Random Taiko Mod ahoy.
[General Taiko Stuff (Oni / Muzukashii)]
- Raise sound volume in both diffs to at least 90%. Not only are the volumes currently inconsistent between the Oni and Muzukashii, in the Oni it's pretty hard to hear the drums clearly with default sound settings during the more active parts of the song.
[Muzukashii]
00:03:698 (1,2,3) - Perhaps try changing this to just k k k and adding a don at 00:04:171. Its still simple enough for a Muzukashii and matches with the synth.
00:06:382 (13) - This downbeat makes a lot more sense as a don.
00:10:171 (27) - Same as above.
00:21:066 (84,85,86,87,88,89) - Perhaps you should stick with one of the patterns you used for the last couple 6 note patterns. kdkddk seems preferable to me but you could use kdkdkk as well.
01:02:592 (40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47) - The kkk at 44, 45, 46 doesn't really fit that well here imo. Perhaps try changing this pattern from
this to something like shown here.
01:04:645 (52) - I feel like this should be at 01:04:803 instead.
01:05:592 (57) - Same problem as above, it just seems out of place with the music. Try 01:05:434 instead with the above mod and see if you like it.
02:16:092 (64) - I'd suggest removing this to get the same rhythm as 02:14:277 (52,53,54,55,56,57).
02:42:224 (32,33,34,35,36,37) - You could spice this up a little by making 33 and 37 both dons. Give it a shot and see if it fits to you.
02:48:698 (70) - Don't really have a real reason for this one but I'd say try making this a don. It sounds better to me at least.
[Oni]
Raise the
Health Drain to
700:22:803 (134) - This is a downbeat that really fits better as a don. Highly recommend changing it to one
00:23:434 (139,140,141) - 139 is another downbeat that probably fits better as a don. If you do apply this I'd suggest making 140 and 141 both kats as well.
00:40:487 (40,41,42,43,44) - 40's another downbeat that fits better as a don. Try a 5 note pattern that starts with a don, such as ddddk here over kkkkk.
01:16:724 (9) - I'm more partial to a don here for a ddkdddk pattern, but what you have works as well. Just give it a shot and see if you like it.
01:28:961 (116) - Again, just try a don here and see if you like it. Just giving some alternative pattern suggestions as there's no rhythm issues.
02:06:382 (166) - Another downbeat that fits better as a don.
02:06:698 - Try adding a don here, especially if you applied the mod to 166.
02:56:040 (161) - Perhaps remove the note here so that the chart comes to a close a bit more fluently.
[Comments]
Overall I liked the Muzukashii quite a bit, but as the Oni is currently I feel its perhaps a bit... too random? When I was modding it, it honestly felt like I was mapping a collaboration map. That isn't a bad thing per say, but if that's not what you intended, perhaps you should look at structuring your patterns a little bit more. In the end, they're both well mapped other than some small things here and there.
