[General]
-That background is NSFW, I don't think it's good to keep it because of how gory it is. No it's not and it's not that gory it's just blood.
-There is a HUGE difficulty gap between Normal and Hyper. I know it's common in IIDX adapted beatmaps, but still. Well,err..... I can't force Faust to downgrade his awesome diff.
-Please change that white combo color. Done.

[Beginner]
00:14:666 (3) - Overlapping on an easy. Ugly and confusing for new players. Done.
00:15:999 (1) - ^ Done.
00:19:333 (2,3,4) - ^ Done.
00:27:999 (1) - ^ Done.
00:45:333 (1) - ^ Done.
00:58:666 (1) - ^ Done.
01:11:999 (3) - New combo? Done.
01:17:333 (3) - ^ Done.
01:19:333 (6) - Maybe move this somewhere else since it can throw new players off? Done.
01:25:333 (4) - ^ Done.
01:35:999 (1) - Same overlapping thingy. I HARDLY see any overlapping there but ok.
01:40:666 (4) - Bad spacing. Done, fixed.

[Normal]
Okay, if I pointed out everytime you overlap stuff I wouldn't be done until next month. Just telling that this is rather meh on a normal.
00:42:666 (1,2,3,4) - Ow ow ow ow ow. Please don't do that on a normal. With how high the AR is and the circle size it is guaranteed to be misread. That was my unique style but ok i guess T.T
00:47:999 (1,2,3,4) - ^
00:50:666 (1) -Extend this 1/1 further and delete the circle. ok.
00:57:833 (3) - Delete this note? Done.
01:00:499 (3) - ^ Done.
01:09:333 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Again, too confusing. Please separate (1) and (4). Done.
01:18:666 (3,4,5) - Isn't that a bit hard for a normal? And at 180bpm... It's kind of gay to get rid of it, I actually enjoyed those >.>
01:22:666 (1,2,3,4,5) -^ Sigh.....ok.
01:27:999 (1,2,3) -^ Done.

[Hyper]
Apparently this is a guest difficulty, but I would suggest to compress the streams at least as much as they are on the Another, because the streams are actually harder than on the Another (and I'd like to remind you, you shouldn't normally use streams on hard difficulties, especially with such a bpm)
00:25:249 (7) - Delete this note?
00:45:999 (1,2,3,4) - Move this combo somewhere else, it's way too hard to read for a Hard.
00:53:666 (3,4) - Decrease the spacing, this is too hard.
00:54:166 (6,7) - ^
00:54:333 (7) - New combo?
00:54:666 (9,10) - Decrease the spacing, this is still too hard.
01:02:333 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Stream then anti-jump - no. Please redo this combo because it will throw players off.
01:36:333 (3,4) - Decrease the spacing, this is still too hard.
01:36:833 (6,7) - ^

[Another]
00:01:333 (7) - New combo? Done.
00:01:999 (1) - Delete new combo? Done.
00:05:833 (4,5,6) - Please don't stack this with (2), we just got out of a spinner and this is barely readable. Done.
00:12:833 (9) - Unintuitive and hardly readable jump. Done.
00:30:583 (10) - Delete this note and add a kick to the slider? Done.
00:42:833 (2) - Notes on the center are barely readable just after a spinner especially with this AR. Done.
00:44:333 (8) - New combo? Done.
00:44:333 (8,9,10,11,12) - Horrible readability. Done.
00:47:166 (x) - Add a note here? Done.
00:49:666 (7) - New combo? Done.
The rest of the map is way too confusing and/or difficult for me to actually be able to mod correctly, but all and all this is not really fun to play. The constant stacks and overlaps make it insanely hard to sightread with the standard skin and the white combo color doesn't help it.


So all and all I'm pretty disappointed with this beatmap since I love the song, I hope changes will be made to make it more fun and readable. Maybe you'll get my star then. Ouch......

HP+1 AR+2

i thinke this diff maybe a little hard for beginner(like the silder velocity,a little fast),u need to remove some notes and change some rythm make it become easy :）It's easy enough for me.

00:15:999 (1,2,3) - remove (2) just suggetions because this part is the beginning of the song.

00:01:833 (4,5,6,7) - the spacing not very fit imo

01:29:166 (1) - remove this silder and add a note in the 01:29:333

and to all diff
just some suggestions

i think 00:00:000 - 00:10:666 the volume（70%）
00:10:666 - 00:19:999 the volume（85%）
00:19:999 - 00:31:999 the volume (100%)
00:39:999 - 00:41:999 the volume (70%)
00:42:666 - 00:50:333 the volume（85%）
00:50:666 - 01:03:999 the volume (100%)
01:09:333 - 01:19:999 the volume（70%）
01:19:999 - 01:29:333 the volume（85%）
01:29:333 - END the volume (100%)
make some volume change in the map like this

1. Only Hyper and Another have white colored circles. Remove that color, it blends in with the background.
2. Kiai times are inconsistent with the difficulties. Extend it to the end of the spinner in Hyper and Another.
   Pictures 01 through 04 have a lot of unnecessary white space in them. If cropped down, it would save 21 kb of file size (which isn't very much)
   
   Everything else checks out.

