00:20:937 (2,3) - This part can confuse some people, Suggest you switch 2 with 3 I wanted the direction to change around a lot for that part, so I'll leave it.
01:05:938 (2,3) - Same as before, except now switch 4 with 3 I like the zig zag motion, so I'll leave it. If I switched, the spacing would be atrocious anyway.
01:16:350 (3) - What is this lonely note doing way out there? Doing the same thing that 01:10:703 (4) is doing - keeping the rhythm going.
01:18:821 (5) - Seems ok to me, but if you want to you can move the head of the slider to point at the direction of beat 4? This is only a suggestion, not something important I wanted this to start the down turn of the motion, so I'll leave it.
01:48:997 (4,5,6,7) - A nest of confusion, could you untangle this? It plays fine for me. Can you let me know what exactly you had a problem with? I'm reading it fine - the rhythm is going with the lyrics. Not sure where the confusion is setting in.
01:55:350 (6) - Again, this is ok to me but for some people they may not like having to move from one end to another, so could you flip slider? Just another suggestion. I wanted to mix things up as the map progressed, and this is just a small jump that's pretty easy to read. As for not liking to have to move their cursor... uh, isn't that the point of the game?
02:24:115 (5) - Return of the isolated note D: Show somelove for it and bring it closer. It's there to keep the clap rhythm going, plus it's distance snapped anyway. I could fill in the gap, but I don't like the way the rhythm sounds compared to the rest of the way it's been set up.
03:00:821 - Could you place a note here? It makess the transition smoother and follows the rythm (Tested in edit mode) Sure
03:03:057 (4) - Move it up 1/4th It's 1/3.

I suck at hard maps so I can't help you there. I really like this song and how you mapped the guitar solo in the map; so for that: STAR~

[Hard]
The fact that this is the only diff with soft custom hitsounds is kinda weird, oh well... The why the rhythms worked out didn't seem to fit very well when I tried to adapt the other difficulties to use it. I just kept it in this diff.
I like it, I feel that there are some custom-softwhistles and some normal hitclaps missing. I'll list them below.

Easy
You've smoothed some of the rythms near the beginning out, which makes it easier but also makes it feel more robotic. If it's a few beats then it makes sense, but sliderends and parts later in the map don't need to simplify it for the newbs so much I can see where you're going... but my attempt made it too similar to Normal for my liking.

But yeah good otherwise

Normal
You have a load of tiny little overlaps here, and it'd feel so much polished if you spaced them out a little more so they didn't overlap :/
Hrm, polished up, I hope.

Bah can't find any problems

Hard
Same as normal, it'd be more awesome with no overlaps. apart from the stream obviously
kk

Gah stop mapping so flawlessly

[Easy]

01:03:311 (2) - This clap and the next ones during the chorus sound really bad in my opinion. If I were you, I'd use a custom clap taken from the template skin, hitnormal-normal maybe Um, I'm already using the normal hit sound set there, so making the clap the normal-hitnormal would be rather redundant... or am I misunderstanding you?
01:05:958 (2) - Since the previous pattern was mapped in 1/1 I suggest you to move this 1/2 earlier and to add another repeat. Same thing on the second and the third chorus. There's a pretty big visual cue with this distance snap, plus it's a repeat slider, so even if they miss a bit rhythmically, they'll still get it aligned fine, and then they'll know that it's going with the lyrics. I think it's fine.
03:02:939 (2) - Slider's end is on a 1/6 tick, even if with your offset it still don't follow the guitar solo. When you change the old offset, don't forget to resnap this! Why can't anybody actually listen to the guitar solo? It IS in 1/6. Nobody complains about my following the guitar the entire way in the hard mode, which is the exact same rhythm, but OH NO 1/6 IN EASY DOESN'T FOLLOW GUITAR OMG.
02:59:430 (x) - Maybe you should add a hitcircle here. Up to you~ Hrm... sure.
04:03:312 [Keyframe] After the spinner you can see some rotate+fade keyframes. I suggest you to fade all the SB object, because the lyrics has to follow only the vocal voice lol I did that on purpose, actually.

