Hitsounds

[General]Shouldn't you set all timing points to vol 70% just like the other hitsounds you imported?

[Usagi's Novice]00:41:035 (41035|2) - Missing kick
01:09:457 (69457|6) - Replace high cymbal with snare2 since you prioritize the snare over cymbals, example being 01:10:720 (70720|3) -
01:18:299 (78299|6) - replace high cymbal with snare2
01:25:878 (85878|6) - Replace with high cymbal
01:44:824 (104824|4) - make the rim 50% at least, but preferably 70. It's difficult to hear even with music/effect at 10/100
01:45:772 (105772|6) - Add a rim here. The sound is similar.
02:00:298 (120298|3) - replace with snare2
02:20:824 (140824|0) - add snare2.
02:26:193 - Add another note here and apply the finish because it's similar in sound to 02:23:666 (143666|0,143666|2) -
02:36:298 (156298|0) - Replace with kick? You've always used a finish with a kick; two cymbals is overpowering imo.
02:37:245 (157245|6,157245|1) - ^^
02:43:877 (163877|0,164824|3) - Replace with kicks.
02:46:403 - to 02:53:982 - replace all the kicks in this section with whistles since there aren't any kicks at all.
03:17:193 (197193|4) - I think the kick is more important to keeping the rhythm here than the crash is, so replace with kick.wav

[AL's Normal]00:42:299 (42299|4) - No rim here? There's a rim in the music.
00:44:351 (44351|6,44351|0) - Double hitsound, remove one of the snares.
01:03:456 (63456|0) - Might consider adding a soft-hitfinish here since the high cymbal.wav doesn't do the crash here much justice in the music.
01:11:035 (71035|3) - missing cymbal
01:13:246 (73246|4) - Better to replace this with a snare or something since it's more important for hsing than the cymbal here.
01:22:404 (82404|1) - Replace with a kick
01:26:193 (86193|0,86193|5) - Replace one of these with a kick so it doesn't break the structure of the HS.
01:30:930 (90930|6) - Replace with kick?
02:22:719 (142719|1) - Add snare
02:28:719 (148719|1) - add finish
02:29:666 (149666|3) - add finish
02:37:245 (157245|1) - add snare2
02:56:825 (176825|2) - You've used a synth hat this entire section, so replace with synth hat instead of rim.
03:10:720 (190720|4) - Double hitsound, remove the hs here
03:23:667 (203667|6) - add kick
03:26:193 (206193|2) - add crash

[Hard]00:23:351 (23351|5) - Need snare
00:25:878 (25878|1) - Add cymbal
00:30:299 (30299|0) - add snare
00:41:036 (41036|2) - Add kick
00:44:351 (44351|6) - Double HS, remove this snare
01:26:193 (86193|5,86193|2) - Replace one of these with a kick
01:31:246 (91246|0) - No snare necessary here, remove. You can just add the soft-hitfinish instead since the crash is loud
01:32:193 (92193|5) - ^^
01:46:403 (106403|4) - add crash
02:16:087 (136087|3) - add some crashes
02:22:719 (142719|2) - add snare
02:28:719 (148719|5) - add crash
02:36:298 (156298|0) - Replace with a kick and add another crash at 02:36:298 (156298|5) -
02:37:245 (157245|5,157245|4) - ^^
02:43:877 (163877|6,164824|4) - Unnecessary snares. Replace them with cymbals or something.
03:00:851 (180851|5) - Remove the snare here, the sound is more like a hihat or rim.
03:00:930 (180930|3) - Same, replace with rim
03:03:456 (183456|5) - Add crashes
03:10:720 (190720|5,190720|3) - Why are there two different snares here? Remove snare.wav
03:15:772 (195772|6,195772|2) - Again, just having two snares feels too loud. You can reduce their hs volume by half too if you want
03:22:246 (202246|0) - add synth hat
03:23:667 (203667|3) - Replace this with a kick
03:24:614 (204614|0) - ^^
03:26:193 (206193|2) - add crash

