If you ever decide to rank anything
I'm glad I am able to something for you anyways
[1]
Displayed some sort of snap recognition here and there, didn’t really dig the omission of snaps at the front. Some snaps I’ve noticed are wrong so please do be careful next time, I didn’t really bother much about them as they don’t really affect the gameplay much
Showed that you can use make use of all types of sampleset’s hitsound
Hitsound is kinda too soft, might want to raise it slightly
HP/OD looks fine for me
Some LN patterns were definitely interesting to play really liked some inverses/shields here and there
Hitsound was pretty neat too
00:14:806 - Focusing an instrument on one hand was a good idea, though I felt that its “enjoyability” falls short as you omitted some snaps that were present in the music, hence I didn’t really feel the map was very well integrated with the music.
Somewhat suggesting to add more hammers/SVs so as to spice up the gameplay here:
Hammers could’ve been good to create a larger impact on sound effects like cymbals. For example, 00:44:113 (44113|5,44113|4,44229|2) – could’ve been hammered in some way to create a build up here towards the cymbal here, making the impact on the chord following it stronger
SVs can be used to “fill up” gaps in the music so as to make the map a more wholesome experience. One scenario could be the intro here, 00:03:729 – you could’ve utilized the gap here to throw in some spicy SVs (mmmm), though I would strongly encourage to omit the notes at the front here 00:00:037 – and add similar SVs too so as to keep it more consistent.
Well, I think I’ve said it 100 times already but snaps, try to not omit them here
00:10:421 (10421|4,10652|5,10883|6) – LNs like these sort of “underemphasize” the sound effects here when I play it, would’ve been better if they were chords
Similar to what I’ve said on Creativity, some sound could’ve been emphasized more if you had added hammers/SVs into it
I kinda get what you’re mapping with at the end, ¼ s to the hats but honestly, I really don’t think the players would hear the hats that clearly through the layering of the instruments here. Would’ve been better if you had did a constant ¼ throughout or a more obvious ¼ patterning usage at the ending
01:35:575 (95575|2,95575|0,95690|2,95690|0,95806|2,95806|0,95921|2,95921|0,96037|4,96037|6,96152|4,96152|6,96267|4,96267|6,96383|4,96383|6) –Think that this is slightly overkill on difficulty, would’ve been better if you did a maximum of 2 jacks consecutively
Noticed that some pitch relevancy breaks here and there but in general it was rather well done
02:24:037 (144037|3,144960|3,145306|3,145652|3,145883|3) – oh fuck yes I love this
It was rather neat to play through though, I have to give you that
Alright, first of all, this really did a good impression for me as it was well hitsounded, nicely patterned and some LN patterns are pretty interesting to play with
One thing that I couldn’t really ignore is that the fact that you’ve omitted too many snaps in the intro, what I feel that’s special to the song is that it has a variety of snaps to break the player out of the monotonous ¼ momentum all throughout any other song that they could’ve chosen, I really think that you could’ve made use of all these non ¼ or ½ snaps in the beginning, slightly disappointed due to that.

LN patterns here I felt were rather creative and at the same time fitting to the difficulty and music which is pretty hard to pull off
01:41:113 (101113|0,101344|1,101575|2,101921|3,102267|4,102306|5,102344|6) – oh yea this is pretty sexy mm
I like some of the selective layering here and there but… some left out are kind of weird for me, probably personally preference but I’ll discuss more about that in the next section
02:47:806 (167806|0,167921|1,168267|6,168383|5,168729|0,168844|1) – felt that you could’ve emphasized these synths better, as of now, it blends in into the following notes, somewhat diluting the feeling that players get from these doubles.
