[The Damage Has Already Been Done]

I like the hitsounds a lot, but I feel as a player using custom hitsounds wouldn't be able to get feedback from clicking, I would suggest raising the volume in the beginning. (up until 00:28:408)
Also, you shoudl look over the stacks you placed, for example here 00:24:444 (2) - This hitcircle is not stacked up to the slider, so pls fix
01:23:265 (1,1,1) - Unnecessary NC Spam, looks pretty tho, but you should fix this c:
02:32:051 (1,1,1,1) - ^
02:35:480 (1,1,1,1) - ^
This section ( 01:23:265 - 02:45:551 ) is missing the snare hitsound? (most commonly used as clap) An example can be here 02:31:408 (3) - where there would be a snare, but there isn't
02:38:908 (1,1,1,1) - ^ (You get the point)
03:04:408 (1) - Fix blanket, move it so the sliderstart is under the sliderend of 02:59:265 (1) -
04:08:694 (1,1,1,1) - NC Spam thing begins here, pls fix it

sorry for the short and messy mod, i'm bad at this 'w'

Hello, from mod queue :)

I was gonna point out stuff but I noticed that Zekks had already pointed out all the stuff I was gonna so there isnt much here :) All Im gonna say is that this map was really great and enjoyable play except that I think hitsounds could be a bit higher. I dont know if its just me but I feel like the hitsounds are a bit too low in volume. Either way, really fun map :)

Good luck :D

[The Damage Has Already Been Done]

I like the hitsounds a lot, but I feel as a player using custom hitsounds wouldn't be able to get feedback from clicking, I would suggest raising the volume in the beginning. (up until 00:28:408) Yep, added 5% to everything
Also, you shoudl look over the stacks you placed, for example here 00:24:444 (2) - This hitcircle is not stacked up to the slider, so pls fixYe,
its CONSISTENT so I had a reason for it, but I cant think of a good one now :thonk:

01:23:265 (1,1,1) - Unnecessary NC Spam, looks pretty tho, but you should fix this c: Un-NC'd 01:23:694 (1) - but keeping 01:24:015 (1) - NC'd since its a higher sv
02:32:051 (1,1,1,1) - ^ Have to spam for 1/6 :(
02:35:480 (1,1,1,1) - ^ i got rid of a lot of NCs in general but 1/6 again
This section ( 01:23:265 - 02:45:551 ) is missing the snare hitsound? (most commonly used as clap) An example can be here 02:31:408 (3) - where there would be a snare, but there isn't It was there, just really low volume. Also went back thru and made sure snares where all there
02:38:908 (1,1,1,1) - ^ (You get the point)
03:04:408 (1) - Fix blanket, move it so the sliderstart is under the sliderend of 02:59:265 (1) - Fixed blanket, cant put it under the sliderend since it would be unrankable "unclear slider path"
04:08:694 (1,1,1,1) - NC Spam thing begins here, pls fix it

sorry for the short and messy mod, i'm bad at this 'w '
thanks for the mod :D sorry for the really late reply lol, but np on the length it was really helpful <3

upped hitsounds, thanks <3

Changed some stuff with cryptic as well, they can be seen in the change log

Changelog from irl with cryptic
Upped OD to 9 to get better feedback on clickable object's rhythm
03:37:515 (1,2) - NC'd patterns like these to show they aren't 1/2
Upped volume of hitsounds in general
Upped volume of drum-hitwhistle
changed 01:27:765 (1,2) - and 01:41:480 (1,2) - to be less ambiguous
Changed diff name to Psionics to better fit the song's theme around the movie Akira

OD 9.2? That's pretty high even for this kind of a map

Since you have used slider velocities that are above and below the osu!standards editor's bounds, you should note out in the map description that you are using very fast and very slow sliders

00:32:800 (6,7,8,1,2,1,2,3,4) - I think this could've been executed much more cleanly. There is just too much getting overlapped so it starts to look a pile of objects instead of a stream. Stuff like 00:39:550 (5,6,7,8,1,2,1,2,3,4) - looks really nice since it does not try to overlapping itself too much, only what is necessary

01:12:872 (2,5) - Could be kinda nice structure wise if these would not touch each other

01:26:265 (1) - It would be kinda cool if this kind of fast (SV) buzz sliders would have their own (Possibly consistent) shape such as zig zag or other shapes formed by red anchors. Aside it looking more neat it would make it easier for the players to notice this kind of sliders out of the ordinary flow of the map

01:28:408 (2) - 01:42:122 (2) - ect. NC for the sake of the excessive SV change?

