1. 00:12:607 (7,8,1,2) - i would've expected something epic to emphasize the change in drumbeat. not sure exactly what you're trying to go for but spaced it out a bit more for now i guess Also playing around with the hitsound volume is a great way to emphasize snares that aren't as powerful as some not sure if that's what you were hinting at but i dropped the volume towards the end of the drumfill. also lowered volume for the entire intro part because i actually wanted to do that for a while but forgot - yea more spacing should be fine but forget that hitsound volume thing it doesn't really work here mb
2. 00:13:665 (1) - the finish-hitsound you have here seems really out of place. And tbh I have no idea what you're hitsounding with that i hitsound all cymbals with finished usually cause finish is a cymbal and that just makes sense to me also do you mean the sample or just the finish in general cause i'm still looking for a decent cymbal for normal-finish1 and don't actually have a sample in for that yet - yea i meant the sample
3. 01:54:438 (1,2,3) - this and 01:55:494 (1,2,3,4) - having the same spacing is kinda odd since 01:54:438 (1,2,3) - are obviously more powerful will have a closer look if anything else would make more sense at a higher spacing. i don't want to go too crazy though since this is a relatively calm and flowing part with the clean vox and all - you can just lower the ds for those guitar 1/4's and it should be fine
4. 02:01:516 (1) - hm this nc is also kinda odd since there is a snare on the previous sliderend and by making that clickable your nc could make a lot more sense here. (I mean that you should make the sliderend clickable and nc that) yeahwill look for a few more of those but i'd like to keep patterns like 01:58:663 (1,2) - intact though since i want to emphasize the held note but and if i made the end clickable on these it would just turn into a kickslider and meh - i would just fix the ones that end on snares
5. 03:01:198 (2) - this circle is overmapped (repeats) oh dear now i have to figure out how to make that readable... i guess worst case i could try to talk my way out of it with the vocal note that falls on that beat maybe - lol good luck
6. 05:31:249 (2) - *cries in pain again* not sure what you mean with that - the drums

nm, the slow streams really give me that cancer u kno, its good cancer its challenging dw. ikr

epik mode

did you use ds, because i see really weird spacing multipliers here. about equal amounts of ds, eyeballed ds and "who cares about ds".
in a lot of places i intentionally ignore or bend ds either to reinforce the warped look or to align objects with each other
00:33:524 (2) - make the pattern something like this, just make the last note farther than the rest in some way if you dont.
that's literally the exact pattern that was in the first version lol
did try something to space it more though
01:17:572 (1) - silence the end of this there's a bass drum hit here so no
02:13:240 (1,2,3) - 2 should be the emphasized one if you listen to the pitch
02:17:044 (1,2,3) - here as well you should space 2 out more to emphasize did both of those

the 1/8 stream and triples should be removed, theyre way too fast for the star level, theyre faster than image material. (image material adds up to 1040, these add up to 1136, and the streams are what kill the pros in im) that's 1/6 snap actually, which is a lot slower and also only bursts not streams which is an entirely different issue anyway
besides, i don't take star rating into account when mapping, if the song has fast bursts then those might end up in the map
03:36:653 (3,4) - these 2 notes are the same pitch, keep the spacing consistent. done, more or less
04:27:940 (1,2) - these 2 should also be the same ds as the previous note
ex notes like these 04:27:719 (5) - should have much larger spacing because it is a snare hit, this should apply to everything of this nature, otherwise ds should be consistent. this section is mostly distance snapped except for alignment reasons, and i don't feel the differences are big enough to make a noticable impact while playing, so i'll leave it at that for now
05:59:484 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - okay no. thats gonna cause unnecessary greens, misses, or even cause people to fail the map. wot. that's not even the hardest burst in the map, even i can hit those consistently

never seen something like this, gj, break the meta m8 i try

1. 00:00:144 (1,2,3,4,5) - you have an edge on 3 in this part of the stream but not 7 while they're basically the same rhythm, which makes the shape appear quit arbitrary and messy.
   
