2. Hard (4.85 stars, 253 notes)
3. Normal (4.13 stars, 157 notes)
4. Ono's Taiko Oni (4.83 stars, 550 notes)

1. Both diff. got too fast slider velocity. maybe 1.0 for normal and 1.5 for hard.
2. Don't just follow the beat to place notes~ you will miss something and difficult for players to get the rhyme.
3. Not recommended to use whistle in this music it is too loud for me.
4. Try to make an Easy for new players.
5. Click two times on slider to make it black circled to add hitsounds.
6. Use distance snap. Holding alt and move your notes. this makes the arrangement tidy.

1. This one is much better than Hard~

Yeah... it's been a long time since you posted on my queue, sorry for the wait orz.

General:
You need a difficulty under 3 stars to be ranked. Consider making an easy or making normal easier.
Try using hitsounds more often? I'm not too good with them myself, but someone might be able to help you with those.
I don't like the repeating sliders that are short and vary in length, because it's really hard to tell how long to hold those, especially in Normal.

Normal:
00:10:122 (3,4) - I don't like overlapping sliders like this, maybe see 00:18:849 (3,4) - for something I prefer. That's my personal opinion, though, it's technically fine.ok

01:08:486 (12) - Maybe replace with a note and then a slider, like so:
ok
01:30:849 (4,5) - Spacing (too close together)i think it's fine

Nice music, I can see a lot of potential on your maps. The slider art in easy was appreciated. Starred!

A lot of problems need to be fixed Lol...
you still need to learn more about the mapping functions, check for them in the forum~
star for encouragement Thanks for the star

1. your MP3 has a bitrate of 96kbps, it's recommended to use a 128~192kbps MP3 file, try to find a better one
2. title: Ancient Groover. (capitalize 'G', ref: wikipedia)
3. [Easy] has different tags as [Normal] and [Hard], please makes them the same, also suggest adding tags: RO.

1. sync new combo with high white ticks is usually better (and it's better in your case, too), pic:
   
   check the [Easy] diff mod below to find some example of misplaced new combos
2. keep distance snap, distance multiplier is shown at top-right corner of the editor, check the 00:18:849 part of the mod and you'll know what i'm saying.
3. keep the rhythm, see the [Easy] mods which i told you to add notes to understand how, of course you can bring variety to your mapset by introducing different rhythm, but they must be intuitive and sounds good..
4. you need a hitsound pattern, not like how you did in 0:09~0:15 in your [Easy]: place 8 normals and then place 4 claps (you did similar things in other diff too), the most basic hitsounding skill is called 2/4 white tick hitsounding, which means place hitsound on 2nd/4th white ticks and leave all other points without hitsound, pic:
   
   it has different form like 3/7 or 4/8 white ticks hitsounding, i'll give an example of 3/7 below (Easy diff), try to understand yourself and go hitsounding your other part/diff:
5. 00:10:121 (2) - clap
6. 00:12:303 (6) - clap (only startpoint, don't clap the whole slider)
7. 00:14:486 (3) - clap
8. 00:16:667 (1) - due to pattern this one should have clap, but since it's a transformation between paragraph, we leave it without hitsound, and...
9. 00:17:758 (3) - finish here, to indicate it's the start of a new paragraph.
   
   ok now mod.
   
10. if you're going to keep the square pattern (grid snap/distance snap/parallel movements), suggest you go press Ctrl+1 to enter grid lv4 and adjust your notes a bit, this is small but will makes your layout neat and tidy (which is important when you're applying square pattern), since it's small i'll only give <00:10:667> (3,4) for example, you decide if you want to fix the whole layout through the map:
    (3) -->
    (4) -->

1. 00:16:667 (1) - remove new combo
2. 00:17:758 (3) - new combo
3. 00:18:849 (4,5,6,1,2,3) - keep the 1.00x spacing
4. 00:25:121 (4) - delete note
5. 00:25:940 (x) - add note
6. 00:26:212 (x) - add note, this provide better rhythm
7. 00:40:667 (x) - add note
8. 00:41:758 (x) - add spinner, end at 00:43:940
9. 00:48:303 (1) - delete
10. 01:00:304 (1) - remove new combo
11. 01:03:031.. - i don't think you need a break here and it breaks the music flow, just map this part
12. 01:21:031 (5) - new combo
13. 01:22:107 (1) - remove new combo
14. 01:24:849 (1) - remove new combo
15. 01:25:394 (2) - new combo
16. 01:36:303 (1) - end at 01:38:485 instead
17. 01:45:031 (1) - end at 01:47:212 instead

01:35:214 (4) - clap maybe? thx
looks quite good , i like it

Normal:
00:50:617 (3) remove it and place circle or silence the end of the slider , i don't really like it
00:54:984 (4) same as above
01:35:231 (4) maybe it sounds better with clap at first hit (not at the end) thanks, made a mistake here
01:43:940 (2) same as above took off the finish and added clap
01:47:080 (2) remove it and place a circle there or silence the end of the slider OR place a circle there and at 01:47:490

For the places i commented on, another mapper actually suggested changing it to that. Something constant is easy for the players to follow. Part of it is actually on the 1/8th note but i didn't want to use the 1/8 so i used the slider.
i won't mod hard cuz i'm newb.

