1. The "Who... Is she?" diff has suppressed sounds/sliders at the end, whereas in the Easy diff, they're not. Please make these the same/equalize both diffs to have sound suppression at the end :c could've sworn i did this haha
2. BG is 700x599, which is different from the recommended 1024x768 ;-; i don't think it's necessarily that big of a deal
3. Easy diff doesn't have the same tags as "Who... Is she?"/Normal diff; add Normal diff's tags to Easy's.silly me xd

[ Easy]

1. 00:12:755 (1,2) - Weird spacing between these two? don't see a huge problem with it
2. 00:19:155 (1) - Move to x:284|y:239 fixed
3. 00:44:755 (1) - Move lower so no touch with 00:43:155 (2) - this please ;w; just going with distance spacing, i'll change if i get more complaints

ok, here is the mod!! sorry it took so long :/ no don't worry it's fine :]

[ Easy]

1. ok there is only one thing I find a problem in the map, and it is the spacing. easy diffs need consistent spacing, and some parts (00:19:155 (1,2,3,1) - 00:33:555 (2,3,1) - 00:44:755 (1,2,3,1,2)) you made much larger than 0.8x which is what you used mostly. that's all with the easy diff though fixed

[ Who... Is she?]

1. 00:41:555 (3,4) - why is the spacing so low between these 2 notes? fixed
2. 00:14:155 (2,1) - the claps in this diff don't sound very good imo. what I would do is put a clap on every 2nd beat (I prefer soft clap, but normal I guess works as well). so like for example there would be one on the sliderend of 00:12:755 (1), one on the end of 00:15:955 (3), and one on the end of 00:15:155 (2) (the claps on the slow sliders like 00:18:355 (1) sound nice though, but I would suggest make them soft clap) i'll be honest i don't like this hitsounding idea that much, different strokes for different folks i suppose haha

sorry about (very) short mod, couldn't find much xD

good luck ranking your map thank you so much!

General:

While you have met the minimum drain time requirement of 30 seconds, I'd still suggest you map the beginning of the map as well. It's generally not advisable to cut the run time of an already short track, esp. if it's under a minute long, and having a 12-second intro in a 50 second track, when it does have beats, just seems a bit on the lazy side. If you're worried it won't leave enough time for a player to prepare, you can just add a few seconds of silence to the music file. I would totally map the beginning of the song, but as I said before, there is no good place to start the map. The beginning starts very faint and at an almost random section (at least that's what it sounds like). Also, the beats in the beginning are inconvenient to start out from, because of the beginning starting from a random-ish starting spot. I hate not being able to map the beginning, but it really doesn't have a good starting point. Thanks for pointing this out in more detail though, because I wanted to address this.

There's also an unused SB folder. Are you planning to add a storyboard, or are those unnecessary leftovers? In the latter case, you should clean those up. I might be using this soon

Easy:

The first thing that caught my eye was distance spacing. In Easy difficulties it's better to avoid overlapping notes, esp. in places like 00:34:355(2)
(https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/5878726) where a half of the circle is covered by a slider. I suggest a distance snap of at least 1.1x for minimal overlapping. If I get more complaints about this I might change this. I was just following the distance snap and I don't think as of now that it is necessary to change the entire distance of the map due to something slightly overlapping. Especially since the circles aren't overlapped that much in my opinion and could easily be hit by new players playing this map.

Also, maybe more of a nitpick, but the combos every two-tree notes, considering the low HP drain, aren't very necessary. Using 4-5 length combos like this (https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/5878772) would make more sense in my opinion, and would still be in line with the music. Typically in any map, you only want to nc a note when theres either an sv change, or a large white tick (I forgot what it is called specifically). These rules apply even more in an easy difficulty.

Who... Is she?:

Before going into the specifics here, I'd like to ask whether this was meant as a Normal difficulty, or "just another random difficulty besides Easy", because the star rating, short combos, and the difficulty settings suggest a Normal difficulty, while the inconsistent distance snapping and jumps would be more appropriate for Hard/Insane. I was mainly thinking of a diff sort of in-between normal and hard. I knew it would end up as a normal difficulty though, so I set the difficulty settings as if it was a normal map.

