1. 00:20:712 (1) - the slider overlaps itself... err personally I don't recommend it, it's not very friendly to new players. – fixed
2. 01:07:522 - 01:09:452 - 01:11:382 - and etc - yeah, in second KIAI, you ignored some 1/2 drum rhythm, I suggest you follow it, because you followed it in the last calm part (e.g. 01:03:661 - ). To me, it's strange if the object density goes lower when it's KIAI. – I agree with this point. I like the 2/1 sliders too much to get rid of them, so instead I changed the prior section with the drums to not make the players expectations too high.
   
   
   Hard
3. 00:35:913 (1) - 01:18:380 (1) - 02:12:428 (1) - I hardly ever say the word remap to someone, but I won't support someone to do copy&paste so obviously. sorry but, remap or change those parts please. – okay
   
   
   Insane
4. 00:33:017 (3) - 00:45:082 (4) - maybe, do a symmetry of 00:33:500 (4) - ? cuz it looks better when combined with 00:33:983 (1,2) - – I like this curvature for flow reasons
5. 01:50:109 (3,4,5,6,7) - 01:52:160 (4,5,6,7) - a square would have better flow and look – Yes, but then it has less poignant spacing. This is one place where we disagree in mapping styles and play experiences, but I like creating small details like this that contrast the intensities of different notes in the music, and I prioritize this more than aesthetics.
6. 01:54:332 (5,6) - x44 y272 to do the same spacing? it would be neat – see above
7. 02:06:396 (7) - 02:17:978 (7) - do a square maybe? – see above

Good Luck – Thanks!

00:19:505 (5) - Put this slider on x:264 y:352; looks a bit more linear with the previous slider. – I think it currently is more linear.
00:20:712 (1) - I think you can replace the slider with the spinner in this diff, too. – Hmmm, the slider is trying to have an aesthetic appeal, changed the background to make that more obvious

Nice diff. –

[Insane]
01:35:271 (4) - I get your purpose here, but making the distance btwn the previous and next notes consistent might look better. – I think it looks good currently
01:44:196 (6) - I personally am not in favor of making a sudden change in distance like this... but I guess it would be good. – Not sure what change in distance you're refering to. I don't sense a problem currently, but if you can clarify your suggestion let me know.

Very nice diff and song. Actually, there is nothing much to be fixed by me. – Nice!
Good luck and take the star. – thanks for the mod!

1. 00:05:028 (1,2,3,4) - this pattern looks really chaotic for me lol. Like when I look more closefully I can understand how it works but its no okay I think. I suggest something like this https://i.imgur.com/cKkzFxW.jpg
2. 00:29:398 (5) - why its not stacked with 00:27:709 (6) - ? I think it should because now it looks pretty messy with this blanket slider 00:28:192 (1) -

1. 00:05:028 - I suggest to emphasize vocals here because now it is simmilar with the previous part w/o voice, Maybe 1/1 slider here 00:05:028 (1) -
2. 00:08:889 (1) - 00:09:854 (3) - you also can do 1/1 sliders here coz of strong slider and also it is boring to play 1/1 notes for so much time at the begining

00:17:092 (2,3,4) - these sliders do not look synergetic at all. try to rotate 2 so that it matches 3, 4 and 5 a bit better. http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/9711372 like that – I don't like the exact suggestion because I want (3) to have a bigger DS from (2). It's a hard to understand exactly what you mean by matching, but you're right, I can definitely polish this off. Made (1) a 90 degree rotation of (3), made (2) a 45 degree rotation of (1) which makes it a 135 rotation of (3), made (4) blanket (2), and made the visual spacing between (2,3,4) equal. If this still looks bad to you, tell me what about the above connections is lacking/wrong.

