00:41:451 (6) - you could change it's direction verticly. https://puu.sh/ujgML/0e69b15529.png . My reasoning being that it just looks more natural to me because it would fit the perfectly beatiful nature of the map. (The slider could use some reshaping tho)
00:46:808 (8) - Moving this down a bit, so you have a contrast to the diagonal up-left down-right movement of 00:45:308 (3,4,5,6) - .
02:08:665 (6,7,8) - I think putting them in a non-cruved or higher angled pattern would emphasise the drums better by contrasting the "kiai" up till now. It it wierdly felt less rewarding playing than 02:00:951 (6,7,8) - .
02:39:308 (4,5) - "curved" xD. Tbh i thnk breaking the pattern a bit and curvig those two a bit more would hilight the flute aswell. i kinda notice ._.
03:18:737 (1,2) - kidan cancerous balnket XD
04:06:094 (4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - The transition was very awkward to play. Maybe something similar to this 01:48:737 (5,6,7,1) - or 1/2 slider this 04:06:094 (4) - . It is readable but not very nice to play concidering how naise to play the rest of the map is. And imo it doesnt feel like a part which would need such high contrast.
04:42:737 (5) - this is kinda random imo. Breaks the whole serenity of the map to follow wierd violin notes. [maybe 2 or 3 1/4 repeats instead :^) ]
04:57:742 (3,4,5) - You could be really cool and highlight the stacks in this part with very slight custom stacks. I kinda like highlighting piano notes like that C: https://puu.sh/ujmxu/b3ff9f6372.png (moved diagonaly down and to the right by 2 "pixels" each)

didnt check if everything makes sense sooooo... yeah you know where to find me.

Hey! From my queueueueueu

General: Your BG appears to be above 1366x768, don't forget to change it.

Normal:
Not sure if a small slider on Normal repeating like this is allowed 04:26:879 (1) and so close to the next object, but still, 04:28:165 (2) - needs a NC for better reading.
That's all i could find really, it's well mapped.

Hard:
Possible nitpick but 00:20:451 (4,6) - this overlap seems a bit hard to read even for a Hard compared to the rest.
00:26:451 (1,2) - Another weird overlap but this one is less intense so its fine
01:09:094 (4) - This circle needs to be placed slightly lower as well
01:46:165 - Don't leave this part in silence? The absence of mapping here felt kinda weird, even thought there would be a spinner at least
04:04:379 - You could add another circle here to fill the long pause, and it fits well to the music ofc, you can place it right in the middle of the playfield.

Sinfonia:
00:30:308 (3) - Ctrl+G? Looks better and flows nicely too
Personal opinion again but these patterns: 01:50:237 (1,2,3,4,5) - would be easier and look better if each object had its own color, but its more in the playability sense that i would prefer each having its own combo for better reading.
02:13:594 (1,2,3,4,5) - Same thing but then you have to remove combo on 02:14:879 (1) - to avoid misclicking and another alternative would be also moving all objects 02:13:594 (1,1,1,1,1) - to be placed last object on top of start of slider 02:14:879 - , again, to avoid misclick if you happened to change the combo colors as i said
04:06:737 (2,3,4,5) - Same as before
04:25:808 (2,3,4,5,6) - ^ Yup

Sorry if the mod is too short, i usually testplay all of the maps that i get for modding but yours is really well done already so it was nothing really missing for me to suggest unless super nitpicky. The overlaps are all pretty well done and since the whole maps follow the same idea theres really nothing to go on about pointing every single one.
Really fun to play though.

Good luck!

The absence of mapping here felt kinda weird, even thought there would be a spinner at least I initially did have a spinner here but also wanted to have 01:47:665 - mapped so I removed it cause recoverytime after spinner rules bla but put it back again and removed that circle
04:04:379 - You could add another circle here to fill the long pause, and it fits well to the music ofc, you can place it right in the middle of the playfield. dunno why I just didnt do the same here as 01:47:879 -

  1. Well even tho this difficulty is very dense, but still AR 5 is way too much for "first" difficulty of the set . please nerf to 4 or 4.5
  2. 00:06:951 (2,3,4,5) - Well since you are using 1/2 alot here , it would hurt to remove repeat from 00:08:022 (5) - and use circle at 00:08:451 - so that it emphasizes the loud melody and cymbal properly
  3. 00:31:594 - 01:20:451 - and others like these i would make these clickable also for same reason as above , but these ones are'nt actually as strong as the previous one
  4. 00:41:879 (6,1) - Swap NC's for consistency
  5. 01:25:594 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6) - In this whole section , Your NC patterning is really weird , Sometime the nc is after 2 downbeats , sometime after 3 and sometimes after 4 . there is no consistency at all so you should rather fix it
  6. 02:37:594 (4) - NC
  7. 04:24:308 - Well its pretty clear the sound one this downbeat is twice as intense as 04:23:879 - in term of both vocal and melody , The snare and cymbal also make this one a really important beat , Executing it like this on a slider end is a really bad idea.
[Hard]
  1. 00:05:879 (1,1) - You really dont need to spam NC here , I know NC for sv change is a thing . But its just a guideline not a rule . The sv change here is hardly even noticeable. You could safely remove NC from 00:06:522 (1) - and it will be all cool as before.
  2. 00:06:522 (1,1) - ummm http://puu.sh/uOGwc/76db69d394.jpg is this tiny overlap really necessary , its looks bad bad
  3. 00:36:308 (1,1) - Stack
  4. 00:57:094 (6,7) - You should rather leave them DS'd . The reason for this is that the sound at 00:57:308 - is more powerful so stacking it doesnt emphasize it in terms of spacing .More like these exist in the diff so check them yourself
  5. 01:37:165 - You broke your NC patterning from here , so remove nc from 01:37:165 (1) - and add at 01:38:451 (4) - and so one
  6. 02:11:879 (1) - Cute
  7. 02:22:165 - Rip NC patterning again
  8. 03:21:308 - Again , Make this clickable for better emphasis
[Insane]
  1. 00:57:094 (6,7) - Same as in hard
  2. 02:28:594 - and another break in NC patterning , are these intentional? they exist in all diffs . If intentional , i cant really tell why would u do it this way

