Hello, from my queue. I'm really busy with Calc 2 so it might be a short mod

Overall you need to fix the overlapping, bad stacking under slider ends, and you need to have more pattern. I suggest looking at some of the more popular mapper's maps and study their patterns. Especially Ztrot's.

Also this forum has valuable info: https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/61

Hitsounds could also use work. But I'm going to focus on the aesthetics and flow since they're more important at the moment.

00:14:552 (3) - I think it would be better as two sliders instead
00:20:199 (5) - ^
03:13:846 (6) - ^

00:16:317 (5,2) - The overlap is very noticeable when playing. It would look much better if 5's slider end was on 2's slider head perfectly.
00:52:670 (3,6) - Similar situation. Move 6 to x: 176 y:224
00:23:376 (2,4) - Bad overlap
00:56:905 (1,1) - ^ try something like this http://i.imgur.com/bR89bep.png
01:08:905 (2,3) - Very bad overlap on (1) and (5)
01:11:728 (3) - ^ overlaps with previous slider. Would look better if it was on the slider end like this http://i.imgur.com/nXmXIpJ.png
For that whole part this is what I did. I simply put the circles directly on the sliders head/end respectively. It plays much better that way
http://i.imgur.com/Ly41gvF.png and http://i.imgur.com/y7mWyB9.png

01:12:434 (4) - CTRL+J and move back up top.

01:15:258 (7,3) - For the rest of the mod I'm not going to mention this that much, but another bad overlap. If you need more help on tackling this issue, feel free to IRC me.

00:25:493 (5) - Try to avoid stacking on slider ends, especially on normal diffs.
00:39:258 (7) - ^
00:50:728 (2) - ^ I suggest trying this rhythm instead for this diff. http://i.imgur.com/RkdM1Lz.png
00:55:846 (8,9) - ^ http://i.imgur.com/xJyErlD.png
01:19:493 (1,2) - ^ and you can blanket 2 instead.
01:38:552 (4) - ^
02:21:258 (8) - ^

00:42:787 (1,2,3,4) - Maybe make 2 reverse sliders instead?

02:27:258 (1) - this slider could look better.
03:16:670 (3) - ^
03:32:199 (1) - ^

03:36:081 (2,3) - http://i.imgur.com/BxgSlz0.png

03:41:376 (4,5) - Move down to x: 256 y: 340

Running out of time so just going to comment. It suffers the same problems as normal. Overlaps, no pattern, etc. Certain parts are overmapped and unrankable such as 00:42:081 (6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6) - (circles where it doesn't fit the vocals/instrumentation at all) and 00:14:552 (1) - would be better as just one long slider without the reverses. 01:19:493 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Also doesn't fit the music well.

00:20:905 (2,3,4,5) - Around here I'd do something like this http://i.imgur.com/OMZwiCm.png


Please IRC me if you have questions. Good luck

Heyah! sorry, took me longer than expected, but here's my mod >< :

[General]

1. cause you are using a custom hitcircle, you need to add a hitcircleoverlay and an approachcirlce to your map!
   (that's cause custom skins will get mixed up with the map's skin and the players' skin might not match your hitcircle)
   I think in Ranking Criteria it says something about Sliderborder Colour as well, but I'm too lazy to look that up.. sorry! |D
2. to make your mapset rankable you need one difficulty with a star rating of 3.30 (iirc, it might be 3.24 or sth like that..) or lower.
   (But I think if you fix some things in your Normal diff it's low enough.. or you could add an Easy as well. that's up to you!)
3. your storyboard is really nice, I like it! unfortunately it takes up too much space. s:
4. also, cause of your storyboard you should display an epilepsy warning in all difficulties!

