M4M with Roseus, not a lot of stuff to say on this map
Good luck with the set!
[ General ]
- The hitsounds in the first section feel too quiet. Putting the volume at 60-65% would be much better
- The kiai should be starting on 00:48:662 - since the weak drums on 00:48:799 - don't work very well to start off the most intense part of the song. Starting on the vocals makes much more sense
- The current source is wrong, it should be "Free!-Eternal Summer-" from the official site: http://iwatobi-sc.com/title/
- imo the tick rate 2 in the platter and rain do more bad than good. You often have slider tick noises over absolutely nothing, especially on some of the longer 1/1 or higher sliders
[ Cup ]
- 00:14:708 (2) - The circle here isn't on any sound that's really important, and compared to the rest of the map where you follow strong vocals or drums it just feels out of place. Having it on 00:14:708 (2) - would be better
- 00:41:435 (2,3,4) - 00:43:617 (2) - Make these consistent with one another. Either way works but I prefer the reverse slider for a cup
- 01:16:071 (1) - This slider should start on 01:16:208 - to catch the vocal there
[ Salad ]
- Put the diff at HP4 so it's right between the HP3 of the cup and the HP5 of the platter
- 00:10:617 (1,2,3) - Rhythm here could be done much better since 00:11:162 - there's no sound here. Doing it like the image below makes it so you don't map to a sound that's not there and you have a circle and not a slider end on that last important soundx
- 00:56:299 (3) - There should be a dash to this note
- My only other issue in this diff is the dashes of the first section. Compared to the kai that uses 1.95x for it's dashes, the beginning uses 1.60x. This makes a lot of the dashes pretty ambiguous, and when playing they feel weak, like there is not enough impact to the dash. Using 1.75x or 1.80x would make it much better, while still keeping the dashes different than the kiai ones
[ Platter ]
- 00:04:071 (1,3) - I'm not too big in scrunched up triples like this. Giving them more of an angle would be better
- 00:17:435 (2,3,4) - Triple here is overmapped. This part is in 1/3 as far as I can tell. It should be like the image below, but even then I'm 99% sure this is because of an error by the drummer, so the best thing to do would be to remove 00:17:503 (3) -
- 00:15:526 (3,4,5) - Here the triple should be 00:15:662 (4,5) - with a circle on 00:15:730 - and not 00:15:594 -
- 00:29:571 (2,3,4) - To reduce note density here you could remove 00:29:708 (3) - entirely or have a slider from 00:29:571 (2,4) -
- Some of the hyper dashes in the kiai are much to big for a platter, especially since the tempo of the song is quite fast. While the trigger distance is around 2.70x, some of the hypers are around 3.2-3.6. Like 00:44:435 (1,1) - 00:50:708 (7,1) - 00:53:026 (6,1) - 00:57:252 (7,1) - 00:59:571 (8,1) - 01:25:753 (2,1) - (4.04x) The movement here is much too strong for a platter, since it's supposed to be an introduction to hyperdashes.
- 01:04:889 (2,3) - This should be an hdash, it's the ending of the most intense part of the song and you put hdash on much weaker sounds than it before 01:00:662 (4,1) -
- 01:02:980 (1) - Remove the reverse and have a slider from 01:03:389 - 01:03:662 - since you're missing the vocals otherwise. You had it correctly in the salad. Same here 01:04:071 (1) -
- 01:05:435 - Missing vocal here
- 01:03:799 (2,1) - Same goes to here, but this one could be only a dash to serve as buildup to the ending
- 01:11:162 (2) - End this slider on 01:11:435 - and have a circle on 01:11:571 -
- Last thing I want to bring up is the undermapping of the two kiais. The difference in note density compared to Roseus' part is so big, it's unfitting for the most intense part of the song to suddenly be much less dense..The 100% vocal focus feels lacking
[ Rain ]
- Rain is a bit too hard for me so I'll try my best
- 00:15:526 (3,4,5) - Same as the platter, the note on a blue tick should be on 00:15:730 - and not 00:15:594 -
- 00:40:753 (4) - Could add a circle here, cutting off the burst here doesn't really work
- 00:46:071 - Missing some pretty important drums and vocals here
- 01:24:117 (2) - The vocal here kinda continues so this would be better as a slider that ends on 01:24:117 (2) -
- 01:24:389 (3,1) - Should be an hdash
Good luck with the set!
