5. modding assistant says you have some unsnapped stuff in every diff. im not sure about on the lowdiffs but double check the topdiff for unsnapped stuff

1. 00:12:110 (1,1) - why not continue the patterns downward motion instead of stacking on the head
2. 00:12:485 (1,1) - the distance between these two makes the circle very underwhelming, i would buff the jump
3. 00:22:610 (1,2,3,4,1) - maybe you should make the decrease in spacing more consistent here, currently it looks kinda meh
4. 00:24:860 - is there any reason you're ncing like everything here?
5. 00:32:360 (1,1,1) - imo you should use the directional concept you used 00:27:860 (1,1,1) here, to make the variation more consistent and yeah
6. 01:06:485 (1,2) - would prefer if this was right at the end of the slider tail
7. 01:12:110 (1) - this slider skips over some pretty strong drums, are you sure that's what you wanna do?
8. 01:48:110 - imo a triplet here works better because there is a sound you're skipping that plays on the blue tick
9. the nc spam kinda takes away from the map imo, a lot of things feel less unique because the ncs make everything want to be unique. i would be less liberal with your nc patterns overall

1. 00:07:797 - simplification is okay but i think just mapping this as 1/6 works fine, because the bpm is pretty low and it's a hold slider anyways so. if you apply this, do it anywhere else you feel is applicable
2. 00:47:735 - here would be one of those places
3. 01:48:672 - I feel like you could do a triple here because the drum sounds are pretty strong

1. 00:55:985 (4,5,6) - the distance change here paired with the fact you're going into a triple might be bit much, even though the bpm is low.
2. 00:57:485 (4,5,6) - same here

[Timing]

1. On the last uninherited timing point, 01:58:516 - is where a main beat lands. Might need to shift the point to the left to fix that. Isn't the white tick stronger? I don't really follow that red tick in any of the diffs anyway

[Easy]

1. Selecting custom combo colours is strongly recommended. Added a yellow and blue one for now, will use colorhax at later time ^^
2. 00:15:860 (1) - Maybe it's just me lol, but considering the flow established by 00:13:985 (3,4) - and the position 00:15:860 (1) - being included in the area where the flow could be continued, the slider feels a bit awkward, since its motion is opposite to the one established. What I suggest abt this is to continue the CW flow or make use of the flow between 00:15:110 (4,1) - (like in 00:18:110 (4,1) - ). Sure, changed some stuff around to follow that idea a bit more
3. 00:39:860 (1,2,3,4,1) - This part is, imo, prone to confusion. The combo number helps, but that's just for me, idk about the beginners. Scenarios may happen where slider ends are tapped or some other ways, to avoid that, I think it would be nice to spread them out rather than revolve at the area. That's on purpose, 'cause the normal uses overlaps a little more than the easy does.
4. 01:27:860 (1) - Awkward-ish slider motion, same explanation on the first one can be applied. CCW established flow, this time :3 did something :3
5. 01:28:610 (2) - Um... Weird slider shape. on purpose, represents the change in rhythm.
6. 01:36:860 - Aw... The pre-kiai things are missing. Well, I suggest ending the spinner at 01:35:360 - so there would be time to put objects at the position where the inherited timing point is. Changed, but the spinner sounds odd lol
7. 01:42:110 - It would be nice to have this clickable, just like 01:39:110 (2) - . Oh, also, a rhythm suggestion, switch 01:40:985 (3,4) - . So the slider would start at 01:40:985 (3) - and the circle would be a the end of 01:41:360 (4) - .
8. 01:57:297 (1,2) - Weird rhythm here. I suggest this:
   

Changed, but in a different way.

[Normal]

1. Selecting custom combo colours is strongly recommended. same as first :3
2. 00:17:360 (4) - I feel like this should point to the left more.This is so that the curved-ish flow between 00:17:360 (4,5) - would be smooth. (or something like 00:05:360 (3,4,5) - ) adjusted slightly :3
3. 00:38:360 (2,3,4) - This rhythm seems out of place. All other are variants of this pattern 00:36:860 (2,3,1) - , and the mentioned pattern was never repeated for this section. I really suggest having consistency. Plus the 00:36:860 (2,3,1) - pattern represents the song more imo. (+ impt. sound on 00:38:641 - )
4. 00:41:360 (4,5,6,1) - Don't, um... these look cramped? Completely reworked the section - The parts are more simplified now, and I made the part in the previous suggestion reverse like the others.
5. 00:50:360 (2,3) - It would be a lot better if the motion of 00:50:360 (2) - would lead to 00:51:110 (3) - more. As for now it kinda plays weird for me. Same goes to 00:51:860 (1,2) - . done for these two, was an easy fix surprisingly enough.
6. 01:18:860 (1,2,3) - Sudden change in position pattern? It used to be a back-and-forth pattern for parts like this. I do the exact same on 00:30:860 (1,2,3) - reason is because the 1/2 sliders make the part quite dense, so having a lot of 1/2 rhythms + overlaps would be too confusing.
7. 01:41:360 (5,6) - and 01:47:360 (1,2,3) - Consistency
   
