A well deserved M4M from my queue.

Genesis

00:22:578 - 00:24:032 - 00:25:487 - I feel like streams in these parts should gradually increase in ds, even if they are doing so now it's unnoticable and I feel like this deserves a bigger emphasis.
00:47:305 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - Why are they stacked? I know that they express the same idea but it's still unexpected and might come off awkward to play considering that the triples in the entire section were spaced, not condensed
00:51:668 (3,4,5) - all three should be spaced equally, the sounds in the background don't play such role and you might as well ignore them at this point, in my opinion
00:52:032 (5,6) - this gap is too small however, it looks like a series of spaced jumps with gradually increasing ds, yet this one occurs 1/2th of a beat later so it might cause unexpected combobreaks. I suggest you either stack that on (5), or move it further away to the left
01:02:941 (1,1) - they should be touching since that's a trend you've established in the previous pattern (01:02:578 (1,1) - ) so you might as well continue doing that
01:25:850 (6) - two 1/1 sliders would fit in a little better in my opinion, I feel like the slider repeating four times is a little too much
01:27:305 - I like how your consistency throughout the jumps transitions from kiai to no kiai in such a way, good job on that
01:47:305 (5) - ctrl+g and rotate it clockwise a little? I feel like it would flow a bit better
01:50:214 (5,6) - I know that these are two separate sounds but imo you should keep the established gimmicks as you've previously had them so I'd say you should replace it with a 1/2 slider
02:02:214 - this is weird. This section feels a lot calmer than the previous one yet the sliders are faster. Why is that? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
02:13:941 - put a spinner here, delete 02:14:032 (1) - and start the new pattern here 02:15:305 - , you are trying to follow two separate things at once in this moment which isn't really too healthy for the map when they contradict each other
02:15:396 (2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - this section can stay the same, but 02:16:759 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - this should be gradually increasing in ds since the bgm is getting more intense too
02:26:941 (1) - this one is less contradictory but I still think that the previous one needs a little rhythm change even if you're going to keep the slider
03:00:578 (3,4,5) - again, the stacked triples shouldn't be in this map at all imo, you've used it three times in a course of three minutes at this point so I suggest you give it up entirely
03:02:578 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - increase the spacing there, I feel like this could be misleading, or simply stack them, that could be a cool idea to use stacking there!
03:11:305 (1,2,3) - comparing that to the previous triples, they are definitely overmapped.... or maybe it's the previous ones that need a buff
03:25:123 (5) - this is wayyyy too slow in my opinion, you should at least make it a 0,6x sv slider
03:38:214 (1,2,3) - these ones are higher pitched than the previous patterns like this one, I suggest you boost the spacing here
04:02:941 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - without a distinguishable change in sv I don't believe that all these sliders deserve a nc on them
04:13:123 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - this should be a little less spaced since it's distinguishably less intense than the previous stream, yet it somehow is spaced equally
04:21:123 (1,2,3,4,1) - increase ds? I mean you've used some balls to the walls jumps before so you might as well increase these too
04:53:851 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - oh boy that is a definite buff in ds there, it's just wayyyyy too high pitched for you to completely ignore
05:02:578 - mute the end of the slider, or perhaps make it slowly lose volume as it moves towards the end of the map? 04:58:941 - this could be appropriate moment to start the fade in sound imo

all from me, good luck!

00:47:305 (3,4,5,6,7,8) - Why are they stacked? I know that they express the same idea but it's still unexpected and might come off awkward to play considering that the triples in the entire section were spaced, not condensed not changing now, but considering
00:51:668 (3,4,5) - all three should be spaced equally, the sounds in the background don't play such role and you might as well ignore them at this point, in my opinion fuck i meant to change this thanks
00:52:032 (5,6) - this gap is too small however, it looks like a series of spaced jumps with gradually increasing ds, yet this one occurs 1/2th of a beat later so it might cause unexpected combobreaks. I suggest you either stack that on (5), or move it further away to the left ye fixed
01:02:941 (1,1) - they should be touching since that's a trend you've established in the previous pattern (01:02:578 (1,1) - ) so you might as well continue doing that nah i have the distances between each slider end and the next head equal as it is
01:25:850 (6) - two 1/1 sliders would fit in a little better in my opinion, I feel like the slider repeating four times is a little too much hmm...
i dont know. there isnt a specific reason i dont want 2 1/1 sliders, but i just like this as one longer slider more

