---------------
Okay! First beatmap. After several weeks of work and testing, I hope it's up to standard. All four difficulties are made by me.

This isn't the full version of the song. There is a small cut to keep it more energetic and short. The full version of the song is here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/75190

I have a background, and it works, but it's not the best. If someone can find another one that isn't any art or photo theft, or recommend ideas for a new one, I'll gladly take that into consideration!

Enjoy, and thanks for trying my map.

2/8/12:
-Moved some notes on Hard so that they're properly on the grid/play area

2/9/12:
-Ending to easy added.
-Fixed some spacing issues.
-Map is currently finished! Might need more modding, though.
2/16/12

Stared 'cause I like it~ |3

Anyway, as for modding;

[Easy]
01:45:471 - (4) I don't really know WHEN to click it since it feels rather off.
01:48:380 - (4) ^
01:51:289 - (4) ^
01:55:289 - (3) ^
01:55:653 - (4) ^
01:58:198 - (3) ^
01:58:562 - (4) ^
02:01:107 - (3) ^
02:01:471 - (4) ^

[Normal]
01:58:198 - (6) It feels off like the one in Easy. xD
01:58:562 - (7) ^
02:01:107 - (10) ^
02:01:471 - (11) ^

[Hard]
00:44:925 - Add a note here?
02:18:198 - I think you should cut the Kiai time from here. xD

[Insane]
02:18:198 - Cut the Kiai time from here as well? xD

Starred!

I thought the beatmap was excellent for a first map! Buck, keep on making them |D

unsnapped?

use grid level 3 + distance spacing to resnap all notes

no kd for this =d

I think it's barely enough to follow the music, but the spacing is not really constant...
e.g. insane 0:38:699 ->1.0x 0:18:198 (2,3) ->1.35x, (3,4) -> 1.48x
you'll need a unique spacing throughout the diff (suing the same spacing multiple in most of the time)

hi

(>'(oo)')> my mod <('(oo)'<)


Insane

00:23:653 (1,2) - make them farther apart
00:35:653 (7,8,9) - make them even
00:45:107 (4,5) - spacing
01:05:289 (7,1) - spacing
01:08:016 (3,4) - spacing or 4 new combo
01:09:471 (6,7) - spacing or 7 new combo
01:10:925 (9,10) - spacing or 9 new combo
01:20:016 (7) - new combo
01:22:925 (7) - ^
01:54:380 (10,11) - reverse them?
01:57:835 (12) - new combo
02:18:198 - end kiai mode here if the map is finish


Hard

Approach Rate +1 or +2

00:10:925 (6,1,2,3,4) - spacing
00:13:107 (5) - new combo
00:40:380 (4,5,6) - spacing
00:43:653 (1,2) - spacing
01:46:198 (1,2,3) - make them farther apart
01:54:380 (5,6) - stack them
02:18:198 - end kiai mode


Normal

oh I think the patterns are good but you'd better have a constant distance between circles in this diff. Check AIMod and resnap them


Easy

same problem as that in Normal

00:17:835 (1,2,3,4) - make them even
01:49:653 (2,3) - spacing


that's all

The Wonderful Easy Difficulty
01:08:744 (5) New combo?
01:14:562 (5) New combo?
The Wonderful Hard Difficulty
01:05:741 (1) Should be a little further away.

But I do think it deserves a star!

ok rechecks

spacing problems are still easily observed, try to check with the AI mod

no kd for this too =d

Kupo!

It'd better if you resize your BG.
The maximum allowed is 1024 x 768

[Easy]
00:05:834 (1) - Finish?
00:08:744 (1) - ^
00:17:471 (4) - Add a note here,it'll be easier to follow next rhytm with it.
00:26:198 ~ Consider adding some hitsounds at this part.Add clap to each (2)-nd and (4)-th note and it will be fine enough.
00:42:562 (2,3,1) - Distance should be equal,but (3)-(1) are much closer,fix it.
01:06:925 (6) - Start new combo from here?
01:09:835 (4) - Make it centered?

[Normal]
00:08:471 (2) - 1/4 notes,especially using like that..hm..not really good for Normal.
01:19:653 (4,5) - Too far,reduce distance.

[Hard]
Sometimes spacing feels kinda random,but fairly it's not much harder from Normal and Easy,it's all the same patterns.

[Insane]
00:14:562 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) - That's just pure random.
I'm not sure if it's acceptable.