   1. 01:41:360 (5) - NC | or | 01:47:360 (1) - Remove NC added NC to 1:41 and added a singletap to 1:41
   2. 01:41:922 - A circle must be here | or | 01:47:922 (2) - Remove circle look above xd
8. 01:58:028 - to end - The sliders are off. At 01:58:516 - , a sound (rising "whoop"-ish sound) which lasts until 01:58:760. And at 01:59:492 - a decreasing sound starts here and ends at 01:59:736 - . That said, pretty sure those two should have sliders. decreased density all-together because the hard diff is less dense in the end
   

[Hard]

1. Selecting custom combo colours is strongly recommended. hi
2. 00:03:485 (4,1) - I feel like there shouldn't be a stack here. Doing it like 00:06:485 (4,1) - would be nice. I really can't explain it with words, but it goes something like linked notes and new section thing. Sorry ;w; made 3,4 a stack for emphasis reasons.
3. 00:18:485 (1) - Prone to confusion thing. Though this stack is okay, I recommend to use a short DS rather than have it like this, since imo, usually stacks would be used for 1/2s or 1/1s (00:26:360 (1,2) - ). Short DS's however may have players capable of reading the thing easily and quickly as 1/4s. (The NC helps, but... 01:39:485 (7,1) - .) considering that reading becomes more prominent later, this shouldn't be too problematic - the stack justifies a difference in flow, because it's the first time I stack under a slider, also the 7,1 thing is explanable by the downbeat, so they shouldn't be related xd
4. 00:54:860 (1) - Plays weird. Flow could be still improved. Doing something like in 00:33:860 (1,2) - Would be better. Oh, and doing that helps with the flow between 00:54:860 (1,2) - too. It's also inconsistent, so I changed it lol
5. 01:09:860 (1,2,1,2) - SV changes weren't really too many, so I guess all NC? The SV changes aren't really that massive imo, and the fact that the slider shape is the same makes people realize that it's the same length.
6. 01:12:860 (1) - Unemphasized. rip ;w; | Avoid stacks pl ;w; | It would flow weirdly if it were spaced imo considering the SV changes beforehand - it's good for the spread too considering the overlaps on the insane are super gimmicky.
7. 01:28:985 (4,1) - Just like 00:18:485 (1) - , but in this case, action should be done because this part features both 1/2 and 1/1 stacks. The sound is a lot different and on a blue tick, so the stack is pretty important for readability (if you remember the easy diff, that was the reason for the odd shape too)
8. 01:35:360 (1,2,3) - Suddenly empty? I mean, nothing much has changed in the music, so... It's the same reason I made the long slider in the first chorus - the density with those 1/4 sliders are really large, so making it simplistic afterwards adds a nice break for the player, so they don't get overwhelmed.
9. Just like other ones, 01:58:516 - Slider should start here. I disagree, the deep pitched sound is pretty strong too, so both ideas would work.

[Insane]

1. 00:26:360 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - I don't think distances like these are fit for insanes. This part is also more spaced than the rest on the top diff, I find this part pretty distinct.
2. 00:46:047 (2) - Not really much significant sound here (except on 00:46:141, which I think where the slider should start if ever), so I think it could be one with the stream. It follows the weird "click" sound in the song, which goes on 1/4 from 00:45:860 - (On 00:47:735 - , it switches to 1/8, but just putting a buzz slider in there wouldn't really work, so I made a stream continuation to simplify the rhythm.
3. 01:54:485 (1) - As much as I like it, I don't think this is recommended. Would be fine if it's a 1/4 since it would be over before it's noticed. But since it's a 1/2, the slider end may be left unnoticed and cause a break, thinking it had stopped on 01:54:485 - . Well, that's my view on that lol. There's been so many similar overlaps in this diff, that this one shouldn't be nearly as bad - I even made it 1/2 on purpose to prevent too many sliderend chokes (on the top diff it's 3/4)

Really like this one :3

[Scorched]I won't be able to mod this ;w; , I don't think I know how to mod types of maps like this, so there. But, one thing, 00:27:391 - The pop here sounds out of place. imo, it should be placed at 00:27:860 - . (00:33:391 (2) - too, so on...).
Anyway, really like the style and the hitsounds too! Really cool :3 Thanks dude, the hitsounds especially are very experimental, so I'm glad you like them xD I'll look into the bubble thing

That's all from me. Good luck! Thanks man, very helpful mod!

