00:14:055 (3,3) - I don’t really understand what you wanna emphasise through that flow reversal
00:16:393 (2,3) - blanket could be better
00:20:484 (3,1) - should be straight as well to keep things consistent
00:21:848 (1,5) - stack
00:23:211 - was clickable in the last measure which is identical to this one, why not here ?
00:31:198 (3,4) - curve feels out of place here since 00:28:081 (3,4) were straight
00:46:783 (3,4,3) - here it’s the straight ones which feel out of place cause the entire kiai has curved sliders
01:08:211 (2) - don’t get the curve here either
[Lilyanna’s Normal]
Are you sure about making a CS4 normal ? I mean, it’s bigger than the Hard’s. Doesn’t necessarily need to change, but why did you want to have it as is ?
00:12:497 (1,2) - blanket DansGame
00:24:965 (1) - that spinner feels a bit short for a normal ( and it breaks a guideline of the ranking criteria so you’ll have to justify it ) so I suggest putting slider here instead
00:30:419 (3,1) - I don’t really think stacking those are a good idea, because stack leniency makes you unable to blanket both
00:34:315 (1,2,3,4) - straight sliders feel out of place since the whole kiai is made of curved expect for the sounds at 00:24:185 (1,2) - 00:31:978 (2,3), so putting them on another sound is contradictory
00:35:094 (3) - those are reversing the way flow goes while 00:28:471 (2,3) didn’t
00:38:991 (1,2,3) - blanket is uneven on the 2 sides
00:43:666 - the sound at 00:44:055 (1,2,3) starts here, plus it lets you catch the downbeat which is usually what you want in terms of emphasis
00:50:484 - you missed a sound here that you mapped with 00:49:900 (1)
01:00:809 (1,2) - blanket could be better
01:03:146 (1,2) - should be straight for consistency with that sound
[Hard]
00:16:978 (5) - red anchor feels out of place since 00:13:861 (5) was curved
00:30:419 (3) - this slider flows well with the 2 objects around it while 00:27:302 (3) reversed it, both are mapped to the same sound so they should be the same
00:31:588 (2) - it’s the other way around here ; this slider doesn’t have explicit circular flow with 00:31:004 (1) while 00:28:471 (2) did
00:32:757 (1,1) - why aren’t those wave sliders like 00:26:523 (1) - 00:29:640 (1) ?
00:36:653 (3) - should be 1/2 slider followed by circle to be consistent with the rest of the kiai
00:44:640 (4) - this doesn’t have that weird sound on it but it being part of the same pattern as 00:44:445 (3,4,5,6) makes it seem like it does, needs to be different
00:46:198 (4,5) - have explicit flow while 00:39:965 (4,5) didn’t, so it’s contradictory
00:50:484 (4,5) - improve blanket
00:58:081 (1,2,3) - inconsistent rhythm with 00:19:120 (2,3) while both measures are identical
00:59:640 (1) - same here ; 00:20:679 (1,2) was two circles for that same sound
01:03:146 (6,7,1) - triangle, so circular flow, while 00:24:185 (1,2,3) has a very linear one, that’s contradictory
01:11:718 (1,2) - 2 sliders for consistency with 01:05:484 (1,2)
01:12:497 (3,4) - I’d personally put circles here considering how similar this is to 01:06:263 (3,4,5,6,1) but you can make the argument that the sounds are still quite different so up to you
[Insane]
00:10:939 (1) - I think you can afford to silence that spinner since it doesn’t end on anything
00:25:257 - 00:25:841 - why did you ignore those ? They’re from the same flute as 00:24:965 (1,2,3) so it’s inconsistent to not map them
00:34:705 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - those jumps are way too different from 00:28:471 (1,2,3,4,5,6) ; while both alternate between a small and a large spacing, their positions aren’t consistent ; for example 00:29:055 (4,5) has a small DS while 00:29:250 (5,6) has a big one, while 00:35:289 (4,5) has big DS and 00:35:484 (5,6) small. Besides, the small spacing is smaller in 00:34:705 (1,2,3,4,5,6) ( 1.3x versus 2.03x for 00:29:055 (4,5) ), and 00:28:471 (1,2,3,4,5,6) is way less patterny ; DS have slight variations, and there are no stacks, while 00:34:705 (1,2,3,4,5,6) has rigid DS structure and is more geometrical. The combination of those make the jumps very inconsistent.
00:36:458 (3) - I don’t understand the sudden back & forth flow here ? 00:30:030 (2,3) was circular, so there’s no need to change that considering the song is identical
00:37:432 (1,2) - should be the same slider ; the difference in curves is enough to be noticed
00:40:939 (1,6) - ew
00:40:939 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - this is the only jump pattern with circular flow ; it’s inconsistent with the rest of the map where it’s a back & forth flow
00:41:718 (5,1,2) - eww
00:42:107 (1,2) - the way those are arranged is so similar to 1/1 sliders, they could easily be mistaken for those. You should make them stand out more through NC or whatever
00:44:055 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - those are too similar in intensity to 00:40:939 (1,2,3,4,5,6) ; it contradicts how you depicted it at 00:31:588 (1,2,3,4,5,6)
00:45:030 (6) - this feels out of place since you set up a back & forth flow during all the pattern, so the player would expect this to be like around the area of 00:44:055 (1,2)
00:45:614 (2) - should be 2 circles to be consistent with 00:39:380 (2,3)
00:45:224 (1,3,4) - stack
00:47:562 (5,6,7,8) - I understand that there’s a new sound coming in, but I’m not sure it’s a reason for such a big change in flow
00:48:731 (3,5,1) - improve blanket
01:00:030 (3,4,5,6,1) - I don’t really like how you used this pattern in 00:21:068 (2,3,4,5,1) as well, while here there’s a sound that’s missing compared to before
01:11:718 (1,2,3,4) - should be back & forth flow to be consistent with 01:05:484 (1,2,3,4)

00:27:107 (3,4,5) - I am an adult and will not make a penis joke
00:33:341 (3,4,5) - I am an adult and will not make a penis joke
00:38:211 (1) - while it’s perfectly acceptable to signify a change through NC, I think you should reserve another combo colour for when you do so, one that you never use elsewhere, so that the idea of having something new is even more apparent
00:41:718 (1) - this would be another time where you’d need that combo colour
00:41:231 (3,6) - blanket could be better
00:42:692 (3,4,5) - I am an adult and will not make a penis joke
00:45:809 (3,4,5) - I AM AN ADULT AND WILL NOT MAKE A PENIS JOKE
01:07:042 (1,2,3) - should be red anchor sliders here since you carried on the idea of alternating curves and red anchors in 01:08:796 (1,2,3)
In all honesty that diff was very solid, there was pretty much nothing I could find aside from that, and believe me I’ve tried lol
Anyway, I think this set has potential for rank, especially since it’s a featured artist so Loctav’s queue should be open to you
Good luck ~

While all rules must be followed in any circumstance, guidelines may be violated under exceptional circumstances. These exceptional circumstances must be warranted by an exhaustive explanation as of why the guideline has been violated and why not violating it will interfere with the overall quality of the creation.00:26:523 (1,3) - why red anchors here ? there isn’t a change in the music that warrants a change in slidershapes
