Fixed! Thank you so much for checking! (I didn't know who to ask...)
Hopefully I didn't mess up something else

Hmm I've been using some online lyrics sources to help me checking this and you can also do it by yourself cuz I'm pointing out some apparent mistakes. Besides those there are also some other differences between the sb and those sources, which imo is not necessary to be mentioned unless you decide to use official ver. lyrics (which I can not find it atm)

Feel free to poke me if u need a std modding

I've tried checking it like that myself but I haven't found any reliable source yet, not to mention I'm always skeptical if I did everything right.
For most of the lyrics I referred to this post with the exception of some missing lines which I tried adding myself and some fixes suggested by -Mo-.

I could actually use a std mod, but I would prefer to get the updates from Hathz for his parts first before any further modding to avoid any potential mixups. If that's okay with you
(Also I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough yet to return a proper mod ._.)

    00:06:818 (4) - I would curve this slightly and then ctrl+j 00:07:329 (6) - that just feels smoother and looks better imo. Something like this https://puu.sh/uEj0q/9b5f4bdc18.png sure

    00:08:181 (1,2) - I feel like these two sliders represent two very different sounds but look the same, from looking how you mapped it before I'd try to curve 00:08:693 (2) - slightly so it feels a bit softer sure

    00:13:636 (1,2) - ^ symmetry is nice and all but doesn't really feel right suuuure

    00:21:136 (2,3) - I would lower the hitsounds on the sliderends slightly sounds a bit weird otherwise yeah

    00:25:227 (3,4) - spacing between these feels kind of odd in this section feels like you have to slow down a lot to hit it, I'm not quite sure why though it might be the shallow angle edited slightly?

    00:31:960 (4) - wouldn't it play better if you remove it and just placed a triple here like this https://puu.sh/uEjAP/1492d38d3d.png no, i think it's fine

    00:32:556 (7,1) - why so low spacing? Honestly, it feels like you could ctrl+g the whole slider at 00:32:727 (1) - and it would be fine edited the part slightly, spacing still low (x

    00:42:975 (3) - I think you should snap this to the white tick since you did it over at 00:53:863 (1) - the thing is, I moved it because it wasn't in line with the vocals, she like slows down or something. will leave it like this for now unless some BN complains

    01:54:545 (1,3) - nazi but just mirror 01:54:545 (1) - and palce it on 01:55:056 (3) - just like you did at 01:55:568 (5,1) - uhm a bit poorly worded? not quite sure what you meant, but changed it a bit to be symmetrical

    02:03:409 (3) - to me sounds like the vocals starts at 02:03:323 - they do but i tried mapping to it and it feels weird to play, i prefer to just have it mapped to the track

    02:06:136 (2) - ctrl+j :thinking: i guess

    02:30:681 (2,3,4,5) - this just doesn't follow the vocal very well at all sounds like it's quite off, idk what I'd do here but vocals definitely aren't snapped accurately as i said before the vocals are a bit weirdly timed, but not sure what exactly to do with this for now. will leave it as it is because it plays okay imo

    03:15:681 (2,3,4,5,1) - Feels pretty messy, overlaps are forced 03:15:852 (3,4) - should have larger spacing between them 03:16:193 (5) - doesn't have a strong beat on it so I'd make it lower spacing edited spacing slightly

    04:12:045 (1) - snapping is off and it makes it sound really weird it's mapped to the vocals, seems okay to me

    04:17:727 (1) - you should probably overlap it with the sliderend of 04:17:386 (4) - for consistency yeah oops

    04:18:750 (4,5) - either make spacing between them bigger or extend 04:18:750 (4) - to the blue tick i don't think it's necessary.

    05:52:500 (1,2) - is the exact same sound/rhythm as 05:51:477 (4,1,2) - yet mapped entierly different fixed

    06:08:181 (1,2) - not quite sure why you went with mapping it in this way since rn the spacing between these notes are much smaller than they are between 06:08:352 (2,3) - and at least from what I hear they're the same importance in the music. I think some kind of polygon pattern would work fine here, something similar to this 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - imo symmetry also implies equal importance

    06:55:909 (1,2) - Feels very weird, I'd ctrl+g the second slider sure

    06:56:590 (3,4) - there sliders also feel a bit weird I'd decrease spacing and once again ctrl+g the second slider i like it this way :3

    07:04:431 (2,1,2) - this pause feels odd, I'd probably make 07:04:431 (2) - into a slider to fix it sure
Thanks!

  1. Muting normal sliderslide?
[Overall]
  1. Sorry if I offended you, but tbh spacing could be improved to me cuz 1) Lack of consistency, which can not be explained as "random style" imo, while the song itself is having some consistentcy within every single section and 2) Seems not having a clear logic which made me a little bit worried.
    I would pointing out some of it as examples.
  2. And due to this, the map is not having a clear structure which limited the impression it brings to player.
[Hathz]
  1. 00:03:238 (2,3) - Personally it would be fine to overlap it since you have 00:00:511 (2,3)
  2. 00:03:579 (3) - would prefer removed for consistency (00:02:215 etc.)
  3. 00:04:090 (5,6,7) - following vocal it would be better by making it hitable instead of put it on slider end - https://puu.sh/uLal0/58c3c39aca.png
  4. 00:06:818 (4,5) - ^ https://puu.sh/uLart/96d7cf4b96.png not gonna repeating similar pattern within this section
  5. 00:08:181 (1,2,3) - Here comes a very harsh spacing changes, a very large jump (comparing to other spacing within the section) while the music itself do not have a harsh change to support it (The music here is almost as same as 00:02:727).
  6. 00:20:454 (5,1,2) - Maybe they do not blanket well with 00:20:454 (5,1) and 00:19:943 (3,4) having different distance while 00:20:454 (5,2) are completely overlapped.
  7. 00:21:818 (1,2,3) - Uneven spacing. With 00:22:500 (3) should not mean to be emphasized, this small distance change would be illegitimate
  8. 00:25:227 (3,4,5) - ^ tho this time 00:25:568 (4) could be emphasized(with snare)
  9. 00:25:738 (5,6,1) - the vocal rhythm issue also appears here
  10. 00:32:386 (6,7,1) - Spacing again. Emphasizing 00:32:556 (7) may not be a very good idea from my own perspective while a shorter distance between 00:32:556 (7,1) seems weird considering 1 on downbeat. Those minor spacing issue keeps appearing which would be a potential problem in further mapping.
  11. 00:33:238 (2,3,4,5) - apparently you are making a square by these notes but maybe they do not fit the music and not flow - 00:33:579 (4) seems not a very good timing to make an anti-flow and should exchange position with 5. However 00:33:238 (2,3) had a larger distance which is not that suitable, and you are having minor spacing issues again on 00:32:727 (1,2,3) orz
  12. 00:38:863 (3) - https://puu.sh/uLNRC/cf9e127506.png
  13. 00:42:975 (3,4) - Unsnapped?
[Kawa]
  1. 01:09:545 (1) - Not consistent with 01:05:965 (2) etc. on the shape of slider.
  2. 01:15:340 (2,3,4) - hmm why uneven distance
  3. 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4) - not a very good flow tbh especially the sharp angle on 01:24:204 (4,1,2)
  4. 01:29:318 (3,4,5,6) - ^
  5. 01:39:545 (1,2,3) - distance
  6. 02:12:784 (3) - ctrl+g flow
  7. 02:19:090 (1,3) - They are not symmetric/in same y axis (conflict with 02:16:363 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4))
  8. 02:32:215 - You could heard vocal singing "Da" on this point so maybe it's not a good idea to use 1 beat long slider
I think I would stop at 1st chorus because there seems to have enough example to let you understand my idea. It would be my pleasure if you can poke me via in-game PM (Usually @GMT+1 11:00~15:00) when you feel confused about the idea. (Actually I wanted to PM you before I post something here but I haven't seen you these days hmm)