Your audio file is 128kbps which is fine for RC, but I decided to take the high quality mp3 from the album and mix it down to 192kbps: https://puu.sh/uprqE/f44f83c91e.mp3 Replace audio.mp3 with the one provided Will do!

https://puu.sh/ups86/27b677edc5.wav I increased the volume of hitnormal but idk if its the sound itself or just the volume that makes it hard to hear for me. Let's seeee

Easy

00:16:985 (3,4) - I would line up 4 so it is parallel to the wire https://puu.sh/upsd0/adca907e31.png Not really a fan of that aesthetic

Why does the kiai feel so undermapped in terms of rhythm? You ignore a lot of white ticks that I feel like could be mapped to, even as 1/1 sliders, sounds like 00:37:235 - for example, especially since the non-kiai parts seem to have more dense rhythm? 00:40:985 (2,4) - this is an overlap which adds quite a bit of difficulty on an easy diff. There's also a bigger note distribution on stuff like 00:42:485 (4,1,2,2) - in terms of single taps compared to sliders

01:28:610 (2,3) - Why stacked? Because the rhythm is way different than the other parts of the song, it's basically the only part where the rhythm varies in a weird way
01:40:985 (3,1) - Possible to avoid overlap? Don't really find it too problematic here tbh
01:42:860 (1,3) - Really close to each other adjusted
01:45:110 (4,5) - Also pretty close moved a bit
01:58:760 (2,3) - bad rhythm choice imo, should be clickable redticks would be too confusing considering I don't use clickable red-ticks except for the 01:29:547 (3) - part which has an aesthetic change because of it.

Normal

00:03:485 (6,1) - Blanket?
00:04:610 (2,3) - I think the flow here could be adjusted
00:25:610 (3,4,5) - Needs to be less oval-y I think They weren't perfectly symmetric, so I fixed that, but I didn't change the shape, 'cause I find it alright
00:28:610 (3,4,5) - guess it goes for all of them like this, they just don't look that nice to me same xd
00:33:110 (6) - Instead of blanketing with 00:31:610 (3) - I think it would look better if 00:33:110 (6) - was centered between 00:31:610 (3,5) - these two, like how 00:32:172 (4) - is positioned or w.e. changed, but differently
01:38:360 (2) - More symmetrical slidershape? fixed, not really noticeable tho lol
01:39:860 (1,2,3) - Tiny bit more circular would look nicer It's rotated the same amount as the 3 sections before this one

Hard

00:07:235 (2) - Move this 1 px to the right xd
00:48:485 (2) - move 1px right 1 px down xd

00:28:985 (4) - Stack this on head of 00:29:360 (1) - ? done
00:35:360 (1) - This is too far away/angle is bad I think That's the same as the kickslider distances though
00:38:641 (2) - Put it on this side of 00:38:360 (1) - https://puu.sh/upLQI/f8e38f8453.png, 00:39:110 (3) - have to adjust that one after I find the previous one to look better tbh
00:40:985 (3,1) - The "stack" is off like one pixel aaa
00:49:985 (1,1) - ^ whoops, yeah that one was pretty noticeable
01:52:235 (2) - Unsnapped slider

00:59:547 - I think you should add something at this small part before the break. I'll think about it - I think either thing works, but I'd mainly go for my own because I go pretty ham with spacing here.
01:41:735 (2) - Blanket this. fixed <3

Insane

00:02:360 (1,2) - Copy the first slider and rotate in 180 degrees instead of making an entirely new slider for this pattern. fixed
00:49:610 (1) - This is pretty uncomfortable to play. I would rotate this slider about 65 degrees. Implying you read the pattern correctly in-game, the rotation from 00:49:610 (1) - leads into the next slider well - People don't "just" stay still when they see sliders xd
01:54:485 (1) - Pretty sure this slider is unrankable but either way its pretty hard to read. The sliderborder is visible, so it's not unrankable - It's also 1/2 instead of 3/4 like in the scorched diff ^^ The readability should be just as confusing as a large amount of the sliders in the kiai's, so it fits imo

Scorched

I actually have nothing to say about this diff. It's pretty damn good. Wow, thanks dude



Good luck on getting this ranked! Thanks man Also since this was a pretty short and bad mod in comparison to yours i'll mod another map of yours if you ever need it Might take advantage of that (; Thanks again!

