From my queue of Normal Mod

1. Grey——Just some complaints.
2. Black——My personal suggestions.
3. Bold——Highly recommended.
4. Red——(Maybe) Unrankable, you have to fix it.

[General]

1. Enable the eplipsy warning because of the shining sb at 00:52:399 - OBEY OUR LEADER

[Normal]

1. 00:31:168 (3) - remove whistle on the head uh... following the whistle on 1 and 3 pattern like everywhere else o.o
2. 00:46:399 (4) - whistle ^
3. 01:00:706 (2,3) - stack them together? rather not use stacks on something that's supposed to look linear for the sake of readability and aesthetics
4. 01:21:937 (1) - I prefer to change this to a 1/2 slider, same as 01:23:783 (3) - and so on tried it out and there's a lot of object congestion with that many notes between each other on 1/2 ticks (and it reveals how much i'm butchering the rhythms during the kiai since they're on blue ticks lol)

[Hard]

1. 00:55:399 (4) - that may be hard to read, I recommend to change it in this way: http://puu.sh/aJjud/a3e6fa74c3.jpg considering all of these reverse sliders are the same length, once you know the length of the first one, that knowledge carries over to the rest of them. it also doesn't make much sense to change the rhythm in the middle of the drum roll :/
2. 00:58:168 (2) - ^
3. 01:03:706 (2) - 01:13:860 (4) - 01:17:553 (4) - ^
4. 01:10:399 (5) - add a reverse to fit the song yes, you're right

[Insane]

1. 00:57:245 (7,8) - stack them because you have stacked 00:53:553 (6,7) - before these are custom stacked due to the direction the cursor is coming from. 00:53:553 (6,7) - is just a regular stack because the cursor is coming from the left, while 00:57:245 (7,8) - and 01:04:629 (8,9) - are coming from the right.
2. 01:04:629 (8,9) - ^
3. 01:22:629 - I think that you should add a note here to let the rhythm fit the song more, also same as 01:24:476 - and so on. so... add a note on every tick for the entire kiai... sounds kind of painful
4. 01:44:322 (4) - too close to 01:44:091 (3) - and quite far from 01:44:552 (1) - ,try make another blanket? yeah made distances better

good luck
Insane diff is quite good but looks in a mess. a hot mess That may be a big problem to deal with.

uhm, combo6 don't fit in comparison with other colours, maybe darken c2 and c4, or lighten c6 :I need some contrast between 4 and 6, otherwise they blend into each other way too much

[INSANE]
00:21:476 (2,3,4,5) - minor, but the flow is weird here. matches guitar pitches, so yeah. if there's something better, do tell
00:23:783 (3) - make it regular 1/2 slider. i feel that 00:24:245 - is better suited to a hitcircle. don't want to cut short of the vocal, which is on a blue tick in the middle of the slider. making it a 1/2 slider would be ignoring that
00:24:706 (5,6,7) - probably requested many times, but it would be cool to have these 3 in alternating directions, helps with flow! happens again in 00:31:168 (4,5,6) - exact opposite of intentional flow
00:27:245 (3,4) - minor ugly overlap didsomething
00:35:322 (4) - this is off by a very small margin, if you are following the pattern observed in 00:34:399 (2,3). move it to (355,136). lolk
00:38:553 (2) - this should be a copypaste of 00:37:629 (1), unless it already it and i am blind. pretty sure htey are lol
00:40:399 (5,1) - ^
00:42:245 (2,3) - ^ (nitpicking, but its really for neatness' sake. they do go in pairs )
00:45:245 (2,3) - you're gonna hate me for this, but blanket is ever so slightly off. left side has a smaller gap and right sidelolk

SPOILER

00:49:168 (3,4) - imperfect blanketing here as well. tried to improve? looks pretty exact already...
00:53:206 (5,6) - this is too large a jump for a 4-star map, consider reducing didslightly
00:55:860 (8) - this is rotated too much. rotate it by selection centre -11. -.-
00:56:322 (2,3) & 00:56:668 (4,5) - keep spacing for the doubles constant.thenazi is real
01:00:937 (3,4) - in accordance with the music, i feel that (4) should be shifted higher. something like: didsomething

SPOILER

01:04:860 (9,1) - confused me on my first play. maybe ctrl+g (1), and subsequent sliders. keeping this as it is. i haven't seen any of my testplayers mess it up
01:49:168 (1,2,3,4) - to me it feels iffy when (4) ends facing up, it would really suit much better if it faced down. i had 4 and 3 switched before, so 4 was facing down, but it plays a lot nicer when 4 is on the bottom of the pattern, even though it's facing up

