[Kidnapped]

1. 00:03:103 (2,3,4,5) - Lower space between these notes, its pretty much the same as 00:01:398 (2,3) - which has a 1/1 rhythm gap.
   I'm following the vocals here and I wanted a bit of spacing emphasis since I'm no longer following the melody of the music, but his voice, and I dubbed it a kiai section.
   
2. 00:23:557 (3,4) - It wouldn't be bad to map to the vocals sometimes, for example, 00:23:557 (3,4) - rather than two circles, you could have a 3/4 slider, and instead have two circles here 00:24:239 (6) - it would help emphasize 00:24:580 (1) - more.
   Wouldn't be bad, but I wanted a circle heavy diff and rather than following the cadence of his voice with 3/4 sliders, I opted for a simple 1/2 note melody; with sliders on the bass hits, the theme I decided, idk why.
   
3. 00:42:819 (1,2,3,4) - I hear 1/6 sounds here 00:41:285 - here 00:41:625 - and here 00:41:966 - but you decide to map one here 00:42:819 (1,2,3,4) - where there is no sound in the music.Why?
   I wanted to keep the melody the same throughout the hook, while only mapping the 1/3 and 1/6 streams as sort of a prelude to the hook.
   I ended with it too, but I also mapped it differently.
   
4. 00:50:148 (4) - I don't think it's bad the way you NC, its actually normal to do it this way, but I feel like some emphasized notes like this needs a new combo rather than 00:50:489 (1) - where there's no emphasis what so ever.
   Note well taken, I'll deviate from the standard NC every hypermeasure where I see fit from now on.
   
5. 00:53:387 (2,3,4,5,6) - might just be me, but I think this stream should be 1/6, or a 1/6 repeat.
   It might just be, but just for play-ability sake i'll leave it as 1/4.
   
6. 01:10:262 (4,5,6,7) - emphasized vocal jumps have lower spacing than 01:09:580 (1,2) - , just doesn't really make sense.
   fixed
   
7. 01:17:421 (2) - nc
   Note well taken
   
8. 01:37:364 (1,2,3,4) - same here, this is unnecessary.
   I like the melody however, I'll opt to keep it
   
9. Would make for a better ending to remove these 01:38:046 (1,1,1)
   Did think about that, but I wanted a more stylized ending, only diff it would appropriate on would be the hardest. So, I'll opt to keep it unless there's an overwhelming consensus to change.

[Insane]

1. 00:05:489 (1) - Kind of weird to place this so differently to the rest.
   Fixed
   
2. 00:23:898 (4,5) - These are way too linear, ctrl g 00:23:898 (4) - might be a solution.
   Fixed
   
3. 00:30:035 (1,2,3) - Unless you ctrl g 00:30:035 (1) - Movement just seems really off.
   Wouldn't really agree, but since this an easier diff, and there's no real flow to the sliders, I'll change 'em.
   
4. 00:31:739 (8,1,2) - why such a large ds?
   Wanted emphasis on the kiai section, I'll decrease it some
   
5. 00:31:910 (1,2) - I would suggest keep this as a full repeat and remove the circle at the end. It can be unpredictable to players at this level.
   The gaps between the players needing to click is 1/2 beat. It can be unpredictable, but its a strong beat. If needed I'll remove.
   
6. 01:07:535 (3,4,5) - Kind of awkward movement used here, I'd suggest stacking 01:07:535 (3,4)
   It's a straight-lined curve with emphasis on 3 (a bass hit) I'll opt to keep
   
7. If 01:16:228 (4) - ended where 3 is, it would emphasize 01:16:398 (1) - a whole lot more.
   fixed

[Hard]

1. 00:02:421 (2) - I think it would perfectly fine to use slider end instead.
   fixed
   
2. 00:42:819 (1,2,3) - same as before, would advice to remove.
   There's the same piano synth as before, but since this is a hard I opted to undermap it as 1/4 beats
   
3. 01:37:364 (1,2,3) - ^
   There's the same piano synth as before, but since this is a hard I opted to undermap it as 1/4 beats

[Basic]

1. Is AR0 even rankable????

Will consult Leon about changes

All diffs looks good, with just a bit of work it should be ready for rank

Edit: There's a huge gap between Basic and Hard, I would suggest mapping an advanced or normal diff inbetween.

