Mod for Easy and Normal coming up. Sorry for being a perfectionist on small details

General stuff

-Preview timing not set. Recommended: 00:47:066 Fixed
-Fix stack leniency to anything between 0.3 to 0.9, this applies to all the diffs. even if you use stacks or not, please don't set it too low or too high Fixed
-No kiai time? Recommended: 00:58:316 onwards Fixed but used different time
-Why does Easy have a beat snap divisor of 1/8 when the yellow ticks are unused? Changed entire timing
-Tags on the Song Setup menu should be equal to all diffs. Also seperate them with spaces, not commas Fixed
-Keep the Song Setup menu consistent to all the diffs. (Like Easy has widescreen support but Normal doesn't)Fixed

Easy

-Don't set it to AR0, doesn't fit the song imo. AR1.5 or AR2 works better. Fixed
-same with HP drain. ^ Fixed
-00:07:691 (2) - Remove the point in the middle, doesn't make sense if the slider is straight by itself Fixed
-00:13:316 (1) - sorry for being a perfectionist but this isn't symmetrical XD Looks fine as it is
-00:45:191 (2) - make this straight x on start is 320 and ends on a 319 Fixed
-01:00:191 (1) - symmetry Again, fine as it is
-01:02:066 (1,2) - straight for both of these?Fixed

Normal

-Raise AR and OD a bit. AR3 or AR4 works better imo. Fixed
-00:09:567 (1,2) - straight Fixed
-00:20:816 (1) - ^ ^
-00:28:316 (1) - ^ ^
-00:33:941 (1) - ^ also remove unnecessary extra slider points, you don't need them if you're just making a straight slider But its a curved slider
-00:37:691 (1) - spinner: is too short for a Normal diff. add some breathing time for the next note. It is too quick (or make the spinner longer) Looks fine as it is
-00:41:441 (1) - remove nc Fixed
-00:50:816 (1,2) - snap these to the red tick Fixed
-00:58:316 (1) - https://puu.sh/sQbVX/af99bdb8b0.jpg I don't understand :3 Fixed
-this 01:02:066 (1) and this 01:03:941 (1) should have the same curve so it doesn't look awkward Fixed
-01:07:691 (1) - spinner: make this longer so you can cover the rest of the songEnds on the beat

Anywayysss.

Normal:

00:17:066 (1,2) - Maybe set Slider Velocity rly high and repeat 4 times? The The what? And this is NORMAL not hard

00:26:441 (5) - set the slider so the head would be under the end of 4 so it's circular (like tapioca xD) What????

00:48:473 (4,5) - you set up a clockwise flow in the hitcircles, so why break it (or you can put a new combo there) Fixed

00:57:613 (2,3,4) - too far for a normal player? The map is on the easier side of normal Fixed

Everything else looks good (including Easy)

Will do a proper mod later when I play osu (so don't kds this) but for now some things.

You don't need 96neko in tags as it's the artist. AR 8 is a bit high for hard considering the song is quite slow. It's also a big jump from normal so I'd suggest you drop it to 7. OD is also quite high for a hard so maybe drop it to 6? Everyone hates slow ARs. I had it on ar7 when I started mapping this, but there were just too many overlaps. OD fixed. Can't do anything about the jump in difficulties. I'm not going to remap normal or what I have so far in hard because I think its perfectly fine in terms of difficulty.

Edit: Here's the proper mod

First of all check AiMod and fix the issues Dont know how?

Also the gap between Normal and Hard is quite big while gap between Normal and Easy is a lot smaller. I'd suggest you make Normal more difficult until it's roughly 2,1* for a proper spread. ^

Easy

You should use distance snap all the time on easy diffs.
Not to mention there's pretty much no point doing stuff like this 00:03:941 (1,2,3) - as they are pretty much equally spread but not really. Distancing on easy diffs seem fine now.

This will probably cause a lot of remapping but you should avoid having notes placed like this 00:05:816 (1,2,1) - where the distance is pretty much the same but the time between them is different. Especially this 00:39:566 (1,2,3) - just don't. Spacing can we different at different times for emphasis. Fixed most of the problems though.