[HARD]

00:36:706 (7) - weird unnecessary kink slider. double repeat slider could work, but may be confusing.
01:15:706 (4,5) - replace with 1/4 repeat slider. uh...wat why. nothing in the music says to do that
01:23:783 (1,2,3,4) - i don't feel it, change trying to avoid doubles spam everywhere. makes it uncomfortable to play

SPOILER

can't see much problems in normal. that is all! good luck!! ☆ <3

The following hitsound suggestions is mainly because in my opinion, it sounds better if it follows the cymbals did hitsound stuff on all diffs
00:20:091 - Add whistle
00:20:553 (5) - Take out whistle
00:21:014 - Add whistle
00:21:937 - Add whistle

00:34:860 (3,4,1,2,3,4,5) - Same as above
00:45:014 - Add whistle?

01:00:245 - Add a filler note here with finish? rather keep the gap here. the only instruments i've mapped are guitar/drums, of which neither make a sound between 00:59:783 (1,2) -


[Hard]

Same comments about hitsounds from insane

00:48:706 (1) - How about something like this? http://puu.sh/aQ6bz/5efe9456a8.jpg would rather keep this as is. makes it inconsistent with 00:45:014 (1) - , so i'd have to do it twice, then there's lots of object congestion, which i'd rather not have on a hard difficulty
00:52:860 - This beat shouldnt be skipped imo the beats are actually on the blue ticks, which is why i ignored them initially. but yeah did stuff now
01:07:168 - 01:18:245 - A very personal suggestion, I understand if you dont like it at all. Maybe add claps every white tick? This way the notes will give more focus to the percussions (and they actually do) and it plays more awesome this way imo. i think they're pretty much the same whether claps or finishes, but if someone likes claps more then why not
01:37:168 (1) - Try this: http://puu.sh/aQ72y/596f7fcb50.jpg yesyesyes

[Easy]

Same comments about hitsounds from insane

01:03:245 (7) - This is an easy, and if I were you, Id try to avoid using filler notes as much as possible. And yes, this is a filler note, as in it doesn't contribute anything to your map's rhythm easy in disguise* removed it

This is all, nice song

1. i have to say this is an interesting map, thou those composing still have space to develop imo
2. hmm, thou i can hardly find issues, and it looks fun to play. as a newbie map by u, i'd like to shoot a star for this. the hollow wings stamp of approval (for scrubs)

Hard

1. 00:48:706 (1) - a bit offscreen imo... just move the arrow little up yeah did that
2. hmm, some patterns like 01:12:245 (5,6,1,2,3) - , haven't u think of stacking 3 and 5 here? u can do that with other objs arranged, and the composing will be cleaner much more. it's just some kind of suggestion to u, maybe u can consider this in ur other maps next time. i actually had them stacked earlier, but doing so really screws with the zig zag pattern and is just a pain to manage. it's not noticable ingame since they're so far apart, just in the editor, so i thought it was fine.

Normal

1. generally fine, thou i think in lower diffs, u may use less objs set near the edge of screen, it's just a bit hard in aim to noobs imo.tried compressing stuff a bit, but probably not as much as you wanted lol

thou it's not a really excellent map, it's good enough to me as a newbie one.

pm me when u finished checking all ur mods, Scorpiour may mod this map later if you're serious i love you

1. Meh, your blank .wav can't be opened in my players and it has got more filesize than the normal 44kb one. Please use the blank .wav linked in the Ranking Criteria. You are on the safer side if you are doing this. i just took them from another map, so i assumed it would be fine. kay

   Every .wav file must be at least 100ms long to prevent issues with soundcards. If you want a silent/blank hitsound, then you must use a 0-byte .wav file.

