I changed the offset to 553. (Original 530 so +23 ms.)

Possibly a horizontal / vertical flip of notes set. I'm not sure, so, ignored.

Done.

-->try to fix the problem what AiMod reported (select "check distance snap")
I fixed only some of them because every note I placed, I really mean it to be there. So, I ignored distance snap.
But yes, AiMod also reported another errors. Fixed all of them.

-->try to avoid the half beat
Fixed all of them. Hopefully.

00:31:842 (1) - remove NC
I'm quite not sure about this one. But fixed.

Oops, my bad.

00:48:342 (4,1) - covered, try to move it out.
Ignored. I intended to place that.

Ignored, same as above.

00:44:030 (1,2,3,4) - distance

1. the timing isn't 100% correct.. I tried to find the correct one, but failed. cause I suck at tming myself, haha.
   maybe you could try get some help there: t/13795
   or there: t/128701/start=0
2. I noticed an osb file in the song folder, but there is no storyboard, you can delete it. (i think..)
3. just on a side note: you could use a higher grid level for more precision. imo it's easier to place objects with a correct and more consistent spacing that way.

   So, I ignored distance snap.

   uhm, you might consider this rude, so I'm sorry for that, but you should use it at least in Easy/Normal difficulties. I'm not saying you can't create a nice map without DS, but difficulties for beginners need this regularity to make playing enjoyable. They can't read a map like more experienced players do.. they move their mouse/pen at a steady speed, but if there is no regular spacing they have to move at different speeds, which is confusing and most likely the player will fail and won't have fun playing the map. but I'll get to that more in detail at 'Half'..
5. AIMod says your map need a Easy/Normal difficulty, cause the star rating of 'Half' is too high. you might want to consider adding an Easy diff or lowering the difficulty of 'Half'.
6. your overall volume of the hitsounds is too loud. >-< you can reduce it by 10~20% at least, it sounds more pleasant to my ears.

Half

I guess this is the Normal diff, so I'll treat it as one. ovo

1. OD-1 -> OD3 this is just my personal preference of keeping OD lower than AR.. |D
2. Distance Spacing! coming back to this, cause the way this diff is now is really confusing for beginners. in the beginning you might connive it, cause it moves really really slow (still is confusing though), but for example at 00:23:240 (3,4,5,6,1,2,3) .. well, you can't read the spacing it all. 1 will be clicked far too early, cause that is what the Distance Spacing indicates. you might want to read a bit about that here:
   https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Normal and https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Easy as well.
   I wanted to say more about this.. but I always have the feeling I sound extremely unfriendly when I do.. so yeah.. if you have any questions about DS or why it's (imo) necessary, you can pm me or write ingame. ><
3. another thing I noticed is the use of so many circles. Sliders are more 'beginner-friendly' than circles, so I tend to use more sliders than circles. you might want to use a few more as well. (:
   in the beginnig you could use a pattern like this one instead of just circles. it matches well with the beat as well. (:
4. also, since you do have rather high bpm, you might want to reduce the slider velocity to 1.00 or below.

I think this is enough for now, since there is quite a bit you can change with this.

Full

1. 00:00:928 (1,2,3,4,5) - even though this is a Hard diff, distance spacing is important as well. not as important as in lower diffs, but still this doesn't go with the flow of the movement.
2. maybe reduce the slider velocity here as well? you have pretty long sliders, for example at 00:48:365 (4) , 00:49:865 (1) and 00:54:365 (4) + following.. they do look rather random and are kind of missing character.. Don't know if you get what I mean but a slider like this one looks more interesting and 'characteristic' than just a slider that starts somewhere and just goes.. somewhere, cause it has symmetry.
3. overall your sliders do miss some shape.. it's always "randomly curved" ones or straight sliders, you need a bit more variety.
   there is a really nice tutorial how to make nice sliders, take a look here: t/37194

I guess 'Overbeated' is supposed to be Insane then?
It is actually quite similar to Full, though. If this is going to be the hardest difficulty, you can increase HP Drain and AR by 1.
But here it's the same thing as in the other diffs, the sliders and the distance spacing. :\

For a first map it's really nice, though, good job!
You can pm me anytime to check on this map once it's progressed a bit more.
Good luck with it! ^__^/

This version of Bramble Blast is a very nice song, isn't it?