  1. 01:09:545 (1) - Not consistent with 01:05:965 (2) etc. on the shape of slider.
    I guess those sharp sliders did look pretty bad... Changed shape to regular curve on 01:09:545 (1) - and 01:20:454 (1) -
  2. 01:15:340 (2,3,4) - hmm why uneven distance
    Oops, evened out spacing
  3. 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4) - not a very good flow tbh especially the sharp angle on 01:24:204 (4,1,2)
    Spread out the notes a bit and moved slightly, should be better now and the angle isn't that sharp anymore
  4. 01:29:318 (3,4,5,6) - ^
    Changed pattern on the 4 notes from weird zigzag to circluar
  5. 01:39:545 (1,2,3) - distance
    Not sure I understand. There's a snare on 01:39:886 (3) - so I previously increased the spacing between 01:39:715 (2,3) - and kept it smaller between 01:39:545 (1,2) - to emphasize it. <- *

Edit: Changed patterns in several sections for better flow and fixed some spacing inconsistencies after another short irc mod with Curisu. Also removed soft-sliderslide.wav and soft-slidertick.wav for now

  1. maybe silence that sliderslide? it's sounds kinda jarring in a calm song.
    00:08:181 (1) - stack
    00:10:056 (6,7) - ctrl+g rhythm vocals g
    00:20:454 (5) - no beat in song here, 00:20:795 - move sliderhead here? also it's a bit hard to read things there in that section with the overlaps/stacks,
    00:32:386 (6,7) - rather see those as stacks, so it doesn't nullify the bass kick emphasize on 00:31:875 (3,4) -
    02:21:477 (6,7) - ^
    00:35:965 (2) - stack
    03:15:852 (3) - x:337 y:34, better place fr jump i used scale tool
    03:50:795 (2,3) - rather would simplfy it with 1/4, 1/2 for something vague as vocals
    04:37:585 (6,8) - overmapped
  2. there are some overlaps through the whole map bothering me tht i cant just fix up with modding like 06:45:000 (1,6) -
    overlaps in the same combo are bad visually would increase quality if you try to avoid those.

    I've been hearing this a lot. Added a silent soft-sliderslide.wav and normal-sliderslide.wav. Hopefully this doesn't break any regulations
    03:50:795 (2,3) - rather would simplfy it with 1/4, 1/2 for something vague as vocals
    I'm not really sure I understood what you meant here :? I replaced the short slider (3) with 2 hitcircles on 1/2 so it should be fine now
  2. there are some overlaps through the whole map bothering me tht i cant just fix up with modding like 06:45:000 (1,6) -

    Some slight overlaps are intentional (though I'm sure those are pretty obvious). I fixed the part you mentioned and some others I didn't really notice before, including changing the pattern at 06:52:840 (5,1,2,3,4,5) - a bit to look better. I'll pay more attention to overlaps like these in the future.

hi im modder c:


im new to mapping im new to modding x d, skip to the bottom of this mod before applying to read why I left a BN worthy check here lol

General

  1. There are some SB elements that aren't sized properly. Also, just double check to make sure your BG is jpg and your scrolling / foreground objects are png since they are lossless.
  2. normal-sliderslide.wav and soft-sliderslide.wav are not 100ms. This causes issues for some soundcards and is an unrankable issue, so replace those sliderslides with this muted sliderslide instead.
  3. normal-hitnormal.wav has a delay of over 5ms. I went ahead and cropped an acceptable version for you: https://puu.sh/vQApR/eaffe69c84.mp3
  4. On the storyboard, maybe from 00:20:454 - 00:21:818 - there could be an effect similar to 02:31:363 - where the faded and blurry background slowly comes into focus, reaching an emphasized point on 00:21:818 - ?
  5. By the way, 2 years ago I downloaded this map in the midst of a poco maro craze lol.

  1. 00:32:727 - Starting here, you switch to much more passive rhythm which seemed strange while playing. Compare 00:25:738 (5,6,1,2,3,4,5) - 00:36:818 (1,2,3,4,5) - . What I mean by passive is that you switch from capturing mostly every element in the music to capturing the minimum to maintain the flow.
  2. 00:42:975 (3) - This slider is snapped wrong and doesn't show up on the AImod, weird.
  3. 00:43:678 (4) - This circle is also off snapped. Listening to it in 25%, you may want to check the wave file of the song to double check these are timed right. Additionally, if they are timed right, I highly suggest making 00:42:975 (3,4) - one combined slider, whether it be a reverse slider or not, to avoid players having trouble reading this.
  4. 00:46:363 - I think it would make more sense to let the break occur immediately following 00:43:678 (4) - because that's when there are important storyboard elements being shown. Also, there is no gap up to 00:57:272 - so it's just inconsistent.
  5. 01:56:420 (3) - Maybe Ctrl + J and rotate 10 degrees, then blanket 01:56:250 (2) - ? this could be synergistic with 01:55:909 (1) - as well, since it can be blanketed by it.
  6. 03:15:000 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,1) - Yooooo this was really beautiful...
  7. 03:31:875 - OMG and a shooting star jeez I really love this storyboard lol.
  8. 04:46:363 (1) - Maybe curve the end of it a bit? like:
    stylistic preference, no functionality impact here c:
  9. 05:04:090 (1,1,2) - For OCD, can we make this a triangle or a 90 degree angle :P also wow, I'm really loving these flourishes at the end of kiai, good job on those.
  10. 07:00:511 (2,3) - If you alter the shape of 07:00:511 (2) - just a bit more, you can blanket both 07:01:022 (3) - and 07:01:363 (1) - in a more synergistic way.