01:27:305 - I like how your consistency throughout the jumps transitions from kiai to no kiai in such a way, good job on that thanks! this is the calm part so big jumps wouldnt make lots of sense
01:47:305 (5) - ctrl+g and rotate it clockwise a little? I feel like it would flow a bit better mm... idk i dont like that as much
01:50:214 (5,6) - I know that these are two separate sounds but imo you should keep the established gimmicks as you've previously had them so I'd say you should replace it with a 1/2 slider nah i want to emphasize the new sounds. maybe ill get more opinions on this though, ty
02:02:214 - this is weird. This section feels a lot calmer than the previous one yet the sliders are faster. Why is that? Shouldn't it be the opposite? fixed SV to 0.5 thx
02:13:941 - put a spinner here, delete 02:14:032 (1) - and start the new pattern here 02:15:305 - , you are trying to follow two separate things at once in this moment which isn't really too healthy for the map when they contradict each other doone and done
02:15:396 (2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - this section can stay the same, but 02:16:759 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - this should be gradually increasing in ds since the bgm is getting more intense too will probably do that ye
02:26:941 (1) - this one is less contradictory but I still think that the previous one needs a little rhythm change even if you're going to keep the slider
03:00:578 (3,4,5) - again, the stacked triples shouldn't be in this map at all imo, you've used it three times in a course of three minutes at this point so I suggest you give it up entirely maybe other spots, but since this one isnt surrounded by spaced triples i think it works
03:02:578 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - increase the spacing there, I feel like this could be misleading, or simply stack them, that could be a cool idea to use stacking there! learn2readscrubs xd (in all seriousness though, i'll get more opinions before i change these
03:11:305 (1,2,3) - comparing that to the previous triples, they are definitely overmapped.... or maybe it's the previous ones that need a buff
03:25:123 (5) - this is wayyyy too slow in my opinion, you should at least make it a 0,6x sv slider mm maybe no. i like the slow slider and it fits, its a whole measure of almost no sounds, so this slider deserves to be the slowest in the map. i'll put a warning like fort did in his ooi map though
03:38:214 (1,2,3) - these ones are higher pitched than the previous patterns like this one, I suggest you boost the spacing here
u right
04:02:941 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - without a distinguishable change in sv I don't believe that all these sliders deserve a nc on them NC because the only 1/3 in the map
04:13:123 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - this should be a little less spaced since it's distinguishably less intense than the previous stream, yet it somehow is spaced equally done and done
04:21:123 (1,2,3,4,1) - increase ds? I mean you've used some balls to the walls jumps before so you might as well increase these too i like the way you think. INCREASED
04:53:851 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - oh boy that is a definite buff in ds there, it's just wayyyyy too high pitched for you to completely ignore i think i did it
05:02:578 - mute the end of the slider, or perhaps make it slowly lose volume as it moves towards the end of the map? 04:58:941 - this could be appropriate moment to start the fade in sound imo good idea

all from me, good luck!
thanks also i jsut realized i havent hitsounded any of the map fuck

