Kantan:

- I believe 00:08:097 (6,7,8) - should be the exact same as 00:01:697 (1,2,3) -
These are the same sounds and i believe it should have the same notes. It also sounds better for me. (Personal Opinion.)

- 00:14:497 (11) - Change this from a Kat to a Don
I believe this foreshadows the previous sounds in the song and matches up with the specific soundset.

- 00:59:297 (69) - Change to a Don - Sounds better in my Opinion.

01:34:497 (113) - I think this sounds better as a Don

Same as 01:47:297 (131) - Change to Don Disagree with this change and the one above.

Futsuu:

- I don't think there is much to change here, I liked the Difficulty. Good Job!

Muzukashii:

- From 00:01:697 (1) - to 00:14:497 (43) - It feels over mapped but it may just be me, I would delete some notes and create a build up in this section for more variety in the Muzukashii. This is my personal Opinion once again. Disagree, if this is overmapped then the Oni is way worse. Just gotta listen in to the clock's tick tock in the background.

- Delete 00:21:097 (65) - I don't think there is a mappable sound here. For triplet's sake, the pattern still works.

- Same as ^ 00:22:697 (72) - ^

- 00:39:297 (128,129,130) - I think this pattern suites this part more than the previous.

Shown Here: It's a callback to the similar (or actually congruent)
sounds in the beginning. They're quite okay-and again, their in the oni except more dense.

- Make the Last 2 Khai times more intense, It seems to calm. (personal Opinion) What i mean by this is experiment with adding more notes in places you never thought you could add one, you might be surprised with the results! Doing that would ruin consistency with these kiais and the first two.

Oni:

- 00:27:897 (117,118,119,120) - Remove this 1/6 and just keep it as a 1/4 Ex: D D K

-01:31:897 (435,436,437,438) - Same this as ^

I like the Oni a lot!

Metadata as far as i can see is good!
AIMod doesnt complain!

Well, maybe put the OD on Oni to 5.5?
Its not really high BPM and not really very streamy.


[Kantan]

==> 00:14:497 - to 00:25:697 -
It Bugs me how the 2 halves of this section lack a difference in difficulty, especially when the build up only really starts around 00:20:497 -
My suggestion for this would be to atleast remove 00:18:497 (17) -, just to give a break and some seperation from the the actual buildup

-> 00:28:097 (30) - I understand the purpose of this finisher, yet i argue the sound was that subtle i thought it was a normal note, and thus does not really deserves a finisher. The Sliding sound behind the synth is too subtle.

// 00:34:497 (38) - contrary i think this does not deserve a finisher either because there is no sliding, big bass thump or the like to back the choice of making this a finisher. Consider unfinishing this note.

// 00:44:097 (52,53) - change these 2 notes to k d to emphasize the vocals AND keep consistent with what was mapped at 00:31:297 (35,36) - .

==> 00:52:897 to 01:05:697 -
I strongly advise you to design this buildup section similar to the one at ( 00:14:497 - to 00:25:697 -)

// 01:05:697 - to 01:24:897 -
I dont agree with your finisher placing here, its almost 50% finishers with little to no sounds in the music that make them deserve a finisher.
I suggest you change finishers like 01:07:297 (79,81) - & 01:20:097 (96,98) - & 01:13:697 (87,89) - to normal notes, but keep the finishers which have this kind of zip noise and a bass bang (01:12:097 (85) - ).
Also you forgot a finisher 01:24:897 (102) - here for the zip & bang noise i guess.

-> 01:32:097 (109) - See my suggestion for 00:28:097 (30)

-> 01:37:697 (117) - Try making this a finisher to emphasize the woosh and also to keep consistent with 00:33:697 (37) - ?
The same applies to 01:50:497 (135) -

-> 01:38:497 (118) - See my suggestion for 00:28:097 (30)

Could use a bit of work i guess...

[Futsuu]

==> 00:01:697 - to 00:14:497 - is a calm part of the music, but its mapped in almost the same intensity as the following part and the buildup, where you would suspect the buildup to be the densest part of them all.
Please decrease density in this section accordingly.

// 00:25:697 (52) - the snare is on the same pitch as note 53, i see no reason for this to be a don, change to kat? Nah, I'd rather keep them as monocolor 1/2.

==> 00:52:897 to 01:05:697 -
This buildup section is fundamentally different than the previous buildup. It is mapped less dense, even tho the extra background beat supports equal or more density, its framework has been changed drastically from what would work.
Please reconsider this section as so atleast the framework of the previous buildup stays intact. Variation is up to you i guess.

