I just stumbled upon the map while browsing through unranked map out of boredom xD Kinda like the map, so...might as well try to mod it (Note: IO'm still a beginner at mod so feel free to ignore my suggestions) helo

SPOILER

First the difficulty setting.

AR 10 seems fine to me, but OD 9.8 is a little much considering the 250 bpm and the insane streams. Something like OD 9.3-9.5 seems better i think... notelock is not fun to deal with at this bpm so higher od = better

HP 7 is...well, it's fine, but it's a bit unforgiving. yea i guess hp6 is probably enough

CS 4.2 is fine to me.

IDK why you left out the first 30 seconds unmapped, but not gonna question it. planning on mapping it, i just got lazy

Next, the map itself.

01:26:946 (4,5) - If you're prioritizing the vocals, you can do it like this instead (I think it follows the vocals better): https://gyazo.com/42fdc9717f642631999f659dab04c2b8 mostly focused on the guitar in this section, which my current rhythm fits better i think, it also decently follows the vocals so its fine

01:28:146 (1) - Not sure why NC is here, it seems unnecessary. its there to focus on the descending guitar riff, which is a two pattern riff hence the two combos

01:28:266 (2,1) - - Why is the spacing between these two less than the spacing here:01:28:026 (2,1) - despite the stronger sound on this note 01:28:386 (1) - ? i gave them both similar spacing, since i think the flow change is enough emphasis

01:28:626 (1,2) - If you're prioritizing the vocals, you can do it like this instead (I think it follows the vocals better): https://gyazo.com/a64ea4d738a29633478662b75292bfa8 (I think you might get it by now, so I'm not saying this again. Though like I said in the first sentenc, ignore my suggestions if you wish) yea i think the rhythm i have now does a good job with following the guitar yet still having some focus on the vocals, thanks though! it did make me consider using other rhythm choices if there's better suggestions

01:29:226 (3,4,1) - This triplet seems unnecessary, unless you're trying to emphasize the sound on 1 yea its there as an emphasis for the next guitar riff since it changes a bit

01:30:066 (5) - I can understand that you want to lower SV to follow the low guitar sound, but the players might misread this as a 1/4 slider rather than 1/2. haven't seen any misreads on this yet, but if it is a problem i'll increase the sv a little

01:31:146 (6,7,1) - ^ Look at 01:29:226 (3,4,1) above. different vocals from 01:27:426 (1,2) - yet same guitar riff so i added the triple to add some variety

01:31:746 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - I don't understand the usage of these stacks...can you explain it to me? the guitar notes are repeated twice for each combo so the stacks are repeated to represent that, which is why 01:32:706 (1,2) - breaks the pattern, since the guitar breaks pattern there too

From 01:34:146 to 01:39:306 - I don't see why you use these 1/4 sliders and triplets instead of normal 1/2 jumps, I don't hear any sounds that warrant them. i'm aware of that, which is why the slider ends are muted. playing kites map of this, this section felt way too underwhelming with just jumps compared to what the music had to offer, so i used kick sliders to represent the bass kicks and triples whenever a change in note happened. jumps alone feel way to weak for how intense this part is

01:41:346 (1) - This slider seems a bit too fast for me, though it might actually be fine for others. i'll keep an eye on it, its a pretty significant pinch harmonic though so i'd like to keep it

01:44:946 (1) - This SV change and NC seems a bit unnecessary. fixed nc, sv change is there for vocals

01:45:426 (1) - This NC seems unnecessary. already explained

01:45:546 (2,1) - ^ Look at 01:28:266 (2,1) above

01:47:346 (5) - ^ Look at 01:30:066 (5) above

01:58:626 (3,4,1,2,3) - I think two sliders here would fit better (Just my opinion): https://gyazo.com/29a40587e202d66c96d2aedcdc7846db there's a really weird rhythm going on here, i'd use your rhythm but the strong organ sounds both start on blue ticks, along with the drum roll in the bg, its hard to find a better rhythm to use

02:17:586 (1,1,1) - This NC spam and SV changes seem unnecessary. i really like the guitar melody at those parts and i think they deserve the emphasis i use

02:19:506 (1,1,1) - ^ Look above.

