Hi~
Remember these are just suggestions you can always ignore
~All Diffs~ - This song uses a 3/4 Time Signature, please change this D:
- Delete spyro down of the dragon from tags, since you already have this on source. You may want to delete "final song" too, I'm not sure of how accurate would this be when searching... xD
- I recommend to map all the diffs to the same length... =x
Skin: - You should make custom score numbers or make the HP bar a bit smaller, it covers the first one =x
http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/40971 - As I already told you on IRC, red/yellow combination doesn't fit too much with the purple spyro bar, maybe use a brown/light yellow combination?
~Easy~ - Overall Difficulty -1?
- Use 1 Tickrate? I don't know, 2 feels a bit too much for me, just an opinion.
00:57:945 (1) - Allign with (2) to make the combo look better.
01:16:132 (1) - The endpoint of the spinner sounds weird... next point would be the next white tick, but that's too close of the next note... could you make something with this? >.<
01:31:320 (2) - Allign with (1) and (3) to make the combo look better.
01:38:632 (5) - Fix spacing here!
01:56:445 (1) - Woah this is definitely not good for an Easy =x Fix spacing here!
02:07:695 (2) - Allign with (1) and (3) to make the combo look better.
02:09:945 (4) - Allign with (3) to make the combo look better.
02:21:195 (1,2) - Make these symmetrical?
02:23:445 (1) - Same issue as the previous spinner I pointed out, it sounds weird >.<
~TraceTheKriken's Normal~ - Use the same colors as the other diffs?
- HP Drain -2? It's too high imo...
- Um... What's the reason to have 2.00 slider velocity if you have it halved during the whole map? ._. Use something around 1.20.
01:58:882 (2) - This note feels weird, also it isn't following anything on the song, maybe delete it?
02:01:132 (1) - Finish this spinner on the previous white tick.
02:56:820 (6) - Finish this slider on the red tick.
03:07:132 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - This stream is probably too long for being a Normal diff, maybe try replacing this by a repeating slider?
03:08:445 (1) - Copypasting the chorus once again here would be too much, try mapping something different!! (Though it's already different, but I think you should make something different from the first and second ones)
03:41:820 (1) - A 8 secs spinner is too long, make it smaller and map a bit more D:
03:56:070 (1) - Same here, but this one doesn't make sense while you have something pretty mappable on the music D:
~Hard~ - HP Drain +1-2? It's maybe too low...
- As a start, I'll say that I find the spacing too harsh here, specially when the spacing in Normal is pretty small, reduce it a bit? :/
00:32:820 (2) - Fix spacing here!
01:01:507 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - Try to make cleaner and well-alligned patterns, it will make your map look a lot better.
01:18:570 (1) - This jump is too harsh =(
01:34:695 (12) - Stack properly under (10).
01:37:695 (5) - Stack properly under (1)
02:05:820 (1) - The volume of the hitsounds in this section is too high, mind reducing it a bit? =x
02:14:538 (1) - This spinner is too short :/
02:26:070 (1,2,3,4,5) - This sudden spacing change feels a bit random imo oxo;
02:27:945 (1) - Finish this spinner at 02:31:320? The actual end is too close to the next note >:
02:39:195 (1) - I would say to fix the spacing here... the antijump is so evil ;_;
02:45:757 (5) - Stack properly under (2).
02:50:070 (2) - This volume change is too extreme, increase the volume a bit, maybe leave it like at the next section (02:50:070)?
02:58:695 (7,1,1) - Again, this is too harsh D:
03:17:538 (1) - Too short spinner, I would say this is even unrankable, but it reaches 2000 bonus on Autoplay...
03:23:163 (1) - ^
03:24:945 (x) - Missing note here?
03:42:195 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - ... D:! What happened here ;x; it all goes hype...
04:02:445 (1) - Again, the volume here is too low and the change is too sudden =x
~Insane~ - No breaks? In a 4 minute song? D:!
- I would really leave the beginning unmapped, it's just making a rythm that doesn't exist on the song actually, so just start at the same point as the other diffs >:
- Personally, I don't think the 2x parts really fit the song, I see them more like "how to add difficulty to the map". If you really want a speed up at the choruses though, you can make a slight speed change like maybe... 1.30x-1.50x. Double is too much here.
00:36:570 (1,2,3,4) - Try to mantain the same spacing on the same combo. This spacing change is a bit out of place anyways >:
00:57:945 (7) - Volume is too high here >.<
01:16:038 (1) - End this spinner at 01:18:195.
01:39:570 (1) - Too harsh map imo, it's even more evil when you realize the spacing changes here too D:
01:51:288 (4,5,6) - Move this a 1/4 later (starting on red tick)
02:50:445 (1) - Volume is too slow here! >.<
03:41:257 (1) - Too short spinner =x
03:56:070 (1) - Again the sudden spacing change... =/
This needs a lot of improvement >_<, specially the hardest diffs. Easy and Normal are pretty nice, but then at Hard you start putting high spacings and jumps/streams that don't really fit the song and makes the map much harder than it should be. Insane is pretty overmapped too, most of the jumps or streams feel like you just wanted the map to be HARD and don't fit a calm and nice song like this >.<
Good luck with this!! >w</ The song is soooo beautiful, I loved it <3