// 01:04:097 (129) - see suggestion for // 00:25:697 (52) Same as before.

//01:24:497 (1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - why is this section finisher less, even though its the same sounds heard here as in the previous 3 mini-kiais?
I suggest you either finish some of these how you see fit, or adjust the finisher placement in the 3 mini-kiais.

The 2 Main kiais are on point, just not ready on the nonkiai parts.

[1%Orange Juice Muzukashii]

// 00:22:097 - You should put a d here, just to make the buildup beat more clear. I prefer that 3/2 break I have there, it sounds a little better to me.

// 00:24:697 (80) - this don lies on a key sound in the buildup, color it k to make that key sound more clear?

// 01:00:497 - again add a don for the buildup beat thats appearing ^^

// 01:11:697 - this ring sound sounds so bad when left unmapped
I suggest you move 01:11:497 (240) - to 01:11:697 to atleast acknowledge it, since its more prominent than background The most obvious instrument sounds occur on the notes the way they appear now, I don't see any reason to change them.

// 01:13:997 (248,249) - ctrl+g because the stronger note lies on the d, and the softer note lies on the k, so i guess it should be switched.

// 01:24:497 - ring sound left out again :< Same response again
maybe move 01:24:297 (287) - to 01:24:497 and color k to acknowledge it atleast since its very prominent here?

==> 01:29:697 (304,305,306,307,308,309,310,311,1,2,3) - This combo is too ridiculous, it is difficult in too much ways to be justified in a muzukashii of this level.
It contains a fair amount of 1/4, which is a strong burst
There is a fairly long chain of notes leading onto it.
The 1/4 is MULTICOLORED, which is really hard Well, it's apparent in both higher ended diffs that this part it the hardest, so I'll keep it as is unless someone else notices the same thing.

Something like https://puu.sh/vGDAv/0dc5375606.png would be more reasonable, and also what i would advise you to change to.

Apart from that pretty solid

[2% Oni]

==> The Difficultyspread between this diff and the Muzukashii is way too big, having light to medium 1/4 usage, where as this uses some quite challenging 1/4 and even some troublesome 1/6 PAIRED with 1/4 which are a problem, strictly because its too dense/complicated.
Some Notable examples here:

00:24:097 (94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110) - Nerf, its way too long.
00:27:897 (117,118,119,120) - replace by 1/4?
00:59:097 (249,250,251,252,253,254,255,256,257,258,259,260,261,262,263,264,265,266,267,268,269,270,271,272,273,274,275,276,277,278,279,280,281,282,283,284,285,286,287,288,289,290) - this entire build up is too dense, please tone it down for spreads sake.
01:29:897 (420,421,422,423,424,425,426,427,428,429,430,431,432,433) - way too complicated, please simplify
01:31:897 (435,436,437,438) - again replace by 1/4?

==> Another very alarming problem i found outside of the kiais is the lack of structure this diff has.
It becomes very clear that the focus of mapping seems to be very blurry here, especially in non-kiai parts.
For example:
00:01:697 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - according to melody, this should be d ddk dk or something similar.
according to other sounds this can also be k kkd kd
Neither of those 2 major mapping focuses are apparent here, making the focus unidentifiable.
Without going over details, i will pretty much recommend a Remap of most non-kiai section, and preferably while having the spread nerf suggestions in
mind.



[Conclusion]
This mapset is not ready just yet.
There needs to be work done on Muzukashii/Oni Spread, and the Oni itself.
Kantan & Futsuu seem to be mostly fine, only little details missing.


Sorry for cutting this mod kind of short at oni, but the spread problems are more relevant that mapping related ones.
I wish you the best of luck with this mapset!

00:19:897 (70) - Change to d because I think it matches the pitch of the instrument that is playing Alright, looks good.
00:32:897 (139,140,141) - I think this would follow the flow and sound better as a kdk Notes 139 and 140 are almost exactly the same in pitch, changing one to kat would imply that one has a much different pitch than the other and needs to be emphasized, this is not the case here.
00:38:497 (161,162) - Change to k would sound and play better with the higher drum sound in the bg I like the way dons sound better than kats here.
00:49:697 (207,208,209,210,211) - I think this would follow the rhythm more if you change to a k k d d K Note 208 is greatly lower in pitch than 207 and should definitely NOT be a kat.209 and 210 are an increase in pitch from 208, and although 211 could be a finisher Kat, it still has a sound lower in pitch than 212 and 213.
00:50:797 (212) - I think changing this to D would help flow with the above statement Refer to above statement.
01:16:697 (349,350,351) - Changing this to kdk would help with the consistency to the sound of the kicks that you later used k for This section is to be consistent with 01:10:297 (316,317,318) - .
01:18:097 (356,357,358) - Change this to kdd for the same reason as above Roughly all the same pitch.
01:36:897 (452,453,454) - Change to kdk for the same reason as 00:32:897 (139,140,141) Same reason then.
01:42:497 (474,475) - Change these to k for the same reason as 00:38:497 (161,162) ^
01:53:697 (520,521,522,523,524) - Change to k k d d K for the same reason as 00:49:697 (207,208,209,210,211) ^
01:54:797 (525) - change to D for same reason as 00:50:797 (212) ^

