I was listening to this song in my car yesterday and I thought, "hey, this could make a good beatmap." So I made this.

Just remember-- you can't go back to Constantinople.

One thing that came in mind when I played this is that the spacing when the beats are right next to each other on the 1/4 scale is too wide. The spacing between a beat that's next to each other on full beat is only very slightly wider than that. Requires a little fixing on that. :)

Er... could you get me a screencap of those parts in the editor so I can see what to fix?

(And here I thought this was pretty good... I must be slipping.)

The beatspacing is consistent enough, imo, the only thing I really have a problem with is the second break is WAY too long.

It is pretty good, I might just be very picky because Cecil says it is fine (on the contrary though, I find the break okay XD).

Anyway, my problem is just that on 1:56:15 (as an example, since I don't see many of them actually :P), if you look at the beats there, you'd see that 1/2 beats are two spaces wide (on the medium sized grid) and full beats are three spaces wide. I am just saying that I'd like the full beats to be slightly wider than three spaces. :)

The break would be better if there was video, otherwise the second break is boring...:P

To those of you asking for video:

Some of us don't have computers that are good enough to run video and osu! at the same time. :|
You can still include a video, as long as there's an option to download the song without it.

Not to mention there is a no video mod that you can turn on.

Yes, but you're all forgetting something.

How am I supposed to time the beatmap to the video if I can't run the video to begin with?

I'll do it for you if it comes down to that.

Would you like the Tiny Toons version or the original music video (if there is one)?

I still can't believe that this one is unranked for the sole reason that there's no video. :o

Hmm, can anything be done about that 15second break everyone is complaining about? I think that would suffice rather than video as it seems to be the general complaint.

There's a 21-second break in Bambina in Ouendan 2, and I don't see anyone complaining about that. :|

Nevertheless, since the people want it, I'll see what I can do.

All right, since so many people were asking, I threw in a little something-something to shorten that 15-second break, and made some other little various changes to note placements. Hope you guys appreciate it.

I think this is pretty good. The breaks didn't bother me at all, don't see much of a problem there. One thing I thought was slightly irritating was in the harder version where you placed 4 or 5 beats on top of each other. It just feels kind of awkward clicking in the same spot more than the normal 2 or 3 times.

Other than that, I enjoyed it. Good job.

I'll bump this thing 'til the end of time if I have to. I'll even put my beatmapping on hold if it comes to that.

C'mon guys. This is quality.

Starred for now, only because I want some opinions on what was done with the break (keep as is or perhaps turn into two spinners?).

I think this deserves more than a star, but that's just my opinion.

I have no issues with this. I can see how those two breaks separated by only a couple notes are, perhaps, missed potential, but that's just an opinion thing. Technically, the map seems fine to me. So I'm gonna bubble it. So there.
