Just somethings about Taiko.
@kanpakyin:
1. Using Big notes
Please using big notes only when somewhat epic, or strong beat, and using those consistent way. Big notes are quite noticeable so if you put those too randomly, that will harm integrity of the map and flow of the notes and song.
00:04:974 (1) - What's differentce from this one from 00:01:731 (1) or 00:03:352 (1) or 00:06:596 (1)? 00:04:974 (1) stands out too much.
00:15:514 (1) - This part is quite quiet and there's not that strong beat here, and there's a big note, I just can't understand.
00:33:352 (1) - Same as 00:15:514 (1). And it's not that sound differnt from 00:32:947 (1), but you just used big notes only here.
00:45:920 (1) - Usually in start of the first measure of chorus, there is a strong beat, so this is reasonable to put big note.
00:57:069 (1) - This is good cause this part is chorus, so it's somewhat epic, and the song itself is emphasizing here.
2. Using long Streams
I constantly point out this cause those long streams are way too much. Streams can be one way to emphasize certain part, but you need to consider whole difficulty of the map, otherwise you will make the 'borderline' players, who thinks this kind of difficulty is challenging, depressed cause there's too high difficulty difference in certain part of the map and that simply blocks the way. (a.k.a. This Taiko map has disturbed difficulty-spread along the map.) You are not mapping the map for yourself. You should map the map for 'target players' who will enjoy the map most.
00:34:771 (1~1) - This is 15 notes long 1/4 streams and this is the hardest. Let's find the next hardest one, hmm... I'd say ddkdk, or kdddk? Anyway there's no streams longer than 5 note-long other than that, so I can say there is a huge difficulty difference. So, how many players can deal which ddkdk but suck with ddkdddkdddkdkdk? Quite a lot, I guess. For most of those players, that long streams are simply imposible. I know there are lots of good players can deal with this, but those are not your 'target players' this time.
(Those streams are not only long, but also very hard. Usually streams get easier when it consist of elements like 'dd' and 'kk', but mixing elements like 'dk' or 'kd' makes it difficult. You know this, right?)
Last time I pointed out, your reaction made me quite sad. You said you asked about certain streams for other players, and got a positive answers, yes? Who are they, they are the players who can deal with any streams. So, for them, if it's sounds somewhat good, anything is ok. Simply thinking with stance of noob players can resolve this, but nobody do that.
Other than that, pattern using is somewhat improved compared with before, though still somewhat random to me. (I've said I'm quite conservative about this kind of stuffs.)
Try considering whole composition and integrity of map?
