  1. 00:23:114 (7) - If you listen clearly,you'll notice that the singer's voice here is 1/8 late,so make this slider longer by 1/8 to match it completely. done
  2. 00:52:725 (6,7) - CTRL+R on each of them? Imho,in this way the entire pattern will flow better. mm i ctrl+r (8) (im not sure, im not writing this while i change stuff. i changed everything already and right now im trying to remember what stuff did i changed and which not lol
  3. 01:30:947 (5) - CTRL+R here? I think this flows better than the actual setting. yeah much better
Thanks kevincela :D

    00:22:836 (6,7,8) - Doesn't really fit the vocals like this, how about http://puu.sh/10GUk , This is a note, followed by 2x a 1/1 slider, followed by a note sounds alright now, because kevincela helped me with this part already.
    00:49:614 (7,8) - Structurally this doesn't play/sound right, As this is mapped to the vocals, slider (8) should start where note (7) is right now, and there should be a note after it on 00:50:169 - ok done. fuck i had to remap this part. lol
    00:57:392 (2,3,4,5) - Feels as if this is just forced in here, doesn't fit with the music it fits the vocals and the instrumental at the same time o.o

Hi, nice map~

Only add epilepsy warning due to some strobes you are using~

And as I don't know nothing about SB, only I have to say that your SB load is higher than 5.0x in 01:21:669 - 01:22:447 , which is a very high number .w.

No kd, good luck~

Snepif
Okay thanks :3 I'll talk with my Kei about it
Doodley
Okay, sorry for a late mod.

I can't play super Insane maps, nor can I mod them that well so I can't judge whether or not they're actually playable (I'm sure you and your collaborator are able to FC it) so I won't be able to mod it as thoroughly. Sorry! I mod cosmetics more often anyway.

General
Punch me in the dick for saying this, but you should have an easier difficulty whether or not it's for approval. It's more fair to the new players, regardless that it's approval, because they wouldn't be able to play their favorite songs just because there isn't a difficulty easy enough for them. Approval will cycle out anyway with the addition of Performance Points.
I don't really like the preview point. Preview points are interesting given that, say, you could random on this map and you would hear "I LIKE MY WEAPONS HOW I LIKE MY MUSIC..." which is something you would hear every time I click the map. I think it would work well at 00:46:836 (yes, generic chorus preview point, but it's easily the best place to put a preview point because the chorus is what everyone remembers in a song)

Combo Colors
Combo color 2 could be brighter.
I recommend using this as a combo color (lightning)


Storyboard and Skin Elements
AIBat tells me:
Missing SB Elements: morde huehuehue 2.png
SB Elements Not .png: black.jpg
Unused Image Files: pause-overlay.jpg

I recommend having custom pause buttons if you have a pause-overlay, they add to it. I recommend you use the font you use in the lyrics.

Reduce the SB Load at 01:21:614 to 01:22:503 by having it your background fade to Black and White.png, then removing it for the SB at that moment. Afterwards, fade to black (no background). Your SB Load should be reduced to (estimated) 3x during the black and white fade, and then 0.5x.

You do not need a black.jpg file as no background itself is black. When there is no background, osu! generates a black background that costs almost nothing in SB Load. You can have something fade into black while having no SB Load whatsoever by having no background. Remove the background at a certain point where it is not needed (such as when it fades to Black and White.png

During the time periods where there is no black and white, you do not need it in the storyboard.
Only have it in the storyboard where it is visible. This is the same for the map background. You have it at an unnecessary 100% fade during the entire time when the map background is present, which wastes SB Load.

Use .jpg compression if you want to reduce load time in-game and download time. .jpg compression is completely unnoticeable in non-solid colored images such as your map background, but it reduces a lot of the file size.

For comparison, this is your original Color.png at 580KB and this the same thing compressed into a .jpg at 89KB. It may not seem like much, but you could probably chop off a few whole MB by doing so...but you don't need to.

Flash with White.png at 01:22:503.

The white flashing between 00:41:614 and 00:43:169 could pulse with Color.png instead to be less of an annoying, repetitive effect.

Place Kei.png in front of Black and White.png in layer order so Black and White doesn't flash in front of Kei.png between 02:26:503 and 02:33:614 (thus making Kei.png repeatedly disappear.) Have it fade when the storyboard fades to black.

Snep's HUE
01:50:392 - New combo?
02:34:947 (3,4,1) - This overlap is too extreme between several notes and sliders. Really, you should avoid overlapping everything...
00:28:280 (1,2,3) - Is there any reason for this extreme jump? Each is separated 3.04x the distance snap, at about 223 milliseconds to reach the next note. That's a little extreme for something that's not really deserving of such an extreme jump...

No problems that I can see.

Very cool map, and very well designed. Fun to watch. Do think of the players who are not able to play high difficulty maps, however.

