1. Firstly, I feel unsure where the soft-sliderwhistle2 and soft-sliderwhistle are being used. Would you mind providing some examples when you use those? Pretty beginner at this hitnormal + hitwhistle technique.
2. Slider borders must never overlap the slider-body so tightly due players might the confuse of the slider-path while playing it. Some of these aren't acceptable to my standard because beginner players are more used to play on linear motion that do not wiggle as these ones do: 01:58:281 (1) - 03:15:819 (1) - 04:36:127 (1) - 04:53:665 (1) - 06:18:588 (1) -
3. In the other hand, the tags seems pretty misleading to the actual song. I've researched the song and I just found three relevant tags: <Version 0>, 新曲 and Shinkyoku. Could you tell me what Reflect Beat means in this context? Perhaps it would make sense with the way you named the difficulty; but, does it actually fit with the song/theme/artist fields? The same goes to New Song and the parenthesis among (新曲) and (Shinkyoku).
4. Is the HP 4 intentional? The way I see it, it feels rather low compared with the density of the objects managed on the overall difficulty. How about if we increase it to 5 correspondingly to the drain Normal are supposed to use?
5. The opposite issue occurs with the AR. Isn't it a bit high according to how normal are supposed to be? I think we should think about how new players will perceive this difficulty with such as a high AR when the patterning in general. Why don't we lower it till 6 or 5.5 to improve the readability of the objects in the entire diff? I do believe you set it ith a purpose, but I suggest we focus on a lower AR for a better approaching of the objects.

1. 00:17:897 (1) - This spinner plays good but it is somehow misleading the actual sound which started here 00:17:897 - I''m not sure it's a good idea to end it here 00:19:513 - when the wave sound goes until here 00:20:897 - . What about if we end it here 00:20:436 - to cover half part of it and avoid creating awkward hitsound emphasis? Let me know what you think!
2. 00:56:435 (1) - I'd look like if I were nitpicking the map but this slider-shape could look visually better. What if you move the last grey node to 156|280 to fix this?
3. I really feel that the default soft-sliderslide over the section which the song gets quieter is somewhat noisy and doesn't fit well in the segment. I think adding an empty soft-sliderslide would match nicely among the usage of sliders over this part.
4. 01:52:051 (2) - Rhythmically talking, this slider snapped to 2/1 doesn't highlight properly the beats that the song offers in this section. Hence, it ends creating a flat and addled rhythm. What about splitting the slider up into a slider and a note to cover smoothly the beats here? I do believe this would emphasize better the pattern creating a more comfortable rhythm to play.
5. There's currently a break between these two sections 02:00:127 - 02:07:512 - which creates an awkward drain for players. The same happens here 04:37:973 - 04:45:357 - The way I see things, they feel forced and no-intuitive due the breaks don't fit when the song actually supports mapping those parts. whether I think it's good to have breaks, these ones feel rather random. What do you think?
6. 04:01:511 (3) - 04:04:280 (2) - I'm not sure that is a good idea to use those circles when you were following the piano waves at the beginning. Therefore, I think it would be way better if you removed them to simply the rhythm and keep consistency with the patterning built just before.
7. 04:05:665 (1,2,3,4,5) - I'm sorry but I can't agree with the pattern you chose to map here. This patterning is off in terms on emphasis and rhythm due it's not following neither the piano tiles-sound nor the waves, hence it ends feeling a tedious to play despite it's mapped to 1/1 beats. What about if we try up this rhythm instead? In this way, piano is followed up until it comes to the timing change of the song and it might flow better with the overall hitsound usage. Try it!

8. 04:16:408 (1) - This is only a suggestion bur replacing this with a spinner would make a more epic pattern than the actual circle. The problem is that leaving it with just one circle, it misleads the instruments that comes up here that should have an emphasis due the acute sound it produces. Therefore, I do believe a spinner would definitely cover better this sound.
9. 05:08:434 (1) - vs 03:15:819 (1) - While I know both patterns represent different purposes in the section they belong, it would be way better if this slider 05:08:434 (1) - was extended to highlight better the drums here as well as you did with the other pattern. Or How about if it were like this?