[Normal]
overall this diff looks pretty nice already, but there are some things that caught my eye:

1. never ever turn of Distance Spacing in Easy/Normal difficulties!
   Inconsistent spacing makes the diff unreadable for beginners so it is essential and it's better to not break it.
   take a look here

   
   -the objects on the left and on the right are at the same distance on the timeline, but (on the left) placed at the half distance on the playfield,
   so since beginners can't read approach circles as well as experienced players they have to rely on spacing a lot.. they won't hit the objects on the left correctly. >:
   -> check AIMod for problems with DS!
2. also, don't change Slider Velocity in lower diffs, it makes them needlessly hard to read as well.
   (and in this case you used 0,75 and 0,8 and 0,9 and 1,0.. four different speeds. that's just too much for newbies. x: )
3. 00:28:670 (1,2) - if you have patterns like this make sure they have the 'correct shape'. I refined the slider here, take a look:
   comparison

   
   it's just a tiny difference, but still noticeable. You don't have to pay attention to that, but I'd do, cause it looks far better if it matches perfectly.
   and there are many more shapes like that, you should check your whole diff for them and refine everything. (imo, you don't have to ofc!)
   a few of them:
   00:33:611 (4,1) -
   screen

   
   pay attention to the approach circle here. -it's a lot closer to the circles and the distance to the sliderborder varies a lot. if you use the approach cirlce as a refernce you'll get a much neater shape!
   01:53:376 (6,7)
4. there are some overlaps that don't look nice, examples:
   00:48:434 (5,1)
   01:09:611 (4) and 01:11:023 (1)
   01:15:258 (6) and 01:17:199 (3)
   01:46:670 (4,1)
   01:59:023 (3,4)
   check your diff for overlaps and try to place the objects differently!
5. 00:51:258 (1,2) - these two sliders don't look connected at all, I think it's better to make them interwine somehow like you did 00:25:846 (1,2) or 00:59:728 (1,2).
6. 00:56:905 (1,1) - if you use stacks, stack objects properly, this looks a bit.. "messy". :c
   01:19:493 (1,2) - same here!
   Sorry, I don't wanna sound rude in any way.. and maybe I'm too perfectionstic with all this stuff, but it just looks so unaesthetic to me. ><
7. 02:32:905 to 02:55:493 - this break is too long. x: It matches perfectly with the music to have a break there, but it's more than 20 seconds where nothing happens.. that's definitely too much. (but I liked looking at the storyboard here.. it's really nice. )
8. 03:36:081 (2,3) - hmmh, I'm not sure about this. it might be too hard to read, cause the reverse arrow becomes visible pretty late. maybe it's better to not cover it. (even though I like it, I'm doing it as well all the time, but then have to move everything around again cause it's too hard. ><)

[Hard]
This looks nice as well, just pay attention to some things I mentioned above already - nicer (/"correct") shapes, proper stacking, try to avoid overlaps ~
also :

1. check AIMod for some unsnapped objects!
2. imo it's better to keep DS here consistent as well and have a few jumps, it feels better while playing.. but that's totally up to you.
   You'd have to redo some parts of the map if you want to keep it consistent, so.. Idk. It might work the way it is, personally I just don't like it. x:
3. 00:14:552 (1,2) - this could need some refining as well. if you take a close look: the slider ball is not in the corner of the slider at the red tick, but slightly off. it looks and plays better, if you reposition the second anchor.
   (it might be helpful to disable Grid Snap at that point, that way you're more flexible in placing objects!)

Whaa, kay. Sorry if anything of the above sounded rude to you.. I don't mean it that way.. I'm just tired so.. well.. xD
If you want me to recheck this or you have questions or want me to mod the Insane diff once it's finished: just pm me! c:
Ssoo~, good luck! *squee*

hello

As for the pattern, its already good
02:13:140 the finish sound are bit weird, i have 2 recommendations for this :
1. only put finish at 2, 6-1, 6-3 and 1 at next combo.
2. the combo remain untouched, just add finish at 02:15:964

02:28:670 seems weird, try moving it to 02:28:581 and lengthen the slider like this : http://puu.sh/5F4iU.jpg OR change it to a long slider : http://puu.sh/5F4AM.jpg OR add a new hit circle and edit the slider http://puu.sh/5F4Ip.jpg

03:24:081 and 03:25:493 finish sound seems weird, remove?
