Now, before I get into this long post, I want to make something clear from the
get-go:
I'm all in for suggestion, I appreciate people who take the time to mod my map with the idea to make it better and improve it so it gets to a point for it to be enjoyable, I don't consider the map being "bubbled" as inmunity for more mods, I've been in all situations, several bubble pops, DQ for different reasons, last minute re-works / re-maps and this map has been on modding stage since several months ago, I don't mind waiting more or getting more feedback.
In fact, I was about to let this map wait for 1 month in bubble status before contacting a BN just to see if it would get more feedback during that time, shame this situation had to happen.
Now, to the point, which is this "discussion" with CanadianBaka who has taken this weird personal vendetta againts my map

You shouldn't be changing flows in the middle of a map, deary. I know it may seem fine to you but if you want to change flows then do it in a way that makes sense, not just randomly. I know you can say "I change the flow because of the change of vocals" or whatever crap, but the song is pretty neutral all the way through, if you wanna change flow then have it make sense. If your gonna use circular flow don't change it instantly for near to no reason.
I'm not changing for no reason, I'm tired of telling you this, and I'm tired of seeing you interpreting your forced idea on HOW THIS should be mapped as the "correct one", The map is neutral? Not at all, I don't know which song you're listening, but the entire map is based around how desynced and not on tune Kuroha is singing, when you get here, telling me why I changed flow on 00:08:060 (1,2,3,4,5) - and DS, when she clearly has an higher pitch here is weird for me.
This is the part in effect you're saying the "change of flow doesn't make sense"
This is the part I'm mapping with 1.4 DS
As you can see the pitch still is on the downside, with some low vol sounds happening here
This is with 1.7DS and change of flow
Heavier, more filled on the downside and with stronger upper reach, this is clearly because the voice is stronger and there's also the Synthetizer - added audio later on I use for the jump and change here 00:09:214 (5,1) -
You're telling me that the song is neutral? just WHAT song are you even listening to?
I don't flow change for no reason, the fact that you can't notice the difference between voice pitch in this and other parts, just makes me wonder how much are you really paying attention to this.
Your main excuse overall is "it's ok though" because a BN agrees with the map.
Is not, it was NEVER my main excuse, check my mod answer on :
p/5653178 and
p/5654127 , I told you very clear reasons as to WHY I didn't apply your mods, and you even agreed with me and thanked me for explaining it later on
p/5654319 while mentioning some things like the PP gain of the map and other reasons and things that don't come to the matter, and now, OUT OF SUDDEN, my main reason for denying some of your suggestion was me saying "Sahuang is ok with this so it's fine" ??????? really?
I'm not saying i'm really good at mapping, i'm saying i'm not new and I have the capacity to rank a map.
Let's be serious, which one? the one to send people to fuck off like you has been doing in your maps?
Or the one to delete GD's insulting the mappers who spent their time on them?
Or the one where you straight up told people that you would ignore their mods?
Even Gero has you on his blacklist, GERO, one of the nicest guy of this game (even tho he is very busy ;3 ),many of the nicest guy of this game has tried to help you, and it ended in being a pure drama fest.
You had a MASSIVE amount of help on your maps, I wish I had that when I was starting mapping, and while yes, I did a lot of stupid shit when I was a new years ago and even got mad at a QAT (which I contacted later because I was acting like an stupid fuck) I still managed to rank them.
One last thing: You didn't even reply to my whole mod, why?
Here is my reply

This is what your difficulty lacks in most
00:06:329 (4,3) - the way these 2 overlap after you've just stacked on that note ( 00:05:368 (2,4) - ) Isn't very pleasing They're not stacked because 00:06:521 (1,2,3) - belongs to a different music section than 00:06:329 (4) - , and not only that, but I prefer to keep this pattern going 00:06:521 (1,2,3,4) - with the current natural flow which allows the player to move in the way I intend them to move, something that if I were to 00:06:329 (4,3) - stack these, would end in me re-arranging the pattern which would conflict with the flow, in other words, I preffer gameplay over aesthetic
00:06:521 (1,2) - this can fit into the inconsistency also, but why is 00:06:906 (2) - this pointing straight across from the sliderend but 00:07:675 (5) - this is pointing straight down from the slider before it? Inconsistent, bad aesthetically, and not so good flow. Even if it "plays fine".
Because not only I'm re-positioning the player to fit the flow of the next pattern with this high angle triangle movement http://i.imgur.com/zW7OaG0.png , Is also a very single flow with the most basic shape in mapping, triangles http://i.imgur.com/nD2VuNV.png , these are the most predominant patterns in this map, like on 00:16:521 (3,4,5) - or 00:15:175 (1,2,3) - or 00:08:444 (2,3,4) - , the flow is not bad here, and I'm actually being consistent here with whats on the map.