00:24:331 (1,5) - – made the blanket nicer by curving (1) more

00:26:261 (1) - it would be nice to map some of these other vocal wavers somehow. maybe not circles but a wiggle in the slider could represent it nicely.

like 00:26:261 (1) - this one clearly has so much going on lol – I'm conflicted. They play nicely and bring out a nice detail of the song, but it looks odd. Maybe if I had mapped more around that mechanic I could make it work, but right now I'm feeling as if the cleaner slider is safer and nicer. Still, I'm gonna test it out and try to find some feedback on it. --- I may have become a bit too habituated to the slider design, but I think some wiggles would be good

00:42:669 (3,4,1) - i feel like these 1/1 jumps are pretty uncomfortable, they could be smaller spacing and still not be hard to read cuz of how clear the song structure is. atm it's a total pain to hit them cuz of the precision needed – Yeah nerfed these. Hope you're not talking about moments like 01:00:524 (4) – because that's fully intentional and brings out some nice expression in an otherwise bland section.

01:40:095 (6,7) – parallel? – fixed

02:24:010 - circle before spinner? – agreed

other diffs look ok but yea the 1/1 things on insane are really uncomfortable. aside from that get like 2-3 other mods and i can recheck – awesome, gonna try to get more than that. Thanks for the mod, and I appreciate the help.

1. you used a lot of NC , i think it s unnecessary , like this part 00:24:331 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - you can delete 00:26:261 (1) - and 00:30:122 (1) - NC – The chorus is a bit more intense so I kind of like more NC's

5mb for four backgrounds? uhh, you should really convert these to jpg and compress them. This really shouldn't be taking more than a mb or two at most. If you need help with that just lemme know ovob – converted

Maybe set different combo colours for each difficulty? the main colors are fairly different in each background, so having a different set of combocolours per diff could better help them feel fitting and match well – I'm lazy. The current colors go fine with each background.

:'(
00:12:749 (1,3) - these are kinda unusually close compared to objects previous.. possibly arrange to where 3 is a bit higher in relation to 1? – fixed
00:20:712 (1) - it's cute this is meant to follow the tree, but what about a shape like this? http://puu.sh/yDUrO/8b61f5747d.jpg it still follows the background pretty accurately, and looks more like a tree than a triangle.. polygon.. thing. – you are amazing at modding, really really like this whole mod
01:29:961 (1,4) - 4 ends right under 1 but honestly the positioning for these is still a bit odd since you dont really do any similar overlaps throughout the difficulty and leads to this pattern feeling unusually.. cramped? – fixed
02:15:323 (2,3) - I dont see a particular reason this isnt stacked, unlike all previous repetitions of this rhythm where you did stack the objects. – doh, fixed

[Hard]
tbh the rabbit bg feels out of place compared to the others, like weirdly cartoony/flat – yeah I was tired and just wanted a bg. Found a nice one that fits the slider shape

00:20:712 (1) - also it leaves you without anything to make a cute slidershape to like in the lower two diffs? q_q – I moved it to later since I think a spinner fits nicer here.

neat diff
i especially like how 00:47:495 - this section had a lot of patterns wrapping back in on themselves, was nice.
though I feel like the angled slider shape got a bit repetitive, especially at times like 00:53:286 (5) - when the vocals do a really heavy vibrato, but the shape remains exactly the same. I think it'd be neat if you could differentiate these a bit by varying the shape, such as by adding curves. – I think your real concern is that this isn't following the vocals. It's following the drums, and as such I think the same slider shape does a good job of it. However, I'm starting to doubt myself on why I chose to map the drums instead of the vocals. --- However, different sliders play better, so changed

01:58:916 (1,2) – CUTE – glad you like it

[Insane]
00:20:712 (1) - i still think it'd be cuter if you could find a way to have a cute slidershape here too,, but that's just me – I agree, but I've run out of ideas and can't make an angel wing pattern work nicely.

00:47:495 - same thing as described in hard about the overly repetitive slidershape

Generally, I felt like Insane was a pretty big jump from hard :s I could do really well on hard, but struggled to pass insane.. idk, it's probably ok.. – I hope it's just you cuz I am way too lazy to make another difficulty.