01:50:265 (1) - Imo it's kinda weird to break the combo in the middle of the build up pattern

03:13:622 (1) - I think all of the beats like this should have this 03:17:480 (2,3) - kind of fast and sorta big transition

04:07:837 - In this section generally, for example 04:10:194 - and 04:10:837 - , I don't see a reason why do you are you representing the same sounds with different hitsounds. It would definitely be better to use similar hitsounds for them

04:14:480 - 04:17:908 - and ect. These hit hats should be represented as they are still relatively strong and having them play without anything representing them feels like you'd be mapping to the drums in a DnB song and you'd just delete a beat or a reverse here and there. They would be really easy to represent by reversing that slider before them

(Also 04:14:265 (1,1) - looks structurally bit weird)


Good luck fam

Since you have used slider velocities that are above and below the osu!standards editor's bounds, you should note out in the map description that you are using very fast and very slow sliders Sure

00:32:800 (6,7,8,1,2,1,2,3,4) - I think this could've been executed much more cleanly. There is just too much getting overlapped so it starts to look a pile of objects instead of a stream. Stuff like 00:39:550 (5,6,7,8,1,2,1,2,3,4) - looks really nice since it does not try to overlapping itself too much, only what is necessary Yep, fixed the overlaps

01:12:872 (2,5) - Could be kinda nice structure wise if these would not touch each other Done

01:26:265 (1) - It would be kinda cool if this kind of fast (SV) buzz sliders would have their own (Possibly consistent) shape such as zig zag or other shapes formed by red anchors. Aside it looking more neat it would make it easier for the players to notice this kind of sliders out of the ordinary flow of the map I think it's fine right now, they kind of already do have their own shape. I don't use linear repeat sliders in this section for much else (01:31:622 (1) - for example, is a different shape). If the player doesn't read the slider correctly the first time, they will be able to on the other cases due to this consistency. I found 01:29:694 (1) - and 01:43:408 (1) - were wrong and fixed them though. Also changed 01:34:837 (4) - to a curved slider to avoid confusion

01:28:408 (2) - 01:42:122 (2) - ect. NC for the sake of the excessive SV change? Sure, unNC'd 01:25:408 (1) - these as well

01:50:265 (1) - Imo it's kinda weird to break the combo in the middle of the build up pattern I hear it as a different section of music, which is why I have linear flow instead of circular as well.

03:13:622 (1) - I think all of the beats like this should have this 03:17:480 (2,3) - kind of fast and sorta big transition I really want to emphasize the beats at 03:17:694 (3) - Although the beat isn't as strong in these sections 03:14:265 (3) - I try to keep it consistent since this section is supposed to still be at a lower amt of playing intensity

04:07:837 - In this section generally, for example 04:10:194 - and 04:10:837 - , I don't see a reason why do you are you representing the same sounds with different hitsounds. It would definitely be better to use similar hitsounds for them 04:10:837 - is higher pitch and more intense than 04:10:194 - so I use a different hitsound to help emphasize that

04:14:480 - 04:17:908 - and ect. These hit hats should be represented as they are still relatively strong and having them play without anything representing them feels like you'd be mapping to the drums in a DnB song and you'd just delete a beat or a reverse here and there. They would be really easy to represent by reversing that slider before them Yep, I didn't really notice them when mapping this lol

(Also 04:14:265 (1,1) - looks structurally bit weird) Fixed 04:14:694 (1) - 's tail's y pos, and made the head/tail equidistant from 04:14:265 (1) -


Good luck fam Thanks, good luck on your map as well <3

  1. 01:12:765 (1,2) - I think it would play better if you reversed the positions of these two sliders. This is because the angling of 01:12:336 (1,2,1) - is okay, but the direction of the slider of 01:12:765 (1) - is kinda strange in this context.
    Example 1
  2. 04:59:051 (10,1) - The spacing here is kinda weird, I would move 04:59:265 (1) - to x:218 y:338 because its a downbeat www.
Nothing else to say, good work.

To me, I hear this as a slight stop in the music since 9 is a big drum and then the background 1/4 stops. So, that has small spacing to represent that. Although right now its ugly as hell, changed position to fix that.
Nothing else to say, good work. thanks :D

00:26:480 (3,1) - too close.

00:42:015 (6,1) -

00:44:694 (6,7) - I don't think place them too close would be great.
01:10:622 (1,2,3) - uses the same DS?
01:14:051 (1,2) - I think uses one slider sounds much better, it's up to you.
01:44:908 (2,3) - high DS?