02:20:946 (1,2) - This spacing is...uh...kinda weird to me. there's no real significant sound on (2) so idunno what you mean

02:21:426 (1,2,3) - In my opinion this looks better: https://gyazo.com/a4ec63e8fe8c8ccfe37d7f53828c7d42 i remapped it completely instead

02:23:346 (1,2,3,4,5) - I think this is supposed to be at 2:23:226 since the 5 1/4 drum hits begins at 2:23:226 and ends at 2:23:466 remapped to fit drums

02:27:906 (1,2,3) - There's no sound on 2 but it's fine I think.

02:31:266 (1,1) - This spacing is a bit too big, but maybe that's just me.

02:40:626 (1) - Why is NC here instead of at 02:40:386 (5) - ? And for some reason at 02:42:066 (4,1) - NC is correct...weird whoops!

03:01:506 (3,4,5) - The notes here touch the performance bar, though just barely. You mgiht want to change that. changed

03:01:986 (6,7) - The spacing should be larger since it's very possible to misread this as 1/2 instead of 1/1 should be fine, i'll consider changing it though

03:02:946 (2) - No NC? isn't necessary

03:43:986 (1,1,1) - ^ Look at 02:17:586 (1,1,1) above.

03:45:906 (1,1,1) - ^ Look above.

03:47:826 (1,1,1) - ^ Look above.

03:49:266 (5) - A 1/2 slider follow by a note would fit better than this 1/1 slider (In my opinion of course). too similar to the patterns before, i wanted this sound to be unique

03:55:986 (3) - Since the last 2 sets have NC the white ticks why not put NC here? these are all snares unlike the other two

03:56:226 (1,2,3,4,5) - Uh, I did not hear a sound on 2. Why not put a note than triplets here instead? : https://gyazo.com/575c835929489c1326aa1ce82ab25dff there is definitely a sound on 2

04:01:026 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - No NC on 5? Eh, up to you on this one. might remap this, don't know how to approach it yet though

04:02:946 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I think putting NC on every white ticks here would work better (In my opinion) : https://gyazo.com/5cf4a00a0fbf6aa9380c147a56810721 yeah i agree, i'll probably do that when/if i remap this section

04:04:866 (1,2,3) - There's no sound on 2 but eh, might be fine. can't tell if there is or not but yea, it should be fine

From 04:06:066 to 04:12:546 - The streams here is quite overdone. Put some 1/4 repeating sliders or normal 1/4 sliders here (Or maybe reduce the spacionga tiny bit) since this difficulty spike came out of nowhere. this section is pretty empowering to me, considering its the chorus yet unlike the first one its filled with kick spam, i don't think i'll be changing it.

04:17:106 (5) - Look at 01:30:066 (5) above.

04:21:186 (1) - This...uh...I think some 1/1 sliders or 1/1 notes fit this better. long scream in the bg, didn't want to ignore it completely

From 04:28:866 to 04:36:486 - Put some 1/4 repeating sliders here and reduce spacing a bit, this is a bit ridiculous (Though I can imagine someone like gayzmcgee saying this is fine) but that scream in the background!!!! the length of this stream is fully supported (i really like streams too if you didn't notice)

05:04:386 (1,2,3) - There's mo sound on 2 but eh, might be fine. there is,

From 05:08:226 to 05:14:946 - I can understand the spaciong, since this is the finale of the song, but put some 1/4 sliders (repeating or normal) here since this is a bit much even for a grand finale ^^' its not a bit much!

05:21:906 (2,3,4) - There's no sund on 3 but eh, might be fine. there's a pretty noticeable kick there :O

05:23:226 (2,3,4) - ^ Look above.

05:26:106 (2,3,4) - ^ Look above. done for emphasis

Alright and that's the end of my mod! Again, I'm still beginner to modding so ignore some suggestions (Or maybe all of them lol) if you want too, and good luck with this map!

Your suggestions definitely help me, I find a lot of your responses quite helpful for me as a mapper (Albeit an inexperienced one), so thank you! (No kudoso? Eh, whatever don't give me it if you don't want to xD I'm not desperate for kudosu) And again, good luck on ranking your map!

This map is beautiful.

03:56:858 (3,1) - What the fuck is this.

That was literally the only problem I saw in this map.

The actual fuck???