[Skalim's Maximum]00:19:088 (19088|3) - add kick
00:19:562 (19562|4) - add snare
00:20:036 (20036|3) - add kick
00:20:509 (20509|3) - add kick
00:21:141 (21141|1,21615|2,22562|1) - add kicks
00:22:088 (22088|2) - add snare
00:23:667 (23667|2) - add low cymbal
00:25:088 (25088|0) - add kick
00:25:878 (25878|1) - add cymbal
00:31:720 (31720|2) - add kick
00:44:351 (44351|4) - double HS, remove the snare here
00:47:351 (47351|5) - replace with rim; you don't use synth hats in this section.
01:30:930 (90930|5) - remove the synth hat here
02:22:719 (142719|1) - add snare
03:03:456 (183456|4) - add crash
03:22:246 (202246|4) - add synth hat

[Extraordinary]00:18:930 (18930|0,19088|3,19404|4,19562|1,20036|2,20193|0,20509|0,20667|2,20825|1,21141|4,21457|4,21615|4,21930|4,22088|4,22562|5,22720|6,23036|6,23193|5,23351|4,23983|6,24141|4,24457|1,24615|4,25088|0,25246|2,25562|1,26509|3,26667|4,26983|5,27141|5,27615|4,27772|4,28088|4,28246|2,28404|2,28720|4,29036|0,29193|2,29509|3,29667|2,30141|0,30299|0,30615|0,30772|1,31562|4,31720|3,32036|3,32193|0,32351|3,32667|3,32825|1,32983|2,33062|1) - These are all double hitsounds. Please, you only need to place HS on one note T_T Remove all the hitsounds in the notes I've highlighted.
01:03:456 (63456|2) - add crash
01:04:404 (64404|3) - double HS, remove snare
01:04:246 (64246|2) - ^^ remove kick
01:04:878 (64878|3,65035|4,65351|3,65509|0,65667|3) - Double HS, remove hs on those notes
01:05:983 (65983|2) - add crash
01:06:299 (66299|1,66457|0,66772|0,66930|3,67404|1,67562|4,67878|1,68035|4,68193|1) - Double HS, remove the HS on these notes
01:08:825 (68825|6,68983|4,69299|4,69457|6,69930|3,70088|0,70404|2,70562|0,70720|1,71035|4) - ^^
01:11:035 (71035|5) - add kick
01:11:351 (71351|5,71509|4,71825|4,71983|6,72457|5,72614|2,72930|5,73088|6,73562|2) - Double HS
01:13:562 (73562|6) - add crash
01:13:878 (73878|4,74035|5,74351|4,74509|5,74983|4,75141|6,75457|1,75614|1,75772|4,76088|3) - Double HS. Why are there so many? Why didn't you just set the HS to 100% rather than 50% and then use double HS? Q_Q
At this point, I give. The double HS are at 50% for both to get 100% so I guess it's fine, although next time, just HS one note '_>'
02:49:246 (169246|0) - Add kick?
02:53:982 (173982|3) - add crash
03:13:562 (193562|0) - add high cymbal
03:22:246 (202246|4) - add synth hat
03:38:825 (218825|1) - add kick
03:41:035 (221035|5) - add snare
03:45:141 (225141|4) - random synth hat? Remove?

Diffs

A quick note. If I say to remove/resnap/add a note, make sure you move the hitsound, or my life will be 10x harder sobs

[General]

1. HP 7.8 for HD seems a little more forgiving since 8 is more like Insane or higher.

[Usagi's Novice]00:02:839 (2839|1) - The first two measures of this diff are really left hand heavy, so move this to 7 or so.
00:04:892 (4892|0) - Same as above, move this to the right hand
00:05:366 (5366|2) - If above is accepted, I'd consider moving this to 4 or something.
00:23:667 - I'd consider adding another note here for the crash.
00:24:615 - ^^
00:44:825 (44825|1,45299|4,45772|1,46246|4,46720|1,47193|4,47667|1) - Feels repetitive to play these in the same column over and over again. Maybe try this instead https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6552340
01:10:404 (70404|2) - Move this to 4 so that it's stacked with 01:10:720 (70720|3) - like the other LNs at 01:07:878 (67878|0,68193|0) - for example.
01:20:509 (80509|4,80825|4) - Can't really understand the reason for this to be stacked. I'd consider moving 01:19:878 (79878|1,80193|2) - one to the left and then making it go like a stair pattern, kind of like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6552362
01:23:035 (83035|1,83351|1) - Same as above.
01:28:404 (88404|6,90930|0,91246|6,92193|6) - For the life of me, I can't understand why there are LNs here. The crash doesn't have a clear cut off, so I'm assuming it's not for that, and the synths are 4/1 long, so reduce those LNs to short notes?
01:57:456 - to 02:01:403 - Restore the hand balance in columns 7 and 6. During this whole time, not a single note is played in those columns.
02:02:824 (122824|4,123298|6) - Swap columns with the LN and the short note. I think it's easier to single tap with the index finger rather than the ring finger (or pinkie in my case since I play without spacebar)
02:18:140 - Why not add a note here for the kick?
03:00:614 (180614|0) - End this LN at 03:00:930 - as I think playing notes while holding down an LN is pretty difficult for beginners at this level.
03:16:878 (196878|4,197035|2,197035|6,197193|4) - Rather than this really one handed pattern, try this instead https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6552399
03:33:141 (213141|2,213141|1,213299|4,213299|5,213457|1,213457|2) - You've never used doubles for the kicks in this song, so reduce these to short notes? What you could do is jack them all in 4 since they're all the same kick sound.

