Hihi~ From my queue

[DDDoni]
00:12:379 (37,41) - Ctrl+G these two as it fits in better with the music gonna keep this for now as I feel the background sounds justify it
00:17:769 (65,70) - ^ since I went with a k k at 00:16:590 (58,59) - I think it's fine to do the same at 00:17:601 - since there's barely any difference in the sound
00:42:950 (141,142) - Ctrl+G this as this fits in with what you have done later in the map at 01:04:426 done, love me some consistency
00:45:729 (153,154) - Ctrl+G this as there is a higher note on 00:45:898 reluctantly changed
01:07:289 (9,10) - ^ again reluctantly changed
01:13:016 (30) - Change this to a kat as the music rises in pitch here nice catch, changed
01:23:291 (95) - Change this to a kat changed
01:23:459 (96) - Change this to a donchanged

Good luck with rank~!!

00:13:727 (30,31) - Ctrl+G this as the high note is on 00:13:895 rather than 00:13:727 ok
00:15:243 (36) - Change this to a don as there is a low sound here ok
00:49:940 (13) - Change this to a don as the music is lower ok
00:51:962 (18) - Change this to a kat as it has the same sound as 00:52:130 changed
00:53:478 - Add a kat here just like you have done at 00:31:918 yup
01:50:409 (70) - Change this to a kat as it has the same sound as 01:50:240 nice

Good luck with rank~!! I remapped 00:13:727 - 00:15:243 a bit with your ideas in mind thanks !

--> I would suggest changing the slider velocity to 1.4 as this isn't a really fast song 1.4 puts the notes too far away imo, no change
--> Also add 'uga' to your tags as they conflict with the other two diffs this should actually be removed on the other diffs
00:12:885 (21) - Change this to a don as it has the same sound as the two notes before this the reason it's a kat is cause of the synth that starts at 00:10:863 - keeping it like before
00:42:866 - Add a don here as there is a strong sound here the reason I didn't add anything here is for difficulty purposes, but I suppose it's fine
01:04:426 - Same as ^ changed
01:25:986 - ^ made this a kat instead

Good luck with rank~!!

Hello from my modding queue! Sorry it took so long... No worries, I'm happy it's here no matter how long it took

Actually, the map is really fun to play ^^ But, i couldn't hear the hitsounds properly. Maybe it was on purpose, but changing the main volume to %90 or %95 is better. More importantly at the chorus part. Thank you! Changed to 80% as I feel anything higher would overpower the music

00:23:833 (11,12) - ctrl + g looks good, changed.
00:27:370 (26) - k nice work catching that , changed.
00:42:529 (136,137,138,139,140,141,142,143) - ddkkddkk because the drum sounds are exactly fit with this pattern. for the last part of that pattern I wanted to go with the tone of the drums for more complex play, I've compromised by changing it into ddkdkdkkd because I agree with 137 definitely being a d sound
00:43:877 (146) - k because the background notes are pitching up and if you followed the main sound then the notes is the same with 00:43:708 (145) - this.
01:09:647 (17) - k I the tones of these are very subjective. I personally hear a pretty clear "high-low" theme, but that can differ depending on who's listening.
01:31:628 - Consider increasing the SV smoothly, not suddenly. Imo it feels weird. Done, good tip
01:34:323 - add k
01:45:103 - ^ leaving these two unchanged as I feel it disrupts the subtle "1-2-triple" theme

Hope this helps, good luck~

  Volume
  
  Sooo... I know frukoyurdakul has already given you his opinion on the subject of volume. I can help but insist D: Volume works fine for the kantan and futsuu difficulties because note density isn't as high, but, For DDDoni, I would increase it a bit for, at the very least, the kiais. The song would benefit greatly from that, even if it's just the kiais.
  
  Speaking of which: Spread. You should really add a muzu or a nerfed oni. The jump in difficulty from futsuu to DDDoni is far too big. What I'm pointing out here is a guideline and not a rule, true, but do consider that if most maps were ranked with that spread, climbing in skill would be unnecessarily difficult.

That being said, I have no issue with sound placement/pattern building on DDDoni. However, I wouldn't rule out smoothening a bit the transition from higher to lower sv here: 02:06:410 (339,340,341,342,343) made the ending as smooth as I could

Good luck getting it ranked!Thank you!!

Here's the mod you requested in my modding queue!

• 00:12:885 (21) – Why is this a Kat? I think it should be a Don, to keep consistency.
  00:41:855 (74) – I think this should be a Finish.
  00:43:877 (78) – I think this should be a Don, because the pitch is lower.
  NOTE: I think you’re mapping the backtrack?? That’s where the notes apply most. I think you should map the most prominent track, which are the higher-pitched notes. It’s more recognizable. If I couldn’t get it right away, I doubt a new player would
  00:44:550 (79,80,81) – I think this should be DDK instead of KKD.
  00:46:572 (83) - I think this should be a Don, because the pitch is lower.
  00:47:245 (84) - ^^
  00:49:267 (88) - ^^
  00:49:940 (89,90,91) – This should be DDK instead of KKD.
  00:51:288 (92,93) – These should be switched because if you applied the change above, the first one is about the same pitch so it should also be a Kat, and the last one is a pitch lower so it should be a Don.
  01:03:415 (115) – Add a Finish.
  01:04:763 – Respective changes should also apply here.
  01:15:543 – Kiai should be here also, because it’s as intense (if not more) than the 2 previous kiai’s. End the kiai at 01:26:322 -
  01:24:975 (156) – Add a Finish.
  01:25:986 (158,159) – These should be Finishes as well.
  01:26:322 – I think this part should be a spinner, up until 01:29:691 – so that you can keep the glitch stuff (for lack of better word) at the end. Like in Futsuu
  01:31:039 (167) – It’s kind of weird to start with a Don like that, especially since the majority of the time, you’re starting with Kats. Maybe you could change it to KDKK? Or maybe KDDK? I’m not sure. Just pointing that out.
  01:48:893 – There’s an important sound here you’re missing. Add a Kat.

