Congrats! You won my Lottery mod from modding queue! Here is your ticket. [General]
Nice mapset!
I agree with Leorda, an Insane would be very interesting.
I'm not going to mod the diffs one by one because the things I want to say are general.
Even if all the overall mapset is good, there are some things you make in each difficulties that sadly decrease the value of your map.
- Your patterns are always very horizontal or vertical.Let me try to explain: on Easy for exemple, because it's the most visible, look at your sliders. Now focus on the heads and the ends of them. They are all aligned on the same axis (except these: 00:13:252 (3,1) ) That's why, even if you use some curved sliders, the whole map seems straight.
It's the same thing on Normal (hopefully 00:29:796 (2) and 01:05:310 (1) - bring a little of change, and some placements erase a little the straight feeling) and in Hard (but it's far less than the other diffs).
In the Hard diff you use more varied sliders like these: 00:11:487 (2) , 00:22:737 (3) and even 00:23:840 (5). Your circles are not always vertically or horizontally placed, which is good to reduce the straight feeling i'm talking about. Please rework at least the two easier diffs with this idea in mind. It will make more interresting and fun to play maps.
Here are 2 patterns I made for my own map that can show you a mapping not based on the X and Y axis (I don't want you to consider me as a model at all, but as I made it I thought of it.)
- Your patterns are also very symetrical with each othersIt's not bad to use this method but I think there is a little too much. I understand it's an easy and not bad way to map, but like everything, if you use it too much, it becomes bad.
- It is linked with the previous comment but I want to make a special comment for it: you use a lot of copy/paste patterns.In the Easy diff, your two Kiai Times are made with the same objects, it's almost a simple copy/paste. The rest of the time, there are symmetrical parts I talked about (which means copy/paste) and other objects you already used.
The Easy diff is, like for the horizontal and vertical comment, the most affected.
To conclude, your mapset is good, there is no real mapping problem. But your maps (espacially the 2 easier) are a little dull and not that fun to play, because of the overuse of copy/past, symmetrical, horizontally and vertically made patterns.
You seem to have good mapping skills, you "only" have to improve your style by varying your patterns.
That's all, by the way it's only my opinion but I hope it was still helpfull.
Good luck for ranking, I give you a star to encourage you!
