So I decided to do something short, and here it is. It's geared toward beginners, and I'm pretty sure everything is timed well. I tried to make a harder version, but I don't really see how it could get harder while at the same time not being random circles.

I'm going to reply to this. :P

I just played the song. So it's time for me to criticize it. There are good points to this song, but let's cover the bad areas first, in no specfic order.

1) Your circle combos should generally not be this large, especially at timings that are simplistic like fourths and the occasional eighth. If you never played the DS versions, I can see why you done this, but typically it is a small number below 10 (There are exceptions, but this is the usual).

2) The timing is actually a little off. Well, I don't believe the timing is off, rather that of the beat snapping is. For example, the ones that were simple fourths (Such as the first notes, which is on Second 7), are off of the intended beat but are on the correct beat the song is. Actually, this is a bad example since note 1 is actually off of the beat as well, but very little (You can consider this a Great in DDR or a 100 or a 300 in the Ouendan thing). Though the eighths are my main issue here, not the fourths. Snapped, the eighths I believe would be on the beat, or closer than what you have it at the point. My example would be note 4 and 5. It sounds like a sixteenth where it should be an eighth. Of course, I'm not sure if the timing is correct or not, since you did not snap the grid. But I reckon it might.

3) Lastly, the circles are randomly placed. Aside from the sliders, which are interestingly formed (That's not bad), the circles look splatted on like a game of darts. Though this would be not a major issue, I am a huge symmetrical freak, and the original game did rather have possible beat areas with the cursor. Of course, this is possible, but some are extremely far away. You can consider distance snapping if you want, unless you hate that absolutely.

---

Other than that, I like the song, especially like Kingdom Hearts, and I can't remember where this is from. It's not going to rankable at the point in my opinion, but it does have a good surefire sign of attempt and a majority or close to the right area of accuracy. The spinner was long at first, but oh well, who's to complain, it turned fun at the end.

And if you want to make the song hard, you can use sliders to your advantage, there's lots of gaps that can be filled if you set it fast enough. Of course, this is your decision.

Yeah, you do have a point in that spot. Notes that are closer timing wise would generally have to be closer, and vice versa. However, you can experiment with it and make nice little designs while doing it. This is especially true with Sliders, you can make nice looking stuff with that. Like a star, a cross, I made an R with it too. :P

My slider suggestion was mainly for you not being able to see the point of a harder difficulty without splotching random circles. However, I guess you can interpret it to make your beatmap less cookie-cutter or have more flavor (Like the X part).

Maybe I'll try to make a heart :D

But I'll try to put them in a pattern, but still farther away. I actually tried to put most of it in a pattern, but I probably just forgot to save it.

Since I am a huge KH nerd and this song is particularly beautiful (Starrodkirby86 how could you NOT remember when this music plays it's one of the biggest moments in the game !!! also the title is a bit of a giveaway) you have my absolute backing on this one.

Your bpm is good and accurate, I think. The offset is coming in too late, however - it should be 7,100. Also, the spinner at 33:04 should be moved to the end of the song at 58:99.

And why not make the slider at 52:50 a Heart shape =D? Anyhow, I strongly encourage you to tidy this up into a rankable format.

(And despite being the nerd that I am, I do not know the composer's name offhand.)

!!! At least one new post has been made to this topic. You may wish to review your post in light of this. !!!

"Maybe I'll try to make a heart :D"

wow

wavelength

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the beatspacing and some of the timing DOES need to be fixed, but you seem to be aware of this.
Starrodkirby86
Uh huh, all righty then. I'll play your edited version and give my views of that. Can't wait.

Oh god! Now that I look at this, there were many places sliders could have gone. I'm am so blind musically.

Well, I haven't played much all about Kingdom Hearts I, I'm more knowledgeable about the sequel. Lol, but there's a bunch of parts where Sora goes headlong into battles, which can be a sacrifice. But who knows. All I know it's based off the main theme. XD Then again, you're a KH nerd so I understand how you know rather I know.

And I did mention the beatspacing and timing anyway to him, so I beat people to a pulp. :P

They're like freeze arrows in DDR. :3
'Cept with Sliders you can move so much with them.

Edit: What fanboy? :P

I am going to let that slide.
I'm sorry, I have a bad mind thesaurus.

So, I'm just going to do something like what every other person does and go, "What? I didn't say fanboy. :roll: "