Although it is okay to not use distance snap when the gap between notes is very long but still you should us higher spacing there.

00:13:316 (1) - A bit too long slider imo maybe map it differently? Fixed.
00:33:941 (2,2) - Even if just this small you should avoid overlaps like this Talk to Milan-
00:48:941 (1,2) - This kind of blankets just don't work Fixed.

As harsh as it sound I really suggest that you'd just remap most of the easy using distance snap. That's what's pretty much expected on easy diffs if you want to rank this. No.

Normal

Same here... You should just use distance snap the whole time. No.

00:03:941 (1,2) - You have 2 circles here while easy had 3? Fixed.

00:14:254 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - You should avoid placing this many circles in a row Fixed.
00:28:316 (1) - Also avoid sliders with more than one repeat Fixed.
00:37:691 (1) - This spinner is too sudden for a normal diff and needs more recovery time after. You should just replace it with a slider Should be okay.
00:47:066 (1,2,3,4,5) - Yeah no. You need to use distance snap for a normal diff :/ No.

Hard

00:12:379 (1,2,3,4) - You shouldn't place 1/4 slider for no reason like this Fixed.
00:18:004 (1,2) - Maybe curve these a bit less No.
00:26:441 (1,2) - Rhythm like this is hard to reas as the repeat slider ends on white tick while the new slider begins on blue tick. I'd suggest you shorten the slider by one repeat and add a circle. *Read and fixed.

Also your new combos are kinda a mess. You sometimes have very long combos and sometimes you have a new combo after just one slider. You should even them out. Fixed the combos I felt were off.

Still a lot of work to do if you intend to rank this ^^I know.

Thanks for the mod~ Dunno how you found me but glad to have people who care XD
Sorry for rejecting so much of what you said, but I made this map with care and I'm not going to remap the entire thing to use distance snap when it limits me too much. There's different spots in the map that I'd like to have different snap distances and changing it each time is too much of a bother. You really think I wouldn't have already tried after even tutuhaha told me to?

Metaku wrote:

Distance snap is quite limiting but that's kinda the point of it. To keep the distance consistent through out the map because it's easier for newer players. That's why you should use other ways to emphasize notes in low diffs, like flow change and patterns and skipping notes for example, and leave jumps and other spacing changes for had diffs and up. Of course you don't have to remap but having easy and normal distance snapped is pretty much a standard in current maps and I think it can be hard to rank the map if you don't do so. Anyway I hope I didn't come across too mean but that's just how pretty much things work

Hi Hi ! M4M :3

General

- I think it's a pretty bad idea to map before the first timing point
- Remove "Widescreen Support" if you don't plan on doing a storyboard

Advanced

- 00:01:129 (3) - Maybe change this slider in two circle, because the sound 00:01:363 is as strong as the sound 00:00:191 (1) Fixed
- 00:03:941 (1,2) - Can be blanket a little bit better Blanket looks fine
- 00:10:504 (5) - NC here NCed 7 instead
- 00:16:129 (4) - This slider is really weird That's the point. Sliderart is a thing
- 00:29:723 (5) - Place this one a little higher so it'll look like blaket with 00:29:254 (4) Fixed
- 00:43:785 (2,3,4,5,6) - Put the stream on to of the slider, new players won't expect the 1/4 jump Advanced difficulty, not easy. New players won't expect anything
- 00:45:191 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1) - Same stuff here, do it like that 00:47:066 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) ^
- 00:54:566 (1,2,3) - ^ Made the distance from 3 to 4 farther. Should be good now
- 01:05:816 (1,2,3) - ^ ^
- 01:06:754 (4,5,6) - Make them blanket Fixed
- 01:07:691 (6) - NC here Didn't nc the previous pattern like this, and looks fine as it is so keeping it same combo
- 00:58:275 - Delete this green line, it's useless It's not useless. A lot of famous mappers untrigger and retrigger kiai time for the streams that appear at the beginning of it. Thats what this is

Medium

- 00:05:817 (4) - NC here Fixed
- 00:20:816 (1) - This reverse slider doesn't follow the strongs sounds of the music, maybe divide it into a reverse slider and a circle like that Fixed
- 00:50:348 (1) - Put this circle on the tip of the slider 00:50:816 (2) Overlaps once in a while make the map fun
- 01:05:348 (2) - Maybe stack this on 01:03:473 (2) Looks okay as it is

Umm... what is this supposed to be?

