00:20:553 (6,1) - Make it clearer that this is a 1/2 beat gap with small spacing
00:21:753 (1,2,3) - I don’t think the first note should be put on a sliderend, this way would be intuitive:
In general, try to stick with the pattern of 1/1 gaps having small spacing and 1/2 gaps having large spacing for the quiet sections, otherwise the entire section will be hard to read.
Especially make 00:22:782 (4,1) - and 00:34:096 (1,2) - close, after that players can learn the rhythm so it’s less of a problem
00:23:982 (1,2,4) - stack sliderend of 1 on top of 2
00:31:525 (4,2) - move these farther away from others
00:41:296 (6) - I don’t see what the purpose of this is, I think special slider shapes should be reserved for special sounds, and others can use straight sliders or ones with a red anchor
Actually 00:41:125 (5) - is probably deserving of something special, to contrast with 00:46:610 (5) -, which is more dull
00:49:696 (1) - Make the slider vibrate around 00:50:725 -, because the sound vibrates
(By the way I like the shapes of your long sliders)
00:56:896 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - just pointing out that of these drums, there is a high pitched electric drum-like sound on 00:56:896 (1) -, 00:57:925 (2) -, 00:58:610 (2) - start and end, 00:58:953 (1) - end, and 00:59:639 (1) - start. There is a bass every beat, but this is too much to not map
01:01:010 (3,6) - NC here instead
01:07:525 (8,9,1) - I like this as a 5 note stream instead
01:13:353 (1,2,3) - I like this pattern, but it’s pretty confusing (I died the first time), so this is more intuitive while also preserving the music:
I don’t really have a preference for either one, plus it’s your choice
01:23:982 (1) - could be a low SV 3/4 beat slider
01:25:267 (4,5) - These stack into the slider body
01:27:410 (2) - ^
01:27:925 (4,5) - Works better as 1/4 slider
01:33:925 (1,2,3,4) - Stack 1,2 and 3,4
01:39:925 (2,3) - These sounds start appearing at 01:38:039 (1) -, you should map them all
01:47:810 (2,4) - You use a partial overlap each time, but the amount that it’s overlapped is inconsistent
01:58:439 (8) - and 02:01:182 (8) - You should really map the piano lines starting here as streams since these piano lines are high-pitched; it contrasts with previous section
01:59:982 (1,2) - I also don’t like this, especially if you use the original pattern from 01:13:353 (1,2,3) -
02:04:096 (1,1) - Why are these two in the same direction?
02:06:153 (1) - I think this should have SV multiplier 1 or 0.75, not 1.5; I don’t see the difference between this and 02:05:467 (1) -
02:07:182 (4) - This beat is quiet, and there is a sound on the sliderend
02:12:239 (2,3,4) - Make 2 to 3 closer than 3 to 4
02:18:153 (6,1) - Replace these two notes with a 1/2 slider because drums start on the 2
02:27:410 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - There’s a drumbeat going on similar to 02:23:639 (4,5,6,7) -, so having 02:27:839 - be on a sliderend is bad
02:28:782 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - Also I think these work better as jumps, because I misread as spaced 1/4 triples; something like this:
I think these are more recognizable as 1/3 at 175 bpm than spaced linear taps, especially because the next section has 1/4 gaps that are even more spaced
02:35:983 (5,6,7) - I suggest replacing each of these with 2 1/4 sliders
In this section with the 1/4 jumps, I suggest not stacking the first 1/4 under the sliderend (02:42:753 (2) - for example) because it creates a stopping motion that doesn’t really fit, and is also very confusing to play.
Also, I suggest a NC every 2 beats instead of every measure in this section, because it is one of the hardest sections, so players need a boost compared to the rest of the map. (Also I like short combos better
)
02:49:353 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,1) - What justifies having 1/4 taps at all between these sliders? The only ones that I hear are 02:49:610 (2) - and 02:50:981 (2) -. Even if there are really quiet sounds on the others, emphasize these two by making the others have smaller spacing.
02:58:782 (7,8,1) - and 02:59:639 (4,5,6) - I think these two triples shouldn’t be stacked
03:02:039 (2,3,4,1,2) - Swap the circle and the 1/4 slider, like this: (NC on the 1/4 slider too)
Also don’t make 2,3,4 overlap, it might be misleading
Same for the second kiai section, NC every two beats
This section felt a bit off, and when I listened closer, the two sounds that the triples (03:06:325 (3,4,5) - for example) were mapped to were actually on blue ticks. To keep up the intensity of the section, I would just suggest adding a note 1/4 before each triple that is mapped to this noise.
Actually, this applies to every triple until 03:18:667 (3,4,5) -
03:13:439 (3) - Don’t make this completely on top of 03:12:925 (1) -
03:18:839 (5,6,7) - Either make it like this:
Or add a note on the red tick at the end of 5, either one works.
03:21:239 (1) - Change to a stream, also connect the stream to 03:20:896 (1) -, since the sound starts on the blue tick right before.
03:55:696 (3) - and all similar cases: Turn this into a 1/4 slider (and increase SV on those)
03:57:517 (1,2,1,1) - These snappings are 3/16 of a beat off, and for 04:02:982 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - you’re using 1/12 grey ticks. If this is unintentional, fix it, and if not, then get someone to time this section for you, don’t just snap to the nearest 1/16th note. (To be honest, I don’t get what’s going on with the rhythm here either)
04:14:725 (2,2,2,2) - Replace these four with two 1/4 beat sliders instead
04:24:839 (6) - There should not be an object here, and I would suggest objects on 04:24:667 - and 04:24:925 -
For this last kiai: something is seriously wrong with the star rating system; only 5.55*? what
04:33:582 (1,2,3) - For all of these patterns, make sure the gap between 1 and 2 is still significantly smaller than from 2 to 3.
04:36:925 (4) - Make this between the 3 and the 1 instead
04:47:896 (4) - ^, and make the gaps smaller
04:52:782 (1,2,1,1,1,1,2) - This rhythm will basically be unreadable no matter what you do, but this is the closest it gets, I think: change 04:53:296 (1) - to a 1/4 slider, and group the combos like 1,2,3,1,2,3,4
04:53:896 (1,2) - Also don’t make these spaced, it’s confusing
05:01:010 (1,2) - Make 1 point upwards, and move 2 to the bottom of the screen for emphasis
05:08:896 (6,7) - Make these 1/4 sliders instead
05:38:039 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - This is also really easily misread as just a spaced stream; adding NC on the 4 would help, but the best way is really to make these jumps like 02:28:782 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - but maybe more intense?
(Just my 2cents tbh)
