Hi, thanks for visiting my queue.

woot second page

I'll cover both mods in this post

00:33:650 (3) - Whats with this weird shape without it blanketing anything

The original intention was to have a blanket around 00:32:050 (1) , but granted there's quite a big time difference.
Reworked the slider

GyroX20 wrote:

00:43:250 (3) - I don't know about the flow of this, consider changing it

Changed

GyroX20 wrote:

00:46:450 (3) - I don't like how this slider ends on another slider, this is optional though

Changed along with the previous sections

GyroX20 wrote:

Why make 01:04:050 (1,3,5) - angled but 01:06:450 (7) - curved

Changed to all curve sliders

GyroX20 wrote:

01:20:250 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5) - The flow here is a little weird and edgy

Slight tweak here
Nothing very major, hopefully that improves the flow

GyroX20 wrote:

01:38:650 - Place a circle here?

Didn't realize there was a sound there
Note added

GyroX20 wrote:

02:25:250 (3,1) - Could this be blanketed better?

Sure, lemme go tweak it
Argh it's a lot harder than I imagined screw it, used beziers instead

GyroX20 wrote:

02:27:250 (1) - Remove NC
02:27:850 (2) - NC

Gonna have to say no to this
02:27:250 (1,2) is similar to 02:20:850 (1,2) , but it doesn't feel right with 02:21:450 (2) having the NC instead of 02:20:850 (1)

GyroX20 wrote:

02:32:850 (3) - Stack this end with this: 02:31:650 (4) and also make the blanket with this: 02:33:250 (4) - More centered at the same time

But that would cause ugly overlap problems with 02:33:650 (1,1,1) D:
Never mind, I'll change it anyway

GyroX20 wrote:

02:46:350 (7,1) - This is a sharp corner, try to make the end of the stream lead to the slider

Changed
Now there's a gentler transition, but there's 9001 overlaps with the slider D:

GyroX20 wrote:

03:13:250 (4,5,6,7) - Thats quite a big jump, maybe make this: 03:14:050 (6,7,8,9) more centered

If you look closer it's not really "quite a big jump"; the distance between 03:13:450 (5,6) and 03:12:650 (3,4) is the same - 1.50x DS
03:12:650 (3,4) only seems closer because of sliders and stuff
So basically no change for now (though I might remap that part, it's pretty bad)

GyroX20 wrote:

03:23:250 (11) - NC
03:34:250 (12) - ^

Added on 03:23:250 (11) and 03:34:650 (13) instead of 03:34:250 (12)

GyroX20 wrote:

03:34:650 (13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23) - I like how you blanketed with a stream ^.^

tq

GyroX20 wrote:

05:55:050 - Add a circle here

Added, and did the same for 05:48:650

GyroX20 wrote:

06:04:850 (1) - What is this blanketing?

Umm, nothing?
Does it have to blanket something? :/

GyroX20 wrote:

07:06:850 (4,5,1) - Thats a very weird jump

Moved (5) to the midpoint of (1), so DS is 1.0x, there's no jump and (almost) everyone's happy

GyroX20 wrote:

07:20:450 (5,6,7,8,9) - You made the distance between (5) and (6) the same distance as the (6) (7) (8) and (9) jumps, i think you should rework that a little

ok done

Thanks for modding!

Eh.. the offset doesn't sound right. Change it to 40 or lower, depending on how it sounds better.

I tried offset 40, and it was quite obvious (on 25% speed) that the metronome was clicking earlier than the beats.
Offset 50 seems to be fine enough for me, so I'll leave it as it is

trammiexo wrote:

07:31:250 - According to AiMod, kiai time isn't snapped, neither is it's end 08:00:050. Fix it if you can

But according to what I have the kiai IS snapped at 07:31:250 and 08:00:050 :/


It could be due to messing with the offset earlier, but anyway I'm pretty sure they're snapped now.

trammiexo wrote:

00:58:036 - Combo is too long. NC at 00:59:636 (10)

In terms of time this combo is the same length as the others. Adding a NC would mess up the consistency.

trammiexo wrote:

02:46:038 (4,5,6,7,1) - Doesn't look neat to me. You can try moving the stream somewhere else

Moved the slider and stream down, and smoothed out the stream/slider transition.
It still doesn't look neat, even to me, so I'll find something better to replace it.

trammiexo wrote:

02:46:438 (1) - Sounds weird.. Maybe you should extend it to the white tick

It's already all on white ticks :/

trammiexo wrote:

03:08:638 (5,1) - Sounds like a beat is missing. Try putting moving your spinner and add a circle at 03:08:838 instead

Added
Also added note at 02:17:650 just because I can

trammiexo wrote:

03:31:638 - 03:35:638 extremely long combo

Added NC on 03:34:650 (13)

trammiexo wrote:

07:58:438 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Looks sloppy ;<

Yeah I made that in ~5 mins .-.
I'll try to think of something better

Thanks for modding!