• 00:02:779 – to 00:10:190 – I’m not sure what track you’re mapping? This could be confusing. Please change by sticking to one that’s clearer, like the KKK DDD KKK DDD track.
  00:10:863 – to 00:21:306 – That’s a lot of intensity added for a part that doesn’t differ from the beginning. That sort of intensity in a Futsuu would be used for a chorus. Revert back to how the beginning is mapped.
  00:21:643 – to 00:26:865 - I think this could use a pattern change. Because I’m too lazy to screenshot or make a list of every single change, here’s what I’m going to do: K’s are Kats. D’s are Dons. =’s are 1 tick spaces. This should be applied in 1/2 beat division. Okay? So this is what I think it should be:
  D==KK=D=K=D=K=KKK==DK=D=K=D=K=KKK
  I think it sounds better, increases the intensity but gradually, flows a little better, and overall is pretty cool to play. Plus, it’s pretty easy for newer players to read and interpret
  00:27:538 (20) – I think this should be a Don.
  00:49:940 (11) - ^^, for pitching purposes.
  00:50:951 – I think you should add a Kat here.
  00:52:130 (17) – Change to Don for pitching purposes.
  00:52:467 – Add a Don.
  01:04:763 – Respective changes should go here.
  01:15:206 – and 01:15:374 – Add a Kat.
  01:15:543 – Kiai should be here also, because it’s as intense (if not more) than the 2 previous kiai’s. End the kiai at 01:26:322 -
  01:30:365 (1,2,3,4,5) – K K KDK sounds better to me.
  02:14:158 (15) – This should be a Don because it’s the same as 02:11:463 (10) -

Great song, great map! Good luck with ranking, I hope all goes well!

Plus, it’s pretty easy for newer players to read and interpret I didnt agree with the KKK change because the last part sounds lower and dk doesnt flow well the the keyboard imo
  
  00:27:538 (20) – I think this should be a Don. Not consistent with my first part
  
  00:49:940 (11) - ^^, for pitching purposes.ok changed
  
  00:50:951 – I think you should add a Kat here. It sounds fine but I think futsuu players coould use the break. Also gives more empahise to the next note if i don't map anything here
  
  00:52:130 (17) – Change to Don for pitching purposes.
  ^ Look at my comments above

  02:14:158 (15) – This should be a Don because it’s the same as 02:11:463 (10) - I think it sounds fine. These two notes sound slightly different

00:03:115 (2) - I think you can changue it to kat, this isnt hard to learn and sounds better, and you are using 1/1 diferent colours here 00:14:906 (24,25,26) -
00:08:505 (12) - ^ I disagree with it sounding better, it makes sense with the most audible synth but it sounds ugly to me with the actual song
00:17:601 (29,30) - This sounds better with kats pretty much the same as above
01:03:415 (115) - You can changue it to K I would, but it doesn't work well with the SV and makes it look bad cause of that imo

2. 00:20:970 - This sounds like a good place to change the don to a kat, there's an instrument that "pops" up and down and here it sounds like an up, where on the next note it sounds like a down, which is more appropriate for the don.
3. 00:25:686 - I like k d k k d d k better than k k d k d k d especially because 00:26:696 ends on a higher pitch than the rest of this pattern riff, so at minimum it should end with a kat as oppose to a don.

Metadata

My understanding is that this is the music from an animation called ukigumo created by someone named DDDot with music by Hige Driver? In that case, the source should be ukigumo (same as the title) and DDDot should be moved to the tags. Not sure about this but it sounds reasonable.

General

DDDoni and Jona's Oni have different preview points to the rest of the diffs. Fixed

DDDoni

You could break up the 1/2 patterns at 00:16:201 and 00:18:896 a bit. As is, the drums kicking in at 00:21:591 come with a weird drop in density which makes the transition between these parts a little awkward. split it up a bit, should be better now.

I find 00:36:245 (82,83,84,85,86,87,88) pretty unintuitive to play. As well as the placement being a little strange, this is the longest pattern you've used in this section (not including the ending stream), but there isn't really anything that distinguishes this part of the music from the rest. I suggest maybe removing 00:36:329 (83) - which makes this a lot nicer to play imo. Nice suggestion, deleted 83 and change 82 to a d for flow

I have similar concerns about 00:57:805 (216,217,218,219,220) and 01:00:500 (237,238,239,240,241). The patterns for these aren't too bad but I think the placements make them feel quite strange to play. You could try a similar change to what I said above by removing 01:00:584 (238) and 00:57:889 (217). deleted 217 and changed the quint after the one you mentioned, cause I think the first one is fine as is.

Again, I have a similar concern about 01:36:882 (69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77) - Here, you have a really strong sound starting at 01:37:050, so I think it makes a lot more sense to have the stream start here, rather than the strong sound being part way through the stream. Again, I suggest removing the second note - 01:36:966 (70). The same applies for 01:42:272 (113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121). I'd really like to keep these due to the heavy 1/4 sounds leading up to the strong sounds you mentioned. So I'll have to decline for now.

The SV drop at 02:05:853 goes a little too quickly. Given that the intensity of the music doesn't drop until 02:06:695, having a large, sudden SV drop over such a short period of time is a little jarring. You could try spreading it out a bit over 02:05:853 - 02:09:390. It started increasing on the strong 1/4 beats so I felt it should start decreasing on the super strong 1/4 beats too. I'll keep it as is for now but I'll change it if more people want me to.

gl Thanks
