1. If you plan on making this a Extra-ish marathon, the approach rate should be 9.2-9.5 (for this song 9.4 ish is recommendable) to make the players have easier time reading the notes.
2. Add 1700 to AudioLeadIn, you can do this by going into files > open .osu in notepad.
3. Right now, the difficulty spread isn't the recommendable one. You've mapped 4:50 mins, but actually the min. amount of mins for approval is 5 mins. This may cause a unrank. Even the spinner at 04:30:890 (1) - is way too long, this strains players' arms. Try to reduce the spinner's length a lot, and you should make a full spread, consisting of Easy > Extra.
4. Remove 東方Project Alice Maestra Flow My Tears the Said Demetori Lotus, since it is included in the title, source, and etc. already, and remove Bullet Hell, since you are not going to find another bullet hell game in a rhythm game. Remove Japanese since it is going to be included in the beatmap information page after being ranked, and remove Sand Story, because I don't see any relevance with the song itself.

1. Here are general comments, the problems are almost repeating throughout the map.
2. 00:00:332 (1) - Having so much repeats gets boring really quick. Use more varieties of sliders, or just place a spinner.
3. 00:10:863 (2,4) - Honestly, these kind of circles should be stacked. Right now it isn't perfectly stacked.
4. 00:10:544 (1,3,5) - They are having the same pitch, but their distances are all different. This doesn't play out well, as you should make jumps according to the strength of the song. Make them all 1.7x, that will feel much better to play it out.
5. 00:30:810 (1) - Really? SV of 0.1x? Actually you don't even need to use a long slider for the electric guitar, you are skipping those important drums that you were following. Such as 00:32:725 - 00:32:805 - 00:32:885 - you are missing out triplet, which is totally a good idea for a Extra.
6. 00:34:800 (1,3) - [b]Overlap like this isn't good even for Extras. (3) should be completely stacked under (1), this will increase the readability of the note.
7. 00:43:177 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - The stream's shape doesn't look good. The stream's curve can be more natural if you used a slider, then use the option "Convert slider to stream" under compose menu. Or you can try this :
   
   
   And add a NC at 01:03:204 (5) - , since you are changing the distance of the stream.
8. 00:46:209 (10) - Remove this note. There is no instrument/beat here that justifies the double.
9. 00:51:555 (3,4) - Avoid even the slightest of overlaps even in Extras.
10. 00:53:151 (3) - SV changes should be notified to the players by placing NCs.
11. 01:04:161 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This pattern plays out really weird, because there is no definite shape to this whole pattern. I mean, I can see that every combo progresses in a different direction, but some sliders like 01:05:757 (2) - this breaks the momentum.
12. 01:09:268 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) - If you want to make this pattern, make these notes go in a straight line. Right now, around at the middle, it trails off to the left.
13. 01:13:895 (2,1) - But you did a great job in this pattern
14. 01:15:491 (6) - This slider and the note onwards until 01:16:608 - , doesn't need a reduce of SV, since the music doesn't suggest anything on that. I know the song is bit softer here, but that is not a good idea. You can actually map this part with more jumps instead of SV changes.
15. 01:26:661 (5,6,1) - This looks bit messy, not sure if players can read this... Instead try to make this a stream.
16. 01:39:587 (4) - I don't recommend you to use this kind of unclear sliders, I heard from a BN that there was a disqualification due to that.
17. 01:43:576 (2,3,1) - If you really want to make the stream start here, stack these notes on top of each other, which will emphasize the drum roll a lot more better.
18. 02:00:012 (5,6,7) - Something like above, but this does look really messy in play mode. Either make (6) and (7) go under (5) completely, or do this :
    
    
19. 02:00:491 (1,2,3) - This kind of patterns can significantly improve if you make the 2 sliders, (1) and (3), parallel to each other.
20. 02:23:470 (2) - Don't make the tornado pattern stop here, this should be following the pattern that you were following for all previous notes.
21. Well I can't say much about Extras, but just keep in mind that normal (small jumps which emphasizes small things) spacings should follow the flow, and try to avoid tiny overlaps which may bring the map's quality down.
22. 04:30:890 (1) - Just saying because it is just one spinner, but this spinner is way too long. This is possibly (most likely) is a unrankable issue. Instead, this spinner can end 04:42:619 - here, where the instrument (not electric guitar) makes the final strong sound.