[AL's Normal]00:22:562 (22562|6,22878|6) - Hand balance Q_Q Please move this to 1 or 2 or something on the left hand.
00:27:615 (27615|4,27930|4) - Better to alternate hands with these, so move this to the left hand (col 1, 2, or 3)
00:40:719 (40719|0) - Rather than have a 3 note stack, I think moving this to 2 would be cool for an outside inside pattern kind of thing.
00:40:877 (40877|4,40877|6,41035|0,41036|5) - Try making these complementary chords, like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6552536
00:41:036 (41036|5) - This note is unsnapped and Aimod didn't pick it up. I honestly hate my life.
00:48:220 (48220|1) - Move this to 6, it's easier to hit a 1/4 roll at this level imo
01:17:983 (77983|6) - Move to 4, feels easier to just do a straight up roll and not worry about having a spaced roll (columns empty between notes)
01:49:246 - to 01:55:561 - You literally left column 1 empty for 6 seconds. Rearrange some of the notes to be more balanced.
02:00:851 (120851|3) - Move to 3 for symmetry?
03:48:930 (228930|6,228930|2,229246|4,229404|0,229404|3,229720|2,229878|1,229878|4) - Try this for symmetry https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6552895

[Hard]00:16:102 (16102|3) - Why not move this to 5 for symmetry?
00:23:430 (23430|2) - Move to 5, I think a roll is better and easier to read here.
00:23:351 (23351|3) - Would also consider moving this to 3, to make it look like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6553218
00:39:772 - 00:40:245 - Add 1/2 LNs here like you did at 00:38:824 (38824|3,39298|5) - . It makes no sense to suddenly leave them out when the music style hasn't changed.
00:46:009 (46009|5,46009|2,46088|4,46088|1,46246|6,46325|1,46325|4,46404|2,46404|5) - I honestly think you're accenting the wrong sounds here. The kick should get the double, and the rims should just be singles, like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6557517
00:46:325 (46325|1) - I'm pretty sure this is a ghost note, so remove?
00:48:141 (48141|5,48141|4,48220|0,48220|1) - Same applies here. I think a single note roll would be better fitting for the rims in this case, so like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6557525
00:54:930 (54930|4,55246|6,55562|6) - I think it's easier for the LN to be in the inner columns rather than the outer in this case. So try this instead https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6557551
01:05:667 (65667|4,65746|6,65825|4,65904|6) - I'd consider making this trill like this instead https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6557554 since using a two handed trill is easier for this difficulty level.
01:15:851 (75851|6,75930|5,76009|4) - I don't really hear any separated 1/4 sounds here. It's all just a quick gliss, so I'd just use an LN starting at 01:15:772 - and ending at 01:16:088 -
01:25:878 - 01:26:193 - Add an extra note for the crashes here.
01:26:667 (86667|5,86983|5,87299|5,87614|5) - Intentional stack? If not, I'd consider moving around a few of the notes to balance it out a bit more.
01:46:877 (106877|0,106877|3,106877|5) - 01:47:351 (107351|6,107351|5,107351|2) - 01:47:825 (107825|3,107825|4,107825|1) - etc. In previous sections, like at 00:33:772 - , you used doubles for the kicks, but now you're using triples. I'd highly recommend nerfing the triples in 01:46:404 - back to doubles.
01:53:509 - If you reduce the chord size of the kicks, this should be made into a triple because it's louder than the kicks.
02:04:403 (124403|2,124482|4,124561|1,124640|4) - Why not try a more randomized but still predictable pattern such as this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6557582 (basically moved one note to 6)
03:15:772 (195772|2) - Move this to 1 for a more hard friendly roll pattern?
03:23:667 - Add another note for the crash.