[General]
For the record, I don't like your NCing, but it makes some sense sometimes. Phrase-based NCing really only makes sense at the higher difficulties though, so you may want to go over your lower difficulties to make sure the NCing is consistent. I'll check the NC'ing for the lowest diffs a little later
Your Easy-Normal spread isn't good. Easy is mostly 2/1 right now, with some 1/1, but your Normal is fairly dense with 1/2 rhythms. The vast majority of the 1/2 rhythms on the normal are passive though with sliders

[Scorched]
00:05:360 (1) - You could adjust the slider a bit to point towards the next note in a cleaner way sure
00:06:860 (1,2) - I like how it looks and it makes some sense, but this spacing is confusingly small, especially since you use spacing that is roughly the same as It functions like a stack, and the transition to 00:07:610 (3) - is a lot better this way rather than a normal stack (and spacing it requires me to rework the pattern due to aesthetics which I focus on a lot
00:08:360 (1,2). Consider increasing spacing here. I don't understand why, it's just as spaced as 00:06:860 (1,2) -
00:07:985 - Why not make this clickable? It's part of the rhythm you're following. Both things work, I personally prefer my own due to the song not being intense yet
00:07:235 (2) - The sounds this slider are following are both equal strength and part of the sounds you're following in this section. Two 1/2 circles would work better here. the slider indicates that the clap/drums have been added, since there's more single taps before this. (Feels more "flowy")
00:19:610 (3,4) - The first instance where you have similar looking stacks for two different rhythms. You may want to raise stack leniency or try a different spacing concept here. Then again, there's something similar on 00:10:610 (3,4) - making this less problematic imo, even if it's a different section - I had to change something though due to the suggestion under this one, so meh xdd
00:20:360 (1,2,3) - Use similar motion to 00:17:360 (1,2,3)? The reason I didn't point rhythm in this section was because of the movement you used to emphasize the slider tail of 2. Fixed, had to rework a section a bit lol
00:22:610 (1,2,3,4) - As they are, they don't have a visual connection to anything around them. I could understand if you used a consistent overlap concept here, but other than their spacing and the fact that they're on a curve, this looks random. My suggestion. I notice that you use a similar overlap idea here later on at 00:24:297 (2,1), so you could also just make it more obvious that this is what you're introducing here. Fixed stuff differently
00:35:360 (1,2,3,4,1) - Why not try lowering the spacing even more than what you already have, something like this but prettier? considering what I do later, that would be incongruous.
00:43:610 (2,1) - Visual spacing is a bit tight here, careful not to break your patterns. made the aesthetic I tried to do more obvious.
00:45:860 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - I don't think this rhythm makes it clear as to what you're following. There is a constant 1/4 in this measure, but there are still some beats that are stronger than the rest. Try this. I don't see why I would use a reverse here tbh - Also the 1/4 section is continuous, with no difference in sound, making the
00:48:860 (1,2,3) - You could use 1/4 sliders here to accentuate the short holds that each of these sounds have, compared to the beats in the previous section. I'd have to make them 1/8, 'cause I used a sudden 1/8 slider earlier, and nah, I just feel like single taps are better.
00:49:610 - Yeah I don't really like the rhythm in this section. Intensity feels the same as the previous section, yet more instruments have made their way into the mix. You skip strong drums like 00:50:735 which could at least be represented with a slider end, and I hear some sort of 1/4 throughout that could be used to emphasize the stronger sounds (You could use 1/4 sliders in place of some circles to emphasize the melody, as an example). 1/4 sliders with nothing right after flows really badly imo, and if I did a note afterwards (like you mentioned with 50:735), I'd have to emphasize it in some way with spacing, making it incongruous in the beginning - I also don't really find the bass sound strong enough to warrant more notes - It could warrant more spacing, sure, but that would make the map feel like it shouldn't be CS5 due to spacing and overlaps being represented differently with tiny changes.
00:57:860 (1,2,1,2) - There's some cool stuff in the background going on here, and you could map it while keeping your current clicking rhythms. Right now this is quite underwhelming and takes away from the contrast that 00:59:360 (1,2,3,4,5) is intended to serve. What I would suggest. It's personally feels too click intensive for what I had in mind - The rhythm also does something different which is why I change the rhythm there xd I tried doing something where I started with a kickslider, but that didn't really do too much for me either, so I varied the section a tiny bit, but spacing/rhythm is the same.
01:15:672 (1) - Not horizontal like your previous one at 00:27:672 (1). Takes away from the pattern's meaning imo. I disagree, this pattern flows really well, and it doesn't have to be THAT consistent xd
01:23:360 (1,2,3,4) - Again i'd recommend a spacing reduction here for better representation of the intensity decrease. Something like this perhaps. I again think it's too much, and it would be even more confusing with low spacing here because of the stream.
01:27:485 (5,6,1) - This time around the melody does something slightly different, so you could try incorporating a new movement concept. Before you had 5 lead into the next note with a 1/4 gap with comfortable motion, but the melody is suggesting something jerkier, so you could do something like this. Isn't 01:26:641 (2,5) - this overlap jerky enough already? xd
01:32:360 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Quite the different rhythm from 01:26:360 (1,2,3,4,5,6) for the same sounds and little to no intensity increase. The 3 single taps indicate that a change is coming up, so it should make some sense imo.
01:34:422 (5,5,6) - Yeah, not a fan of how you don't really emphasize these considering they were the main rhythm you were following, and the snare is constant. It would require a rhythm rework here similar to my previous suggestion. The hitsounding hits on the kicksliders (01:34:610 - ) :thinking: xd

