What's new: Another complete remap, thanks to finding the correct timing. Hard is not complete, and layout on other difficulties isn't good yet.
What's next: Finish hard, make layout better on all, add hitsounds and double check combo lengths.

My first beatmap, 100% by me. Doesn't have a very strong beat, so I'm going to try mapping an easier song while I work on this one.

Hey from Gecko's modding queue!

General

So I know those weren't very map specific mods, but they are all important to fix before people even start moving your notes around lol. Hope this helped some.

Hey, from my TURBO M4M queue.

Before I start, I suggest that you will try to play the game more overall, you know already hug aspects of mapping, such as Distane Snapping, hitsounding proprly and more, which I didn't know until a while after I started mapping. But there are also huge lacks in this map. There's no good flow overall, sometimes it seems like you are just dropping random / slider circles according to the DS (Distance Snapping) but sometimes you miss the rhythm (or vocal) and the pattern does not look neat at all.

A thing you can do to improve by yourself, download NEW maps (not most of the old ones from 2012 and before), use the editor and look and the map difficulties, you will notice that there is some connection between the notes and they're not just dropped randomly, the new maps are also look great, opposed to the old maps which used to place circles in lines and put sliders beteween them (which you did).

Now to talk about your map, I will use the HARD difficulty for reference, but use it as a note for both.

00:20:545 (2) - The slider follows vocal, but it ends on plain nothing. When you use 1/4 as the BSD (Beat Snap Divisor), you'll notice 3 color of lines on your time line. White - Start of a new beat (can be kinda considered the end of a beat). Red - The middle of the beat. Blue - The exact middle between the previous two. Now, the slider just ended on a blue line, which means the slider ends before the beat ends and it just sounds wrong and unfit, if the music had a beat in that place or the vocals stopped there, it'd fit, but it unfts and unnecessary. You can find some of these on your map.

I think this specific song is a bit hard to map for new mappers. Lets go to 00:22:727, now choose 25% on the bottom right of the screen near the "Playback Rate" text, it is easier to analyze the beats of the songs like that. Now let the map play and you'll notice that the notes you placed do not fit at all, they are not on the music's beat and even if you fix it you'll still notice some defects, this is because your map timing was wrong, I checked and the BPM is 164, and not 165. The second problem is that your offset on the timing point is wrong. Now, remove all timing points except for the first one. We need to move the timing point to where a strong beat starts (which is around where you start to map as well). If you didn't find it, I did, it is 00:11:981 (or just 11981 as the offset). The slider should start there as well, now go all over the map again (with 25% playack rate - recommended for more efficiency) and make sure everything is timed right.

I hope I was helpful, if you have any questions you can PM me in forum on in game and I will answer happily, good luck.