00:26:480 (3,1) - too close. Anti-jump cause intensity decreasing
00:31:301 (1,1) - ^ Stop motion to emphasize the bell at 00:31:301 (1) - and since the music is kinda stopping
00:36:765 (1,2,3) - uses the same DS? Emphasizes 00:36:980 (2) -
00:42:015 (6,1) - U didnt write anything here but im emphasizing 1 by making the player make a conscious movement towards it
00:43:622 (1,2) - here you used the high DS but at 00:45:337 (1,2) - don't, the beats sounds similar. 1's synth on the second one is more muted, and the volume of 2's drum beat on the second one is lower
00:44:694 (6,7) - I don't think place them too close would be great. It's consistent right now, and I think the anti-jump fits.
01:10:622 (1,2,3) - uses the same DS? Emphasizing 01:10:837 (2) - with higher DS
01:14:051 (1,2) - I think uses one slider sounds much better, it's up to you. I want to make the drum beat at 01:14:266 (2) - clickable
01:44:908 (2,3) - high DS? I want to emphasize the drum beat at 01:45:122 (3) -
01:50:480 (2,1) - It is necessary to uses high DS such that? Emphasis of drum beat again D: 01:50:694 (1) -
01:51:980 (1,1) - ^
01:53:908 (2,1) - ^
01:57:122 (1,2,1) - ^ I consider this rhythm to be the most intense in the song which is why the kick sliders have high sv and the spacing is so big
02:04:194 (1,1) - ^
02:32:051 (1,1,1,1) - why uses NC on here? Cause it's 1/6, I used to have it be just spaced more than 1/4 like it currently is, but it wasn't easily readable and playtesters had trouble with it
02:35:480 (1,1,1,1) - ^

  1. seems this map has unsused hitsound files:
    1. normal-hitclap7.wav
    2. normal-hitfinish.wav
    3. normal-hitfinish20.wav
    4. normal-hitwhistle2.wav
  2. also you will have to add silence after the end of the file soft-hitwhistle.wav to meet the 100ms length; https://puu.sh/xqDDy/32bc1eae08.wav
[Psionics]
  1. 00:16:194 (3,1) - 00:19:622 (3,1) - 00:23:051 (3,1) - the big spacing doesn't match well with the music since the instruments are not as strong as 00:15:551 (1,2) - for example. i'd recommend a spacing of around 2.0x.
  2. 01:01:408 (1) - start this slider to 01:01:515 -? that's where the buildup truly starts or the least the prominent sound
  3. 01:03:765 (2) - same reason as above; buildup seems to start on 01:03:872 -
  4. 01:04:408 (1,1,1,1) - i think the correct snap is 1/8
  5. 01:12:765 (1,2,1) - 01:16:194 (1,2,1) - this is kind of hard to play in quick succession; maybe it's too early to pull this pattern in the map, but imo closing the spacing may be better
  6. 02:32:051 (1,1,1,1) - 02:35:480 (1,1,1,1) - 02:38:908 (1,1,1,1) - tbh the new combo doesn't help me distinguish well 1/6 and 1/4, it would be intuitive if you played more with the spacing instead. i suggest for the 1/4 to increase its spacing since the gap is longer than 1/6. spacing for 0.5x could work, as long as both snaps have non-similar spacings.
  7. 05:00:980 (1,2,1,2) - this part can (maybe it's just me) be a little confusing since before that was a section with 1/2 and 1/4 rhythms with a play of spacing. seeing that the past patterns have a flow making half a square and 05:00:980 (1,2) - completes the square half, i was thinking of "counter-flow'ing", meaning to have 05:00:980 (1,2,1,2) - go in the opposite direction of 05:00:551 (1,2) -. placement suggestion: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/9010212
  8. 05:16:408 (1) - i think the ending is not correctly snapped; should on 05:22:622 - to get the strings. very pretty slider btw
  9. 05:30:122 (1) - the slider is weirdly following the music; you can probably extend it so that the repeat is on 05:30:444 - to follow the strings.

  1. 00:16:194 (3,1) - 00:19:622 (3,1) - 00:23:051 (3,1) - the big spacing doesn't match well with the music since the instruments are not as strong as 00:15:551 (1,2) - for example. i'd recommend a spacing of around 2.0x. Right now, 1 > 2 has pretty big spacing given that its only a 1/4 gap.
    Slider leniency comes into play ofc, but I personally consider those drum beats to be as important as 1 and 2's sounds. I might be complete off here, but i feel like in play with the low bpm that 1>2>3>1 all have AROUND the same general spacing.
  2. 01:01:408 (1) - start this slider to 01:01:515 -? that's where the buildup truly starts or the least the prominent soundI think that the slider's first part that goes down then the rest going up represents this. Along with that, I think that the noises starting from the one tick are loud enough to include, esp for such a low rhythm density section
  3. 01:03:765 (2) - same reason as above; buildup seems to start on 01:03:872 - Yeah, I can't hear anything on blue tick
  4. 01:04:408 (1,1,1,1) - i think the correct snap is 1/8 Yes it is
  5. 01:12:765 (1,2,1) - 01:16:194 (1,2,1) - this is kind of hard to play in quick succession; maybe it's too early to pull this pattern in the map, but imo closing the spacing may be better Lowered spacing, made them overlap a tiny bit to help convey its 1/4 (don't think it was necessary but still helps).
  6. 02:32:051 (1,1,1,1) - 02:35:480 (1,1,1,1) - 02:38:908 (1,1,1,1) - tbh the new combo doesn't help me distinguish well 1/6 and 1/4, it would be intuitive if you played more with the spacing instead. i suggest for the 1/4 to increase its spacing since the gap is longer than 1/6. spacing for 0.5x could work, as long as both snaps have non-similar spacings. Sure, 1/6 spacing increased but I want 1/4 to be stacked but not unreadably stacked