Kantan:

00:36:897 (40) - maybe add a k here for consistency to this pattern 00:29:697 (31,32,33) - and lands on a strong note still. You could change the colors of that pattern if you accept this suggestion for consistency in rhythm but variation in color (for example, you could do k k d) I can agree.
01:18:097 (16) - maybe change this to d so that a new player doesn't get overwhelmed by the finish notes. also, the sound isn't really important enough for a k imo I just made it a regular kat as oppose to a don.


Futsuu:

01:56:097 (51) - make this a d because it's the same sound as 01:56:497 (52) - and it puts more emphasis on 01:56:897 (53) - True.


Muzukashii:

00:54:897 (177) - add a d here :ok_hand:
01:29:897 (307,308,309,310) - imo make these both kk. i think it plays better I made one set kk and the other dd.
01:53:497 (71) - add a d here Yeah I really don't think that's a needed note, as it stands place enough emphasis on those lit swooshy swoosh sounds.

Oni:

00:13:697 (42,43,44,45,46,47,48) - I think the sv changes are too severe for an Oni to read here. Maybe have the green lines change in increments of .02 or .03 instead of .05 to fix this I lowered it to 1.1x, any lower and you'll barely notice a difference tbh.

[General]
- But isn't lower % of fat better? so wouldn't it be "2% Muzukashii" and "1% Oni"? 🤔

[Oni]
00:05:897 (16) - From what I can see it'd make sense to your structure to have this note as kat note.
00:06:497 (18,19) - ^ to switch them.
00:11:097 (34) - I doubt you have to be inconsistent with the rhythm you mapped previously. :p change the note to kat.
00:12:897 (40,41) - wouldn't dd be better? for 00:11:697 (36,37,38,39) - you used the kat notes for the bling sounds which have a good point. 00:11:697 (36,39) - on the other hand are similar to 00:12:897 (40,41) - and don notes. Ehhh, I'll make it a d k because note 41 really does have a higher pitch than 40.
00:13:697 - 00:14:497 - You should do one of these options: 1.) change the SV increases to 0.03x per jump, here's the example: https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/51jWILWG.png that looks much smoother and more playable. 2.) is to have a much faster SV setup here, the effect of the huge SV increase due the silence from 00:13:097 - to 00:13:697 - fits well like that: https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/VVGHtznp.png
00:27:097 - put a 1.05x line here. Just for transistion improvement. I changed the SVs using a factor increase of .04 per inherted section.
00:49:697 (207,208,209,210,211) - Personally I find this part could be completed with a triplet at 00:49:697 - 00:49:897 - , as dkk. And 00:50:297 - should become a don note, it rather goes to be a deeper sound, just comparing it with 00:50:097 - . It's a cool suggestion, but I'll pass because I feel like the 1/1 notes are enough to emphasize these swooshy swoosh sounds.
00:52:097 - 00:52:697 - Why are not using 0.02x jumps instead? It's weird enough that you've put a line at 00:52:097 - without any meaning but it could be 1.08x then, 00:52:297 - to 1.06x, 00:52:497 - to 1.04x and lastly 00:52:697 - to 1.02x.
01:05:697 - 01:08:497 - I personally don't really like the doublet usages here. I think it vary from player to player but I have my personal idea about this: https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/J4qwY5ie.png I don't tell you that you should change the part, it's more a feedback for this (and the next two kiais). Hm..... I like them how they are now, although once again the suggestion is quite good. If this section brings about problems in the future, I will refer back to this structure.
01:29:097 (410) - and 01:29:697 (414) - should be kat.
01:29:397 (412) - should be don. Reason for this and the previous point are the sound differences and tone level, while 01:29:097 (410) - is pretty light and 01:29:697 (414) - has a drum sound they should emphasized, 01:29:397 (412) - as countermeasure shouldn't stay on kat then.
01:31:097 - like 00:27:097 - .
01:53:697 (520,521,522,523,524) - like 00:49:697 (207,208,209,210,211) - . Same response.

