Let's see.....

Storyboard
* The keyframe is not snap in ticks. Click Design -> Move elements in time... -> Set to 36ms -> OK Oh god I love you! I hadn't fixed it before because I thought I'd have to do it manually on the .osb :3
Also, congratulations on being the first one to notice~
* It is just me? The black and white BG is suddenly appear in 03:19:103 without fading Yeah... I hadn't noticed because of the spinner. Fixed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normal
* Approach Rate +1? Nah, it's just fine
* I bet that SV is kinda fast for normal diff Mmm I don't think that will affect the difficulty that much, it's easy anyway. Plus... If I lower the SV too much I am afraid that it might become boring.

00:37:285 (2) - Perhaps stack with 00:35:467 (2) to make it neat? Nah, again, it's just fine.
00:46:739 (4) - I really don't like this object was overlapped by slider/circle
00:50:739 (1) - ^ Ah no, I like those beat placings... Those overlaps aren't too masive so please let me keep them :3
01:51:467 (4) - Allign with tail slider? (Nazi) It would kind of break the symemetry I did afterwards... Sorry
02:15:103 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - I think over 7 combos are too high for normal diff..... Ok, NC'd at (5)
02:38:739 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - ^ At (6)
02:50:012 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - ^ At (5)
02:51:467 (3) - Stack with 02:49:649 (8)? Nah
02:55:830 (1) - Too far from spinner, you should make it closer. Otherwise, the noobs will can't reach this object during gameplay But due to the low AR, you see the circle long before the slider ends. So I don't think this is a problem
04:05:285 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - I think over 7 combos are too high for normal diff..... There should have been a NC at (7)
04:59:103 (1,1) - Is that necessary having 2 spinner? Yes, totally. Listen to the vocals: the pitch changes drastically

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Insane
00:44:194 (5) - Not stack perfectly with tail slider Fixed
03:18:558 (1,1) - You better to insert the break here. Otherwise, the Health Bar with drain too much Well RJ told me to remove it... And yeah... I think it's pretty cool to have that without a break, it gives it some little extra difficulty~
04:03:830 (6) - Not stack perfectly with tail slider Ok fixed it a little

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so sorry for long mod! If you think all is useless and too much nazi, I'm veeeery sorry! Don't worry It was a good mod!

I reckon the title should be Kings and Queens. It does look better, and most sources suggest the a shouldn't be capitalised. Ok, enough reasons to change it. Thanks!
It's nearly 2 AM and this storyboard hurt my eyes Oh sorry x.x

Normal:
00:38:740 (4) - Wouldn't stack on the end of sliders like this on the easiest difficulty, sorry. Consider this for other beats stacked on the ends of sliders, I'm tired Ok I removed this one and a few more sliderend stacks.
02:12:558 (5) - New combo this? I could.
In fact, you probably could do with an Easy difficulty. But don't aa-aa-aask me, I'm just a girl with a lot on her plate I guess the Normal is pretty passable D: So I'll keep the current spread, for now.

But if I need one I'll ask you :3

Insane:
00:57:467 (2,3,4,1) - I'd move these closer to the center; I think it plays better as well as looks better. Mmmm I don't really agree. It's already a mini jump and I think that moving it ven further away would be overdoing it :/
01:18:921 (4) - I'd remove this, personally. Especially since you're essentially silencing it anyway But I feel like.. it's needed for the pattern to flow~
01:44:376 (3) - Hmm, if you changed 4 around, you could make this not overlap with the slider. Not a problem~
01:58:376 - Drag the break to here? Why?.w. It's just fine :3
03:24:921 (1) - For effect, I'd start this 1/1 later, and end at the same place. Then I'd have to do it in Normal too, you forgot to mention it before.
03:30:012 (2) - This is a bit awkward. Wh-wha-wha... Why? I don't see anything wrong with this o.o
04:09:285 (1,2,3) - I'd hitsound in some way. (1) has a whistle already, and that's more than enough (I believe)
04:13:285 - This break is kind of unnecessary, in my opinion. Kinda? It's totally unnecessary xD Idk why I hadn't removed it before
04:43:830 etc. - These even more so, they can break the flow at this point. Though that may be the point. I don't know, I'm tired. Mmmm mmmm mmmm.... mmmmmmmmmmmmm can I keep them anyway?

Ponies are awesome. I didn't have the time to say goodnight >.<

bye~~<3

1. I find RJ's starting point to make more sense. Just for consistency, consider changing yours ?
2. Similarly I prefer RJ's kiai times. Having a kiai time right at the beginning is a bit excessive imo.
3. Add "RJ" to the tags of all difficulties.