  8. 05:16:408 (1) - i think the ending is not correctly snapped; should on 05:22:622 - to get the strings. very pretty slider btw Think it got messed up when I was playing with snappings, mb. Also thanks :D
  9. 05:30:122 (1) - the slider is weirdly following the music; you can probably extend it so that the repeat is on 05:30:444 - to follow the strings. Yeah, idk why I thought it was 1/3

o tochi

anyway from q
map's song sounds good
Psionics
01:26:265 (1) - This buzz slider and many others like it seem unnecessary.The song doesn't support this rhythm,but instead heavily supports a short slow moving slider.
01:45:551 (1) - This should be split up into two 1/4 sliders,especially because of the beat on 01:45:658 being completely ignored.
01:55:837 (1) - This is a better usage of the buzz slider,and should serve as an example against stuff like 01:26:265 .
01:58:837 (1) - I feel like this would serve better if it were split into something like this:

01:52:837 (1,2,3) - I feel like it would fit more if you made it like 01:39:122 (2,3) ,unless you're purposefully changing it to distinguish between the two sections.
01:55:408 (1) - This rhythm is identical to 01:58:837 (1) but it uses a different gimmick?
02:05:694 (1,1) - I'm a bit confused now.What's the pattern for the usage of 02:09:122 (1) instead of 02:12:551 (1) if they are the exact same rhythm?
02:25:837 (1) - Another effective usage of the buzz slider.Don't overuse this slider!
02:33:230 - There's a beat here in the music but not on the actual map.Do something like this to remedy this problem:

02:59:265 (1) - Excellent use of slider art!I couldn't do that if my life depended on it!
03:43:408 (1) - please
03:57:122 (1) - stop
04:13:515 (1,2) - that tripped me out what
04:17:265 (5) - NC maybe
In general,you tend to ignore a few beats that shouldn't be ignored,especially for a technical map,and use a few concepts like buzz sliders fairly incorrectly.If you can get that sorted out,you're golden.

Otherwise,incredible job!I can see a pretty bright future for this map!Keep getting mods and improving,because I only see good for the future of this map.Good luck with rank! :)

anyway from q
map's song sounds good
Psionics
01:26:265 (1) - This buzz slider and many others like it seem unnecessary.The song doesn't support this rhythm,but instead heavily supports a short slow moving slider. The map plays a lot around hyperbolic emphasis and having a slow slider would not fit in with this theme. Imo this sound can be represented by either a buzz slider or slow slider, but they have the same general "hold" feel
01:45:551 (1) - This should be split up into two 1/4 sliders,especially because of the beat on 01:45:658 being completely ignored. Both of the sounds at 01:45:658 - and 01:45:765 - are not important enough to be clickable imo, and the slider already encompasses the whooshing sound, which i believe needs active movement
01:55:837 (1) - This is a better usage of the buzz slider,and should serve as an example against stuff like 01:26:265 .
01:58:837 (1) - I feel like this would serve better if it were split into something like this: Throughout this section, I pretty much completely ignore the snare at 01:59:051 - as to me it is woefully unimportant to the song and it's prominent rhythms. Along with that, I have set up the rhythm to be a 1/2 hold (of the finger, not through aiming). Along with that, the changes to rhythm and consistency make this a sound which should be further emphasized,
as it deviates from the norm


01:52:837 (1,2,3) - I feel like it would fit more if you made it like 01:39:122 (2,3) ,unless you're purposefully changing it to distinguish between the two sections. I hear them as two different rhythms/sound combos despite having the same rhythm
01:55:408 (1) - This rhythm is identical to 01:58:837 (1) but it uses a different gimmick? Both of the wub sounds have their pitch go up and down, the ones with a repeat are completely different from the other wub sounds with the same rhythm as the ratio of going up vs. going down is around the same amount. In the majority of cases, there is a short ratio in favor of going up and going down. On the blue tick, a growl occurs along with a soft snare sound thing, which I skip over for the majority of sliders since it isn't a very important sound, but it works with the repeat slider. If there wasn't any additional sound on the blue tick, the repeat slider would still be different, except only in shape (symmetrical with a kink in the middle)
02:05:694 (1,1) - I'm a bit confused now.What's the pattern for the usage of 02:09:122 (1) instead of 02:12:551 (1) if they are the exact same rhythm?
02:25:837 (1) - Another effective usage of the buzz slider.Don't overuse this slider!
02:33:230 - There's a beat here in the music but not on the actual map.Do something like this to remedy this problem: Imo it's unnecessary to hit all the sounds. The important sounds to me are the snares and the drum beats, with the snares being most important of those two. The snares drown out the 1/4 after this, and the next drum beat is 02:35:051 (1) - so I think it would go against the general rhythm to add that.