Do really want to use default combo colours? Just asking.

00:59:250 (8) - NC for better sectioning
01:08:850 (1,2,3,4,5) - this doesn't really look great, try using a bigger distance spacing
01:12:650 (7) - Ctrl + G + H + J shape would flow/move better from 01:12:450 (6)
01:16:650 (3,4,5) - straight pattern looks neater
02:33:650 (1,1) - if only this wasn't the only objects that stacked, this wouldn't look random and stick out since I expected more stacks for this portion of the song
03:56:850 (1,2) - flow here is not smooth and breaks movement
04:39:250 (4,5,6,7) - the inconsistency in the spacing between 04:39:250 (4,5) and 04:41:050 (5,6) is very odd, either keep them identical, or space between 04:39:250 (4,5) wider
04:43:250 (4) - NC, NC at 04:44:850 (1) isn't really that appropriate
04:46:450 (5) - NC
04:52:450 (5,1) - slight, but blanket can be better
05:18:950 (2,3,4,5) - this turn in the streams looks really really bad, adjust the stream please
05:45:650 (1) - finish on start of slider
06:06:450 (5) - I would say that the jump should be between 06:06:250 (4,5) rather than between 06:05:650 (2,3) - this would feel weirder while playing
06:46:850 (2,3,4,5,1) - too much backward action in the flow here, a few times is fine, but too many in succession doesn't make for a really comfortable movement in flow
07:18:250 (7) - NC here instead of 07:18:850 (1)

Flow is just lacking in parts, I think you should re-look and see through that there is more connecting flow and movement between the objects, too much anti-flow is used at parts

There is room for improvement here in the aspects of flow and sometimes shapes, Good Luck

neonat wrote:

They're not default combo colours; the difference is quite small, but they're there for a reason. Them looking a lot like the default colours is just a coincidence.
Though I might consider more combo colours in the future.

neonat wrote:

00:59:250 (8) - NC for better sectioning

Fixed
EDIT: Reverted the change because it felt really inconsistent with the other parts, sorry

neonat wrote:

01:08:850 (1,2,3,4,5) - this doesn't really look great, try using a bigger distance spacing

Changed to 1.0x DS and tweaked the later portions accordingly

I get your idea, fixed both

neonat wrote:

You mean (5) blanketing around (1) or (1) blanketing around (5)? I'll assume the latter since it's uglier.
Fixed.

neonat wrote:

I've been planning to fix that for some time, so I guess I'll finally get down to it now.

Hi ~
M4M here.

[Godcat]

1. 00:26:450 (2,3) - I don't think there is a particular reason to change the spacing here. Why not 1,00 like the other sliders ?
2. 00:34:050 (4) - I'd suggest to curve it more to the top. It'll make a better transition to 3 -> 4. I mean something like this http://puu.sh/d2tqz/1c11f2a660.png
   Also, there is a irregular spacing between 4 and 5.
3. 00:54:450 (1) - I think this slider can have a better shape. Let's try something like this http://puu.sh/d2tt2/0905ee4586.png ? if you do so, don't forget to restack and spacing.
4. 00:56:050 (1,2) - your 2 circles are symmetrical with y axe. Too keep the symmetry with a good spacing, I'd suggest to move this one 00:56:850 (3) - to x:112 y:192. It'll also make a perfect triangle. Also if you do so, don't forget to adjust the spacing on next patterns.
5. 01:00:850 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4) - I can't see any good reason to abuse triplet like this.
6. 01:07:250 (1) - It's a way too curved here http://puu.sh/d2tx3/363637a82a.png
7. 01:28:850 (4,5,6) - is there any reason to use an irregular spacing on a pattern which follow the same curve ? I think using a regular spacing for those 3 notes is better.
8. 01:34:250 (6,1) - Use the same spacing as those one 01:33:850 (4,5) - ? It'll make a better square.
9. 02:01:650 - 02:20:450 - For this part, I think using Normal as sampleset for each drum sound would be good.
   