  Wow, nothing to say here, this is genius!

1. AR +1, helps make the clustered notes more readable.
2. 01:11:999 (1,2) - This pattern is confusing
3. 01:22:666 - What happened to the hitsounds in this combo?
   
   NICE NORMAL! Difficulty is spot on.

1. Large and spaced out streams don't fit this difficulty, they're harder than Another's! Avoid having streams over three hitcircles in length for this difficulty.
2. 00:13:916 (3) - Remove this circle. Having a 1/4 stream before any 1/2 in the map doesn't curve difficulty well.
3. 00:19:999 (1,2,3,4) - Push these closer together so it's clear that they are not a stream.
4. 00:23:999 (1) - Move this circle in between the previous slider and the next circle. Keeps the flow going
5. 00:30:666 (1,2,3,4) - Push these closer together so it's clear that they are not a stream.
6. 00:52:166 (2,3,4) - Push these closer together so it's clear that they are not a stream.

8. 00:56:499 (1) - Remove new combo
9. 01:02:666 (5,6,7,8) - Pushing these close together won't work like before. Try making them spaced out jumps, like this http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/145023
10. 01:12:666 (1) - Remove new combo
11. 01:23:999 (5) - New combo for consistency
12. 01:35:166 (8) - Move this over the endpoint of the 7. It's more intuitive that way.
13. 01:41:499 - Add a spinner here, all the other difficulties have one.
    
    It feels much too hard to be a Hyper.
    Oh, Faust made this? His name should be in the difficulty. Faust, get some credit man! Nobody looks at tags!

1. 3 second audio lead in is pretty big, 2 seconds is nice for this difficulty.
2. 00:01:666 (3) - Move this up once.
3. 00:29:249 - During streams like this one, it's usually better to keep the double repeat sliders on white ticks. Try rearranging the beats like this, it's much more intuitive. http://puu.sh/5mYx
4. 00:55:166 (7) - New combo. It's a spacing change and this makes the drain less murderous.
5. 00:57:833 (8) - New combo for consistency.
6. 01:04:166 - Put a spinner here, it would be perfect
7. 01:15:166 (2) - This slider's reverse is hidden by hitbursts!
8. 01:37:999 (6,7) - I feel this would be better as a 1 repeat slider followed by a stack of notes, like this. http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/145018
   
   I love this stream difficulty! Some of the streams have weird spacing though

1. The epilepsy warning gets in the way of the notes at the beginning. It would be a good idea to disable the warning and storyboard one in so it isn't blocking anything.
2. HP Drain +1 and OD +1 , it's too forgiving right now.
3. Slider velocity 1.4 would be nice. It's quite tough to read the random DK streams with a fast velocity
   
   Ozzy would be proud.

But rename the Taiko diff. to "Backfire's Taiko Oni". You can't call it "Inner" if there is not another Taiko Oni allready.
Taiko Oni = Taiko Oni Inner = Taiko Oni Ura
"Inner" and "Ura" are just replacing the numbers 2 and 3, to have not names in a mappack like: "Taiko Oni, Taiko Oni2, Taiko Oni3"
It dosen't mean it's harder as "Taiko Oni".

So change that please.

Black.png needs to be cut off @ 40999 ms / 00:44:905 to reduce the SB load since it's not doing anything at this point and it's peaking at x4 at some places. I didn't realized that until now.

[Another]

00:07:999 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) - Ever tried doing this stream using normal hitsounds without the finish? (using 50% volume). If you still plan to keep it as is, try removing the finishes since they seem to stand out here. Nah, i'll keep my soft hitsounding and remove the finishes.


The strong flashes aren't that bad till you start to play the harder difficulties where focus is more important. It's possible to reduce the strength of the flash by either adding transparency to the image itself, or using some transparency from the SB system. Not a lot of it, but enough to still make the flash decent at the same time, not blinding to play with. SB2 toned down.

I think I may have spotted a few unrankable things so I will just point those out along with a few suggestions while not doing my traditional mod

Beginner:
01:14:676 (1,2) - I suggest you delete slider 1, copy paste slider 2 into slider 1s original position and then do a ctrl + r on that slider. it will make things symmetrical now.

Another:
00:17:343 (1,2,3) - the 300s from slider 1 and note 2 cover up the kick back part of slider 3. please spread these apart.
01:17:843 (2,3,4,5) - same situation as the above except 300s are covering the kick back part of slider 5. please fix this.
01:33:509 (2,3,4,5,6) - same situation as above except the 300s are covering the kick back part of slider 6

In both of the taikos, the first set of japanese characters is covered up by the taiko gameplay part so i suggest you move that text down so people can see it. do it through difficultie specific obviously

Welcome. My promised mod.

