Information: Scores/Beatmap Listing
---------------
I've seen a couple of Final Fantasy beatmaps, but none from the Black Mages, so I decided this should be my first beatmap. (That, and I was actually able to get the BPM on this song )

Note to downloaders: Easy and Normal are only about half the song; "Kefka" is like Hard, and is the full length of the song.

I freaking love this song, luckly I know the original FF6 Battle Theme to play it right. Only one problem with this beatmap:

00:54:45 (2) - It goes around 3 times, I was thinking 2, caught me off guard.

Other than that it's GREAT, you only need to add more difficulties...

Oh, and the BPM and Offset is good, no need to change it.

I wasn't sure if that would be a problem or not. Fixed it, and it actually flows better now.

PERFECT! I'd bubble that.

Like you said, just get a Hard Difficulty going.

Alright, I've started "Kefka" difficulty, it should be up tomorrow.

Hard difficulty finished!

(Bumped for great justice)

Just awesomeness mate, just a few problem:

[Kefka]:
00:09:45 (1) - Seems a bit far from the last beat.
00:17:80 (2) - Personally I think it lasts a click too long.
00:22:98 (1-6) - Can you make them a bit tighter?

Fix'd, fix'd, and fix'd. Also, those notes (1-6) were off 1/8 of a beat. Fix'd that too.

Offset: 8,200

I don't see a difference, but I'll go with it. Threw some of my sliders off by 1/8 of a beat, gotta go back and fix those.

Oh really? If they're off you can go back to what they were.

And I'll try it out later.

Unless you want to add an Insane or Easy, I'd say this is rankable.

Probably should get a Beatmap Mod to double-check this.

I played it, and had my jaw drop.
THIS. WAS. EXCELLENT.
If I were a mod, I'd rank this right now, because this map OWNS. It's Rockin', and it's going to guitars! That passes my test.

ROMaster2: Thx for the help!

Agent BA8 Rookbie: Glad you like it!

I see hope for you in the future. Do more rockin' tracks like this, and you'll get along good!

I must say, I'm impressed considering how new you are to the community. It is near perfect, however I did catch a couple mistakes in Kefka:

02:25:56 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Move this set ahead a quarter beat. Make sure you have your Snap Divisor set to 1/4 when you do this.
02:27:77 (9) - Shortern this a quarter beat once the above has been done.
02:30:23 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Move this entire set ahead a quarter beat, as well.

That's it. Will bubble this once it's updated. /me stars for now.

Done done aaaand done. That third one didn't feel right at first when I was testing it... turns out it's just me.

Great Job! Seriously.

Hmm, I'm gonna be picky on those...

EDIT: Actually your offset was off, go back to 8200 (Unless you want to tell us why you did it)

Those are my thoughts, tell me if you think they feel in sync.

BTW, come on the IRC if you need any on-the-spot help, just press F8

That's because you snapped it an 1/8 too far ahead. Now that last section I mentioned should be moved back 1/8. ;x

And I disagree with the other two changes ROM has suggested. The other two sections are fine now.

EDIT: Noticed you had changed the offset. Make sure you change it back to 8200. ;x

Yeah, that feels much better. And 8200 is what it is right now.

Eh, as long as it's 8200 when you reupload it, it's all good. The most recent upload was set to 8227, for whatever reason.

I figured it out: for some reason, the "Kefka" version had two timing points. Deleted the other one, should be 8200 now.

Wow, this map is glitching when I'm trying it. Some of the Beats are invisible.

Might not be your problem though BluePaladin25, might be my Osu.

EDIT: All good now.

Kay, I'm happy with it.

/me bubbles

I'm just surprised nobody's commented on the "9999" sliders yet.

( ROMaster2 ) AH HA! I KNEW IT
( Saturos ) uh, ok, now i'm questioning what snap divisor you have set.
( Saturos ) guess i'll end my dargonforce run early.

( ROMaster2 ) from 02:25:56 to 02:35:74
( James ) and why you didnt finish the whole song on kefka?
( Saturos ) ok, what the hell.
( ROMaster2 ) Hey W- LuigiHann
( BluePaladin25 ) Alright I'm back. I could finish the song if you really want me to... I just thought that would be too long.
( Saturos ) they were snapped to 1/4 beats when he uplaoded it.
( ROMaster2 ) Ah, hey
( LuigiHann ) I like that it decreases by one letter each time
( LuigiHann ) means it's almost gone
( Saturos ) except for one section that was off by 1/8
( ROMaster2 ) I KNEW IT!
( ROMaster2 ) MHAHAHA!
( Saturos ) now after he uplaoded the second correction, they moved back.
( James ) and 02:17:57 - its better to place a note in here
( Saturos ) seriously, what the hell happened
( Saturos ) paladin
( Saturos ) what divisor do you have set
( Saturos ) please, for the love of all things, do not say 1/8
( Saturos ) because that's what would have messed it up on your reupload
( ROMaster2 ) DRUMS PLEASE
( Saturos ) it WAS snapped correctly, but now all the sections you snapped are off 1/8
( Saturos ) rom, shut the fuck up, seriously
( LuigiHann ) Yeah Rom.
( BluePaladin25 ) Yes, dramatic drumroll for me to admit I screwwed up
( LuigiHann ) >_>

PS: Finish the song on kefka.

Alright, set the entire thing back to 1/4th. James, I'll finish the song once I make sure there's nothing ELSE wrong with what I already have.

lol perfectionist?
I DONT WANTTO SPEND AN HOUR MODDING YOUR MAP.
so i leave those minor stuffs as is.

I'm no perfectionist, I just don't like adding on to something that has problems.

Well then, unless somebody points something out, I'll go finish this thing.

DONE AT LAST

And a well deserved rebubble. Sorry for the confusion and 1/8 divisor bug.

If I could get somebody to come in here and rank this, that'd be great. (hint hint)

Removing bubble for now till I look over the newly added Easy.

EDIT: 01:18:77 (1,2,3,4) - Move these forward 1/2 beat.
01:20:98 (0) - Make it end 1/2 beat earlier.

Fixed 'em!

Rebubblin'

*Approves*

This is really well done, I enjoyed it a lot.
Except that picture in the background scared the living crap out of me when I saw it.

Just FYI, that's Kefka. If you didn't know.

ROMaster2 wrote:

Yeah I figured. It's just scary looking, all I'm saying.

Hard:
57:87 - That slider (3) is set a half beat away, when it is a quarter. Move it closer to the slider before it (2), or just stack them.
That's all I got. Fix it and you're ranked.

For future ref's though, be careful using different distance snapping throughout an entire map. It can cause little mistakes such as this one, and can sometimes mislead people.

edit: After some IRC discussion, we decided my decision was a bit nazi. It is going to be hard and awkward to give those 2 sliders proper spacing. If it were me, I would make a stack of quarter notes and remove the first slider. Have hit circle - hit circle - slider, all on top of each other. That will most likely sound better and will solve the whole problem.

Fixed.

Can't seem to dl this map, nor update it. I'm guessing this is just a problem with switching servers and all of that. Hang tight, I will check/rank this asap

Thanks for the PM btw.

Good job on the fix.
RANKED.

This is great. However, I think it sounds much better if the speed is doubled. It gets more interesting and more similar to the original battle theme. So I think the double speed theme should be the normal one instead.

The original theme didn't have double BPM, although, it was a lot faster. I'm mapping it.
