- Improve Blanket Sliders
- Trauma streams are messy.
Kritikally
[General]
BPM to 138.00 so it doesn't go slightly out of sync near the end.

[Easy]
00:02:839 (5) - Can pretty up that blanket.
00:04:144 (1) - ^^
00:20:665 (2) - ^^
00:27:187 (4) - Try to make it's spacing from (2) identical to (3).
01:08:383 (2,3,4,5,6) - These off-beat notes may be too hard for Easy. Try to avoid the blue ticks whenever possible, at least at this difficulty.
01:11:100 (2) - Can pretty up that blanket.
01:14:578 (2) - ^^
01:57:622 (2) - Try to get it so (1) and (2) are perfectly parallel.
02:38:491 (1,2,3,4,5) - These off-beat notes may be too hard for Easy. Try to avoid the blue ticks whenever possible, at least at this difficulty.

[Insane]
00:07:732 (1,2,3) to 00:14:038 (7,8,9) - Keeping these on the same points make them even more repetitive than they already are. Move them around to create more of a challenge -- maybe some gradually increasing jumps from the beginning of the section to the end, increasing after each group of 3.
00:35:238 (1,2,3,4,5,6) to 00:41:653 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Same idea as above. Some repetition is fine, but this is a little overkill, spread them around a bit!
01:08:072 (4)- Maybe replace this bar with a spinner? If so, remove 01:08:072 (4), 01:08:398 (1,2,3,4,5), and 01:09:811 (1).
02:12:435 (1,2,3,4) and all similar - may be overmapping. I know it's Insane, but there's nothing going on music-wise to warrant these circles.
02:36:136 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) maybe replace this with something more fitting for the music?

[Summary]
Great mix, and you have a pretty good map foundation. The Insane difficulty could use some tweaking, as it's currently quite repetitive, but your Easy (minus a couple small issues) is pretty solid.

8.5/10 Easy, 5.5/10 Insane so far. Keep at it!

I'm not sure what you mean. It is already blanketed. Its not just blanketing the one inside note, its in the same trajectory as the notes around it.
00:27:187 (4) - Try to make it's spacing from (2) identical to (3). The slider was copied and rotated. just not by 90 degrees
01:08:383 (2,3,4,5,6) - These off-beat notes may be too hard for Easy. Try to avoid the blue ticks whenever possible, at least at this difficulty. Yeah they might, but my HP drain rate is fairly forgiving. They aren't hidden notes, they are 5 pretty big beats. I'll will see if I need to just change the level difficulty once i get more input.
01:11:100 (2) - Can pretty up that blanket. I don't want my sliders to be touching.... Its a stylistic difference. I'm not going to blanke them anymore.
01:14:578 (2) - ^^
01:57:622 (2) - Try to get it so (1) and (2) are perfectly parallel. Done
02:38:491 (1,2,3,4,5) - These off-beat notes may be too hard for Easy. Try to avoid the blue ticks whenever possible, at least at this difficulty. Same as before. i was pretty wary going into this difficulty placing such a complex beat pattern, but its the only instance of offbeats and they are all for good buildup. Otherwise a difficult full of sliders that only end and start on downbeats can be rather dull...

[Insane]
00:07:732 (1,2,3) to 00:14:038 (7,8,9) - Keeping these on the same points make them even more repetitive than they already are. Move them around to create more of a challenge -- maybe some gradually increasing jumps from the beginning of the section to the end, increasing after each group of 3. Did you play test this or watch it play out in test mode? THis is a really hard thing to do already... Lol I changed it anyways. Now its even harder. LOL but at least its interesting. If the next few mods say this is an insane stream, I'll reverting it back to what i had originally.
00:35:238 (1,2,3,4,5,6) to 00:41:653 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Same idea as above. Some repetition is fine, but this is a little overkill, spread them around a bit! I guess the repetition was deliberate. If you missed one, you would have a lot of trouble getting back on the stream. Lol. Its changed. Its harder but less repetitive LOL.
01:08:072 (4)- Maybe replace this bar with a spinner? If so, remove 01:08:072 (4), 01:08:398 (1,2,3,4,5), and 01:09:811 (1). Its a break slider. Supposed to be easier. I tried with Spinner, it didn't fit the song.
02:12:435 (1,2,3,4) and all similar - may be overmapping. I know it's Insane, but there's nothing going on music-wise to warrant these circles. Its the underlining beat, the beat is 1/4 notes, if you slow down the music to 50% you cant hear this trope. Though, should i not stack the 1-4 beats..I wanted this be a rest section really.
02:36:136 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) maybe replace this with something more fitting for the music? The base changes, i thought it was a logical place to put it.

