Hi Katty! I'm stalking modding one of your maps again . Sorry for the delay and here is my part of the m4m
[Normal:]
•
• 00:02:803 (1,3): Add Whistle on these Sliders beginning, fit perfectly with the background of the song and also I think that you did something like I said you on Insane
• 00:08:975 (3,5): (^)
• 00:17:889 (3): This pattern would flow better if you move this Note 'out' of these Sliders, the movement of the mouse/tablet is more comfortable. So is better if you move this Note to x:192 y:136
• 00:28:861 (3,4): The Vocal is sounds just like a unit instead of two things separated like you did with these 2 Notes, so is better if you replace that to a Slider
• 00:34:003 (3,4): (^)
• 00:44:632 (1): Would be better if you finish with the map at the same position as Insane, is more consistent and looks better since this break is longer than Insane diff. and because in this place the vocal end. You should to reduce this Slider by 1/1 and follow this Rhythm
• 00:46:689 (1): This finish on the end sounds preety high, sounds better without Hitsounds.
• 00:55:603: A Slider and a break then looks boring, including this kind of diff. too. Like the other difficultes start to map since here and map the break that start on 00:57:832 to make the map more interesting, I'm sure that you have a nice music to map there
• 01:27:832 (Spin, 1,2,3): This pattern could be a bit hard to read to 'New/Normal' Players because in 01:29:203 act the Instrumental and the SB but this place is overlapped by the Spinner Hitburst, so this is strange because this kind of players don't have the necesary skill to read if there is a Note or Not, maybe you can rearrange a bit this pattern on another way to avoid that. If you do something like I show you in the screenshoot, they will have more time to react
- Maybe the patterns on Kiai are monotonus and repetitive, but I don't have nothing to point out with there
• 02:17:203 (1): Replace this Slider to a Simple Note on the beginning because doesn't follow the same as your previous patterns, also it's good to make an Stop, a lot of 1/1 patterns are not good remember that this is your easiest diff on the mapset
• 02:21:318 (2): The Shape of this Slider can cause confusion in Newbies, is strange to add it on the Easiest diff. Try to change to another thing, will look better in my opinion and they will not any problem on read that
• 02:25:775 (2): Remove this Note, same reason as 02:17:203
• 02:28:518 (2): (^)
- Not bad but sometime it looks a bit Hard to be the easiest diff. on the mapset (especially on the section after to the last kiai where you use a lot of pattern in 1/1 with BPM 175), otherwhise it looks fine to me
[Lize's Hard:]
• Settings:
--> The Approach Rate is low, looks bad at the time to play the map, things in 1/1 and 1/2 sometimes are Hard to read because the AR is low. I highly recommend to increase it by 1 Tick (AR+1
•
• 00:03:489 (x): You should add a Note here, sounds preety fine with the music also following the thing that you want to follow, really
• 00:04:861 (x): (^)
• 00:28:861 (1): I can't see really necesary a finish on this Note, the instrumental doesn't hit too loud and is better to add Finishes with the SB effect. So, I'd replace the finish to a Whistle here.
• 00:35:718 (1): (^)
• 00:42:918 (4): This is the only Slider with more than a repetition in all the map, so this don't look preety fine and don't work a lot. Would be better if you delete the last repetition and then add a Note on 00:43:946
• 00:44:632 (1): I don't like how to sound this Slider ending on the Red Tick. Works better if you reduce it by 1/2 (So, this Slider would finish on 00:44:975) and then add a Note on 00:45:146. Fit better with the Vocal
• 00:45:832 (x): Add a Note, fit better with the Vocal
• 00:51:318 (4,5): Remove the Whistle on (4) and add it on the beginning of (5), fit better with the Instrumental in this case
• 00:56:803 (4,5): (^)
• 01:09:832 (3): A Reverse Selection (Ctrl + R) in this Slider works preety fine, a little jump fit perfectly with the song and also it looks more esthetic. Try it and look it by yourself
• 01:13:603 (3,1): Bad Overlap during the gamplay, try to avoid that moving (1) some grids down or like you want it but right now it doesn't look fine
• 01:17:203 (1,2,3,4,5): To be sincere, I hope a better thing. This don't flow well, in this case you should follow the music on all the aspects, try to do something like this Rhythm
• 01:34:518 (2): Soft Whistle on the Beginning instead of the end of this Slider
• 01:47:889 (2): For a better flow, move this Note to x:256 y:36
• 01:53:375 (x): Add a Note, the stop is way too much but the music is still here. So to reduce the stop, the Note works properly
• 02:09:318 (T): I don't understand the Slider Speed change, first of all 0.50x means that the change on the music is preety high but listen the music it sounds always of the same form. Remove the Inherited Timing Point (green line) and keep the same velocity.