   
2. 00:02:256 (5,6,7,8,1) - not very nice looking. if nothing specific in the song calls for it, it is prefered when the notes in a stream pattern have the same angles between each other. (or in/decreasing in a consistent manner, but that is rarely pulled off ina good way) something like this look much more proper and appealing imo http://puu.sh/r18eZ/e91618ae7b.jpg
   
   
3. 00:05:425 (3) - 00:06:270 (3) - also here you have an edge on 3, which isn't the case on any of the previous 5note sequences in the same stream.. actually after listening to it like 50 times i think i can hear why you put them.. you could definitely make them flow better however. 00:05:530 (4,5,6) - this one for example implies a direction change, which you immediately kill off again at the next tick. you don't let the stream build up any flow, changing directions constantly, making it impossible to get a proper structure. so it ends up as an unconstructed mess, a formless worm of notes, even if the sounds in the music are represented in the movement. it's basically a case of tunnevisioning a local pattern without taking it's surroundings into account. this goes for many streams throughout the map really, quite the basic thing to pay attention to. you do a better job at this when jumps and larger spacings are involved.
   
   
4. 01:12:819 (2) - now, i'm anything but an expert at slider, but what i have to say on these kinds of sliders is, that they aren't really visually pleasing. i get the impression, that they're supposed to express a sort of shattered, broken up visual with all those red anker points. while that is a good enough idea, the execution doesn't quite live up to it. it looks mostly random, especially in correlation to other objects. this one for example 01:09:861 (1,2,3) - has a better visual effect, even if still not exactly optimal, since the sliders interact with each other while still maintaining the same expression. it's basically the same point as on the streams really.
   
   
5. 01:54:438 (1,2,3,4) - also here, you don't let the song take any momentum in for of flow, just try to put 3 in position x5 y200 and see how it changes the movement in a way that keeps the momentum of the movement going. this is just one example that doesn't even pay attention to spacing to show the concept.

   smoothed out the curve on 3 and curved the second half a bit, that is a bit inconsistent partially because i wasn't sure what exactly i was going to do with the concept at that point

   here's where the fundamental concept for this map comes in: i don't want it to look proper and appealing. the song sounds very raw and unrefined and i want this to be reflected in the map, i even went over some streams after the fact because they were too regular.
   so what i'm trying to say is this is something i am very reluctant to change because it goes against the aesthetic concept of the map
   
3. 00:05:425 (3) - 00:06:270 (3) - also here you have an edge on 3, which isn't the case on any of the previous 5note sequences in the same stream.. actually after listening to it like 50 times i think i can hear why you put them.. you could definitely make them flow better however. 00:05:530 (4,5,6) - this one for example implies a direction change, which you immediately kill off again at the next tick. you don't let the stream build up any flow, changing directions constantly, making it impossible to get a proper structure. so it ends up as an unconstructed mess, a formless worm of notes, even if the sounds in the music are represented in the movement. it's basically a case of tunnevisioning a local pattern without taking it's surroundings into account. this goes for many streams throughout the map really, quite the basic thing to pay attention to. you do a better job at this when jumps and larger spacings are involved.
   so first the specifics you point out: 00:05:425 (3) - is intended to be played as one curve, not as a turn on 3; the intentionally added irregularity just makes it look like a shallow angle
   00:05:530 (4,5,6) - here the intention is (actually for more or less the entire section) that every group of 4 circles is aimed separately, to reinforce the underlying beat.
   and more generally, the constant changes in direction are something i knew i wanted to do from the very start, to achieve the look i wanted and also to some degree to intentionally break the flow, i feel a nice long flowing stream would not match the feel of the song which is very chaotic
   
4. 01:12:819 (2) - now, i'm anything but an expert at slider, but what i have to say on these kinds of sliders is, that they aren't really visually pleasing. i get the impression, that they're supposed to express a sort of shattered, broken up visual with all those red anker points. while that is a good enough idea, the execution doesn't quite live up to it. it looks mostly random, especially in correlation to other objects. this one for example 01:09:861 (1,2,3) - has a better visual effect, even if still not exactly optimal, since the sliders interact with each other while still maintaining the same expression. it's basically the same point as on the streams really.
   i will be the first to admit that i am absolutely abysmal at sliders but again, looking chaotic is what i was going for. i am open to any suggestions on specific sliders but overall i achieved the look i intended. i do try to make longer sliders interact in many places in the map though
   i will give you 01:12:819 (2) - but there is not much for that slider to interact with, at least not on screen at the same time. i did adjust it a bit to interact with other sliders in the same area but i doubt that's noticable
   