Good luck ^^/ – thanks, and thanks for the mod!

Hello! NM from queue (Really don't have much to say about this map so no need to do M4M)
was a bit confused why ya have 2 diff of the same map but then I actually payed attention to the sliders...

Anyways I am modding the 1 with the wiggle sliders (its pretty fitting with the vocals c:) -- I do feel like some wiggles are nice

• 
  Wiggles
  
  just bringing up suggestions (minor at that) since this map looks pretty cool

1. 00:05:028 (1) - maybe bring the slider head down a slight bit for better flow here -- that doesn't seem like it would really fix the underlying issue you have with this pattern. I think it flows fine
2. 00:33:983 (1,2) - I wasn't gone bring this up but then I look at the 2nd kiai with this 01:16:449 (1,2) -
   1st 1 is more uncomfortable for the hand and whilst the 2nd one isn't as harsh since it an easier time to go from 01:15:967 (4) - to 01:16:449 (1) - which makes a bigger difference between the two despite the two parts of the song being no different from the each other -- There is an inconsistency, but I feel it's minor and does not detract from the play experience in the map.
3. 00:47:495 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - this whole entire section here feels repetitive clicking the same slider up until the point of the kiai and whilst telling from your mod from noffy - I do understand that you wish to follow the drum but it just still feel strange
   - Basically just saying that following noffy's suggestions about changing the slider shapes instead of sticking to the same 1 especially at times when the vocals should really be express would lighten up the section and less repetitive as it is now -- Yeah, I tested this out and is better with different shapes
4. 01:18:380 (1) - move the slider head more towards the right for slightly better flow here -- I don't truly understand why you're experiencing a bad flow, so I don't see how this addresses anything, and I don't think a minor change like this will actually make you like the pattern.
5. 01:42:027 (2) - maybe turn this into at least 1/2 slider or something express the vocal since it holds out until around here 01:42:388 - and its pretty loud compare to the others notes around here? -- That's what the big DS is for. A 1/2 slider would be too much of a difference to make it feel wierd
6. 02:10:498 (1,2) - since ya started using slider like this 01:58:916 (1,2) - maybe do the same for the rest of the slider around this this last kiai like that as well and not to be associated the more calmer kiai curve sliders here 00:33:983 (1) - ? -- addressed this by not having wiggles earlier at 01:58:916 (1,2) -

  Hard
  
  Looks pretty good but I do have to say you probably should increase the jumps on this difficulty since its too easy compare to how the insane jumps are pretty huge at times - other than that I wouldn't say you need to make a another difficulty -- I'd be worried about the spread from Normal to Hard if I did that, but yeah, maybe some specific jumps could be stronger

Ugh sucks having to rewrite a mod so a lot of my points were pretty summarize sorry since I lost my other mod for taking too long to write this

Btw - can ya used some color when responding to my mod atleast?
I couldn't even tell you were responding to those mods above at first and my eye sight is already bad man...

Pretty good mapset ya have here and GL on ranking this -- thanks for the mod!

1. 02:24:010 (1) - What about adding a Clap in this spinner? If you listen properly to the music, there is a similar sound, so I find it as a good option to do so. Give it a try c:
2. 01:33:822 ~ 01:48:782 - Timing in this section sounds a bit weird to me, especially in patterns like 01:35:753 (5,6,7) - and 01:43:473 (5,6,7) - in Insane. You can probably find a double check on it before to move this map on.
3. Tags: I'd add "xmas" in tags. A lot of maps are using it for easier searching.

1. 00:20:712 (1) - First of all, I think this slider should end in 00:23:607 . If you listen properly to the music, you can notice that vocals ends there, and it looks like you're following that because you started the slider in 00:20:712 - where vocals starts. In addition, this slider shape is not really neat for my eyes, you could try to make a symetric pattern taking as reference "y axis". I tried something like this, I'll give you a screenshot and a code in case you want to change that (that it's pretty necessary in my opinion). Btw, you can maybe find other shape, take that as an example but I'm giving you the code because you can like this shape.