Hi! from my queue

dude nice tags lol

I think the offset should be around 20, but i'm not sure since my computer likes to fuck up with timing \:D/
00:21:107 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - This stream shouldn't be equal to the previous ones, since there are different sounds in the song. Idk if i explained it well, but i think it should stand out more
00:26:198 (1,2,3,4) - These are overmapped, should be 1/4, however if you wanna build up the tension with the rhythm, you could use 1/4 for the first two slider and 1/8 for the other two
00:56:759 (3) - Kinda ugly imo, something like this would fit better i think
01:02:578 (1,1,1) - silence slider tails, it sounds better and it will still be rankable
01:13:850 (1,1) - bad overlap
01:38:941 - from here it would be nice to gradually lower the volume until you reach around 35%
02:08:032 - and here it's too low, up until the next kiai section
03:25:123 (5) - NC to indicate the drastic sv change
03:52:759 (1) - dudenice
03:55:850 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Meh, I don't really like how it plays, you could change it so that there are sharp angles on (3) and (7) only, because that's where it's stronger
03:57:487 (1,2,3,4) - Make it more circular?
03:58:123 (4) - Overmapped, only (3) needs to be a 1/8 slider (listen at 25% speed)
04:04:032 (2) - Same concept as before, make it 1/8 (also because 1/6 is wrongly snapped)
04:30:032 - Skipping a beat here, make it a back and forth jump like 04:30:214 (2,3) -
04:35:850 - Same
04:47:668 (1) - Adjust it a little, blanket and overlap with 04:48:032 (1) -
04:48:578 (1) - Make the first part more curved for a better look

And that's all! Very clean diff, you surely deserve a star ~★
Good luck!

01:38:941 - from here it would be nice to gradually lower the volume until you reach around 35%
02:08:032 - and here it's too low, up until the next kiai section did a ton of volume rework, should be better now

03:58:123 (4) - Overmapped, only (3) needs to be a 1/8 slider (listen at 25% speed) good ear
04:04:032 (2) - Same concept as before, make it 1/8 (also because 1/6 is wrongly snapped) ive listened to it many times, i just cant hear the 1/8. 1/6 is much more accurate
04:30:032 - Skipping a beat here, make it a back and forth jump like 04:30:214 (2,3) - hmm im kinda following only the synth at this part,
and theres no synth where youre talking about. might get more opinions tho

04:35:850 - Same same
04:47:668 (1) - Adjust it a little, blanket and overlap with 04:48:032 (1) - idk i rlly like where it is tbh
04:48:578 (1) - Make the first part more curved for a better look made each side equally curved

And that's all! Very clean diff, you surely deserve a star ~★ yay!
Good luck!
ty for the mod, sorry for late response. i didnt even see the notification that you modded lol

Saying hi from m4m queue ^^

OPRATIONS EVORURURURTIONS!!
Timing
first of all, timing should be around 10 milliseconds not 30. (I know this is mentioned before but it sounds waaay off in my opinion)
playtesting gave this (I'm using 0 as global offset)

