Because Klonoa is AWESOME.

Wahoo!

[Spoiler Alert for BG Video containing ending for a Klonoa game.]

Woo 4 minutes.

BPM: 164
Offset: I think it's allright.

00:14:92 (7,8) - 1 Grid left.
00:16:20 (11,12) - 1 Grid up.
00:19:31 (1,2) - 1 Grid up.
00:20:23 (4,5) - 1 Grid down.
02:57:71 (2,4,6) - Stack these right.
03:00:64 (2,4,6) - ^

I think big jumps are just for being hard, so i'll just skip it. Other than that, well done.
Going for approved, eh?

Goddamnit is that long. I don't know but I'd like to have this shorter... Don't do it, since I could be wrong, do it when a BAT says it.

Offset might be late. Use 1.750 plz

All difficulties:
Use Inherit previous Timing settings for the soft section plz. Makes things easier.

WAHOO!:
00:56:63 (17) - 100% Overlapping sliders Fix plz
03:34:68 (11) - 95% Overapping sliders Fix plz

Rape!:
Do not have problems.

Awesome map

Overall good but why is the .mp3 named Stepping Wind? Is that the actual name of the song?

NEEDS BackGround...

Rapaa!
01:01:932 - Push the slider here and make a quick small slider repeat between the spinner and the last beat beforehand.
01:23:701(1) - Make it reverse again.
01:38:335 - Map the small amount of speech right after the slider.


WAHOO!

Make the drain slightly easier it goes down slowly even in spinners.
00:01:749(1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) they're not snapped to grid and check the map for the same issue.
Also some beats slightly touch and it's just enough to make beats look closer then what they actually are.
02:51:506 (the two chain combos) - Only by memorization can some1 hit those notes that move back on the red ticks.
Better make it so Anybody who just starts playing the map can see them like either making them stick out or something.
03:13:457 (1) shorten the slider in half then repeat it to mach the Shouting.

I may miss ALOT of stuff usually a BAT can see so check witha BAT.

Here's what i meant by the slider thing in Wahoo!

OI GET A BACKGROUND!

Rapaa!
02:08:33 (6) - Move it up?
02:14:92 (5,6) - Move this down abit so that 5 is closer to the end of 4..
03:03:22 (1) - 8 second Spinner.. Get a second opinion on this however..

Also.. The map goes 4 minutes. Shorten.. I'd say by atleast a minute..

WAHOO!
00:22:23 (12,13) - Move these down abit. 1 level 3 grid i say.
02:57:35 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Don't have hitcircles covering the end of sliders -.-
Some of your combos have inconsistent spacing. Sometimes there is a space inbetween and sometimes there isn't. I kind of think maps should have consistent spacing throughout the combo..
Also.. The map goes 4 minutes. Shorten.. I'd say by atleast a minute..

-.- BG!!

I do not approve of 4 minutes.

/me doesn't mod.

Why is noone saying anything about the humongous size of the .osz? Fifty megabytes? Seriously?

Compress the ass out of that video, please ;p 20 Mb ideally...

Nothing I could really find wrong with the map... except the overall difficulty on WAHOO! could be lowered by a tick or two.

Before anyone says it's "too long" - oh wait, too late -, it has about the same amount of audio time as

http://osu.ppy.sh/?p=beatmap&s=3486

Only 3:09 or so of actually clicking on the beats. The 3 breaks are evenly spread out.

That is all. Now can you please stop saying "shorten", when it's not too long? There are longer maps out there. :P

EDIT: Ah, one thing on Wahoo! difficulty:

03:28:27 (10) - Can't see reverse arrow.

Aside from that, this map has quite a few traps. Then again, it's worth 9.9 mil over a little over 3 minutes of actual playing time (non - break time). Then again, I didn't fall for the traps. :P Only thing that really got me was the reverse arrow above, but...

-Overall Difficulty's fine, after playing it again.

I'm considering WAHOO! an Insane, though, because, well... it feels like one. :P Except that I can pass it, no mods.

