Hi M4M

00:58:270 (1) - maybe change this by 2 circle because a slider makes it a little weird Slider fits a lot better here.
01:09:794 (3) - this slider is quiet hard to read i think you may have to change his position by my opinion It's readable imo, and given the rhythm of the previous pattern, it should be easy to tell this is a kickslider.
01:42:172 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - this piece of stream should be more attached to the reste of the stream No, it's intentionally spaced to create a streamjump effect.
02:14:184 (2) - maybe change this circle to 02:14:367 (1) - and put the slider at it 02:14:184 (2) - it will be more confortable with the lyrics I want to map the instruments here though, since the previous 3 kicksliders were focused on instrument sounds too. The rhythm I have here transitions nicely from the instrument focus to vocal focus in the next pattern.
02:59:733 (1) - You should change this NC and leave it as the NC of the stream because you automaticly change NC so it's pretty useless Really doesn't make a difference but sure i guess.
03:04:672 (1) - Maybe change NC ? Wouldn't fit here.
03:15:282 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2) - these jump are wayyy to hard i think Theyre supposed to be really hard since I interpreted this as the strongest point in the song.
04:52:416 (1) - this ending slider should be more on rythm like there for exemple the circle should touch the side here 04:53:879 (2) - No I think syncing the slider-art to beats in the music will just mess up the design of the slider. If I do it here, people will complain why I didn't do it elsewhere on some of the other bends, and soon there'll be too many rhythmic restrictions for this sliderart to be artistic. My slider-arts don't tend to follow rhythms anyways. I usually do that for mini-slider arts but not difficulty-final sliders.

Pretty awesome map very fun and enjoyable hope it gets ranked !

Hello, M4M.

Please, reply to this mod and tell me why you didn't change without saying "it's my style" or "there are already ranked maps with the same kind of pattern" or other reasons like this.

1. 00:48:757 (3,4) - Why the distance between these slider is really lower than everything else ? it looks like the spacing is a little messed up here, just a few grids, but something important !!! Use 1.1x instead of 1.05 . And same for 00:49:489 (1,2) - Shifted stuff around. It's intended to be like this, but i made the negative space more reflective of the spacing I use elsewhere.
2. 01:19:855 (1,1,1,1) - This NC spam is unecessary, it's not really unreadable, but i don't really see any reason to use NC for each circle her. It may be for HP recovery ? The previous patterns are enough dense, it's not necessary to use NCs. I really like the NC spam here though. It's a lot easier to appreciate since the circles don't overlap. If they did, then the NC spam wouldn't look that nice, but here, i think it lends a nice design element and a burst of color.
3. 01:25:709 (1,2,3,4) - The song suggests something intense like this, but these 1/8s doesn't follow anything (i mean each sliderend), the current pattern just gives many 100s to the player. If you want to keep this current pattern, at least, their direction should be upward to prevent from getting unnecessary 100s because their current direction is the opposite. I actually find it really hard to get 100's on this... These are 1/8 sliders, not 1/4's so if anything, the window for aiming them and getting a 300 are even more lenient than if they were circles.
4. 02:22:690 (6,7,1) - This could be considered as a "spacing issue" because 02:22:416 (5,6) - and 02:22:782 (7,1) - have visually the same distance, but the the same gap (1/4 -> 1/2), also, it could be better if there is a higher distance between 02:22:782 (7,1) - to emphasize vocals and give a better impression. Tbh I find 1/2 and 1/4 rhythms to be a lot easier to distinguish. Nonetheless, I agree with the emphasis of the vocals here so I've moved the circle elsewhere where there's a clear jump. Also solves the readability issue i guess xD.
5. 02:46:562 (1,2,3) - Here it looks a little weird to see a large distance difference between 02:46:745 (2,3) - and 02:46:562 (1,2) - , It may be really surprising when playing and not really predictable. It will give less this impression if you increase the distance between 02:46:562 (1,2) - . I think this fits really well in emphasizing the vocals though. It doesn't play like a really large jump anyways. If you consider the kicksliders as circles, the distance tragelled between 1>2 and 2>3 is actually not too much. It's just enough to create emphasis imo.

I just removed 03:12:904 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2) - and the star rating were 5.66 -> 5.3. NICE.
Apply these suggestions, and get your first bubble repaired, and then call me back.

00:58:087 (4) - this overlap triggers me a lot, you can try moving it to the end of 00:58:087 (4) I ended up liking it lol. Actually im really triggered by stuff like this too, but I convinced myself to try some placements like this since this map is a bit different from my usual style.
01:09:977 (1,2,3) - i've always had problems playing this, the music actually implies another type of rhythm:

SPOILER

01:12:904 (1,2,3) - ^ Yea I agree. Fixed both
02:14:184 (2,1) - since you are mostly following vocals with sliders, this off vocal rhythm seems a bit abrupt here, might want to do this:

SPOILER

Mmm, For me this just feels better to play. Like the vocals begin on the red tick but i think because of how simple the rhythm is here, players shouldn't have trouble clicking on the downbeat instead.
02:49:672 (2) - this one is very difficult to hit for me, might want to drop it to 02:48:940 (1,2,3) level The reasoning here was that because the previous triplets were spaced so far apart, there'd be more momentum going into this jump than with other jumps.
02:53:696 (1,1,1) - keep these one combo, this way the 1/2 part stands out more Yeaa
03:41:440 (2,3,4,5) - and this is actually a perfect place for NC spam lol Yea sure why not xD.
04:03:209 (1) - make this slider face 04:03:392 (2,3,4) for a better directional flow I wanted the kicksliders to be like, at an angle from where the triplets were, instead of facing directly at them.

i guess i will do #2 and CB can come back and flame this