[Insane]
In general this difficulty looks really cramped. It was less obvious in the Extra that you weren't using the entire playfield, but here it is quite obvious that you don't use certain parts of the field at all. If you're talking about stuff like the symmetry section, that's 100% intentional. The overlaps in the chorus are justified by the consistency provided, and since players start learning gimmicks and intense rhythms during insane and extra difficulties, both things work - Spread is a little more "free" here if you could say that (can't find a word for it lol).
00:30:391 - You're ignoring a strong and prominent beat here. In the Extra it was more obvious what you were following because you used sliders, but now that you're not doing that, the presence of this beat makes it hard to tell what exactly is being followed by 00:30:110 (1,2,3,4). The rhythm is amplified by like 2x here, making the drum sound a little less important - I could've made a kickslider to represent lower intensity, but that's incongruous imo
00:41:360 (1,2,1) - There is both rhythm and spacing confusion here. Spacing between these three notes is very similar despite being different snaps, and there is a strong beat being skipped on 00:41:735 which could be fixed by shortening 00:41:360 (1) and using a 1/4 slider on 00:41:641. 00:44:360 (1,2,1) - same would apply here tbh, it's not really too bad, it's only the visual spacing, and if they nail the overlaps, that reading pattern shouldn't be an issue either.
00:46:235 (3,4,5,6,1) - Why is the 1/4 spacing just as large as it was in the Extra? It doesn't really make sense imo. considering the kicksliders are less spaced, and the intensity is lower with 00:46:610 (1,2) - , this shouldn't be an issue. (It would also make it more cramped and ergh)
00:50:360 (1,1) - Overlap you probably didn't want. Fixed, required some reworking, i also fixed something later at 56-seconds ish if that interests you xd
01:34:985 (5,6) - I would try something like this, because the big whit tick really doesn't have a strong beat. 1: my emphasis is the same as on the extra, just with two kicksliders instead
2: The reverse slider you use contradicts the one at 01:34:235 (5) - , due to the amount of reverse arrows.
3: the white tick is supported by the hitsounding, which is based on the drum beats in the song, so the emphasis should be okay.
01:36:485 (1) - An SV increase would be nice here, I don't think the NC is enough to make this more readable. The NC should be enough considering how gimmicky the diff is already - I'd be too friendly basically compared to everything else.
01:54:391 (4,1) - This is just begging for players to sliderbreak here. You haven't established anywhere in the map where you hide the tail under the previous note, and here you're introducing a slider velocity decrease. You may want some more opinions on this. It's 1/2 on purpose, it's 3/4 on the extra - the sliderborder is also visible. If you play through it, you realize how short the slider is timing wise too. (Also, if they actually sliderbreak, they don't lose combo, there's no slider tick)

A lot of the stuff I said about the Extra could also be applied to this diff. The diffs are a lot different from each other xd