  1. 01:21:818 (1,2,3,4) - Maybe you can try something like this?
    There are multiple reasons I feel this would be to the benefit of this section. One of which, is because this is actually just before the hardest part in the map:
    Second, This much better emphasizes less muted beats on 01:21:818 - 01:22:500 - 01:23:181 - 01:23:863 - with distance gaps and embodies the muted bass beats with softer spacing. The patterning type I showed above would also apply to 01:23:181 (1,2,3,4) - .
  2. 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2) - Hardest part in the map, you can refer to the difficulty strains snapshot I linked above. First, I want to say that I actually really really like this jump sequence, I just feel its a bit too over emphasized in contrast with the rest of the map. A few suggestions on what I think could make this better represent the music:
    1. This is a build up, maybe make 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4) - less emphasized, and make 01:25:227 (1,2,3,4) - as emphasized as 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4) - currently is (I'm referring to the distances between circles when I say emphasize here)
    2. This is a foreign thought to 2017 mapping and honestly I like your jump sequence better, but if you wanted to you could embody 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - with obtuse angles instead, something like this:
    In any case, doing one or the other would work, but not doing either would still feel overdone.
  3. 01:30:000 (1) - The aesthetic is a bit cramped near the end of the slider end. one thing that could help free the slider from its cramped look is to place the white anchors more towards the center of the object:
    What fixing this will do is make the blankets on 01:30:511 (2,3) - more obvious and better looking, as well as you'll have an easier curve to blanket when adjusting the slider shapes of 01:30:681 (3,4) - .
  4. 01:37:159 (3,4) - This is the first instance of this rhythm type being introduced. Not that this is a bad thing, but it may cause unnecessary slider end drops or even slider breaks. notice that in previous instances, the rhythm choice was to use the 01:37:414 - as a circle and give the downbeat on 01:37:500 - a clickable function. In my opinion, it makes more sense to give 01:37:500 - a clickable functionality since it's the downbeat. Anyhow, this is okay but maybe introduce this rhythm type earlier in the map?
  5. 01:48:238 (5) - I recommend and NC
  6. 02:34:602 (3,1) - Fix blanket.
  7. 02:35:454 (1) - I think this element would look nicer in unison with 02:35:454 (1) - as a standard blanket, but that's purely a stylistic choice C:
  8. 03:39:545 (1,4) - Very nice overlap, good stuff.
  9. 04:11:335 - The い is on this beat I think?
  10. 04:17:727 (1,3) - Unnecessary overlap, can easily be resolved by moving 04:16:704 (2,3,4,1) - up just a couple pixels, and maybe 04:18:409 (3,4,5) - down a couple pixels.
  11. 04:21:818 (1) - If you liked the slider recommendation earlier, consider applying a bit of a touch up here as well?

Jokes aside, I've had this map for 2 years. I don't know how much effort you've put into this after these 2 years have passed, but I seriously want you to rank this because since this maps discovery, I've regularly listened to this song outside of osu! and I've grown very fond of it, it's such an emotionally calming song. Not to mention, the SB production is amazing. Not ranking that work of art would be an injustice, honestly.

big mod
hi im modder c:
im new to mapping im new to modding x d, skip to the bottom of this mod before applying to read why I left a BN worthy check here lol

General

  1. There are some SB elements that aren't sized properly. Also, just double check to make sure your BG is jpg and your scrolling / foreground objects are png since they are lossless.

    I'll look into this a bit more and ask around but the ranking criteria around storyboard images has been changed a bit since last year so this part is debatable: Criteria from last year and this year for comparison.
    I made sure all the images without transparency are in .jpg while all the images with necessary transparency are in .png (only exception being the flares)
  2. normal-sliderslide.wav and soft-sliderslide.wav are not 100ms. This causes issues for some soundcards and is an unrankable issue, so replace those sliderslides with this muted sliderslide instead.
    Replaced, thanks a bunch!
  3. normal-hitnormal.wav has a delay of over 5ms. I went ahead and cropped an acceptable version for you: https://puu.sh/vQApR/eaffe69c84.mp3

    Replaced this aswell, thank you! (For some reason Audacity wanted to add an extra 100ms delay when converting it from .mp3 to .wav so I had to do it with foobar2000, hopefully it didn't mess it up too much)
  4. On the storyboard, maybe from 00:20:454 - 00:21:818 - there could be an effect similar to 02:31:363 - where the faded and blurry background slowly comes into focus, reaching an emphasized point on 00:21:818 - ?
    Good idea, I'll try to get it done after I fix the rest c:
  5. By the way, 2 years ago I downloaded this map in the midst of a poco maro craze lol.
    I might ask you for your poco maro maps sometime later, I could use some more :D

  1. 04:46:363 (1) - Maybe curve the end of it a bit? like:

    stylistic preference, no functionality impact here c:
    Done~ The straight end looked a bit wonky anyways


Kawa
  1. 01:21:818 (1,2,3,4) - Maybe you can try something like this?

    There are multiple reasons I feel this would be to the benefit of this section. One of which, is because this is actually just before the hardest part in the map:

    Second, This much better emphasizes less muted beats on 01:21:818 - 01:22:500 - 01:23:181 - 01:23:863 - with distance gaps and embodies the muted bass beats with softer spacing. The patterning type I showed above would also apply to 01:23:181 (1,2,3,4) - .
    Sounds good. Also makes stuff look nicer so sure! Changed the slider patterns to match your suggestion (there were slight problems with flow at first but it should be fine now...)
  2. 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2) - Hardest part in the map, you can refer to the difficulty strains snapshot I linked above. First, I want to say that I actually really really like this jump sequence, I just feel its a bit too over emphasized in contrast with the rest of the map. A few suggestions on what I think could make this better represent the music:
    1. This is a build up, maybe make 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4) - less emphasized, and make 01:25:227 (1,2,3,4) - as emphasized as 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4) - currently is (I'm referring to the distances between circles when I say emphasize here)
    2. This is a foreign thought to 2017 mapping and honestly I like your jump sequence better, but if you wanted to you could embody 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - with obtuse angles instead, something like this:

    In any case, doing one or the other would work, but not doing either would still feel overdone.
    This part has been pointed out once or twice before so I guess it really is "a bit" overdone :? Your suggestions make sense and I decided to go with 1. Reasons being: The buildup with stronger sounds like this (in my opinion) calls for a more snapping movement rather than a single wavy motion.
    It's also more fun to play a jumpy pattern compared to a linear one. Following that, I nerfed and moved the jumps so the spacing now gradually increases in order with the buildup in the song. This pattern also flows much better into the stream following it compared to the previous one so that's a neat addition~
  3. 01:30:000 (1) - The aesthetic is a bit cramped near the end of the slider end. one thing that could help free the slider from its cramped look is to place the white anchors more towards the center of the object:

    What fixing this will do is make the blankets on 01:30:511 (2,3) - more obvious and better looking, as well as you'll have an easier curve to blanket when adjusting the slider shapes of 01:30:681 (3,4) - .
    Fixed, also moved the slider slightly to the right. The blanket between 01:30:000 (1,4) - could still be improved a bit so I'll work on that later
  4. 01:37:159 (3,4) - This is the first instance of this rhythm type being introduced. Not that this is a bad thing, but it may cause unnecessary slider end drops or even slider breaks. notice that in previous instances, the rhythm choice was to use the 01:37:414 - as a circle and give the downbeat on 01:37:500 - a clickable function. In my opinion, it makes more sense to give 01:37:500 - a clickable functionality since it's the downbeat. Anyhow, this is okay but maybe introduce this rhythm type earlier in the map?
    I'm having mixed thoughts about this since, while you're right that it's usually white ticks that should be emphasized with a slider head,
    there's actually a stronger kick on the blue tick 01:37:414 - that goes into the weaker sound on the downbeat so I felt like a slider fits the part better. I figured using a double instead of a 1/4 slider could work but I feel like it wouldn't give enough emphasis for the kick unless I increased the spacing in that case.
    On another note, the first occurrence of this rhythm in the song happens at 00:31:875 (3,4,5) - where Hathz also emphasized the blue tick more with a 1/2 slider albeit with a different pattern and less spacing between the blue and white tick. For most of these occurences in the song, he used his variation of the pattern and I used mine, which might explain the inconsistency.
  5. 01:48:238 (5) - I recommend and NC
    Added NC
  6. 02:34:602 (3,1) - Fix blanket.
    Fixed blanket and a weird stack I missed before
  7. 02:35:454 (1) - I think this element would look nicer in unison with 02:35:454 (1) - as a standard blanket, but that's purely a stylistic choice C:Can a slider blanket itself? 🤔 I'll poke you in-game about this cause I'm not sure what exactly you meant
  8. 03:39:545 (1,4) - Very nice overlap, good stuff.
    Thanks! It wasn't easy
  9. 04:21:818 (1) - If you liked the slider recommendation earlier, consider applying a bit of a touch up here as well?
    Fixed it (I think). I kinda suck at this blanketing business...



  10. 04:11:335 - The い is on this beat I think?
  11. 04:17:727 (1,3) - Unnecessary overlap, can easily be resolved by moving 04:16:704 (2,3,4,1) - up just a couple pixels, and maybe 04:18:409 (3,4,5) - down a couple pixels.
    These two aren't my parts, I'll poke the person responsible for this :lol:

Jokes aside, I've had this map for 2 years. I don't know how much effort you've put into this after these 2 years have passed, but I seriously want you to rank this because since this maps discovery, I've regularly listened to this song outside of osu! and I've grown very fond of it, it's such an emotionally calming song. Not to mention, the SB production is amazing. Not ranking that work of art would be an injustice, honestly.
Thank you very much! I'm really glad to hear this since one of my goals was to promote songs like this with mapping. I'll try not to let all the effort go to waste~

Thanks a ton for the very detailed and helpful mod! I really appreciate it :)

  1. 00:32:727 - Starting here, you switch to much more passive rhythm which seemed strange while playing. Compare 00:25:738 (5,6,1,2,3,4,5) - 00:36:818 (1,2,3,4,5) - . What I mean by passive is that you switch from capturing mostly every element in the music to capturing the minimum to maintain the flow. I'm not sure if it's that big of a problem, will leave it for now.
  2. 00:42:975 (3) - This slider is snapped wrong and doesn't show up on the AImod, weird. See below
  3. 00:43:678 (4) - This circle is also off snapped. Listening to it in 25%, you may want to check the wave file of the song to double check these are timed right. Additionally, if they are timed right, I highly suggest making 00:42:975 (3,4) - one combined slider, whether it be a reverse slider or not, to avoid players having trouble reading this. As far as timing goes on these, the song kinda slows down a bit and I tried my best to time it without adding more timing points. It's just snapped to 1/16.
  4. 00:46:363 - I think it would make more sense to let the break occur immediately following 00:43:678 (4) - because that's when there are important storyboard elements being shown. Also, there is no gap up to 00:57:272 - so it's just inconsistent. Fair enough
  5. 01:56:420 (3) - Maybe Ctrl + J and rotate 10 degrees, then blanket 01:56:250 (2) - ? this could be synergistic with 01:55:909 (1) - as well, since it can be blanketed by it. I think I prefer it the way it is now, also there's not much space to fiddle around there and I don't wanna break everything >w<
  6. 03:15:000 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,1) - Yooooo this was really beautiful... Ayy
  7. 03:31:875 - OMG and a shooting star jeez I really love this storyboard lol. I'm just here to get the praise for Kawa's work~
  8. 04:46:363 (1) - Maybe curve the end of it a bit? stylistic preference, no functionality impact here c: Uh, wrong link? ^^
  9. 05:04:090 (1,1,2) - For OCD, can we make this a triangle or a 90 degree angle :P also wow, I'm really loving these flourishes at the end of kiai, good job on those. Fixed position of a circle slightly!
  10. 07:00:511 (2,3) - If you alter the shape of 07:00:511 (2) - just a bit more, you can blanket both 07:01:022 (3) - and 07:01:363 (1) - in a more synergistic way.
Thank you!