Hello~ M4M from my queue in-game

Turn widescreen support off in all difficulties since you do not have a storyboard. I'm gonna have a storyboard soon enough
The background should be 4:3, the current one is not, I suggest you search for a better source that is 1366x768 which is highly recommended. i'll check with maybe a bn or someone that can tel lme if the bg will really affect ranking this map
The bitrate of the mp3 is 128kbps which is fine, but if you can, you can search for one that has a bitrate of 192kbps which would increase the audio quality. The actual mp3 of this map was too high quality and this is the next best thing i could find, i'll put a dl link of the higher quality mp3

Easy

1. I think the cut is just way too abrupt, you may have to tweak this in order to get ranked fairly sure the drain time is enough for ranking
2. There's just too many overlaps which is not good on a easy difficulty, how about increasing the DS so the objects don't overlap? fixed, but notes are very very slightly overlapping still
3. 00:17:555 (2) - Okay so like this is the only one with the clap on the end of the slider, you can clearly hear the other claps on the end of 00:12:755 (1,2,1) - these three sliders cause that would sound much better and the volume seems to be a bit too loud, you can try 30~40% because the clap seemed to be taking over i tried this and i really did not like the way it sounded, sorry
4. 00:22:355 (1) - The hitsound on the head of the slider sounds really awkward with the song, personally I would not put that as the hitsound. fixed
5. 00:30:355 (2) - There really isn't a sound on the end of this slider, just make it a 1/2 to follow drums or a 3/4 to follow instrumentals. 1/2 highly recommended. i just made the slider end have a really low hitsound so kinda fixed????? xd
6. 00:31:955 (1) - Umm from this part, the song is not different than the first part in anyway, I don't see a point of putting a kiai there because the two parts are so similar (maybe even the same) and for such a short and calm song, I don't think the kiai is particularly necessary. the kiai is supposed to amplify??? (ii can't find the right word) how the music abruptly starts again

Normal

1. I really can't find the base spacing, majority of the spacing is random and yeah, not that great for a normal difficulty. I do get that this is supposed to be a custom diff but you should definitely follow the normal difficulty guidelines. this isn't really supposed to be a normal diff, but if i get more complaints then i'll see what i can do to make it more fitting
2. 00:11:155 (1,2) - There are absolutely NO sounds that support this. this is a definite subjective thing that people will have their own thoughts about, but having no repeat sliders sounds and looks so bad to me like i can't handle it, also i would say it definitely fits in some way so i don't think its necessary to change
3. 00:11:955 (1) - Is the SV change really necessary? I really don't think so because the instrumentals flow smoothly with the next set of sliders which would mean that they should be more similar to each other, not different. the violin's pitch and volume become lower on those slow sliders and thats why i chose to lower sv
4. 00:14:355 (1) - The clap here should be on the 2nd and 4th downbeats (white lines) because this part would be the bass drum. i really don't like the way it sounds
5. 00:17:555 (1,2) - fix everything you made like this triggered
6. 00:18:355 (1) - same thing above and with the rest of the sliders you made like this triggered
7. 00:31:155 (1) - This may be okay for it because the middle is actually silenced which is abrupt and different. This seems fine to me. :]
8. Again, the kiai seems inappropriate to me due to the sections repeating. Which would mean you will have to use 1.2 sv on that part too same reason as easy diff
   
   Okay, so in terms of consistency and structure is fine, only problem is that some parts aren't mapped the way it is supposed to, mentioning the 1/3 repeat sliders and the poor use of velocity change. Other than that, I think you should get just a few more mods and start looking for a bn. (I'll check again if I passed the bn test I wish the best!)

Good luck

I've listened to this several times and all these notes excluding the last one have the same problem, their timings are slightly off. You should move them 1 line forward. As for the last section, the music is too soft and therefore I doesn't seem right to add any beats whatsoever, but rather I feel like adding a spinner would be great. That's about it.

