Please crop your SB images so that there isn't as much transparency. You may have to readjust your code so things look the same afterward. Done.

[Easy]
00:10:676 (1) - Pretty dang soon after a spinner for an Easy - especially one this high-BPM. Give the player more time to reaim and also maybe put the next note closer to the center to also help with that. Done.
00:53:343 (1) - Same thing here Done.
01:29:343 (1) - And here, though tbh the spinner didn't feel like it fit the music anyway. Done.

[Normal]
01:12:009 (1,2) - This just kind of looks ugly. A stack on top of a stubby slider. :/ Changed it around.

[Taiko]
01:08:760 (1) - K? Done.
01:29:176 (147,148) - Why are these here when there's nothing in the music? Done.
God damn that SB is distracting with the taiko bar there. :/

[Hyper]
Wow. Way too streamy for a transition from a Normal -> Hard. I can't really do anything about it, since Faust rarely comes on.

[Another]
00:44:843 (4,6) - Move down one grid Done.

The Normal -> Hard is too big of a difficulty jump. Reduce it (mostly look at the streams) and this set should be good to go.

I haven't done a recheck yet, but if you do not wish to alter Faust's map, you may want to consider adding one to go between the Normal and his map difficulty-wise. Right now I don't feel comfortable pushing this forward as it is, sorry.

Alrighty then.

[General]
01:44:009 - The end spinner in Beginner and Easy end here, but in the other difficulties they end earlier. Choose one and line them up please. Done.

[Hard]
00:14:676 (6) - This repeat is fairly hidden by a hitburst. Moved it around.
00:58:009 (8,9) - This part is kind of weird. You use a jump here, but not at 01:00:676 (3,4) - or 01:03:343 (5,6) - Keep them consistent please. Done.

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.
7. 01:26:010 (2,3) - Unexpected jump.
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.

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

1. Tags

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!

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

   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?
