You might want to get a higher resolution background as this one is pretty low-res. I couldn't find any better versions quickly but youu can maybe try and upscale it a bit
not very good at editing stuff so I'll keep this one for now00:11:743 (4,5) - I don't see a reaon why the spacing here should be larger as for every other sound in this quiet part the spacing doesn't change much
That piano sound is quite higher than the others00:31:029 (1) - Don't make a reverse here as the piano get alot louder after the reverse and this isn't reflected in the map
held vocal00:35:314 (4) - There is a loud vocal on this sliderend which I would have expected to be mapped after 00:33:600 (6,7,1) - followed the vocals very closely
Having a vocal on a slider end to me doesn't make it that much less important than it being clickable00:39:171 (3,4) - You are also missing on a vocal here and mapping the piano instead, you can try mapping it like
https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/1DxXCgS.png so you still have the piano while mappin the vocal better
That seems like an awkward rhythm because that slider tail would end on a much more important piano note and since it's the main instrument it makes it very noticeable00:41:314 (1) - make this a 1/4 slider and a circle instead of a 1/2 as the "ku"-sound has relatively large emphasis due to the reverse and some decently large spacing while the "go"-sound which is part of the same word is mapped on a sliderend which doesn't give it any emphasis at all
00:43:029 (4) - same here, vocal would be better mapped witha 1/4 slider and a circle
it's an extension of the previous slider to cover the held vocal once again Small sidenote: As the piano continues during this entire section it would be better to prioritize vocals, thats why I am suggesting the above changes to the rhythm. As mapping the piano woulld be pretty boring as its the same rhythm on a 1/4 metronome
Well that's the intro, after the piano pretty much disappears further emphasizing the more diverse variety in rhythm choices in the kiai and following sections by making the intro a bit more monotone 00:48:171 (1) - again, another strong vocal on a sliderend
What you seem to fail understanding here is that I am actually emphasizing the vocals with these 1/2 sliders (even though the main focus stays mostly the piano), if I switched them up for more 1/4 sliders it would surely make every distinct vocal clickable but it would also make the section even more boring and they could also be mistaken for more objects following the piano which is what you seem to be trying to convince me not to do. Btw if you were thinking about more circles that would be worse as it would make the intro section far more rhythmically intense than the main sections00:49:029 (3) - ^
no changeIf u really want some variation in sliderlength, spots like 00:49:671 (4) - would be better for it as this vocal keeps going on longer than the others, just like you did here 00:51:600 (1) -
no change00:50:314 (6) - Vocal on sliderend
no change00:52:886 (4) - Needs to be 2 circles as both the sliderhead and tail are equally strong sounds that both need to be mapped, You can make 00:53:314 (5) - start on the sliderend of 00:52:886 (4) - if you want to keep a long slider here while emphasizing a vocal
I don't see why it "needs" to be 2 circles the two sliders work together and the longer one is an extension of the previous for the held vocal all while keeping the important piano notes covered01:14:314 (7) - strong vocal on sliderend, you can map this differently by mapping a 1/4 slider on the following timestamps
no change- 01:14:314 (7) -
- 01:14:743
01:20:743 (5) - strong vocal on sliderend
no change01:24:171 (6) - ^, I guess if you always map the piano than this would be your choice of mapping the song but then you waould have places like 01:25:029 (8) - where the sliderhead is not important at all without major vocals and piano while the sliderend has the piano sound
true but making it a 1/2 slider for example wouldn't fit my overall map because the vocal isn't held for the duration of which that the slider would be so I'd rather keep the circle+slider to show the briefness of that vocal and to keep the overall feel01:25:886 (1) - storng vocal on sliderend
no changeI'll stop pointing vocals over piano out now as I feel like your way is a different way to map the song, I don't necessarily agree with your style but I feel like pointing all these out wouln't result in much.
