12:47 Murasaki Nova: Hello there, sorry for being annoying, but I wanted to message you to remind you of myself :<
12:48 MrSergio: o
12:48 Murasaki Nova: OwO
12:49 MrSergio: stay here for a while then
12:49 MrSergio: I won't make a post cause too lazy for that
12:51 MrSergio: combo colors please xd
12:51 MrSergio: default ones are sad
12:52 MrSergio:
http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/862824812:52 Murasaki Nova: Okay
12:52 MrSergio:
http://i.imgur.com/2oteFXf.png12:53 Murasaki Nova: OwO Okay i will do so!
12:53 MrSergio: I mean, you can edit them
12:53 MrSergio: just... don't use those sad default colors lol

12:54 MrSergio: 00:23:231 (4,1) - these jumps would work better with more emphasis
12:54 MrSergio: right now, the fact 00:23:412 (1) - this slider body is in the opposite direction of the jump makes for a weak emphasis on the head
12:55 Murasaki Nova: btw, I may be slow in answering your messages cos I use an interpreter due to my lack of knowledge in english
12:55 MrSergio: sure
12:56 MrSergio: btw, I will mainly point out the things I found problematic, but I won't really need a reply so take your time
12:56 MrSergio: it is just easier for me to type in chat instead of forum h
12:56 MrSergio: 00:57:606 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - be careful, since you usually used back and forth movements (00:46:443 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - )
12:57 MrSergio: so pick one sort of flow and stick with it
12:58 Murasaki Nova: Oh, ok so, I'll just let you mod it like that, just mention when you are done so I'll know when to respond
12:59 MrSergio: =w=b
13:00 MrSergio: ah, gotta go out for a few minutes tho, sorry
13:00 MrSergio: (I have to take my mother to work)
13:01 Murasaki Nova: Sure, no problem
13:10 MrSergio: back
13:12 MrSergio: 01:05:018 (5) - I believe that deleting this beat would improve the rhythm, since you make the player focus on the doubles a bit better
13:12 MrSergio: 01:05:629 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - be careful with increasing emphasis. You are telling me that emphasis increase with that pattern, even if we can hear it is similar to 01:02:489 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3) -
13:13 MrSergio: so maybe change movement from vertical to horizontal with every back and forth
13:13 MrSergio: so you keep distances similar to each other
13:14 MrSergio: in general, that back and forth pattern is not the best like that, since it puts too much strain on a rhythm that doesn't change
13:14 MrSergio: 01:19:710 (3) - not sure I can agree with this triplet, since i can't hear it in the song :/
13:15 MrSergio: 01:23:111 (9,1) - you should keep this pattern to just the pre kiai where you used this concept. Having one of these patterns here out of the blue is a bit strange
13:15 MrSergio: 1/2 sliders work better imo
13:15 MrSergio: 01:30:873 (3) - same as the other triplet
13:15 MrSergio: 01:33:664 (3) - same (and so on)
13:16 MrSergio: 01:36:367 (2) - you basically keep starting a triplet on that high pitched instrument, which is playing a long note, note a stream
13:16 MrSergio: keep triplets on drums and the rest on the other instrument
13:17 MrSergio: otherwise it becomes confusionary which one you're using/following
13:17 MrSergio: 01:49:623 (3,4) - ctrl G, but you will need to fix the flow with 01:49:798 (4,1,2,3,4,5) -
13:17 MrSergio: see 01:52:065 (1,2,3,4) -
13:17 MrSergio: it's the same
13:18 MrSergio: with teh stron 1/2 rhythm in the song, streams like 01:53:286 (1,2,3,4,5) - feel out of place
13:18 MrSergio: take 02:00:437 (1,2,3,4) - this spacing and compare it with 01:59:913 (1,2,3,4,5) - . Imo you should increase 02:00:437 (1,2,3,4) - to make it more homogeneous
13:19 MrSergio: 02:22:710 (4) - drum whistle and nothing else. It sounds kinda strange right now

13:24 MrSergio: in comparison, this diff looks more generic than the Extra
13:24 MrSergio: you can clearly see the extra has particular features which appear only on that map, but this diff is rather bland and doesn't show anything in particular
13:25 MrSergio: well, I guess it still keeps some concepts from the extra, but it can be better
13:25 MrSergio: 00:40:164 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - this is still cool for example
13:25 MrSergio: but the intro is really generic
13:26 MrSergio: 01:08:071 (8) - just circle works better
13:27 MrSergio: 02:22:449 (1) - same hitsounding suggested for the other diff
