General]
- Video is suppose to be 16:9, not 4:3 - remove the letterboxing, aka black bars. I recommend re-encoding from original source to reduce quality lost. - Second redline is not consistent. Please make sure all diffs second redline start at 00:31:718 and resnap accordingly (objects and timing points). - Change in all diffs via notepad 0,0,"Yukitoki.jpg",1,1
to 0,0,"Yukitoki.jpg",0,0
t/124816m,
I saw in changelog peppy revert the fix, so unsure, but fix it for now. - Your red combo colors is inconsistent. You are using (Red:Green:Blue) R255G0B0 for some diffs, and R240G0B0 for other diffs. It's not too noticeable, but should be fixed unless there's a reason for this. 00:20:092 - The stanza should be here (big white tick). I believe you need to put a red line to fix that, and the reason to do this is for nightcore mod. I am unsure through, so feel free to change only if a BAT asks you too or the person who recheck timing say this. Please get someone to recheck timing as well, listen to 00:12:092, white tick there is late to music and I see this at other places too.
[
Easy]
00:03:365 (1) - I notice you are following piano here, so I do not think there should be whistle at end.
00:08:274 (1,2) - I don't really like how the custom clap sound at end of (1), and on (2). I prefer normal sampleset instead
http://puu.sh/2Q6MS.jpg [look at top left] So normal sampleset at end of (1) and on begin & end of (2).
00:12:092 (4) - Normal sampleset at repeat end end if you did above. Also, because of this note, I can see timing is off. The clap at begin is late to drum sound in music (around 1/8 earlier).
00:08:274 (1,2,3) - Also I prefer this placement here
http://puu.sh/2Q6VW.jpg00:13:546 (1,2,3) - I don't think claps fits here, whistle seems better to my ears
00:19:001 - Prefer if you add a timing point to reduce volume of spinner effect here. Sound too loud after this point.
00:20:819 (2,3) - Prefer if you follow the piano like at begin, so no whistle at begin of (2) and put on begin of (3). Also, I feel a pattern like this looks nicer
http://puu.sh/2Q7dE.jpg00:23:001 (1,2,3) - ^ same thing regarding whistle hitsound
00:25:910 (1,2) - ^ (remove from end)
00:29:546 (2) - ^
00:31:728 - 00:42:637 - Whistle every 1st (big white tick) and 3rd white tick. Don't put when there is finish. If you find too loud, put only on 1st white tick with the piano.
00:43:365 (4) - Add finish
00:34:637 (1,2,3,4) - If you want to variate a bit
http://puu.sh/2Q7r2.jpg [look at placement only, not rhythm]
00:46:274 (4) - Whistle at begin
00:44:092 - At this section, I think ti's better to do long repeating slider with repeat on the red tick, something like this for example
http://puu.sh/2Q7CB.jpg [look at rhythm only, don't look at placement]. (1) begin is at 00:44:092. Also for hitsounding purposes, you may want to do slider > hit circle at 00:46:273 instead
http://puu.sh/2Q7Id.jpg [look at rhythm, not placement]. Then clap at 00:45:546, 00:47:000, 48:455. Whistle with piano and finish with cymbal in music.
00:49:910 (1,2) - ^
00:52:092 (3) - Finish at begin
00:56:091 - Same as 00:19:001. Also add finish to this spinner
01:02:273 (2) - Add finish
01:06:455 - Finish too quiet for me, recommend making louder.
01:05:909 (2,3,4) - Clap at end of (2) then normal sampleset on (3) and (4) sound nice.
01:23:183 (1,2,3) - I think you can improve the placement with curved sliders, try this perhaps
http://puu.sh/2Q80g.jpg. [look at placement only, not rhythm]
For kiai, I think adding whistle on all the stanza (1st white tick) and 3rd white tick will improve the hitsounding. Don't put when there is finish of course.
