Hi hi, Stefan asked me to play the Inner Oni and leave my opinion here, so here I am
Overall, the difficulty isn't too bad, it flows rather well, but I feel like in some places there's difficulty that's being
forced into the map rather than actually being present, which kinda was asymmetric (Heh see what I did there
)
The first point where I felt like there was overcompensation of difficulty was at 00:35:290 (175,176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183,184,185,186,187) - because these few notes sound almost exactly alike to the rest of the song before it (up to where the bass drops, of course) meaning to play this section of the map and then have this mini stream all of sudden pop up felt rather intrusive, although I'm sure it was for the purpose of transition. I'd much rather it stay consistent with the patterns that were already set in place before it, in my eyes being better as a (starting from 00:32:106), kkd kdk dkddkdk. The multiple triplets in a row creates a feeling of intensity, and the 7 note plet is consistent with the oodles of other 7 note plets you had before it.
Secondly, this isn't overcompensation of difficulty, but at 00:36:946 (189,190,191,192,193) - I feel like you have the rhythms reversed, as imo it should be d (dkkd) in stead of (dkkd) k. The piano tremolo is clearly placed on 00:37:130 as oppose to 00:36:946, and sounds wrong as it is mapped in its current state.
At 00:50:934 (301,302,303,304) - I feel like these 1/6 are rather unnecessary, when I slow down the playback to 50% speed, I think it's more representative to change the 4 notes into regular 3 1/4 notes, as there is a clear snare-ish like hit on notes 301 and 302. After I removed the 1/6 in the editor, I felt that keeping it as a regular 1/4 stream (dkddkdkddkd) was much more correct from a rhythmic standpoint. The same basic concept also applies to 01:13:572 (474,475,476,477) - as I feel the 1/6 is also quite unnecessary, and will rhythmically be better represented as just kdk instead of (kddk).
Similarly to the first comment I made, 01:30:873 (604,605,606,607,608,609,610,611,612,613,614,615,616,617,618) - is quite intrusive when playing and in consistency. The same things I said before still apply here, except in this case I would suggest the deletion of notes 609 and 615.
01:43:940 (708,709,710,711) - is rather the same thing I mentioned earlier about unnecessary 1/6, so I won't need to repeat myself, however it is still worth pointing out.
That really wraps it all up, it's all really picky stuff, but nonetheless I'm sure the veto was just to ensure that the map was as good as it could be.
Hope to see this ranked soon~
k_hand:
like 00:50:934 - , there's no such 1/6 sound here, I'd place kkd here instead of putting dkkd