2. 01:33:822 (1,2) - I personally think this pattern can look better if you try to play a bit more with slider curves and some blankets here and there. Actually both slider shape are tiny and they doesn't provide a good effect to make this kind of patterns. Take a look at the following screenshot (I'll leave a code as well in case you want to use my idea).

   Btw.. I moved (3) some grids down, that's why it'll be in this code.
3. 01:41:543 (1,2) - Basically the same as before, try making those curves a bit noticeable so you can make a neater pattern than now.
   
   Screenshot + Code

4. 01:46:369 (2,3) - Actually, the current pattern could work but due the slider shape in both sliders the movement of mouse (slider ends in (2) goes up and slider shape in (3) is a bit excessive) is not that clear as I expected. I think you can try something like this for finding a better flow.
5. 01:56:020 (4) - I personally think this Whistle at this slider end sounds a bit noisy for this calm section, in addition you didn't add them in some slider ends where the music was in a higher pitch (for example in the section from 00:51:355 - until 01:06:315 - ). So, my recomendation here is to remove this Whistle.

- I have to say, I liked this difficulty. In general, I dislike the usage of 1/2 patterns in Easy difficulties but you used it properly without abuse them without sense, in addition the BPM is not high and you worked fine with that. I focused my mod in aesthetical issues, because as for the rest I'm pretty happy with this map, great job!

1. 00:19:264 (5,6) - This is really, really, reaaaaaaallyyyy minor, but these objects are not properly stacked. Try moving it one or two grids if you think it's necessary, if not, don't worry.
2. 00:20:712 (1) - The problem here is basically the same I told you in Easy, the slider should end in 00:23:607 - and slider shape can be better. I tried something, even so I have to say this is not the best slider I did in my life and it's not near to be one of the best but I tried something, I'll show you my idea and I'll leave a code in case you want to use it.
   
   Screenshot + Code

   
   

   404,340,20712,6,0,B|388:276|320:264|320:264|340:232|340:232|296:188|296:188|308:148|308:148|256:98|256:98|204:148|204:148|216:188|216:188|172:232|172:232|192:264|192:264|124:276|108:340,1,669.600020945435

3. 00:43:634 (1) - I notice this note is symetric with the one in 00:32:052 (1) - but this one is touching a lot the score/accuracy and it doesn't look really well during the gameplay. You should move this one some grids down to avoid that.
4. 01:11:865 (3) - 01:23:447 (3) - Is it me or are you missing a whistle in both reverse arrow?
5. 01:58:916 (3,4) - You can maybe do those curves a bit more noticeable for a better looking, as I did here
6. 02:00:846 (1,2,3) - I generally don't recommend that kind of patterns in Normal difficulties, the slider end in (3) is pretty near from the end of (1) and average players can get confused, because instead of clicking (2) they will click the end of (3). So, would be better to move (3) a bit farther to avoid that, maybe unstacking (2,3) and rearranging a bit the pattern.

1. 00:20:712 (1) - This spinner should end in 00:23:607 - the reason is the same I gave in Easy/Normal.
2. 01:37:683 (1) - You should move this note some grids down because it's touching score/accuracy and it doesn't provide a good effect during the gameplay.
3. 01:58:916 (1,2) - Nice! I liked this pattern

1. Increase the HP Drain Rate by 1. Actually in 5 is pretty low for the difficulty, and It'll be almost imposible to fail in this map if you have some experience

1. 00:20:712 (1) - Same as Hard about this spinner.
2. 00:24:331 ~ 00:47:495 - I personally thinks some jumps can be reduced in this kiai section, if you compare it with the others you can notice this one is the calmest one, where instrumental are not acting really in a high pitch. I do agree having jumps 00:32:052 (1,2,3,4) - and 00:43:634 (1,2,3,4) - because vocals increased considerably but still they look excessive to me :/. I think some reduction here and there won't hurt for a better representation of the song.

