[Song Folder]
Not sure about the VBR mp3 bitrate http://puu.sh/1aGx

[All difficulties]
Slider tick rate 2 seems to be more fitting to me. (Also note how all sliders look prettier now?)

[Rukario]
Hp Drain -1

[Powerdrunk]
02:19:186 (1,3) - I strongly disagree with these, try something more circular for your loop sliders. also lol with Slider tick rate 2 http://puu.sh/1aHg

[iMuffin]
00:51:586 (1) - If you already used an slider for 00:49:186 (2) I recommend u use another one here, spinner's kinda short imo.
01:14:386 (2) - I dont think clapping the whole slider fits, i think just use claps on start and end, sounds better.
01:30:436 (4) - Add a clap for consistence with 01:28:036 (4)
01:51:586 (2) - Would look better if you make this one a copy of 01:50:386 (1) since it has a better shape.
01:53:986 (6) - ^ and rotate.

[Lizzehb]
Why does this diff has lower star rating and higher max score than iMuffin's? (This happens even with slider tick rate 1)
I cant say those Z-smooth sliders look good at all when they are so short, maybe use just a linear slider or a simple curve?
00:18:886 (1,2) - I cant say i like these overlaps, but it's up to you whether to change or not.
01:45:586 (1,1,1,1) - I think these look better in a single combo.
02:07:186 (1,2,3) - and 02:07:786 (3,4,5) - and 02:08:686 (6,7,8) - Spacing errors.

[RJ]
Since i think you like your sliders to be perfect 01:10:786 (4,5) - (4)'s distance towards (5) isnt the same throughout the whole slider
01:17:986 (2,3) - ^
01:20:386 (4,5) - ^
If you dont mind these misalignments then dont worry just some slider nazi stuff

[Larto]
I guess this is the only diff where slider tick rate 2 doesnt really look pretty on some sliders.
01:47:986 (3) - Slider end is touching the hp bar.
02:28:786 (1) - Note touching the hp bar.
02:48:061 (1) - Hmm i dont think the start note to this is really needed, you could pretty much start the spinner in there instead.

Whew that was quite a bit, although mostly just some minor nazi stuff, call me back for recheck when you need, starring for now

here's my fixes

HP-1 also agree with Tick Rate 2

Fixed~

"iMuffin" "Muffin" is missing from tags on Rukario's diff

No kudosu, call me back after this simple fix for bubble

Edit: Ok let's try Bubbled~

-As mentioned earlier did you check your mp3? (The average bitrate seems to be around 208, getting slightly too high)
-Use tick rate 2 on every difficulty? Seems to fit more with the song
-Offset might need approx +5, not 100% on that~

Larto's Easy:
02:11:686 (1) - seems to follow the flow more starting at 02:11:986 in my opinion
02:51:586 (1,2) - no silent notes plz

RandomJibberish's Normal:
01:26:386 (1,2,3,1) - odd spacing on patterns like this (not a big fan of anti jumps)
02:50:386 (1) - end at 02:52:186 like the other difficulties? (sounds better)

iMuffin's Hard:
-Some sliders in this difficulty could look much better if smoothed out more (00:28:786 (1), 00:31:186 (1) etc)
00:10:036 (2,5) - nazi: stack these?
01:28:786 (1) - again could look nicer and easier to read
02:23:986 (1,2,3,4) - as an entire pattern doesn't look very neat
02:45:586 (5,6,7) - might as well go through and clean up some stacking~
02:51:586 (6) - no silent notes/sliders plz

Lizzehb's Challenging:
-Still some very odd looking sliders
02:51:586 (1,2,3) - no silent notes plz

Powerdrone's Insane:
02:31:186 (1,2) - stuff like this could look better in general
02:51:586 (3,4,5) - no silent notes plz

Rukarioman's Extreme:
-Ahhhh more than three slider speed---anyway
02:51:586 (1) - ~

As you can tell I really disapprove of silent notes/sliders being used (and I think most players will agree) if you could change them
Call me back after fixes and I will rebubble~

Step 1: Go into the editor
Step 2: Select "Open Difficulty"
Step 3: Switch diffs between verses
Step 4: ???
Step 5: This is a stupid meme so I'm not going to say "Profit".

Fixed the silent slider and removed some green lines that screwed with the sliderslide and tick.

The mp3 was encoded at V2, which should be enough for VBR mp3s. I tried reencoding it to V2, and the average bitrate changed to 205. Not a big success.
Powerdrone disagrees with Tick Rate 2 being used on his difficulty, and on Easy it just sounds kind of ugly due to the long sliders. Though i could do it on Easy. In fact, I will.
And I reallyreallyreallyreally doubt that anyone can hear an actual difference between the offsets if I add +5. I'll add +3 just to be sure it's in the middle. Larto logic!

okay fixed the problems

Larto logic is the best logic.

Pleaser reply to this mod saying what you didn't fix (and what you did) and why.
Also, if you have any question, feel free to ask me in-game

General
Seems fine.