Hello~ M4M as requested in my queue~
Modding the first 3 mins, as you modded 2 of the difficulties of my TV size map.

1. Unrankable issues
2. My opinion which I highly recommend changing it
3. Just small suggestions/nazi

[General]

1. If you plan on making this a Extra-ish marathon, the approach rate should be 9.2-9.5 (for this song 9.4 ish is recommendable) to make the players have easier time reading the notes. Changed to AR 9.2
2. Add 1700 to AudioLeadIn, you can do this by going into files > open .osu in notepad. Will do this when I get home (on vacation).
3. Right now, the difficulty spread isn't the recommendable one. You've mapped 4:50 mins, but actually the min. amount of mins for approval is 5 mins. This may cause a unrank. Even the spinner at 04:30:890 (1) - is way too long, this strains players' arms. Try to reduce the spinner's length a lot, and you should make a full spread, consisting of Easy > Extra. Will try to lengthen the song by 10-20 seconds in audacity or something. lol fuck that just gonna get some gds and make some diffs myself. I'll wait for more complaints about the spinner.
4. Remove 東方Project Alice Maestra Flow My Tears the Said Demetori Lotus, since it is included in the title, source, and etc. already, and remove Bullet Hell, since you are not going to find another bullet hell game in a rhythm game. Remove Japanese since it is going to be included in the beatmap information page after being ranked, and remove Sand Story, because I don't see any relevance with the song itself. Done! Keeping Sand Story since it applies to the level song demetori based this off of in Touhou (at least I think; will double check).

1. Here are general comments, the problems are almost repeating throughout the map.
2. 00:00:332 (1) - Having so much repeats gets boring really quick. Use more varieties of sliders, or just place a spinner. Spinner initiated.
3. 00:10:863 (2,4) - Honestly, these kind of circles should be stacked. Right now it isn't perfectly stacked. Fixed.
4. 00:10:544 (1,3,5) - They are having the same pitch, but their distances are all different. This doesn't play out well, as you should make jumps according to the strength of the song. Make them all 1.7x, that will feel much better to play it out. Fixed.
5. 00:30:810 (1) - Really? SV of 0.1x? Actually you don't even need to use a long slider for the electric guitar, you are skipping those important drums that you were following. Such as 00:32:725 - 00:32:805 - 00:32:885 - you are missing out triplet, which is totally a good idea for a Extra. Will keep in until another person points it out. I like your idea and will use it if slider is taken out.
6. 00:34:800 (1,3) - [b]Overlap like this isn't good even for Extras. (3) should be completely stacked under (1), this will increase the readability of the note. Fixed.
7. 00:43:177 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - The stream's shape doesn't look good. The stream's curve can be more natural if you used a slider, then use the option "Convert slider to stream" under compose menu. Or you can try this : Fixed using the convert slider to stream option.
   
