3. Background sizes have to be in either 4:3 or 16:9 ratio.
4. Make sure that the timing of all diffs in the set is the same, right now wonkeee's diff is still on the old timing.

1. HP2 and OD2 fit better for an Easy difficulty.
2. I believe that this difficulty will need to be remapped. Varying slider speeds aren't appropriate for Easy difficulties. The introduction as well as the kiai will need to be remapped for this reason. I also would say to lower the SV of this difficultly as you have the same SV on your Normal difficulty. 0.8 would work fine. However, this would mean that the middle section would also need to be remapped.
3. I'll go over some more things regarding mapping Easy difficulties. For your easiest difficulty in your mapsets the goal is to make everything as playable and readable as possible while still mapping to the music. I'll go into some more specifics as we go along, but try to get in this mentality.
4. Spacing for your Easy difficulty should be uniform throughout. This means turning on distance snap and leaving it on the whole time you map an Easy difficulty. If we look at the very beginning, 00:07:933 (1,2,3) - the spacing between (1,2) is 1.98, where as the spacing between (2,3) is 0.68. Your spacing between all objects in an Easy diff should be identical. I recommend 1.0x spacing for your Easy diff. Just turn on distance snap and map with it on the whole time.
5. Stacking objects is another thing that you should avoid on your Easy diff. Having objects stacked at a low approach rate can be very confusing for a new player. 00:16:166 (2,3) - is a prime example where I would highly, highly recommend unstacking these objects.
6. On your Easy difficulty, a good rule of thumb would be to use no 1/2 rhythms. I'll again refer to 00:16:166 (2,3). 1/2 rhythms are not appropriate for an Easy diff, so you would have to find an alternate way to map this part. Sliders can be okay, but I would still recommend against them on an Easy diff since the SV will be so low that the body of the slider will be very hard to see.
7. I would highly recommend to not use multiple repeat sliders on the Easy diff. Again, with the theme of making your diff as easy to read as possible. Multiple repeats can be confusing for new players, so definitely avoid using them on an Easy difficulty.
8. Overlapping patterns are another big no-no. We want Easy diffs to be super easy to read; overlapping objects hinder that goal. So for example, 00:53:311 (2,3) - will not work for an Easy difficulty. Using uniform spacing can alleviate a lot of these problems through your map, but it is still a good thing to keep in mind.

1. HP4 AR5 OD4 provides a more fitting spread for a Normal difficulty.
2. Normal diffs follow some of the same rules as Easy diffs. Uniform slider velocity is highly recommended, and uniform spacing is as well. Multiple repeat sliders are not so good for these diffs. Some use of 1/2 is fine, but not too much. Stacks are also okay as long as the patterns are readable. This difficulty will also need to be remapped in my opinion. As with the Easy, turn on distance snap (I recommend 1.2x) and map. The goal is still to make a very readable and playable map, just with more mapped out than the Easy

1. HP6, OD7 works better here.
2. I'm sorry to say again here, but this difficulty will most likely need to be remapped. The SV is still 1.00 for this diff, which is not good because it would be the same as the Normal. The SV needs to be at least 1.40 if not higher. Generally, 1.4-1.6 will fit well for a Hard difficulty.
3. While not nearly on the same level as an Easy or Normal, spacing is still an important thing to take into account while mapping harder difficulties. For you I would highly recommend turning on distance snap for this as well and mapping with it on. I still use a ton of distance snapping in my Hard difficulties, so it's not a bad thing to begin doing.
4. Streams don't fit a Hard difficulty. Generally the highest 1/4 type of combo would be just 5 circles, and even then those should be rarely used.

1. For now I will say to watch your spacing a bit more than you do. As I recommended before, sticking to a lot of distance snapping for the Hard diff is never a bad thing. Bigger jumps and 5 circle streams don't fit that well for a Hard diff either. I will be back at some point to do a full mod, but keep these things in mind when you look at your diff.

Will fix all those things. Don't play easy difficulties at all, so I sort of forgot how they were.


[Normal]

For you I would highly recommend turning on distance snap for this as well and mapping with it on. I still use a ton of distance snapping in my Hard difficulties, so it's not a bad thing to begin doing. I used distance snap for a majority of the map, but I suppose I'll use it for the whole map.
4. Streams don't fit a Hard difficulty. Generally the highest 1/4 type of combo would be just 5 circles, and even then those should be rarely used.I figured that. This was intended to be an insane difficulty, but I changed it to hard. Might remap this one into insane.

As another note for mapping, listen to the drums a lot! Mapping to the drum beats is really great for just about every difficulty. They are strong and on a lot of songs they are very easy to understand rhythmically so they fit very well for mapping easier difficulties. I'm sorry this was more of a guide than a mod, but I think this can help you out. If you have any questions about anything I'd be happy to help you out. Once you've gone through these things, you can call me back and I can give you a more proper mod. Don't get discouraged, and keep at it. Good luck! No worries if you thought this was more of a guide than a mod. This is my first map and my first mod, so it was all very helpful, thank you. I will be sure to remap everything with your suggestions in mind.

