hey, from my q
Good Luck!

- 00:06:242 (1) - The sound on the sliderend here stands out a lot, you're changing up the placement after the slider, but that doesn't really do this particular sound justice imo. Just making the slider two circles while keeping low spacing (or maybe stacking them since you did that with a similar synth sound at 00:09:945 (2) - ) would make it stand out nicely. The sudden rather large spacing change while keeping the same slider shape and direction could also throw players off otherwise.
- 00:12:908 (1,2) - similar situation, feels like the sounds on the sliderend and (2) should stand out a bit.
- 00:29:797 (1,2) - This seems very low spaced compared to all the other instances of this pattern, the difference in spacing from (1) to (2) and (2) to (3) is also very little as a result.
- 00:34:242 (1,2,3,4) - I think this group of sounds should stand out, for one the pitch rises a lot and it feels much stronger as a result, and also the synth melody gets really quiet on (3) to the point where it's barely audible, it feels special compared to 00:30:686 (1,2,3,4) - and the others. (this happens twice per kiai)
- 00:43:575 (3,4) - Why are these 1.0 spaced when they were 0.9 in the section past the intro where the music is basically identical? It's a noticeable visual change so it should be consistent imo. It also changes back to 0.9 later in this section, and then back to 1.0 even later at 01:25:797 (1,2) - , and I can't really see the reason behind it.
- 01:10:538 (1,2,3) - Maybe use ~2.0 DS since it's the same pitch as 01:08:760 (1,2,3,4) - ?
Really solid diff, almost only subjective stuff.

- 00:15:131 (1,2) - Why suddenly change up the rhythm here? Could just start doing it in the next pattern and it'd feel less random since it's seperated by a change in music
- 00:17:945 - I don't think you should skip over this
- 00:20:686 - same, the very low pitch also actually starts here rather than on 00:20:464 - , so starting the slider here would seem more fitting anyway. Both this and the previous one repeat in this section, the one after the kiai, and the one before the final kiai.
- 00:30:686 (1,2,3) - has identical pitch to 00:32:464 (1,2,1,2,1) - , but the patterns are different, and then when the pitch does change (and the song imo is more intense) at 00:34:242 (1,2) - you go back to the previous pattern. The pitch does change at the last group of notes for each pattern compared to the first two, you could do something with that as well (you did at 00:35:131 (1) - , but not before). Applies throughout this kiai and partially to the second one.
00:32:464 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - The pattern seems to assign equal importants to the white ticks as to the 2/3 ticks (the one the circles are on, idk how else to say it), which I don't hear in the song. - 00:39:575 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - ^
- 01:04:908 (3) - The sound on the sliderend stands out, making the slider shorter and making 01:05:205 part of the jump pattern seems like a better fit.
Hard
- 00:16:019 (1,2,1) - 00:24:464 (1,2,1) - 00:36:908 (1,2,1) - all of these and many others could be executed a little cleaner, being perfect triangles. In some cases it's more obvious than others, but they all seem to have been done freehand instead of with the rotation or create polygon tool.
Normal
- 00:26:242 (3,4,5) - This doesn't follow time-distance equality because of the stack, might be a problem.
- Also not sure if the amount of 1/3 gaps you have is ok for a normal, it might be too dense considering the RC says to use "mostly 1/1, occasional 1/2 rhythms" (for a 180 bpm map, 1/3 on this map is equivalent to ~200 bpm 1/2)
Easy
- 00:37:353 (3,4,1) - Muh perfect triangle. If it's because of spacing constraints you could just change the angle leading to (3) a bit. If you generally did this freehand might want to check through all diffs to see if it's obvious anywhere (other than the hard, where it's definitely obvious in a few places).
Good Luck!
