i tried many things and i really don't feel comfortable undermapping the intro right now. I tried changign stuff my way in many places and removing things feels super awkward because there are beats i miss that i deem important (most of the 1/2 filler rythm). When putting it into contrast with the part that is following everything gets really imbalanced density wise. Imo the intro works as is, it's slower and way less intense than the rest of the map
2. 00:25:514 (4,5,6,1) - why the sudden increase in spacing? I could understand it for 00:26:264 (6) - since it seems to be a strong vocal, but the rest ?.? Someone suggested i put jumps here i think because of the bass sounds which i thought made sense. anyways i reduced it a bit so that it's not as extreme anymore
3. 00:28:014 (4) - I suggested something similar in my first point: what do you think about a stacked circle on 00:28:514 (1) - instead? It creates a nice contrast with the next section in the song, so it feels less "spammy" with all that 1/2 stuff I don't really like that as it would ignore the strength of the downbeat completely
4. 00:35:014 (2) - curving this a little like this is a no-go? /w\ I guess this is just a matter of preference , I absolutely love combinations of straight sliders and curved sliders with opposite angles. I think the parallelism with 00:33:514 (3) - works very well too
   The straight shape just felt a bit off in the whole combo (you have just curved sliders + 00:32:514 (1,2) - is a similar concept and uses curved stuff too)
5. 00:46:014 (5,6) - this is more of a personal flow I think, so it might not be of your linking, but if you shift these a bit to the bottom, like this, you create a "hopping" feeling that fits well with the song imo. Your patterns creates weird interactions with other objects (overlaps) but it gave me ideas
   Perfect back and forths should be reserved for really strong parts, since they are indeed the movements with the highest amount of emphasis i do not 100% agree with that as jumps with small angles are usually easy to play compared to obtuse angles.
6. 01:05:014 (3,4,5) - minor once again, but what do you think of moving this stack to x311 y267? Do you not think the equilateral triangle formed by the triple and the 2 other circles looks better? I also think speed is easier to manage with the current spacing considering the next slider is already pretty far away
   This suggestion is based on some flow analysis I do in my head but don't really change much. It's just a matter of feeling so feel free to ignore it if you don't like it
7. 01:19:014 (2,3) - this stack seems to be quite inconsistent with the rest: all of the other patterns on this sort of rhythm were like 01:20:014 (5,6) - (spread instead of stacked). Is there a way to spread these two too? there is
8. 01:18:514 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3) - just noticed, but at times your structures are just... going poof. With that I mean that I personally can't find a solid base as to why those objects are placed exactly like that and with those shapes so uh, i don't really know what you call "good" structure but i'll try to explain. 01:18:514 (1,2,3,4) - equal spacing between each other 01:19:514 (4,5,6) - same 01:20:514 (1,2,3) - same the rest are just combinations of slidershapes and angles i like. Idk if you care about that but i usually don't form patterns with too much symmetry in mind. Hence why i sometimes do the srtaight slider curved slider thing you mentionned earlier. Imo it gives my map a bit more personality than just copypasting patterns i see in other maps
9. 01:27:514 (1) - x20 y90? agreed what am i doing
10. 01:22:014 (1) - you probably don't need this NC alright
    Same goes for 01:23:514 (1) - 01:25:514 (1) - 01:27:514 (1) - 01:29:514 (1) - imo. This part just starts using smaller combos for... what reason? x) i just left the starship one as i think the song justifies it. also goes well with the change of direction idk
11. 01:40:264 (5) - just to be sure, can you make the distance before this circle a bit smaller than the one after it?
    While it is true we have approach circles to read the pattern, I believe it might be confusing to have two different snaps with same visual spacing, above all if we notice how you play around with spacing in this part I'm actually gonna go futher than that and argue that this will never be confusing in game as the whole part uses those 1/4 sliders so people know what's gonna happen. 01:39:264 (5,1) - 01:39:014 (4,5) - they're gonna be aware of what is gonna be happening i'm sure. also the clicking pattern is very intuitive so no worries i'd say
12. 01:46:514 (1) - imo a circle would fit better to express that vocal :p LOCK
13. 02:20:514 - this kiai has no punch at all, even if it is stronger than the part before it.
    Maybe increase SV, or at least increase spacing for at least 02:20:514 (1,2,3,4) - to give the "punch" feeling ur right, remapped something
14. 02:48:014 (6,7) - what do you think about a ctrl G? The beat on 6 is the same as for 02:47:014 (2) - , but 2 had a pretty big jump on it to match the emphasis while 6 doesn't idk having the 2 snares in the same place pleases me xd
15. 03:05:014 (2) - maybe move to x339 y215 (to keep the curve for 03:04:514 (1,2,3) - clean) and then ctrl G (to match 00:56:514 (1,2,3) - from the intro) ? eh i don't really want the exact same pattern as the one in the beginning. The concept stays the same so i'd say it's fine that way?

Some of the changes I suggested were on things appearing just once, like the short combos part, 01:19:014 (2,3) - or 00:46:014 (5,6) - etc... So the main reason for those is just consistency more than anything

Normal

1. it would be nice to keep things consistent between 00:15:014 (1,2) - and 00:12:514 (1,2) - , so what do you think about deleting 00:12:514 (1) - and using a circle at 00:13:014 - ? eeeeeh i don't like the idea. for it to be 100% consistent i'd have to map 00:12:514 - with a sliderend too. I don't really think consistency matters here
2. 00:53:514 (3,1) - I'd either delete 1 and make 3 longer, or reduce 3 to just a 1/1 slider.
   The fact you skip 00:54:014 - (a strong, drum beat) and map 00:54:264 - (a background beat? Not sure) is a bit contradictory to me x) the complete reasoning is : Vocal is more important than everythign else here. Random beat is mapped because it's the downbeat and thus the strongest beat of the measure. Also there is conviniently no vocals there xd
3. 00:59:514 (1) - you don't need this NC :p deleted this nc and the one at the end
   You technically can do that since there is a strong vocal on the slider, but shortening so much combos on lower diffs is just... a cluster if you ask me xD
   (your combos are generally at least 4 beats long too)

02:34:764 (2,3,4) - would make sense to space cause you did that for similar vocals. or also stack 02:35:514 (5,6,7) - cause music is getting much less intense. i spaced and nerfed spacing on 2nd one, completely stackign felt a bit off but current spacing is aonly for aesthetics really