02:50:806 (170806|0,171267|0,171498|0) – Some patterns I don’t really get 02:36:037 (156037|4,156498|4,156729|4) – Not sure what the initial LN is for
00:15:613 (15613|1,15844|4,16075|5) – It’s a rather interesting rhythm here but I feel that it would be more suitable for the music if those 2 gaps in between the 1/4s are filled, I don’t really hear anything very unique in the music to justify this rhythm
00:20:113 – Felt like a missing note here, it’s a really weird omission for a note anyways
00:27:729 (27729|4,27729|0,27960|5,27960|1,28190|2,28190|6) – the omission of ¼ s here is rather weird since you are still mapping for the bass guitar previously and afterwards
00:36:729 (36729|4,36844|2,36960|3) – Felt that you could’ve used a hammer to emphasize this chord on the last note highlighted
00:40:998 – Probably a missing note here
00:51:498 (51498|4,51613|3,51729|2) – Same comment as the one prior to the previous
00:29:575 – Felt that this section is rather bland, even if you’re mapping the synths, the note rhythms heavily overlap with the drum loop, which makes it seem like you’re just mapping the drum loop anyways. Would recommend to throw in some LNs to make this less bland
00:59:575 (59575|5,60729|4) – I like the selective mapping of the LNs here
01:09:037 (69037|0) – I think it’d be more fitting if this ended ½ earlier
01:32:344 (92344|4,92575|1,92806|2) – could’ve gone for the ¼ hat swing rhythm but this is fine anyways
02:22:652 (142652|0,142767|1,142883|2,142998|3,143113|4) – are the guitar and the drums here merged together? I think it’s better if they are separated
03:00:037 (180037|5,180037|1,180152|3,180267|0,180267|2,180383|4,180498|3,180498|1,180498|6) – this pattern doesn’t really give the feeling that is suitable for the music, felt more like a filler pattern instead.
First impression of this is that it’s a rather solid Hard diff for players, the difficulty in general here was rather fitting and offered a nice variety of LN/note patterns for those at this difficulty level
However I feel that this can be improved in certain ways mentioned in the above 3 sections
[3]
00:29:575 – I like the idea of separating instruments into 2 different hands but try to avoid bias like 00:34:306 (34306|3) – on the centre key
02:09:037 (129037|4,129152|0,129267|5,129383|1,129498|6,129613|2,129729|5,129844|1,129960|4,130075|0,130190|5,130306|1,130421|6,130537|2,130652|5,130767|1,130883|4,130998|0,131113|3) – Sexy
02:14:344 (134344|0,134575|4,134806|2,135037|3,135267|0,135267|6,135498|4,135729|2,135960|3,136190|4,136190|5) – Could’ve pulled of the guitar here better
02:24:960 - Similarly
00:16:421 (16421|3) – Felt that you could’ve made this a single note and added a LN on 00:16:652 - , feels better for me
00:17:460 (17460|6) – Same here, add a LN on 00:17:690 –
00:44:229 – Suggesting a note on 5
00:53:575 (53575|3) – Same as the comment for biasness but, this should be fine as it is not a weird ¼ rhythm on the left hand
00:58:998 – Suggesting a note on 4
02:34:998 (154998|4,154998|6,155113|5) – Transition may be a tad bit awkward, revise this
Judge’s Impression: 6
This is pretty standard map, really think that some patterns should be revised more for the suitability for the low level players. Some sounds are omitted that I felt could be mapped in
[4]
00:09:267 (9267|0,9613|1,9960|2,10421|6,10652|5,10883|4,12498|3) – Really like how this pattern turned out
00:14:806 – A pretty unique take to this section as you’ve mapped the distorted uhh sound thing..? idk what you call it
01:26:575 – I’m really digging everything from the intro to this point, suggesting to add another LN on this for the other synth
00:03:037 (3037|2,3383|3) – Felt that if these notes were delayed by ¼, it would feel better as it is mapped to the stronger sound
02:06:037 – Man, up to this section, I really dig the selection of instrument to map, I feel that it’s better to map to the guitar at this point. Feel that it’s better to go for the more prominent sounds for beginner diffs.
Judge’s Impression: 8
This is surprisingly good… mostly. I didn’t like how you chose the background synth over the guitar solo though