Hi mod here

Easy
00:20:712 (1) - I would prefer you put it right in the middle of the editor so it is more balanced than now. – Noffy makes a good point that the halo should be centered around the angel's head, so I like the current position
01:39:613 (3,3,4) - maybe more consistency here – why? The music is different in each of these spots. I should represent different sounds with different patterns.
02:02:294 (2) - separate them – Not sure what this means, but changed around pattern a bit for aesthetics.

Normal
00:20:712 (1) - AGAIN if you could make it in the centre that would be awesome!!!! – Normal players usually have the background enabled, so making the tree match with the tree in the background seems better to me.
The only thing I am concerned about in this diff is the different rhythm choice in 3rd kiai compared with the previous 2. I think you suddenly made use of a lot of reverse sliders + used more breaks + ignored more drums here. This is very weird imo. I personally feel first 2 parts are better since you ignored a lot of important beats at the end, e.g. 02:01:570 - 02:03:500 - – There is a vocal on 02:01:087 – that makes this kiai feel different from the other two kiais which is why I want to express these sounds differently. Players following the singer will be okay with missing the drum notes.
You can try to add more beats in the last part. (Reverse slider is weird but maybe ok

Hard
00:29:157 (3,5) - 01:23:205 (3,4) – blanket – I want to use the same slider shape as 01:19:345 (3) – and the blanket doesn't look that bad as is
01:45:404 (1,4) - no overlap – I agree, there's no overlap because (1) has faded out by the time (4) arrives.

Insane
00:29:639 (6,1) – blanket – fixed
02:13:152 (2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - etc hmm i dont really like those random jumps in a calm map here, they are too weird and look bad imo – I should first make it clear that I am mapping for Double Time. The player is expected to be good at jumps, and if you aren't, then this map isn't for you. Kind of like how I hate alternating maps; I can't change direction in ¼ time so it plays terribly to me, but that doesn't mean they are bad or unrankable, it means it's not for me and I should let the players who enjoy alternating maps evaluate them. That doesn't mean my map has perfect spacing, but I can't make use of this feedback. In what way does any one jump create pacing issues or not match the music? Telling me how a random jump actually made you feel and why that feeling was disconnected from the music is what I want to hear, even if it is personal to you. I can't improve your experience without understanding how you feel. Same with the visuals. Yes, polygonal shapes look good, but what about my patterns actually look bad? Can you give some details on what was disliked?
01:51:919 (2,3,4) - etc also some of these sound like 1/6s so 1/4 might not be correct – if ¼ is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I don't like Insane's style because there are too many irregular jumps in this christmas song – I respect that opinion. I hope you can respect mine as well. Thank you for the mod!

Hi there! Modding from Christmas Queue

[General]

1. 02:24:010 (1) - What about adding a Clap in this spinner? If you listen properly to the music, there is a similar sound, so I find it as a good option to do so. Give it a try c: – good idea
2. 01:33:822 ~ 01:48:782 - Timing in this section sounds a bit weird to me, especially in patterns like 01:35:753 (5,6,7) - and 01:43:473 (5,6,7) - in Insane. You can probably find a double check on it before to move this map on. – the vocals are certainly off, but I don't think this is going to be a nice fix no matter what I do, so I'll let the BN's tell me this.
3. Tags: I'd add "xmas" in tags. A lot of maps are using it for easier searching. – Seems good

[Easy]

1. 00:20:712 (1) - First of all, I think this slider should end in 00:23:607 . If you listen properly to the music, you can notice that vocals ends there, and it looks like you're following that because you started the slider in 00:20:712 - where vocals starts. In addition, this slider shape is not really neat for my eyes, you could try to make a symetric pattern taking as reference "y axis". I tried something like this, I'll give you a screenshot and a code in case you want to change that (that it's pretty necessary in my opinion). Btw, you can maybe find other shape, take that as an example but I'm giving you the code because you can like this shape. – The last vocal sound starts at 00:23:125 – and carries on all the way to 00:24:331 - . I don't agree with your premise. Ending at 00:23:849 – goes with a piano note and is a natural 1/1 rhythm to start the chorus. Also, if you don't get the slider, there's nothing more I think I can do. It's a halo centered around the Angel's head. I appreciate you sharing the code though.