5. 01:54:438 (1,2,3,4) - also here, you don't let the song take any momentum in for of flow, just try to put 3 in position x5 y200 and see how it changes the movement in a way that keeps the momentum of the movement going. this is just one example that doesn't even pay attention to spacing to show the concept.
   i'm afraid i'm not sure what you're trying to tell me with this example, i know i don't have a good understanding of flow but this doesn't really tell me anything.
   i will say though that quite a few of the momentum changes are intentional for emphasis, for example on the doubles

i think there's no point in me saying more on individual things as i'd keep repeating myself. it's really the underlying structures in terms of flow especially, that i see lacking in this map first and foremost. i'm not telling you to streamline the map to the current meta by any means btw, you're somehow doing things right, you follow the rhythms to the score. it just doesn't have much in terms momentum or aesthetics
aesthetics - intended, and i fully understand why you might disagree with me. tbqh i expected way more people to do that, if i hadn't gotten a much more positive response than expected i would've left the map to grave from the beginning
momentum - as i said, i am not too good at flow and not too many suggestions have been made in that regard so i am not sure how to improve that aspect

in the end this turned into a post on themes with given examples rather than a real mod. i hope it's understandable since i've been pondering over how to explain these things for longer than i wanted. it's really not easy things to be put in words. good practice for me in any case though, no regrets.
i appreciate you taking the time, and i think i doesn't make sense to point out specifics if you have more general disagreements with the map so a post like this is just as appreciated as a nitpick mod

General

In terms of djeneral structure, I'm not a big fan of how you intepreted the rhythm guitar for the most part. Technically fine and too late to change it now, but it's usually just open string note repeating, in my book something more regular would fit way better than random wiggles that seemingly have no real reason to happen, also overall impression in terms of design is not that great either. More straight lines and regular curves copypasted around for more consistent patterns (with some cool regular overlaps?) would seem better to me, just something to think about in future prodjects.

Don't really like these sliders too, gives away this A-L-I-E-N vibe of intentional irregularity/ugliness, would like to see more regularity and better proportions http://puu.sh/r42Cf.jpg vs http://puu.sh/r42EO.jpg or http://puu.sh/r42Il.jpg vs http://puu.sh/r42JB.jpg for example. Again you probably don't want to change every single slider, just bit of an honest opinion here.

Normally i do map with much more regular structure and simple sliders, but this was an idea that i had while listening to this song, i wanted to fit the raw, unrefined feel the song has with a map that looks like that but has structure behind it. (and then i went insane by mapping it in like 3 days) for the record i was not even aware of alien until a while after i finished the first version of this, so no inspiration from there, but the intention is similar also an entire paragraph without opportunities for a djent pun FeelsBadMan

THOR

01:09:016 (1,2,3,1) - First things first, pretty sure 2B is not rankable looks like i messed up while messing around with that slider, whoops

00:15:672 (1) - just make a double this feels weird when playing done, though i wanted to fit the weird hammer-on-type thing it' probably too hard to notice to justify that slider

00:17:784 (2) - snare on slider end, if anything change the order (slider first then circle) edit: similar spot 00:36:270 (3,4) - not sure about that, since heavily focus on the guitar here i want to give the second note of the double enough emphasis... if anything i'd make it a triple.
will think about what to do

00:27:608 (1,1) - exactly half of velocity is rather troll, especially that they use very similar shape, would avoid that in ranked maps, change the shape at least
the ticks (and NC) make this one very readable imo, so it serves as a good introduction to the sv changes that are everywhere

00:32:573 (2,3) - ctrl+H (2) and move it so it follows into 3 naturally this thing is hard to read as 1/4 jump and not really part of the theme with this spacing
basically a revert of a previous mod but since this is closer to my original pattern i'll prefer this