[Hard]
AR is quite high for this BPM and note density. I suggest dropping it to AR 7-7.5, and adjust the OD accordingly. Bad idea, there's a crap ton of overlaps.
You have really inconsistent 1/1 spacings in this difficulty. 00:01:985 (4,1) - 1.6x, 00:03:485 (4,1) - 1.3x, 00:04:985 (4,1) - 1.4x, 00:06:485 (4,1) - 1.0x, 00:07:797 (4,1) - 1.7x. Varience in spacing is fine for a Hard difficulty, but this is too much, to the point where it won't be predictable for players of this level. This is a fairly big problem, and the only way to fix it is to decide what spacings you would want to stick with. Actually, I noticed that you did this for other snaps as well like 3/4 at 01:27:860 (1,2) and 01:29:266 (1,2), so please reconsider your spacing concepts in this difficulty. I evened out a good bunch of them
00:06:860 (1,2,3,4) - Messy pattern, try something like this. why does it look like that lmfao, fixed
00:18:110 (4,1) - Could you rotate 1 a bit so that it's tail doesn't overlap the slider body of 4? rotated 6 degrees
01:45:485 (6,1) - I'm fairly certain this is unrankable. 1/2 snaps should not be perfectly overlapping, please stack these. wait why ,o.O I don't understand why this would be unrankable.

[Normal]
AR is also quite high here. Drop it to 5 or slightly lower. Same thing applies as the hard diff, but I'm open to change it to 5.1
You use some really high rhythm density in the less intense parts, which is unbalancing your difficulty. The song is less intense in the chorus if you undermap the 1/4's (which you're forced to on normals and easies)
00:18:110 (6) - I recommend changing this to two 1/1 circles, since the beat on the tail of this slider is quite strong as a rhythm you're following. Agreed
00:40:985 (3,4,5) - This is sketchy, since the slider end of 3 has equal distance to 4 and 5. Even if the slider is being directed towards 4, this may be a bit hard for players at this level to comprehend. I'd rotate 4 around to create a wider angle between the tail of 3, head of 4, and 5. Wouldn't 00:39:485 (4,1,2) - be worse though? The triangle should be less problematic, the player would focus on the reverse arrow.
00:42:485 (6,1,2) - This is definitely too hard for players to read at this level, since they would probably just stop and hit 2 instead of going all the way to 1.
00:49:610 (2,3) - If 3 was stronger, I'd be fine with this rhythm, but since it isn't, please use a 1/2 slider here. I'll just send this picture: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7542454 The player will move to 1 after hitting 6 due to this
01:15:110 (6,1,2) - Ambiguous placements. 6 doesn't directly point to 1, but also to 2. You should move some stuff around to make it more clear that 6 is directed towards 1 before 2, as right now I think the pattern confuses the player in having to decide between 1 and 2. curved 6
01:29:735 (2,3,4) - Another ambiguous placement. Refer to 00:40:985 (3,4,5). same
01:54:110 - Fix your kiai time... oops

[Easy]
00:08:735 (3) - 00:08:360 is a stronger note for the rhythm you're following. It follows the claps rather than the rhythm when the claps come - If I added both, i'd be too dense too aaa
00:12:860 (1,2,3) - Similar to the normal but more of a priority, avoid tight note placements like this, since they are confusing for beginners. Here I made 100% sure that the slider directs to the note, so I was actually able to make a triangle like I do very often on every other diff xd
00:15:110 (4,1) - Pattern screams hard for newbies, but I'd just get more opinions on this. agree, time to fix zzz
00:18:485 - At this BPM, you don't need this many 2/1 gaps. Just map this, a circle or a slider end (I'd prefer a circle).
00:27:860 (1,2,3) - Okay i'm just going to stop pointing these ambiguous placements out. Fix these. Nothing wrong with that one though, the slider direction is really clear
00:48:860 (1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4) - One of the most intense parts of the song and it's mapped with lower rhythm density than most of your calmer sections. This is a big problem. Map some more 1/1 here, man. There's already quite a few single taps relative to sliders like before :3

GL fam. thanks boiiii <3 <3 A lot of nice points :3

It's indeed against one of the new guidelines, so either provide reasoning for why you need to keep them, or space them out since 1/4 and 1/2 stacks in close proximity create reading issues.