   I'd suggest to add them here

   02:01:650 -
   02:02:450 - don't forget to add soft as additions if you want to keep your whistle
   02:03:250 -

   02:16:050 -

   02:17:650 (7) -
   02:17:750 (1,1,2) -
10. 02:20:850 (1) - a finish here is overhitsounding to me. a soft whistle is a way better.
11. 02:22:450 (1) - Add a whistle, it's a strong piano note.
12. 02:24:050 - 02:25:650 - 02:26:850 (5,1) - 02:28:850 - 02:30:450 - 02:32:050 - ^
13. 02:35:250 - add a whistle for the strong string note ? You did it there : 02:36:050 - . So why not the other one ?
14. 02:36:850 - 02:38:450 - ^
15. 02:36:850 (1) - also, the loop can be better, Maybe try something like this ? http://puu.sh/d2tAn/1ddd76fe28.png . This one might be hard to reproduce, so I'll give you the code. Also, if you fix it, don't forget to restack.

16. 02:40:050 - 02:41:650 - 02:43:250 - 02:44:850 (1) - same as other strong piano note, add whistle.
17. 02:46:050 (4,5,6,7) - normal as sampleset instead of whistle sounds a way better.
18. 03:01:650 (4,5,1) - It's just my personnal opinion, but I'm not really a fan of a stack like this.
19. 03:12:050 - 03:35:650 - this part contain a lot of stream which is totality irregular and inconsistent with the map. Some don't fit with the music.
20. 03:52:850 (5,6,7) - It'd be better if you have to jump to clic 5 instead of 7. The note on 5 is a way higher/stronger.
21. 04:08:050 (1,2,3,4,5) - I don't really like stream with a flow like this D:
22. 04:09:650 (8) - add whistle ? I think it sound pretty good here.
23. 04:36:850 (1) - 04:37:650 - add whistle to both. There is a whistle here 04:38:450 - 04:39:250 - and on simular sound. So why not those one ?
24. 05:20:050 (1) - add finish with at least 80% volume hit sound. I goes well with the cymbal sound. Also if you do so, don't forget to add a green line with 40% hit sound here 05:20:150 -
25. 07:17:450 (5,6,7) - the spacing might be a bit confusing, but it's still ok to me. Idk about others.

well, that's all from me.
Good luck ~

I swear I made that a square before. I even used the polygon tool. As to why it can't stay a square, that is beyond me.
Reworked just for the heck of it, but it doesn't look like anything changed.

Right so you basically want me to replace soft-hitnormal with normal-hitnormal?
Did just that, but I felt normal-hitnormal was quite loud and I couldn't hear soft-hitwhistle anymore so I used a custom quieter normal-hitnormal.

Added whistle on beats 1,3,4.
It's more than what you specified above, but I thought it would be better to be consistent between measures.

Added whistle on beat 1 (downbeat), since that's where the un-hitsounded string notes are.

It pains me but I have to reject this. The new loop looks much too circular for my taste. I'd prefer something more teardrop-shaped. Also, it doesn't look very symmetrical to the naked eye. Sorry if you spent a lot of time making this
That being said, the current loop isn't perfect either. I'll tweak it to make it more perfect.
...painfully long time later...
Right, so I think I've reached the editor's limits. If anyone else complains about symmetry, go rotate this slider 54 degrees and check. Any more precision and I'll probably have to edit the .osu manually to set more decimal points.

1. 02:46:050 (4,5,6,7) - normal as sampleset instead of whistle sounds a way better.

Fixed
But I was lazy to mess with the volume with the normal sampleset, so I just pulled out the edited normal-hitnormal (aka soft-hitnormal3) which I made earlier.

Kin wrote:

1. 03:01:650 (4,5,1) - It's just my personnal opinion, but I'm not really a fan of a stack like this.

It's okay; I don't particularly like it either, so out it goes

Kin wrote:

1. 03:12:050 - 03:35:650 - this part contain a lot of stream which is totality irregular and inconsistent with the map. Some don't fit with the music.

If you delete the notes and listen closely to the music underneath you'll find out why I added those 1/4s.

Kin wrote:

1. 03:52:850 (5,6,7) - It'd be better if you have to jump to clic 5 instead of 7. The note on 5 is a way higher/stronger.

Fixed
Distance between (4) and (5) increased, distance between (6) and (7) decreased. (6) to (7) is still a jump, but it's very small (+0.2x difference).