00:57:819 (1) - could use 2 circles here just for the sake of that snare + this little slider looks and plays weird
makes sense

01:12:819 - ye I think this is the slider from accidental 2b pattern should go
you are correct

01:56:868 (4,1) - stack stop and goes will usually be 1/2 or 1/1 hard to read as 3/4 better space it out
done

02:07:325 (1) - weird nc
start of a new measure and phrase, why is it weird? 02:07:114 (1) - is the one id more likely consider weird because of there in the measure it is, but that's consistent with other stream patterns
for the record this is also exactly what maakkeli suggested here

02:26:868 (2,3,4,5,6) - sort of random use of stacks? you don't use them that much or at all anywhere else
unstacked for consistency's sake

02:34:790 - could be mapped, slider or something
really hard to make out and, as mentioned previously, would take away some emphasis of the beginning of the new section right after

02:40:705 (3,1) - nice spot for a triple, you do one before (and after on 02:42:395 (2,3,4) - )
didn't hear that one before, thanks

02:53:381 (2,3) - jumps go bigger here though so it's ok to not map it for the sake of better spacing pressure but you could

02:54:438 (1,2) - similar situation
not too keen on mapping these ones because i want to focus on the guitar crescendo

02:57:079 - damn that monkey is smoking hot

02:58:135 (6,1) - that change is super extreme and super undreadable don't speed it up that much, free 100s
it's definitely not easy to read, but with the high tickrate and the consistency of sv multipliers assigned to certain sounds i find it to be doable
00:56:340 - already teaches the player what to expect from tiny scrunched up sliders, so in this spot the focus will be more on the long sliders and their (lack of) ticks

03:01:268 (2,3,4) - this is super hard to time considering it's off the main "rhythmical grid" (does that make sense) off beat is the term you're looking for by 1/6, return slider maybe then next quad is sort of more expected
did slider+circle because snare

03:11:973 (1,2) - again not big fan of this much speed up

03:14:790 (2,3,4) - same spot
same as before for both

03:15:987 (3,1) - space out looks very 1/4ish
bent stream the other way

03:42:720 - 2spooky4me. also I think this deer (?) has 2 eyes visible maybe light the second one up too
people have been telling me but i cannot for the life of me make out the other eye, it looks like it's on the other side of the head to me and just a bit of the brow is visible

05:06:984 (2,1) - that's pretty big considering the (2) direction as well, maybe start the stream more in the middle of those sliders?

05:12:719 (2,1) - similarily, a bit closer
did both

05:46:028 - why not mapping this
because the rhythm is pretty awkward, i like the emphasis of the slow stack much more especially for the start of a new section. similar at 00:40:989 -

It's interesting to play and has good rhythm for the most part, but I can tell you it will be very hard to convince BNs too bubble and flame because of what I mentioned at start. no shit
i was aware of that from the start, yeah, i wasn't even expecting anyone else to like the map in the beginning, but the unexpectedly positive response (and it being the map of mine i most enjoy playing) made me want to at least try (and then alien was qualified and i thought i might actually have a slight chance xd)
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/429989 patterns like on this are not that hard to make and leave a better impression and fit complex regularity of this music better, think about it see reasoning in the beginning, love that map though, and it is closer to what i try to achieve with most of my maps - just not this one

00:14:721 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - The stacking of the first and second note are really annoying to read due to low AR. Consider maybe moving the first note a bit.

tried out something different, liked it better than the stacks

I wasnt sure if the map is even possible to pass, because of its HP6 and the long breaks without breaktime between 03:39:190 - 04:19:328.
But this i tried passing it with its HR drain with 8.4 and i was able to pass it. -> http://puu.sh/rctZT/d98bc06736.jpg