02:59:265 (1) - Excellent use of slider art!I couldn't do that if my life depended on it!<3
03:43:408 (1) - please :( I really think these fit the music a lot more than one slow slider
03:57:122 (1) - stop
04:13:515 (1,2) - that tripped me out what I use this general rhythm and visuals earlier in the calmer section, so the player should be familiar with it at this point (03:59:801 (4,5) - ) I made the angle a bit steeper though, it was looking pretty ugly
04:17:265 (5) - NC maybe I don't really see a reason to tbh
In general,you tend to ignore a few beats that shouldn't be ignored,especially for a technical map,and use a few concepts like buzz sliders fairly incorrectly.If you can get that sorted out,you're golden.

I think a core part of my mapping for songs like this is extreme emphasis on important sounds/beats. This song has a lot of overlaying rhythms, which make it impossible to emphasize something along with making everything clickable. A huge example of this is at 01:52:622 - where I interpret the hi-hat going on every 1/2 beat being trivial overall to map compared to the stop motion to emphasize the synth at 01:52:408 (1) -

01:52:408 (1) - you say this is a good use of a buzz slider, but don't agree with 01:26:265 (1) - which in my interpretation is due to the fact the buzzing sound is more prominent. However, to me the buzzing behind all the buzz sliders is prominent enough to warrant their usage, even if you might have mapped it differently. I agree there are a lot of buzz sliders and that their impact diminishes, but even still all of them fit to me. I think what matters most for the rank-ability is whether I'm consistent in my usage and whether they're playable.

I appreciate the input on the buzz sliders and missed notes, but it goes against a lot of the themes of the map. Also, I think a lot of the points we disagree on are subjective about how certain sounds should be mapped. And that's fine, but I'm pleased with the way it has turned out right now so I am not keen on changing those things I consider important to the map.

Hopefully this explains a lot of my decisions to deny parts of your mod, I'm fine discussing it further if you still disagree though.

Otherwise,incredible job!I can see a pretty bright future for this map!Keep getting mods and improving,because I only see good for the future of this map.Good luck with rank! :) Thanks, good luck on your map as well <3
Thanks for the mod! And sorry for my disagreement on a lot of things, lemme know if my explanations weren't enough

Hey I'm not a modder or anything like that, just a guy that liked the map and song a lot. Just thought I'd give my 2 cents on some stuff that could make the map a bit nicer.

Anyways, I have only 2 suggestions:
  1. 04:27:551 (3,4,5,6,1,2) - Increasing the spacing in patterns like this would make it way more clear that this is a slower stream and that it is different from the kind of pattern at 04:29:265 (1,1,1,1).
  2. Also: making sliders larger and maybe using CS2,5 or something like that to emphasize the speed difference of the sliders.
That's all, overall I found the map to be very very fun and would love to see how it turns out when you're done with it. Best of luck to you (and sorry if I messed up and/or my post is useless).

This section is already on the verge of being too difficult for the intensity of the music. If i raised the spacing on this, i would need to do it for the other similar patterns. Since this is a pretty common pattern it would raise the difficulty a lot. I also have a lot of 1/4 stacks, so I can't really have the 1/6 be really small spacing. Right now I think the spacing for 1/6 is as close to readable in this section as it's going to get. Along with that, having the NC spam should help a lot in terms of read-ability
  2. Also: making sliders larger and maybe using CS2,5 or something like that to emphasize the speed difference of the sliders. I think a lower cs would emphasize the speed differences less, cause you would have a lot more leniency

Sorry that I didn't take any of your suggestions, but I've thought a lot about most of the patterns and spacings in this map, and think right now a lot of them are at the best compromise to everything. I still really appreciate the input though!

m4m from my queue

Psionics

01:31:837 (1) - I think you should slightly adjust this overlap to make it look nicer. Maybe more towards the top-left side, as a perfect overlap doesn't have the same feel.

01:40:033 - The volume here should be decreased to 20 because the little drum-roll effect it gives doesn't fit the long sound in the song.

02:16:837 - I think having the chorus on here is distracting because it makes the circles light up, while none of them are on the beat, so they'd flash at the wrong time. Even if, it doesn't feel like it fits because it seems like the chorus has ended.