Kin wrote:

1. 04:08:050 (1,2,3,4,5) - I don't really like stream with a flow like this D:

I tried to make it more difficult than the previous part, otherwise it might get boring. Sorry D:
I originally did that on CS4, where it was substantially easier. Now that it's CS5, it's a lot harder. I might decrease the angle of the zig-zag in future.

Kin wrote:

1. 04:09:650 (8) - add whistle ? I think it sound pretty good here.

Added

Kin wrote:

1. 04:36:850 (1) - 04:37:650 - add whistle to both. There is a whistle here 04:38:450 - 04:39:250 - and on simular sound. So why not those one ?

It's supposed to create the effect of building up, but after you brought it up they do seem very out of place. Fixed; after all, the volume and rhythm changes should be enough.

Kin wrote:

1. 05:20:050 (1) - add finish with at least 80% volume hit sound. I goes well with the cymbal sound. Also if you do so, don't forget to add a green line with 40% hit sound here 05:20:150 -

Agreed and fixed, but I think 80% is a bit too loud and sudden. Can you settle for about ~60%?

Kin wrote:

1. 07:17:450 (5,6,7) - the spacing might be a bit confusing, but it's still ok to me. Idk about others.

Not much I can do in that corner, but I'll try to make it as intuitive as possible.

"matt-likes-swords" = "kupo707" = Creator of Epic Battle Fantasy 4
http://epicbattlefantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Matt_Roszak

"EBF4" = Epic Battle Fantasy 4
Some people refer to the game via this acronym, so it's possible that it would get searched.

"HalcyonicFalconX" = "HFX" = "Phyrnna" = Halcyonic Falcon X, the composer
"HFX" is a simple abbreviation of the full name, which is occasionally used by others to refer to the composer.

"HalcyonicFalconX" (without spaces) is the name that the composer uses on Newgrounds and YouTube. It's highly likely that people interested would search this name (without spaces), so this tag is necessary for the map to turn up.

"Phyrnna" is the name that the composer uses to refer to herself (e.g. in posts etc.)

Dasheroo wrote:

Third: Display epilepsy warning, 'cause of your bg changes with sb on.

The changes aren't very big; at most there is a 0.125 opacity change over the span of 1/2 a beat. There's no violent flashing lights or stuff like that, so I don't think the warning is necessary.
If more people complain, then I'll reconsider adding it in.

I think the HP should be lowered given that this is a Marathon length map, you have a smaller than average CS, and that the lengths of your combos are fairly long. Either that or reduce the length of the combos and use CS4.

But granted, I did reduce the length of some combos since then, so re-HP+1 is not out of the question.

Thanks for modding!

hi there, mod from my queue!

General

1. background image should be 4:3 or 16:9 ratio = 1366x768px or 1024x768px
2. hitsounds seem overall a little quiet to me, but I'm not sure. consider inceasing volume by ~5-10% overall
3. combo colours are really bright, like waaaay too bright, imo. might be better to choose non-primary/-secondary colours.
   also, pure red blends with the background at some parts, it's better to avoid that
   example colours

   
   

   [Colours]
   Combo1 : 240,120,50
   Combo2 : 15,130,200
   Combo3 : 235,220,60
   Combo4 : 110,230,25

after first play: I have to admit that it feels very boring to play, cause it's just the same rhythm over and over again with little to no variety. I'm not saying it's bad, but you can improve it a lot by alternating rhythm, mapping to more beats in general and thinking of some more interesting patterns/slidershapes.
ofc I'll try to help you with what's listed below, but it might be a good idea to look at past ranked approved marathons and trying to figure out why they are so much fun to play.