Quick mod about general stuff
General: Check Aimod.

easy

I think you should try to map beginning as well.. it's not like there is particular reason to skip it.
00:42:819 (3) - if you want to make pause like it, this note should be kinda different. It just looks like rest of slider yet you ephasize different sound, also you should consider making it new combo.
01:37:364 (3) - same here

Note well taken, will consult Leon about this, thank you.

normal

I think sliders that's not on strong beat like 00:46:569 (2) - are not good.
Actually map as a whole look kinda messy (aesthetics) A lot of slider are just random, you don't have any particular way of making them.
You should make some "inside rules" for e.g. using sharp shaped slider in more intense parts of song. I think you know what i mean
oh and combos.. omg they are way too short man.

I see what you mean about the off beat sliders, will remap all of those.
And short combos are appropriate for a normal, I believe.

hi, quick M4M as promised

General : All the timings points aren't the same on all diffs (Like thoses on Kidnapped diff at 01:16:398 and more not present on normal diff)
Also, theses timings point on Kidnapped diff seem useless as you don't use it

Because there isn't a slow slider in easier difficulties. And as far as "more" please point them out, otherwise I have no idea how to fix them.
PS: Many of them are specifically for hit sound changes.


Kidnapped

General : Flash kiais seems strange to me when used that much... Can't you emphasize this by any other way ? For me kiai is used for strong parts only, just an opinion tho.

I'll remove and adjust some of them (the intro and length of ending kiai section). Also, I like the term flash kiai's.

00:20:489 (5) - NC? - Wanted to make the combo longer on the hardest diff, and a previous modder suggested I NC according to the music. Rather than mindlessly NC every hypermeasure (where appropiate).
01:15:035 (5) - NC? - Wanted to make the combo longer on the hardest diff, and a previous modder suggested I NC according to the music. Rather than mindlessly NC every hypermeasure (where appropiate).
01:16:398 (1) - Make it faster and end it at 01:16:995 and put some slider from 01:17:880 to 01:17:336 - I wanted to accent the entire air horn with a slow slider. I do not believe having pass through a single whistle is too jarring.
Insane

01:16:398 (1) - Same than Kidnapped - I wanted to accent most of the air horn with a slow slider. I do not believe having it pass through a single whistle is too jarring.
01:13:671 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - may be a bit hard for an insane nuh? - They're just hold sliders, at insane difficulty this is acceptable.
01:35:489 (1,2,1,2) ^ - They're just hold sliders, at insane difficulty this is acceptable.

Hard
00:40:944 (1) - end on white tick - The sound actually ends on a 1/6 beat, however since the spinner recovery time for a hard is 1 beat, I'll change it.
01:15:716 (1,2,3) - 4 circles instead of slider+2 circles? - Fixed to mimic the first kiai section.
01:35:489 (1) - end on white tick - The sound actually ends on a 1/6 beat, however since the spinner recovery time for a hard is 1 beat, I'll change it.

Normal
00:40:944 (1) - end on white tick - The sound actually ends on a 1/6 beat, however I have to make the spinner shorter since the suggested spinner recovery time is 2+ beats for a normal difficulty.

Theonlyleon's Easy
I don't know if it's an issue as I don't know well GD but is it normal that kiai aren't the same? - As far as I know, GD's can be mapped to different portions of the song and have their own timing points.

00:53:898 (1) - This should be avoided on easy diffs - Will consult Leon.
01:38:387 (1) - Remove this slider to be consistent with others diffs? - Will consult Leon.

Really clean map tho, haven't seen much to say about it, hope it helps tho

I've run into this before and it generally isn't, although I don't like the Kiai times that Clappy has set, yet it seems like a few of them coppied over anyways, if it gets brought up when trying to rank I'll just remove Kiai times altogether since the song is mostly the same intensity all the way through

00:53:898 (1) - This should be avoided on easy diffs

Yea This makes sense, changed to a circle

01:38:387 (1) - Remove this slider to be consistent with others diffs?

