[General:]
Though I don't know too much about tags, it might be extraneous to list Darker than Black and Rie Fu because they are the source/artist.
added new tags + removed old ones01:25:370 (6) - This slider puzzles me (on all difficulties) because it seems a little late with the music, though this is the only instance of it. Also, the hit finish sounds a little odd, in my opinion (though every option I tried still sounded odd too, I'm not good with hitsounds)
removed hitfinish[Easy:]
The approach rate feels fast for an easy. I would probably put it at 1, 2, or maybe 3
00:05:527 (2) – I feel like this should be the New Combo instead of 00:04:867 (1) (listen to the music to see if you agree)
00:16:076 (3) – NC, 00:14:098 (1) – remove NC
00:37:833 (6) - NC
01:01:583 (3) – NC (because it gains energy here)
fixed all the combo's00:14:098 (1) – the spacing differs from prev to next (from .76, to .83), so making this closer to .8 would help clean it up. I'll leave it up to you to see how picky you want to be about this kind of spacing throughout the rest of the map. (turning off gridsnap could help you do it)
i must've accidently changed the beatsnapdivisor there, thanks for noticing, normally i'm actually very picky about spacing 01:02:239 (4,6) - I don't play easy, but stacking these might be bad for beginners, especially if you decide to change the approach rate.
probably yes, fixed it01:22:733 (1,2,3,4) - the beat-spacing really picks up here, especially since you change the bpm on the inheriting section. Again I don't know easy all the well, but this might confuse new players.
I think the speedup is part of the map, just like at 00:22:010 (1) - [Normal:]
00:05:527 (2) – I feel like this should be the New Combo instead of 00:04:867 (1)
00:16:076 (2) – NC, 00:14:098 (1) - remove NC
00:47:781 (2) – NC, 00:47:114 (1) – remove NC
00:55:681 (5) – NC, 00:56:993 (1) – remove NC
00:58:960 (4) - NC
00:02:889 (3,4,1) – spacing is a little inconsistent at (4)
01:22:074 (8,1) - ^
00:05:527 (2,3) - the spacing could be closer to 1.00x here, maybe using a smaller grid or none at all? (these are just some of the ones that I saw at like 1.06, maybe check the map if you want to be nitpicky)
00:10:142 (5) - ^
00:19:372 (3) - ^
00:20:691 (5) - ^

Changed some (not all)spacing and combo's throughout the map00:15:416 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5) - personally, I think these would look better if some of the sliders were curved. The flow feels just a little bit off going into and out of some of the sliders
00:27:943 (4) - again personally, I like breaking up the linearity with a curved slider here, so maybe changing the slider at 00:25:966 (5) to make room like so? :
http://puu.sh/7tY2u.jpg00:43:114 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - looks a little sloppy, (esp 4,5,6). Consider making a symmetrical pattern like this (rotate by 120 on the straight slider):
http://puu.sh/7tYPk.jpg Didn't know about crtl+shift+R when i made that part, fixed it00:53:058 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1) – didn't like the break in the pattern at 00:56:993 (1). If you want to make them all evenly spaced (so like a 7-sided polygon), you can go to Compose → Create polygon circle (or Ctrl + Shift + D) and make 7 points to use for the beginning of each slider (you might have to play with the distance as you need to make all the sliders end near a central point). Also, 00:52:074 (4,1) – might have a bit of awkward overlap, so consider starting it in a different place?
Fixed the overlap and changed the 7 sliders a little01:02:894 (6,7,8,9) – doesn't keep the same curve, so it looks a little sloppy, maybe using a zig-zag pattern here?
made a lovely circle with ctrl+shift+ D <3 01:12:184 (1,2,3) – beat spacing is 1.3, which is the biggest in the map, but it might be ok
I think it compliments 01:06:910 (1,2,3,4) - 01:16:140 (4) – add a note here? (it's a little long pause, and the note fits the music here)
Added 3 notes!!! 01:16:470 (1,2,3) - for some nazi stuff:
Don't bring up the nazi's, that's offensive to some00:07:505 (1,2,3,4) – space these more evenly, (you can tell 4 and 3 overlap more than any of them)
k00:12:119 (2,3) – a little crooked, maybe try copy paste or emphasizing the different slant
copy paste ftw00:31:570 (1,2) - could be blanketed better
I even gave it an extra pillow 01:04:206 (10) – the slider doesn't end at the last tick, so it's not symmetrical about the axis
01:25:370 (5) – the slider tick should be at the red tick (right where the slider turns)
[Hard:]
nice map, not much to say
Like in the above difficulties, check to see if the combos feel right
00:01:571 (4) - spacing might be a little inconsistent, maybe trying to get at least one of the prev or next closer to 1.1x spacing?
done00:29:592 (7,9) - plays fine, I just have a gripe about the way it looks (or something about it)
done01:09:547 (1,1) - consider blanketing these?
doneNice song, nice maps, would love to see this ranked.
