So I am doing these full NM's and want these to be really thourough checks. So here we go
GeneralSo first backgrounds
- -they are all pretty low quality so you might want to upscale or find a higher res version
-If you do want to keep BG-2 then make sure to convert it to .jpg for a smaller file size
- BG-3 has the wrong resolution scale, it's 1280x800
audio and video file seem fine
very minor kiai timing inconsistency in KittyAdventure's Insane, as kiai time should be off at timing point 01:08:815 (1) - (68815,-100,4,1,1,70,0,1)
and 01:16:315 (1) - (76315,-100,4,1,1,60,0,1)
Also feel that the gap between the insane and extra is a bit too large for a nice spread but I am not 100% if that influences ranking capabilities

00:48:190 (4) - would make this a slightly different shape to 00:47:565 (3) - beacause this one reflected intrumentals while 00:48:190 (4) - only follows vocals
Well, I am bad at modding easy diffs and everything here is nicely ds'ed
Nice diff
Normal00:06:002 (5) - This note doesn't fit as you have been exclusively following vocals up to this point and then switching to instruments on a pretty minor sound doesn't fit
00:14:440 (2) - as you don't really mind using 1/2 gaps in this diff I would pull this back to 00:14:283 as I have a feeling you want to emphasize the guitar more from parts like 00:11:783 (2,3) - and 00:16:783 (2,3) - which focus the guitar as they have their heavy drum beats in the middle of the slider
00:18:815 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1) - this feels off beacause you follow the vocals here but only sometimes do you actually try and catch the vocal on the red tick like at 00:19:440 (2,3,4) - and 00:20:690 (5,6,1) - while the other times you just don't map anything on top of it like at 00:18:815 (1,2) - 00:20:065 (4,5) -
00:22:877 (4) - this slider follows the guitar (obviously) but it feels too sudden beacause up to now you are basically going all-in on vocals, you like almost change the focus to the guitar with 00:21:315 (1,2) - but 00:22:408 (3) - emphasizes the held sound of the vocals and not the guitar beacause it's a slider.If you want to focus the guitar more I recommend changing 00:22:408 (3) - into a circle. Focussing vocals would be a bit weirder as they fall away after this
00:23:815 (1) - i don't think you want to switch back to following vocals here by emphasizing the held vocal sound with a slider, and if you do want to switch back to vocals then you are missing the vocals between 00:23:815 (1,2) - and 00:25:065 (4,5) -
00:27:408 (3) - not a fan of this circle, would actually just delete it and fix ds as it really lowers the emphasis the drums get at 00:27:565 (1,2) -
00:31:315 (1,2,3,4,5) - the rhythm feels off again beacause you have this pretty large emphasis on 00:32:252 (3,4) - imo but the slider right before that 00:31:783 (2) - doesn't even have a frum sound on it's sliderhead
00:36:315 (1,2) - I feel like this is a better way to switch your focus from vocals to intruments as here you get this 1/1 gap after the last vocal slider, would try to implemant something like this at 00:22:408 (3,4) - if u want to focus vocals up to the last possible note
00:41:158 (1,2) - 1/2 doesn't work as the sliderend is way louder for the vocal and the instrument, possibly 2 circles would work better like you did at 00:43:658 (5,1) -
00:46:940 (2) - don't see the use of this slider as the only noticeable drumbeat in this section is on the red anchor. So maybe extend 00:46:315 (1) - to a 5/2 and 00:47:252 (2) - to a 1/2 if u still want to sliders. But just 1 very long slider would work even better.