I'll do a full (as in mod all difficulties, not just the 'Full' difficulty) mod later, but for now (because it's quite late), I think I'll stick with doing the information, as it's not very clear.

Artist: Michiko Naruke
Title: Bramble Blast - Super Smash Bros. Brawl Remix
Source: Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Tags: Nintendo Hal Laboratory Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy Kong's Quest DKC

The Title should be Bramble Blast - Super Smash Bros. Remix, I think this would prevent confusion with the original but it's up to you, as you could always put Bramble Blast and people would realise from reading the source that it's from Super Smash Bros. Brawl rather than from Donkey Kong Country 2.

What you add to the tags is up to you. I personally have no idea what Hal laboratory is and I would get rid of it, but it's up to you. You shouldn't have anything in the tags that is in the 'Artist', 'Title', or 'Source' lines, so whether you use Bros. in the Tags is dependent on whether it's in the other lines / categories.

For the Source, you can put Super Smash Bros. Brawl or Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but whichever you choose, make sure you add the relevant tag, eg. If you put Super Smash Bros. Brawl as the source, add Brothers to the tag and vice versa.

I know it says that Michiko Naruke is the arrangement supervisor, but that basically means that s/he supervised the remix of this song from the original, and so s/he is effectively the artist of this track.

As I've said, I'll mod this later, probably tomorrow if possible, so I'll be back soon.

Edit : I've finished modding every diff. Now open for mod again.

Mod as promised. I think BAT's will be unhappy if you give me Kudosu again, so don't bother for this one.
It's alright. You mod me twice. I give you twice.

General

Fix Tags so they match in all difficulties. AiMod says the Tags are different in Overbeated, so fix this asap. If you don't know how, I'll explain below:
When you are on the edit screen for a difficulty, press F4.
This should bring up the Song Setup menu, and the Tags box is the last line.

Remove Super Smash Bros. Brawl Bramble Blast from all difficulties, then add Brothers to all difficulties, and finally add Nintendo Hal Laboratory to Half and Full difficulties. This should fix the Tag problem.
The Beatmap Rules say that you can't have the same things in the Tags as in any of the other information, for the simple fact that it is just duplicating information, so get rid of the Tags mentioned above and make sure you do it for all difficulties.
Done.

Also, lower the hitsound volume to around 50%, it's quite distracting when you're trying to play imo.
Now 45%

Half

Use 1/2 Beat Snap Divisor?

00:13:860 - Add a note
00:16:872 - ^
00:19:862 - ^
00:22:860 - ^
All done.

00:26:230 (1) - Change to a slider that ends on the next white tick and then repeats once.
00:27:036 (2) - ^
Both done.

00:28:500 - Add a note
Done.

01:28:321 (4) - Make this slider end at the previous white tick rather than the red one, so it should become 1/1 length, not 3/2.
Yep.

Full

00:35:884 - I don't think you need 14 - 18, I think the violins or whatever start here and can take it to the break from here. Personal opinion though.
Personally I followed guitar sounds.

01:32:060 (5) - End this slider on the previous white tick so it's 1/1 not 3/2
Alright!

Overbeated

00:30:902 (1,2) - I don't think these 2 notes are needed imo
00:31:618 (4,5) - ^
00:33:203 (3) - ^ Maybe replace with 2 notes instead of this slider
It's a style of this difficulty. That's why it's called "Overbeated"

00:35:764 - Same thing as Full, I don't think you need 14 - 18, but that's my opinion.
Same reason as Full.

00:49:473 (4,5) - Don't think you need them
00:51:124 (2,3) - ^
Same as above.

Actually, this difficulty has a lot of these triplets and I don't think you'll get rid of all of them, so it may be best to turn the hitsound volume to a very quiet volume, maybe 20% so they don't overpower the song.

Overall, this beatmap is nice to play, and I hope this gets ranked soon.
Sorry for the bad mod, when you fixed the distance snap issues, that was most of my planned mod but never mind.

Actually, I'm re-mapping while you're modding this.

+1 AR
Done.

00:13:114 (2) - Jump from (1) to this is hard to read. I suggest put 00:12:739 (1) - at x:84 y:48
If you do the above suggestion, you should do the same with 00:15:739 (1) -
Fixed. - Remapped!

00:21:739 (1) - overlap is ugly
Fixed. - Remapped!

00:28:488 (2) - Previous is .85x and next is .92x . Might want to make it perfect
Fixed. - Remapped!