[Easy]

1. 00:56:352 (1) - remove NC Fixed

[Hard]

1. 00:48:244 (1,2) - fix overlap Fixed
2. 01:11:352 (12) - slider should start at 01:11:554 b/c thats the vocal being held and is a stronger vocaL I dunno, it sounds weird if I move it there.
3. 01:13:784 (5) - kiai time point not snapped Fixed
4. 01:29:594 (5) - object end isnt snapped Fixed
5. 01:30:406 (1,2,3,4) - dont think this is fit for [hard], nor do i think there should be a stream there o-o but if you really do want a stream, you should use a kick slider instead I just removed notes 2 and 4.
6. 01:33:649 (3) - im not a fan of super long reverse sliders that arent kick sliders :/ Gonna keep that unless someone else wants to change it.

[Wonkeee's Insane]

1. snap pls >< Fixed
2. 00:17:277 (7,8,9,10) - should space out more so it doesnt look like a stream Fixed
3. 00:35:676 (4,5,6) - spacing problem. the somewhat equal spacing from 4 to 5 and 5 to 6 can be misleading. should move 5 farther away from 6 Fixed
4. 00:38:514 (4) - NC Fixed
5. 00:39:527 (1) - remove NC Fixed
6. 00:40:338 (2) - add NC Fixed

8. 00:56:554 - skipping a very strong vocal here Not anymore!
9. 01:06:690 (3,6) - stack em! and then probably move 5 farther away to fix the spacing Fixed
10. 01:14:494 (4,5) - spacing problem. make it the same distance as the rest of the stream~ Fixed
11. 01:28:379 (12) - this is misaligned. is it intentional? Its aligned now
12. 01:35:676 (7,8) - space these out a tiny bit more for consistency with the hitcircles before it Fixed

[Insane]

1. snap~! Fixed
2. Hp drain to 6 Made it 7 instead
3. 00:11:944 (5) - add NC Fixed
4. 00:24:933 - add a hitcircle Fixed

6. 00:35:271 (9) - add finish Fixed
7. 00:41:352 (7,8,9,10,11) - random stream o-o should replace with something like 2 sliders Nah, unless someone else wants to change it.
8. 00:45:000 (6) - NC Fixed
9. 00:45:811 (10,11,12) - move these somewhere else b/c it strange to continue stacking them when the vocals are over You mean 5, 6, 7? Changed them to a slider, anyway.
10. 00:54:325 (8,9,10,11,12) - same as before. stream doesnt fit the music I think its fine.
11. 00:55:338 (2,3) - it would feel better gameplay wise to place the longer slider on the long vocals. so maybe switch 2 and 3 on the timeline and move the hitcircle a bit to accommodate for the change Fixed
12. 00:56:554 (2,3) - ^ except you may have to change the reverse slider into something else. maybe replace it with hitcircles I dunno, I kinda like how that reverse slider feels.
13. 01:04:865 (3,4,5,6) - sorry >.< i dont like random streams lol change imo I like my random streams
14. 01:05:271 (7,1,2,3,4) - space this out a bit so it doesnt overlap, or only one overlaps atleast Fixed. None of it overlaps now.
15. 01:13:379 (9) - drag out to last longer, until 01:13:987. i get that youre trying to follow vocals but it doesnt work so well with a slider end at this time Fixed
16. 01:30:406 (1,2,3,4,5) - make these a bit closer together Fixed
17. 01:31:622 (7) - move start of slider to 01:31:825 and shorten. vocals dont start until then Fixed

Good luck~!

Your bg was pretty good as-is, but it was one column of pixels off (1365x768 instead of 1366x768). For some reason osu sometimes randomly decides to scale things that way >.> anyway, I decided to find the original 1080p version of the image and work from that. I made it the correct size and saved it losslessly (your version had some artifacting occurring around outlines due to jpeg compression). Here is the final product:

new bg

I also happened to notice that the video still had audio in it, and that is unnecessary since osu disregard's the video's audio and just uses the music file. So I saved a version of your video without the audio track. You can download it via right-click>Save Link As... on this link.

Hi.

i will be just pointing out huge issues, and my opinion.


[Easy]

1. Kiai isn't snapped. Also a few timing sections aren't snapped, and they don't seem intentional Fixed
2. This is almost tutorial level. I would set the difficulty setting to HP1 AR1 or 2 OD1 Remapped with .8 SV and made it slightly harder, so will keep difficulty settings the same.
3. In the beginning part, you have a .75x SV. There is absolutely no reason to put this here imo, because SV is already .5, which is extremely slow. Remapped with .8 SV and removed the .75x. Also made it slightly harder.
4. some of the spacing is inconsistent. For example, like this 00:07:944 (1,2,3) -
   You need to check all of them and make sure everything is consistent so the map looks more neat and consistent. Fixed all distance problems.

