Eh, at this point everything I state in this crappy mod will probably have been suggested already (and if not my reasoning will likely be flawed), but regardless ... Here goes, woopiee \o/
EDIT: I didn't download with video once you told me to get the new version but apparently it's too flashy and kills eyes and needs a warning, so yeah :^) Also I realized that I probably should have puushed sections for screencaps instead, so beware of big images.
EasyThe SV feels a little bit high for an Easy. I'm having trouble expressing how I feel about this difficulty. Much of the first half played kind of awkward for me, I keep feeling like the note placements aren't in time to the music and the 1/1 and 1/2 shifts threw me off. Kiai time was nice though, I liked the consistent timing better. I guess what I'm saying is the 1/2s feel awkward :S
NormalI missed (and got 100s/50s) a lot more than I expected on this diff. Also I feel the SV is a bit high for a normal and the AR is a bit low for placement of the notes timeline wise. It should also be noted I don't play or know much about normals so everything I suggest should be taken with a grain of salt.
00:27:568 (2) - This slider follows way too closely and doesn't fit the song or the flow. Maybe move the the slider earlier by a red tick and the first note of the combo down the timeline to where the slider ends? I fiddled around with this part and couldn't really come up with something I felt really satisfied with though :/
00:32:624 (1) - This slider also follows a bit too closely, I suggest shifting it a red tick down the timeline and getting rid of the repeat half. Also adjust the direction/positioning to accommodate for the following slider. Perhaps reversing the direction and rotating it a bit to go left to right.
00:43:916 (1,2,3) - Replace this with a repeat slider?
00:59:085 (3) - Hard to read because of the gap, a slider starting a red tick earlier and ending on the timing of this note might work better.
Hard00:19:647 (1,2,3,4) - Pattern looks weird here, it isn't a square and it isn't 4 points of a pentagon. Also I don't feel like it's symmetrical, I copied, and rotated half of the pattern then overlapped it with the other half to confirm it's a very small difference but enough to be visually discernible while playing. Perhaps making it a square?
00:20:321 (1) - The spinner feels like it's sync'd to the drawn out part of the vocals and should end two red ticks earlier to accommodate that.
00:37:680 (5) - This note felt a bit weird to read, instead of overlapping with the end of the slider maybe overlapping with 00:37:006 (2) this note would make it easier to read. Though as far as adding a bit of difficulty through use of overlaps I quite like it.
00:46:613 (2,3,4,5,6) - The way these 5 notes curve isn't very, um, aesthetically pleasing. Also maybe consider changing 00:46:613 (2,3,4) to a repeat slider.
00:49:310 (2,3) - This part was actually hard to read, the gap threw me off. I feel like this slider 00:49:815 (3) should be moved up earlier on the timeline by a red tick and the spacing adjusted accordingly.
01:14:591 (1,2,3,4,5) - Symmetry feels weird here, the two notes leading in and the two notes following the slider don't feel aligned towards the start and endpoints of the slider.
Insane00:36:164 (7) - This part is hard to read because of the lack of another note at 0:36:332, adding one there or making this note a slider that ends on that point would make it flow better.
00:51:838 (2,3,4,5) - I like the circular feel of the sliders here, but I think it'd flow better if you rotated 00:52:512 (4,5) these two sliders clockwise by 30-45 degrees.
01:09:703 (8,9) - These two sliders feel kind of awkward visually because they go for symmetry but are slanted on an angle. I feel like straight sliders would be better if keeping the angle, or making them upright if keeping the sliders curved. Bear in mind that this is VERY subjective, I recognize it as my own preference, the sliders play fine with the flow of the map I just so happen to find it a bit weird visually.
01:11:388 (3) - This note feels a bit too far away to me, it follows the flow of 01:10:377 (1,2) these sliders but the placement of being in the corner feels a bit off when transitioning to the slider here 01:11:557 (4). To move the note elsewhere while maintaining the flow will require rearranging these two sliders 01:10:377 (1,2) in some way though, and if you're opposed to that it's not a big deal. Shifting the two sliders closer together and bringing the note down with the second slider would help though.
Again, it's pretty trivial.
Um yeah, that's my two cents >.>
