Sorry for the late mod. Really busy with exams and assignments x.x
I didn't really like the song too much, but I don't mind. This song is very mysterious and was just odd in general. I found it relatively hard to think of anything to change because I couldn't really get into the groove of the song. I mainly had suggestions that applied for some or all of the difficulties. Especially in the harder difficulties, there wasn't too much wrong with the map. My mod was mainly for the more technical stuff, sliders and SV, and when it came to adding notes in specific sections I realize I'm rather vague.
General/All DifficultiesChange the overall SV in the Kantan and the Futsuu to 1.2 (this isn't too important).
00:29:601 - I don't think this SV change is necessary in all the difficulties, especially the Kantan and the Futsuu. You
must remove the SV change in these two difficulties.
01:11:783 (1) - This spinner, and other ones in this section of the
Kantan should be changed to sliders because that's what you used for every other difficulty.
01:43:783 - Why isn't this spinner/slider in a kiai time? You put a kiai time for every other spinner/slider, so keep it consistent.
01:43:783 (1) - This should be a slider. In the Futsuu and Muzukashii, all of these are sliders except for this spinner.
01:49:601 - Same thing for the spinner/slider here.
02:15:783 (1) - This really long spinner is probably not the best choice especially in the Kantan and the Futsuu. Maybe just make it a rest time, or add notes instead (this is optional).
02:30:329 (1) - This hit is a different colour in the Kantan, Futsuu and Muzukashii, compared to the colour in the Oni and Inner Oni. Change so that it's the same colour.
02:53:601 - Changing the SV this fast in the Kantan and the Futsuu is an issue. As I mentioned before, you shouldn't get any faster than the normal speed (1.00x).
03:59:783 - This stream in the Oni and Inner Oni (and Muzukashii if you didn't remove it) should be
k. It sounds better.
04:15:056 - Add hits until this point for every difficulty. Just putting a
k here is enough in every difficulty. This is optional.
KantanSuggestions:
00:31:601 (25) - Putting hits on an irregular beat is really hard for a Kantan, Move it onto the beat. This goes for hits 27, 29, 45, 50, 55, 60, and 72. Hit 84 is fine where it is.
02:31:419 (2) - Change to
k.
02:43:056 (2) - Same Thing.
03:39:419 (123,124,125) - This rhythm is hard for a Kantan. Remove hit 124.
03:41:601 (128) - Change to
k.
Optional:
02:36:147 - I think you can add hits to the break time. I know it's a Kantan, so it should have a bit of a break, but still
FutsuuSuggestions:
00:07:783 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) - This section could use a bit more hits. Add whatever you think is necessary.
00:29:601 (17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25) - This rhythm is too hard for a Futsuu. Remove some hits. I'd suggest removing hit 20, and maybe even hit 22.
00:35:419 (31) - From here to 01:05:965 (130) there are too many pair 1/2 notes. Remove some of them that are not exactly on the beat.
02:31:419 (2) - Change to
k.
02:51:965 (16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25) - This rhythm is too hard as well. Remove some hits. This one is a bit more optional, though since it's before a kiai time.
03:38:692 (175,176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183) - Same thing for this rhythm.
03:41:601 (186) - Change to
k.
03:59:783 (21,22,23,24,25,26,27) - This rhythm is DEFINITELY too hard for a Futsuu. Remove hits 22, 23, 25, and 26.
MuzukashiiSuggestions:
00:07:783 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14) - This part could use some hits except for where hits 3-8 are.
00:26:692 (20) - Move to 00:26:874.
00:27:238 (21) - Move to 00:27:419.
00:42:329 (63,64,65,66,67) - This is a recurring pattern in this difficulty but might be a bit too hard. I'd change hit 67 to
k. Same with all the other patterns that are like this.
01:16:874 (164) - Remove finisher. It sounds exactly like one of the instruments earlier, but you never put a finisher on that one.
01:28:510 (183) - Same Thing.
01:31:419 (187) - Same Thing.
02:39:056 (2) - Same Thing.
Optional:
01:34:329 (194) - Remove finisher.
01:52:510 (4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18) - This part is practically the same in the Futsuu. Make this part harder in the Muzukashii, or this part in the Futsuu easier.
03:17:965 (116) - Rather than these sliders, I think you could put a ddd or kkk triplet then another 1/2 beat later another hit. For example, it would be starting from 03:17:965, kkk d. Spaces represent half a beat. This is just an example, but you can make it however you want, or just ignore it entirely.
03:48:147 (219) - This could be something like a ddd ddd instead of a slider too. I think I'd just keep it as a slider, tbh.
OniAs said before, I don't have many suggestions for the harder difficulties. Sorry!
Honestly, there wasn't anything to change. It was pretty good.
Suggestions:
00:31:056 (68,69,70,71,72,73,74) - This part is rather bland. Add some hits. Ask me in game if you're really stuck on how to add to this. What I'm thinking is a bit complex, so I'd prefer to talk actively rather than using the forums. My rhythm might not be the best in your opinion.
00:47:692 - Add a
k here, like in the Inner Oni. Without it, it sounds a bit weird.
01:22:692 (12) - Remove finisher.
01:22:692 (12) - Same Thing.
Inner OniSuggestions:
00:31:056 (82,83,84,85,86,87,88) - This part could use a bit more hits too. Add some.
01:11:056 (12) - Remove Finisher.
01:22:692 (13) - Same Thing.
02:53:601 - Map this part more similar to the 2nd half of the kiai time. I like the rhythm better in the 2nd half. Might up the difficulty rating substantially but whatever
03:59:692 (90) - Move this hit to 03:59:662 using the 1/6 beat snap divisor. It sounds better.
Optional:
00:11:783 (9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17) - This rhythm isn't the best(imo), but if you're fine with that, just ignore.
Oh, and also, what chapter of Cytus is this in? I never came across it while playing it. Good luck on rank