Applied Secretpipe's irc mod part 1(?) :)
wall of text
2017-06-06 19:24 Secretpipe: now it's irc mod time
2017-06-06 19:24 Secretpipe: First
2017-06-06 19:24 Secretpipe: 01:15:340 (2,3,4) - Consider to space more these objects
2017-06-06 19:24 Secretpipe: It feels like I'm playing 1/2 right now and it can't be misread!
2017-06-06 19:25 Secretpipe: I know u blanket'd and the (2) with 01:16:363 (1,2) - but still hehe
2017-06-06 19:25 Kawa: Oh, I thought it shouldn't be too far apart cause it's pretty quiet at that part :o
2017-06-06 19:25 Secretpipe: Just take a look at 01:10:397 (3,4) -
2017-06-06 19:25 Secretpipe: same spacing but not same rhythm on the timeline
2017-06-06 19:26 Secretpipe: just space further the 3 and the 4!
2017-06-06 19:26 Secretpipe: it'll be ok!
2017-06-06 19:26 Kawa: Hmmm
2017-06-06 19:26 Secretpipe: like http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8279879
2017-06-06 19:26 Kawa: What if I moved 3 further away and stacked 4 on top of 3? Would that work?
2017-06-06 19:26 Kawa: Oh, or that
2017-06-06 19:27 Secretpipe: that wouldn't be consistent with 01:15:340 (2) - then if you stack 01:15:681 (3) - behind 01:16:022 (4) -
2017-06-06 19:27 Kawa: I guess so
2017-06-06 19:28 Kawa: I increased the spacing now :o Similar to your example
2017-06-06 19:28 Kawa: [https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/xWQL4V4.png So it's like this now]
2017-06-06 19:29 Secretpipe: 01:21:818 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - These objects feel too clustered at the moment (they are really close to each other!) Give it more space! It's still 1/2 and you can easily make stuff like http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8279896 ( the curve is optional)
2017-06-06 19:29 Secretpipe: ya nicely done
2017-06-06 19:31 Kawa: I thought I'd emphasize every second white tick better like this :o
2017-06-06 19:31 Kawa: By having spacing change from small to big repeatedly
2017-06-06 19:31 Kawa: But I guess it doesn't look all that great huh
2017-06-06 19:31 Secretpipe: It's not that big
2017-06-06 19:32 Secretpipe: I was scared at first to increase my spacing when i began
2017-06-06 19:32 Secretpipe: just try it and play it , it feels normal !
2017-06-06 19:32 Secretpipe: the problem is that it's too small for what it is ! it's the buildup part
2017-06-06 19:33 Kawa: The spacing was pretty huge here before (but mostly in 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - this part) so I actually nerfed it before xD
2017-06-06 19:33 Kawa: There were like 2 or 3 mods that pointed that out
2017-06-06 19:34 Kawa: I'll increase the spacing on those sliders you mentioned
2017-06-06 19:34 Secretpipe: 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - is clean don't touch it :C
2017-06-06 19:34 Secretpipe: it's not about increasing spacing , it's about giving the sliders more space
2017-06-06 19:35 Secretpipe: in my example i curved them and i avoided the overlap and it felt pretty okay i think!
2017-06-06 19:35 Kawa: Yeah I get it~
2017-06-06 19:35 Secretpipe: tell me when you are ready for the next one xd
2017-06-06 19:36 Kawa: You can go ahead :3 I marked this part so I'll take care of it later
2017-06-06 19:36 Secretpipe: !!
2017-06-06 19:36 Secretpipe: 01:24:545 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) -
2017-06-06 19:36 Secretpipe: oops
2017-06-06 19:36 Secretpipe: i copied a whole sentence and it got deleted
2017-06-06 19:36 Kawa: Nice
2017-06-06 19:37 Secretpipe: 01:26:590 (1) - There's something big and weird here! Lemme explain , you have a biiiig smooth curve made by some circles and then you have a god damn straight slider breakin the smoothness of ur pattern
2017-06-06 19:37 Kawa: Wow, that's one rude slider
2017-06-06 19:38 Kawa: You're suggesting I curve it to fit the stream?
2017-06-06 19:38 Secretpipe: fixes : you can either rotate the slider to another direction / curve it and make it consistent with the curve / slightly edit the curve of the slider to make something different
2017-06-06 19:38 Secretpipe: (wow feels good to mod again bfknffnkf)
2017-06-06 19:38 Kawa: Welcome back I guess :3
2017-06-06 19:38 Kawa: Hmm...
2017-06-06 19:39 Kawa: [https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/plgcLBk.png Would this work?]
2017-06-06 19:40 Secretpipe: it's .. decent
2017-06-06 19:40 Secretpipe: acceptable
2017-06-06 19:40 Kawa: I think following the arc from the stream with the slider shape wouldn't emphasise the strong beat on 01:26:590 - right so changing the direction like that feels better
2017-06-06 19:41 Kawa: You don't sound so sure ;D Got any better idea?
2017-06-06 19:42 Secretpipe: I mean it's okay but it can be so much better
2017-06-06 19:42 Secretpipe: and you have to put 01:26:931 (2) - in ur pattern further
2017-06-06 19:42 Secretpipe: yea i have an idea
2017-06-06 19:42 Secretpipe: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8279988
2017-06-06 19:42 Secretpipe: Something like that would better work
2017-06-06 19:43 Kawa: Dang, that looks neat
2017-06-06 19:44 Secretpipe: and so the (2) is far from 01:27:272 (1) - (there's a 1/1 gap between 01:26:931 - and 01:27:272 - )
2017-06-06 19:44 Kawa: I guess I could try changing it to that, I'll have to improve the blanketing with the other notes then
2017-06-06 19:44 Kawa: Oh yeah, that would fix the gap there too
2017-06-06 19:45 Secretpipe: not everything has to be blanket'd tho
2017-06-06 19:45 Secretpipe: haha
2017-06-06 19:45 Kawa: True, true. But I don't want any weird overlaps
2017-06-06 19:46 Secretpipe: !!
2017-06-06 19:47 Kawa: Alright, marked that too
2017-06-06 19:47 Secretpipe: okay from 01:27:272 - until
2017-06-06 19:48 Secretpipe: 01:48:920 -
2017-06-06 19:48 Secretpipe: you have a generic issue
2017-06-06 19:48 Secretpipe: in your opinion what's wrong with
2017-06-06 19:48 Secretpipe: ???1
2017-06-06 19:48 Secretpipe: 01:27:784 (2,3,4,5) -
2017-06-06 19:49 Kawa: The patterns look plain and the beat emphasis is too small/not obvious? :o
2017-06-06 19:49 Secretpipe: ding ding
2017-06-06 19:49 Secretpipe: correct
2017-06-06 19:49 Kawa: \:D/
2017-06-06 19:49 Kawa: Wait, correct on which part
2017-06-06 19:49 Secretpipe: playability feels weird and 01:28:295 (5) - aint emphasized!
2017-06-06 19:49 Secretpipe: correct on errythin
2017-06-06 19:50 Kawa: Dang
2017-06-06 19:50 Secretpipe: fix idea: stuff like that is much "enjoyable" / "natural to play" and the emphasis is here
2017-06-06 19:50 Secretpipe: http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8280046
2017-06-06 19:51 Kawa: Wouldn't I have to change the 01:28:636 (1) - slider to fit the flow then? Or does the triple work well enough?
2017-06-06 19:52 Kawa: But yeah, this actually does work much better
2017-06-06 19:52 Secretpipe: that triple+slider is fine
2017-06-06 19:52 Secretpipe: but same problem here http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8280046
2017-06-06 19:52 Secretpipe: oops
2017-06-06 19:52 Secretpipe: same problem her e: 01:28:977 (2) -
2017-06-06 19:53 Secretpipe: it's equally distanced from 01:28:636 (1) - and 01:29:318 (3) -
2017-06-06 19:53 Secretpipe: and it has to be
2017-06-06 19:53 Secretpipe: emphasiiiiiiized
2017-06-06 19:53 Secretpipe: since it's a K I C K
2017-06-06 19:54 Secretpipe: 01:29:659 (5) - here u did it well but it's still a bit low
2017-06-06 19:54 Kawa: I'm not sure if I should be emphasizing kicks or snares more ^^; Or should they both be equal?
2017-06-06 19:54 Secretpipe: 01:31:022 (4) - that one was okay
2017-06-06 19:54 Secretpipe: kicks are importanter
2017-06-06 19:54 Kawa: Alright, I see
2017-06-06 19:55 Secretpipe: consider that there are kicks non emphasized till 01:48:920 -
2017-06-06 19:55 Secretpipe: consider to apply all the stuff i've been listin from today and then we'll see! :D
2017-06-06 19:55 Secretpipe: let's just proceed step by step
2017-06-06 19:56 Kawa: What about this part? 01:34:090 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) -
2017-06-06 19:56 Kawa: With the kick on 01:34:943 (6) - and snare on 01:35:113 (7) -
2017-06-06 19:56 Kawa: Should these be bigger too?
2017-06-06 19:56 Secretpipe: well that pattern is special , you made it for its shape
2017-06-06 19:57 Secretpipe: leave it , it's okay!
2017-06-06 19:57 Kawa: Pretty much, yeah
2017-06-06 19:57 Kawa: Okay!
2017-06-06 19:57 Kawa: One more question!
2017-06-06 19:57 Secretpipe: gogogo
2017-06-06 19:57 Kawa: I don't really like the way this looks 01:30:511 (2,3,4) - but I don't want to ruin the pattern too much. What's your opinion on it?