General:

1. The 4th combo color (gray one) is missing on Normal and Beginner. Add it.
2. Actually 3 of your 4 colors are totally blending with the background. If I were a MAT I wouldn't bubble it in current shape. Change the colors of gray, red and dark red.

The only red i see is the Blood & the Rose and the rest is Black & Gray, i was using the colors that the song was used in the game (white had to be changed due the flashes) any other color will just make it.... really ugly. and thanks for that 4th gray there, i must've missed it there

[Another]

00:22:009 (6,7,8) - Ugly. Space it prettier. ok.
00:57:843 (1,2) - Offbeat sliders. Will sound better when you move them 1/2 forward and add a note before. ok.
01:04:176 (1) - Why not to start at the previous blue tick? ok.
01:10:843 (1,2,3) - Offbeat sliders. Will sound better when you delete previous circle and move them 1/2 back (with additional cosmetic changes). alrighty then.
01:29:176 (1) - This slider follows the silence. I've got an idea how this part might look better - delete this slider and transform previous note into a 1/4 slider and silence its ending. If you slow the music down to 25% you will see it's exactly how the music goes. i had that in mind but i didn't know how to set it in back then.

[Hyper]

Some of the spacing changes, like this one 00:23:010 (4,5) or this 00:26:010 (3,4) feel overmapped. Just a notice for you.
00:48:676 (3) - Add a clap on the beginning.
01:02:676 (5) - New combo I guess.
01:04:009 (1) - This is just too long. Why not to make it as it is in Another?
01:13:343 (9) - Why a circle instead of a slider already? Sounds odd.

[Normal]

00:53:843 (1,3) - A finish sounds better instead of a whistle here. oh snap, didn't see that one.

[Beginner]

00:58:676 (1,2) - Sounds pretty odd. Transform (1) into the same sliders as you have previously made? hmm i'll consider it.

Another is pretty fun to play. However, the map needs some polishing before it gets ranked.
star goes to you

For the sake of playablity - change these combo colors. I guess you don't want everyone that plays the map to delete all the custom elements after the first play just because they can see nothing.

littie spacing problem in [Another]
01:39:593 (12,13) - , 01:39:759 (14,15) -

don't kd this post thanks.

1. 00:08:009 (1,1) - The slider comes very soon after the spinner. This can easily mess up beginners who keep spinning.
2. 00:21:343 (1) - Short multiple repeat sliders like this can be hard for beginners to play since they have to guess there is another repeat. Please consider splitting this into two sliders.
3. 00:22:676 (2) - Same for this one.

1. 00:53:843 (1) - This circle is missing a new combo. Is this intentional?

1. AR +1, too many overlaps with a low AR makes things hard to see with all the approach circles.

1. Right now there are a lot of spacing inconsistencies in the map, probably because of Grid 3. For example, http://puu.sh/V0ez notice how the distance from 5 to 6 is much more than 3 to 4 or 4 to 5. I'll list parts where the spacing has slight inconsistency.
2. 00:12:676 (2,3,4,5) - Inconsistency from 4 to 5
3. 00:14:009 (2,3,4,5,6) - Inconsistency from 4 to 5
4. 00:20:009 (1,2,3,4,5) - Inconsistency from 4 to 5

1. 00:18:676 (1,2) - This is the first jump in the map and seems a little randomly placed. I recommend removing the jump.
2. 00:20:010 (1,2,3,4) - Stack these normally. They look a lot like streams when they are gradually stacked like that.
3. 00:41:343 (5,6) - This jump is a little jarring.
4. 00:52:176 (2,3,4) - Stack these so they don't look like streams.
5. 01:02:676 (5,6,7,8) - Same with these.
6. 01:09:343 (1,2) - Might be better to lower the spacing on these for consistency.

8. 01:28:010 (4,5) - Again, the jumps. I don't think these will work.

1. OD -1. OD 9 is really strict.
2. 00:15:676 (4) - This slider is overmapping. There's no 1/8 sound in the music. A 1/4 repeat slider would make more sense here.
3. 00:53:676 (1) - This circle is missing a new combo. Is this intentional?
4. 01:29:176 - This is virtually silent. Since it's a slider it should be able to be heard. Try 20%
5. 00:30:259 (9) - Move this to the white tick so the kickslider starts on it, then add a circle where it used to be.

1. 00:08:009 (1,1) - The slider comes very soon after the spinner. This can easily mess up beginners who keep spinning. Done.
2. 00:21:343 (1) - Short multiple repeat sliders like this can be hard for beginners to play since they have to guess there is another repeat. Please consider splitting this into two sliders. Done.
3. 00:22:676 (2) - Same for this one. Done.