Also some advice if you see the same sort of patterning almost everywhere in a map that means it is intentional and you should therefore just mention it in the overalls01:28:457 (7) - sliderhead doesn't have important sound (it still has the piano but the sliderend piano sound is more distinct while the tail has the piano and a vocal
Yes intentional as it is once again like an extension of the previous slider while making piano clickable and also the slider end is imo already emphasized because of the 1/2 gap afterward and it feels nice to play01:31:671 (2) - this slider doesn't make much sense in comparrison to the previous 1/2 sliders and the way you used those to emphasize vocals, example of how to map this differently
https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/TFfpp40.png01:37:243 (4) - sliderend here is more important than sliderhead
changed for this one01:37:671 (5,1,2,3,4,5) - If you are making all of these clickable then I would also make this sliderend 01:37:671 (5) - cliackable to signify that you are changing emphasis from the vocals to the piano
Slider already indicates that the focus has shifted01:46:655 (2) - This slider is emphasized with spacing while having no strong sound on its sliderhead and having a vocal on the red tick in the middle, you can fix this by making this section into mostly 1/4 sliders as there are no super important sound on the blue ticks
this does fit better with the overall feel of the map though01:49:584 (2,3) - Don't see why you mapped them on 1/6 here, just removing these and placing a circle on 01:49:655 would fit better
cuz it 1/6 xD 01:49:870 (1) - even though this puts alot of emphasis on an important sound by placing a 1/2 slider, it ignores the sound of the vocal and the snare on the sliderend
1/2 slider to emphasize the cymbale on the downbeat01:55:870 (7,8,1,2,3) - The difficulty spikes here a bit in terms of technicality, maybe put a bit less spacing on this stream or lessen the distance here 01:56:084 (8,1) -
This isn't a difficulty spike at all though 02:00:370 (2) - On the red tick in this slider, there is a vocal that is completely ignored
Shifting focus to percussion for this section so ignoring to vocals seems appropriate02:01:655 (6) - ^, also here on this white tick
no change02:10:013 (1,2,3,1) - I wouldn't make a 1/6 stream here in the first place but if you really want one then fix 02:10:334 (3) - as this one is snapped to 1/8
Oh did not realize that, Thanks !02:14:727 (3,4,5) - maybe space this differently as this is really uncomfortable to jump at such a wide angle
It actually doesn't play that bad02:52:441 (3) - there is a drum sound on this sliderend which you may or may not want to map, but as you are following the drum in this entire section I really would
Yes that's the point it's covered by the slider end02:53:727 (4) - the sound on the sliderend and white tick is way stronger than on the sliderhead
yep that's intentional02:53:727 (4,1) - You are also missing some drum sound in between these 2 notes
Yes cuz if I mapped them it would totally lose the build-up starting from here 03:01:441 (5) - and I want it to stand out03:00:584 (4) - same as 02:53:727 (4) -, the sliderend sound is way stronger than the sliderhead, map it like you did here 03:02:298 (3,4) -
03:02:941 (5,6) - map this better by making it like this
https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/sNQEDuy.png, the strong sound are mapped with sldierheads which should be better. Right now 03:02:941 (5,6) - bith have really imporatnt sounds on their sliderends
The point, no change03:05:941 (2) - As this note mainly relies on the vocals for it's reason to be clickable, also make this sliderend clickable
I'm actually not really mapping to the vocals for this section03:07:441 (6) - use 2 circle to reflect the vocals better
no change03:08:941 (2) - there is a vocal in the middle of this slider which is ignored so maybe circle plus 1/4 slider?
no change03:09:584 (3,4,5) - reflect the timing of these notes better by placing 03:10:013 (4) - close to 03:10:227 (5) -, or make it a normal circle which I feel is better
Alright changed03:17:727 (6) - very strong drum and vocal sound on this sliderend which definetly should be clickable
it's a held vocal so I'd rather not and also having it on the tail works well with the next two objects03:36:155 (1,2) - I was planning to not say anything about vocals over instruments but this one is way to important and would be better mapped with 2 1/4 sliders
Don't like mapping two 1/4 slider on the downbeat03:46:013 (1,1) - I would reserve prefect stacks for 1/1 gaps oonly as you have done alot earlier in the map
Why only 1/1, this works well too and is readable with the NC03:51:584 (1,2) - I don't see a reason why these should be 1/4 sliders, nrmal ciecles would do fine and it's not like these sound are similar to 03:56:298 (9,10) -
Dont really get your point with them not being similar I know that but the 1/8 sliders here are to represent the more "clouded" section of the song I don't quite agree with how the vocals in the quiet section are mapped but thats your decision if you feel that these follow the rhythm close enough than leave it like that
It's not really about following the rhythms of the song, that would be pointless where we would just use circles to represent each distinc sound, to me mapping is more about translating the feel of the song and what it provides and this is how I feel fits but there could be other ways; ofc there would be other ways depending on the mapper himself 04:26:312 (6,7,8,9,10) - why use such eneven spacing
... why not ? it fits well 04:51:598 (1,1) - You can insert a break here
Possible but not having a break is best imo04:57:384 (6) - sound on this note is pretty much nonexistent and the sliderend before it is pretty imporant so maybe map it so this is a sliderend
PianoThat should be everything, it's mainly your rhythm choice which I don't quite agree on, spacing looks fine
Thanks but overall try to position yourself (as a modder) in the skin of the mapper and try to figure out what they would do or agree to change and if many certain patterns repeat themselves that means they're intentional etc. Also a good thing is to figure out what the main focus of the map is: like vocals/percussion/ or other instruments before making too many suggestions about stuff that might not be what the mapper is mapping to(this took way too long q_q)
