Oh yeah, hi CXu, incoming mod for M4M. I hope it's useful for you /o/
[General]
If you care about true newbies, make a Beginner diff, nerfing the Easy would screw the spread unless you nerf Normal too.
Gonna focus in Taiko diffs as I can't see many issues in standards diffs.
[rEdo's Muzukashii]
00:03:922 (9,10,11) - Use kkk instead, I think it fitss better here. As an additional note, kkd/ddk patterns are a bit hard for Muzukashii level, they can still be used without abusing tho.
00:09:735 (36) - Delete this one to emphasize better the guitar.
00:24:641 - Maybe add a don here? A ddd would play nicely with the drums here.
00:29:422 (114,115,116) - kdd is way hard for a Muzukashii, I suggest to make a ddd k d k pattern for00:29:422 (114,115,116,117,118,119).
00:34:110 (135) - This feels a bit weird as your focusing on instrumental more than on vocals, so maybe change to a don here?
00:52:110 (203,204,205,206) - This is very ankward to play I know you put the drumrolls for vocals but I think it's better to put a note for each vocal there, like this. The four notes are big ones.
00:58:672 (212,213,214) - Use a ddd pattern here.
01:00:922 (221,222,223) - Maybe change to ddd.
01:01:672 (225,226,227) - ddd.
01:03:922 (234,235,236) - Maybe change to ddd.
01:04:672 (238,239,240) - ddd.
01:07:110 (249) - If you used this for vocals, it's better if it begins in 01:06:922 and ends in 01:07:860.
01:08:985 (251,252) - Use big notes for this, this would match the intensity here :p
01:09:922 (254,255,256) - Maybe change to ddd.
01:10:672 (258,259,260) - ddd
01:12:922 (267,268,269) - As kdd pattern, dkd pattern is also a bit too much in a Muzukashii, ddd would fit better imo.
01:13:672 (271,272,273) - ddd
01:18:922 (291,292,293) - ddd
[Kinomi & CXu's Oni]
00:03:735 (9) - Maybe remove this, I think it's better to stick with the beats the music is offering here.
00:04:860 (16) - Use a don here, it fits better with the instrument you're following here.
00:06:360 (23,24,25,26,27) - Use ddkkd instead? Maybe it's just me but it plays better than kkkkd. Additionally you can add a don in 00:06:828.
00:09:735 (41,42,43,44,45) - Maybe kkddd? It sounds a bit noisy being kkkkd imo.
00:16:110 (73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83) - This part feels a bit weeird as it's not clear what are you following here. I think ddkddkdkkdk fits better with the instrumental here.
00:24:922 (114) - A kat would play nice here.
00:30:641 (144) - Maybe move it 1/4 beat back? Feels a bit weird as the song doesn't have these rhythm with 1/4 doubles and similar.
00:31:672 (151,152) - Maybe use both as don? It fits better for the vocals imo. If you do, you can move 00:32:703 (156) to 00:32:516, to make this part fit even better.
00:34:672 (164,165) - ^
00:36:453 (173) - Maybe remove this?
00:37:672 (180,181) - Change both to don, same reason as a bit above.
00:40:203 (191) - Move this to 00:40:391, so it keeps certain consistency with the previous patterns.
00:42:922 (205,206) - Inverse the color of these notes (keep the finisher in (206)). I think it plays better, or maybe just change the color of the (206).
00:46:766 (222) - Remove.
00:53:047 (250,251) - Changing these to don would emphasize the vocals in 00:53:610 (253) better.
01:01:391 (293) - Remove.
01:04:391 (312) - ^
01:07:953 (334) - Move 1/4 beat back and change to a don, these 1/4 doubles doesn't fit at all with the song, imo.
01:10:391 (347) - Remove.
01:12:172 (358,359,360,361) - Either move (359) or (360) to form a 1/4 triple here.
01:13:391 (365) - Remove.
01:18:360 (390,391,392,393,394) - kkddk plays better here imo.
[Easy]
00:06:172 (2) - It'd be better if this begins in 00:06:360, as the drums are stronger there. Don't worry too much about the 3/2 as OD2 is very lenient in these cases. Also you could make a blanket here.
00:18:735 (4) - Maybe remove this too keep the consistency in somehow following the vocal line?
00:36:547 (4) - Same as above, you can play a bit with (3) either removing the repeat or moving it to 00:35:610 without the repeat.
01:06:172 (4,1) - This feels a bit weird as 01:05:610 (3) is for vocals, but these notes omits various parts and the vocals holding too, try a rhythm like this. Don't forget fixing the corresponding hitsounds.
[Normal]
00:06:360 (2) - As in Easy.
00:29:610 (1) - Maybe use a 1/2 slider with one repeat here, as the guitar goes stronger here.
00:34:110 (1) - Maybe make the curve of this open to the other side, for a smoothie flow.
00:44:610 (1) - Remove NC.
00:50:610 (1) - ^
00:52:110 (1,2) - I'd use 1/1 sliders here, I felt the 3/2 ones a bit weird, or you can use circles like in Easy to not make many 1/1 sliders in a row
00:55:110 (3) - Delete this and begin the spinner here, to keep consistency with the other difficulties.
00:58:110 (1,2,3,4) - I'm a bit afraid of these stacks, but I think they work fine given the spread, just a comment here.
01:15:922 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - These overlaps
01:19:110 (1,2,3,4) - ^
[Hard]
Use OD6 and HP6 for better spread in these settings.
00:06:735 (1) - Remove NC.
00:11:797 (7,1) - I think this would fit better in a single slider, the noisy instrument is a bit quiet, so better following the guitar.
00:42:360 (4,5,6) - idk why this rhythm fits here >.>
Edit: I forgot about f e a r's diff
[f e a r's DASH]
You would know that custom diff names like this one aren't rankable anymore, rename to f e a r's Insane.
00:09:266 (2) - This note feels a bit weird, maybe remove it?
00:27:266 (3) - ^
00:38:141 (5) - ^
00:39:266 (3) - ^
00:39:735 (1,2,1,2) - These sudden speed downs doesn't fit very nice here, I'd suggest you to either increase the speed or make it the same as the rest of this part.
00:47:985 (1,2,3) - I highly suggest to use 1/2 sliders instead 3/4, they compliment the song better.
00:55:485 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1) - Personally, double or squarish patterns would play better as each beat (white tick) has stronger emphasis.
01:04:672 (2) - The jump to (3) doesn't feel very good as there's no big impact in the music, you better make it a bit closer, maybe something like this. If you do like in the screen, maybe move (4) to keep the spacing consistent as you have now.
01:20:235 (4,5) - Maybe increase spacing here to create a bigger jump like in 01:17:235 (5,6).
That's all from my part good luck, fellow Nanamin lover \o/