1. 00:54:850 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - feels off, imo. the beat you're following is audiable on the blue ticks in-between too, so the breaks don't match. example of rhythm with more variation - http://puu.sh/da8BD/b6fae91c8c.png
2. 00:56:050 (1,2) - with the hectic 'atmosphere' provided by the previous pattern (no matter if it's the current one or the one I've shown as an example) just circles on white ticks feels empty. and there are ongoing sounds on the red ticks, so sliders match better here, I think
3. 01:16:950 (1,1) - the first spinner should end a tick earlier and the second one should start on the downbeat, cause the dominant sound the second spinner follows starts there.
4. 03:15:650 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - similar to what I mentioned above. the stream comes out of the blue and doesn't go well with the objects around this.
   first off, the sound it follows starts on the downbeat where 03:15:050 (5) - ends. so, imo, the stream should start there, too.
   if you don't want a stream that long, alternate the pattern similar to the example I gave above already. that most likely matches better with the diff, I think.
5. 03:21:650 (1,2) - similar to ^. the gap between 1+2 feels awkward, cause it's the same sound
6. 03:24:050 (2) - jumps feels off, there is no indicator for a jump, is there? I'd prefer if this were slightly closer to the prev object (maybe 2.0 DS instead of 2.9)
7. 03:24:850 - music gets louder here, shouldn't your hitsounds get louder, too?
8. 03:27:850 (4,1,2) - same about gap/stream as I mentioned already. I'm sure you can find a nice way to map these parts!
   //I'm lazy so I won'T point all of them out, but there are many parts where you only mapped part of a stream. check for yourself!
9. 03:31:850 (3,4,5) - stacks don't fit here, imo, cause the music's so lively and having this stacked and the following, too (03:32:650 (6,7,1,2,3,4) - ) is boring to play. please unstack them!
10. 03:36:450 (2,3) - jumps seems very exaggerated, it doesn't fit the monotonous melody. move 3+4 closer to 1+2
11. 03:53:450 (8,9,1) - why anti-jumps here? you stacked this normally before. o:
    (you don't have to change this, but it looks a bit off compared to the previous)
12. 04:09:650 (1) - wow, the break after this is WAY to long. I really wouldn't wanna play a map where I don't have anything to do for 30 seconds. breaks are for resting shortly, for re-adjusting aim and maybe for stretching your fingers for half a second. this overdoes it. :n
    imo, you should start mapping at 04:28:850, it's still 20 seconds, but that's better than 30.. and the organ (? sounds to me like an organ, might be wrong, Idk. anyway -) starts there, so it's a good point to end the break.
13. 04:36:850 (1,2) - and the following objects don't fit the melody, I think. the violin is more dominant than the other instruments, so you should stick to that. that would look more like this: http://puu.sh/da9Yr/fb429e2184.png and so on.
    I'd recommend to remap this short part. :n
14. 05:21:650 (1,2) - plays better when unstacked, imo
15. 06:08:050 (1,2,3) - music doesn't slow down, so the anti-jumps don't fit. use regular spacing?
16. 07:21:650 (1) - ctrl+g this for better flow

Sorry, I'm not experienced with marathons and harder difficulties, so the mod is rather short. Hope I was of some help, tho. :n
Good luck!

1. 03:36:450 (2,3) - jumps seems very exaggerated, it doesn't fit the monotonous melody. move 3+4 closer to 1+2

1. 03:53:450 (8,9,1) - why anti-jumps here? you stacked this normally before. o:

Yeah I know it's really inconsistent with what's been done before, but I thought I could get away with it. Since you pointed that out, I'll change it.
Changed to 0.5x DS like 03:59:850 (5,6,1) instead of stacking though.

1. 04:09:650 (1) - wow, the break after this is WAY to long. I really wouldn't wanna play a map where I don't have anything to do for 30 seconds. breaks are for resting shortly, for re-adjusting aim and maybe for stretching your fingers for half a second. this overdoes it. :n
   imo, you should start mapping at 04:28:850, it's still 20 seconds, but that's better than 30.. and the organ (? sounds to me like an organ, might be wrong, Idk. anyway -) starts there, so it's a good point to end the break.

Okay, mapped lots of 2/1 and 1/1 stuff. Pretty boring imo, but I guess still better than more break.

Squirrel wrote:

1. 04:36:850 (1,2) - and the following objects don't fit the melody, I think. the violin is more dominant than the other instruments, so you should stick to that. that would look more like this: http://puu.sh/da9Yr/fb429e2184.png and so on.
   I'd recommend to remap this short part. :n

I think I prefer it the way it currently is, progressing from 2/1 notes to 1/1 and eventually 1/2.

Squirrel wrote:

1. 05:21:650 (1,2) - plays better when unstacked, imo

I had to remap the part to get it fixed .-.
But at least it's fixed

Squirrel wrote:

1. 06:08:050 (1,2,3) - music doesn't slow down, so the anti-jumps don't fit. use regular spacing?

Going to keep this because... it's more 'boring' than the others?
Not quite sure how to explain this one. But you can see how the sound here is 2/1, where most of the other parts are at least 1/1 and above.

