Open myself up for cyber bullying? Sure, why not Greetings from #modreqs
taking you up on that M4M here.
M4M Map:
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/635284(There's 10 42 second maps, so just pick and choose as many as you feel is justified from this mod)
"Murp's Beginner" & "Perilous Journey" do not require mods at this time.
General:I - File Format:Your Song folder is just over 10Mb which is too large for songs without a video. You might potentially need to lower the bitrate of the audio down from 192kbps to 128kbps.
Alternatively, (and what you probably should do first,) you could use a less weighty image format for your background image. (which is currnetly 1.46mb) Your background image should also be dimensions of either 1920x1080, or 1366x768. Converting the file to a jpeg will make it a much lighter file size.

Generally was sometimes a struggle when reading this to determine which instrument was being followed at what time. It seems to be overall that this map follows either the vocals or synth mainly, and then uses the drums to fill in the gaps left by these instruments. Sometimes it works well. Sometimes it's a little clustered and difficult to understand. 05:07:778 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6) - Just an example section where I've noticed the maps manages to jump between three instruments within the space of 5 seconds.00:14:292 (1) - Quite strong individual hits here. 2 circles stacked around the head of the next slider might represent the sound better. Both the current and suggested configuration play fine tho.
00:16:692 (3,1) - Make these two lines parallel. They are a fraction of degrees off.
00:17:035 (1,2,3) - The spacing of the circle between the sliders is slightly varied compared to before, where the distance from circle to slider on the snare was greater than the previous distance.
https://gyazo.com/0957d16a9308a0a8942e59f447854ae1 something to this effect works fine.
01:22:349 (3,4,5) - Is this spacing intentional? It feels a little strange. (4) could sit just above the tail of the NC slider for a more appropriate spacing, given what's going on in the music here.
01:22:863 (1,2,3,1,2,3) -
I like this pattern. Just thought I'd let you know. 02:02:120 (2,3,4,2,3,2,3,2,3,4) - Starting with 3 circles, then going to circle slider plays a bit strange for the build. Definitely would recommend starting on a circle slider pattern here, it's then your call as to whether you want to progress with SSCC, or SCSC, or potentially be more consistent and select either just circle slider, or three circles. CSSC currently just plays a little strange is all.
02:08:806 (5,6) - Another case of plays a little strange. The 1/2 tick sliders were playing fine for this part of the build.
02:11:549 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1) -
(Opinion) a circle in between 2 and 3 on the blue tick, and converting it to extend the stream a little moves the player into the chorus really nicely.
02:13:606 (1) - This Kiai time feels like an interesting hybrid of following the Vocals and the Drums, which worked out fine in the verse, but the drums are a lot stronger in this section. I'd definitely recommend avoiding representing the music with 1/2 tick reverse sliders anywhere in this section. The active sound of that snare hit is just too strong to represent it with something as passive as this reverse slider. 1/2 tick slider then circle as is done well later on works perfectly fine here.
02:17:549 (8) - 1/4 tick slider, and the same goes for most other instances just after a strong snare hit. Similar to what you did here: 02:20:120 (6,7,1) -
02:25:435 (4,6,1) - Nudge slider up slightly to fit the circles better.
https://gyazo.com/5ddd2bdb334ff7e5b356ba3bfc34253d02:28:006 (3,1) - Blanket could look neater.
https://gyazo.com/de71515b2b1f7564f9b88d53db07fcae02:39:492 (1,2) - Blanket is slightly off.
03:47:378 (3,4) - Keep them stacked, but decrease the amount of overlap, difficult to see, especially since with the AR, you'll see (5) approaching as well.
04:24:406 (2,3,4) - Aesthetics. Stack looks a bit Fug :/
04:24:920 (5,6,1,2) - could centre (1) better between (5) and (6)
05:19:263 (2) - Needs to be stacked on top of the previous slider. Is currently hidden underneath.
05:51:663 -> 06:13:435 (3) - I like this section, but the NC groupings are a little haphazard. Arranging them all as groups of 8 in each combo makes the most sense musically.
Hope at least some of this mod was helpful. Best of luck with this map! It's definitely going in the right direction