Scorched

00:06:485 (2) - Stack with 00:05:360 (1) - 's tail? Fits your structure better. Oh lol yup obviously, didn't even see that xD
00:24:110 (1,2,1) - The overlap looks kinda bad. I think you can improve aesthetic here. Did some tiny adjustments so slider 1 and note 2, so they are doing a mirror with the tail https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7727958 - I feel like doing much else would ruin the flow
00:30:110 (1,2,1,2) - Not a fan of this xP. I tink if you want to follow those notes, don't put such large jumps, and switch the structure to some different slider pattern to show a better visual distinction from the previous section. Otherwise, people are expecting to click on 00:30:391 - due to the kick. The NC's on the first "kick sliders" are 1,1,1 to warrant that rhythm change, but the next ones are 1,2,1,2 - I probably need to get a few more opinions on this/testplays, 'cause apart from the jump size (which I'll probably end up changing up a bit), I don't find it to be that incongruous to play
00:33:110 (1,2,3) - Not a good design here imo. Just confuses people. Keep this aesthetic in the chorus imo, cuz they fit a lot better due to how consistent they are. Revamped to two sliders with the 2nd slider having a different shape because of the 3/4 (I didn't do the 3/4 kicksliders since they would make the next transition pretty tough to get through 'cause slider shapes xd

Kiai is great though! Thanks a lot <3

01:04:985 (1,1,2,3,4,1,2) - Felt random to me xP. Can you explain why you only mapped here and not elsewhere? Or why you didnt' want to make this part a break? Like, there's the extra hihat track here, but your rhythm choice just follows the main melody which is why i'm confused lol. When I mapped this the first time, I was thinking that if I just made a long break, it would just be boring to wait through, so adding that small section would just give a little something before the next section happens. However, I'll map it on the insane and scorched diff, since at this level of gameplay, they should be able to keep their stamina in check :3

01:18:110 (1,2,1,2) - Earlier. Same answer, here it's not as bad tho imo, but I'll probably end up making it reading based with the first pattern or something idk xd
01:21:860 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - This looks off-symmetrical. Like, if you tried to draw a line in between to show symmetry, you'd notice that it's off. If you're not familiar with the Ctrl+H + Ctrl+> method for setting up patterns like this, I recommend just making the pattern using y-axis symmetry and then rotating the whole pattern after you're done. Done, I didn't know the ctrl+> thing actually, has made some of my more recent maps like 50 times easier to make LOL thanks a lot (For now I did y-axis symmetry, 'cause it was easier with all the overlaps that way)
01:38:360 (1,2) - Not really a fan of this rhythm since it prevents 01:38:641 - from being clickable. It's kinda odd because you do stuff like 01:41:641 (2,3) - and use triplets a lot which do have clicking support. The reason I only did it on 1:41 was because the pitch was vastly different from the other parts that do the unclickable part (I felt it would be overkill to make that many beats on a CS5 diff)
01:59:492 (2,3,4) - How about Ctrl+H'ing and using the right side of the screen instead? ;o Definitely wouldn't hurt :3 (I also lined everything up on the middle of the screen (it was slightly on the right for some reason zzz xd)

Insane

00:05:735 (2,3,1) - Spacing seems slightly off here.. fixed
00:15:672 (5,1) - I think people are going to get spacing and emphasis confused here. Jump from 5>1 then 1/1 gap from 1>2. It's the only time you use this construction in the intro which is why it feels out of place. You use it more often (and consistently) on Scorched so people are more aware of their rhythm. Yup, I donno why I did that in the first place - I made the spacing different between those 3 objects.
00:21:672 (2) - Might be tunnelling too hard on that stack imo. I think something like this fits your visible structure better. The stack recurrence won't be noticed in gameplay, whereas the current inconsistent structure will be.

~

00:23:360 (1,2,1,2,1) - Parallel / gradually rotated sliders are generally better for showcasing SV changes, I guess its okay here but not something I'd personally recommend xD. Might make them straight or something later xd
00:33:860 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - but this is 10/10 aaay
00:35:547 - Not going to map these tho? Seems like a missed opportunity. This is still an Insane Considering how circular the kickslider flow is, I'd prefer not doing that on the insane - I might do something if it gets mentioned later in the ranking process but ye
00:54:860 (1,2,3,4) - Structure just looks a bit off here. I believe I fixed this
00:56:922 (2,3,4,5) - Same here. I think so too (I think I changed these before I responded or something I forget o.o)
01:23:547 - Same as earlier I wanted to be consistent with not mapping it after I had the first section :p
01:54:485 (1) - Imo, this will just confuse players xP. A lot of people have said that - The 1/2 should be fine I think xd, the map is already gimmicky enough :3

Hard

00:13:235 (2,3,1) - Spacing is going to confuse players. Don't associate 1/2 and 1/1 rhythms with the same visual spacing on Hard.
00:16:235 (2,3,1) - This is better, tho imo, the spacing is pretty big for a Hard.
00:18:485 (1,1,2) - Same about spacing. I think the SV increase just causes more unnecessary confusion
00:53:360 (1,2,3,4) - Same about spacing.
00:54:860 (1,2,3) - Ehh... Not sure how I feel about this too, the way it's going to be played, theres a lot of opportunity to use slider-leniency here to play 1.
01:19:985 (2,3,1,2) - etc... spacing.