2017-06-06 20:05 Kawa: Okay, so I'll try to work on emphasizing the kicks and snares more and once that's done, I'll fix this pattern too
2017-06-06 20:05 Secretpipe: gud attitude
2017-06-06 20:05 Secretpipe: :D
2017-06-06 20:06 Kawa: And maybe I'll fix some plain jump patterns too if I come up with something better
2017-06-06 20:06 Kawa: 01:32:045 (4,5,6,7) - Especially this one

personally not fond of the cymbal crash hitsound for normal-hitfinish and soft-hitfinish. I suggset something softer like this. I think would compliment the song nicer

any way to make the storyboard compatible with 4:3 resolution users? Just have to move the collaber names at the bottom right a little more to the left so it doesn't get cut

  1. 00:15:511 (5,6) - you usually make the vocals clickable so perhaps you can ctrl+g rhythm here to make it into a slider then circle (vocals clickable). same at 00:18:238 (3,4) -
  2. 00:21:477 (3) - ctrl+g this slider? I don't think the increase in spacing between sliders 2 and 3 is very fitting especially for such a soft part of the song
  3. 01:08:693 (2) - sounds like you're making your own rhythm here, which isn't a very good idea for a rhythm game... I can't really hear any audible beats on the red tick but I do hear something on the white tick.
  4. 01:09:375 (4) - sounds overmapped, no sound in the music to support this circle. applies to next couple of ones too since it appears you're reusing the rhythm pattern
  5. 01:15:000 (1,2) - ^ a 1/1 slider would fit better imo
  6. 01:25:056 (4) - I see an 'increasing spacing' concept here but the increase isn't very consistent. Try moving this somewhere like x:272 y:68 to smooth it out
  7. 01:44:232 - perhaps add a circle here for consistency with 01:38:778 (3) - ?
  8. 02:01:704 (2) - don't you usually space out claps? inconsistent spacing concept with 01:54:886 (2,3) -
  9. 02:30:852 (3) - seems terribly offtimed here...
  10. 04:05:028 (8,9) - careful with spacing here? differs from usual 0.8x because of stacking at 04:05:113 (9,1) -
  11. 04:33:068 (2,3,4) - even out spacing here? would look better than having a slight spacing variation here tbh
  12. 04:36:392 (4,5) - suggest custom stacking because auto stacking is causing this to look funky (goes back on itself)
very lovely storyboard, song, and map. I wish you good luck on getting this ranked!

Thank you, this is perfect! Swapped both normal- and soft-hitfinish with your sample

I've previously aligned the lyrics to 4:3 resolution, not sure why it didn't cross my mind to do the same for the collab names. Fixed!

    These three points make a lot of sense and made me rethink my view on the section between 01:05:454 - and 01:21:818 - . So I remapped it into a simpler rhythm that follows the background beats while still applying what you mentioned.
  4. 01:25:056 (4) - I see an 'increasing spacing' concept here but the increase isn't very consistent. Try moving this somewhere like x:272 y:68 to smooth it out
    Seems fair, moved to the same position as 01:26:931 (2) -
  5. 01:44:232 - perhaps add a circle here for consistency with 01:38:778 (3) - ?
    I suppose having a 1/2 gap there feels a bit off, added a circle

for blur.jpg, and mblur.jpg why don't you try 80% jpg compression with programs like paint.net. current adds up to 800kb while converted files can be at around 200kb.

00:34:602 (2) - would be nice if this was two clickable just like part before 00:33:238 (2,3) - . Shaker is still there so good to emphasize that
01:09:886 (4,5) - would be better off using 01:07:159 (2) - imo for simplicity
01:20:795 (4,5) - ^
01:37:414 (4) - two clickable would be nicer to play as just a note before 01:36:477 (5,6,1) - was same. works better with circles from my perspective. also though suddenly introducing 1/4 slider like that seemed out of place. As a comparison 06:21:051 (2) - this one also uses 1/4 like current but has hi-hat sound which is just more than a single beat like kick, thus they are different.
03:13:636 (1,2) - blue tick should've been clickable just like 03:07:840 (4,5,1) - . This part is more of a identical repeat of previous part and implemented slightly differently which is weird.
03:35:795 (1) - start spinner at 03:35:539 - since there isn't really distinctive sound that current spinner is mapped to. Might as well give players more time to spin
04:24:204 (4,5) - stack feels better with this
04:36:392 (4,5) - would just follow the style what you had before
05:21:839 (1) - unsnapped? if on purpose, use red tick for better control rather than let it hang on static bpm
05:25:546 (1,1) - ^

Overall, it is very well made, including SB. however it would be nicer if you used a combo colour that doesn't blend in with bg.
as an example, that blends in to well with bg and I have hard time viewing it. (I am colourblind) and rule states that:
Each map must use at least two different custom combo colors unless the default skin is forced. The combo colors must not blend with the map's background/storyboard/video in any case. This is so hit objects are always visible to the player and custom skin's combo colors do not blend with the background accidentally.
Hope that helps.

Good point! Used 85% jpg compression to decrease total filesize of the two from 779kb to 147kb with no noticeable loss in quality.

01:09:886 (4,5) - would be better off using 01:07:159 (2) - imo for simplicity
I went with your suggestion for now because it's better than what I did (it fixes the previous 3/4 gaps between objects) but it now feels rather monotonous. Will leave it like this unless I come up with something better soon.
01:20:795 (4,5) - ^ Same as above
01:37:414 (4) - two clickable would be nicer to play as just a note before 01:36:477 (5,6,1) - was same. works better with circles from my perspective. also though suddenly introducing 1/4 slider like that seemed out of place.

This part has been brought up before but you make a valid point. Changed the 1/4 slider into 2 circles and changed the pattern a bit
03:35:795 (1) - start spinner at 03:35:539 - since there isn't really distinctive sound that current spinner is mapped to. Might as well give players more time to spin
Sounds fair, changed~
04:24:204 (4,5) - stack feels better with this
Changed the entire pattern before it (04:22:840 (5,6,1,2,3) - ) a bit and stacked 4,5
05:21:839 (1) - unsnapped? if on purpose, use red tick for better control rather than let it hang on static bpm
I'm.... not sure how that was unsnapped... Fixed!
05:25:546 (1,1) - ^
I'll leave this the way it is for now because I'm not entirely sure whether all the parts using these exact 3 notes following the same sound are snapped right at all but I'll ask around and hopefully get it fixed soon.

