[Normal]

1. 00:57:719 (1,2,1) - In this place, I don't really agree with the placement of those circles, cause it makes a triple stack that can be misunderstood by the player, since it's new to him. Since those beats are strong, it would have been better to have them spaced instead of stacked, or at least having this slider: 00:58:657 (1) - moved. (If you apply it here, don't forget to do same for this one: 01:59:594 (1,2,1) - / 02:44:594 (1,2,1) - ) Instead decided to get rid of the circles altogether. This'll also give the player more recovery time.
   
2. 01:16:000 (5,6) - This might be too hard for a new player this is the only times you see it in the song, two circles next to them can be misread, especially when they have a small gap like this, why not making this 01:15:532 (4) - as a reversed slider instead? So it would look more friendly towards beginners. (Same thing for here 02:17:407 (4,5,6) - / 02:58:657 (4,5,6) - but if you want, you can add diversity in your patterns) This part is supposed to be pretty challenging, as it is the peak of the song; having some of the vocals be glossed over with a repeat wouldn't get that idea across as well.
   
3. 01:16:469 - to 01:17:407 (1) - I feel this is pretty undermapped compared to the rest of the kiai, especially cause the part I timestamped is still in the kiai. Having a spinner here is making the map less representative of the song, cause it's avoiding a lot of important beat that could have been mapped. I noticed that you mapped the vocals here, so if you're focused on the vocals, you should map this too: 01:16:703 - (Same thingy here: 02:18:813 (7,1) - ) Done
   
4. 01:49:282 (3) - Having the slider going back on the previous slider isn't making the thing easier for the new player, it can confuse the player, and also, it's making the flow less fluid on this part. In my opinion, it should be moved elsewhere, cause there is no real reason in the sound to doing a step backwards, you see... Agree, done.
   
5. 03:05:688 (2,3,4) - Make the slider "1" in the same way as "3" for consistancy, like this, so it will be enhancing your pattern, since it will be more emphasized with the song. Done
   
6. 03:45:532 (1) - Why you mapped the first beat of the bell, and not the rest? I guess that's important to finish something you have started. Yeah, I put a circle there because I want to end the map on a downbeat.

In this diff, I think that the kiai are quite of similar. I agree that the beats are usually the same, but I think that using more reverse slider or more circle would make the thing less repetitive. It's fine because the song itself is very similar, so the map is similar as a result.

[Hard]

1. 00:11:782 (1,2,3,4) - This is more intense in terms of rhythm here, having 5 circles in line on a opening part that is "calm" is quite high for a normal. I would have think about something less intense, like 3 circles → 1 1/2 slider, so it would add more impact on this beat: 00:12:719 (5) - that is quite strong. I like this because it gives it contrast from the pattern without any drums at 00:04:282 (1,2,3,4) - , and the jumps aren't even that strong in comparison to the kiai parts.
   
2. 01:07:563 (2,3,1,2,1,2) - In my opinion, this part doesn't flow well, you made something too sharp for this kind of diff. It makes the player doing a rollback on each NC, and it's not confortable. The flow you've been using here: 01:00:063 (2,3,1,2,1,2) - is better since it's using a triangular flow, so it's more fluid. In summary, I think you should rework the flow of this pattern a bit, to make it fluid. I agree, changed it (it'll also become more consistent with the other patterns in the kiai.
   
3. 01:40:610 - You're missing a strong beat here. Moreover, since you're focused on vocals, it's important to map it. Done
   
4. 02:09:438 (2,3,1,2) - This beat is not using the same flow as the previous one. This is the only part on all the similar pattern you used on the Hard where the flow isn't something with triangular movement. This is something pretty linear here, so I suggest you to remove it for consistancy, and also to be more representative of the song. I think this is fine. It represents the song well because 02:09:907 (1) - is on a strong beat, and I use similar movement in many other places as well.
   
5. 02:37:094 (2,3,1,2,1,2) - In my opinion, that would have been better to space the circle from the slider a bit more on each beats since the intensity is getting higher on each time. Yeah this is nice, done.
   