***[puush is glitched for me, so instruction of what to look are inside here]General comment: I notice you make the rhythm in a way so you can put clap on 2nd and 4th white tick. For Easy, I don't recommend this, for this song especially, I notice a lot of place where the accents is on the red tick and by simply doing everything on white ticks. It doesn't sound too good. Try doing longer slider with repeat on red ticks for example and don't hesitate to do longer sliders even if it breaks clap pattern. For example, at 01:02:273 , I would just do this
http://puu.sh/2Q8pr.jpg [look at rhythm not pattern]. For me, I would map this Easy with no consistent clap rhythm. Instead, I'll probably put whistle with the piano and vocal accents. Finish with cymbals naturally and claps only if the rhythm allows it and it's consistent. However, this all come with experience. Some people make use of slider tick sound, I personally don't like it, but if you wish to do this, that's fine too. Overall, I feel some changes should be done to the rhythm. Placement is fine overall.
[
Normal]
00:05:910 (4) - Definitely feel there should be a whistle at end.
00:09:910 (5) - I don't really see why clap is like this, doing it like this sound really off beat to me. Prefer clap on begin and end instead. Also consider normal sampleset like what I mention in Easy.
00:10:637 (1) - Finish instead of clap.
00:12:092 (2,3) - At end of (2) and begin of (3), consider doing normal sampleset and remove other hitsounds so hit-normal is used.
00:13:546 (1) - Add finish
00:14:819 (3,5) - Whistle at both place.
00:16:274 - May want something here with whistle, to finish whistle pattern. Also, not too fond of 35% for timing points. Too quiet for me.
00:19:001 - Same as Easy, and if Hard and Insane have spinner here, do it for those diffs too, won't mention again.
00:21:365 (3,4) - This overlap doesn't look nice, stack the ends properly or don't do this placement.
00:23:001 (1) - Add whistle
00:23:546 (2,3,4,5) - Prefer if whistle is with piano instead
00:26:637 (1) - Remove whistle
00:30:274 (6,7) - Whistle here
00:31:728 - For this section, same as what I mention for Easy about putting whistle on every 1st and 3rd white tick
00:39:728 (3) - Ctrl+H this perhaps and put at same spot. Or ctrl+h 00:38:273 (1) - instead.
00:43:364 (1) - Put finish
00:44:637 (4) - Whistle at begin
00:45:909 (6) - Whistle on repeat
00:47:364 (1) - Finish here like in Easy.
00:49:909 (1) - Recommend to change rhythm so there is something at 00:50:455 and put whistle there.
00:52:091 (4) - Finish at begin
00:54:273 (1) - Should be clap here imo, but sound off due to wrong timing.
00:56:455 (1) - Hmm, can you polish this slider shape a bit, I feel it looks a little off. Try rotating by 15 degree clockwise maybe and put at same spot.
00:59:364 (1,2,3) - Make a bit more like this
http://puu.sh/2Q9YV.jpg. Use grid snap 4 and adjust the shape of the sliders a bit.
01:02:273 (1) - Add finish at begin
01:06:455 - You should add a note here and put finish there instead. Putting at end of (3) sound too early to my ears.Plus, it's easier to catch 01:06:818 (1) - when you do this due to 1/1 rhythm.
01:10:273 (4) - Use same slider shape as 01:09:182 (2) -
01:13:182 (4) - Use same slider shape as 01:13:909 (1) -
01:13:909 (1) - Finish at begin
01:19:000 (2) - Finish at end
01:22:637 (1,2,3) - I recommend finish at begin instead of all these sliders
01:24:455 (4) - Are these default claps intentional? Sound weird to me.
01:25:364 (5) - Finish here
Try to add some whistles at kiai. Easiest way is to put every 1st and 3rd white tick except when there is finish. Use a higher grid level and fix up the sliders. I notice a lot of sliders looking off due to the beatmap using grid level 3. Try to place the 2nd grid point at the center, e.g.
http://puu.sh/2Qa8c.jpg perfectly centered grid point. Even with the new slider system, especially for this diff, it's still important to do this. Rhythm is much better, but placement can be polish. Also, I won't mention where too put finish anymore, please put them when you hear cymbals in music.
[
Hard]
- This needs ar 700:00:455 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Too much whistle for such a calm part imo, lower the volume of timing point or remove some of the whistle (e.g.put only on stanza).