This is so hit objects are always visible to the player and custom skin's combo colors do not blend with the background accidentally.
Decreased the color luminosity on all combo colors a bit so they're slightly darker. I generally prefer to use a tad lighter colors since the majority of the player-base plays with a fully dimmed background. If you plan on rechecking this, let me know if the colors are any better now or if they still need adjusting~

Hope that helps. Sure did!

  1. 01:09:545 (3) - here i don't get why the distance after and before this circle is different. The distance is higher before. But it's the other way around with 01:12:273 (4) - when the sound which is introduced, so 01:12:614 - and 01:09:886 - is the same. The spacing here looks a little messy i guess, it would be better if you make things consistent = the same kind of emphasis = higheror equal distance before or after for both cases.
  2. 01:20:795 (4,5) - same case as ^, you used the same spacing for 01:07:159 (2,3) - and 01:09:886 (4,5) - which is 1.70, and the same spacing for 01:12:614 (5,6) - and 01:18:068 (5,6) - which is 2.0, but you reduce the spacing for 01:20:795 (4,5) - , if the spacing for these notes was supposed to increase each 2 times, the distance between 01:20:795 (4,5) - should be higher.
  3. 01:42:102 (6,1) - I'd suggest you to unstack here. Stacking objects as you did here is kind of slowdown on a section which is played with a "linear" flow, by linear i mean there is no stacked objects before as you did for 01:42:102 (6,1) - . This would give a better impression if you avoid it.
  4. 02:42:784 (3,4,5) - A person (if she's still alive) would tell you her theory about this kind of issue here. Well, to resume, one of the strongest notes of what i mentioned is 02:43:295 (6) - which is supposed to have the clap hitsound is currently followed by a sliderend, and it should be played by a sliderstart or a circle to make it emphasized better. It doesn't really sound right in everything if the clap hitsound is played by a sliderend, it's something which applies to everything. Well, just to say, instead of using a slider for 02:43:125 (5) - , use 2 circles.
  5. 03:04:602 (4) - I can say the same thing with this reversed slider. The note on the blue tick is really strong and it sounds weird to skip it or just make it followed by a reverse arrow. It will be better if you put a triple, instead of a reversed slider here.
  6. 03:43:636 (1,2) - I find it a little weird that the distance between them looks the same as 03:44:318 (3,4) - visually, but the gap is different (1/4 and 1/2) and that could be a little confusing, when everything before was not that difficult to read. Consider increasing the distance between 03:44:318 (3,4) - or reducing the spacing between 03:43:636 (1,2) - to make things better to read and not that ambiguous.
  7. 04:26:761 (7,1) - Concerning aesthetics, you should try to avoid weird and ugly overlaps when you can do it easily without breaking the current structure of your patterns. So your patterns will look more cute and neat if you move this objects 04:27:272 (1) - (and maybe 2-3 other objects after) on the left.


    Hathz
  8. 00:25:738 (5,6,1) - The slider (1) is straight, so it would be better for visual if these objects 00:25:738 (5,6,1) - are straight and not curved. Well, it's just my opinion.
  9. 00:31:022 (4) - I don't really find that it is a good idea to stack the sliderend and 00:31:278 (5,1) - . Visually this looks same as 00:24:545 (1,2) - but there is a circle between these sliders. Maybe confusing ? not really, but concerning the style, it would be better to unstack 00:31:278 (5,1) - from 00:31:022 (4) - . You still can make them overlapped.
  10. 01:59:829 (6,1) - this should not be an antijump here, because the note on 02:00:000 - is really strong and deserves to be emphasized better, so using a higher distance between 02:00:000 (1) - instead of a lower is more suitable, as you did for 02:02:386 (5) - for example.
  11. 02:11:931 (6,7,1) - this kind of motion could be improved if you reduce the angle between them (move 02:12:272 (1) - upward) to create a lower angle and make this motion more comfortable to play.
  12. 02:30:681 (1,2,3) - i don't really get what you tried to follow here, this looks snapped to a beat time divisor which must be avoided to follow things that sound offbeat. Plus 02:30:823 (2) - doesn't follow anything actually, there's no clear note in the song to allow you to use 1/12 to follow something that is snapped to nothing. So 02:30:823 (2) - must be deleted. A 3/4 slider (starts on white and end on blue after the red tick) suits better than the 3 circles. if you need help, just try this instead
  13. 03:07:840 (4,5,1) - This kind of motion could be improved too. The current direction of 03:07:840 (4) - is the opposite of the next patterns, and it fits better if you reverse it like
  14. 06:21:818 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - I find it a little weird that this pattern doesn't contain any jump, compared to previous and next patterns. It would give a better impression if you try to make things consistent, so if you keep the difficulty consistent. This pattern should have some jump between sliders or circles.


Good Luck ~

The spacing here looks a little messy i guess, it would be better if you make things consistent = the same kind of emphasis = higheror equal distance before or after for both cases.
    That was a spacing mistake on my part, normalized spacing on several notes. The fixed circles now have consistent 1.32x spacing before and after them
  2. 01:20:795 (4,5) - same case as ^, you used the same spacing for 01:07:159 (2,3) - and 01:09:886 (4,5) - which is 1.70, and the same spacing for 01:12:614 (5,6) - and 01:18:068 (5,6) - which is 2.0, but you reduce the spacing for 01:20:795 (4,5) - , if the spacing for these notes was supposed to increase each 2 times, the distance between 01:20:795 (4,5) - should be higher.
    I hope I understood this correctly... changed the spacing on all these slider->circle repetitions to roughly 1.72x. It wasn't meant to be gradually increasing
  3. 01:42:102 (6,1) - I'd suggest you to unstack here. Stacking objects as you did here is kind of slowdown on a section which is played with a "linear" flow, by linear i mean there is no stacked objects before as you did for 01:42:102 (6,1) - . This would give a better impression if you avoid it.
    Good point, unstacked and reworked pattern to keep the same circular flow
  4. 02:42:784 (3,4,5) - A person (if she's still alive) would tell you her theory about this kind of issue here. Well, to resume, one of the strongest notes of what i mentioned is 02:43:295 (6) - which is supposed to have the clap hitsound is currently followed by a sliderend, and it should be played by a sliderstart or a circle to make it emphasized better.