Sorry, I have to go to a clinic, so I only got to mod Rapaa!. PM me again to remind me to mod WAHOO! and it shall be done.

Rapaa!:
-00:17:11 (8) - Make this symmetrical on both sides.
-00:32:84 (5) - Realign the diagonal this is in with 4. Respace 6, 7, and 8 to make them look neat again afterwards.
-03:33:22 (2) - The starting point should have a Finish.
-03:35:41 (7) - Straighten this out.
-03:39:80 (6) - Line up with 4. Then respace the stuff after it.
-03:42:00 (5,6,7,8) - Whistles go here.
-03:47:12 (6) - Whistle goes here.
-03:58:10 (6) - Clean up the middle of this slider (make it more...symmetrical, I guess)

EDIT: Sorry, fell asleep before I could finish modding this before.

WAHOO!:
-00:12:72 and 00:12:90 - I feel like there should be beats here.
-00:13:82 (3) - Line up in the diagonal previously set by 1 and 2 unless you alter 2 to make this look more like a curve.
-00:27:54 (9) - New Combo mark goes here. I'm not a fan of combos over 16, but that's probably just a personal preference.
-00:29:55 (15) - Line up with 13 and 17.
-00:42:17 (9,10) - Move this over to the left slightly, given the shape you're forming with 11, 12, and 13. Just make sure the space between 10 and 11 is even.
-00:46:56 (3) - Make this shaped like 1, 2, and 4.
-00:51:50 (1,2,3,etc) - First off, make 1 a clicked beat. Then, remove the New Combo mark from it. Make what would have been 2 start 1/2 a beat earlier and make it an Etna slider. Put the New Combo mark on it. Then, remake the pattern so it flows the same way it did before.
-01:01:75 (14,1) - Delete 14, move the spinner back 1/2 a beat and then extend it 1/2 a beat.
-01:35:04 (5) - Line up exactly with 4's starting point.
-02:06:14 (2,3) - Stack exactly on the end of 1's endpoint.
-02:24:61 (6,7,8) - To me, it'd look better if you line up the endpoints of these sliders.
-02:57:35 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - This part just feels awkward to me. As if it'd be better if 2, 4, 6, and 8 were on the endpoints of the slider before it, not the slider after it.
-03:00:28 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - ^
-03:28:82 (11,12,13) - Lower so it's still even and 13 ends up on the starting point of 10.
-03:37:60 (4) - New Combo mark.

Starred.

I'm looking forward to the final version of this one. Sorry I didn't have time to look at this.

...although I'm not sure about the artist's name. Well maybe because I just don't remember the voice actress for Klonoa anymore. :\

Actually, we're looking for the COMPOSER of the song, and through deep searching I found this name. I can't really put up Klonoa as an artist.

From what I saw in IRC, I guess this is long enough to make it qualify for Approved, not Ranked. I'll look at it when I get home.

Also, changed the thread title so it's correct.

Seriously? That map is 4:13 and... There are maaaaaaaaaany ranked maps that are even longer.
Kingcobra's Phoenix Wright Compilation even is 5 minutes! Or m-flo - Luvotomy (5:41).
Also, I thought Approved maps would be maps that are way too long. THIS, on the other hand... is 13 seconds above the limit.

:/

Bump for great justice, vytalibus CAN'T let this map die and I know that 4:12 is short enough for being ranked, so mod that map finally!

I think it's fine. Add source field.

I thought the video wasn't synced well based on the parts with the closeup of the character saying "Wahoo!"; the mouth flaps didn't seem to match the song's timing. After struggling with the video offset, it dawned on me...that video wasn't originally paired with the song, was it? Seems like an AMV. The mouth flaps seem to be way too many for two syllables for this video to have originally been made to this song.

Anyway, this seems to be almost ready. Source fields.

Yes, it's an AMV. The compilator of the video wasn't a very good syncer.

Rapaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!:
00:34:676 this slider looks fugly
01:39:798 move this note 1/2 tick forward and stack in on stop of 2
02:01:749 i think these just look a bit close
02:07:969 ^
02:22:237 - 02:33:579 this time area needs more finish hitsounds >.>
03:37:969 move this three level 3 grids up!
03:39:432 ^
03:40:164 ^^
03:41:262 3,4,5 are too close
04:01:567 needs a note here w/ finish sound
04:02:481 move this 1/2 tick forward and stac with 2
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!:
00:42:176 new combo pl0x
01:03:579 22 second long break D:
01:30:469 you dont need to really change it but 9 looks hidden a bit
03:17:298 hidden endpoint
03:20:225 ^
03:34:310 line this slider with the reverse of 9
03:37:603 - 00:46:749 seriously theres too many finish sounds imo
03:50:774 the start of this slider is hidden by 5
04:02:298 delete this
04:08:152 delete this
04:13:274 (optional) add a jump here to end the map with a WAHOO! :3

All diffs:
Don't put sample/volume changing timing sections DIRECTLY on notes. If you do, it could be that you get the wrong sample when clicking too early. Place those sections 1/4 or 1/2 earlier, as long as you inherit, that's fine.

Rapaa:
01:17:84 (7) - repeat is hard to see


WAHOO!:
03:41:26 (12) - Repeat is hard to see

That's.. it?

I personally don't have any issues with the length, when I play the map It fells like a short map to me...

and it's like 11 sec. over limit....that's not much, even youtube sliders over 40 sec over limit...

[Rapaa!]
00:17:11 (8) - slider is sortof hidden and looks uneven to me
00:31:01 (1) - note hidden by previous slider
02:06:50 (2) - more hidden than it needs to be
03:03:22 (1) - holy shit this spinner is LONG
03:43:45 (1) - stack this on the previous 7


[Wahoo!]
00:12:72 (1) - NINJA SPINNER! (dont hafta take it out but it is a bit difficult)
00:24:98 (3) - spaced a little far from the previous note, or maybe its the other notes in the combo being spaced too close
00:36:14 (16) - imo combo numbers shouldnt get this high
00:57:35 (18) - ^
01:31:74 (11) - note partly hidden by prev. slider
01:59:55 (4) - spacing seems wide here
02:07:96 (5) - stack on the fading 2
02:39:06 (10) - new combo here
02:45:10 (16) - combo is too long
02:49:67 (6) - i dislike this placement
02:51:50 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - standardize spacing across this combo plz
02:54:43 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - ^
03:27:54 (7,8,9,10) - this just plain looks messy. maybe use your larger spacing to make this not overlap?
04:11:44 (2,3,4) - ^

Wahoo!:
00:12:72 (1) - I can't 300 that spinner for my life. Make it longer or kill it.
00:42:72 (3) - New Combo for spacing change
00:44:00 (6) - ^
01:00:28 (11) - ^
01:37:42 (10) - Repeat gets hidden by 9's score explosion.
02:41:26 (5) - New combo for spacing change
02:42:35 (8) - ^
02:59:00 (7,8) - 1 Level 3 grid up
03:01:93 (7,8) - ^
03:23:51 (8) - New Combo for spacing changes.
03:41:26 (12) - Repeat pretty hard to see.


Yes I know, the spacing doesn't ALWAYS change when I say it does, however it feels like the spacing changes, so please place new combos :S

Just a little fan bump! Keep trying until it gets ranked
P.S You can do it...lol

No idea what weed I smoked at the "repeats". Sorry for that.

...I believe I modded that unupdated version ^_^"

Wahoo!:
01:00:29 (11) - New Combo
02:00:30 (5) - ^
02:01:76 (4) - ^
02:07:61 (4) - ^
02:22:25 (4) - ^
02:23:71 (8) - ^
02:25:18 (12) - ^
02:29:57 (5) - ^


Sorry for the lots of New Combos, but it REALLY helps if big spacing changes are in new Combos

But we're close


EDIT: Wahoo! Bubble!

i still dislike the segment where there are only finish sounds in both maps but its fine i guess

rankable imo

Be ranked and free! (This song is really weird but the map is a lot of fun)