This is the best time for your beatmap's kiai time. sorry, don't want to use kiai time.
00:48:303 ~ 01:05:758


[Easy]
First, it would be better if you lessen the slider tick rate into 1. nah

00:09:031(1) Finish sound at the beginning of the slidernah
00:18:849(2) Clap sound ok
00:25:394(4,5,6,7) I think it is a little hard for [Easy]. Try something else so that it can be easier. nah
00:33:031(3) Make it more symmetric: Move the slider 1 tick to right & move the curve point 1 tick to left fixed
00:39:031(5) Eliminate the clap sound ok
00:39:576(6) Eliminate the clap sound and add finish sound at the beginning of the slider eliminated clap sound but did not add finish
00:39:576(6,7) I think it would be better if you make 6,7 as one slider. Not slider and circle. changed to single slider
01:03:167(2) Nice try, but... I think it is bad for easy. Just set the beginning point at 01:03:576 and the ending point at 01:04:121 or you can make other try~ i think i will stick with this for now
01:04:667(3) Clap sound ok

Ok, great!


[Normal]
GOOD.


[Hard]
00:18:849(2,3) What are the meaning of these notes;;; you'd better get rid of note 3. i think it suits the music
01:33:303(5,6) Making these notes as one slider would be better i think they're ok


OK, sorry for being late

I think this song is great. It makes me relaxed

Hi there~
From my riddle modding queue

SPOILER

General

Did you consider to add Kiai-Time at your diffs?
I would probably add Kiai from 00:26:485 - 00:39:577 and 01:23:213 - 01:36:303. don't really want to use kiai

Hard

These Hitsounds.... Oh....My....God....
Let's say... I would use the claps more at the parts where I would also use Kiai, and then throughout the song may some claps but most of the time whistles... finishes where needed apparently.
Since it's easier for me to show you what my ideas are, I'll just give you a file where I would feel like "this sounds ok." (no offense intended here~, Everyone has a different hearing and taste for hitsounds~ :3)
Note: If you use that file, make sure you make a backup of your own latest copy so you can replace it easily again.

00:17:212 (8,1) - Remove finish from 1 and add it on 8. i think it's ok
00:32:758 (10,11,1) - Add NC at 10 and remove it from 1.... ok
00:45:849 (3) - I would add a finish here~ ok
01:42:576 (3) - ^^
00:46:121 (1) - Add finish at the beginning of this slider.^
01:42:849 (4) - ^^
00:50:621 (3) - Slider doesn't fit in my opinion~, change it to a single note~ i don't think a single note fits either...
00:54:985 (3) - ^ ^
01:05:758 (1) - Combo starting from here on is too long... (15 notes x_x)... try to split it up~ ok
01:14:486 (1) - ^ ^
01:27:577 (8) - Add NC here. k
01:44:894 (6,7) - Add finish on 6 and 7. added finish on 7

I attach the file I mentioned as already said, use parts which you like of it. Otherwise, I would like to see if you changed at least the things I stated above for this diff.

Normal

Well, I guess if you take at the Hitsounds of the file I'll attach for your Hard diff, you probably see how I would use them here as well....

00:28:122 (1) - I see what you try to do here, but I would appreciate it if you could remove the NC here. Because of the claps from the "stream" before, I would add a finish on this. ok
00:30:304 (1) - ^ ^
00:36:577 (1) - Remove NC. ok
00:46:122 (1) - Add finish to the beginning~ ok
01:42:849 (1) - ^ ^
00:50:621 (3) - Same as in Hard, Slider doesn't really fit here.~, Since this is a Normal, could you change 00:50:077 (1,2,3) into a slider with repeat then? ok
00:59:349 (4) - ^ ^
01:01:394 (1) - No finish here like at 00:52:667 (1)? it is at 01:05:758 (1)

I guess that's all for Normal then.

Easy

Same with the Hitsounds as in Normal, you see how I would probably use them here as well when taking a look at the attached file.

01:01:394 (1) - No finish at the beginning like at 00:52:667 (1)? it is at 01:05:758 (1)
01:22:121 (1) - I would probably remove the NC from here~ ok

I guess that's all for Easy....

Well, other than what I could find I guess you did a pretty good job there.
Maps still need some work probably but other than that...^^
I hope you're going to map stuff like Rose of Sharon or Into the Arena too~ :3
Star for you~

Hello.

Remove Background Music Game from Tags.BGM is fine enough.

I should also mention that MP3's bitrate is below ranking criteria,it should be between 128-192 kbps.

So,use this link if you want to get a MP3 with a higher quality.
Thanks to Armin for sharing a link :> Thanks for sharing! I was looking for it.

[Easy]
Claps so sound disgusting,really..
Maybe you could change them with whistles?

00:09:031 (1) - Finish?
00:35:212 (1) - Finish and how about using plain slider shape? Cause this curve looks a little weird.And yeah,it's few grids out of Distance Snap,so fix it.
00:39:576 (6) - This slider almost overlaps with 00:38:485 (4) and it doesn't look so good.How about using this pattern?

