GeneralI’d suggest using another hitsound (whistle) to map guitar or vocal hitsounds, the lower diffs often go long periods with no hitsounds as the drums aren’t priority.
There should also be a hitsound to map low drum kicks on downbeats, just a snare isn’t really enough
Spread from Hard to insane is probably too large:
- There is no spacing emphasis used in hard, insane has a lot
- Spacing jump is really high, from 1.1x to long sections of 2.0x
- I’d suggest to add some spacing changes to hard, increase distance to 1.4/1.5x on important sounds to add emphasis. This should make hard more interesting to play, and improve spread to insane.
02:39:726 (1) - Reduce volume on spinner end + end it on white tick, as there is a clearer sound there.
The opening 2 seconds should be mapped on Insane, serves as a better lead-in. (probably hard too)
01:48:272 (1) - Hitsounds are a bit lacking around here, there’s drums and stuff to follow
01:01:702 (1) - 02:12:865 (1) - add finish
Easy00:28:388 (2,1) - While 1.5/1 rhythm is odd for easy, it fits and you’re fairly consistent with it. Move the slider body away from 00:29:609 (1) - so that it’s clearer this is 1.5/1, similar to 00:17:226 (2,1) - .
00:54:900 (1,3) - Stack these so it looks a little nicer
01:00:482 (4) - Don’t use reverse slider here, there are sounds around 01:01:702 (5) - that could use emphasis
01:18:621 (3) - This slider doesn’t match visual style of rest of the map, I’d suggest changing the previous section a bit to avoid this shape
01:24:202 (3) - Make this slider shape a bit easier to follow for new players, decrease how much the slider body overlaps at where I'm pointing
https://puu.sh/xJOUz/9a22166fba.png01:27:168 (6) - good use of breaks for easy :thumbsup:
01:28:388 (1,3,5) - These three straight 1/1 sliders are a bit repetitive, as the rest of the map uses many curves/changes to keep sliders interesting. There’s lots of space, so try using different patterns
(01:29:784 (3,5) - also these aren’t parallel which will trigger some, but that’s probably going to change anyway)
01:31:179 (5) - Rhythm can be more interesting as there’s a strong part here. Instead of using another 2/1 slider, try this:
https://puu.sh/xJPmW/fbc1aeded7.png - Circles are better emphasis and reverse slider follows vocals better.
01:40:598 (2) - The finish sound at 01:40:772 (3) - isn’t mapped here, but is done in the rest of this section. Change your rhythm so it’s similar to the rest. Either using repeat slider or 1.5/1 gap to map
01:50:714 (1) - Map the section before this and remove the spinner here for a break, better to have a long break and map important sections. Same for Normal
02:00:482 (1) - Map this, quite odd not to.
https://puu.sh/xJPMt/42279a7661.png this works for easy
02:11:644 (4) - 02:14:435 (1) - 02:31:179 (1,2) - These long sliders ignore many important sounds, same things as previous kiai.
Normal00:01:877 (1,3) - Blanket like this looks pretty strange, decrease how much 00:03:098 (3) - curves.
00:09:377 (4) - Rhythm doesn’t really follow song, there’s unmapped guitar on the tick before, and there’s the strong synth + snare on 00:09:900 (5) - . Currently, slider lands on fairly weak beats. This should work better
https://puu.sh/xJQ8C/ad82743e88.png00:16:528 (2,3,4) - Fix visual spacing on triangle
00:19:319 (2,3) - This is a bit complicated for a normal, just use a 1/2 reverse slider
00:20:714 (2,3) - Rhythm misses some important sounds, use just a 1/1 on 00:20:714 (2) - instead
00:35:365 (1) - These sliders are a bit too curved, doesn’t fit with visual style + blankets are really off because of it
00:43:737 (1,2) - Fairly unexpected 1.5/1 rhythm, would just change to 1/1 for simplicity
00:49:842 (1) - Map this section after the spinner, bit undermapped for a normal + better spread to hard.
01:06:761 (2,3,4) - Swapping between 1.5/1, 1/2, 1/1 rhythm, and hearing 3/4 in the background is too many changes for a normal.
https://puu.sh/xJQuf/c581f43dc2.png This should be simpler to follow
01:10:249 (1) - 01:44:261 (1) - 02:21:412 (1) - Remove NC, doesn’t match other NC patterns
01:24:202 (1) - Remove NC, add 01:25:598 (4) - just to stick with downbeats.
02:14:435 (1) - Is inconsistent with how 01:03:272 (6,1) - is mapped
Previous kiai stuff applies here
Hard00:06:935 (1,2,1) - This overlap is a little messy, try to change it so the reverse slider tail is the only thing on 00:07:458 (1) - , similar to 00:12:691 (2,1) -
00:10:075 (3) - 00:37:633 (4,5) - Move this further away to accommodate for the stack moving objects, bit too close right now
00:18:098 (2,1) - Decrease stack leniency in song setup, 1/1s with circles are stacked, but 1/1s with sliders aren’t.
00:21:412 (1,2,3) - Manually stack these by moving 2,3 down/right by 5 pixels each, this avoids weird overlaps caused by stacks
00:30:482 (4) - This can be changed to a 1/2 slider + circle to map the violin, unique sound worth following.
00:49:319 (1,2,1,2) - Hitsounds and NCs are fairly overdone here, there’s no snare to follow.
00:51:237 (1,1) - Using reverse sliders with different amount of repeats is hard to read, try changing 00:51:237 (1) - to a triple to simplify this.
01:02:575 (4,5,6) - These are way too close to each other, don’t rely on distance snap for everything. Ctrl-g 01:02:575 (4) - , then use the distance snap from that to find how far away 5 should be.
01:06:761 (2) - This is 3/4, not 1/3. (you did it correctly on the other chorus lol)
01:39:900 (2) - There are too many sliders with sharp red anchors here, use more curves to keep consistent aesthetic.
02:00:482 (1,2,3) - This is the only place with spacing variation, this needs to be consistent with the rest of distance spacing.
InsaneLooks good
00:10:772 (2) - Wouldn’t use the whistle here since it’s too unique, doesn’t really fit the rest of the song
00:40:772 (7,1) - Unmapped drum, and stacking 1/4 and 1/2 is borderline unreadable anyway
00:56:819 (7) - This slider would look cleaner if you added another point to curve the second half
https://puu.sh/xJUSv/72f603cafd.png01:32:400 (1) - This can use a more interesting slider shape for a strong sound, could also be changed to 1/1 to emphasis vocal
02:00:482 (1) - These could have spacing increased, especially on the next 3 since they’re stronger sounds
Set seems pretty good, especially for a new mapper. It could use a couple more mods, but I think you have potential. Good luck on ranking!
one of these things is the flow, flow feels awkward in some parts and you also use sliders that doesn't match with song, making it weird to play, but rather of that, mapping is really cool