Cute music,though,but still I think you need more work on it.
Good luck~

Hi~

General
resize your BG it must be 1024x768 or 800x600

Hard
00:16:016 (5) - spacing
00:44:925 and 00:46:380 - add cirkle (it will be better)
02:06:562 - 02:18:198 - i don't think that you need that part, it is not very good and other diffs ends earlier

Insane
00:15:653 (4,5) - bad spacing
00:29:107 (9) - new combo
01:03:744 (7) - 1 grid up
02:06:562 - 02:18:198 - same proplem like in hard and...02:15:289 (8) - о_О have long not seen such sliders, i think you need to remove it

Star

only suggestions

~Easy~

could raise the circle size

00:27:289 : clap
00:28:744 : ^
00:30:198 : ^
00:31:653 : ^

cute

normal and hard

more simetric and use the sliders curves

insane is not finished.

ahhh nvm i dont seen that this map is in graveyard

Hey!!
From my mod queue

I really think you should map this song to the end (when it fades out, and use a spinner on the fade out).
Imo it seems to end at a random point at the moment. Its only an extra 15-20 seconds of mapping needed.

I've noticed alot of "linear" gameplay. This is common for new mappers - Edit: actually, most of this only occurs on easy.
I think you should check out this forum for some ideas that you can use to make your map more "fun" to play

Easy
Circle size is currently 5.
For an easy I would highly recommend (seriously do it ._.) a minimum circle size of 4, with 3 being prefered. Circle size 5 and higher are typically only found on insane's, or really old maps.

01:02:925 (4) - Rearrange this note/combo so that (4) doesn't overlap with (5), it looks "not good"
01:03:653 (x) - Add a note here.
01:28:744 (1,2,3,4,5) - As per above (linear) you could make something like this here:



02:03:653 (3) - This is nice.

The rythm and timeline of notes are pretty good, just need to work on the appearance/note placement

Normal
00:07:289 (5) - NC (New combo)
00:08:380 (1) - RNC (Remove new combo)
00:08:744 (1) - NC

00:14:925 (2) - I think that
00:15:653 (4) - All these times
00:16:380 (6) - Should have a note
00:17:107 (8) - To sound better

00:20:380 (8) - NC
00:25:289 (1) - Make this arc more symmetrical such as in the box. (Notice your top line is not fully horizontal)

00:32:016 (1) - Add a note here with a clap and a new combo.
00:32:380 (1) - Remove the combo.
00:40:744 (5) - NC
01:24:380 (1,3) - Change the shape of these. They look very odd at the moment ._. (Non-pointy curves should work)
01:44:289 (4) - Move to 01:44:380.
01:54:562 (1) - RNC.
01:54:925 (1) - NC.
01:55:289 (2) - Move to 01:54:925
01:55:653 (2) - Move to 01:55:471
01:56:016 (x) - Add a note here
=> You will now have to rearrange/position 01:54:925 (1,2,3).

01:57:835 (1) - Add a note here with new combo.
01:58:198 (2) - Move to 01:58:380.
01:58:562 (3) - Move to 01:58:925.
=>Can you see this pattern? Continue with it for sounds like this.
Eg: 2 minutes:
I wont mention changes for this pattern/rythm anymore, it's up to you

This is alot better than easy in my opinion. (This one ignores the comment I mentioned on easy being "linear")

Hard
Combos need some work. I'll point out a few, but let others better at combo placement help you out.

00:16:016 (5) - NC
00:17:471 (5) - NC
00:17:835 (1) - RNC
00:18:925 (5) - You can use a NC here if you want to keep the same as before.
00:20:380 (1) - NC
00:46:562 (9) - NC
01:21:471 (7) - NC
01:41:835 (1) - I'm sure you can think of a more interesting shape to use here than a huge straight line.
Check out some posts here for some nice ideas

01:54:925 (1) - Add a note here with a new combo.
01:55:289 (2) - Move to 01:55:471.
01:55:653 (3) - Move to 01:56:016.
=> This is the same thing as in easy, fix all your rythms like this to be the same.
(such as here: 01:57:835) You should know what to do..
02:00:744 (1) - ^

02:08:016 (1) - You could move this down a little. In gameplay the approach circle, and the combo splash are both underneath the hp bar.

Once again, only diff that seems to be "linear" is easy. You should have a look at changing easy around a bit

Insane
00:06:107 (2,3) - Select both and press ctrl+r. There is no real reason for these to be inverted. Doesn't match the music o3o.
00:08:744 (12) - New combo.
This will need alot of combo modding in the future.

00:27:653 (6) - Move this from under (5)
00:27:926 (7) - Also move this a little from under (5)
00:30:562 (6,7) - Move these from under (5) too
00:43:653 (1,5) - Work on the symmetry of these sliders.

00:46:199 (7,8,9,10,11) -
01:21:471 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - Consider making something more interesting with this combo, but fine as is.

01:54:925 (1) - It's this part again (yes from normal and hard) Add a note and a new combo here.
01:55:471 (2) - [b]Move to this time
01:56:016 (3) - Move to this time
=>Repeat where this rythm occurs.

Not too bad, just needs a bit of work.
Hopefully this mod is a good start.

Goodluck