00:03:365 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - ^
00:05:001 (6,7) - I always think this is 1/2, I prefer this spaced out, or do 1/1 slider.
01:08:081 (2) - New phase so I think there should be new combo here.
00:09:910 (8) - Clap at begin. I recommend using normal sampleset where clap is on these two sliders 00:09:365 (6,8) - and remove the clap so hit-normal is used.
00:11:183 (3,4) - Clap at begin of (3), recommend normal samplest for these two sliders.
00:32:808 (3,6) - Not too fond of this pause, this part feel like there should be consistent 1/2 to me. Prefer 1/2 slider instead.
00:36:081 (3) - ^
00:42:990 - Don't see why you don't add a note here.
00:54:081 (3) - If you want to stack this, I prefer if you add a note at 00:53:899.
01:02:990 (4,1,2,3) - I really expected rhythm to follow vocal here.
01:13:536 (4,1,2,3) - ^
01:15:717 (3) - Also if you do whistle like that at 01:14:627 (1) - then there should be whistle on repeat and end of this slider.
01:24:808 (7) - This kick slider is really unexpected. There is really nothing except knowing the song, memorization to know that here is an extra repeat. I recommend removing a repeat and adding a circle instead. Also apply to 00:42:081 (4) - I forgot to mention
Remember that hitsound suggestions from previous diffs apply here. Highly recommend ar 7, makes this diff a lot more readable. Can't say more until hitsound is improved.
[
Ixxm's Insane]
00:00:456 - 00:06:274 - Whistle on every stanza/first white tick/down beat here.
00:02:456 (3) - If you place like this
http://puu.sh/2QaMJ.jpg It leads nicer to jump on 00:03:365 (1) -
00:08:819 (4) - This slider shape seems off to me.
00:17:183 (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Normal sampleset here
http://puu.sh/2QaYD.png00:25:910 (1) - I don't understand why volume is increased here.
00:49:001 (1,2,3) - Prefer something like this
http://puu.sh/2Qb2a.jpg01:14:990 (1,2,3) - Reduce jump to these notes a bit, move them a bit more up.
I don't understand some of the hitsound logic, whistle in particular. The only place I feel your whistle pattern sound good is at 00:31:728 - 00:43:000. The rest doesn't seem right to me. Try following piano instead for example, and please put finish when you hear cymbals. Also please try to add whistle on parts where you didn't put any whistle like kiai. Sound really empty at those places. Really not fond of those 3.0x jump, I don't mention them in my mod, but you should try to ease them in a bit. Unsure what to say about this diff until timing is fixed and hitsound is improved.
[
Insane]
00:31:001 (3) - Don't understand why finish at begin. Should be whistle imo.
00:31:718 - Is the default clap in this section really intentional? Custom clap sounds much better here imo.
00:52:081 (1) - This is really a trap, the spacing makes it looks like 1/2. I recommend stacking at the end of previous slider or place further away.
00:57:899 (1,3) - I expected (1) to be at x:144 y:72 and (3) at x:336 y:72.
01:00:808 (3,4) - Hit circle first, then slider
01:23:354 (2) - I find this jump too big, I think placing at x:256 y:28 for example is better.
01:24:718 (1,2) - Really confusing placement, spaced this out behind previous slider
http://puu.sh/2QbAI.jpgI agree with previous modder, this is the best diff in mapset, but please take note of hitsound suggestions in previous diffs, adding finishes and adding whistle at kiai in particular.
Get someone to double check timing as some parts sound off, you can hear it with the hitsounds. Please check through the entire map and add finish when you hear the cymbals. I believe I mention all in Easy, but may have miss some. I'm unsure of the whistle logic in some diffs, but I prefer if you keep to the piano instead and for kiai, perhaps every 1st and 3rd white tick. Easy need some tweaking with rhythm. As for other diffs, I believe they simply need polishing.
Sorry to say, I still think this need some work, but Insane is quite well done, good job there. Sorry if some stuff I mention is confusing or if I mention some weird stuff. , I haven't mod in a while and puush is being annoying to me as well
Good luck!