6. 03:21:625 (1,2) - The jump here is pretty high, even if the sound is strong, I don't think it can be good to play for a usually Hard players. Try to reduce the distance here. Reduced the spacing a bit.
7. For the end, it's same as the Normal diffs about the bells I put a spinner there as part of someone elses mod, so fixed I guess..

Good luck for your map! Merry Christmas to you!

Hello M4M from my queue~

Normal

1. 00:34:282 (1,2) - these could be made to blanket each other Improved the blanket
2. 00:45:532 (1,2) - fix blanket Done
3. 02:41:313 (3) - would be better to have the sound under this sliderend clickable instead I want to keep this part at relatively low intensity for the sake of newcomers. Rhythm-wise, it would be better to have the sound be clickable. But because I'd have to do an awkward slider/circle combo, or a series of 4-5 circles, it would be better to keep it like this.
4. 03:42:719 (2,3) - tune it so that the visual distance is the same (probably what you wanted anyways) similarly to for example 03:17:407 (1,2) - Done

Hard

1. 00:32:407 (1,2) - similar to what I last said in Normal Done
2. 00:34:985 (3,1) - probably not noticeable while playing but still overlap which you most of the time avoid Done
3. 00:51:157 (1,2) - fix blanket Done
4. 01:40:844 (3,1) - same here. Actually to do that lower the curve of 01:41:782 (1) - little, it's too strong atm for the blanket Lowered it a bit.
5. 02:34:282 (1,2,4) - fix stacks, seems off I'll keep this. The song here is quite different compared to the rest of the song, so my choice of patterns change as well.
6. 02:54:907 (1,2) - fix blanket Done
7. 03:42:836 (1) - not like it's really wrong tbh, but why use spinner here when you mapped it until the end in Normal (or alternatively, since it looks like Wonder has spinner too, why is Normal not spinnered? The difference isn't really massive or gamebreaking but it'd be nice touch on the consistency inside the mapset)It's for the fade out effect. Normal doesn't really need one because there's a very long slider in its place instead, which fulfils the same effect.

Wonder

1. 00:10:844 (5,6,1,2,3,4) - seems like vocal priority hmm? I don't see anything wrong with this. The vocals are emphasised by a change in angle rather than emphasis.
2. 00:38:032 (1,4) - fix stack (and also then fix the triple after) The triple looks completely fine. I clicked on one of notes and it snapped by like, 1 pixel. So maybe fixed?
3. 00:53:032 (1,2) - doesn't look good, there'd probably be better alternatives for this (same with the others that are the same later on before the latter kiais) I like how it looks.
4. 01:32:875 (3,4) - there have been things kinda like this but this is so clear it jumps on ya. So why is 01:33:109 (4) - with massively larger spacing than the ones before, especially 01:32:875 (3) - which actually has fairly strong sound on it. Vocals don't match either. More fitting would be smth like early on 00:30:766 (2,3,4) - The vocals do fit. Because they raise in pitch, I express this by raising the spacing. I like how it plays, and although it's the spacing is different compared to the one you linked, the concepts within the map evolve as you get further in. So some patterns might not be as simple or complex.
5. For the solo section, up to you but I think it would be recommendable to apply some streams instead of only using kicksliders. It doesn't feel very fitting. Something like beginning with kicksliders and when the intensity goes up with the pitch towards 02:41:782 (1) - you could use more and more streams instead of kicksliders for the build-up. I chose not to include streams at all in this map. Because of the low bpm, I think they would play tacky, so I chose to use kicksliders here instead. Streams would also be out of place, considering that the map is primarily jump orientated.

Overall pretty clean so not much to complain, just nitpicking on some stuff I guess.
Good luck!

NM from my........

....or maybe Kudosu shots from my queue.

Normal and Hard are mapped well, but Insane with these pp jumps is not my taste. I am not mapping like this so i don't have experience with that.

Hitsound are good enough, so i can only shoot some kudosu for you.