1. This is rather hard for the easiest diff of the mapset. It is also very uneven, with extremely easy parts, and very difficult ones.
2. I'd reduce the AR and OD settings by one tick because this is the easiest diff of the mapset, and AR4 is quite harsh for that.
3. 00:47:103 (5,1) - Make (5) blanket (1) ?
4. 00:55:103 (3) - Unsymmetrical.
5. 00:57:649 (1,2,3) - This is rather difficult because the 3/2 rhythm isn't really expected, and the beat placement makes the spacing unsure due to the orientation of the repeat slider (which doesn't seem to follow anything).
6. 01:14:012 - The part starting here until kiai time is too hard for the easiest diff of the mapset. It's an endless stream of 1/1 notes with even some 1/2 kick sliders in it, sharp direction changes, long series of notes and stuff.
7. 01:27:103 (3) - This slider itself is a big NO for the easiest diff of the mapset, even for a Normal. You already know what I think about kick sliders. =p
8. 02:16:194 (2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - That's nice, but I think such sharp direction changes would be rather hard for the easiest diff.
9. 02:35:467 (3) - Add a new combo to match the music (new measure) and cut the long combo ?
10. 02:38:739 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - For consistency with the music you're obviously mapping on, the new combos should be 02:39:830 (4,3) -
11. 02:45:649 (3,5,7) - New combo to cut the long combo ?
12. 02:51:103 (2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6) - For consistency, new combos should be 02:51:467 (3,3) -
13. 02:55:830 (1) - It would be a lot better to delete this and make the spinner end here. Right now that part is too hard to play.
14. 03:17:285 (5) - I don't understand why there is a note here at all. It looks bad due to stacking, breaks the symmetry of the pattern, and doesn't seem to match anything in the song.
15. 03:35:467 (2) - Same.
16. 03:39:830 (3,5) - New combos (same reasons as before).
17. 03:58:376 (4) - New combo (same reasons as before).
18. 04:01:285 (3,5,3) - New combo and remove new combo on 04:03:467 (1) -
19. 04:07:103 (3) - New combo
20. 04:11:467 (4) - I don't see why there is a note here. It would make more sense to delete it and start the spinner here.
21. 04:59:103 (1,1) - Make them only one spinner ?

1. This is fine but it's weird. The beginning is way easier than the end, it leaves an inconsistency feeling about the diff...

1. Can't say I agree with the huge deathstream and the slider speed usage...
2. Because the vocals aren't well timed, I think you should reduce OD by one tick to counter this.
3. 00:58:558 (2,3,4,5) - I don't think you should place them like this... The rhythm is confusing here.
4. 02:22:012 (2) - It's better to change this slider's direction because the repeat arrow might appear hidden under (1)'s track.
5. 03:18:558 (1) - Add a break after this spinner.
6. 04:14:012 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) - Such sharp direction changes play horribly bad... Try to make a smoother shape for the stream.

1. I find RJ's starting point to make more sense. Just for consistency, consider changing yours ? Nope. First of all, I like it my way, Secondly, the storyboard helps a little on "making sense" to me.

3. 00:47:103 (5,1) - Make (5) blanket (1) ? Err... That was the idea, but it wasn't properly done.
4. 00:55:103 (3) - Unsymmetrical. Nazi, too nazi. But I made some arrangements.
5. 00:57:649 (1,2,3) - This is rather difficult because the 3/2 rhythm isn't really expected, and the beat placement makes the spacing unsure due to the orientation of the repeat slider (which doesn't seem to follow anything). Kay, now there is a nice slider, very easy to read and very good looking.

14. 03:17:285 (5) - I don't understand why there is a note here at all. It looks bad due to stacking, breaks the symmetry of the pattern, and doesn't seem to match anything in the song. I'll remove it

17. 03:58:376 (4) - New combo (same reasons as before). Ok
18. 04:01:285 (3,5,3) - New combo and remove new combo on 04:03:467 (1) - Added the new combo, but kept the other one. If not, the combo would be way too long.

21. 04:59:103 (1,1) - Make them only one spinner ? Pro tip: Long spinners aren't so easy to play for new players.
    However, I changed this.

Insane

1. Can't say I agree with the huge deathstream and the slider speed usage... I won't change them, sorry
2. Because the vocals aren't well timed, I think you should reduce OD by one tick to counter this. Fair enough
3. 00:58:558 (2,3,4,5) - I don't think you should place them like this... The rhythm is confusing here. Did place it in a different way
4. 02:22:012 (2) - It's better to change this slider's direction because the repeat arrow might appear hidden under (1)'s track. Mmm, I will move it to make it more clearly readable, but I think it would be very easy to see, anyway.
5. 03:18:558 (1) - Add a break after this spinner. Lol, I HAD A BREAK ORIGINALLY, I removed it due to suggestions, and honestly I don't want to add this again :/ Sorry.