It's fine if you don't want to add an easier difficulty for now, since it's not against Approval criteria as far as my knowledge goes, but it would be nice if you did get one in. Perfomance Points now considers both Ranked and Approved, diminishing the purpose of Approved category (to not add an extremely high score to your rank and farm that score)

I know ;_; actually my brother was making an easier one called Carnage but he takes ages mapping it... and I can't rush him because he just goes "gtfo dont rush me if you dont like it rank it without my diff" so I can't get one LOL
And also it's supposed to be like this because of the whole song atmosphere and stuff.. personally I don't think I could map an easier one myself because I tend to map what I hear and follow the music and "feel" of the song. I know there's people out there who would make one but I just wouldn't like to have such diff :c
Anyway it's a good advice Doodley, and I'll take it into account for my future projects. Thanks!

To be honest, I cannot think about a Easy/Normal Diff to such a Song.

I really think about to change a bit to the NA Server, since many people of osu! play there. D:

Anyway, now to the Mod:

[General]
Why does it takes a bit when I want to play a Diff? It's like there is a Audio Lead-In for it, even you didn't do that. :O

[HUE]
00:20:614 - I think it it fits well with the Music if you add a Circle here. http://puu.sh/14eUN <- Just an example.
00:22:280 (2) - IMO the Middle part sounds awkward for me. You should not set here at 00:22:447 something.
01:38:836 (2) - Same here as above.
01:43:169 (5) - I would set NC here.
01:49:947 (5) - The End sounds extremly strange and partly out of beat. I would remove 01:50:392 (1) and extend this Slider to this time.
02:18:169 (4,5,6) - The Stacks feels unnatural to play, I suggest to unstack it, if possible.

[HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE]
00:04:503 (2,3) - The Jump is a bit far.. I would reduce it for.. like 1/4 of now?
02:14:392 (2,4) - Can you move them like that?: http://puu.sh/14fd4
02:55:003 (1) - I perfer that you should also end the Spinner like in the Diff before.

That's all what I could find. I hope this gets ranked even if I can't play such Diffs. orz

01:38:836 (2) - Same here as above. Same~~

01:49:947 (5) - The End sounds extremly strange and partly out of beat. I would remove 01:50:392 (1) and extend this Slider to this time. Actually I don't agree with that because the most intuitive thing is this i thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink and also it follows the drum line

Who are you.~

This song has very high BPM. The song you mapped for Approval is just a common song with 174BPM which can be perfectly for ranking. I'm not sure if you realize that this song is very fast and you can't map a easy or a normal difficulty with it. It's just too fast. It would sound bad because by doing that you have to skip 90% of the sounds. That is totally a waste. That's why this map can be considered as a special case, like my Snep<3 said. This song needs to be mapped for approval. It's not a excuse to make a hard map for approval.

I don't think it matters if you know me or not lol, anyways, I found this map by searching for some good unapproved maps.
And no, if it's not about 250BPM breakcore which contains constant 1/4 or even 1/8 notes, there are no more exceptions to that rule.

Actually, in some parts the song sounds more like 135 BPM instead of 270, so It wouldn't be hard to map easier diffs. Sure, you would skip some notes, but if you can't make a good sounding Normal only for that reason, you srsly lack creativity. U say it would be a waste. Explain, what would be wasted?
I think it would be rather a waste not to let beginners enjoy this song too.

The whole song. Mapping just 10% of all the mappable stuff of the song is just baaaaaaad.

Does someone actually care about this? I don't think so. If mappers actually cared about this, someone could mapped easier diffs for their approval maps, but clearly, nobody does. The only reason which people is starting to map easier diffs is because the rule is being enforced. This map was submitted before the rule was stablished, so we have a chance to leave the mapset as it is. We are going to ask a BAT if this map can be approved or not. If it can't, we will try to map easier difficulties. Ah and btw, Snep is not being immature. We just don't like your attitude towards us. It is not like you're a XAT or something to tell us what to do, or whats wrong/right.

I don't want to ruin your mapthread here with a derailing discussion, but mapping only 1 or 2 diffs (of same difficulty level) just is ignorant to the majority of the community: the average (non-elite) players. I don't see a good reasoning why 2-4 min songs should be approved, in most cases these maps are just normal maps with the lack of easy diffs.

Approval for special maps, Rank for everything else.

My doubt was about my map being "too hard" for easier diffs a.k.a. difficult in special ways...

If you think your map is challenging in a special way (as per the previous "approved" category) please approach a BAT about special treatment
Maybe my map could fit into that category, idk

If it is too hard, there should be plenty of room for easier diffs, unless you mapped to the most basic rhythm possible already. A single challenging diff doesn't prevent you from also taking care of the less skilled players, as well as the easier diff isn't hurting you or the map.

Let's put it another way: have you even tried mapping an easier version? Usually it's not too hard to map. Of course nobody expects you to make a 0-1 star diff for a song of this speed, but giving it a serious try would be a fair solution.

Guys, I never said I wouldn't map another diff and also I never said that my map MUST go for app and you are "wrong" in saying the opposite.
I just had a doubt. Okay then.

So should I add normal + hard or something like that? I don't want to map a REAL easy... uhm... or what?

you should get 1 diff under 3.00 star rating, and you really do need a [Hard]