[Muzukashii]
00:01:697 - I strongly recommend to not use SV decreases in that form. It's probably too sudden for the players of this level and may overrun them.
00:05:297 - 00:06:297 (15) - What about using a slightly easier pattern, and one that's different from Oni's part? https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/2s0nvCOT.png
00:10:497 - 00:13:097 - apply the same pattern what you've used before and the suggestions I've made previously.
00:16:497 (49,50,51,52,53,54) - I don't find at all that you have to skip 00:17:097 - when it gives a pretty obvious sound that shouldn't be ignored. I'd change the part to d dkkdk.
00:20:097 (62,63) - what about switching them? Nah, because the structure of this triplet runs parallel with the one at 00:22:497.
00:22:097 - it sounds reeeeeeally strange to skip that beat with the current setup, put a don note here.
00:23:897 - another don note can be put here so it'd be consistent with 00:22:097 - and 00:22:297 - .
00:27:697 (92) - to provide longer break times I'd suggest to remove this note so you can be sure to have a full 1/1 break, before that you have some breaks like this https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/51Uh3M1Z.png (no idea how to call them) but it's not efficient enough to have them alone.
00:52:897 - 01:05:297 - I am too lazy to point out the same things again, I am sorry. _(:3」∠)_
01:29:697 - 01:31:697 - honestly saying, I think it'd be easier for the player to have don triplets instead of different doublets and a triplet afterwards, this is what I'd prefer much more: https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/DrLJ4evM.png

[Futsuu]
00:04:297 - I doubt it'll hurt if you add a don note here, that beat is quite present and imo not something it should be skipped.
00:10:697 - ya
00:14:897 (22,23) - It's still a sort of a buildup the song is playing so a lower density is probably the better decision here. Remove (22) and change (23) to don, so 00:16:097 (24) - is stronger then.
00:18:697 (31) - move the note to 00:18:297 - , kk d sounds much better here.
00:14:497 - 00:20:897 - so to summarize the whole section I'd design it like this: https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/KNlegpAw.png the dkd has a better usage if it's 1/2 earlier. And anything else is already explained above. Slight modification https://puu.sh/wlNQ3/36d31dd529.png
00:21:697 - 00:23:697 - https://derpovic.s-ul.eu/jBItj67I.png I'd say it's a better decision because the notes are more emphasized to the sounds the song has. I'm trying to emphasize those high pitched synth sounds here, adding that don on the 1/2 tick would emphasize the drum. (I know it's taiko but that's now what I'm going for :sweat_smile:
00:52:897 - 01:05:297 - ~

I am pretty uncapable to figure out alternatives to make sure the rest times are provided. So for now imo (and it may really just me) it feels like it lacks of rest times for the respective difficulty level it represents. I could look somewhen later again for that difficulty because I have my doubts for now.

[Kantan]
00:16:897 (14) - move the note to 00:18:097 - , the longer break fits better to the song and reduces the long ass break at 00:18:097 - .
00:23:297 (23,24,25,26,27) - change this to dkd dk, to stay consistent with ^ and to emphasize the drum at 00:25:697 - with kat.
00:38:497 (43) - Although it's kantan but it doesn't mean you're not allowed to use 1/2 rhythm, move the note to 00:38:297 - .
00:51:297 (61) - ^
01:42:497 (47) - ^
01:55:297 (66) - ^
00:51:297 (61) - 01:05:697 - ~

So in comparison to Futsuu, the Kantan difficulty feels almost too simple but again I find it okay the way it is. It's.. the Futsuu again. :^) I made extra changes to the futsuu along the way to make the futsuu not seem so complicated compared to the kantan... always the damn futsuu :^)

Overall I like the mapset, it really has potential and.. I may look for it later. However, please consult some more opinions of modders and if you believe you're ready, poke me.