• 02:18:232 (3): This 1/2 Slider with the Repetition doesn't fit fine, really. If you want to follow the Background of the song on a good way (because it is the most important here) you should remove the Repetition and then add a Note on 02:18:746
• 02:30:661 (x): Add a Note.
- This map looks weird, there is a bad variety between undermap and overmap, this plays preety bad. I tried to fix these things on my mod but this really need much more work and mods to avoid that and make the map more enjoyable.
[Insane:]
• Settings:
--> Really, AR9 doesn't fit here, the Notes appear too fast comparing with the BPM specially on the Streams, you should reduce it by 1 Tick the patterns are easier to read (AR-1)
• 00:05:718 (1,2): Flow better if you increase the distance between these Notes, at least to 2.00x like the previous (1,2), feels better in my opinion.
• 00:24:918 (1,2): (^)
• 00:26:289 (1,2): (^)
• 00:35:889 (1,2): (^)
• 00:37:261 (1,2): (^)
• 00:45:318 (3): Fit better with the Vocal if you reduce it by 1/2 and then add a Note in 00:45:832
• 00:46:689 (1): Sounds better if you Remove the Finish on the beginning
• 00:50:803 (4,5): You just overmap to make a 'esthetic' pattern and for symetry, I can't find another good reason to overmap like this. Another reason, maybe you can make a Hard pattern but the overmap is not the best way. Just use the same place of Notes (in the Timeline) like the Hard difficulty.
- Ok, I'm preety tired to continue. This kind of difficulties are like the players doesn't enjoy a lot in my opinion. A lot of Stops in 1/2 but then full of 1/4 patterns, in this Insane you can make more variety and use more 1/2 pattern and not using only the Background of the song.
Well, That's all Katty! :3
This map still needs more improvments
Good Luck on it

A little thing to make your finishes consistent with the other difficulties
In this diff is better if you remark the Storyboard adding finishes when they act, I talk about this first section. In concrete and to be consistent with the other difficulties add Finishes on:
00:05:546 (1): Slider beginning
00:11:032 (1)
00:16:518 (1)
00:27:489 (1)
00:32:975 (1)
00:38:461 (1)
00:05:546 (1): Slider beginning
00:11:032 (1)
00:16:518 (1)
00:27:489 (1)
00:32:975 (1)
00:38:461 (1)
• 00:02:803 (1,3): Add Whistle on these Sliders beginning, fit perfectly with the background of the song and also I think that you did something like I said you on Insane

1/4 Stuff
Remove these Sliders in 1/4, they really don't work very well with the song and also it's just a Hard difficulty so you can make better patterns in 1/2 instead of 1/4. Almost all of them sound bad in my opinion, let me mention them:
00:06:232
00:07:603
00:11:718
00:13:089
00:19:946
02:02:289
02:05:718 - All of these has a repetition overmaped, the second repetition in a blue tick it doesn't sound on the music, and this is wrong, really. Try to avoid that, as I said before 1/2 patterns work better in this kind of difficulties
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00:19:261
00:40:689 - This one is here just to keep the symetry
01:08:118 - Those Sliders are completly overmapping the rhythm, all the blue ticks are not on the music. You must replace that to a 1/2 Slider
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01:19:518
01:25:003
01:41:461
01:46:946
02:03:489
02:08:975 - Blue Tick is Overmaping the map, a note in a Downbeat is more than enough
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01:22:689
01:23:675 - First repetition on the blue tick it doesn't playing with the music, you have to change that
Well that's it with the overmap. All of these should be changed (the only patterns that you can keep are the wrote on Normal letter, because it's appear a little sound on them blue ticks, but things in Bold and Red must be changed. A little advice, listen the music in 25% speed to be sure where you add 1/4 patterns, to don't overmap, this is the best way.
00:06:232