SPOILER

00:41:212 - Add a note here to keep the rhytm on,or just start a spinner from here.
01:03:167 (2) - What is this? Start it from white tick (01:03:031).
01:40:667 - Finish fits really well.

[Normal]
Approach rate doesn't perfectly fit the map's speed,I would use AR4 for this one.

Also,remove all these short breaks.They're unrankable.

00:13:395 (1,2,3,4) - Make it symmetrical?
00:15:440 (5) - Uh..what can I say..I'd like you to use 00:15:303 note instead of 00:15:440.
00:28:122 (6) - Huh? A jump? No way,it's only Normal,fix distance,please.
00:30:303 (6) - ^
00:30:849 (7) - New combo.
00:40:940 (1) - Again.Don't jump,please.
00:43:940 (1,2,1,2) - These are acceptable to me,but still..
00:47:213 (2,1,3) - Just HOW?



00:50:076 (3) - Anyway,use new combo and it shouldn't be snapped on blue tick.Use white/red.
00:54:440 (2) - ^
00:55:667 (3) - Oh come on -_- What does it follow?
00:58:804 (2,3) - Distance isn't correct and these blue ticks are hard to read.
01:03:167 (2) - And once again..
01:31:940 (1) - Finish?
01:36:304 (6) - Nice attempt at slider design,but shape isn't perfect and 01:37:940 (2) is covered by the slider
01:46:804 (1,2) - Remove this and just extend 01:44:758 (1) slider up to this point.

[Hard]
Same for breaks.

00:16:394 (3,4,5,6,7) - It's covered by 00:15:440 (5,6),place this pattern somewhere instead?
00:50:690 (3) - Is it snapped on 1/8? Are you serious?
00:54:440 (1,2,3) - ^ Same,it's not acceptable..
00:55:735 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Spacing isn't correct,(2) should be 2x closer to (1).

Well..
Easy was fine,but Normal and especially Hard are unacceptable.
You can't randomly snap your notes on blue(yellow) ticks. Cause it's unreadable.
I know it will be hard,but you should re-arrenge your maps using white/red ticks,mostly following main rhytm.
Unless you won't make your map ranked..

Anyway,good luck to you,I'll leave my star.

00:26:485(x) - put a whistle here and remove whistle on 00:26:212 (9)? do you mean i should add a note and put the hitsound on that? I think it's fine
01:34:122 (5,6) - (nazi) move (6) 1grid down...? or is this intentional... ok

[Hard]
00:15:985 (5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - wth this kills me. i'll keep it for now
sry i've been crazy on this.
well i found this part at least playable...but when i first play this i do shouted on this.
00:37:939 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - new combo at (7)? ok
00:53:212 (8,1,2,3) - new combo at 00:53:212 not 00:54:985?k
01:03:712 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - sounds bad...not really sure what you mean
i guess this song should use beat snap divisor 1/3 or 1/6 (for this part?) but i'm not sure.

ehhh....star.

00:50:485 (1) - Do this for drums or this for keys(a bit difficultier...) i used this because someone previously said i shouldnt use blue ticks for normal (still have 2 though)
00:54:848 (2) - Do this for drums and to follow music better

Seem OK. The 1/2 stacks may throw beginners off, but it is well made and not unreadable imo.

[Normal]
01:15:031 (1,2) - This transition is very confusing imo. Delete (2) and add 2x repeats to (1) ok
01:16:666 (4) - Use a short slider instead that starts 1/4 earlier (on the blue tick) and ends right here. Matching what you actually hear would make it much easier to read why (6) suddenly starts on the blue tick. I'm gonna keep this for now because i don't think the slider is hard to read
01:19:122 (1) - Reduce to 1x repeat to match the actual songi think it's ok
01:25:122 (4) - Reduce to 1x repeat, add stacked circle on the red tick @01:25:666 to make it match the song and less confusing ok

[Hard]
00:16:121 (6,1,2,3) - Some very weird spacing decisions. Personally I wouldn't go for a triple-jump with inconsistent spacing here. Rhythm pattern itself is already hard to read if you don't know the music by heart so I would keep the spacing simple here. made the spacing consistant
00:27:030 (1,2,3,4,5) - I think it would be much better (playble) to reduce the spacing inside this first jump-pattern a bit. Select all 5 notes and use "Scale by..." -> 0,6x with "Playfield Centre" i already reduced the spacing i'm not gonna edit this for now
00:37:121 (6) - Reduce to 1x repeat, move to 464/192 (ending point to 476/256) and add a circle on the red tick (where the slider ending used to be) @440/76. This way you'll fix the spacing error and match the actual song: http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/102328 i think i'll use this for now since it matches the previous combo. I'll look out for it though.
01:30:030 (X) - I wouldn't leave out this beat here. i'll skip this since the next little bit is a bit weird
01:30:303 (1,2,3) - Maybe use a 1x repeat slider instead of three circles here. This rhythm is hard to predict. it's the same thing as the previous one so i think it should be ok


Pretty good so far. Keep it up!