05:30:872 - The beatmap will cut to the scoreboard here, so I feel it'd be awkward to have this dominant sound in the background while the scoreboard pops up. I think a spinner should be placed here so when the map cuts it's where the sound ends as well.

you got a call back and then like 5 ppl modded it lol
i guess ill give my two cents on this

sonics
• 00:46:408 (4,5) - the rhythm that you click 5 on is super quiet, a ctrl+g here would be very nice

• 00:49:944 (4,5) - same kinda thing, the noes under this are rly quiet

• 01:04:408 (1,2,3) - would recommend ncs here to show the weird rhythm, like you do later in the map with 1/6 streams

• 01:11:694 (5,1) - the way this stream goes opposite of the flow from 5 to 1 is a little of a pain to play, try usingctrl+j on 1

• 01:14:051 (1) - imo you should curve this more lightly to better fit in with the curve of 01:13:730 (6) -

• 01:14:587 (2,1) - feel like you should lessen the overlap here, 1 is pretty hidden behind the slidertail of 2

• 01:35:158 - why is this note unmapped? ignoring it just makes it feel like there's something missing there

• 02:23:051 (1,1) - same idea as 01:14:051 (1) -, a more similar slidercurve here would make this feel more structured

• 02:28:837 (1) - i disagree with the intense slider sv here, with this speed you're saying that the sound under this is stronger than the one at 02:28:087 (1) - , which doesn't sound right ido

• 03:27:980 (3) - adjust this sliderhead to overlap the sliderbody less, while this isnt a burial slider its pretty close to one and doesn't look that attractive imo picture

• 03:45:337 (1,2) - why the kickslider here also? feels overdone again, and you don't do this for many of your triple rhythms (03:53:265 (2,3,4) - 03:38:908 (2,3,4) - )

• 04:00:122 (1,2,1) - this would feel more comfortable like this because it better utilizes slider leniency

• 04:21:015 - 04:21:015 - ignored notes at both of these, i also think it would be better for this jump 04:21:122 (1,1) - to happen ON the white tick at 04:21:122 - because of the strong snare. change your rhythm around here and find a way to undermap it less, i came up with a suggestion that i think is really close to what you wanted to do here: boop same for 04:48:551 (1,1,2) -

• 04:24:551 (1) - it feels like this is mapped to the snare since its on the white tick which doesn't feel right for a buzzslider. Try filling in the white tick with something else and starting that at 04:24:765 - even though it seems rly late it's more accurate to the bass sound

• 04:35:158 - again with the unmapped note

• 04:48:551 (1,1,2,1) - would recommend using more accurate time-distance equality for your spacing here, these notes are all spaced the same with different timeline gaps and feels choppy to play

really neat map, this improved a LOT between when you put it in my queue and now.
maybe if you fix most of these and probation system gets implemented soon i can qual :)

• 00:46:408 (4,5) - the rhythm that you click 5 on is super quiet, a ctrl+g here would be very nice I'm trying to show the difference between 00:44:694 (6,7,8) - and this. Although 00:44:908 (7) - is fairly quiet compared to the sound on it's slider tail, I think having spacing emphasis on 00:45:122 (8) - is really important (and having it be a triple doesn't feel right, and increases reading difficulty too much for this section imo). Then, when 8 isn't part of the combo, it's mapped the same way but with a kind of stop motion instead of large spacing to emphasize the lack of that beat.
I moved down 00:47:051 (1,2,1,2,3) - to be consistent with my theme thing as well (it felt like a stop motion already, but wasn't enough)

• 00:49:944 (4,5) - same kinda thing, the noes under this are rly quiet fixed by making 00:49:837 (3,4,5) - repeat slider, and 00:42:980 (2,3,4) - to be consistent with rhythm expression.

• 01:04:408 (1,2,3) - would recommend ncs here to show the weird rhythm, like you do later in the map with 1/6 streams Yeah, i made then non NC'd cause it was within "normal" ticks, but its weird enough to warrant it

• 01:11:694 (5,1) - the way this stream goes opposite of the flow from 5 to 1 is a little of a pain to play, try usingctrl+j on 1 done

• 01:14:051 (1) - imo you should curve this more lightly to better fit in with the curve of 01:13:730 (6) - 6 is a kinda buzzing noise while 1 is whooshing, so I think they deserve different slider shapes, and the juxtaposition between their curves just further shows that

• 01:14:587 (2,1) - feel like you should lessen the overlap here, 1 is pretty hidden behind the slidertail of 2 changed 1's angle to make it more visible

• 01:35:158 - why is this note unmapped? ignoring it just makes it feel like there's something missing there Yeah, you're right, added. I can't believe i skipped over that LOL

• 02:23:051 (1,1) - same idea as 01:14:051 (1) -, a more similar slidercurve here would make this feel more structured Same reasoning as above, although this one isn't as big of a wooshing sound, so I might reconsider