00:08:060 (1,2,4,5) - Happens with these also
This keep the same idea as before, these are very simple high angle triangles which fit the general idea of the map, and not only that, but this section is also pitch - different from before (check the start of this post for more info) of course is gonna be higher DS - A bit different angle.
00:21:137 (1,3) - these can certainly be stacked, or at least overlapped so that they are actually neat.
Yes and No, Stacked? it was stacked before, but as I said before when you pointed out this, the back and forth movement from 00:21:137 (1,2,3) - can be confusing with this AR, and not only that, but it makes a near triple - like pattern with 00:22:675 (1) - which I agree.
You feel is neat? good, I do too, but I prefer the current arrange based on gameplay reasons and the overal picture of what's being mapper here.
00:25:944 (2,1) - although this overlaps fine, why isn't 00:27:098 (3) - this overlapping also? Bad aesthetically for the most part, but also inconsistent with your other patterns
Because you're not noticing that this pattern 00:26:521 (1,2,3,4,5) - has a much higher pitch that 00:25:944 (2,3) - , the overlap here 00:25:944 (2,1) - happens because of the different on voice pitch on 00:26:137 (3,1) - being higher, and this is not overlapped 00:27:098 (3,4) - because this is exactly the same pitch as 00:26:521 (1,2,3,4,5) - this entire section, so there's no need, I believe I don't have to open FL Studio and take pictures on how diffierent intensity these parts are, as you can hear it by yourself, right?.
.
Now what? you will point out counter arguments on how wrong I'm, or that I should watch Pishifat videos? or simple deny MY REASONS under YOUR REASONS believing your way of mapping is better?
And then I will answer in a circle of amazing irony that will get nowhere?
Is that what you want?
i'm saying why it shouldn't be bubbled, I know your going to say "well Sahuang is better mapper and modder" which si true, but you have to stop that shit. It's very fucking offencive when you say the only reason i'm doing this is because "of what bullshit happened to my map" when really, it's not
And yes, the whole reason i'm writing these mod posts is to stop the progession of the map, not permantly, but until you can fix those problems.
I have nothing against you, your a pretty nice mapper to be honest, but this certain difficulty just seems lazy. I know you can map better, I think we both know, and I think that if you remap the diff (or rework it) it'll be a LOT better!
I will say this as direct as I can, you really believe you're fooling anyone?
You don't have anything againts this map because you're mapping the same song and all?
Let's be grown up here for a moment (actually, how old are you?), I took a break from Osu! and decided to come back after watching this Anime, and while I found it to be very bad, I still found Kuroha to be charming, and I was like "hey! let's map this!" because this was my favorite episode.
I didn't know about your map until you came to mine, right when drama happened on yours and started trying to fit your agenda on mine, while pointing out things like "You should check things in my map" , I decided to answer your mods, meet an agreetment with Sahuang on what things we should fix from your mods and then we update it, then I proceed to contact Sahuang, and how funny? now that is bubbled, you decided to come and POINT MORE STUFF.
Which in a normal situation, I would be OK with them, hell, more feedback to improve the map, what's to hate? I would update it with the good feedback, and then contact Sahuang again and move on! , hell yeah!, but the problem here is that the suggestions you made makes little sense to the point of telling me I should "remap" it. And even more funny is how these came right after even more drama happened in your map, just what a coincidence man! you decided to be the rightful defender which decides to improve the maps so we have better ranked ones in a map of a song you mapped too, tell me, with how many other maps are you doing this?
Oh... wait...
Yeah, that's right
Don't try to mask this with reasons like "I'm doing this because for you!", I'm not that stupid.
I'm someone who takes mapping serious, because I have so little time in my life after work, that I found it to be enjoyable, and a way to still bond with this community, if a mod gets done here that makes me go "Yeah, this is right" , I will change it, learn from it, improve my mapping, like I've been doing, and I made this clear when I accepted several of your suggestion in the last 2 pages because they made sense and were ok and they actually fit my point of view on this song.
I'm all in for suggestion, I always was.
And w/e you answer will get a reply from me on several days, because again, I'm going kinda off from the game, I didn't check osu! in a week and half, and I will continue with my idea of letting it wait for a while, and while I have no issue with this map not getting to ranked, people has whispered me about how much they enjoy it, that's, as a mapper, is amazing, so if after this I get more helpful suggestions, I'm all for it.
I wish I had the chance to talk with you in a more calm way, seeing your maps, you actually have a good sense of mapping, but this has gone in a too personal way.
It's a shame.
Edit: I can't believe I just wrote all this... dear god...