rhythm in kiai seems better
after that only some more minor thing like, if you are going to focus the drums then make sure the loud sound is actually clickable which is not the case for slider 01:19:440 (3) - as this one has a louder tail than head
overall it just seems that the rhythm has no clear focus on what it wants to map
Hard00:06:002 (5) - owo, whats this doing here. Is this mapping the breathing? don't feel like its needed imo
00:13:815 (1,2) - You have the speedy intro and then for these similar sounds you slow the map down, it feels like 00:08:815 (1,2,3) - but is mapped differently
00:23:190 (2) - ds this to make the gap clearer, as it doesn't look enough like a 1/1 gap
00:23:658 (3) - would delete this note for more emphasis on the vocals
00:24:908 (4) - If u map vocals I feel that you have to commit to it, and not map like these guitar sounds whenever a gap large enough comes around. So just delete the note
00:31:783 (2) - would make this slider focus more on the drums as it has this pretty weak vocal on the head but vocal+drum on the tail which feels odd
00:37:877 (2,3) - Why no circle between these slider, it would fit
00:48:190 (1,2) - I don't think you need these circles as 00:46:315 (1,2,3,1,2) - fully focusses on the drums, as does 00:48:815 (1,2) -. Between these there are no drum sounds so the emptyness would fit
00:58:815 (1,2) - space these more similar to 00:48:815 (1,2) - as you really want to show that they are similar
01:08:815 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - some diversity here would be good as it feels pretty boring atm
01:13:815 (1) - how about a 1/2 reverse here to keep the focus on the on the drums
Light Insane00:06:002 (3) - Still not sure on mapping this breathing, I just don't feel it's loud enough to warrant a slider
The stacking seems without reasoning often, like you stack 2 notes with different sounds ex:00:11:783 (2,3) -
Or at spots like this 00:14:596 (4,5,1) - where you stacked 00:14:596 (4,5) - but not 00:14:752 (5,1) - although they follow up immediatly after eachother, givning 2 consecutive 1/2 gaps different spacing. If you have some reasoning for it then there is no problem though
00:24:440 (3,4) - You gave the guitar sound nothing of importance when it was in the sliderbody of 00:24:440 (3) - but right after it get a clickable object for the same sound 00:24:908 (4) -
stack 00:35:846 (3,3) - and 00:36:002 (4,4) -
this diff is also pretty good
KittyAdventure's Insane00:02:565 (1) - feels out of place as all the other objects seem to be following vocals and this one is on a rather weak instruemntal sound
00:05:846 (5,6) - I can kinda agree mapping 00:06:002 (6) - on an insane and up but really think 00:05:846 (5) - shouldn't be there
00:14:283 (3,4) - really don't see any reason to stack these, but maybe I am missing something
00:18:346 (5,6,7) - I like cool patterns but this feels a bit too weird. And doesn't feel intense enough for the sound it's representing
00:30:846 (3,4) - how about angling 00:31:002 (4) - differently like
https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/o5j5fUk.png for better flow
00:39:908 (4,1,2,3,4) - This jump fits really well
00:43:502 (4) - would delete this note and stack 00:43:658 (5,1) - as I feel that it's not that important
00:47:721 (2,3) - I think you should still use constant/growing ds here and not lower it
kiai looking good
01:17:408 (1,2) - some weird flow here, maybe rotate 01:17:877 (2,3,4) - alltogether
01:21:002 (6) - feels louder but has lower spacing emphasis than 01:21:158 (7) -
ByBy's Exorcist00:02:565 (5) - doesn't fit as all the other objects follow vocals closely, would just remove this one and extend 00:02:408 (4) - to a 1/2 slider.
Also some seriously bad flow with the wide angle usage
00:04:283 (4) - ^, this one also feels bit weird
00:12:252 (5,1) - not really a fan of this supershort spacing but whatever
00:37:252 (5,3,4,5) - overlap that doesn't look that nice/intended
00:38:346 (6,7) - Were these supposed to be stacked?
00:38:815 (1,2,3,4,5) - You mapped 00:39:752 (5) - there but not on the white tick at 00:39:127. Also by using a slider like this you are mapping the vocal on a sliderend here 00:39:752 (5) - which you don't want to do as that seems to be the main rhythm you are following
00:58:111 (5,1) - I don't see how anyone should be able to read that that is a 1/4 gap
00:58:736 (5,1) - ^
01:14:908 (1,2,3) - not a fan of stacking this twice if you have 2 different timing gaps
01:24:596 (4,5,1) - uncomfortable flow and you were trying to always use sharp angles so this is unexpected
Thats about it, would appreciate any feedback about the mod and if you have questions you can always pm me
Gl with the map
Edit: lol, I totally did not miss the Light Insane only to spot it later and mod it then
