Hi,

I just played the map, and i think you should make CS +1 on hard

I'd stick with the small circle size. There's so many CS4 maps, I think people are just too used to it. This plays well the way it is.

From the start I find that it is very short with under a minute, would have been better if you used a longer sample. Although a bit to late to switch now as it would require you to redo a lot of your work and do quite a bit extra as well.

Second making the objects black and white really fits the theme a lot better.

the red tint on some of the backgrounds is really a bit overwhelming, maybe thinker with the colors a bit make it a bit less strong.

Easy: a bit of an easy map, quality wise not much to say for me other then the obvious yawn.

Normal: Either remove the spinner or the long slider on the and as both is just to much.

Hard: some tell shit about the small circles but I think it is good like this, if anything make them a bit smaller, as the map itself is a bit slow I think challange could come from somewhere and there are not that many maps that do it by requiring good mouse control, remember the smaller circle sizes in osu! do exist for a reason and are not just decoration. In the beginning maps used them a lot more but at some point they started favoring speed and sliders more and that is not always better. I think you should just set yourself apart from the rest by using small circles.

First I planned to do a longer version but it turned out that it is very very boring to play. The map seems really long for me because the melody is very very simple and slow. It was okay until that long tone where I use the spinner but ... meh it gets really tiring after that. However if i ever do the japanese original version I would say yes it should be longer because there is more variety in the melody. Buuuuuuuut I wait until my friend uploads his version ^^ maybe i have a guest diff. Who knows :3

Second making the objects black and white really fits the theme a lot better.

Would come with the prize of 2 thinks. Getting a better bg so the colors fit. Listening to 3208132390 people saying that that is bullshit. Besides I prefer the purple because after all "Lavender is the colour of purple nobility". Besides the town is themed after purple in Pokemon yellow

the red tint on some of the backgrounds is really a bit overwhelming, maybe thinker with the colors a bit make it a bit less strong.

I don't know. I don't see a problem with the current bg

Easy: a bit of an easy map, quality wise not much to say for me other then the obvious yawn.

Yawn, What I have to say though is that in the beginning i only had 2 standard diffs and so I made this one because you need 2

Normal: Either remove the spinner or the long slider on the and as both is just to much.

I don't think so. The slider is actualy nice. Minimalistic version of the pokemon ghost. (I don't care if I am the only one who sees that)
The spinner was shorter but due to the SB I made it as long as in Easy. Mapping something of the beginning plays bad and shorting it kind of is bad for the SB

Hard: some tell shit about the small circles but I think it is good like this, if anything make them a bit smaller, as the map itself is a bit slow I think challange could come from somewhere and there are not that many maps that do it by requiring good mouse control, remember the smaller circle sizes in osu! do exist for a reason and are not just decoration.

I think you should just set yourself apart from the rest by using small circles.

It is TVO diff but I have to say that cs6 is actually the best. CS 7 is way to small for the current spacing which would mean it has to be remapped, respaced
Even more people would bitch about the cs then >.< At the End no XAT would bubble that. So yeah ....

Have to say the Taiko and CtB are pretty Easy xD If you want to start either mod you should try them out ^^

1. 00:18:354 (3,4) - these circles should actually be looking like the circles (1,2)'s emplacements. I personally think it will make it more consistent and make it looking better. To make it the same as the circles (1,2), delete the these two circles (3,4) (The hitsounds of these objects was; Finish, Whistle) and after that, copy these previous circles and paste it. Move these to x:416 y:312. It should look like this:
   
   Example

   
2. 00:27:897 (1) - *Comment* This slider's form is so cool!
3. 00:39:348 (1) - The symmetry of this slider is not looking good.. You could be able to make it symmetric by moving the red node one grid up and rearrange the second and fourth node a bit.

1. 00:02:132 (3) - This slider is pretty cool but, I swear you could make a better form with it. I personally don't like how it is right now because between the first and the second wave, it looks a bit odd. Well, I mean't, while I was playing it, it looked like you've added a red node somewhere on this slider. So, I think you should reform it a bit. Maybe.. like this?
   
   Example

   
2. 00:04:995 (1,2,3,4) - *Comment* The thing I don't really like here, is that the spacing is completely not consistent.. For an example, the spacing of the circles (2,3). You can keep it since it plays good but.. the spacing is not pretty good.
3. 00:12:629 (1,2,3,4) - While playtesting, i was wondering about the spacing of these sliders.. There's a bit spaces between the sliders (2,3). For an example, (1,2) (3,4) are really close, but these two are just.. not making sense? Also, the direction of the slider (2) goes at the top-left, when you have to go at the down-right. So, the slider (2) is not really catching the next slider. You could actually make them more closer, even if it will do the same thing, but at least, they will be more closer, just like this or even, you could make a totally new patterns to make it more enjoyable.
   
   Example

   
   
   By doing this, the spacing will mostly be the same.
4. 00:31:237 (4) - Move this circle one grid at the right. Why? Well, the square form is actually not perfect and it should also be aligned with the circle 1 and the circle 3. It's perfectly aligned with the circle 3, but not with the circle 1. So, by moving it a bit, the square form will be perfect and aligned.

In a way that it's fun to play. There's no hyperdash and exaggerated notes, so it's alright
Maybe because some people hate me for spamming stars on it? That's not a reason of hating a map..

Normal
This difficulty looks good, the only thing I didn't liked here, is that most of the objects are highly spaced, which makes the difficulty harder. Also, with these settings, it's even more harder.. High spacing comes because i had to use smaller circles so the spread does not get hurt as much with Hards cs. I could reduce HP drain if necessary but i am not sure though. I tried AR4 but that plays worse than AR5 but that is probaly because i am just used to higher ARs ...