I prefer this way of mapping it, and since it's a GD I don't think slight variance in where the diff starts/ends is important

1. Can somebody explain why Easy has the Countdown value set to 2? It is meant to be either 0 or 1. Either way, I would disable it for all difficulties.
2. It also helps to keep the intro mapped for every diff inculding the Easy.
3. According to AiMod the following hitsounds are unused, probably should check them
   
   1. normal-hitfinish2.wav
   2. normal-slidertick2.wav
   3. soft-hitnormal2.wav

1. Approach Rate 2 or 3 would match the velocity and make reading things a lot easier for beginners.
2. 00:23:216 - this and similar beats later in the difficulty - I would add circle here to match the rapping and keep the rhythm more intuitively playable.
3. 00:42:819 (3) - I would trather place it earlier to follow vocals. Since the rest of the patterns is vocal based it would make sense to stick to the vocals.
   Note: 01:37:194 (3) - same here
4. 00:59:353 (3) - minor -placing the whole thing higher to avoid overlaps with score-metre would help a little.
5. 01:14:694 (2,1) - minor - these are not actually parallel though it looks like you intended them to be.
   
   I have a pretty strange feeling about this much copypasted patterns. I see why you would do this, but I still feel like this is too repetitive.

1. Too many new combos are used in the intro, it feels spammed. Try to use new combos less often in that part, perhaps?
2. 00:22:875 (3) - the slider ignores voices and instrument peaks, 00:23:216 - here. Two circles (00:22:875 and 00:23:216) instead of the slider would work better, I believe,
   It continues through the difficulty, as there are a lot more similar patterns, 00:25:603 (3) - 00:32:762 (1) - and so on.
3. Also, sometimes ou connect two different lines with sliders. 00:29:353 (5) - it begins on one line and ends on a different one. Use two circles, so each of the beats would get a separate object?
   Note: also, two circles would work better for sliders like 00:44:694 (3) - so that players would be able to click on stronger beats like 00:45:035.
   
   Rhythm in general does not have a clear and easy to follow line, rhythm emphasis could be improved.

1. Same thing as pointed out for Normal. Try to use new combos less often in that part, perhaps?
2. And one more tihng I have already mentioned in Normal, sliders like 00:22:875 (3) - connect two lines/words, and this feels sort of artificial. two circles would work better here. Similar thing happens to 00:50:148 (4) -
   Additionally, 00:23:216 - is stronger than 00:22:875 - and stronger beats require clickable objectcs (or that's how the guideline goes, at least).
3. 00:53:898 (1) - for the same reason 00:54:580 - probably should be mapped with an individual object.
   
   I still don't really get why you sometimes use 01:34:466 (2,3) - 3/4 slider and sometimes you leave things unclickable like it is with 01:33:444 (3) -

[TheOnlyLeon's Easy]

   Yea the low AR is a bit gimmicky, changed to 2.
   
2. 00:23:216 - this and similar beats later in the difficulty - I would add circle here to match the rapping and keep the rhythm more intuitively playable.
   
   Fair, although it's still very light, changed prior circle to a slider as to have a sliderend land here
   
3. 00:42:819 (3) - I would trather place it earlier to follow vocals. Since the rest of the patterns is vocal based it would make sense to stick to the vocals.
   Note: 01:37:194 (3) - same here
   
   This is an easy diff, so fair point, extended the sliders as to not effect velocity
   
4. 00:59:353 (3) - minor -placing the whole thing higher to avoid overlaps with score-metre would help a little.
   
   Moved slightly
   
5. 01:14:694 (2,1) - minor - these are not actually parallel though it looks like you intended them to be.
   
   As far as I could tell they were, but I remade the second slider anyways just to be safe
   
   I have a pretty strange feeling about this much copypasted patterns. I see why you would do this, but I still feel like this is too repetitive.

I would tend to agree with you, but the entire song is a lot of the same outside of the more subtle parts, and in an easy diff I don't think changing the patterns so much would be very beneficial, ideally the song would be a bit shorter, but it's not.

Thanks for the mod.
