Easy
It's a very clean map. Only minor things to say.
00:10:631 (3) - Wrap more evenly around 4? That gap just looks ugly to me. Just in case you don't know the terminology, wrapping an object around another object is referred to as blanketing. I will refer to it as such.
00:34:655 (1,2) - Blanket around this should be more even. I fixed this by having the second point (of slider 2) at x 33 y 134, the last point is at x 58 y 193. I turned grid snap off to fix. Make sure to fix the spacing with 3 afterwards.
00:47:382 (4,5) - Blanket here?
00:52:110 (3) - Any particular reason why you didn't add a finish here? I think I know this answer. you're only using them every so many measures. This sound stood out from the other sounds in terms of tone though. Maybe consider having a finish here because of that.
01:00:473 (3) - I suggest having this look similar to 1.
01:05:928 (2) - Starts a bit too close to the body of 1 for my tastes. It would help if 01:05:201 (1) - and 01:07:382 (3) - were in the exact same position. 01:05:201 (1) - is at x 266 y 242 and 01:07:382 (3) - is at x 267 y 244. The easiest way to fix this is to move 1. This will make the gap a little better.
Normal
00:07:722 (1,2,3,4) - Straight sliders just don't give this part justice. I think you could create a more interesting pattern utilizing two repeat sliders or at the very least adding more curves.
00:20:110 (2,3,4) - I think this looks better as a blanket. What do you think?
00:27:383 (2,3,4,5) - These curves look sloppy to me. I think reducing the arc makes a nicer pattern in general. Here's an example. You don't really have to change it if you don't want to. The arc just seems out of place to me.
00:51:383 (4,5) - Too linear. Something like this makes more sense IMO.
00:59:383 (1) - Move lower and more under previous slider for a better alignment. I'm pretty sure you could fix the alignment without screwing with your patterns.
00:59:383 (1,2) - Too close/ spacing breaks pattern consistency.
01:10:292 (4,1,2,3,4,1) - Normally I would prefer patterns like these to be more consistent (similar slider shapes, spacings etc) But I rather like how 01:13:201 (4,1,2,3) - is executed. It makes up for the lack of consistency.
01:22:655 (1,2) - I think this could be a better pattern. I suggest placing the sliders in a more interesting way.
Hard
[Note] Chrome ate my first attempt at a mod for Hard. I apologize if this mod feels rushed. ask me if you have any questions.
Some parts of this difficulty felt randomly placed. It would be nice if this difficulty had elements that all fit together coherently and were based upon a common structure. There were parts that were just mapped very differently than other parts, sometimes unnecessarily so.
Kiai lacked finishes. the easier difficulties had more finishes than this difficulty has.
00:01:178 (3,4,5,6) - I think it would be better if you made the blanket perfect with 3,4 and then made a triangle pattern with the stack. http://puu.sh/2Sh3M.jpg
00:03:723 (3,4) - I think a perfect blanket here would look better. http://puu.sh/2Sh8N.jpg
00:05:904 - I suggest adding a note here. The gap between the next note throws me off the rhythm, which in turn makes the spinner uncomfortable to spin.
00:07:723 (1,2,3,4,5) - Are you happy with this pattern? It's probably not the best pattern, but it's not bad either. I could try to find a better one in a recheck if you want.
00:14:814 (4,5,6) - Stack leaning is messing with the spacing. You might want to manually space to fix it.
00:19:904 (1,2) - I don't like this blanket. It's imperfect and I think that the beat spread out is much more desirable to look at. consider forming it similarly to the next segment.
00:32:837 (3,4) - Weird pattern. How about something like this? http://puu.sh/2SizE.jpg
00:36:109 (3,4) - I did not expect this pattern to be angled. Could you try to make it so 3 doesn't angle upward as much?
00:42:655 (5,6,1) - Spacing is different and it shouldn't be. It's fine that you're using a higher distance snap, but make sure that the distance snap is the same spacing across the transition. (It isn't).
00:44:110 (3,4,5,6) - Randomly shaped pattern doesn't really fit considering that there are so many consistent patterns in this area.
00:47:438 - I'm not sure about this finish.
00:53:382 (2,3,4) - Is this spacing change intentional?
01:03:746 (2) - Looks bad curved in that direction. I recommend curving in the other direction and making a blanket with 01:02:837 (4) - Example http://puu.sh/2ShUR.jpg
01:05:746 (1) - The flatness of this doesn't complement the rest of the pattern IMO. Try adding more of a curve to wrap around the previous part.
01:22:655 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Just looks random to me. I think it could be a lot better.
Ixxm's Insane
I will need to be a better mood to more accurately mod this. There's a lot of senseless speed changes and some parts were so slow it was affecting my ability to play. The slowest parts of the Insane should not be the hardest parts.
00:02:450 (3) - Use a better curve. Use the new slider algorithm. It should look similar to 00:04:995 (3) -
00:20:110 (2) - Move last point to x 112 y 199. I think it looks better entering the note curve that way IMO.
00:29:564 (5) - The misalignment here is bad. You should fix this.
00:39:746 (2,3,4) - This would look so much better if the pattern after 2 was placed where 2 is pointing. http://puu.sh/2Sjnf.jpg
00:41:928 (2) - Looks to curve unnecessarily inward. If anything it should curve like this http://puu.sh/2SjrW.jpg
00:43:382 - This slowdown had terrible flow.
00:45:746 (4) - Use a better curve here?
00:52:110 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - A spam of annoying hitsounds >.< also the jumps are faster than the slider speed of the slider right before them. I find that very awkward.
00:54:110 (4) - I consider this abusing slider velocities. Slowing down like this doesn't make any sense here.
01:17:201 (4,1,2,3,4,5) - Annoying.
01:18:473 (6,7,8,9,1,2) - Speed changes are unreadable and do not make any sense.
01:19:382 (9) - I feel this should be a single note.
Insane
There's probably a lot more things to be naziid about in this. I covered a large portion of the issues though.
00:04:632 (2) - I suggest a curve similar to 00:04:086 (5) - .
00:14:086 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - It's weird that the slider shapes keep changing. I recommend making it more consistent, especially here 00:14:631 (4,5,6) - 00:15:177 (6,7,8) - could use a pattern change. It's not that interesting.
00:28:837 (1) - I feel this doesn't look great in relation to slider 7. I suggest blanketing around the edge of 7 for a better pattern. http://puu.sh/2SkvK.jpg
00:29:564 (3,1) - Doesn't look that good either. Not sure how to fix though.
00:34:655 (1,2,3) - Spacing looks like an error to me. (Make sure this whole combo has consistent spacing)
00:49:928 (4,5,6,7,8) - This pattern just screws me up. Sliders are so slow. >.< it just kills the flow. i'm pretty sure it's because of that triple. I highly recommend removing the middle note, and spacing out. It plays a lot better.
00:58:655 (5,6) - Too close.
01:00:110 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Structure is shaky here. I feel that the notes don't form a cohesive pattern, despite first appearing like they were going to. also 4 and 5,6,7 look randomly placed.
01:11:746 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Structure is a bit off here too, but not as much.
Conclusion
I don't want to star this with the GD is such a poor shape. I would be willing to recheck, but perhaps after a mod or two.
