General
- Personal preference, but I prefer the way Grapes positioned his spinner at 00:55:578 (1) - since there are a few drum/piano sounds there after the last vocal on 00:54:804 - . At least in the Platter and Rain, 00:55:578 - would be a really nice place to put a dash or even a hyper and give added intensity to the kiai buildup

- 00:00:997 (1,2,1) - 00:05:643 (1,2) - I don't hear any sound on those tails, so maybe you'd be better off ending each 1/2 earlier to follow the vocal
- 00:39:320 (1,2,3,4) - 00:41:643 (1,2,3,4) - Quite a lot of continuous 1/2 beats here makes this section quite dense, consider replacing these with some 1/1 repeat sliders to follow the vocal

Grapes' Salad
- 00:03:127 (6,1) - Considering this is an introduction to dashing, I would avoid having the first one of the map be a strong, antiflowing 1/2 dash. Since the vocal is weak, you could remove 00:03:127 (6) - and keep a 3/2 dash here which is much more lenient
- 00:06:804 (4,5) - Sharp curvature on these sliders makes it quite easy to droplet miss. A smoother, less curved approach would work better here
- 00:08:352 (1,2,3) - Quite high for a non-dash spacing, suggest moving (2) a little closer
- 00:10:288 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3) - Ambiguous spacings that confuse the player. Way too early and the music is too soft to start throwing in a bunch of 1/2 dashes, so make these more comfortable to walk please
- 00:28:675 (6,1) - Too soft for a 1/2 dash imo, walk would be more fitting
- 00:33:127 (3,1) - Could be larger to emphasize the increase in vocal intensity
- 00:42:417 (4,1) - This section is kinda light on dashes, one here for the vocal downbeat would be cool
- 00:49:385 (5,1) - ^
- 00:51:707 (6,1) - Could be larger to emphasize the increase in vocal intensity
- 00:57:901 (1,2,3) - Ambiguous spacing, looks walkable but easy to miss droplets. I'd make (2,3) - a clearer dash and (1,2) walkable based on intensity. Applies to 01:02:546 (1,2,3) - and later similar patterns also
- 01:06:804 (5,1) - Could be a little larger for more emphasis on the vocal and cymbal
- 01:12:610 (4,5,6,1) - Similar spacings, though the first three are much weaker and should be walkable, whereas (6,1) really deserves a dash
- 01:18:417 (5,1) - Another ambiguous spacing, try increasing this and reducing the previous spacing for better contrast
- 01:20:352 (4,5,1) - 01:22:675 (4,5,1) - ^
Platter
- 00:02:159 (4,5,6) - Considering you're following the vocal for the rest of the intro section, it feels weird that you swapped to piano here on (5) and ignored the vocal sound at 00:02:739 - a good solution would be to use a repeat slider and 1/1 slider like you did at 00:06:804 (3,4) - so the vocal is still dominant and easiest to follow
- 00:20:739 (3,4) - Ambiguous spacing after 1/2 dash could lead to confusion. I'd increase this so the dash is more clear
- 00:23:062 (1,2) - Spacing being a bit too low here creates an uncomfortable flowbreak for me. Perhaps try moving 00:23:449 (2,3,4,5,6) - right a little and rotating to increase this distance
- 00:54:417 (1,2) - I'd increase this for better contrast with 00:54:030 (5,1) - and provide more of a buildup into the kiai
- 01:04:288 (4,1) - Regular dash feels better here for me since there's instrument only, provides a nice differentiation. Another alternative would be to create antiflow on that to highlight the sharper sound - ex. https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8057864

I'd he happy to recheck this once the Salad has gotten a few more mods. Hope this mod helps, and good luck! (:- 00:10:675 (2,3) - Unfitting hyper when you compare the sound intensity to 00:11:256 (3,1) -, so a regular dash would fit better here as you used for 00:12:030 (2,3,1) -
- 00:21:901 (1,2,3) - Feel a bit too squashed to walk comfortably, try spacing these out just a little more. Applies to 00:24:223 (1,2,3) - also, something like 00:26:546 (1,2,3) - spacing is a bit nicer to play imo
- 00:59:062 (3,4) - For following the vocal phrase, a new object on 00:59:643 - sounds much better, so try a pair of 1/2 repeat sliders or repeat slider and 1/1 slider for the vocal hold (kinda) like you did at 01:08:352 (3,4,5) -
- 01:08:739 (4,5) - To be consistent with the above, this vocal here really deserves a stronger spacing
