Heyo~ From your queue.
General:- I'm a bit worried about that gap between the two diffs. The Hard looks in some parts like an
Insane because of the jumps and antiflow. Personally I feel the diff is a bit too hard to name it
"Hard" but it might just be me. The best thing would be to place another diff between them named
"Advanced" or something like that. This said, if you make the Hard diff easier then the gap will
obviously be fine.
Hard:- 00:31:876 (1) Placing a jump here makes more sense to me since the new vocal starts
here and it's strong. - 00:34:066 (3) Making this straight slider almost similar to 00:33:190 (5) causes a bit weird
flow imo (If you understand what I mean, since the flow goes down and then down again.) I would
rather replace that straight slider with a curved one and make it face the opposite direction for a
different flow. (I can't use puush atm so sorry for not giving you a visual) - 00:36:694 (4,2) I would try stacking this or avoid the overlap.
- 00:38:446 (4,4) I understand your intentions here with the stack but this stack causes (4) to
overlap with 00:38:665 (5) which I would rather avoid for neatness reasons. - 00:41:511 (3) Not sure if such a big jump like this is reasonable here since the vocals isn't that
strong and doesn't really suggest a jump. - 00:42:387 (1) Why is this jump so small? In comparison with this jump: 00:40:416 (5,1) it
doesn't make sense that the jump here: 00:42:387 (1) is smaller. Especially since the pause
there is longer. - 00:42:059 (4,2) Uhh, overlappings like this is really unnecessary imo.
- 00:45:015 (3,4,1) Start mapping this pattern on the left side of the grid please to avoid all the
unnecessary overlaps and crammed patterns. - 00:45:453 (4,1) Same as 00:42:387 (1) Your jumps' spacings are inconsistent and it's not a
good idea to make the jumps bigger on beats that isn't that strong and smaller on beats that are
more important for emphasis. - 00:48:957 (5) Why make the jump here bigger than here: 00:34:942 (6) ? Since they have
the same pattern and rhythm, I suggest you make their spacings consistent. - 00:50:271 (3) Rather not place this slider here. It causes a bad overlap with 00:48:957 (5)
There is a much better alternative afterall. - 00:50:271 (3,4) Spacings and placements like this doesn't really suit a Hard imo especially
since the vocal isn't strong enough to suggest a jump. - 00:52:460 (3,1) Antiflow like this suits Insanes more and not Hards.
- 00:54:212 (4,5,1,2,3,4,5) For a slow and calm song like this, I'm not sure if these overlaps are
the best choice since it looks more untidy. Personally I think it would be better to avoid the
overlaps. - 00:59:249 (3) Why place a jump here but not here: 00:58:154 (1) or here: 00:59:906 (1)
- 01:02:095 (2,3) Whoa, very big jump here >.< I highly suggest you shorten the jump.
- There is still a lot of places where your jumps are inconsistent with others or where certain
jumps doesn't make sense. I won't point out all of them since that will take too long but I will point
out jumps that really stand out for me. - 01:24:431 (1) Why won't you place a jump here? The vocals clearly suggests it.
- 01:27:935 (1) Rather place a jump here and not here: 01:28:592 (2) The vocal is stronger at
(1) and it makes more sense. - 01:31:438 (1,4) Perfect this stack.
- 01:38:446 (1) Jump?
- 01:48:519 (4) This jump looks so inconsistent and it looks weird that you would rather place a
jump there but not here: 01:48:957 (1) - 01:48:957 (1) This slider's shape is pretty weird >.< It can be improved imo.
- 01:59:030 (4,2,3) Not a fan of these overlaps. Try to place (2) and (3) somewhere where they
won't overlap. There is an entire grid so overlaps can be avoided. - 02:04:723 (1,3) Perfect the stack
- 02:52:022 (1,2) Stacking like this prevents smooth flow. You didn't do it anywhere else in the
previous part of the diff so rather stay consistent.
I'm rather gonna end my mod here because I don't want it to be too long and I don't want to repeat
myself the whole time. Your rhythm is good but the jumps, placements and certain flowparts can
still do with improvement. Mostly the jumps: You have many jumps in this Hard diff and I
understand this is your hardest diff but it should still meet the requirements for a Hard imo, thus
only place jumps where you hear the vocals are strong and also keep the jumps consistent. Don't
place jumps randomly. You have to listen to the music/vocals and place your jumps according to
that. Neatnesswise: I'm a mapper/modder that loves tidy maps, meaning that I usually try my best
to avoid unnecessary overlaps by using the entire grid. That can still be improved here imo. Just
go through the diff and try to see where you can avoid unnecesary overlaps. There's usually
always a better alternative.
Normal:- The AR of 5 is too high for the easiest diff. I remember that one of my maps got DQ'ed
because of this. An AR of 4 will be fine. - 00:32:752 (2,3,4) The spacing here looks inconsistent. (4) is too close to (3).
- 00:37:570 (3,4,1) Here too. The DS that has to be used is 1.00X. Make sure that all the
spacings in this diff is consistent. - 01:10:416 (1,2,3,1,2,3) These two combos go to 3 but the rest goes up to 7/6 so make sure
your NC patterns are consistent. - 01:32:095 (3) Not sure if the vocals really suggest a wiggly slider like this. A normal curved
slider would work fine imo. - 01:52:460 (1,1) The reaction time between the spinner and the next note looks rather short for
the easiest diff. You can remove this: 01:55:088 (1) - 03:27:059 (1,4) This overlap can be avoided. Just move (4) to X:504 Y:64 to form a blanket
with 03:27:716 (2) - 03:34:066 (1,1) Same as 01:52:460 (1,1)
This diff has a lot of 1/2 rhythms which is rather difficult for the easiest diff. The easiest diff is
usually meant for the beginners and has to be on their level. I guess you can check with a QAT or
BN if this is fine, but personally I don't think so. Adding an Easy diff will be the best choice imo or
you can lessen the 1/2 rhythms if you make the Hard easier.
Overall, this is quite a nice set so far. I just think the spread can still be improved.
Good Luck~!
