1. Futsuu (4,63 stars, 302 notes)
2. Kantan (2,62 stars, 160 notes)
3. Muzukashii (4,94 stars, 544 notes)
4. Oni (5 stars, 851 notes)

1. You have to change diff settings for each difficulty baka! HP Drain 4 and OD 3 for Kantan, Hp Drain 6 and OD 5 for Muzukashii?
2. What are all those green points? They are all useless except for the kiai D:
3. Audio lead in? Why? Remove it please.
4. Remove letterboxes
5. Hitsounds are really too loud imo, try 60%~70% please?

1. SV 1,2 is too fast imo. Why not SV 1,05 (1,4x0,75) or 1?

1. 00:26:614 (3,4) - (3) is following the guitar or whatever and (4) the drums. So you should or else follow fully the drums adding a note at 00:26:480 - or else remove (4). It feels weird atm.

1. You have to change diff settings for each difficulty baka! HP Drain 4 and OD 3 for Kantan, Hp Drain 6 and OD 5 for Muzukashii? I think it's better for people who are getting into this to get used to harder difficulty settings right away - This way, there won't be a huge jump from kantan to futsuu/muzukashii.
2. What are all those green points? They are all useless except for the kiai D: Removed them.
3. Audio lead in? Why? Remove it please. Removed as well.
4. Remove letterboxes As you wish.
5. Hitsounds are really too loud imo, try 60%~70% please? Changed to 70%. (Oops, mapped this while having hitsound volume lower than song-volume in options)

[Kantan]

1. SV 1,2 is too fast imo. Why not SV 1,05 (1,4x0,75) or 1? I think 1.2SV is fine here. 1.2 is already slower than the others, the rookies I asked to testplay told me it's fine and, most importantly, the song is 225bpm. Therefore, it is natural that it's faster than 170bpm, for instance.

1. 00:26:614 (3,4) - (3) is following the guitar or whatever and (4) the drums. So you should or else follow fully the drums adding a note at 00:26:480 - or else remove (4). It feels weird atm. I tried following a structure here, with the doubles on those sections. If this does however pose a problem, I will change it. In fact, after revising, I changed it around a bit.

And that's all D: I'm not really a fan of maps following melody but meh, it seems like you're following this style in a good way. :I
Or maybe I'm just bad at modding.

01:05:680 (1) - change this to a slider? seems too fast for a spinner, and a slider would look awesome here Changed to slider.

[Muzukashii]

So many triples for 225 bpm :v

00:39:280 - 00:43:014 - are these necessary? D: See the next part regarding these triplets.
00:47:014 (2,3,4,1,2,3) - you can change this to k k k k, whole stanza would look like d d k d k k k k d Changed it~
00:47:814 - 00:51:547 - again, are these really necessary? You should cut down on the triples. :< I didn't delete all the triplets, but I took out about 50% of them. I like the overall feeling they're providing, but I do agree on having overused them and seemingly having turned it into an oni. Now it should be more playable and more like a muzukashii.

Your Kiai time is filled with triples, these are too fast for 225 bpm muzu. Feels like an oni.

[Oni]

Cannot input much here, so many notes for 225 as well. Is that a bad thing..? If you're selecting 225bpm, you shouldn't be expecting a smooth ride, and I wanted to turn it into an interesting run which is more than just a quick sightread FC.

[General]

You could change the artist to "Falcom Saund Team J.D.K." to look really nice. I'll be checking up on this.
Your difficulty curve is too high. You should either make a new muzu, rename your current muzu to oni and your oni to inner oni. That way you can create new things with your inner oni, change up some notes, add a few notes to your new oni, and have a muzu with 1-5 triples throughout the whole song. But this is my opinion, you don't really have to do this. Your other option is to just reduce your amount of notes on both muzu and oni.My initial goal with the muzukashii was to make a stepping stone between muzukashii and oni. I wasn't around when muzukashiis became more popular (or at least, I was into onis already back then), but the difficulty gap seemed rather big to me. That's why I tried going for a muzukashii which is harder than most muzukashiis but not an oni just yet. Perhaps something like muzukashii+? I didn't name it like this because it's 225bpm and you should be expecting a rather hard map in the first place. Harder than 180bpm at least. This is also my reasoning for the oni - if I were to put the same exact map on a 180bpm it would be an oni. Not an inner oni. Therefore I kept it as-is, with my justification being that 225bpm shouldn't be easy in the first place.

Is this real lyfe?