[Summary]
Great mix, and you have a pretty good map foundation. The Insane difficulty could use some tweaking, as it's currently quite repetitive, but your Easy (minus a couple small issues) is pretty solid. I plan on changing some of the variations in my Trauma diff. But I see this Beatmap almost as an Etude. Its for practicing triple-note streams that are not on the downbeat... More input needed for this theory :P

8.5/10 Easy, 5.5/10 Insane so far. Keep at it!
Thanks for mod! Come visit and see the progress frequently :3 Should I make an intermediate/hard diff?

There is a pick-up note right before the measure. Its Easy difficulty, so I'm not going to add pickup notes that sit on the 1/4 tick.

cool map and song! :P

free and easy!:
i just wanna say.. really cool how the hit sounds faded in..
00:38:500 (1) - this sliders kinda boring in my opinion.. sorry.. maybe make it more round??
01:08:398 (2,3,4,5,6) - i feel like these are too hard for easy mode but i can see that you said that your hp drain rate is pretty forgiving
02:38:527 (1,2,3,4) - same as above!
also it seems like a lot of timing points arent snapped! kiai times end time isnt snapped! its probably not a big deal but thats something i noticed :P

trauma:
i couldnt pass it.. but it looks super cool..

thats all i could catch!! sorry im not good at modding.. :?

00:38:500 (1) - this sliders kinda boring in my opinion.. sorry.. maybe make it more round?? Why everyone dislike linear sliders? Lol. Its fixed.
01:08:398 (2,3,4,5,6) - i feel like these are too hard for easy mode but i can see that you said that your hp drain rate is pretty forgiving I think its this map's highlight---or at least this song's highlight. I dont' know, I feel like this diff is a filler without anything interesting...iI don't want it to become a rank filler just for Trauma
02:38:527 (1,2,3,4) - same as above!

from M4M forum PM :3

GENERAL

  1. not sure but :3 i think you should change your BG :3 doesn't fit imo
  2. searching for normal and hard diff? ask modding forum (there should be Guest Diff mapper)
  3. cut your mp3 at 03:06:318 - and start fading at 03:00:013 -
  4. 02:54:183 - is not snapped
  5. un-check widescreen, and letterbox :3 don't mind the countdown if it's what you mean
  6. maybe use same break time
  7. umm... your BPM is different :3 fix at "Free & Easy" diff
  8. Delete "Japan, Japanese, Ayumi, Hamasaki, J-pop, jpop, M, Above, &, Beyond, Remix" at Tags
Trauma

SPOILER
stack leniency quite low :3 stacking note quite unreadable, and most of it following vocal :3 it's bored imo
00:07:731 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - not sure this one is readable :3 your jump is blocked by note
00:20:665 (4,5,6) - spacing problem
00:23:491 (1,2) - make slider (1) face directly to note (2)
00:25:013 (1) - fix the end :3 flow quite broken
00:26:861 (5) - what this slider following?
00:39:035 (6,1) - not sure this one is readable
00:55:883 - it's have same beats at 00:28:057 - but they have same note :3 quite bored imo
01:05:448 - don't use different beats in same section -_- quite hard even for good player
01:15:448 (7) - fix blanket
01:41:209 (1) - and onward :3 don't you feel you're to much spamming circle here?
02:04:361 (1,2,3,4) - spacing problem
02:12:405 - i don't like your style when you mix the vocal with that electro sound :3 not fit at all
02:26:318 - same as 00:55:883 -
02:33:491 - same as 01:41:209 -
02:35:883 - same as 01:05:448 -
02:40:231 - kiai start here

for me it's just hard diff :3 the one that make it insane is to much circle :3 change some of it and it will become hard diff
and yeah :3 it's quite terrible in beats timing :3 ii'm sure you can improve

Free & Easy

SPOILER
don't use lowest "Stack laniency" in Easier diff (easy and normal) :3
00:01:100 (2,3) - use 2 beats slider and remove (3)
00:01:970 (3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1,2) - what this note following?
00:04:144 (1,2,3) - flow is broken
00:26:323 (3,4) - blanket better
01:03:723 (1,1) - flow kinda broken a bit
01:08:398 (2,4) - blue tick beats is hard for easy diff (eventhough it's follow rhythm)
01:11:116 (2) - blanket better
01:12:856 (4) - fix the curve. ugly 1/2 slider
01:14:596 (2) - fix the blanket and flow
01:19:379 (4) - ^
01:21:553 (2,3,4) - i'm not sure :3 some says it's hard for beginner :3 for me it's not
01:34:165 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - woah... @_@ it's really hard for beginner :3 try slider after circle don't circle after slider
01:39:818 (4) - move it to 88,72
01:54:604 (1) - bad 1/2 slider
02:03:302 (1,2) - try slider after circle
02:18:523 (3,4,5) - ^
02:23:307 (1) - blanket better

02:52:444 (1,2) - ^

this one quite good :3 just need improvement at flow

Well, yea... such good song :3 some section need re-map so it doesn't overplay (too much spamming circle or slider in one section)

A hard map would be sweet, can't really play insanses :/ and easy is well boring