00:59:097 - 01:04:097 - compare this to muzukashii and you'll see what I mean, either buff muzu (and by extension futsuu and kantan) or nerf oni :(
01:24:897 (392,393,394,395,396,397,398,399,400,401,402) - all of those feel incredibly underwhelming plz finisher
00:22:497 (83) - forgot finisher
00:52:897 (221) - def needs finisher
01:05:697 - on this kiai, the strong notes not accompanied by 1/4 could really use finisher. They currently feel underwhelming af (notes like 01:06:597 (299,300,301,302) - )

[muzu]
00:20:897 (62) - finisher
01:05:697 - similarly as above, they are not accompanied by 1/4 so make the finishers come

[futsuu]
00:20:897 (36) -
same for the kiais and finishers
01:29:697 - buff here. And buff Kantan, too. Muzu is 1/2 + 1/4 while this is 4/1

[kantan]
00:20:897 (20) -
same for kiais

i think that's all, popping for spread issues in bold text

i'll rebubble later

01:02:497 (211,212,213,214,215,216) - this bar in muzukashii needs higher density, distance to Futsuu is normal while to Oni is gigantic

  Kantan 154 -> Futsuu 226(+72) -> Muzukashii 403(+177) -> Oni 534 (+131)

1. Density-wise the spread is rather imbalanced especially when note count of Muzukashii is nearly doubled compared to Futsuu. Therefore Futsuu could be harder to make difficulty progression more linear by means of note addition.
2. Kantan has similar note density with Futsuu at times, but you may keep the difficulty unchanged as it is already easy enough.

• [Futsuu]

1. From 00:20:897 to 00:27:297 - the difficulty gap with Muzukashii is too big as Muzukashii has various 1/4 notes connected with 1/2 while Futsuu is mainly 1/1 and 3/2 notes. Try to balance the spread with the use of some 1/2 notes.

• [Muzukashii]

1. From 00:40:897 to 01:40:897 - patterns are consecutively arranged without any 2/1 rests for one full minute, which could be quite demanding for intermediate players. More importantly, this creates a noticeable difficulty jump from Futsuu as evidenced by the intensity of 1/2 + 1/4 patterns in this session.
2. 00:54:297 (175) - this note could simply be removed for a 2/1 break right after the end of kiai. In this way players could have more time to prepare the next chain of patterns.

1. Density-wise the spread is rather imbalanced especially when note count of Muzukashii is nearly doubled compared to Futsuu. Therefore Futsuu could be harder to make difficulty progression more linear by means of note addition. I don't think this is a good enough indicator of spread balancing. Snap density is less important than rhythm in my honest opinion.
2. Kantan has similar note density with Futsuu at times, but you may keep the difficulty unchanged as it is already easy enough.

• [Futsuu]

1. From 00:20:897 to 00:27:297 - the difficulty gap with Muzukashii is too big as Muzukashii has various 1/4 notes connected with 1/2 while Futsuu is mainly 1/1 and 3/2 notes. Try to balance the spread with the use of some 1/2 notes. Check the density in Oni and in Kantan. Futsuu is already challenging enough with the occasional use of 3/2 rhythm and 1/2 notes.

More importantly, this creates a noticeable difficulty jump from Futsuu as evidenced by the intensity of 1/2 + 1/4 patterns in this session. 2/1 breaks are simply not needed, as song mostly supports 3/2 rhythms and it is in my opinion more than enough for intermediate players to rest.
2. 00:54:297 (175) - this note could simply be removed for a 2/1 break right after the end of kiai. In this way players could have more time to prepare the next chain of patterns. I honestly don't think this fixes anything.

I will wait with the disqualification first, but want to give out some opinion too:

The spread is indeed a bit unbalanced and could be possibly improved. Futsuu's density is the whole time the same while in Muzukashii and Oni it changes pretty often with the addition of 1/4 patterns. Futsuu could use the same contrast by having at times some more 1/2. Additionally, Kantan could gain some deletions as it is very close to Futsuu anyway while in comparision the spread / difficulty to Muzukashii and Oni changes drastically.



Overall I don't find it that much of a problem, but in my opinion it does indeed have room for little improvement.


Edit: Just to clarify: Nardo's stance on this topic is that Futsuu's jump to Muzu is high. My stance however is rather that the jump from Kantan to Futsuu is not significant enough which makes Futsuu to Muzu jump look so drastical while it's not, considering Muzu to Oni spread is very high, too. So, as said, deleting some notes in Kantan and adding possible 1/2 Futsuu would work quite fine.

Edit2: Oh, actually the set is already on its 6th day, so I will rather disqualify it now till this matter is solved. Depending on the result we may as well just go for re-qualification but don't take it as given of course.

1. 01:48:097 (57,58) - consider swapping these notes to k d to follow the background pitch decrease as you did previously for consistency ?
2. 01:50:497 (60) - I think you may have missed the finish here ?
3. 01:56:097 (68,69) - maybe swap these notes to d k as you did in higher difficulties ?

• [Futsuu]

1. 00:39:297 (77) - changing this note to k would fit the snare sound pretty well.