2. 01:33:822 (1,2) - I personally think this pattern can look better if you try to play a bit more with slider curves and some blankets here and there. Actually both slider shape are tiny and they doesn't provide a good effect to make this kind of patterns. Take a look at the following screenshot (I'll leave a code as well in case you want to use my idea). – One of the goals of this pattern is to differentiate it visually from 01:30:927 (2,4) – to express the calmness. I made it a tiny bit curvier, but any more would start to lose the contrast it has with the previous section.

   Btw.. I moved (3) some grids down, that's why it'll be in this code.
3. 01:41:543 (1,2) - Basically the same as before, try making those curves a bit noticeable so you can make a neater pattern than now. – For something as simple as this, you can just share the picture and not the code. Any mapper should be able to create that kind of slider shape, and if they don't then they should learn how to.

4. 01:46:369 (2,3) - Actually, the current pattern could work but due the slider shape in both sliders the movement of mouse (slider ends in (2) goes up and slider shape in (3) is a bit excessive) is not that clear as I expected. I think you can try something like this for finding a better flow. – yeah that's better
5. 01:56:020 (4) - I personally think this Whistle at this slider end sounds a bit noisy for this calm section, in addition you didn't add them in some slider ends where the music was in a higher pitch (for example in the section from 00:51:355 - until 01:06:315 - ). So, my recomendation here is to remove this Whistle. -- yeah, that sounds better

- I have to say, I liked this difficulty. In general, I dislike the usage of 1/2 patterns in Easy difficulties but you used it properly without abuse them without sense, in addition the BPM is not high and you worked fine with that. I focused my mod in aesthetical issues, because as for the rest I'm pretty happy with this map, great job! – nice!

[Normal]

1. 00:19:264 (5,6) - This is really, really, reaaaaaaallyyyy minor, but these objects are not properly stacked. Try moving it one or two grids if you think it's necessary, if not, don't worry. – good eye, fixed
2. 00:20:712 (1) - The problem here is basically the same I told you in Easy, the slider should end in 00:23:607 - and slider shape can be better. I tried something, even so I have to say this is not the best slider I did in my life and it's not near to be one of the best but I tried something, I'll show you my idea and I'll leave a code in case you want to use it. – There's a mapping technique in this map that I'm trying to use here. In Riki's Normal at 01:16:248 (2) - , the red anchors occur exactly when the beats of the music occurred. I tried to make the branches of the tree also be on those red nodes. I like the top of your tree because it's smaller, but that wouldn't retain the above idea. Also, Normal players have the background enabled, so I want to trace it over the other tree.

3. 00:43:634 (1) - I notice this note is symetric with the one in 00:32:052 (1) - but this one is touching a lot the score/accuracy and it doesn't look really well during the gameplay. You should move this one some grids down to avoid that. – fixed
4. 01:11:865 (3) - 01:23:447 (3) - Is it me or are you missing a whistle in both reverse arrow? – fixed
5. 01:58:916 (3,4) - You can maybe do those curves a bit more noticeable for a better looking, as I did here – again, I want the red node to be where it is to match the music a little nicer
6. 02:00:846 (1,2,3) - I generally don't recommend that kind of patterns in Normal difficulties, the slider end in (3) is pretty near from the end of (1) and average players can get confused, because instead of clicking (2) they will click the end of (3). So, would be better to move (3) a bit farther to avoid that, maybe unstacking (2,3) and rearranging a bit the pattern. -- moved it to be more horizontal, I think this should address the issue

Nice difficulty here as well. The rhythm become a bit repetitive sometimes (for example in the section from 00:51:355 (1) - until 01:06:315 (6) - but in general the song is repetitive, that's why I didn't focus a lot in my mod in this point.