- 00:04:879 (3,1) - Spacing is the same as 00:04:410 (2,3) with different gap Fixed
- 00:12:379 (2,1) - Blank them ? Looks okay as it is

ok, it's all I have to say, I hope this was usefull :3
Have a Nice Day, and Good Luck with mapping ! :3

General

Difficulty difference between first two difs is only 0.22, while between second and third 1.79. Not a big issue, but it is better to keep difficulty spread.

Easy

In my opinion it is better to make it AR 3, with 2 you can see a lot of overlapping, which is not good. Overlaps are fun to read
00:04:410 (2,3) - move it a bit to the left to keep symmetry Fixed
00:18:004 (2) - different distance between previous and next circle Fixed
00:48:004 (3) - overlap with slider Again overlaps are fun to read. Thats the point

Advanced

Sliders are too fast for this song and bpm No they arent
Also, combo often goes higher than 10 without reason, which is not good. And here 00:16:832 (1) - it is unnecessary to start new combo. There are actually no combos that go higher than 10. And it looks better as a new combo

I know how things work with distancing but I think it should be okay now. Distance snap is not REQUIRED.

That's pretty wrong. Useing differnent DS in Normals is UNRANKABLE
And you wrote Aiming for ranked. If you are Aiming for Ranked you must use same DS in Easy/Normals because for Players on this Level it's impossible (for Example) to hit an Jump how big or small the Jump is. (Sorry for Drama lel)

General
Your using soft-custom hitsound and you dont use them at all. If you want to use the muted sliderslide for example you have to change the sound into SC1 instead of S. If you dont intend on using them delete them because otherwise it will be unrankable to have them in the folder without using them as you can see in the last point at "skinning" https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Ranking_Criteria


Beginner
This is unrankable and this is also like that for the most parts of your medium. https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Easy_(Difficulty)
You HAVE to use consistent spacing for the easy difficulty. You have to remap this if you want to get this ranked and use distance snap.
Thats probably the main issue of this map, it doesnt look too bad so yea, youd improve this map by a LOT by fixing the spacing.
Its way too hard for beginners to read such spacing.
Quoting the wiki: "Consistent spacing is required to teach beginners the correlation between timing and distance. Overall, you want to achieve the highest possible readability while keeping the balance between too boring and too complex beat patterns."


Besides of that you may also improve your beat placement a bit.. now you got a lot of pauses in your map like
00:19:879 - or 00:24:034 - or 00:31:129 - or 00:38:629 - even though the music is actually in these sections so you should at least make a slider of the last circle there or just add some circles. Pauses like that are not used anymore unless the music really makes a pause there or if it actually makes sense to not map there.

Another thing i noticed is that you dont use hitsounds at all in your map. They can improve your map by a bit too so ill make some for this diff to give an example how you COULD make the hitsounds good, your choice though.
00:03:941 (1) - , 00:17:066 (1) - , beginning of the slider on 00:20:816 (1) - ,
beginning of slider on 00:39:566 (1) - , 00:47:066 (1) - , 00:58:316 (1) - <-- all of these should have finishes

(Besides, i would actually use the soft hitsounds because they just sound much better imo but yea thats up to you really ^^ if you dont use soft i would recommend to still use the soft whistles by selecting "soft" at "additions" on the left for a note you want to have soft additions on.)
So yea.. soft whistles would fit good if you do them every big white tick. then youd have to make all finishes soft too. But if you make it consistent like this the hitsounds will rarely be bad.

00:05:816 (1) - Also at the end of this slider you hear a clap. i would always do a clap at such points too.

