- Looks like you forgot to uncheck Letterbox and Widescreen support mr. lepi
- Everything else looks fine

I apologize in advance but I must bring in the almighty nerfhammer to lower difficulties.
I will state first, however, that the map
is not bad (how in the world would it anyway?), but it seems that you don't recognize lower difficulties as "first steps" for newer players and just see them rather as "less dense" difficulties (this is just my point of view and I might as well be completely mistaken). I will give you credit for other difficulties as they are borderline perfect, but I must state my disagreement with lower ones in terms of density, main snap and breaks.
With that said, let's begin.
As I can see, your main snap has been "longer 2/1 patterns with some 1/1", and thus you should have a
really big amount of 4/1 breaks to compensate for this. What's the problem here? I can barely see any 4/1 breaks whatsoever in the map!
For example:
- 00:07:451 - 00:09:883 - Here you use 2 1/1 patterns in a row, which would be completely fine if you provided 4/1 break before or after it. You could delete 00:09:478 (13) - to provide an appropiate break even if it's not a 4/1 one
- 00:12:721 (17) - this should be removed as well so you can provide a successful 4/1 break here
- 00:13:937 - 00:22:856 - This part, you use really long 1/1 patterns without any breaks (and it's not even kiai time!), which makes the difficulty choking for new players. Consider removing notes and shortening the patterns, as well as providing more breaks after them.
- 00:44:748 - You could even add a note here, since 4/1 breaks are provided successfully
- 00:49:613 - 00:52:856 - I must state my disagreement with this arrangement. First of all, 1/2 is never a really good idea in Kantan. Second, the previous and following 1/1 patterns is too long and has no breaks whatsoever. My suggestion is to completely erase the 1/2 and remove some notes to shorten the 1/1 patterns while providing 4/1 breaks right before or after them.
- 00:55:694 (6) - In my opinion this could be removed to provide an appropiate break
- 00:59:343 - 01:08:262 - I'm gonna say the exact same. You should delete some notes to provide breaks and avoid newer players choking on these patterns. For example, you could remove 01:01:370 (5,11,4,6) -
- 01:12:316 - 01:18:802 - Even though this is a kiai, it seems like (in my opinion) it is a bit overdone. Consider removing the 1/2 as it is not recommended at all in Kantan and try to shorten the patterns a bit
- The second kiai is perfect! It provides the necessary amount of breaks and it doesn't have excessively long patterns. Great job!
- 01:38:262 - 01:50:424 - Once again, these patterns are extremely long and provide no breaks. Consider shortening them and removing non-downbeat notes to compensate and provide enough breaks!
I don't usually go really picky on small things such as "change k" or that stuff unless it sounds bad, so I apologize. I mainly stick to rhythm/density issues.
I also discourage SV changes in Kantan and Futsuu since they can be confusing for players.By the way, HP3 is a bit too low for a Kantan, consider making it higher.
[
Futsuu]
Here we have the same problem than in Kantan. This looks like a Muzukashii to me, not like a Futsuu dear lepi
Using 1/2 as main snap in a Futsuu, when you used a 2/1 in the Kantan, is definetely not a good idea in my view. Also, we're having the same break issues than we had in Kantan. I think you should definetely consider changing your main snap to 1/1 instead, while having some 1/2s and providing enough 2/1 breaks (the same way I explained in Kantan). Let's get into specifics then:
- 00:00:965 - 00:23:262 - Yup, 23 seconds: not a single break. Extremely long patterns (that look like Muzukashii). I keep my suggestion about maintaining your main snap to 1/1, while adding some 1/2s and prodiving 2/1 breaks. Notes such as 00:01:979 (5,11,17,20,2,8,14) - can be deleted to provide more breaks.
- 00:13:937 - 00:23:262 - That's 6 extremely long patterns in a row without a single break! You should shorten the patterns and provide breaks
- 00:49:613 - 00:52:451 - Here, same problem. 2 long patterns without any break at all. Consider shortening it+providing breaks
- 00:59:343 - 01:08:667 - Once again, we are facing the same problem. Same suggestion than above.
- 01:22:046 (6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - This looks a bit too long as well, I'd delete some notes in between
- Second kiai is fine as it doesn't use long patterns
- 01:38:262 - 01:50:829 - I think you already know where I'm going with this right?
[
Muzukashii]
At this rate, longer 1/2 patterns are fine as long as you provide enough 1/1 breaks.
- 00:15:154 - 00:22:755 - Here you could delete the 1/2 at the beginning of each pattern to provide a break after the 1/4 doublets. Notes like 00:14:951 (6,14) - can be removed without altering the rhythm.
- 00:50:221 - 00:52:451 - Here you use multiple 1/4s but there is no 1/1 break, I suggest deleting some notes here.
- 00:58:532 (25,26,27,28,29) - I don't usually advice 5-patterns in Muzukashii, specially considering they're right next to other 1/4 patterns and it should have a break.
- 01:05:829 - 01:09:275 - Up until a bit before you kept rhythm/break consistency, but now you broke it by adding extra notes ><, consider removing some notes in between (breaks you know)
- I guess I'll pass the kiai, since it usually means increased difficulty.
- 01:24:478 (17,18,19,20,21) - Same suggestion than 00:58:532 (25,26,27,28,29) -
- 01:38:262 - 01:51:235 - Same suggestion than in [ 00:15:154 - 00:22:755 - ]
The map is good but needs more rest moments
[
0920's Oni]
- 00:05:019 (23) - Maybe k to contrast the pitch change?
- 00:11:505 (61) - ^
- 00:12:519 - I think adding a d here would keep the flow better
- 00:18:397 (102) - Maybe k to variate from 00:15:154 (82) - ?
- 00:52:451 (266) - Wouldn't the stream sound better as ddkdkkd?
- 01:07:248 (358) - I think it would have better flow if you made a stream here. Like this one:
. I know there is a finisher, but it shouldn't be a trouble to hit it due to the low-ish BPM. - 01:34:309 - You can extend the stream by adding a d here
Rest looks fine to me. Can't say about spread since this has been mapped by different mappers, so yeah.
[
Oni]
Since you have already an Oni, consider renaming this to Inner Oni, as it doesn't feel like an Oni (also, would break spread since it the gap between it and Muzukashii is way too high)
- 00:13:329 (35,38) - Don't you think these 2 sound rather like k?
- 00:50:221 (32,33,34,35) - I think it sounds rather as (dkkk)kkkd
- 00:57:721 (26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43) - I think all dons sound a bit dull. Try alternating with k's some notes
- 01:11:708 (40,43) - Same suggestion than in 00:13:329 (35,38) -
- 01:37:654 (46,49) - ^
- Maybe even go a bit higher OD to avoid choking on streams? :3
Not much more to add. As expected your high difficulties are borderline perfect
