Backfire's mod reply
Thank you so much, you helped me a lot! I'll mod your map this week. Backfire wrote:

The weird OD's are ok in practice but look funny to me, I'd say simple .5x variants are better than doing it through a format.
Why is the top open on the background? I don't feel like there is any need for it, you can just like, use normal background. I forget the term for it lmao
✔ - Changed OD to 3.8 in Futsuu diff and 5.3 in Oni diff.
[Kantan]
00:46:459 - Kind of just personal preference but I like the d k d k difference, so changing this to d is better for me.
01:27:972 - ^
✔ - OK, all accepted.
Not much to talk about with this diff, it's simple and fine. Fits spread well, it seems.
[Futsuu]
I kind of dislike a lot about this diff but not in the way that is constructive, I just personally hate this pattern (kdd) so it's not worth it for me to talk about it.
In a lot of spots I felt like it could have followed melody more properly instead of forcing kkd and kdd diversity, but it's ok. This is not a bad thing, and I am not complaining, just telling you why I won't mod this diff since it's not constructive for me to do so. Though I will say this -> OD4 is better than the odd number OD you have.
✖ - I like kdd pattern and OD grows by arithmetic progression to make spread better so I don't want to change it.

00:50:675 - Moving this to 00:50:837 - matches the melody which you are mapping more properly
01:32:188 - Delete to match above?
✔ - Changed.
[Oni]
00:00:082 - 00:10:460 - I feel like this section is not properly matching the intensity of the music. It starts off too fast, too dense. I recommend completely restructuring with heavy 1/2 instead, to transition into 1/4 at the kiai. Plus it just sounds awkward, how there is missing sections that start off as k k.
✔ - Agree, I remaped this part.
[Inner Oni]
Same goes as oni, for the intro.
I'm not a big fan of the wiggly notes in the beginning, I feel like they aren't going all-in (not crazy enough), so they seem pointless. It's just for fluff, I understand, but I dunno if I like it like I said. The ones later in the map are crazy enough, but rank-ability seems weird imo, not something I am good for talking about.
✔ - Remaped intro and maked SV-changes less crazy.
This was a really terrible mod because I think with these simplistic songs, it's impossible to map it very badly, especially when you've had a lot of mods already and you came second in the contest anyway. Just get it ranked lol