2 STARS

1. 01:54:203 (4) - There shouldn't be whistle on this slider's tail for consistency;
2. 02:32:407 (3) - Add clap on tail looks too empty after all the previous ones;
3. 02:33:344 (4) - Maybe add normal sampleset on this slider's tail to emphasize the drum in the music?
4. Just hitsounding, you applied everything on Normal when I first modded this and I am glad to see that, it improved a lot. Btw, being hitsounding do not forget to apply it to all diff if you agree!

1. 02:10:376 (1,2) - 1.22x spacing for consistency, it looked shorter to me indeed o.o;

1. 00:31:000 (3,4) - You didn't fix it up from my previous mod while you said fixed;
2. 00:46:469 (4,5) - Missing hitsounds on these two? There should be at least a clap on (4) head;
3. 01:01:469 (1) - Forgot clap on tail;
4. 01:03:344 (5,1) - I would make them horizontal with grid line to give them a better impact after the jump;
5. 03:01:938 (4) - What about to make a full stacked stream from here till the next slider's head? It would fill all the drums in the music. Even better if you added some normal sampleset on them!
6. 03:13:657 (1,2,1,2) - I found all the jumps awesome and cool but didn't like this one because it's the only jumping pattern that in the whole map doesn't have a variation of trajectory while all the other ones have some inclination between (2) and (1). I would highly chane this with something else if I was you to make it consistent with all other jumping patterns

I can see that each diff improved a lot after those first changes, especially Normal and Wonder. This makes me happy.
Call me back after fixes

00:38:735 (4) - disable stacking in the editor and you'll see 4 isn't stacked. this will look pretty broken in hard rock, so might wanna stack it properly

00:42:719 (2,4) - 00:46:469 (2,4) - 01:44:594 (2,4) - 01:48:344 (2,4) - drums went into half tempo, so clap and whistle positions should be switched around
02:31:938 (3) - and this may not need a clap. rest of the section has them on beats 1 and 3

normal
first thing on hard Done all

uhhhh i was looking to rank this, but normal as the lowest diff might not work lol. hard is bordering on insane with its spacing and normal is like an advanced with its kiai rhythm/spacing. if you get an easy i'd nominate, otherwise gl

Hi. Saw the new diff and want to help you get it ready before christmas, so here's a mod. No kudosu necessary since this is a continuation.

00:28:657 (3,1) – see how this is close? You could be symmetric at 00:30:532 (1,3) - and make it similarly that close http://puu.sh/yMyq4/8d6e3b5c1b.jpg Done

00:34:282 (1,2,3,1,2) – There's quite a few 2/1 breaks around here which feels weirdly calm. It's hard to desribe why, but after 00:38:969 (2) – the pause feels like it's stopping the map from doing stuff. I kind of like making this a (2) a 1/1 slider. You could also put a circle at 00:37:563 – since that would be a better place to fill in the rhythm. Same for similar sections at 01:36:157 (1,2,3,1,2) – etc. The 2/1 breaks exist because they 1) break the monotony of this part, 2) to keep the difficulty comparatively lower compared to the kiai and 3) because I feel the breaks fit here, since the vocals and main instruments would often take a pause.

01:15:532 (3,4) – this ½ rhythm is a bit more confusing than the rest of the difficulty. Consider using a ½ slider which plays itself, so it might be easier: http://puu.sh/yMyjI/8d4affb434.jpg. Also 02:17:407 (3,4) – etc.I wanted to make sure that the red ticks would be clickable, because these are easily the strongest notes in the map. As a result, they are also supposed to be the most difficult, so I think it is appropriate as it is.

01:02:407 (1,3) – These don't quite blanket as nice as it could, make (3) less curvy and it will match (1) a bit better. Done

03:11:313 (4) – Consider deleting so that there's a break in rhythm? Especially if you reject 00:34:282 (1,2,3,1,2) – because this is a big difference in the interpretation of the song and how to add rest. If so, be aware of 03:18:813 (4) - Yeah, I guess that would fit better. Done.

Good luck, and merry Christmas!

map is perfect besides that, so i can rebubble whenever