00:32:066 (1) - If you make sliders like this, try to make them symmetrical like: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7266328
It just looks weird if they are just done randomly ^^




Medium
For this you have to remake it too with consitent spacing. In a normal you should just use jumps VEEERY rarely or better if you dont use them at all. But like this its unrankable.
Quote from wiki: "Spacing should be mostly consistent to teach beginners the correlation between timing and distance. It is not recommended to change the distance spacing during the mapping process." (https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Normal)
and: "It is also highly recommended to avoid these:"
"spacing inconsistencies (close AND far placed notes within the same combo(s))"
"Beginners can easily be confused and disoriented by these, so they are unfit for a Normal difficulty unless absolutely necessary."

I would also recommend you adding more notes in this diff because the star rating is so low and its just an easier version of your easy even though you could make this a nice 2* diff

00:24:566 (1,2) - Dont use 2 sliderpoints here. 1 sliderpoint will give you a perfectly curved slider and this just makes it look weird tbh.
00:52:691 (3) - Same what i said to these sliders in beginner


Advanced
Another thing i noticed, just sometimes in your lower diffs but in this one alot, are your blankets
00:03:941 (1,2) - They look like this when they should look like https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7266442
Or one example later should look like: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7266444
This would make the map look much cleaner. Im sure you can find out all the blanket issues yourself in the map
01:06:285 (3) - Why did you randomly slow this slider down? This makes no sense music wise and i highly recommend deleting this slowdown because it will make people confused, maybe even making a mistake for no reason.

00:01:832 (5) - Stack with 00:02:770 (4) -

So yea, youll still have to work a bit on the map. But gl with it!

Quote from wiki: "Spacing should be mostly consistent to teach beginners the correlation between timing and distance. It is not recommended to change the distance spacing during the mapping process." (https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Normal)
and: "It is also highly recommended to avoid these:"
"spacing inconsistencies (close AND far placed notes within the same combo(s))"
"Beginners can easily be confused and disoriented by these, so they are unfit for a Normal difficulty unless absolutely necessary."

I would also recommend you adding more notes in this diff because the star rating is so low and its just an easier version of your easy even though you could make this a nice 2* diff Easier version of my easy? Its harder though...

00:24:566 (1,2) - Dont use 2 sliderpoints here. 1 sliderpoint will give you a perfectly curved slider and this just makes it look weird tbh. I like this shape
00:52:691 (3) - Same what i said to these sliders in beginner ^


Advanced
Another thing i noticed, just sometimes in your lower diffs but in this one alot, are your blankets
00:03:941 (1,2) - They look like this when they should look like https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7266442 Fixed
Or one example later should look like: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7266444 This blanket looks fine
This would make the map look much cleaner. Im sure you can find out all the blanket issues yourself in the map
01:06:285 (3) - Why did you randomly slow this slider down? This makes no sense music wise and i highly recommend deleting this slowdown because it will make people confused, maybe even making a mistake for no reason. Because it makes the map fun and hard to read. Thats kind of the point. Plus I want the slider that length.

00:01:832 (5) - Stack with 00:02:770 (4) - It wouldnt show up either way because theres 3 sliders efore this

So yea, youll still have to work a bit on the map. But gl with it!

I know that the wiki is outdated, though 90% of the things written there are still correct, so does it say in the forum post that you posted.
For easy "Time-distance equality should be used."
Same thing for normal.
And theres a reason you dont see jumps and many distance changers in at least 99% of all ranked normals/easy and i doubt you get your map ranked with your distance snap changing every 3 notes. This can be used 1-2 times in the map to highlight important parts of the map but not all the time since beginners will not be able to read this and therefore not enjoy the map.

Okay,Give me new Ranked Maps (PM me those Maps) were Normals have as a Highlight higher DS. I think you will find 0. If you would say that Hard Diffs don't have to be the DS. That would be true.