00:30:832 (1,2) - This is very hard to read. It looks like there should be a note here 00:31:020 - which of course doesn't match the music. Consider revising. I suggest to simply add more space on these sliders away from the previous circles: 00:31:113 (3,6) -
Fixed. - Remapped!

00:33:176 (3) - Consider adding some space from previous slider.
Fixed.

00:34:113 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18) - I think all this is too close together. CTRL+SHIFT+S and give it all 1.4x scaling to selection center. Then select this 00:34:301 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - and give it 2x scaling to its selection center. It should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/JaPeebt.jpg
Fixed. - In case of distant spacing, it's not 2x but maybe around 1.6x

01:32:052 (10) - All over you have anti-jumps like this and I just don't think it plays well at all...
I don't think I should put a jump here.
01:20:610 (3) - However, this anti-jump I'd approve of.

01:32:802 (1,2,3,4,5) - Scale this out. 1.5x selection center imo.
Fixed.

00:54:362 (4) - I think you can do something better with slider art. Consider remapping this part and make the long sliders look cooler
Fixed. - Hopefully.

Full

00:28:113 (1) - I don't like the antijump spacing here. But so far I like this diff so much more
I made it a little further from each other. By the way I don't think I should put a jump here.

00:32:613 (2) - Consider deleting since the guitar stopped 1/2 before this.
Nope.

00:34:301 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Looks very messy. Is this supposed to be a normal diff or hard diff? From the looks of the difficulty settings it's a normal. A normal shouldn't have these streams at all...
It's hard diff, bro. The Half one is Normal/

00:55:862 (2,2) - Ugly overlap
01:05:424 (5,7) - ^
01:39:739 (6) - ^

Half

00:17:802 (5,1) - 5 isn't snapped to 1 perfectly.
Because it's not in the same note group.

00:26:239 (1,2) - I suggest to part these away from eachother. Hard to read for a beginner with low AR.
Oops, I missed this one.

00:32:613 (3) - Consider deleting
Fixed. - I deleted one note there.

00:46:300 (6,7,1,2) - Ugly overlapping
Well, in case of small space / distant spacing. I need to leave it there.

00:49:862 (1,2) - Very ugly overlapping
Same reason as above.

01:25:677 (1) - Forgot to mod for hitsounds but be sure to add finish and stuff where you haven't. Such as here.
01:27:552 (3) - and here (but just slider head)
01:46:676 (3,5) - ^ slider end of 3 and head of 5.
(All) Nope. - I changed a hitsound to "Normal" (From "Soft") So, I don't need to change them anymore.

Overall flow is generally good, but aesthetically it doesn't look so good. Players won't want to play a map that doesn't have symmetry and pattern. And BATs won't want to look at maps that players won't like. So therefor I suggest seriously considering remapping lots of parts. Make sure you have proper DS and only use antijumps and jumps when it sounds right with the music!

All done. Hopefully.

-----------------------------------------------
I don't like forcing mappers to remap their whole beatmap. but i will just say is to remap the parts that doesn't make the player happy. but i see some patterns you did was great(for example: 00:23:614 (7,8,9,10,11) - and 00:34:301 (11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18) -) it flowed great.
Try to see some recent ranked maps in editor mode. It'll help you get new ideas for you! just be sure if it fits to your map.

Added.
00:28:113 (1,2,3,4,5) - Bad rhythm.
Changed.
...Unfortunately this diff still needs a lot of work I'm assuming this is a Normal/Easy diff, so try not to overuse the mini-slider,as they may be as bit diffult for new players (since it'll be hard for them to predict when the slider will end). Try using longer sliders instead :S
As for the rhythm, it's really repetitive, but I guess that's okay, since the rhythm doesn't seem to change until the chorus.
Some rhythm suggestions:
00:15:927 - 00:17:802
Hm? You mean I have to change these? :

Yeah, I know I shouldn't use mini slider. But in case of rhythm, I have to put it there. I'll try change it.

Thanks for small, but huge mod.
I'm currently looking on it. By the way, I don't see that the overuse of mini slider cause much problem in Overbeated diff. (But sure, in Half.) Of course it's not a problem, but when you overuse the minis-sliders a lot, it makes the rhythm look boring and easily predictable. You want to use various objects in order to make the rhythm look and sound more interesting. Be sure to check this page when you have time.

Good luck!