[Hard]

1. 00:20:712 (1) - This spinner should end in 00:23:607 - the reason is the same I gave in Easy/Normal.
2. 01:37:683 (1) - You should move this note some grids down because it's touching score/accuracy and it doesn't provide a good effect during the gameplay. – fixed
3. 01:58:916 (1,2) - Nice! I liked this pattern – yay!

I don't have anything else to say here, even if the rhythm is a bit repetitive, I enjoyed this difficulty.

[Insane]

• Settings

1. Increase the HP Drain Rate by 1. Actually in 5 is pretty low for the difficulty, and It'll be almost imposible to fail in this map if you have some experience – okay

•Mapping

1. 00:20:712 (1) - Same as Hard about this spinner.
2. 00:24:331 ~ 00:47:495 - I personally thinks some jumps can be reduced in this kiai section, if you compare it with the others you can notice this one is the calmest one, where instrumental are not acting really in a high pitch. I do agree having jumps 00:32:052 (1,2,3,4) - and 00:43:634 (1,2,3,4) - because vocals increased considerably but still they look excessive to me :/. I think some reduction here and there won't hurt for a better representation of the song. – This is intended to be played on Double Time, and I really want to emphasize the vocals at 00:32:052 (1,2,3,4) -, but you're right that a slight nerf might be nice for some players. I'll think about it a bit more, but I'm not convinced I should weaken this.

- I have to say you represent well the song in term of jumps and stuff, but some of them are a bit excessive for the calm song. Maybe you can recheck the map by yourself and reduce a bit some jumps length if you find it necessary. – The map feels like the right intensity to me. I need to market this to the 5* players better though, so I changed the map description

That's all! I modded Easy and Normal two days ago but I couldn't complete my mod yesterday due connections problems :c
In general the map is ok, but some jumps in Insane can be reconsidered. As for the rest, everything looks correct
I'm going to give you a pair of stars, one for the map and the second one is for your dedication with the Christmas Queue, I'm glad you have helped a lot this year. – I'm honored to be recognized for that.
Best of Luck! I hope some BN can recheck your map in the meantime! – Thank you, and thanks a bunch for the mod!I can tell you put a lot of effort into this mod, and I like how you expressed a lot of your feelings openly and honestly.

Hello! from my Xmas Q!
I'm bad at modding! -- eh, yeah i guess. Being picky about blankets is a natural thing to do (I've done a lot of that modding and still do sometimes). It's not like I'm expecting the world out of mods though so you're doing fine. The part at 01:33:822 (1,2) - made me curious. If you elaborated on your feelings, I could see this as being a useful piece of feedback, but usually suggestions that say "do this" are not helpful to a mapper since it doesn't explain the underlying cause of a poor play experience. It took a good amount of time before I developed a strong taste in beatmaps to mod effectively, but keep going at it and you'll do great.

[Easy]

Since this is a slow song, it's weird see that this diff is not with the easy icon! -- yeah, it'd be nice if the Easy were a tiny bit lower SP. Oh well.

00:05:993 (3) - I can't feel a good blanket with 00:05:028 (1) -- it's fine
00:10:819 (4) - this slider is near to leave the screen -- fixed
00:41:221 (2) - is near to leave the screen -- nah, it's still on screen not causing problems
01:12:589 (3) - can you blank this with 01:12:106 (2) ? -- how would you deal with (3)'s slider end? Would you make it a triangle with (1,2)? If you did, then the (2,3) flow is really straight which plays odd. If you don't, then (3)'s end is gonna look weird. I like blanketing (3)'s end in (1), and while it would be nice blanket (2,3), I don't think it's worth it
01:28:032 (3,5) - i can't feel a good blanket here -- You have very high standards. It looks fine
01:33:822 (1,2) - This could have the same shape as 2 but going up -- so ctrl + G (2) and reposition it? If that's your suggestion, I can't really make use out of it. Why do you want to change the pattern? What about my pattern feels odd and what about your pattern feels good? I don't really have a goal by simply making the change, so help me understand what is gained by doing this.
01:39:613 (3) - i feel uncomfortable with this slider-form -- Made it curve a little bit more

You were right! is more fun to play with double time! -- Glad you liked it!
GL and Merry Christmas! -- thank you! Merry Christmas!