[Normal]

1. Considering the density of notes and difficulty spread, I would set HP2 AR4 OD 3 Changed to HP3 AR4 OD3
2. seems like most of your spacing issue is coming from grid size. Try using "Tiny" grid. and also fix those spacing Spacing fixed. Also made the difficulty a little harder.
3. I don't think .75SV 1.25SV change is a good idea. Removed both SV changes.
4. 01:14:190 (1) - this circle overlaps with the slider 01:11:554 (4) - and doesn't look really nice Fixed
5. 01:27:163 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This seems like a failure of difficulty spread. It was so easy until this point, and so hard here. Kept this, as I tried to make the rest of the map harder so this doesn't look so out of place.
6. 01:30:406 (1) - this kind of kick slider is most likely going to confuse beginners and make them panic. Because it is very hard to tell when they are going to end Removed

[Hard]

1. consider redeucing HP and OD to 5. the current diff spread calls for it, and nromal-> hard gap is too big this way. Fixed
2. 00:07:944 (1,2,3) - this kind of inconsistent spacing is happening because of your offset, and the SV change. Consider moving the offset and the timing point to 00:06:611 - Also if you do, don't forget to do it on all diffs! Offset changed on all diffs.
3. 00:17:277 (5,6) - This would be a good place to forget about DS. Try spreading a little bit, as the overlap is pretty ugly. Fixed
4. 00:21:082 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1) - your rhythm here is fine, but you can definitely find better shape than squares. Changed
5. 00:28:784 (2,3,4) - these would look more neat if you ignore distance and spread them a little bit more Fixed
6. 01:11:352 (12) - instead of having a long slider like this, how about putting more notes? this is a Hard diff after all. Changed
7. 01:25:338 (8) - ^ Changed
8. 01:33:649 (3) - this feels like way too many repeats, and they don't seem to fit imo Changed

Wonkeee also did stuff to his difficulty

Good luck.

00:23:919 (2) - NC (New Combo) here instead of 00:23:717 (1) - You generally want to put a NC at every two downbeats (denoted by the long white tick) Fixed
00:48:649 (1,2) - blanket the slider like so: http://puu.sh/8nrzJ.jpg Fixed
00:50:271 (4,5,6,7,8) - you can use Compose -> Create Polygon Circles to make better star patterns Fixed
00:56:352 (1) - remove this NC if you want to follow your current NC pattern Fixed
00:56:554 (2) - Break up this slider to create this rhythm:

You want to get a slider head at 00:57:163 - to match the vocals Fixed
00:57:568 (4,5,6) - I highly recommend keeping these distances the same Fixed
01:07:298 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4) - No need for this rhythm. It doesn't really match the song at all Changed it
01:20:676 (9) - NC here instead of 01:22:095 (1) - to maintain NC pattern Fixed
01:23:717 (4) - and NC here if you do above Fixed
01:27:973 (7,8) - I don't recommend this slider layout. It's not really fun to play, doesn't help with flow, and doesn't look very nice
01:29:595 (7,8) - ^ Changed it
01:31:723 (8) - symmetry Made the points symmetrical, but now one side of the slider looks funny I dunno how to fix that.
01:33:649 (2,3) - also this slider layout I think you should change
01:35:271 (4,5,6,7,8,1) - try this rhythm:

This will limit awkward pauses created by what you have mapped Removed the slider at 01:33:649 (3) and changed the rhythm from there. I didn't like the spinner move + 8, 9, and 10 from your image, but changed the rest.

[Hard]
Many New Combo (NC) problems in this map
Your map is separated into bars. Each bar contains 4 beats, denoted by the white ticks at the top. The beginning of each bar (the first beat) is represented by the large white tick, followed by three smaller white ticks representing beats 2, 3, and 4. Generally, you want to have a NC at every two large white ticks.
The map begins by following the above pattern. However, when it gets to 00:30:406 - , the pattern stops and NC placement appears a little random. Tried changing around NC based on what you said. Not sure if I managed to do it correctly or not.

Also another thing, I would use more sliders than hitcirles in this difficulty.
Things like 00:56:960 (6,7,8,9,10,11) - and 01:04:460 (5,6,7,8,9,10) -
are a little difficulty to play, and not very intuitive Changed both parts

[Normal]
Also NC issues. Please see above on New Combo placement Changed NC. Hopefully its better.
well, the rhythm isn't too bad

[Easy]
00:11:499 (3) - Actually shift this slider so that it begins here 00:11:944 - better follows the song Changed

I was doing this for fun, because the song is so short
if you want the diff, feel free to add (don't forget to fix the tags on other diffs)

Hey Amasuro! The mp3 have a loooong blank at the beginning, so i decided to give you a cutted vers

You will need to change all the offsets, but do this first before replacing the mp3, or you will get a nice corrupted beatmap.
The final offset for the red lines should be like this (I'm 90% sure of this) :

First timing point: -44 ms (yep, negative numbers)
Second timing point: 13106 ms
Preview point: 106214 ms

The green lines are different in each diff, you will need to calculate the new offset by yourself, that's 7564 ms less

Once you finish replace the old mp3 with the new one

Hey there! Thanks for coming to help me on your own time

I'll be taking your cut mp3, but I think I might keep my current mp3 for now, as I believe the blank isn't too long + it shows the background before the video begins, which I like. However I might change my mind later, which is why I'll be taking your mp3.

Unless songs with huge blanks at the start of the song is frowned upon, by which I'll change the mp3 then.

Thanks again
