hi
hope I could help, gl!
General
- most of the ARs feel a bit high on such a slow song, maybe sth like 3-4.5-7-8.5 could fit
- removing this: http://i.imgur.com/JdGPyJR.jpg from soft-hitclap3 makes it feel a bit more responsive, similar for hitclap4
also removing the a bit of the silence after some hitsounds could waste less space
=> http://puu.sh/o5Tu3/05bf7e6aa2.zip this should be fine
all of them are still above the minimum length of 100ms - 01:34:127 - volume and sampleset of the green and red timing points have to be the same, even though nobody could ever prove that it actually causes any weird stuff, it's unrankable (and easy to fix)
Kiai should be consistent throughout difficulties
normal/easy dont have that kiai reset
yes, it's only a guideline but still odd to not have it the same on all diffs you mapped
best solution would imo be putting kiai on 01:15:739 - for all diffs and then putting a timing point without kiai on 01:16:685 - so you only have 1/4 without kiai and kep the start of the second kiai like on 01:16:820 - like it is on the higher diffs

- lowering the volume for the clap hitsound in the first section, like on 00:08:727 - would be nice, since it completely drown out the very quiet clap in the music
- 00:10:619 (3) - having this slider start on such a weak sound and end on a really loud and low pitched piano doesnt fell that fitting. how about ending the slider on the really weak sound at 00:11:430 - and adding a circle? also I'd lower volume on the sliderbody a little bit since the tick lands on nothing and is quite loud, just dont make the tick inaudible since you already silenced the sliderslide
- 00:21:970 (4) - spacing feels really low compared to how you usually space those strong piano hits
- 00:23:322 (2,3,4) - I'm sure you can make a more visually appealing pattern d
- 00:34:132 (2,5) - 00:34:673 (4,6) - overlapping stuff in the same pattern in a similar/the same way looks pretty nice
also I don't really see a reason to space 6 lower suddenly? - 00:45:484 (5,6) - having the same spacing for the strong piano on 5 as for the barely audible sound on 6
^similar reasoning for why 00:51:970 (3) - should not have such low spacing
=> 00:53:592 (2,3,4,5) - this is how it makes much more sense - 00:55:214 (1) - sharper angle for more emphasis? sth like 256/267 for example
- 00:59:268 (3) - seems bit huge considering how the piano goes and it also takes away emphasis from this really strong downbeat at 00:59:523 (1) - as that has way lower spacing
- 01:15:739 (1) - sound on blue tick is quite strong, so how about making this a 1/4 repeatslider instead to cover it? it's the same sound you often put on kickslider-ends like 01:18:036 -
- 01:14:658 (1) - so much stronger than the other 1/2 sliderends, so making this one clickable would fit better
- 01:16:279 (2) - kickslider here would be nice to cover the sound
- 01:18:441 (7,8,9) - rotating this a bit to go more downwards or sth would work beter with the movement from before imo
- 01:29:252 (8) - some more spacing here would work better with the piano
- 01:24:387 (5) - pretty sure someone will tell you to tone this down a bit at some point xd
at least a little bit to bring it in line with this pattern for the first kiai - 01:32:766 - if you nc this, then also nc'ing 01:33:306 (4,5,6) - and 01:33:847 - would be nice imo
Hard
- 00:04:132 (2,3) - not having this stacked when the second sound is so much different and stronger would be nice, if you really want a stack I guess stacking 2 und 1-tail would work, same for 00:12:781 (2,3) -
- 00:11:700 - like other diff
- 00:18:187 (1,2,3,4) - mapping them with spacing more similar to insane would work better since they are really weak
- 00:21:430 (2,3) - strong change of speed on straight line plays pretty awkward. could at least try to put some angle like http://i.imgur.com/luWV355.jpg
- 00:44:403 (4,5) - going for even spacing with this whole combo here when there is such a strong difference is how strong the beats are doesnt really fit
- 00:51:970 (3) - some actual spacing to emphasize how strong it is?
- 00:59:928 (2) - uh, did you like accidentally ctrl-g this xd
01:04:252 (2) - oh, actually not it seems
it seems to be some concept of the map after all, but it feels really strange to me + the fact that that rhythm remoes all emphasis from beats like 01:00:063 - even ignoring the 1/4 on those blue ticks and doing sth simple like http://i.imgur.com/bDLtg2f.jpg would work imo
current pattern needs so much slider leniency abusing and all due to the 1/4 gap, feels harder than sth like http://i.imgur.com/4PSdCPi.jpg to me - 01:41:451 - could you not do that on a hard :d
Normal
- 00:04:132 (2) - same comment on the stacks as hard, but since the current way of stacking is much easier to play, keeping it should be okay.
or just use normal ds for the whole pattern, same for the other stacks than obv. - 00:14:132 (4,5) - overlapping them this much really hurts readability for newer players. and the fact that you suddenly halved ds won't help either. changing ds a bit on normal can sometimes work, but this makes it look like a 1/4 gap
- 01:01:144 - 1/4 sliders don't really seem like a suitable gameplay element for normals to me, even with a rather low bpm also the fact that most or all of those are mapped as 1/1 gaps on easy creates huge gap in actual difficulty, so at least making them into simple 1/2 sliders would be much better
also making 01:33:036 (3,4) - a 1/2 instead of 1/4 gap would be good - 01:15:739 (1,2,1) - whole kiai seems to use 1.8x ds and then this has 1.6x?
Easy
- 00:08:997 (3,1) - kicksliders are already not great for easy diffs and even less with such a low spacing and sv
- 01:40:255 (1) - spacing this in a way that makes it easier to understand that this is not a 1/2 gap like before would be nice
- 00:16:024 (4,1,2,3,4) - bit dense for such a low diff with all the holding and 1/2 gaps
- 00:44:403 (2) - even if 1 already starts fading out here, not covering so much of 2 with it would be better
- 01:01:685 (1,2,3,4) - kickslider spam is not really suited for such a low difficulty
