Well okay then. All these are suggestions, if you disagree any please say why. D:
It's not really a long mod post, just so detailed explanations I guess o.o
General:
Perhaps you could do some custom colors? Idk. The default looks rather bland to me.
Lol whistle usage sounds very DJPop-ish to me, but maybe find a suitable drum hitsound too? ._. I don't want to hear whistles like 50% of the map since whistles loses their meaning
that and I really hate whistle hitsoundEasy:
Perhaps tick rate 1? Sounds rather "busy" on sliders. Pretty sure you don't need consistent tick rates for all diffs
00:08:165 (3) - I see that you tried to make a blanket here. I'm not that good at making blankets, but using the approach circle as a guide can really help. Here's how your slider looks so far.
http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/165779. Then after a little messing around, you could make this
http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/165780. Try it out as a guide. You can have the code if you want btw lol
168,200,8165,2,2,B|132:296|260:384|348:272,1,280
00:10:142 (1) - It plays weird to me. The note really starts on the red tick, but you mapped to the white tick. Perhaps a note on 00:09:962 and 1/2 slider at 00:10:501 would sound better.
00:11:219 (6) - I think it would be better you removed the repeat and placed at 00:11:040 with the slider ending at 00:11:758. Then just add a note at 00:12:297. Sounds better to me since some of the music is on the red tick.
00:15:531 (1) - Maybe map this instead of a spinner? Beginners get tired after spinning (especially since you also started off with a spinner 10 seconds earlier)
00:47:866 (1,2) - I don't know if you wanted them in the middle but one grid down :3
00:49:303 (1,1) - Seems quite a lot of spinning for beginners. I prefer you map both of them actually since you can use like one note and one long slider for each of those spinners.
00:55:770 (1) - Finish on slider start since you hear it in music too?
00:56:489 (2) - Maybe 1/2 slider instead of 1/1?
00:57:926 (1) - I think this was nice to break away from constant 1/1.
00:59:363 (3) - 1/2 slider also?
01:04:213 (3) - Instead of a repeating slider on the red ticks, perhaps you could make a long slider instead? For one, repeat sounds a bit odd to me on red ticks during held note since it's not usually with the metronome.
01:12:477 (3) - Maybe remove repeat and extend slider to 01:12:836 and add a note on 01:13:016? It plays pretty well for me and adding a note at 01:13:016 emphasizes the downbeat (oh yeah add a finish since you hear it in the music)
01:15:890 (4) - +1 repeat? (Read below)
01:16:968 (1) - I suggest removing this spinner. It seems quite short and the slider afterwards comes quite quicky after a spinner o.o
01:17:327 (x) - If you removed the spinner, then I suggest adding a 4/1 slider here. (or you can map to the vocals if you want)
01:20:022 (2) - Same note about blanket earlier.
01:21:999 (1,2) - Same note as earlier (the ones at 00:10:142 (1,2) )
To me, I don't really see much problem mapping to red ticks sometimes. Maybe it's not your style though :3
Normal:
I am confused sometimes orz. You map to the song sometimes and sometimes you map to vocals ._.
Perhaps raising AR by 1 tick could help readability.
00:07:267 (1) - Yeah. On IRC. Okay I won't nazi anymore sliders.
168,104,7267,2,2,B|200:160|256:184|312:160|344:104,1,220
00:08:345 (1) - I think it would play better if placed at 00:08:165. It might be too hard so err just do what you want.
00:12:836 (1,2) - I think this pattern is confusing for beginners. Spacing it out would really make it more visible. And too many whistles o.o Remove whistle on 1's slider end and 2's slider start.
00:15:531 (1) - This slider feels weird since the downbeat is not where the music holds the note. Perhaps add a note on the downbeat and then adding a slider 1/2 afterwards? It follows the music better I suppose.
00:18:764 (1) - Hmm the note appears fast after a spinner...I suggest removing the spinner and mapping to the vocals as an alternative. It's up to you.
00:19:124 (1) - Remove the NC. I don't see any reason why you need to NC quickly.
00:29:543 (1) - Perhaps something like this? [img]puu.sh/7bBY[/img] The current slider goes right over the downbeat which plays awkward for me.
00:32:417 (1) - Spinner seemed rather random to me, especially when there is potential stuff to map to. Perhaps you could rethink this spinner?
00:55:231 (1,2,3) - D: I think this might be too difficult. Perhaps replace it with repeating slider? Up to you. Also Add whistle on 1,2,3 and remove whistle on 1 and add finish instead? You can hear finish on 1 in the music. The whistles on 1,2,3 will emphasize the build up to chorus.
01:02:597 (2) - I think it follows the vocals better if you move this to 01:02:417.
01:02:956 (3) - ^ But move it to 01:02:776 and extend it by 1/2
01:08:346 (2) - Move it to 01:08:165?
01:08:704 (3) - Move it to 01:08:525 and extend by 1/2?
01:14:094 (2,3) - Err same note about these two.
Hmm seeing as the end is pretty much copy paste, perhaps you could follow the same suggestions as I said earlier? like 01:24:693 (1,2) - being too hard/removing whistles?
Hard:
AR3 -> AR8 ._. Perhaps lower to AR7 at least? So jump isn't that high?
There's like almost whistle hitsound for all the notes on the chorus, which makes it lose its meaning. Perhaps reducing some whistle usage could help.
00:50:022 (6) - While the change in SV isn't drastic, I'm not entirely sure why you used a slowdown here. 1x feels alright since she's just holding a note.
00:55:231 (1,2,3,1) - Add whistle on 1,2,3 and remove whistle on 1 and add finish instead? You can hear finish on 1 in the music. The whistles on 1,2,3 will emphasize the build up to chorus.
01:29:722 (4,5) - Hahahaha I was actually hoping for a whistle here since DJPop did that and then claps happened. Maybe remove claps and add whistle?
Taiko:
Oh hi Ozzy. Oh wait it's a taiko. Bye Ozzy.
trolololol Btw I have arien for you \:D/
Insane:
Oh my god the whistles.... D: The chorus is my sanctuary since it has no whistles and only claps.
00:21:459 (3) - I think starting this slider at 00:21:639 and shortening it by 1/2 would be better. The current slider sounds weird to me since it didn't follow anything in the beginning.
00:33:495 (4) - This slider felt very awkward. I think the slider would be a lot better if placed at 00:33:315. Remove one repeat and extend it by 1/2. Then add a note on 00:34:213.
Well I guess that's it. If any part is confusing just call me and I'll explain.