[Skalim's Maximum]00:20:983 (20983|3) - There's a 1/4 roll that leads into 00:21:141 - , so I'd consider trying something like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6562054
00:21:615 (21615|3,21615|5,21615|2) - Why is this a triple when it's only for a kick, such as 00:20:509 (20509|5,20509|3,20667|3,20667|5) - ? So remove one note from the triple for consistency
00:32:983 (32983|3) - Again, there are 1/4 kicks during this LN, so I'd try something like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6562069
00:39:456 (39456|5) - This LN's pitch changes at 00:40:403 - , so I'd recommend shortening it to end there, and then adding another LN in 2 and ending at 00:41:035 - . Be sure to move 00:41:035 (41035|1) - to 6 if you accept.
01:01:246 (61246|1,61325|5,61404|1,61483|5) - I think it'd be better to make this trill [3]-[6]-[3]-[6] since a player might read the stack at 01:00:930 (60930|1,61088|1,61246|1,61404|1) - and assume that 01:00:930 (60930|5,61088|5,61325|5,61483|5) - is also an equal stack.
01:41:035 (101035|0,101193|3,101272|2,101350|0,101350|3) - I think this would be easier to hit https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6562242
01:41:903 (101903|3,101982|2) - Similar reasoning to above, it'd be easier to hit imo if you moved both these notes twice to the left so it's like a single roll rather than a minitrill.
01:59:667 (119667|0) - This miniburst looks a bit messy to read. Maybe try moving this note to 4, and 01:59:745 (119745|2) - to 5.
02:34:245 (154245|2) - I can't understand why this is 1/1 long. End it at 02:34:403 - like the other LNs in this section.
02:33:140 (153140|1) - Same as the above, make this 1/2 long and start it at 02:33:298 - where the open hihat is.
02:35:666 (155666|4) - ^^ ? I still can't hear anything to justify a 1/1 sound. Anyways, you get what I'm saying about those LNs, so I'll leave the rest to you.
03:34:246 (214246|1) - Move this to 1. You don't really need to have a 1/2 minijack with 03:34:088 (214088|1,214246|1) - if it's not given much support from the music.
03:35:193 (215193|1) - Move to 1 again. This time it's a hand balance issue, because you're leaving column 1 blank for too long.
03:36:299 - 03:38:193 - Why are you purposely leaving columns empty? Move some of the notes in 6 to 7 to balance it out more.

[Extraordinary]00:21:457 - to 00:22:088 - I've noticed this in pretty much every diff, but there are times when you leave the columns empty. Try and rearrange some of the notes to avoid this.
00:41:036 - I'd consider adding another note in 1 for the crash here.
00:46:878 (46878|6,46878|0,47036|2,47036|1) - These sounds are such quiet rims and hihats, I feel that using a double for them is overdoing it. I suggest to reduce the rim and hihat notes to singles only in this case.
00:47:351 (47351|1,47351|2) - ^^ similar to the above, a double feels overchorded.
00:48:141 (48141|2,48141|0,48220|3,48220|4) - Honestly, at this point, I feel like these quiet sounds are made into doubles just for the sake of making the difficulty hard. I'd reduce these to singles too since you can barely hear them clearly.
00:48:141 (48141|0,48141|2,48220|4,48220|3,75772|5,75772|1,75851|4,75851|2,75930|3,75930|6,76009|1,76009|4) - I'm really sure that these are ghost notes. The guitar doesn't separate the notes but rather it's just a slide, so a single LN like 01:15:772 (75772|0) - is fine.
01:25:878 - Add another note here since it's a crash like 01:26:193 (86193|6,86193|0,86193|2,86193|5) -
01:32:983 (92983|2,92983|3,93062|1,93062|4,93141|3,93141|5,93141|0) - Try making this more symmetrical like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6562906
01:33:457 (93457|0,93457|3,93457|5,93772|2,93772|6,93772|4) - I also think it'd be nice if the LNs were on one hand, and the short notes on the other, to get a back and forth effect like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6562923
01:44:903 (104903|4,104903|1,104982|3,104982|6,105061|1,105061|5) - I think this pattern is a bit messy to read. Maybe use this instead https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6562948
02:00:930 (120930|0,120930|2,120930|4,120930|6) - I don't think you need a quad for this seeing as there isn't even a crash, but only a kick. I think at most, a triple would be fine.
02:04:561 (124561|3,124561|1,124640|2,124640|4) - Control J (make sure to move the hitsounds) and move 02:04:482 (124482|2) - to 4 to get a more roll like pattern.
03:28:878 (208878|6,209193|3,209509|1,209825|5,210141|2,210457|0,210772|5,211088|1) - etc. These LNs are cool and all, but for consistency, start them at 03:18:614 - instead. It's weird to change up a mapping style in the middle of a section when the music doesn't give you a clear transition between parts where you can vary the style.