fixed everything except these 00:31:594 (6) - in hard and sinfonia because, I did have them DSd before but they felt weird to me and I recently figured out why; if I DS them there still wont be any emphasize on the strong beat on the last circle because the spacing between the slider and the circle prior is the same. So there is actually less emphasize on the strong beat if I DS it which makes it play weird, so I just stacked it to put the emphasize on the spinner follow up which plays better imo

regarding the weird NCs: I Likely NCd certain patterns that stick out or differences in vocals which seem to break the usual NC patterns. Its what I generally tend to do while mapping but I fixed them all
Thank you!

Heyo!~

NM from my Q

  • General
  1. maybe finish normal diff like hard and last diff? because bpm don't look similar: normal and hard
  • Normal
  1. 00:22:594 (2,3) - imperfect blanket (i don't know if that's the point)
  2. 02:35:879 (2,1) - this overlap doesn't look nice imo i suggest maybe at x:74 y:126
  3. 02:38:451 (2,1) - :/ https://puu.sh/xes29/67073b1b77.png
  4. 03:08:451 (1) - idk if this spinner is too short for newbies maybe if it's fine it's okay but if it's not good i suggest to enlarge it until 03:11:022
  5. 04:02:558 (1,1) - same here ^
  6. 04:24:737 (3,2) - stack them?
  • Hard
  1. 04:01:165 (3,4,5) - i don't think this overlap is necessary here
  • Sinfonia
  1. 00:14:237 (2,3) - better stacking?
  2. 03:05:987 (1,1,1,1,1) - why this is not similar as 04:02:558 (1,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - i think you can emphasis the 1st part before the break
  3. 03:47:022 (1,4) - better stack on sliders tails

Normal
01:46:272 (1) and 04:02:558 (1) mapped differently?
04:34:594 (3,4,5) wide angle plus only used once. I'm not quite comfortable w/ this.

Sinfonia
01:34:379 (3,4,5,6,7) drum 03:23:022 (4,5,6,7) no sound but same pattern 03:50:879 (4) drum but no pattern?
03:49:165 (6,7) maybe have larger space before 7 than 6.

due to this song being >5min long Im not actually obligated to have more than 1 diff. If the song itself would call for something more difficult than my current top diff Id go at it but dont think I can make something more challenging without it overshadowing the song, glad to hear you like it though!

Meta checks out.
05:05:498 (1) - i think these long sliders are fine with muted slider ticks and slide as the vocals are pretty constant and clean. If you want you could add for just this slider the following quieter soft-sliderslide https://puu.sh/AaUe3/4ecd143417.wav

Sinfonia

01:24:951 (1,2,3,1) - This felt kinda excessive. You think you could nerf it a bit? Like reduce 01:25:379 (3,1) - /move 01:25:379 (3) - to 224|64
01:34:594 (4,5,6) - ctrl+g the rhythm ? I know you follow the vocals but the slider ends weird on a the first drum. Followed by the second drum on first of the two following circles.
03:41:022 (1,2,3) - space these more out like 01:24:951 (1,2,3,1) -
04:30:308 (6) - Have you considered putting this liek so https://puu.sh/AaSKx/911f7207ae.jpg . it looks a bit too close to 04:29:451 (4) - making the pattern looks kinda crammed even tho 04:29:451 (4,5) - are pretty space-y and free-y kinda.


hard

01:20:237 (5,6) - let this stack in the direction of the slider just like 00:30:737 (4,5,6) - (in other words custom stack it)
01:30:737 (1,2,3,4,5,1) - pretty packed but ok

hi vell

normal -

I think this diff is designed kinda poorly, usually for low diffs you want the SV and DS to be kinda similar, closer to between .8 and 1.3 than stuff like 2.0 or 1.7 like you use a lot of. This is so the movement between objects can match the slider velocity so the movement is cohesive. It's even in the ranking criteria here: https://puu.sh/ACJXh/72eb148669.png. The best way to fix this is to increase the SV, but that does require a lot of work...

the sections with 1.5 DS are actually pretty fine (so the choruses) but the ones that go higher start to feel kinda awkward. I guess its your call on this one since it is a marathon normal (i'd care more if it was a required diff for the spread)


edit - actually changed my mind on this guess its fine

i dont think the current sv/ds settings are an issue, it's actually pretty comfortable for this song's slower pacing. you can watch the 1 replay from the 1 normal-level player that's played this and they dont have any issue lol hobs

lol, ya I didnt see any issue with it either, I always testplay low diffs with mouse cause I suck with it and I felt the movement was as natural as needed to be

great job on the map vell!
brought unique ideas that usual 3 star maps don't really have, the last part with the short sliders and the long one was really cool!