1. 00:31:955 (1) - Flip this so that the tail points up, as it is right now it gives the impression that the flow is going to go down, but then the player has to move up. This would work in a harder diff, but not in Easy

I edited your images and bg to make them standard size, it makes my life storyboarding a whole lot easier. The black.png isn't there because you can just fade out your images to get the same effect and save a little bit on file space. Everything that doesn't need to have transparency has been converted to .jpg to again save on file space

There's a higher quality mp3 (192kbps) in there that I got from the album since yours was only 128kbps, the offset has probably changed so be aware of that

1. Maybe consider enabling the epilepsy warning as the storyboard does flash whoops i thought i did this
2. 00:13:595 - It would be nice if the drum sounds at these ticks were hitsounded with, for example, the drum whistle, or even a lowered volume clap? fixed because this has been said before
3. 00:31:995 (1,2) - inconsistent DS fixed
4. 00:27:195 (2) - This slider looks out of place for some reason... Maybe because it's overlap with slider 1 is the only overlap where the slider ends do not overlap? I would recommend keeping the same overlap style as 00:14:395 (2,1) - for consistency sake fixed
5. 00:31:995 (1) - Would move a little bit more to the left so it looks more even between 00:30:395 (2,1) - . When I rotate it so slider 2 is flat, slider 1 isn't moved over to the left a bit more

[Who... is she?]

1. Same thing about the epilepsy warning and the drum sounds same as easy diff
2. The spacing seems to be a bit wacky on this difficulty... e.g. from the placement at 00:12:795 (1,2,1,2,3) - , I assume you increase spacing with each slider, but that changes at 00:19:195 (1,2,1,2,3) - so it stays the same I tried to make everything seem a bit more consitently spaced with the music
3. Another spacing thing I find inconsistent is that 00:12:795 (1,2,1) - and 00:25:595 (1,2,1) - both follow the same music piece but have different spacings for both. The difficulty is rather short, so consistency is a rather important for the difficulty to make sense. ^
4. 00:43:995 (1,1) - This spacing is rather large compared to all the other ones (also considering this is close to the end of the difficulty). I suggest lowering the spacingfixed
5. 00:41:595 (3) - This slider is just so long and plain, maybe make it an s slider? I like the long slider personally and i'm not the hugest fan of the S slider

Hi from #modreqs

Since i've seen that the mapset is alright in it's acutal status, there's pretty much nothing important to do imo (well, short song, 1.79 stars diff max so it is )

I will suggest those things:

Put the Timing point at the first note, there's no reason to put it at the start (00.00.000) when the map starts at 00:12:795 at the Easy diff and at 00:11:195 at the Who... Is she
(Maybe put it on 00:11:195 since it has to be the same for both diffs) i would much rather have it at the start instead because it's simple for me, maybe if i get more complaints i'll change


Who...Is She:

00:28:795 (3) - Maybe make the last part of this slider parallel with 00:27:995 (2) - something like this: already blanketing so i don't think its necessary

-

00:44:795 (1) - Same here:this one looks weird flowing into the next sliders imo

-

00:47:995 (3) - And maybe move this slider so it doesn't overlap with 00:46:261 (2,1) - fixed



Well, that's all i can say ahah, the last thing i have to do is to say Good Luck with ranking!

To clear things up that I read in some of the previous mods: There are no such strict rules about spacing for lower (Easy-)diffs - Your spacing should of course be understandable and avoid confusion, which is why the guideline exists, but it is still totally allowed to slightly alter the spacing by a bit to emphasize certain things, as long as it is systematic and not confusing - For example, you might as well space those major downbeats like 00:17:595 (2,1) - 00:23:995 (2,1) - etc with x1,1 instead of x1,0 because that would not be confusing at all since the rhythm is very simple and even beginners are able to move their mouse faster than the standard SV ^^ (ofc I don't know how the map was before those mods, I'm just describing an example so there aren't any misconceptions) - Or, for example, you could even make the SV slightly decrease at 00:44:795 (1,2,3,1,2) so it fits with the fade-out, I think this would be a very fitting way to do it, because it would be somewhat noticable at the end, but visually it still looks the same, so it's not confusing at all
2. Also, overlaps like 00:20:795 (2,3,1) in the Easy are no problem at all either, why should they, don't worry ^^
3. Oh and the timing point can stay where it is too, doesn't matter at all
4. I definitely think that you'll need another diff between those two, the higher one essentially uses gameplay-elements that usually only appear in Insane-diffs (major anti-jumps and SV-changes) and there is much room for a diff between that - The Easy uses barely any 1/2s while the higher diff uses a lot of 1/6s and also big 1/6-slider-jumps - If you want, I would like to try a diff between those

1. 00:27:195 (2) - Seems like you forgot to set this one to Drum-sampleset since it's the only slider like that, especially the slider sounds really unfitting ^^