1. 01:06:747 - Ok, I love the kiai, but I think it's a bit too hard. This is still 225 bpm. I would suggest making some patterns less dense, because if you take the ending of the kiai into account, the difficulty gap is insanely big.
2. 01:07:680 (1) - meaningless note for a muzukashii. On this bpm, ddk x d is already enough imo.
3. 01:08:747 (2) - Same here. I can see the nice variety, but it's more suited towards an Oni diff instead if you ask me.
4. 01:10:880 (1) - Yep, here too. etc, just make it less dense basically.
5. 01:13:680 (2,3,1,1) - kkk k? While kkd k is fine, kkk k is more suitable maybe.
6. 01:14:614 (1,2,1,1,1,2,3,4,1) - This is hard. Really hard. I know Muzukashii means hard, but this is REALLY hard. I would suggest to drop all 1/4s here because they actually aren't in the music. Improvisation is cool, but this is a bit much.
7. 01:21:947 (1,1,1,2,3,1,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6,1) - This should get split up into 2 packs instead. This is too long for a muzukashii, especially on this bpm. I would suggest to drop 01:22:614 (1) - and make 01:22:880 (3) - into a kat. If you feel like it, you could make 01:22:747 (2) - a kat too, but eh, w/e.

1. 00:08:880 (1) - Why not a kat? It's in the music and would keep the kat consistency with the previous sections. Double kat is fine here imo.
2. 00:29:414 (2,3,1) - I have a more interesting suggestion instead of these. These just follow the base rhythm when you have a lot of interesting things going on. For example, you could remove 00:29:680 (3) - because that note is rhythmically insignificant to the music here (if you map the other stuff), cause if you add a kat at 00:30:214 - and at 00:30:347, you suddenly spiced things up, and still stayed in the range on futsuu.
3. 00:34:747 (5) - Turn this into a kat because the melody changes "direction"? If you do this, you could also make 00:35:280 (1,1,2) - and 00:36:347 (1,1,2) - into d d k which would make everything more interesting. You would still have the same result in the end (of the section), but with a much more interesting effect imo, since the melody is considered too.
4. 01:14:214 (1,2,1,1,2) - Same thing as a bit earlier, boring because the transition is ignored.
   tldr; instead of http://puu.sh/3nE0d/66254142ea.jpg, try http://puu.sh/3nE0Q/a2afc9f4ce.jpg
5. 01:22:747 (2,1,1) - Same deal here, transition is much more interesting.

1. 01:02:880 (4) - d? Makes it much more interesting.

Tickrate 1 in all diffs. Fixed.

2. 01:07:680 (1) - meaningless note for a muzukashii. On this bpm, ddk x d is already enough imo. Applied, sound reasoning.
3. 01:08:747 (2) - Same here. I can see the nice variety, but it's more suited towards an Oni diff instead if you ask me. Yadda yadda "hard muzukashii 225 bpm".
4. 01:10:880 (1) - Yep, here too. etc, just make it less dense basically. q_q
5. 01:13:680 (2,3,1,1) - kkk k? While kkd k is fine, kkk k is more suitable maybe. Changed to ddd k instead.

It's split up into two packets now, but the kat-suggestions aren't applied.

[Futsuu]

1. 00:08:880 (1) - Why not a kat? It's in the music and would keep the kat consistency with the previous sections. Double kat is fine here imo. This would make the transition way too dense this early in the section.
2. 00:29:414 (2,3,1) - I have a more interesting suggestion instead of these. These just follow the base rhythm when you have a lot of interesting things going on. For example, you could remove 00:29:680 (3) - because that note is rhythmically insignificant to the music here (if you map the other stuff), cause if you add a kat at 00:30:214 - and at 00:30:347, you suddenly spiced things up, and still stayed in the range on futsuu. Changed around as to keep the consistency-break as suggested, as well as more emphasis, but changed it in another way - instead of 2x triplets, it's a single and a 5-pattern now.
3. 00:34:747 (5) - Turn this into a kat because the melody changes "direction"? If you do this, you could also make 00:35:280 (1,1,2) - and 00:36:347 (1,1,2) - into d d k which would make everything more interesting.

   tldr; instead of http://puu.sh/3nE0d/66254142ea.jpg, try http://puu.sh/3nE0Q/a2afc9f4ce.jpg A bit hard, but I do like it.
5. 01:22:747 (2,1,1) - Same deal here, transition is much more interesting. Same deal here.

[Kantan]

1. 01:02:880 (4) - d? Makes it much more interesting. Agreed upon.

That's all!
