You only use 50% of the mp3; there's like 3 minutes of unused mp3 left over.

This needs to be cropped to be rankable - ask in #modHelp or post in General Questions if you don't know how to do so. PM me for a remod after this is fixed, please.

Switchback:

00:21:602 (1) - I would rather replace this with a pattern like 00:19:459 (1,2) - , but flipped horizontally. It'll play better
00:23:745 (1,2) - Significantly increase the spacing of these two notes for consistency while you're at it
01:32:316 (1) - See 00:21:602 (1)

Razorblade:

01:25:888 (1) - Make this prettier, please
02:09:281 (7) - ^

I thought some of the 1/2 jumps were a bit too big for such an easy Hard, but okay

Normal:

00:07:674 (7,8) - Too tricky for a Normal, IMO. Newer players will think it's a 1/1 from its context. BAM! Combo-break -> ragequit
00:11:424 (4,5) - Space these out; they feel way too close.
00:38:209 (3) - Make this prettier, please
00:57:763 (1,2,3) - This is also a bit too tricky for a Normal. It's also really awkward
01:46:513 (3) - Make this prettier, please
02:29:370 (2) - I would replace the clap on this slider's endpoint with a Finish.

Easy:

00:42:495 (2) - The blue approach circle blends in perfectly with (1), and you can't see the hit circle itself, either. I would delete this and give (1) a finish instead.
02:06:602 (1,2,3,4) - I would move this combo down so (3) isn't overlapped by the HP Bar
02:10:888 (1,2,3,4) - ^

Set a reasonable preview point for the mapset...

01:34:459 (1) - A hold point in the middle of a slider...

Are you trying to make a Normal difficulty or Easy? If you're trying to make it an Easy difficulty, then it would be better to take more time into making it less complex.

[Keilara's Razorblade]

This is the only map using the countdown. It would look better without it really.

01:34:459 (1) - A hold point in the middle of a slider... the y velocity doesn't change until the end.

Are you trying to make a Normal difficulty or Easy? A 2 star difficulty.

I don't get this mod at all. Normally there's a clear indication of what it would take to get a star...

whymeman wrote:

If you're only doing that to get a bubble or star, then this is going in the wrong direction. As I said, why use things like that in a Easy difficulty? It should be more easy to read straightforward without the tricks, jumps, and confusion placements. Don't think only about yourself, think about those starting out in osu.

Bien pense que iba a decir algo mas pero esta bien el mapa lo mas importante es lo del preview point en todas las dificultades, no te olvides de ponerlo siempre en el mismo lugar en las 4 dificultades, estrella ya te deje, suerte y espero verlo rankeado pronto.

Don't forget those preview points even though previous mod posts have mentioned it.

Suggestion: When the slider velocity changes from 1.00 to .50, I suggest you do just 1 tick because it sounds better in my opinion.

00:24:816 - This spinner is very short, beginners need more time of reaction, you can delete the previous (2) and extend the spin? should be fine. k, but 2 stays and it's 1333 ms now
00:34:459 - Really strange pattern to be the easier difficulty in the mapset, please do something more readable.It's a dead simple rhythm, clear approach circles. I can't imagine anyone missing this more than once. If spacing were so important, we wouldn't have stacks either.
00:42:495 (1) Please don't stack notes under the slider in easy difficulties, this is really hard to read for beginners, you can extend the slider by 1/2 and it's the same. You're doing nothing during the slider, and the approach circle is bright red on blue.
00:51:602 - Why not extend this spinner to the next white line? doesn't map what I wanted to map
01:20:531 - Short spin again = =' made over 1500
01:38:745 - Start the kiai in the big white tick please. I'm going to let merc fix kiai stuff, that's up to him, but I put it on downbeat
02:29:370 (1,2) These notes are too close to the previous slider, it's a little confuse because looks like this pattern. Please fix it. on second though I'll fix it.

00:08:745 - Sube un poco el volumen de esta parte, para seguir el patron anterior, ademas que no se escuchan casi nada los hitsounds. No. Lo dejaré así, a lo sumo lo modificaré si alguien me dice lo mismo.
00:33:388 (2) Sube el volumen de este slider, el hitsound no se escucha, 30% esta bien. Aunque el cambio no se nota nada considerando el volumen anterior, asi que subirlo estaría bien. Listo
00:34:459 - El cambio de volumen de la parte anterior a esta es enorme, se siente extraño, por favor usa un volumen parecido para todo el mapa. Listo
00:43:031 - Breaks en el kiai time? yo digo no, se supone que es la mejor parte de la cancion... Notas Agregadas
01:06:602 - El clap que pusiste en este spin como que no va, no se escucha bien. Removido
01:38:477 - Porque bajas en volumen en el kiai time? deberia ser al revez. Listo
01:38:745 - Empieza el kiai en la linea blanca grande. Arreglado
02:15:174 (1) Porque esta nota es solo un combo? es mejor que quites el new combo que pusiste en la nota siguiente. Es mejor que quede así como está, ya que es un sonido aislado que no tiene continuación con ninguna de las notas anteriores o posteriores.

02:27:763 - Este slider esta demasiado cerca del spin, muy dificil para una dificultad normal. Movido

Bueno hice el mod para ver como estaba el map, y no esta muy cerca de la burbuja que digamos. Hacemos lo que podemos para que esté cada día más cerca.
Buena suerte ~ Muchas gracias

00:34:459 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - Hmm. Why are these spaced differently? Space it correctly please. because it fits the slider and spacing means nothing on 1/1

Normal:
00:07:674 (7,8) - Weird overlap. Maybe move 8 to the side instead?
00:45:709 (2) - I think spacing this slider would be better.
02:13:299 (6) - Change this slider into something else? I don't like kick sliders in lower diffs. (short repeating sliders)
02:15:709 (1) - Why NC? Remove it?
02:25:620 (1,1) - Next note appears too fast after a spinner in lower difficulty imo. Maybe do something like this? http://puu.sh/5RWI
Tbh this really reminds me of the first time I started mapping. I advise you to map a lot less square-y. Makes the map more livelier and makes more interesting pattern.

Overall this map is alright, though I prefer if you work on sliders a bit more and note placement, but that's only my opinion.

Raging Bull wrote:

Okay. I understand you not changing anything, but it sounds as though you value MAT/BAT mods more than regular mod. But still I strongly suggest you map a lot less squarey and experiment. It's way more fun than just moving left right up or down.

01:34:459 (1) - Asked around, this slider doesnt seems to be appropiate for an easy due to the sliderpath disappearing with mm sliders. I'm sorry.

La cosa es que cuando uno obtiene mods no se debe fijar solo en lo rankeable o lo no rankeable. Si no quieres cambiar algo por que ya has cambiado muchas cosas y solo quieres que tu mapa este "listo para la burbuja" no va a pasar. La mayoría de los BATs/MATs también se preocupan de los aspectos estéticos y por la calidad del mapa en general, no solo por el set de reglas en piedra. Si este último fuera el caso, tendríamos un sistema de ranking automatizado.

Habiendo dicho esto, te recomiendo fuertemente que leas los modposts que no has querido cambiar por no ser de MATs/BATs para que así el proximo mod de MAT/BAT sea más corto y rápido. Recuerda que jamás podrás volver a cambiar cosas en un mapa rankeado.