• 02:28:837 (1) - i disagree with the intense slider sv here, with this speed you're saying that the sound under this is stronger than the one at 02:28:087 (1) - , which doesn't sound right ido Why not make them both super fast :^) upped sv on the second thing u linked. However, for this pattern it's kind of a build-up imo, so even if the sound is stronger than another, the overall build-up of the section kind of trumps that I think, to try and get consistently faster. 02:28:408 (1) - is kinda slow since the sound patterning changes at this point, along with the rhythm. However, it still applies the same general "this is the build-up section, get faster!!!" idea. Along with that, due to the fastness of the second section compared to the first (in terms of being 1/2 instead of 3/4)
I feel the quickness of those 1/4 sliders really fits the music


• 03:27:980 (3) - adjust this sliderhead to overlap the sliderbody less, while this isnt a burial slider its pretty close to one and doesn't look that attractive imo picture Sure

• 03:45:337 (1,2) - why the kickslider here also? feels overdone again, and you don't do this for many of your triple rhythms (03:53:265 (2,3,4) - 03:38:908 (2,3,4) - ) Telephone noises here, its the same as 02:55:622 (1,2,3) -

• 04:00:122 (1,2,1) - this would feel more comfortable like this because it better utilizes slider leniency Hmm, that goes against the flow I'm going for. I see what you're saying, but with such a low bpm as well, I don't think it will be a huge deal anyway, it helps emphasize 04:00:551 (1) - since u have to hold it slightly longer

• 04:21:015 - 04:21:015 - ignored notes at both of these, i also think it would be better for this jump 04:21:122 (1,1) - to happen ON the white tick at 04:21:122 - because of the strong snare. change your rhythm around here and find a way to undermap it less, i came up with a suggestion that i think is really close to what you wanted to do here: boop same for 04:48:551 (1,1,2) - OOO that fits really well, changed changed changed. It was spaced like that since originally it was a double, but I noticed lack of other note and it kinda lost the original meaning or the jump. (also I think u meant to link 04:20:372 - instead of the same time twice, lmk if I was wrong about that)

• 04:24:551 (1) - it feels like this is mapped to the snare since its on the white tick which doesn't feel right for a buzzslider. Try filling in the white tick with something else and starting that at 04:24:765 - even though it seems rly late it's more accurate to the bass sound I hear the bass sound starting more on the blue tick, so put it there

• 04:35:158 - again with the unmapped note AGAIN WITH THE FIX B)

• 04:48:551 (1,1,2,1) - would recommend using more accurate time-distance equality for your spacing here, these notes are all spaced the same with different timeline gaps and feels choppy to play Aaaand fixed

hi m4m from your queue

General

OD is the extreme for 4* at least 8.5 is ok
this map is pretty damn easy to pass because of many NCs+HP6 so i think raising HP a bit is fine

Psionics

01:02:158 (2,1) - close up the spacing a bit i think, this could make an unnecessary 100 on the slider end
01:12:765 (1,2,1) - should be equaly spaced
01:14:480 (1,2,1) - ^
01:23:265 (1,1) - i fuckin love this
01:35:265 (1,2,3,4,1) - this should have lower spacing than 01:35:908 (1,2,3,4,1) -
02:28:087 (1) - this goes on for too long
03:12:980 - from this point to 04:07:837 - the song is quite repitetive and some part looks almost like you have copy pasted it, repeats too much and the map will get boring as you play so i think you could represent the other part of the song in another way yet dont feel diffrent (hard task but i would enjoy the map even more than i already do)
04:07:837 - same here until 04:59:265 -
Best of luck! (i would like to this get ranked so i will shoot a star ;))

Psionics

01:02:158 (2,1) - close up the spacing a bit i think, this could make an unnecessary 100 on the slider end Intentional, player has to hold for longer and further emphasizes the drum beat with quick movement
01:12:765 (1,2,1) - should be equaly spaced Whoops, think i messed it up when fiddling with that pattern. Fixed
01:14:480 (1,2,1) - ^ yep
01:23:265 (1,1) - i fuckin love this thanks <3<3
01:35:265 (1,2,3,4,1) - this should have lower spacing than 01:35:908 (1,2,3,4,1) - It already does have slightly higher spacing, and I the wider path makes it more difficult than the pattern before, so I think it would be too difficult for the intensity if the difficulty was increased
02:28:087 (1) - this goes on for too long Oh huh, timing point got reset from 2.5x to 2x somehow
03:12:980 - from this point to 04:07:837 - the song is quite repitetive and some part looks almost like you have copy pasted it, repeats too much and the map will get boring as you play so i think you could represent the other part of the song in another way yet dont feel diffrent (hard task but i would enjoy the map even more than i already do)
04:07:837 - same here until 04:59:265 - Changing the patterning around for each section wouldn't really fit the music imo. I already change around the patterns for increased intensity, despite the rhythms being pretty similar
Best of luck! (i would like to this get ranked so i will shoot a star ;)) U guys shouldn't shoot stars, they're just wasted after 12 sp unfortunately :(( but I really appreciate the sentiment <3