02:13:152 (2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - what i presume he means is the angles and visual spacing making these look rather randomly placed. like 02:15:323 (4,5,6,7) - none of these look related to each other since they don't make a pattern, 02:13:393 (4,5,6,7) - same here where it could be a more even triangle, etc. 01:33:822 (1,2,3,4,5) - here's another example, when it's highlighted the pattern is a bit clearer but atm it looks kinda odd since the ar is pretty high and as such only 1 object is on screen at a time. so the blanket effect of 5-3 doesnt work well and the angle between 2 3 4 look weird. an arrangement like this: http://puu.sh/yLuu7/8959e21287.jpg would look more cohesive since the angles between object wwould be more consistent. -- yeah that puts it in a way i can see. Changed 02:15:323 (4,5,6,7) - to line up the (4,5,7), but I don't want to make a full on triangle because I want the DS to be progressing down to match the melody. The (2,3,4) angle is 45 degrees which seems fine, but the (3,4,5) angle could be changed to look nicer

01:36:476 (6,7) - 2 1/2 sliders would work wway better, the current thing feels awful cuz of how clearly delayed the vocal is. same for the next one. -- agreed that the vocals are really weird to follow and that the circle doesn't complement them. Changed to 3/2 slider like in Hard

i still dont get why you have such high 1/1 spacing in the calm part, it's pretty annoying. stuff like 00:54:251 (7,8) - could definitely be nerfed. as it stands the overall 1/1 spacing is so high that 01:00:524 (4) - which is supposedly way more emphasized feels the exact same. -- Yeah, I overlooked the DS in favor of nice positions, and I'm also biased towards big spacing. I agree that (7,8) should feel weaker than (8,1) and I've nerfed all these patterns to reflect that. 01:00:524 (4) - To me, this felt emphasized both before and after my changes

yea

anyway you can ping me when sahuang rechecks

1. 00:01:168 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - 00:05:028 (1,2,3,4) - 00:08:889 (1,2,3,4) - stuff like this will basically look like absolute trash everytime you try to freehand everything without knowing a lot more about mapping. these random sliders really dont serve much of a purpose, you might as well make them consistent like angular or symmetrical at least. the problem with this isnt remotely related to playability at all though, but i still think aesthetics play a big role in maps
2. 01:33:822 (1,2,3,4) - this part looks random AF with the weird hitcircle placement. have never seen a square-ish pattern throughout the map this way, would suggest you change how it looks
3. 01:49:988 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - 01:51:919 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - vs 01:07:522 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - 01:09:452 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - i prefer the latter solely because it looked as if it has some form of consistency. the stuff you mapped in the former looks like malformed 4sided polygons which really has no place in the map. would prefer any form of consistency or patterning instead of just slapping in random hitcircles like that
   
   i can't give you anything specific because your map looks like this. everything about your map is just pretty haphazard, like not much thought goes through your mind other than a beeping metronome. though i can't fault you for that, the song is pretty boring to map. i would really highly suggest you give your map a little more sprucing through neater patterns. otherwise its a really ok map.

1. 00:01:168 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - looks suuuper random. would again prefer structure
   
   practically same as insane, just a lot easier. i really did like these parts of the kiai 00:24:331 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4) - because of the equal distancing which makes maps look a lot neater. 00:32:052 (1,2,3,4) - these bits still look really random though