offset +8ms turned out to be just right for me

Points
00:54:578 (1) - my eyes hurt
01:04:214 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - nothing to really emphasize a gradual increase in spacing for the triples.
01:12:010 (1,2) - ctrl+g? change in tone makes for interesting gameplay
00:24:010 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - example
00:42:737 (2,3) - looks bad, fix blanket to 00:42:556 (1) - or ignore and copy
01:27:283 (1,2,1,2,1,2,3) - these do not equal 01:20:010 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - these, I'd remove nc for forementioned.
01:28:396 (3,1) - stack to not confuse distance with 1/2 possibly, preferably make 1/2 and 1/1 difference greater
01:38:917 - no sound?
01:39:280 - kick is ignored as the slider above doesn't emphasize anything.
01:40:371 (3) - start here 01:40:735 - end here, doesn't really change anything playwise and fits better
01:50:374 (8,1) - for such an abrupt sv change do something that the player will know is off otherwise they may move too fast and sliderbreak. Rotate
01:50:556 (1,2,3,4,5) - -90 degrees around selection and place accordingly (simple fix)
01:56:396 (5) - this plays weird, possibly ctrl+g
02:13:826 (1) - move spinnerstart here and remove hitcircles 02:13:826 (1) - end here
such a small time difference from spinnerend isn't approved, I don't know the exact criteria but difference needs to be bigger than 1/4th I believe.
02:15:283 (1) - I would for sure think I got a keypress wrong if sound is muted, consider using a different kicksound instead. Though I like the looks and play of this entire stream-part
02:32:192 (2,3,4) - ctrl+g? way too comfortable movement for long break after and sound should emphasize a longer jump
03:13:462 - same as forementioned, no sound
03:19:283 (1,2) - ctrl+g
03:19:644 (3) - remove slider and insert hitcircle on sliderstart
03:19:826 (1) - create and stack on 03:20:192 (3) -
03:20:010 (2) - move to x:372 y:196
03:22:009 (4) - stack on 03:21:646 (2) -
03:39:283 (4,5) - at least ctrl+g to make reading time distance a bit easier to read
03:46:556 (3) - blanket this around 03:46:192 (1) - instead, doesn't look good in current state
03:50:919 (4,5,6,7) - as jumps progress one side will gain x amounts of rotation, instead rotate each object individually or rotate all in group of two's
The diffspike is huge, consider toning down the difficulty from here 03:57:101 (1) - as it's basically back to the same sound as 03:54:465 (2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) -
03:57:828 (1,2,3,4,5) - I don't know what to feel about this, I would probably mash through the slider but it doesn't look good, as this part probably needs to be re-done I'd recommend inserting a reverse slider instead for the triplet.
04:02:919 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - really hard, I'd give them all a funky look to differentiate from being similar looking, angle at least first objects toward next to make 1/4th gap more apparent
04:15:283 (1,2,3,4,5) - higher spacing or straighten stream to make the distance feel longer/stream faster
04:25:919 (9,10,11,1) - I'd turn this into a triple and ignore the drum sound at (9) since you wanna emphasize the synth anyways.
04:55:283 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - even worse than earlier, shorten spacing and make them overlap otherwise it'll be really hard to understand that it's 1/3 and extremely hard to hit them all

General
In my opinion there's an excess of NC's especially for jumps. Streams are fine since they emphasize a change in tone as well as stream direction but I don't believe there is enough change to support new combo's as often as they are placed. This is a question of playability aswell since obviously things might start looking ugly if nc's are used less than it should. I'll give some examples below. Many are similar but you get the point.
00:41:123 (1) -
00:42:578 (1) -
00:44:032 (1) -
00:45:305 (2,1,2,1,2,1,2) -
00:46:941 (1) -
00:49:759 (4,1,2,1,2,1,2) -
04:21:850 (1,2,3,4) -

Told you what I could find, it plays rather well already though visuals could be improved some. I can't really tell if it's missing more structure in placement as some objects feels very freely placed and don't belong in the right place kind of. Good luck with the map! ^^

playtesting gave this (I'm using 0 as global offset) u right, changed to 10

offset +8ms turned out to be just right for me

Points
00:54:578 (1) - my eyes hurt did my best to fix
01:04:214 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - nothing to really emphasize a gradual increase in spacing for the triples. not changing. this set of triples is only 2 instead of the last one which was like 4, different stuff is happening so instead of increasing difficulty on technical skill i want players to focus on standard jumping skill
01:12:010 (1,2) - ctrl+g? change in tone makes for interesting gameplay no this kills flow
00:24:010 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - example changed
00:42:737 (2,3) - looks bad, fix blanket to 00:42:556 (1) - or ignore and copy i think its fine
01:27:283 (1,2,1,2,1,2,3) - these do not equal 01:20:010 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - these, I'd remove nc for forementioned. eh they are fine imo.
the first example is in a part of the song where synth is really the only sound you can hear, so i based NC's off of it. The second part the drums kick in and synth is no longer the leading sound so i lower my use of NC's because i am no longer focusing on synth. Also the NC's in the first example make it look nicer lol