1. Personally I'm not really a big fan of the custom diffname, it's not that catchy / a pain to refer to (hence I always just write "the higher diff") and it kinda destroys the integrity of the mapset bc it looks really weird to me when there are only two diffs, one of them being default and the other one completely custom with no resemblence to anything difficulty-like at all :/
   
2. I really strongly recommend doing that decreasing-SV-thing that I mentioned in the first general post in this diff, it has so many high-level-gameplay-elements that it makes me really wonder why you didn't do that yet, bc it would really fit the song and not be confusing or anything, it would just make the end of the map feel more natural instead of "It's mapped until a certain spot and then ends there", it would make the map fade-out according to the song ^^
   
3. I'm kinda indecisive what to think about the anti-jumps, they feel like a nice gimmick but I don't really see the musical justification for them bc it requires the player to switch between different movement-speeds even though the music stays very continuous, like, the sounds that 00:15:995 (3) is mapped to doesn't end at its tail, the strings continue to hold their note, but the player is basically forced to stay still and I don't see much sense in that
   It also bothers me a bit that they are so inconsistent from each other bc the first one is spaced x1,0 but then the following ones vary seemingly randomly between around x0,5 x0,75 and x0,6; it doesn't make any sense to me and most places don't have any special visual pattern that couldn't have been done with consistent spacing for all of them, or with simply normal spacing at the other end of the slider (what I mean by that is that for example 00:19:195 (1,2,1) might as well be mapped like this etc)
   
4. Also I don't really see why you overmap the tails of 00:15:195 (2) - 00:27:995 (2) by letting them end on the red tick instead of ending them according to the rhythm of the song ( = 1/4 later at the blue tick), the song is already pretty monotonous so if I were you I'd use every opportunity to create a bit more variety instead of making the map's rhythms more monotonous than the song ^^
   
5. Starting the diff so early seems actually rather random again even though you probably wanted to avoid that, I feel like just starting it on the downbeat would feel more natural, but ofc that's just a matter of taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good idea!
2. Also, overlaps like 00:20:795 (2,3,1) in the Easy are no problem at all either, why should they, don't worry ^^ okay thank god i didn't want to have to change the ds a bunch
3. Oh and the timing point can stay where it is too, doesn't matter at all oh i already retimed it thats probably why it seems correct

Easy

1. 00:27:195 (2) - Seems like you forgot to set this one to Drum-sampleset since it's the only slider like that, especially the slider sounds really unfitting ^^ Whoops.. Fixed!

2. I really strongly recommend doing that decreasing-SV-thing that I mentioned in the first general post in this diff, it has so many high-level-gameplay-elements that it makes me really wonder why you didn't do that yet, bc it would really fit the song and not be confusing or anything, it would just make the end of the map feel more natural instead of "It's mapped until a certain spot and then ends there", it would make the map fade-out according to the song ^^ fixed, but i didn't do the same exact sv changes as the example
   
3. I'm kinda indecisive what to think about the anti-jumps, they feel like a nice gimmick but I don't really see the musical justification for them bc it requires the player to switch between different movement-speeds even though the music stays very continuous, like, the sounds that 00:15:995 (3) is mapped to doesn't end at its tail, the strings continue to hold their note, but the player is basically forced to stay still and I don't see much sense in that

Also, the drum sound at the end of sliders like 00:15:995 (3) - justify where the slider ends nvm fixed what you actually meant lol
   
4. Also I don't really see why you overmap the tails of 00:15:195 (2) - 00:27:995 (2) by letting them end on the red tick instead of ending them according to the rhythm of the song ( = 1/4 later at the blue tick), the song is already pretty monotonous so if I were you I'd use every opportunity to create a bit more variety instead of making the map's rhythms more monotonous than the song ^^ I'll change this if i get more complaints, but for the time being i don't want to have overly long sliders. Also, the sliders snapped to the red tick sounds fine to me... Strange.
   
5. Starting the diff so early seems actually rather random again even though you probably wanted to avoid that, I feel like just starting it on the downbeat would feel more natural, but ofc that's just a matter of taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think this is a matter of preference. While i don't think it's necessary to change, I am open to try changing it if i get more complaints.

Hello!

I made a GD for this map and changed the tags.

Heres a link to this map with my GD. (First delete your set then download my mapset)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ojr4d7trtifl0 ... 9.osz?dl=0

I also fixed the Kiai conflicts.

Thanks and move on with your day!