13:27 MrSergio: generally ye, I can't say much since there isn't much to say due to the diff's nature
13:28 MrSergio: I wish it had some more... "something"
13:28 MrSergio: like, something that only this diff has
13:29 *MrSergio is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1314720 LeaF - Alice in Misanthrope -Ensei Alice- [Collab Insane]]
13:30 MrSergio: 01:42:123 (6,7,8) - more spacing between these
13:30 MrSergio: but they work like that too
13:30 MrSergio: up to you
13:30 MrSergio: 02:08:147 (1,2) - unrankable
13:30 MrSergio: do not cover a whole slider with another slider
13:31 MrSergio: the second one is not predictable at all, hence why it is unrankable
13:31 MrSergio: overall this diff is really cool
13:31 MrSergio: it doesn't seem like it's our diff at all, even if it's a collab lol
13:31 MrSergio: your*
13:32 *MrSergio is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1274404 LeaF - Alice in Misanthrope -Ensei Alice- [Hard]]
13:32 MrSergio: 00:20:937 (1,2,3,4,5) - in general the diff seems to lack structure
13:32 MrSergio: structure is basically the meaning you give to your patterns
13:33 MrSergio: in this case, I can't really seem to find a reason why 00:21:643 (2) - this slider has this shape or why 00:22:349 (3,4,5) - these are rotated like that and not in any other way
13:33 MrSergio: it's a matter of establishing some rules for your map and then sticking to them
13:33 MrSergio: it seems to me that we are missing the rules here
13:34 MrSergio: 00:24:279 (4,5) - strong beats should happen on the head, not on the tail
13:34 MrSergio: 00:40:164 (1,2,3,4) - stuff like this can be turned into circles only (1/1) to make more contrast with 00:42:955 (5,6) - and other things around them
13:36 MrSergio: ye... in general it looks like you just made this diff because you had to do it, not because you wanted to do it
13:36 MrSergio: hence why structure is loose and patterns are placed just because
13:38 MrSergio: basically, give a visual rule to whatever you do on lower diffs, because right now it is just an aimless wandering on the playfield
13:38 MrSergio: you could have used a totally different thing and overall the map wouldn't have changed
13:39 MrSergio: and that's not great, since it means that any placement could have made this map
13:39 *MrSergio is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1251638 LeaF - Alice in Misanthrope -Ensei Alice- [Normal]]
13:39 MrSergio: 00:22:349 (4,5) - avoid doing these things, since the player will most likely click right away on the circle
13:39 MrSergio: but we have a pause there
13:40 MrSergio: you should make the flow of things as intuitive as possible on Normal diffs
13:40 MrSergio: see 00:28:478 (3,1) - for example. which is identical, but the rhythm is totally different
13:40 MrSergio: none of those is a good choice imo
13:41 MrSergio: 01:07:897 (4,5) - you don't need these
13:41 MrSergio: 01:15:770 (1) - wild NC appears, lol
13:41 MrSergio: dunno why just that object is a different combo, but you might want to remove that
13:42 MrSergio: 01:31:832 (4) - heck no, my dear
13:42 MrSergio: this is not readable in the least
13:42 MrSergio: if you can't express those doubles in the song, then don't map them at all
13:43 MrSergio: it i way easier to just listen instead of trying to follow something which is not representing the music
13:43 MrSergio: 02:06:741 (1) - no need for NC
13:43 MrSergio: 02:08:147 (3,4) - and pay attention to visual distances
13:44 MrSergio: this is misleading too ^
13:44 MrSergio: 02:20:530 (1,2,3,4) - misleading too
13:44 MrSergio: as I said, if the rhythm is too complex to represent either use a giant slider that covers everything or don't map the rhythm at all
13:45 MrSergio: 02:22:449 (1) - 1/1 slider works better
13:45 MrSergio: the things I mentioned for the Hard are valid for the Normal too
13:46 *MrSergio is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1247189 LeaF - Alice in Misanthrope -Ensei Alice- [Easy]]
13:46 MrSergio: 00:18:819 (2) - I would remove this and all the other similar circles to make it more comfortable in the intro
13:46 MrSergio: it is basically a way to make it more calm
13:48 MrSergio: 02:22:449 (1) - slider here too
13:48 MrSergio: well, I guess that's all I can say
13:49 MrSergio: as I said, the lower part of the set is the one in need for attention here
13:49 MrSergio: try to give some rules to how patterns work and don't just place things where it works "fine". Try to make things work "well"