01:28:396 (3,1) - stack to not confuse distance with 1/2 possibly, preferably make 1/2 and 1/1 difference greater from testplays i got i havent had any complaint on it so its fine for now
01:38:917 - no sound? nothing worth mapping
01:39:280 - kick is ignored as the slider above doesn't emphasize anything. wat
01:40:371 (3) - start here 01:40:735 - end here, doesn't really change anything playwise and fits better nah sounds weird imo
01:50:374 (8,1) - for such an abrupt sv change do something that the player will know is off otherwise they may move too fast and sliderbreak. Rotate
01:50:556 (1,2,3,4,5) - -90 degrees around selection and place accordingly (simple fix) i dont think i did it exactly how you explained it but i like it better now so thx
01:56:396 (5) - this plays weird, possibly ctrl+g nah
02:13:826 (1) - move spinnerstart here and remove hitcircles 02:13:826 (1) - end here
such a small time difference from spinnerend isn't approved, I don't know the exact criteria but difference needs to be bigger than 1/4th I believe. i want spinner to start where it is, cuz the intense hold sound doesnt start until then. and look at the first spinner of https://osu.ppy.sh/b/412288. higher bpm and also 1/4 distance. although it may be unrankable now idk
02:15:283 (1) - I would for sure think I got a keypress wrong if sound is muted, consider using a different kicksound instead. Though I like the looks and play of this entire stream-part fixed
02:32:192 (2,3,4) - ctrl+g? way too comfortable movement for long break after and sound should emphasize a longer jump fix
03:13:462 - same as forementioned, no sound fix
03:19:283 (1,2) - ctrl+g nah, keeping movement easy and jump-less for this calm section
03:19:644 (3) - remove slider and insert hitcircle on sliderstart
03:19:826 (1) - create and stack on 03:20:192 (3) -
03:20:010 (2) - move to x:372 y:196 i think the whole section is fine how it is
03:22:009 (4) - stack on 03:21:646 (2) - i dont know, i cant decide which i like more, considering this tho
03:39:283 (4,5) - at least ctrl+g to make reading time distance a bit easier to read kinda fixed it
03:46:556 (3) - blanket this around 03:46:192 (1) - instead, doesn't look good in current state it looks beautiful how it is uwu
03:50:919 (4,5,6,7) - as jumps progress one side will gain x amounts of rotation, instead rotate each object individually or rotate all in group of two's i did do groups of 2's and increased spacing, i think its good how it is
The diffspike is huge, consider toning down the difficulty from here 03:57:101 (1) - as it's basically back to the same sound as 03:54:465 (2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - no its way more intense imo
03:57:828 (1,2,3,4,5) - I don't know what to feel about this, I would probably mash through the slider but it doesn't look good, as this part probably needs to be re-done I'd recommend inserting a reverse slider instead for the triplet. i'll get more opinions on this
04:02:919 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - really hard, I'd give them all a funky look to differentiate from being similar looking, angle at least first objects toward next to make 1/4th gap more apparent no funky look required, thats what NC's are for
04:15:283 (1,2,3,4,5) - higher spacing or straighten stream to make the distance feel longer/stream faster increased
04:25:919 (9,10,11,1) - I'd turn this into a triple and ignore the drum sound at (9) since you wanna emphasize the synth anyways. it just sounds so empty if i removed 9
04:55:283 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - even worse than earlier, shorten spacing and make them overlap otherwise it'll be really hard to understand that it's 1/3 and extremely hard to hit them all you underestimate NC's my friend

General
In my opinion there's an excess of NC's especially for jumps. Streams are fine since they emphasize a change in tone as well as stream direction but I don't believe there is enough change to support new combo's as often as they are placed. This is a question of playability aswell since obviously things might start looking ugly if nc's are used less than it should. I'll give some examples below. Many are similar but you get the point.

there is a pattern and reason behind all of those NC's but i wont get into it now
Told you what I could find, it plays rather well already though visuals could be improved some. I can't really tell if it's missing more structure in placement as some objects feels very freely placed and don't belong in the right place kind of. Good luck with the map! ^^
thank you for the mod! mine's coming very soon, sorry for the delay