00:33:666 (1,1,1) - ctrl+g? also this looks weird with new combos imo would be a revert to an older pattern more or less, emphasis is better this way because of the higher spacing towards the end. also nc's are to make it stand out so it's easier to read as a different rhythm
00:40:496 (6,7) - i think these might look better here http://i.imgur.com/7HMqxbH.png don't really like that's the entire pattern has no overlaps so overlapping on the last note looks inconsistent
00:44:086 (2,3,4,5) - shouldnt this look more weird looking i like the way you think
01:16:410 (3) - i think this could be more jumpy or like spaced more moved around the sliders to space it more, i want to keep 3 where it is since it's part of a group of circles belonging to spinners which are centered
02:37:959 (2,3,4) - i think this would look nicer if it was rotated -90 degrees like dis http://i.imgur.com/qwlRstJ.jpg rotated out a bit but not as much
03:07:325 (2) - ctrl+g? xd i want this to point at 3 so no
03:31:690 (4) - something like this would be better imo http://i.imgur.com/pZdH0m6.jpg all circles after longer rests are in the same place as the circle before them
04:23:749 (2) - i think the sliderend should point at the 3 note, would look better imo done
04:54:631 (6) - something like this again? http://i.imgur.com/L32MzrV.jpg i prefer the closer autostack here because it's intended to be a slight emphasis on the two same-pitch vocal notes ("in the")

2. 00:13:242 (2) - I think it would be beneficial to ctrl+g this, since the sounds on each of these sliders is the same there's no reason to make (1,2) so awkward to play while (2,3) is comfortable to play. The ctrl+g makes the movement between these objects more consistent
3. 00:15:672 (1,2) - For me little spaced doubles like this play very poorly so consider moving (2) underneath (1) to make it less horrible

10. 01:20:002 (1) - Ok this song is BRUTAL and this map is BRUTAL and putting this circle in the middle is NOT BRUTAL so make it more BRUTAL and put it in the corner put it off to the side diagonally

10. 01:20:002 (1) - Ok this song is BRUTAL and this map is BRUTAL and putting this circle in the middle is NOT BRUTAL so make it more BRUTAL and put it in the corner put it off to the side diagonally i consider this to be part of the spinner so i want it to be centered, plus coming out of the spinner already gives it some additional impact. on an unrelated note the correct term for this song would be heavy, not brutal (yes there are discussions on the exact meaning of those terms)

12. 06:02:130 - why not make a dank sliderart it doesnt even have to look good i actually prefer the spinner here since the song ends on an unresolved chord (compare 01:17:466 - which is then resolved at 01:20:002 - which never happens for this one)

Feel free to disregard my points as it is just my view on the map.

Where's my ar 8.4 =( evil people took it away =(

00:00:144 - to 00:12:925 - I think curves could be polished more on beginning streams while still maintaining the aesthetic (doubt these would change playability too much). Some of the notes in particular stick out to me as they look jagged out by just a tiny bit and I think slight readjustments would benefit that section a lot. adjusted a few, if you have any particular points you don't like feel free to point them out specifically

00:15:672 (1,2) - rotate slightly (5 or 10 degrees)? I think the anti flow jump doesn't compliment this particular progression but doubles at a slightly different angle would make it play better and look nice, even though looks seems to be the last thing on your mind for this map (in a good way). i kinda like the lined-up pattern but this works too

00:21:165 (6) - move slightly down? It feels jagged as is: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6231174 jagged is kinda the intention but this was slightly misspaced anyway and that just fixed that

00:24:333 (5,6) - why am I so annoyed by this sorta thing, maybe try this? https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6231210 that one's on purpose because it looked too regular

That particular point (stream notes jagged out) repeats itself a bunch, so not going to repeat myself more on this. There's also parts where I think it's fine (like this 00:29:721 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - ) so you can decide which ones you like (or deny everything). Also this is really more present in the beginning of the map; I think it's used very well everywhere else. that might be because a lot of the irregularities in the beginning were added later on once i decided to go crazy with the mapping style

00:33:523 (1,1) - make this jump a tad bigger? https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6231255. sure, also looks a bit better

00:42:819 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - I think the sliders could have a slight curve or a jagged part which fits aesthetics here a bit better but I don't have any ideas that would fit your map really. all kicksliders are straight for better readability

01:03:312 (3) - mirroring the pattern here seems pretty cool in my opinion. https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/6231374 not sure what you're trying to say, that screenshot is exactly the current pattern