I've played both Taikos, they're pretty good. I have nothing to say, same thing for the CTB difficulty. nice to hear that
It should be ready to go! That probaly means I have to wait like 3 months or more

I don't think anyone cares how much of your KD you invest in your own map

1. Add in Game Boy to the tags. Both Pokemon Red and Blue were both released for the Game Boy.

1. I suggest increasing the Approach Rate and Overall Difficulty by one. Doing that will make Easy better to play over in my opinion.
2. 00:04:995-I can see potential of having a new combo here. Give it a shot!

• 00:15:014 (2)-Forgot to add a whistle there?

1. 00:37:440 (1, 2)-It would be best to add whistles on both end points. that way, they'll sound good in my opinion.

1. 00:20:263 (59)-Perhaps it'll be good to add in a kat there. Doing that will form up to be a kdk pattern with the previous notes and it could play well that way in my opinion.

Looks good from what I can see. The spacing on Normal is fairly big but it's not such a big deal yeah maybe the spacing is relative high but I think it is still okay too :3

My Map is level 100 ;D

1. There's an issue in the storyboard for TVO's difficulty: In Easy and Normal the ghost remains in the background after the pulse, but in this difficulty it doesn't. Fix that please!
2. I think it'd be best if you just used one of the colored backgrounds for the whole set? It's unneccesary to have the same background just in two colors randomly placed on each map in the set; two standard diffs and a taiko have a red background and the rest have gray; I don't see why this is so? If you were at least going to use this, make sense with it and put the red backgrounded difficulties on your own maps you mapped and the gray on the guest mapper's difficulties!

1. 00:18:354 (3, 4) - Add the finish at three and remove the whistle; remove the finish at four and add a whistle.
2. 00:22:172 (5) - It flows better if you just make this a downward-curved slider imo.
3. 00:27:897 (1) - Maybe shorten the slider to 00:29:329 - and add a note where the slider previously ended.
4. 00:36:963 (2) - Either remove the whistle here for consistency or add one at 00:36:009
5. 00:39:348 (1) - Break this slider up; could best fit the music if it was two sliders, one starting where this one starts and ending at 00:40:780 -, then one starting where the original repeat started ending at 00:42:688 -. After that, move the spinner up so it starts at 00:43:166 - and ends where it originally ended.

1. 00:37:917 (1) - Either add a whistle here for consistency or remove the one on (2)'s slider end.
2. 00:38:394 (2) - Don't make the endpoint the same as one; spread out the slider more, I don't see the main appeal in playing this pattern except for it looks a bit unaesthetically pleasing and would be best not mirroring it's previous slider (1).
3. 00:39:348 (1) - Break this slider up; could best fit the music if it was two sliders, one starting where this one starts and ending at 00:40:780 -, then one starting where the original repeat started ending at 00:42:688 -.

1. 00:08:812 (1) - Maybe curve this slider a bit to the left? It's current transition is a bit awkward and I think it'd due to the horizontal slant of the transition (slider) and this would fix it.
2. 00:33:623 (3) - The higher pitched noise in the BGM right here makes a great place to put a New Combo seeing as if bomber's done that in the easier difficulties and it follows the music well.

1. plays nicely; good job!

I just use the gray one. Is that okay? Because while I like the red one a tick more I just cannot play with that in ctb (thus i used it in ctb diff) But when I think about it. The Easy and Normal will be played in ctb too ... I guess I will play them too. So short: I use the gray one

[Easy]

1. 00:18:354 (3, 4) - Add the finish at three and remove the whistle; remove the finish at four and add a whistle. I swear it was already like this some time ago.... anyway done
2. 00:22:172 (5) - It flows better if you just make this a downward-curved slider imo.While I understand your point and I kind of agree I just cannot find a satisfying or even decent solution. Everything I tried played and looked terrible. orz sry D: Okay after your suggestion picture on IRC I made it
3. 00:27:897 (1) - Maybe shorten the slider to 00:29:329 - and add a note where the slider previously ended. I like how it is at the moment. Idk how to explain it but when I short it and add a note it feels like to much ...

So I am supposed to make the sliders farer away because it does not play well or it looks bad or something ... uhhh help? I think it looks and plays nice. The fact that both sliders go down fits imo with the music, because the big sounds 00:38:394 - and 00:37:440 - make the impression of pulling it down. I am a bit confused now so maybe a picture or so? D: ... okay red reason should be enough :3

After that, move the spinner up so it starts at 00:43:166 - and ends where it originally ended. I know I did that in Easy but I really really want to keep this in normal. I really dig this slider because it reminds me as some sort of minimalistic of the pokemon ghost

[TVO's Hard]

- decrease the circle size by one? it feels more enjoyable to play the patterns and that way and the circles just look incredibly tiny to me at the moment ahah I just write my opinion on this one too. Alot of people are enjoying the cs6 on this diff alot. I asked so many people about this and it ends around 50 - 50. I really love the small circles and you don't see cs6 here in osu! since idk. The last one I remember was in Sep. 2011 "Many of Horrors" with CS7 (loved that map). That is not the best answer but there are more reasons.
With CS5 this diff feels a bit like a Normal+ which isn't nice. p3n agreed with cs6 and said it would be too easy with bigger circles then.
The Song is sooo slow and calm and the melody so simple that it just feels right for me to have cs6
I mean I know that CS thing is in todays standard like " WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE THE OPTION FOR SOMETHING SMALLER THAN 4. But there are really alot of people who like smaller cs.
And yes I am aware that I wrote alot about this.
- i'd suggest for you to put a spinner in here near the ending but it's up to you

1. 00:08:812 (1) - Maybe curve this slider a bit to the left? It's current transition is a bit awkward and I think it'd due to the horizontal slant of the transition (slider) and this would fix it.