2. If I'm not mistaken, post hardcore should be written with a hyphen inbetween. Also Alternative could be added to the tags. tags are stupid
3. Your preview point is unsnapped :V you're a preview point

Normal

1. Heck, watch your spacing a bit better. Stuff like 01:24:245 (4,5,1) - , 01:31:629 (4,5,1) - shouldn't be like this ;_; how am i so bad
2. 00:14:553 (4,1) - I love such stuff <3
3. 00:58:860 (7) - /Minor/ - Removing the anchor point after the red one would represent the guitar much better than such a smooth "ellbow"-Slider. uh sure why not
4. 01:21:014 (3) - Please, I know there's a cut you want to cover with the whistle on the tail. But the cut there isn't very noticeable and the whistle just sounds so out of place ;_; Please consider to remove it. (Applies for all Diffs.) it's a completely different noise from when desperate modded (one that actually fits o.o) but if you think it's meh then i'll kill it
5. 01:44:552 (3) - This Slider here feels pretty much out of place if you ask me as it looks like it's just randomly there without making sense with the actual previous pattern. Going with a 120°-Rotation of 01:43:629 (2) - would be pretty neat. honestly prefer this how it is. making a pattern of these 3 objects would be like grouping the two measures together and i'd rather have them be separated by different types of objects (so straight line on 3). i also did a similar thing at 01:15:476 (2,3,4) -
6. 01:48:245 (3) - The music changes pretty drastically here so a NC would fit pretty good. Please consider to add it. Shiro pls
7. Well done smooth flowing diff. Not much to say here (:

Hard

1. I'd check my overall Spacing a bit again. Stuff like 01:03:014 (4,1,2) - can be avoided easily. it was using the distance snap of the previous sv change fml Also, I don't know if it's inentional, some patterns could have a much smoother flow as their movement feels really harsh. For example 01:11:322 (2,3,4) - plays pretty unstable to me due to the zigzag movement being just so slight. It would play so much better if 4 is located lower like this. These might be just very personal opinions thoigh.made the zigzag ziggier/zaggier
2. 00:52:399 (1,2,3) - I'm not really a friend of these to be honest since you are ignoring the note at 00:52:976 - but map one at 00:52:629 - where's actually no real sound whcih makes this section play so confusing >.< Something like this or 3/4-Repeats play and support the music much better. did something different than that since i don't want any 1/4 sliders (excluding repeatingthings)
3. 01:10:860 (1) - Why are there two anchor points at the end? lol good question
4. 01:44:552 (1,2,3) - Consider to map the blue tick between 2 and 3 as well since you've always mapped it (e.g. 01:37:168 (1,2) - ). This note is much stronger than the one on the red tick which makes it pretty weird to be ignored. I suggest you to either do a 3/4-Slider + Circle to be consistent or just simply add a note to make a triplet. dood 3/4 sliders dooood
5. Not much to say here. This one section is kinda confusing which should be changed imo but the rest is very well done :p

Insane

1. After reading through the mods I've seen that there seem to be some differences in the opinions about the HP-Settings so that might be a personal thing. My opinion on this is to use HP7.5 to support the aggressive feeling of the song. It would also fit the Spread pretty nice imo. every modder: "change hp drain!" me: "fine i dont even care -.-"
2. The Spacing in the Section at the Beginning could be a bit more even. Especially at Patterns like 00:13:629 (3,4,5) - and 00:18:245 (5,6,1,2) - (where you've used 1,8 DS randomly) should be adjusted. did stuff
3. Several objects are hitting the HP-Bar. You might want to avoid that as it destroys some aesthetical aspects.
4. 00:21:014 (5,6,7,8) - Meh, this plays pretty harsh. I guess you want the circular movement with the previous objects but it would be much more natural to have them in a line as this feels kinda unstable. Example i do like that more (even though this should be in the hard diff section lol)
5. 00:23:783 (3) - The shape with the low red anchor point kink looks a bit random here if you ask me. It would look pretty cool if the second part of the shape is more like 00:24:706 (5) - . Example changed this differently. vocals suck
6. 00:41:322 (1) - /Minor/ - This might be my person preference but it would actually be pretty cool if you'd rotate it by -10° (Selection Centre) to get a kind of ovalish shape with 00:40:399 (5) - . Example i'd actually like this pointed down more so the insturmental pitch change is expressed more
7. 00:45:017 - You've got an unsnapped inherited Section here o/ 3 milliseconds -.-
8. 00:53:553 (6,7) - It would be pretty cool to see these two spaced like 00:57:245 (7,8) - to be consistent and to give the pattern a neat feeling (: the custom stacks are there depending on the direction the cursor is coming from. this one is a normal stack since it's from the left and the other two are custom since they're from the right :/
9. 01:34:860 (1) - This line lol I DON'T CARE IT'S BEAUTIFUL
10. Just a few things here, I don't really want to become too nitpicky ;_; Good job!