Normal

1. 00:53:843 (1) - This circle is missing a new combo. Is this intentional? Oh? I didn't see that.

Hard

1. AR +1, too many overlaps with a low AR makes things hard to see with all the approach circles. Done.

Hard

1. Right now there are a lot of spacing inconsistencies in the map, probably because of Grid 3. For example, http://puu.sh/V0ez notice how the distance from 5 to 6 is much more than 3 to 4 or 4 to 5. I'll list parts where the spacing has slight inconsistency.
2. 00:12:676 (2,3,4,5) - Inconsistency from 4 to 5 Done.
3. 00:14:009 (2,3,4,5,6) - Inconsistency from 4 to 5 Done.

Hyper

1. 00:18:676 (1,2) - This is the first jump in the map and seems a little randomly placed. I recommend removing the jump. Done.
2. 00:20:010 (1,2,3,4) - Stack these normally. They look a lot like streams when they are gradually stacked like that. Done.
3. 00:41:343 (5,6) - This jump is a little jarring. Done.
4. 00:52:176 (2,3,4) - Stack these so they don't look like streams. Done.
5. 01:02:676 (5,6,7,8) - Same with these. Done.
6. 01:09:343 (1,2) - Might be better to lower the spacing on these for consistency. Done.
7. 01:26:010 (2,3) - Unexpected jump. Keeping, I don't really think it's that unexpected.
8. 01:28:010 (4,5) - Again, the jumps. I don't think these will work. Done.

Call me back when you're done and I can rebubble.

1. AR +1, forgot to mention this previously.

1. 00:30:343 (10) - Fix the hitsounding on this slider, it is broken atm because of the previous changes.

seems the upload is fine now

little feelings when i play, no kd plz

[Another]

00:55:176 (1,2,3,4) - the whole mapset dont have distance jump except here, but personaly think this is the part is the strongest of the song, should make player concentrate on crashing the keyboard to fit the beat but not look at the circle to think how to move

01:30:009 (6) - i fell better while starting the stream from here instead of (7)

generaly speaking this is a powerful song, so i perfer the map which can feel the power when playing it. for this reason i think yours does better than the ranked one. good luck on ranking it

01:31:009 (2,3,4) - With these, keep it consistent in comparison with the rhythms used at 01:31:676 (1,2,3,5,6,7) -

1. Tags
   
   1. The tags are inconsistent between difficulties. I believe that "Nimura" should be changed for "Nishimura" in Backfire's Taiko.
   2. You could remove the ":" from "Dracula X:", I suppose.
2. Settings
   
   1. The epilepsy warning is not displayed in Backfire's Taiko, you should activate it there since it's activated in all the other difficulties!
3. Kiai
   
   1. Kiais are unsnapped in Backfire's Taiko (by 10 ms). Please snap them correctly!

1. 00:12:009 (4,5,6) - I don't really recommend patterns like this, you get the end of the slider pretty covered by the hitbursts. At least in easier difficulties, it might be troublesome to read. check if you can work this out in some other way.
   There are other patterns similar to this, like 00:21:343 (1,2,3) and 01:29:343 (5,6,7) - . Make sure to check them out!
   (Just to clear this up, I won't be mad if you don't change this anyway).

1. 00:26:009 (3) - This is very nazi but could you make this symmetrical to (1)? I mean, it looks so wrong right now :C

1. There are a few stacks that could be done perfectly (0,00x spacing), I'll list them and hope you can fix them

   4. 01:33:676 (2) -
2. 00:39:259 - You dragged the break to this point and well, it's not only unsnapped, but it also doesn't make much sense. I'd move it to 00:39:343 in any case, but then...
   
   Why not doing this in all the other standard difficulties?
   
3. 01:12:009 (6,7) - This pattern plays a little weirdly, because the last repetition of (6) goes in a totally different direction than (7) does. I'd try removing a repetition and stacking a circle instead, or maybe repositioning (7). Do as you see fit.
4. 01:41:385 (1) - Please move the start of this to a 1/4th, not a 1/8th. I still have to confirm this but I was informed that it plays horribly in mania mode.
   (Remember to adjust the end of the spinner to the correct timing after that!).

1. 00:52:176 (13,14,15) - Was this effect intended? I mean, the acceleration in the stream's spacing.
   I think that if it was intended, you could improve it. You could add a new combo at 00:52:010 (11) -, and make the spacing bigger starting from that circle. I wanted to give you an image but puush doesn't let me upload any hurrr.
2. 01:29:009 (1) - I was expecting a stop here, not a slider. How about removing this, and simply adding a circle without the new combo? I think it gives a more reasonable effect that matches the music better!
   (You should add a new comgo at 01:29:343 (2) too).
3. 01:31:176 (4) - Did you miss a finish here? Isn't it logical to have one here instead of a whistle, at least?