01:36:998 (2) - Suggestion: make this 1/2 shorter in order to follow the vocal voice? Same thing: here 01:42:644 (2) Alright.
02:07:880 (2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4) - Omg. Pretty hard for a normal, isn't it? Maybe replace this pattern with sliders, it would be more easy. Hrm, Well, I wanted a ramping of difficulty with the same rhythmic pattern on that riff... I'll try mixed stacks instead.
02:42:645 (1) - Lolspacing. Add a hitcitcle here 02:42:115 (x) - and stack it with the first one Nah, I wanted that part to be strictly vocal, and the center of the screen hit following into the spinner. With the OD and time distance, I'm thinking it won't cause any problem.
03:59:234 (6) - Errr..use the distance snap also here. It may be confusing ;_;

[Hard]

01:24:821 (6,7) - Whyyyy did you use whistles here ;_; Use some finish instead? You shoulda heard the song when I had whistles all over the place. =P I think they fit there, but since you're the second to bring it up, I'll change it.

Whoops, I wrote the wrong value. Sorry for that, I mean 3331, and I'm quite sure about this; I tested the Hard diff with a good acuracy and also 1/6 part fits perfectly the guitar solo.

It still feels really off to me, sorry. D: If someone else mentions an offset similar, I'll take it into consideration, though.

My bad, I missed to write that you should use a Soft section here. ):

Aaah. Makes more sense, hehe. Well, I wanted to keep some sort of consistency with the hit sounding across the difficulties (minus the custom soft heavily used in Hard) so I'll keep it.

Or mine was just a reminder, like "Don't forget to fix this part in 1/6 if you will change the offset!" since in the Easy there is just a slider snapped in 1/6 you could forget in, instead of the Hard (you mapped the whole part). lol

Oops. I think I auto-raged there, haha.

01:41:409 (4) - In my opinion it's better to shorten this slide by 1/2, and add a note at 01:42:115 (5) with finish I want to avoid doing stuff like that in an easy - especially how this one is modeled. It wouldn't fit, imo.

00:35:938 (4) - I feel like there should be whistles on every return and the end, except the start of the slider Added one on second to last.
00:39:997 - From here your use of hitsounds starts to differ from other sections
Well, I'm becoming tired of all this, I stop here.. I can say just that something like this sounds bad 01:39:468 (6,7) - it should be nothing and than a whistle on the countrary Yeah, with some of these, I'm not strictly doing patterned stuff against the percussion - some are stresses with the vocals, etc. I'm more worried about the map instead of the hit sounds, hehe.
But if you wish, we can talk about that through game chat

Anyway, the map is good, so is the song. Star *

clap at every 2nd and 4th white line is.... a nice way (and wtf why use whistle... soft-whistle is great and you can use them together and show people a effect that 2 instruments mixed), but i think you need more beats on them, now miss a lot, and this style can't perform really well. Noted. orz, I just removed the custom sound. would have to remap a lot and would ruin the style I wanted to go for with this song.
01:23:938 (1) - 1 grid up+ 1 grid left(and other notes on symmetry position), think it looks better I like the slightly collapsed look of this one better.

03:01:174 (1,2,1,2,3,4,5,6,1) - i love soft streams but with no whistles.... T T ;_;

Ooo, nice. Thanks!

[Easy]
The spacing for this difficulty is pretty big. I'm noticing that you don't like overlapping objects but you can do it without the need for ridiculous spacing. I'm sorry but...this is not an Easy.

Hrm, I'll see what I can do to tone it down a bit. Hopefully I can keep the same style - it's a pretty old map for me, hehe.

[Normal]
Same as Easy.

And yeah, I think normals are the hardest difficulty for me to make since it's hard for me to think of something of an intermediate level between the easy/hard settings without over doing it. Anything beyond just the spacing?

02:24:998 (2,3) - What the hell? Might just be a mistake though. Yeah, I caught this error while play testing yesterday. I guess you had this going before then.

[Hard]
02:07:527 - Those two combos I don't like playing them... Though it's probably the surface that I'm playing on. Other than that, this difficulty is pretty fun. I like 'em. :)

I'm also hitting the notes late, is there something wrong with the timing? Could be just me though. My offsets tend to be hit or miss, though I always end up pretty spot on when I play it. Tends to waver from person to person though. I'll bump the offset a little and see how that results.

Eehhh, I don't think I'll star it just yet.
