General: remove the countdown and letterbox etc. you probably know those already
Did it but forgot to update00:39:858 (2,3,4) - and 00:44:658 (2,3,4) - Just making sure, but
if you wanted
only the drum additional hitsounds, you can just change the additions instead of sampleset. Of course if you wanted it to be like this, that's good, it doesn't sound bad anyways
Good idea, thanks!00:53:958 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5) - Music here is emphasising beats numbered by 3 (like 1/2 notes in a 3-3-2 form, very typical in dragonforce) so I think it would be better to NC from those and construct the triangles around them. Also after these patterns, the last triplet in the end of the last triangle is leading strongly to weird direction considering where the next slider goes. Maybe something like this could flow better
http://puu.sh/kOpuO/c8bf3e852c.jpg (except the half-assed placements, just get the idea) You decide
I changed it around, not sure if it flows as well as before though.01:30:708 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - There are few of these, nothing really wrong with these, but it feels like these patterns aren't going anywhere. This for example is somewhat stationary (well of course the notes are moving but the pattern itself stays kinda still) and then small break; 01:33:108 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This on the other hand is going somewhere, but then we get the small break, but still have somewhat same sized distance to the next beat, leading to a random pause. Overall I think these patterns could be tuned little to play better with the following stuff, maybe put a slider to the end to fill the gap. It's true tho that the music has only singing during the gaps anyways, and there isn't really anything wrong with these, so it's up to you.
I agree they don't really flow well, had trouble finding a good solution though. If I come up with something I'll change these patterns. 01:42:708 (1,2,3,4,5,1) - I don't think this plays really well. Of course it's normal to emphasis the first note of the next combo, the music goes that way too, but maybe use gradually increasing jump distance or something like that instead of surprise-double-distance-jump
Reduced that jump by quite a lot.01:50:283 (12) - This lonely note looks like it's jumping outta the stream lol, put it back x)
Fixed.02:18:258 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,1) - Nothing really wrong here, but the somewhat slow slider comes as surprise first times you play this, maybe lessen the spacing gradually little during the stream to make it more clear?
Nice idea, fixed!.02:29:658 (4,5,6) - Give little spacing to these little guys to lead it forward?
It plays fine imo.04:39:783 (4,6) - These aren't timed correctly, though that part isn't timingly really accurate part to map anyways; 4 should be ~1/4 later (also move it closer to 5 than 3 as it's closer to it in timing and in like patterns of two slow triplets in the music with it; notes 4,5 and 6 at the moment) and 6 ~1/8 earlier; also it can't be mapped with that slider alone as the distance in time from note 1 to note 2 is slightly longer than from note 2 to note 3 in the song. I doubt this will make it perfect, I don't think I can give you a timing that will, but atleast they should be more accurate than the current one?
Wow, this part is really weird to time. I changed it and I think I got a decent timing without using the 1/8, but not sure if it's the best.04:58:458 (3,4,5,6) - Nothing wrong here, but you could make these something more interesting, I mean 2 like that is no problem for me but 4 stacked like that in that situation and part of the song, actually couple of times, leaves room for more imaginative patterns imo; I mean it's in the solo right?
Made it more interesting.06:23:058 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - Something like earlier comments here too, it's chorus and like closed to the climax and this pattern here like stops the flow as the center of it doesn't really move anywhere. Nothing wrong in the pattern itself imo, except that the later 4 jumps are kinda big, yeah it's chorus and stuff but [b]this[/] part itself isn't very intense
Toned it down, but I think the jumps flow okay as it's kind of a transition into the last part of the chorus whereas the music is still fairly intense.06:43:608 (1) - In the end of this spinner there are 2 beats with 1/4 distance in the music, if you want you could end the spinner with the first and add circle to the other? Seriously, not necessary lol, and would probably play worse than current one anyways.
Just the spinner plays better I think.06:52:608 (1) - Make the ending hitsound of this one little softer or quieter or whatever, as long as it doesn't stand out as much as it does now. Nothing big tho.
Fixed.Many of things I mentioned here are repeated as the music repeats the same parts, so if you decide to change something remember to change other similar parts too or it will probably end up looking weirder x) Also almost all of these are just my opinions so you decide what to do