Wow, the set is very good. There's not much left to say after so many mods and as I've already said, I don't want to become too nitpicky. Good luck and take a star '^'

[Normal]

1. 00:52:745 - There's a drum beat here, but it's not mapped. This song would probably be harder map a Normal for, but I think it's fine if you a circle for this. Or maybe you could do something by changing how you mapped it. However, even a newer player might anticipate the slider 00:52:860 earlier than it is because of this beat. for these, mapping something on the blue ticks would probably cause more confusion due to polarity issues. keeping stuff on white/red ticks is a lot easier to read, therefore it probably makes more sense to not include these beats.

5. Unless I'm missing something, "drum-sliderslide3.wav" is also not needed. yea
6. Your SB image is too big, plese refer to this page and change it accordingly. waiting on something (?)

Normal

1. 00:27:955 (3,5) - Really minor one, but this could be a little bit cleaner if you rotated (4)+(5) anticlockwise a bit triangle'd
   
   This way, 3-4-5 create a beautiful triangle

   
2. 00:36:706 - You might want to place a reversed 1/2 slider here to stay consistent with 00:21:937 (4) - might yes
3. 00:53:553 (3) - This slider is rhythmically wrong, it starts on a weak beat and ends on a strong one, this generally feels very awkward to play because the player input is at the weak beat, but the actual impact of the song is where the player releases their input. This is a often reocurring issue in this difficulty, a way to fic this would be i'm gonna be honest, i don't think this is a problem here. i know about passive sliders and whatnot, but this instance wouldn't be as necessary to change as the one in the hard difficulty. they start and end on the two guitar beats, leaving a space (which is in the music) between the little drum thing that comes in on the next beat. doing your suggestion would be mapping the gap with a slider body, which makes no sense to me, then ending on the start of the drum phrase. if i were to change that one beat long slider into just two circle,s it would just make for some hard to look at circle spam in each instance of this. i've asked some other people what they thought about it (the red people) and they said the way it follows the guitar is more important than it being an "offbeat slider." the song is full of offbeat rhythms so i could even use that reasoning, but yeah, i don't think i'm going to change that
   
4. 00:57:229 (4) - same issue here, for this you could do something like that:
   
5. 00:58:167 (6) - tbh I'd replace this one with a single circle on 00:58:398. Too many 1/2 get messy and hard to read for newer players. yeah i wasn't liking hte congestion there much, and i apparently don't know alternatives until someone tells me lol
6. 01:00:937 (3) - sliderissue as adressed before
7. 01:04:618 (4) - ^

Hard

• 00:50:553 (3) - this slider doesn't really look good tbh, I'd avoid anchors here to have it cleaner. adjusted it, but didn't get rid of the red anchors. they're there to express the progressive SV change without the need of NC spam. that's why 00:51:476 (4) - also has the little bump (which was fine since you didn't mention?)

1. 00:53:091 (3,4) - Same slider-starting-on-weak-beat issue I adressed in the Normal, but fixing this would be a bit more complicated, that what i came up with spontaneously, that way all the strong beats are emphasized by sliderheads, it feels natural to play: did stuff with the first slider, but not the second one. you put a slider end on the guitar introduction thing, which really doesn't fit well in my opinion. i could map everything there with circles, but that would be stupid. differentiating between drums/guitar with circles/sliders respectively is the best way imo
   
2. 00:56:072 (1,2,3,4) - ^
3. 01:00:937 (3) - You can just replace with by 2 circles, that would make more sense to the two more or less equally strong beats. keeping this as differentiation between guitar/drums, as mentioned above
4. 01:04:618 (4) - ^
5. 01:10:399 (5) - remove a reverse arrow, the guitar doesn't string on01:10:745. yeah
6. 01:21:014 (3) - How about a different slidershape? For example: did something close to that
   
   This would just look a bit better :v

   

Insane

1. I suggest you move this one away from the "shadow" of the previous slider. It should be rankable as is, but it might be hard to catch and people could get pissed lol trying to keep that as unusual as possible. what better way to transition from calm to extreme than a weird af object placement
2. 00:53:206 (5) - This one is wrong rhythmically, you'd want the whistle hitsound on 00:53:322 and thus the slider on that spot, too, so you should go with a rhythm like that: didn't use that rhythm, but fixed the issue
   
3. 01:36:706 (7,8) - In order to stay consistent with what you did at 01:35:322 (1,2,3,4), I'd recommend to replace these two 1/4 sliders with circles on the 1/2 beats this is true
   
