As per usual, only accept suggestions you agree with. :3
[General][Muzukashii]
- Be sure to check the kantan's tags, there seems to be a tag conflict happening there.
I'm a little uneasy about the spread from futsuu to muzukashii in terms of density, there's a 276 note difference between these two difficulties, nearly TRIPLE what the spread from kantan to futsuu is.
00:58:489 (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35) - Personally not a big fan of this section, I can hear that your mapping to the bass hits that are happening underneath the main instrument, but I think it'd be easier to follow the main instrument playing on top. The rhythm of that instrument is less off beat than the bass hits, and are much easier to follow in my opinion. In the Oni as well, you've mapped a combination of the two, BOTH the instrument and the bass hits. ok
01:19:650 (20) - There's no musical support for this note, and the song is much calmer here than in other parts, so I don't think this note is needed. Similarly, 01:20:543 (24) - although somewhat supported musically, I would prefer it just be k k d for simplicity. There is a very clear pitch change for the ddd but I'll remove it anyway...
01:24:471 (18,23) - Emphasizing the rapper's syllables isn't necessary, and is kind of awkward to play as well, so I'd recommend deleting these notes. ugh ok
01:32:507 (50) - Similar to 01:19:650 (20) - I literally don't understand what this means
01:35:364 (64,65) - :thinking: I don't think this double is necessary, but if you really would like to keep it, it's alright.
02:03:489 - Not sure if you intentionally missed the triplet placement or not here, but it's worth mentioning that a triplet could go here. idk why it's not mapped
02:12:418 (28,29) - Not supported musically, and this last kiai isn't too intense either. I recommend deleting these two, k k d and then d d k sound nice enough without the triplet. there's literally a triplet whistle but I'll change anyway
I'm kinda strict here about matching the music's triplets because I feel that this song supplies you with enough times for triplets, and in the oni, other complex(ish) patterns, so for a song like this I don't think improvisation of triplets or any patterns for that matter is a good idea.
[Oni]
00:33:310 (18,19,20,21) - Just a minor note that this was 4 kats in the muzukashii, and now it's 4 dons. :joy: Which one do you prefer?
02:29:918 (4,5,6,7) - I think that if you'd like the use 1/6 in this difficulty, you can also use it at places like 02:01:703 (33,34,35) - or 02:02:775 (38,39,40) - , because then 1/6 won't be like just a 1 time thing, it'll be present throughout the difficulty. The 1/6 are supposed to all be removed...
[The Spread Issue]
Back to the possible spread problem, I see that OnosakiHito has also mentioned it, but he was not able to come up with a recommendation because he didn't analyze it the way I'm supposed to. Looking at the pictures Ono has put in his post, the most probable solution would be to add notes to the futsuu to show a gradual increase in difficulty, as in my opinion he is right in saying that the Kantan and Futsuu are VERY similar to one another, so much so that it doesn't really feel like a difficulty increase. After messing around with the notes a little bit I came up with this rhythm for the futsuu, and Ayyri may change it as she wishes, or decline it outright:
I'll put a star on this, as half the set (Kantan and Oni) are very close to ready for bubble, but the other half still needs quite a bit of work. You may call me back when these issues are addressed. I'll let Nishi and Ayyri do their thing.
I'll be back!~