Larto's Easy
00:30:439 (2) - Too far from previous slider. The spacing surprised me enough to make me combobreak.
01:28:039 (2,2) - Stack them ? I think it'd look better.
02:07:189 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - I think this is too hard to play for new players.
02:37:189 (3,4,1) - Spacing... Although there's a new combo and stuff, this kind of thing is really confusing.

RandomJibberish's Normal
00:11:989 (3,4) - The spacing here...
00:16:789 (1,2) - ... is the same as here...
00:19:189 (1,2) - ... then is back to what it was before.
And the time gap between the two first patterns isn't the same.
This happens several times in the map and there isn't a single time when I wasn't surprised.
This spacing change causes things like...
00:47:989 (1,2) - ... to be extremely surprising and hard to play.

iMuffin's Hard
00:10:789 (4,5) - (5) is hidden under (3) and its hitburst, making the rhythm a bit hard to read, because that (5) is unexpected.
00:09:589 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - For this kind of pattern, I think it sounds better if (3) has a clap.
00:28:789 (1,2,3) - Spacing issue. They are all 1/1 and aren't spaced the same way.
00:38:389 (1) - This might be too hard to catch so soon after the spinner.
01:15:889 (5) - I think it would be better if this was a 1/2 repeat slider, for pattern symmetry purposes.
01:31:189 (1) - Why is this slider linear-like while all the others are curved ?
01:35:989 (1) - This might be too hard to catch so soon after the spinner.
01:50:389 (1) - Same. Especially after that short spinner.
02:13:789 (7,8,9,10,1) - Rather than this clap patter, I think it would be better to make a crescendo here with only normal hitsounds, maybe a finish for the last note.
02:43:189 (1) - Why is this slider linear-like while all the others are curved ?

Lizzehb's Challenging
00:14:089 (6,7,1,2,3) - This part was extremely hard for me to play. I couldn't figure out the timing even after three tries.
01:14:389 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - And so was this one.
01:20:389 (4,1,2) - Spacing. They aren't spaced evenly despite having the same time gap...

Powerdrone's Insane
01:09:589 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) - The 1/1 here was genuinely surprising.
02:19:189 (1,2,3,4) - This combo's spacing is bad: (1,2,3) are spaced with 0,9x and (3,4) with 1,2x. Besides, (4) should stack with 02:22:789 (4) - but doesn't - it looks rather bad.
02:31:189 (1,2) - On top of being extremely surprising, I don't even think that kind of jump is playable.

Rukarioman's Extreme
OD is quite high for such high BPM.
Also, more than three unique slider speeds are used in the diff.
00:13:639 (4) - The whistle here sounds bad - it sounds like it comes out of nowhere.
01:38:389 (1,2,3) - Spacing issue: they aren't spaced evenly despite having the same time gap.

Actually, I forgot to write the rest of what I had in mind: it's perfectly fine seeing I didn't even realize there were more than 3 slider speeds while testplaying.

01:14:389 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - And so was this one. Changed note spams into sliders, rearranged some notes.
01:20:389 (4,1,2) - Spacing. They aren't spaced evenly despite having the same time gap... Hmm that's strange AI and DC were both like lol put that note there. If it's still awkward there I can change it to a slider.

Ily, have my babies.

Fix a little tiny nazi hitsound thing, GL

[Lizzehb's Challenging]

01:53:989 (1,2,3) - Make this spacing consistent, it looks weird the way it is right now.

[Powerdrone's Insane]

Enable Countdown like the other difficulties do.

Yeah.

This map has 4 insanes (if you don't count the hard one 3) and it should be unranked.

Both iMuffin's Hard and lizzehb's Challenging are by no means fast to play, use 1/2 streams in relatively low amounts and in - 90% of both maps - have spacing so low that you could play it with arthritis. Noting your exceptional amount of kudosu, I'm sure you would know what qualifies as an insane and what does as a hard. Don't trust the star rating that much, thank you.

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=25963&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=180

I'm learning from your MATs/BATs.

EDIT: Actually nevermind that, ephemeral was obviously acting entirely on his own here and unranking for a reason that hasn't even been stated- Hey wait a minute this case is entirely unrelated because that map actually DID have a lot of insanes, it just shouldn't have been unranked because the difficulty spread thing was not in the guidelines at that point. go away

It actually is related because people from your team unranks maps for X reasons, but some other maps have the same "issues" and still get ranked like nothing is wrong. Kinda unfair but w/e. Afaik from that topic some MATs just nuked that map because THEY SAW many I on the beatmap info page (didn't play it), I'm doing the same, bad thing I can't unrank maps.

Firstly, the map you are talking about did have 3 Insanes, and would not pass as ranked nowadays. Though it SHOULD have EARLIER, because at that point when it was unranked, no difficulty spread guideline existed. That was bullshit, has been acknowledges as such, is 11 months old and should be forgotten by now. And no, Ephemeral actually looked at the map before unranking. That doesn't matter at this point though, as the unrank was unnecessary either way. Also, just because someone else is being stupid, it doesn't allow you to be.