  1. there's a fade in effect in files soft-hitfinish2 and soft-hitfinish7 at the beginning, so here's an updated file you can use for both: https://puu.sh/xvTzs/db8f218d40.wav
  2. 01:04:730 (1,1) - i think it's best to keep the spacing small to not fool the players with the sudden jump since the gap is much smaller than 01:04:408 (1,1) - while these have a small distance in-between. i would say x:260 y:140 is a good placement.

ye ive gone past my edgy phase of 5x svs and quitting every map :^)
Mir
i would have preferred 5x sv since it would have fit more with the kiai section

that aside:
This is a bit questionable, like mainly here:
I think it's a little too ambiguous so I'll just pop this for now so you can fix it (or if you have arguments against you can bring them forward for discussion). You can get sheela to rebubble after it's adjusted. The reason being you can't exactly tell if you should be going up first or down first. Something like this would be clearer:
Topic Starter
Jakomo73
sure, isn't that important to the slider and might help players read it (although I do think the slider path before would've shown the player where to go. Better to be safe than sorry)

Also I like the way the kiai is expressed rn D: 5x sv was really cancer to play when I had it (think i sent it to you at some point in the beginning lol)

05:33 Jakomo73: hey did u have any problems besides that slider?
05:33 Mir: nah it was just that
05:33 Jakomo73: ok, thanks ^^
05:33 Mir: not bad for a first map tho i think you could been a bit more idk
05:33 Mir: force more movement in the second part
05:33 Mir: felt a little lacking in that department but the first part was pretty nice
05:34 Jakomo73: by second part do you mean second part of the chorus?
05:34 Mir: nah like after the really long slider-art part
05:34 Mir: the really repetitive part
05:34 Jakomo73: ahh
05:34 Mir: the part is already pretty repetitive so making something interesting out of it would mask that repetitiveness
05:34 Mir: but atm you have a pretty basic part there
05:36 Jakomo73: hmm, im not too sure what i couldve done to combat too much
05:36 Mir: well for one raise the sv
05:36 Jakomo73: interpretting rhythms with different objects prob would be a good start tho
05:36 Mir: i don't think the song calls for such a low sv at all there, it's a fairly fluid section
05:36 Mir: i mean it's pretty subjective tho lol
05:36 Mir: mm lets look
05:37 Jakomo73: to me that section is more of a technical rhythm section instead of an aim section
05:37 Jakomo73: although streams of 5 and triples isnt very technical tbf
05:37 Mir: tbf
05:37 Mir: 03:16:408 (1,2,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5) -
05:37 Mir: this isn't technical at all LOL
05:38 Jakomo73: that parts just coming out of the super slow section tho, I think having it be pretty calm kinda fits
05:39 Jakomo73: doubles are very technical tho :^)
05:40 Mir: not at this bpm

05:40 Mir: from 03:16:408 -
05:40 Mir: just so it's not so empty
05:40 Mir: cuz atm it feels like the song is going but i'm barely moving
05:41 Mir: then 03:37:515 (1,1) - is pretty out of the blue
05:41 Mir: in such a calm part
05:41 Mir: (the nc doesn't help)
05:42 Mir: i like 04:07:837 - this part a lot more than the part before it tbh
05:42 Mir: 04:33:551 (1,2,1,2,1) - but this is so underwhelmingggg
05:44 Mir: idk about you but i feel like https://i.imgur.com/cqTWk1b.png fits more for 04:33:551 -
05:44 Mir: since you have the hihats in the back too that you were previously mapping with streams like 04:23:265 (1,2,3,4,5) - etc
05:45 Mir: idk just some things to take into consideration is all
05:45 Mir: it's really up to you in the end it's not enough to make me pop the map cuz it's not what i interpret the song as
05:46 Jakomo73: yeah i dont really agree with the calm part, but I think ill make those changes to the second thing you linked
05:46 Jakomo73: cause that sounds and plays a ton better than just 3/4 jumps
05:47 Jakomo73: i will try to change some of the repetative parts tho to accentuate the differences in rhythm as well
05:48 Mir: i like how
05:48 Mir: you SORT of had the idea with 04:47:480 (2,3,1,2,3,4) -
05:48 Mir: just making 1/4 sliders to fit the hihats would have been perfect imo
05:50 Jakomo73: yeah i completely agree with that, ill have to add 1/4 sliders to those jump parts
05:50 Mir: dammit now i feel like mapping this song at some point
05:50 Mir: but i already have 9 pending slots aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
05:50 Mir: good luck with this btw
05:50 Jakomo73: its a really good song
05:50 Jakomo73: thanks, i appreciate the help <3
05:51 Mir: o//
05:51 Jakomo73: do u mind if i post logs in the thread? just kinda for "says rebubble is fine" as well?
05:52 Mir: lemme do it so i can milk some free kds out of this

Jako wants to make some more changes so he asked me to put the log here.

I'm not vetoing or anything so you can rebubble it whenever.

Good luck!