   
   And add a NC at 01:03:204 (5) - , since you are changing the distance of the stream. Done.
8. 00:46:209 (10) - Remove this note. There is no instrument/beat here that justifies the double. Done.
9. 00:51:555 (3,4) - Avoid even the slightest of overlaps even in Extras. Carefully replaced.
10. 00:53:151 (3) - SV changes should be notified to the players by placing NCs. Done.
11. 01:04:161 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - This pattern plays out really weird, because there is no definite shape to this whole pattern. I mean, I can see that every combo progresses in a different direction, but some sliders like 01:05:757 (2) - this breaks the momentum. Fixed so the slider is going in the same direction.
12. 01:09:268 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) - If you want to make this pattern, make these notes go in a straight line. Right now, around at the middle, it trails off to the left. Fixed the drunken notes.
13. 01:13:895 (2,1) - But you did a great job in this pattern :D
14. 01:15:491 (6) - This slider and the note onwards until 01:16:608 - , doesn't need a reduce of SV, since the music doesn't suggest anything on that. I know the song is bit softer here, but that is not a good idea. You can actually map this part with more jumps instead of SV changes. Fixed with new jumps.
15. 01:26:661 (5,6,1) - This looks bit messy, not sure if players can read this... Instead try to make this a stream. Keeping it.
16. 01:39:587 (4) - I don't recommend you to use this kind of unclear sliders, I heard from a BN that there was a disqualification due to that. Mean BNs D: Fixed.
17. 01:43:576 (2,3,1) - If you really want to make the stream start here, stack these notes on top of each other, which will emphasize the drum roll a lot more better. Done.
18. 02:00:012 (5,6,7) - Something like above, but this does look really messy in play mode. Either make (6) and (7) go under (5) completely, or do this : Moved them a little more towards the next note.
    
    
19. 02:00:491 (1,2,3) - This kind of patterns can significantly improve if you make the 2 sliders, (1) and (3), parallel to each other. Fixed.
20. 02:23:470 (2) - Don't make the tornado pattern stop here, this should be following the pattern that you were following for all previous notes. Done.
21. Well I can't say much about Extras, but just keep in mind that normal (small jumps which emphasizes small things) spacings should follow the flow, and try to avoid tiny overlaps which may bring the map's quality down.
22. 04:30:890 (1) - Just saying because it is just one spinner, but this spinner is way too long. This is possibly (most likely) is a unrankable issue. Instead, this spinner can end 04:42:619 - here, where the instrument (not electric guitar) makes the final strong sound. Stops when the guitar stops. Will keep this in as many other beatmaps use long spinners.

That is all from me. You will need to do some work on this map for it to be ranked.
GL!

Greetings from #modreqs!

My mod

00:00:332 (1) - This spinner is a little long, you should split it in half -> shrink to 00:05:438 Done.
00:20:757 (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) - Noticed rough flow here I think it feels fine and compliments the next combo. No change.
00:30:810 (1) - Replace this with a spinner Done. RIP SV 0.10
01:09:268 ~ 01:12:938 - May be me, but I think the tons of new combos could be a little disorienting I think it's fine. Would like bad if more combos come into play.
01:19:720 (2) (3) (4) - Feels REALLY jumpy, id remove (2) and (3) then remap Feels fine to me; follows the general spacing of similar parts. No change.
01:34:321 (4) (5) (6) - Occur rather fast, id remap, or move them closer to one another ^
02:20:757 ~ 02:24:427 - Again, amount of combos can be a little disorienting I think it's fine. Would like bad if more combos come into play.
02:31:209 (2) (3) (4) - Like 01:19:720, the jump to (4) is really quick and sudden Feels fine.
02:34:002 (4) (5) (6) (7) - Noticeably rough flow Changed.
02:56:183 (7) (8) (1) - Jump from eachother feels really sudden and awkward Changed
04:08:310 (1) - Lots of new combos, may be disorienting Removed the new combos at the stream.
04:30:890 (1) - That is one LONG spinner! I'd end it at 04:36:076 Pushed back by 2 seconds to where the guitar stops.

Sorry if it was small, I think you did really good with this map. Hope I helped!

Great first Extra mod

The 'other' map you are talking about right now is a pretty old ranked map (ranked at 2012), which at that time, the ranking criteria is significantly different then what it is now. You may want to check with some other BNs and QATs, not sure about the long spinner :/

Hello, just knowing you. I'm doing your easy GD. It will be ready in this week Ah, and also, don't put a long spinner to the final in Lotus D: ok