10. 05:23:203 (1,2,3) - The blanket here could be better. /w\ Without messing the DS, you could make 05:23:203 (1) - more curve so the approach circle of the next objects cover nicely the sliderborder of this slider making a neater pattern for playing and watching. Consider doing the same here 03:30:589 (1,2,3) - 05:37:973 (1,2,3) -
11. Despite the kiai is copied and pasted on the second segment, there few differences that you should watch out. For example, let's compare 05:28:741 (1,2) - vs 03:36:127 (1,2) - . Both sections feel really similar but the vocals from both are not. In addition, if you where following vocals here 03:36:127 (1) - I think it would be nice if you do the same here 05:28:741 (1) - by reducing it till here 05:28:741 (1) - and place this slider 05:29:665 (2) - here 05:29:434 - to follow the respectively vocals-waves change. It should look like this:

Hi! Modding upon your request. This should've made two months ago but things didn't go quite according to plan.

Currently there are many issues that I'd like to discuss with you that really triggers me to rank this map. Let's start:

1. Firstly, I feel unsure where the soft-sliderwhistle2 and soft-sliderwhistle are being used. Would you mind providing some examples when you use those? Pretty beginner at this hitnormal + hitwhistle technique. Look at 00:56:435 (1) - for example. Soft addition, and both set 1 and 2 (for slidertickhitsounding)
2. Slider borders must never overlap the slider-body so tightly due players might the confuse of the slider-path while playing it. Some of these aren't acceptable to my standard because beginner players are more used to play on linear motion that do not wiggle as these ones do: 01:58:281 (1) - 03:15:819 (1) - 04:36:127 (1) - This one is no wiggle, it's a loop with a visible hole, so there are no problems in its readability04:53:665 (1) - I've talked about this with Loctav, and he said it is fine (someone said it wasn't, he said it was fine06:18:588 (1) -
3. In the other hand, the tags seems pretty misleading to the actual song. I've researched the song and I just found three relevant tags: <Version 0>, 新曲 and Shinkyoku. Could you tell me what Reflect Beat means in this context? Perhaps it would make sense with the way you named the difficulty; but, does it actually fit with the song/theme/artist fields? The same goes to New Song and the parenthesis among (新曲) and (Shinkyoku). refer to my previos post
4. Is the HP 4 intentional? The way I see it, it feels rather low compared with the density of the objects managed on the overall difficulty. How about if we increase it to 5 correspondingly to the drain Normal are supposed to use? Since there are breaks, I 've set it to 5
5. The opposite issue occurs with the AR. Isn't it a bit high according to how normal are supposed to be? I think we should think about how new players will perceive this difficulty with such as a high AR when the patterning in general. Why don't we lower it till 6 or 5.5 to improve the readability of the objects in the entire diff? I do believe you set it ith a purpose, but I suggest we focus on a lower AR for a better approaching of the objects.

That must be all that worries me to push this map. Hope they can be fixed in accordance to the standards to rank maps nowadays.

Nonetheless, I have some suggestions regarding rhythms and notes-placing which could improve the quality of the map from my own perspective as a modder. Let's see:

1. 00:17:897 (1) - This spinner plays good but it is somehow misleading the actual sound which started here 00:17:897 - I''m not sure it's a good idea to end it here 00:19:513 - when the wave sound goes until here 00:20:897 - . What about if we end it here 00:20:436 - to cover half part of it and avoid creating awkward hitsound emphasis? Let me know what you think! The wavesound starts at the downbeat the spinner ends on, and it ends on the next downbeat. I think it's better to have it in its current state, as it'll be some sort of gap (the wave)
2. 00:56:435 (1) - I'd look like if I were nitpicking the map but this slider-shape could look visually better. What if you move the last grey node to 156|280 to fix this?
3. I really feel that the default soft-sliderslide over the section which the song gets quieter is somewhat noisy and doesn't fit well in the segment. I think adding an empty soft-sliderslide would match nicely among the usage of sliders over this part. It's to simulate the sounds of the guitars
4. 01:52:051 (2) - Rhythmically talking, this slider snapped to 2/1 doesn't highlight properly the beats that the song offers in this section. Hence, it ends creating a flat and addled rhythm. What about splitting the slider up into a slider and a note to cover smoothly the beats here? I do believe this would emphasize better the pattern creating a more comfortable rhythm to play. It follows the strong violins here
5. There's currently a break between these two sections 02:00:127 - 02:07:512 - which creates an awkward drain for players. The same happens here 04:37:973 - 04:45:357 - The way I see things, they feel forced and no-intuitive due the breaks don't fit when the song actually supports mapping those parts. whether I think it's good to have breaks, these ones feel rather random. What do you think? I want to add a few breaks so the player can rest, as it's only a 2* map. Having a long segemt of over 2 minutes seems too harsh for me, so I think that these breaks work fine in that sense
6. 04:01:511 (3) - 04:04:280 (2) - I'm not sure that is a good idea to use those circles when you were following the piano waves at the beginning. Therefore, I think it would be way better if you removed them to simply the rhythm and keep consistency with the patterning built just before. You do know I'm following the violin in this whole part?
7. 04:05:665 (1,2,3,4,5) - I'm sorry but I can't agree with the pattern you chose to map here. This patterning is off in terms on emphasis and rhythm due it's not following neither the piano tiles-sound nor the waves, hence it ends feeling a tedious to play despite it's mapped to 1/1 beats. What about if we try up this rhythm instead? In this way, piano is followed up until it comes to the timing change of the song and it might flow better with the overall hitsound usage. Try it!

Sorry for the formatting and the ugly mod. Call me back once you've replied to the issues properly. I'm still afraid about some things which worries about this map and I hope they can be fixed respectively.

Holy ...

(looks like it should be ends at 05:29:204 - (+2ms)Oh shit, you're right

Anymore, these two files: soft-sliderwhistle.wav and soft-sliderwhistle2.wav are unused (because you only use S:C1 and S:C3 (...) hitsound timings, not S and S:C2
They are used, 00:56:435 (1) - for example. Soft slider-addition on both C1 and :2
Anyway, it's a good map, hope you get it back soon
Good luck

Rip the 2ms unsnap.

The unused hitsound file error was explained in my previous posts - p/5189968 - but there was definitely an SC:2 sampleset here before... Where did SC:3 come from, there are no sampleset 3 files present in the song folder orz. If there is a S:Cx, where there are no samples of number x, it just plays as S, nothing special

Should be an easy fix, so call me when you fixed the issues and we'll get it back.

actually looking through it again, there are a few small changes you could make:

00:24:590 (4,1) - Looks a little off, could curve around it a little tighter: http://puu.sh/pmxJu/2683f2fc67.jpg Such nazi, fixing tho
00:36:128 (1,2) - You could red tick this to curve perfectly into the slider ;w; This is just too nazi to fix (as in, I don'rt even see how it's off)
00:59:204 (2) - The end of this curves a little too far into (1): as seen here: http://puu.sh/pmxDq/bdc2fc1a74.jpg A slight adjustment to the left should fix itNot noticable during gameplay
03:03:820 (4,5) - You could rotate both of these slightly so that (5) curves into 03:04:743 (1) - would look sick Intended
03:57:357 (3,1) - Looks a little better like so: http://puu.sh/pmycU/a78e1a8270.jpg
04:35:204 (2) - A Finish hitsound on the start of this would be nice imo No need for this, nothing in the music makes this sound much more stronger than the rest
06:21:357 (1,1) - Very, VERY slight adjustment to the blanket to make it look a little nicer: http://puu.sh/pmyqH/446351a7f5.jpg

good luck!