4. 01:37:168 (1) - dasdf
   
   A few slight changes to sliderpoints can make this a lot cleaner

   
5. 01:41:091 (3,4) - these feel somewhat unfitting due to rhythm issues again, you could try some interesting rhythmical variation here: i'd really rather keep this. the rhythm you gave doesn't really support the triplet things in the drums, which is what i'm mapping with the reverse sliders. they get louder with each drum hit, but using three circles for these would be a bit of overkill considering how i mapped the rest of the section. it's similar to 01:12:884 (1,2,3) - on this (except those have much more emphasized tails than mine)
   
6. 01:45:129 (5,1,2) - I'd really recommend to not have these big sliders, they're not exactly wrong but feel somewhat empty because the son's intensity doesn't change from the previous sections. You could shorten them by 1/2 and do something like that maybe: while i was snapping slider stuff last night i was actually wondering why no modders pointed out how crap this was
   
7. 01:49:846 (4) - I'd rather you end the map here with a circle instead of a slidertail, especially with the strong hitclap here. i tried it out and it felt really awkward to hit the last object of the map on a blue tick. i can take away the hitsound there if that's what's bugging you, since in the song the blue tick isn't really different from any other ticks in that section. the other diffs also didn't end there, if that means anything

Overall surprisingly solid, without wanting to sound rude :v how should i feel what :v sorry if it looks like i rejected everything. my "yes" responses are a lot shorter those saying "no." this was really helpful though, thank you

1. 00:17:343 (3,4,5,1) - The flow here is pretty weird due to the movement you need to hit these objects. Consider something like this (followed by this). yeah
2. 00:18:245 (4) - Consider adding a whistle to follow the string instrument. if i were to add it here because of the guitar, i'd have to add it in a few other places and pattern screwed up not worth it
3. 00:36:706 (6) - Try moving the node on the tail to (300,380). This will change the position of the tail to the point where the cursor movement needed to hit this will be more natural (taking 00:35:783 (4,5) in account). yeeeeeah
4. 00:52:399 - I recommend you to use the default Soft finish here. A Drum finish doesn't really work out to emphasize the first cymbal in this second half... well, at least for me, admittedly. Still, try it first. (I believe that there are also a lot more cymbals that could be emphasized with a default Soft finish, but you decided to use hitsounds from the custom Drum samplesets to emphasize them instead. Consider utilizing more default Soft finishes.) put finishes in like 12 places
5. 00:57:937 (5) - Remove the clap? I believe that the drum hitnormal should suffice to emphasize the drum instrument here. would be inconsistent with 00:54:245 (4) - so uh might be better not to
6. 00:55:153 (6,7,1) - There is quite a gap of spacing between (6,7) and (7,1) (by 0.08x DS). Try to make them consistent. It isn't really visible visually here I know, but... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah
7. 01:13:860 - I don't think the whistle is necessary. The one on the white tick after this should be enough. Remove the one here? (Note that I do aware about the existence of this hitsound pattern in the harder diffs, but here, you only used this double whistle once, which becomes pretty jarring.) dddsads
8. 01:18:224 (1) - I believe a Soft finish (the custom one) would fit better than a Normal one here. did somethign else
9. 01:19:398 - 01:21:698 - Consider using the Soft sampleset and don't use any hitsound here to follow the silence of the music. The vocal isn't a valid reason to use finishes, and the Normal sampleset's hitsounds just... don't work. did this with the drum sampleset instead of soft. soft is... i dunno too soft lol

1. 00:50:552 (5,1) - Logically, to follow the gradual increase of the song's loudness, shouldn't the slower slider be the first, followed by the faster one? i know exactly what you mean, but it makes for a lot more emphasis to have 1 slower rather than faster since it's not the kind of thing you would be expecting
2. 01:49:156 (1,2,3,4) - Rotate these sliders by 10 degrees clockwise? I personally feel that it'll flow better like this. Try it first. doesn't really work too well imo. 01:49:616 (3) - is already touching y=0, so the only way to rotate would be to have 01:49:156 (1) - directly to the left of the stream, which doesn't play all that well. having the stream switch direction with the slider on 1 makes more sense when playing

The hitsound suggestions in the Normal diff applies to the Hard and Insane diff. did stuff there too of course

Poke me once you're done. scumbag timezones. also should i be kudosuing you for this or what since p/3270362