Discussed Extraordinary with a friend and this is what he came up with (I'm basically just quoting him):
00:17:049 (17049|6) - Better to start at 00:16:102 - and end at the same place for the vocal since you were following it in the beginning.
00:21:141 (21141|4) - Move to column 3 to avoid a 3 note stack with 00:20:825 (20825|4,20983|4,21141|4) -
00:21:457 (21457|3) - Move to col 3 to avoid 00:21:141 (21141|3,21457|3,21615|3) - or LNs surrounding a note.
00:23:509 (23509|4,23509|1,23588|3,23588|0,23667|1,23667|4) - Try this for better playability https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6563157
00:25:720 - https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6563211 Easier to read due to the jumptrill kind nature
00:26:983 (26983|5) - move to column 5, more comfortability, as there is no reason to have 00:26:983 (26983|5,26983|0,27141|5,27141|0) -, but with the density, it's unavoidable to have 1 jack. "Jacks are mostly clap with drum, but drum with drum are not 1/2 jacked. Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
00:26:983 (26983|5) - https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6563261 nicer to play
00:30:141 (30141|5,30299|5,30457|5) - Anchor, try this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6563282
00:31:167 (31167|0,31246|2) - Swith columns and move 00:31:246 (31246|3) - to column 6

SVs

[Hard]00:17:680 - Why 1.05x? Just leave it at 1x. Don't make people read above 1x for prolonged periods as players won't be used to it.
00:41:036 - If you're keeping the .9x slowjam, add another .9x here, as the red line sets it back to 1x.
00:48:299 - .75x seems too slow compared to the density of the music. At most, just keep it as .85x, although I do think some of these slowjams are pretty redundant sometimes.
01:02:825 - 1.1x Q_Q You've used slowjams in the other sections, so it's fine to just leave this as 1x since players have already gotten used to a slower than normal scroll speed. Increasing it to 1.1x is going to come as a surprise due to the sudden increase in speed, relative to the other SVs
01:53:667 - Again, to keep the slowjam, you need another .9x SV
02:00:930 - What I said about the .75x applies here too. .85x is better since it's still slow but not slow enough to where reading is impaired too much.
02:16:087 - I'd rather you just keep the SV as 1x, but if not, make this SV consistent with the last kiai and make it 1.1x.
03:03:140 - 03:03:219 - 03:03:298 - I'd consider removing these and just using a 1.75x speed up at 03:03:377 - and then setting the SV at 03:03:457 - to 1x.

[Skalim's Maximum]00:18:470 - This is leading into a pretty intense section, just set the SV to 1x ._.

[Extraordinary]01:18:299 - to 01:20:825 - I don't understand why you have a gradual speed up here. It's not like this is a transition between sections, so using a single 1x SV would be best.
01:20:825 - Reading at 1.2x is just too much imo. At most, set it to 1.1x, but as I mentioned above, 1x is the best in this case.
02:04:403 - Set the SV to .85x or so since .75x is more for really soft and quiet sections, as opposed to this section which still has quite a few things going on.
02:30:930 - to 02:33:456 - As I mentioned above, this gradual speed up isn't necessary. The .9x is fine, but set it back to 1x at 02:31:245 - which is the start of the second half of the kiai.
03:18:614 - just use 1x as I mentioned since 1.1x for long sections is just too fast for players to read when they're not used to it.