01:25:917 (1,2) - 01:30:987 (1,2) - 01:36:058 (1,2) - you could extend these to the blue ticks since the sound does ring a little but if you're strictly following white/red ticks you can disregard this. the slider ends are mapped to when the bends reach their target note

01:59:297 (1,2,3) - and 02:13:240 (1,2,3) - 1 to 2 isn't the same distance snap as 2 to 3 and it's very noticeable while playing it. that's actually intentional and a suggestion from a previous mod, to fit the pitch changes. i did change the pattern a bit to make the angle sharper which should hopefully make it nice to play

02:07:114 (1,2,1,2,3) - I think expressing this is better if you jump from 1,2 to 1,2,3. I feel like the change in drums should be easily identifiable here. not sure if i'm understanding you correctly but if you're suggesting a stream jump then the answer is no, doesn't fit into the map

04:36:322 (1,2,3,4) - maybe make spacing from 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 parallel? sure

And then I have nothing because from first kiai to the end is the stronger portion of the map and the rest is either points I've already said or good as it is. Hope it helps and good luck on ranking it!

from my modding queue:
00:00:144 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - the melody is repetitive and consistent, why did you place all of them in this way?
also consider to make 00:00:566 (1,1) - nc here due in accord to melody

uh now i see... you made all the streams in this way. dude all these handplaced streams triggering me so badly ;w; I would suggest you to increase the spacing and make them more structured by using ctrl+shift+f tool... actually a lot of them were made using crtl+shift+f, the sliders were just shaped like that xd
and yeah the look is very much intentional as i've explained a few times before
and the same issue with nc is all over the place... i don't really get what nc issue you're trying to point out
00:15:672 (1,2,3) - flow? ctrl g 1,2? already changed a bit from previous mod, i don't want it pointing in the direction of the next note since that would take away a lot of the impact of the second note
00:15:989 (3,4) - nc on each of them like did in next intervals? not sure what you're referring to, there is no comparable pattern in this section

02:25:494 (3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - this is some unreadable stuff right here... what? that's a really straightforward stream

02:30:648 - http://puu.sh/rvt3R/8a2861a46f.jpg this overlap is just idk... the circles above are gone before those below fade in so i don't see a problem with it

nice triangles ▲
03:07:325 (2,3,1) - this flow is just bad, look at the angles youre using... don't really see a problem, it's pretty much a back and forth
05:05:219 (4,1) - ds here shud be bigger than 05:04:778 (2,3,4) - because slider>note flow sliderheads are pretty much the same as circles so this is fine especially as it's intended to be visually consistent
05:49:778 (2,3) - ds? o_o flow? changed to be consistent with other patterns
06:02:131 (1) - put it in the middle of the playfield? done

Overall i think this map is decent. You shud ask some bns to check it. that's what i'm going to try soon-ish since i have reached my arbitrary goal of 20 mods
But you shud make all these streams more consistent with proper angles inbetween the notes.

  1. eh, I'd personally bump the OD up a bit since this map seems really stream heavy, and note locking is kinda annoying :/
     
  2. 00:34:580 (1,2,1) - I'd completely stack this to put more emphasis on the second 1
     
  3. 00:38:805 (1,2,1) - ^
     
  4. 02:35:213 - holy monstrata
     
  5. 03:26:175 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - idk, seems weird the spacing jumps in the triangles even when theres really no change in the sounds.
     
  6. 04:40:293 (5,2) - can u space these out a tiny bit more for A E S T H E T I C S
     
     Honestly, I can't point out a lot. There's nothing that really stood out to me that either wasn't intentional or that was particularly wrong with the map. Although I'm not too huge on the whole idea of making it ugly on purpose, you pull it off in a way that it still feels neat. Unfortunately I don't really have the finger control nor the stamina to really play it ): but it looks really fun.
     
     I really hope to see this ranked in the future, best of luck zhuriel

     was higher originally, to prevent notelock completely i'd have to use 9.5 i think which is far too high for 136bpm. leaving it at this for now

     not using stacks but i reduced the spacing

     the spacing in these is almost perfectly constant?

     done