Okay, generally, I think the spacing in this diff just isn't intuitive for a Hard. There are too many 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 rhythms being mapped to the same visual spacing and it's not a good thing for this diff imo. Keep gimmicky stuff on higher diffs.

I replaced my own diff with Ren's, so these things shouldn't apply anymore ^^ (That diff is a lot better than mine xd)

Normal

00:33:110 (6) - Ctrl+G flows better coming out of 5's curve. true, also rotated it like 8 degrees
00:49:610 (2,3) - Use a 1/2 slider instead. 3 circles is odd for a Normal. You usually expect 1, 2, or 4 for white tick rhythms. done
01:04:891 - Extended break doesn't seem necessary, 01:08:453 - too why did I even do that lol fixed
01:56:172 - ^ hi
02:00:223 (3) - Use a 1/2 slider with a red node in the middle instead? 1/4 repeat isn't recommended on Normal cuz its a slider length that's really too short and compacts everything together. Also, the repeat is barely visible due to the luminosity fixed to a 1/2 slider (made a mirror of the previous one)

~

Easy

00:00:860 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - Here, I can understand if you want to simplify rhythms and skip noticeable beats. I actually added 2 1/2 sliders to replace two of the single taps in this part (The part afterwards is still more dense than this section)
00:06:860 (1,2) - Starting here and onward though, your rhythm choice is really simple, but misses the main melody of the map.

Is what a base melody would be like

00:11:360 - For example, is unmapped despite being a downbeat. In this section I did some reverses and 1/1 sliders
00:14:360 - ^ 00:15:485 - Is also unmapped. made it similar to your rhythm, the emphasis is just distributed a little differently (single taps start on the downbeat instead)

Example rhythm

00:20:360 - ^ Yup remapped all of this [color=#008000](00:24:860 - All the stuff from here is the same untill your next suggestion) [/color]
00:39:110 (2) - 1/1 slider instead? I added a single tap in the empty space instead :3
00:49:985 (1) - Ignoring downbeat again ;c will fix :3
00:51:485 - And notes like this ;c <3
01:12:860 (1,3) - Kinda a missed opportunity for symmetry but o well. Lol that was a mistake
01:18:860 (1,2,3,4) - Much better rhythm
01:30:485 - Could be clickable too. Fixed with the rework

Yea, generally the rhythm on this Easy is too simple, but you also simplify in a way that is not very intuitive. Making the whole diff more dense (basically a full rhythm rework, which in return also makes me revise the structure a fair bit (there's very few 2/1 gaps now)

Alright, good luck! Thanks man, sorry for the super late reply o.o, great mod!

General
-considering the nature of this song, i think it would be a good candidate for colorhaxing. example places (in Scorched): 00:30:116 (1,2,1,2) - 00:36:866 (1) - 00:42:866 (1) - 00:48:866 (1) - 00:54:866 (1) - 01:06:491 (1) - 01:29:553 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4) - 01:35:366 (1,2,1,2,1,2) imo I really like the simplistic nature of the 2-color thing I'm doing, since the background has pretty "chaotic" and random color usage, giving some difference in contrast. I might PM you regarding this though to maybe get some color ideas, since the idea makes a lot of sense

Scorched
00:58:897 (4) - could change the shape of the slider to emphasize note here 00:58:991 I'd have to do the same on the first slider at 00:57:866 (1) - too - I don't feel like the difference is big enough imo
01:06:491 (1,2,1) - ......im not sure if it should be triggered or not, it seems ok to read but it only happens once in the diff :p Made it a normal stack

Insane
00:23:366 (1,2,1,2,1) - music isnt intense enough for these jumps imo Completely reworked it, and added something in the break section, 'cause I filled in some of the breaks in the scorched and insane diff after earlier mods.
00:58:897 (2) - same as Scorched Same answer as on scorched
01:54:491 (1) - i would make this slider the same length as in Scorched. right now there's a break between here and the last section so it feels weird I don't really want to because something like 01:36:491 (1) - does the same (it would also look pretty garbage if I didn't rework the quint stream xd)

no kds if not helpful, let me know if you want a stack mod later
good luck~ Thanks!! I'll PM you later probably :3 (tell me if you want a testplay or something <3)
