Hello~
Modding via your request in #modreqs.
All suggestions, opinions, observations, that stuff.
GeneralShouldn't the artist "fumika" be capitalized? It is the name of the artist correct? Or is her name always written with a lowercase 'f'?
Change name of background image to "bg" or "background."
Change name of video file to "Umikaze no Brave (TV Size)."
Change name of mp3 file to "Umikaze no Brave (TV Size)."
Easy00:06:941 and 00:08:383 and 00:10:883 - What's the point of these green lines? They don't change anything. Look at all the timing points in this difficulty again and make sure they all have a purpose.
00:11:460 (1) - I think this rhythm will be really confusing to a beginning player. It's better to stick with 1/1 rhythms in an easy difficulty. Make it 1/1 by using sliders. I don't think it fits the song very well so I suggest replacing it and the spinner following it with a different rhythm.
00:11:460 to 00:17:037 (8) - Try this:
I just think the spinner is bad. It doesn't fit the music, and we have notes appearing during it due to the low approach rate. It can be confusing to a new player.
00:19:921 (1,2,3) - This rhythm doesn't fit IMO. Try this:
00:24:152 (2,3,4) - What's going on with this rhythm it's very strange.
Just shorten the 2 and add a circle like this:
Simple. A lot of times when trying to make circles fit the song in easy difficulties, people can end up making a rhythm that's just really awkward. Simple rhythms like this will always fit.
00:27:037 (1) - This spinner can be trouble. Start it at 00:27:229 so it appears after 00:26:075 (5) goes away. It needs to end before 00:29:152 because 00:29:921 (1) appears long before the spinner finishes, but it just doesn't sound right if it ends early. Honestly you should just remove this spinner and insert a short break, or just have metronome beats on every other white tick.
00:29:921 (1,2) - These sliders could look a lot better.
00:31:075 (2,3,1) - This rhythm would be so much better this way IMO
Simple
00:34:921 (3,4) - Try to avoid stacking in an easy difficulty. Make it a slider instead.
00:44:152 (3,4) - ^
00:40:691 (1) - You need to remove this spinner. It's too short, and the 00:42:229 (1) appears before the spinner is even halfway done.
00:42:229 - The rhythm here isn't working. 00:42:229 to 00:48:383 - Lets follow the vocals more simply:
00:53:575 (1) - If you must have this spinner, it needs to start later and end earlier.
01:06:460 (3,4) - Spacing error.
01:07:614 (5) - Increase slider length by 1/2 beat.
01:09:921 (1,2,1,2) - Weird rhythm, it doesn't match. 01:09:921 to 01:14:152 - Try this:
01:18:191 (5) - Increase length by 1/2 beat.
01:19:537 (1,2,3,4,1,2) - Strange rhythm. Let's match the vocals here. 01:19:537 to 01:22:998 - Try this:
Work on making the sliders look a little better and fit together better in this difficulty. Please correct any similar errors that I might have missed.
Normal00:01:652 (2,3) - Having these circles off to the side like that is awkward. Make it flow with the slider. Instead of 2 circles here, make it a slider 1/2 beat long.
00:03:575 (4,5) - This is weird. I want to be hitting a circle at 00:04:537 and at 00:04:729 along with the loud sounds in the music. Here we're playing a slider end at 00:04:537. It feels bad.
00:03:575 (4) - Remove the repeat and make the slider end on the red tick 00:03:960. Add a circle at the end of the slider on 00:04:152. Add a circle at 00:04:537. Give it NC and stack it on 00:04:729 (6).
00:06:652 (4,5) - Why 1.3 DS here and then 1.5 at 00:07:998 (7)?
00:08:383 (1,2,3) - 1.3 DS here and then 1.4 here 00:09:729 (4)?
Inconsistent spacing is making this map look sloppy. Be consistent. If you don't like the way notes are overlapping, you can fiddle with SV or increase DS, but make sure it's not unique to one spot.
00:13:960 (2,3,4) - Spacing so weird... spacing decreases between 2 and 3. Why?
00:17:037 (1) - Remove this. It's too soon after the spinner and is played before the downbeat at 00:17:614. It feels better to resume play on a downbeat after the spinner.
00:18:575 (4) - Remove repeat and add circle at 00:18:960. Feels better IMO.
00:25:691 (1,2) - Weird spacing.
00:52:998 (1,2,3) - Polarity is bad. Use a slider to fix it:
00:55:306 - End spinner here maybe?
00:57:614 to 01:01:460 - Rhythm is really strange. Try this:
01:08:383 (1) - Increase slider length by 1/2.
01:19:344 (1) - Remove this, it doesn't fit. Maybe increase length of spinner.
n y a's hard00:04:537 (5,6) - Stack these please.
00:04:537 (5) - NC
All for now. Nice map!
Insane00:48:767 (1) - Remove NC.
00:49:921 (7) - NC
00:50:883 (1) - Remove NC.
00:19:152 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Way cluttered IMO.
Spacing is just weird and inconsistent at times, I think it makes the map look a little sloppy.
00:07:806 (5,6) - So differently spaced than everything else in the combo.
00:01:844 (5,1,2,3) - We go from 1.5 DS to 1.2 after the music gains momentum. It's just strange.
00:11:844 (4,5) - Could flow better.
00:24:152 (1,2,3,5,6,7) - See that's nice flow.
00:47:998 - Maybe increase spacing here? You should experiment with some slight SV changes in sections where the music changes in mood.
01:01:844 (2,4) - Not stacked well.
01:02:614 (4,1) - Spacing
Go back through these maps and use the new slider algorithm to make some better looking curves.
All in all nice mapset. There are a lot of good ideas, but certainly a lot to improve on IMO.
I hope this mod was helpful to you. Good luck!