Well, just to say, instead of using a slider for 02:43:125 (5) - , use 2 circles.
    Sounds about right, changed the pattern a bit, terminated the slider and replaced it with 2 circles
  5. 03:04:602 (4) - I can say the same thing with this reversed slider. The note on the blue tick is really strong and it sounds weird to skip it or just make it followed by a reverse arrow. It will be better if you put a triple, instead of a reversed slider here.
    I figured a reverse slider would add more diversity but I suppose proper emphasis takes priority
  6. 03:43:636 (1,2) - I find it a little weird that the distance between them looks the same as 03:44:318 (3,4) - visually, but the gap is different (1/4 and 1/2) and that could be a little confusing, when everything before was not that difficult to read. Consider increasing the distance between 03:44:318 (3,4) - or reducing the spacing between 03:43:636 (1,2) - to make things better to read and not that ambiguous.
    Reduced the spacing between 03:43:636 (1,2) - since it was too high for a 1/4 gap for a non-intense part
  7. 04:26:761 (7,1) - Concerning aesthetics, you should try to avoid weird and ugly overlaps when you can do it easily without breaking the current structure of your patterns. So your patterns will look more cute and neat if you move this objects 04:27:272 (1) - (and maybe 2-3 other objects after) on the left.
    Moved 04:27:272 (1,2,3,4) - to the left and rotated slightly but I'm afraid I can't do much about the overlap between 04:27:272 (1,3) - without either breaking the spacing or changing the pattern/flow too much.

  1. 03:44:318 (3) - hmm, skipping 03:44:659 - this sound seems not a good idea. how about use same beats at 03:38:693 (2,3,4,5,6) - here?
  2. 03:48:068 (2) - same as above. u can hear sounds at 03:48:323 - here too. maybe u can use 3circle stream at here
  3. 03:50:795 (2) - following vocal seems bad idea. cuz only there used 1/3. and u didn't used 1/3 at 03:52:159 - here even this point has same vocal beat
  4. 04:11:420 (3,4,1) - that also weird. pretty weird. at first, 04:11:590 - you skipped here even it has vocal and hi-hat sounds. and you should know 04:11:420 (3,4) - these part isn't same as like 04:13:977 (2,3) - here. and 04:12:102 - here also have hi-hat. how about just use simple 1/2 beats?
  5. 04:29:147 (4,5) - this should be 1/1 slider like 04:23:693 (3) - this?
btw did u make this sb? i rly luv it XD

Thanks for modding! I'll make sure to leave a full proper reply once I get back home from a trip on 24.9.2017.
I checked your points really quick and most of them make sense~ I'll fix everything and leave feedback once I come back :3

Thanks for your patience and sorry for keeping you waiting!

Thank you! I'm really working on it but I feel like this mapset might not be unique enough to seem interesting to most BNs or something... I have no idea ;w;

  1. 03:44:318 (3) - hmm, skipping 03:44:659 - this sound seems not a good idea. how about use same beats at 03:38:693 (2,3,4,5,6) - here?
    At first I used a return slider there because I had trouble coming up with a decent pattern and because I thought it added some variation to the rhythm. Changed the return slider to single circle -> triple rhythm to stay consistent with the rest
  2. 03:48:068 (2) - same as above. u can hear sounds at 03:48:323 - here too. maybe u can use 3circle stream at here
    While I agree changing this return slider to the same rhythm as before could work, I decided to keep it as it is now because I believe using a simpler pattern/rhythm right before the 1/4 jump pattern 03:48:750 (4,5,1) - feels more comfortable to play.
  3. 03:50:795 (2) - following vocal seems bad idea. cuz only there used 1/3. and u didn't used 1/3 at 03:52:159 - here even this point has same vocal beat
    Improvised some 1/3 rhythm in the section from 03:51:818 - to 03:52:840 - to stay consistent with the 1/3 section before it but I could really use more feedback on this change
  4. 04:29:147 (4,5) - this should be 1/1 slider like 04:23:693 (3) - this?
    I prefer to keep it this way. 04:23:693 (3) - I used a 1/1 slider here as a lead-in for the "sleepy vocals" and the slider pattern following right after it 04:24:545 (1,2,3) - while I kept 04:29:147 (4,5) - as a 1/2 slider + circle because the increased note density after the first section. Using a slower 1/1 slider here while everything else aside from the emphasized stronger downbeats uses 1/2 would feel inconsistent and awkward.
Thank you again for modding and I'm sorry it took me so long to get back and reply! :)

wow a moddingv1 lol

00:21:136 (2,3) - a bit nazi but i would put some more space here to make it look more visually consistent
06:48:409 (5,1) - ^
00:42:975 (3,4) - is my osu broken or something or is every1 just making these obscene snappings to snap stuff to vocals now? add more timing points instead.
05:16:406 (3,2) - ^
00:54:588 (2) - 05:05:497 (1) -
yeah please don't do this, its not good practice, if u really need add timing points instead

01:37:159 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - i'd recommend something similar to what hathz did instead 00:31:875 (3,4,5) -
01:56:420 (3) - try this? 02:15:852 - i recommend mapping this out here, it would give some more contrast to the symmetry stuff ur doing next measure
02:49:772 (3,1) - can u make this overlap look..nicer?
04:11:420 (3,4,5) - this is.. kind of weird, please just map the drums here
04:36:392 (4,5) - why is this stacked so weirdly
07:05:454 (1,5) - this is kinda unecessary, u really dont need to perfect stack here, try something else please

It's an old mep <w<;

06:48:409 (5,1) - ^
I honestly have no idea how I could let that pass... Reworked the pattern a bit to look more visually appealing
05:16:406 (3,2) - ^
Fixed by snapping the sliders 05:16:406 (3) - and 05:19:119 (2) - to the dominant white ticks before them. While the sound they follow seems a tiny bit delayed, I believe it would be impossible to notice mid-gameplay and would be better to stay consistent with the rest of the map rather than making separate timing points for each sound, especially in sections such as 05:15:681 - where the player would normally assume the gap between all 3 objects is the same
01:37:159 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - i'd recommend something similar to what hathz did instead 00:31:875 (3,4,5) -
Sounds good, changed the pattern & rhythm by swapping around some sliders and circles to match it while still flowing well into the next part.

metadata n stuff
Fixed metadata a bit after doing some research (Changed from m-flo & daoko - IRONY (el poco maro remix) to m-flo + daoko - IRONY (el poco maro Remix)
I'm gonna add this to the beatmap desc for now just in case
  1. Song announcement
  2. Official m-flo channel
The remix part is a bit hard to confirm since the el poco maro deleted his official soundcloud and any direct links to his work or profile.
He's most commonly referred to with no capital letters while his "Remix" is capitalized both on most websites and on several ranked maps so I fixed it accordingly.
  1. This is the closest thing I could find
Any points not mentioned here will be addressed by Hathz once he comes online~

Thank you so much for modding! :)

04:11:420 (3,4,5) - this is.. kind of weird, please just map the drums here fine
04:36:392 (4,5) - why is this stacked so weirdly becaused otherwise osu will auto-stack the 2nd circle in the opposite direction of the slider which is not what i want
07:05:454 (1,5) - this is kinda unecessary, u really dont need to perfect stack here, try something else please changed slightly..
