From my Q Sorry for slow mod, I've been lazy. (5 days, my latest mod ever :c sorry)
General:
Kiais should start at 01:18:524 02:36:314 and 03:57:244 they are directly after the cymbal count in and are strong beats.
Easy
00:00:733 (1,1,2) - I object to this emphasis. The line goes, "Shoujou no koe ga jibun wo nao yonderu". The emphasis is on the sho in shoujou, the ga, the ji in jibun, the wo, and the ru in yonderu. Instead of a reverse slider, the ga is strong enough that it deserves at least a slider tail. Then, probably a a circle on ji in jibun or a 1 meaure slider, then you could have that reverse slider on wo naoyon, and then a circle on the ru. That's what I would do at least, but you are free to do as you please. I just don't agree with this emphasis at all.
00:18:872 (2) - less of a problem, but I would just have a a circle on this. you have a slider on mostly nothing. it also ends in the middle of a word.
00:40:675 (2) - everything else is mapped to drums, why is this mapped to vocals?
01:18:175 is a massively strong beat, or more precisely, 01:18:698 but for an easy I would just do a slider from 01:18:175 to 01:18:698. They literally have the cymbals do a count in for this beat to emphasize it. Should be the start of kiai, let alone get a note. Your note, 01:18:524 (1) is on a relatively insignificant drumbeat. You should be mapping vocals here, especially in an easy. Listen to how loud the vocals are here compared to that drum. The drum is what's known as a downbeat. Don't map on the downbeat.
I just don't agree overall with mapping to the soft drum beats and guitar over the vocals that are clearly emphasized. I think this diff should be reworked. Sorry :/
Not gonna point out every instance of when the song builds up and you map to some soft drums on the downbeats in the background, but there's a lot more.
Normal
00:07:710 (4,5) - you mapped these to quiet cymbals that are about as loud as a whisper over the strong beat on 00:07:535 I just don't understand dude
The strong beat is once again on 01:18:698. This should be mapped with a circle on 01:18:175, one on 01:18:349, and nothing on 01:18:524 (1). The slider 01:18:872 (1) should be moved to start on 01:18:698
I have serious issues with you mapping to quiet percussion when vocals are 2-3x as loud. It's counterintuitive and at difficulties like easy and normal, just wrong.
Sorry to be so harsh >< I just don't know any other way to say it.
Hard
00:23:756 (3,4,5,6) - I like how the beat on 6 is properly emphasized with a longer jump, but the 3 and 6 overlap is kinda ugly. I'd rotate by 25 degrees clockwise around *playfield* center. Jump is still reasonable, I think.
00:29:338 (2,3,4,5) - ^
00:31:779 (2,1,2,3,4,1) - i don't like this patterning. move 2 to the right (the first 2), in the direction the slider before it was pointing because flow is broken. move 4 and 1 down so its the same jump but slightly below the following slider, and stack them.
00:42:942 (2,3,4) - why
00:51:489 (3,5) - this one is particularly egregious.
even if it's on purpose, these look bad to me. go through and fix some of the ugly overlaps. some look nice, but others don't
i'll point out the ones that I find really bad
02:39:803 (1,2,3)
03:17:128 (4,5)
just so I don't sound totally negative, I'm gonna point out some positives.
02:59:338 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - is mapped really well. accurately reflects the music.
last but not least
04:34:744 (2,3,4,5,6) - these jumps seem out of the blue. maybe make them more easy to follow.
Reunion of Goodbye
00:19:919 (4,5) - what is this mapped to?
00:36:489 (4,1) - this flow is really strange and not emphasizing anything in particular
00:45:384 (1,2,3,4,5) - this patterning looks bad and flows worse.
01:15:558 (2,3,4,1) - the jump from 4,1 jump is like 2x as big as the others. It should be bigger than the others because of emphasis, but this is a little overkill imo
01:53:582 (1,2,3) - what is this counterintuitive flow emphasizing?
01:54:803 (6,1) - ^
02:07:012 (3,4) - this flow is just too weird, even if emphasizing the no you ni
02:50:965 (1,2,3) - what is this counterintuitive flow emphasizing?
02:56:024 (6,7,1) - because 6,7 is a jump, you should put 1 under 7 where the slider is pointed. it's super important for flow.
03:11:198 (3,4,5,6) - i dont like how this pattern looks
now for a positive!
03:27:244 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - is a perfect representation of the music. love it.
04:02:477 (2,3,4,5) - would put a bigger angle between 3 and 4 for looks and flow.
despite recommending a lot of changes, I really like the Reunion of Goodbye diff. Good luck!