01:58:376 - Break should be dragged to here because that's cool and stuff. Then doing it in Insane would be a good idea, too.
02:55:830 (1) - Note comes pretty quickly after a spinner for the easiest difficulty. Just extend the spinner to here instead? Fine

[Insane]
04:30:376 (4) - This note cuts into the HP bar a tiny bit... you could fix it pretty easily so I would advise doing so. Since you're the second one to mention this, I'm gonna have to disobey RJ D: Sorry RJ >.<, now the spinner ends there, with a finish

Nice storyboard, though the SB Load gets a bit high at times (doesn't seem like anything is happening during the second break yet the SB Load is 2) but here's a star. Ah, yeah, I didn't fade the original background. I guess I should do it at some point. But I'm tired right now

When skinning gameplay elements, complete sets of elements must be skinned. For instance, if you skin hitcircles, you must include a hitcircle.png, hitcircleoverlay.png, approachcircle.png, and a slider border color (this can be done by adding the line "SliderBorder: 255,255,255" (using RGB values) under the [Colours] section of each .osu file). The same logic applies to hitbursts, cursors, numbers, and anything else of this nature. If you didn't intend to skin an element in the set, then using the templateskin's version is okay. Setting a SkinPreference is also acceptable (e.g. forcing the default skin).

Hi. no kd. Come ooon, you compressed images for me, that's worth kudosu

You are using a custom hitcircleoverlay. Could you please force an appropriate slider border? Read why here. Sir, I already force a slider border that I find appropriate. Check the .osu files.

It is also in the New Ranking Guidelines (not in effect yet, so it's not absolutely necessary)

Whoever bubbled your map would most likely be happy to rebubble if you fix it, or you can wait for the ranking bat to check it before you fix it. Well, Rukario is a nice guy so I don't think he'd have any problem

[sb]
on the heaven/hell/between images, it's kind of disorienting to have them suddenly appear out of nowhere (no fade in or anything). I think if you fade out from 0.8-0.9 instead of 1.0 it would help. That way you never lose sight of the people in the background. Perhaps you're right. I'll give it a try!
277285 - seems like you're missing a between5 here.
277649 - possibly one here too (for the CTB players) I'll add some, sure!

This folder's size is 11.9 MB, which is greater than the allowed size of 10.0 MB without video.
So I compressed it for you, but I can't do it with those huge png images. Png is lossless, and good for small images or transparency. Jpg images are much smaller, but of slightly lower quality. FYI, you can make an 800x600 jpg, scale it down in osu, and it will be smaller and look better than your 640x480 png. I made these jpgs from your pngs with the following options: quality 95, progressive, no subsampling (best quality). Only gods and cheaters can tell the difference between a well made jpg and a png.
included in the file are both the compressed pngs and jpgs.
http://www.mediafire.com/?t6mfgnx5zw4w7xh

Cool, I replaced them

You might also use a variable bitrate which is always more efficient in terms of quality. 160 kbps VBR will usually sound better than 192 kbps CBR, since the 160 kbps file has a higher bitrate in the busier sections.
Well, I don't know - here too, only Gods and cheaters can tell the difference (well not quiet, but never mind). I think that the mp3 I have now has pretty good quality, so I'm gonna keep it n.n

This map is looooooooong. At just over 5 minutes I was thinking about suggesting to go for approved, even though as far as the map goes I think ranked is best for it. Heh, sorry. When I mapped this long ago, I wasn't aware of the length limit, so I mapped the whole song u.u

First up. after the first 3 notes, the offset goes off, it comes in early, so you need another section there. Add this section:
BPM: 165.00, Offset: 36,209 Oh. Fine

Even though you don't want to map an easy, I really think that Normal is too tough for the easiest difficulty. The spread between the 3 difficulties is good, but it really is screaming out for an easy. I'll gladly map an easy for you if you don't mind (and the song is pretty cool too so it's all good) Well if you don't mind, it would be awesome!

Also, RJ's hard uses tickrate 2, while the other difficulties use tickrate 1. maybe you could set the same tickrate for every difficulty? (I think tickrate 2 works nicely but 1 or 2 works too) Ok, 2 is fine

It's a fun map though. It's nicely made and fun to play. Let me know what you wanna do o/

2. Some hit-sounds suggestions for specific parts of the map. [Insane]
3. Tweaked/re-arranged 2 patterns - [Insane]

1. 02:09:299 (1) - The 2nd repeat-arrow is not exactly hidden by the time the ball reaches it, but I still consider that this kind of stuff shouldn't be used in the easiest diffs. Mainly, because you can't see the repeat when the slider starts, I encourage mappers to keep things clear for these diffs. This can be easily fixed by unstacking the Circle.
