Hi, from my modding queue. M4M (my map):
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/432322[General]
HP setting is not appropriate:
The easier the difficulties are, the higher their HP are.
HP:
Kantan = 7
Futsuu = 6
Muzukashii =5
Oni = 5/6 <-- 6 is for a more challenging HP setting.
[Oni]
> 00:07:272 (41) - shift it to 00:07:418 - for a better pattern. You used the similar in 00:06:174 (33,34,35) - and 00:08:516 (49,50,51) - .
> 00:09:321 (56,57) - ctrl+G, considering the pitches of the sfx. In case you want to emphasize the kkkkkk, you may still keep 00:09:394 (57) - as d. That's fine though.
> 00:47:004 (307) - it should be d because 00:46:711 (304,306,307) - sounds like k k d. If you adopt it, you will find that another mono-d-5-plets repeated. I suggest that change 00:47:223 (310) - to k. I hear a low drum hit at 00:47:296 (311) - which is d, so that 00:47:223 (310) - being k can emphasize 00:47:296 (311) - . If you do not like dddkd, then nvm.
> 00:56:077 (373) - change to d. It sounds better according to the pitch.
> 00:56:809 (378) - change to K, same reason as above
> The kiai session is relatively too plain comparing to the introduction or the other normal sessions. More complicated notes patterns and a higher notes density are expected in Kiai. ( Please check Muzukashii * for more detail)
> 01:00:321 (400,401,402) - / 01:09:687 (460,461,462) - You can use Finishes here.
[Muzukashii]
> 00:09:101 (37) - this slider contains two different sfx and I feel really weird. Maybe you would like try these (00:09:101 (37) - ):
> 00:28:272 - 00:28:345 - d d should be put here. There are two reasons for this suggestion, firstly, the ends of each 8 bars fills up with at least 4 notes, for instance, 00:21:248 (103,104,105,106) - , 00:23:589 (113,114,115,116) - ); secondly, this suggestion is as same as the one in Oni at the same timing.
> 01:09:247 (308,309,310,311,312,313) - this pattern should be similar to the previous one (00:59:589 (263,264,265,266,267,268,269,270) - ), and vice versa.
*I prefer using a simplier pattern because you did keep Kiai relatively clean and clear in Oni (in case you keep it clean). Hence, for a better notes spread, Muzu should also share a similar atmosphere, right? Also, please check the consistencies of the uses of colour of the notes with Oni.
[Futsuu]
> It seems fine, but the SR rating is broken despite a huge difference form Muzukashii. Perhaps some off-beat patterns are used so that the SR sys. responded like it poorly.
[Kantan]
** SR MUST <2 (the lowest difficulty among a mapset must be SR<2 **> Note density is slightly too high in Kantan. That's why the SR is beyond 2*.
> 00:09:101 (16) - It can be removed because that 1/2 ready stage at 00:09:833 - is not enough for Kantan level player.
> 00:18:614 (32) - remove this note, the density around this note is too high.
> 00:21:248 (37) - / 00:23:589 (41) - / 00:25:931 (45) - / 00:28:272 (50) - can be removed, same reason as above.
> 00:28:711 (51) - from this note onwards, the notes patterns are not well set. You can see that in Futsuu, you have k between the D(s). Meanwhile, you do not put a single k in Kantan. That's not a wise way to map imo.
00:30:028 (52) - the positions like this should have a k on it. A single k put can be a huge difference already. I am not going to make a long list here. Please refer to your own Futsuu.
** 1/2 are prohibited in Kantan ** Check the Kiai session> 00:57:833 (100,101) - / 01:00:174 (106,107) - / .... no 1/2 plz... You should delete the off-beat patterns because they are just over-killing for Kantan level players.
I hope my mod is helpful.