1. 00:00:285 (2,3) - overlap
2. 00:01:926 (1,2,3,4) - If you're gonna do this, at least make it symmetrical.
3. 00:03:098 (2) - Change to two circles. In the music, there are two active beats on the red and white tick. A slider would only work if the music sounds extended.
4. 00:03:801 (1) - Delete the inheriting point, actually delete all the ones that are 1.5x. 1.5x is unnecessary since the song isn't fast-paced. You're not really emphasizing any part of the music with it. Besides, it doesn't even play nicely. 1.0x and lower would completely suffice for this song.

11. 00:08:957 (1,2) - Add a circle on the blue tick (stack all three circles). If you listen to the music, there's a sound there. It would also make the transition into this vocal feel less sudden from the "uh-huh!"
12. 00:10:363 (5) - Just copy/paste (3)'s slider shape since they both emphasize the same vocal.
13. 00:11:535 (2,4) - There are active beats on the red and white ticks (sliders shouldn't pass through active sounds). Circles would better indicate the rhythm.
14. 00:15:988 (4) - Ugly looking tbh. If you wanted to make it look nice, you could just make it a circular slider.
15. 00:16:926 (1,2,1,2) - Should honestly just be straight sliders. You're already getting the message across that these are 1/4 rhythms since they're the shortest sliders. It's unncessary to make these more complex since it just confuses the player on which sliders are 1/4, and which are 1/2. Also, delete the 1.5 SVs as I stated above, it makes these unplayable.
16. 00:19:152 (2,3) - This double doesn't fit with the map since you're not repeating it to make it acceptable. I'm pretty sure doubles aren't even a pattern found in Hard/Advanced anyway.
17. 00:19:738 (1,2,3,4,5) - Bursts shouldn't be used in this difficulty. A slider would be better to emphasize the harmonica.
18. 00:34:738 (4) - Just copy/paste the shape from 00:32:863 (4). The song's tone doesn't change, so using the same slider shape would best indicate the constant upbeat tone.
19. 00:36:613 (4,5) - This rhythm doesn't feel right. How about use this instead?
20. 00:37:551 (1,2) - (2) is a passive sound, so you shouldn't start a circle on it. Just make (1) a straight slider, and add a repeat to it.
21. 00:38:488 (4,5) - 1.5x SV isn't nice
22. 00:38:957 (6) - Should be a 1/2 slider instead of a circle to emphasize those sounds between this note and 00:39:426 (1).
23. 00:39:894 (2,3) - (2) should be a 1/2 repeat (1/4 slider with a repeat), since the vocal sounds like it loops itself.
24. 00:41:652 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - The rhythm feels off. How about 1/2 repeats that start on the white ticks instead?
25. 00:43:644 (2,3,4,5) - Like I said, bursts and short streams work, but aren't suitable for Hard.

30. 00:45:051 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Yeah, this short stream isn't suitable for this difficulty, but what's worse is that there's a random 1/4 jump from (1) to (2). Honestly, that's really unsuitable for Hard since people who are only capable of playing up to hard difficulty aren't able to read 1/4 notes with large spacing between each note (i.e. jumpstreams that are actually just one stream, but look like they're different streams). I honestly think you should take a look at this video to see what I mean. This video shows the effect of a random 1/4 jump.

40. 00:53:957 (4) - Should be moved further away from (3), because "hey!" is more stressed than the rest of the vocal. Also NC for reason above.
41. 00:57:473 (1) - This should blanket 00:57:238 (9). The music gets softer, so there shouldn't be a huge change in spacing from the previous combo.
42. 00:59:113 (8) - Change to 1/1 repeat (1/2 slider with repeat).
43. 01:06:027 (3) - Just make it a 1/2 repeat like (1). Delete (2), because it's less important since it's on a blue tick, and not necessary if you're making this change.

Distance snap is good if you want to keep the spacing consistent for certain rhythms of a section. It's not meant for emphasizing intense sections of a song.

17. 00:19:738 (1,2,3,4,5) - Bursts shouldn't be used in this difficulty. A slider would be better to emphasize the harmonica. There are plenty of places where bursts can fitt in in this song. Here for example