The slider size don't fit how the song goes, adjust to 4.5
01:33:250 (2) - Reposition this (will overlap when CS is adjusted)
You may need to adjust other slider blankets...
Also, find a custom hitclap. (Default feels too weird for me)

By "slider size" I assume you mean CS, If that's the case, changed.

I'll change it when I find a better one. I don't have a very big collection of custom hitsounds though.

Thanks for modding!

Heyho o/
Finally found some time to mod this as I promised
No KDs you gave me some already.
So let's start right away

Godcat
My first impression was that you're reusing quite many sliders which makes the map feel a little uncreative despite the fact that you do have many good patterns. (00:28:850 (1,2) - 00:34:050 (4,1) - 00:40:050 (3,1) - to name a few at the beginning opposed to 00:38:450 (1,2) - 00:42:450 (2,3,4,5,1) - etc)
Also CS5 makes the map feel a little empty due to the smaller size of sliders and circles so never increase AR any further pls HP and OD settings are fine. The ending is quite harsh compared the the rest of the map so I'm gonna try to give ideas how to balance this out.
You really chose a difficult song to map due to the lack of 1/2 at some points

Okay let's get this modded:
00:48:050 - I expected an additional beat right before the spinner here.
00:54:850 (2,3,4,5) - The 2 repeats are a bit unexpected and doesn't play that nice. What do you think about this? The guitar's tone is held so there's room to map to the background.
01:00:450 - Same goes here. My idea:
01:09:650 (3,4,5,6,7,1) - This could be a bit smoother (maybe put a jump?)
01:14:050 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - How about this?01:15:850 - Add beat
02:35:250 (1) - Why NC here?
02:42:650 - + 02:43:050 - Add beats
03:17:450 - ^
03:22:050 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - Listen closely here and you can hear that in the background it's not just a plain stream rather it's a doubles pattern here. (Similar to what i stated above). 03:28:350 - Add beat
03:34:450 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - This?03:52:650 (4,5,6,7) - Even out the spacing here to something 1,6x-ish
04:01:650 (1,2,3,4,5) - Make a perfect pentagon out of these. They almost look like one so why not making it perfect?
04:30:850 (2,4) - Remove
04:36:850 (1) - Remove NC
05:05:450 - Add beat
05:32:450 (4) - These are too squeezed together which makes them look ugly. Spread them out abit more
05:35:450 - ^
(Honestly I think that the part between 2nd and 3rd break is well done. Keep going like this )
07:06:850 (4,5,1) - This is not flowing so well. Put 5 to one of the sides of the slider but putting it on the trail causes weird movement imo.
07:17:450 (2,3,4) - Why such a low spacing? Better spread these out a bit more.
07:30:450 (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) - o.o
07:58:450 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1) - This is quite extreme as the very final pattern imo (Playable though)

Rethink of your spacing at some points, it doesn't make sense sometimes when you put the beats to close to each other. Besides, I see much good work here compared to my first look especially towards the end. Keep going and good luck

agreed, but it's hard to find a HFX song that isn't too repetitive and doesn't have too much 1/1

Unless I'm not listening closely enough, I do hear a sound effect every 1/4 beat, which is why I made a stream here.

I prefer my hitsounds to follow a more consistent pattern (except maybe when accenting some really unique part). If I add them on those notes only, it feels quite strange and out of place.

That's strange; previous modders tell me to up the volume and you're saying the opposite. I'll leave it as it is for now, but if the majority of modders prefers to reduce hitsound volume then I'll do it.

4anke wrote:

04:36:050 - you can't use the vol under 20%,the rule isn‘t be allow

As far as I know the only thing unrankable about hitsounds is a completely silent hit. Lowered volume is still fine as long as it's still audible to a reasonable extent.

Unsnapped green line at: 04:54:475 - snap to 04:54:450 ,05:20:075 - snap to 05:20:050

There's already a green line at 04:54:450 (which gives a volume increase for the finish hit) and the line at 04:54:475 is to bring it back down to normal volume. You might have missed it because it's hidden below the blue bookmark line, sorry D:

Same goes for 05:20:075

Spinner will look very lazy. I mapped that part with sliders and stuff.

Side note to self: This is turning into quite the drain section :/

4anke wrote:

02:42:650 (2,3,4) - why there are too close?

I don't see any better way to put them without overhauling all the notes. Should be perfectly readable by my reckoning, the previous notes don't suggest any 1/4s and even then there's the whole 2/1 slider to notice it and prepare.

Thanks for modding!

Ohh a marathon, I like modding these.

[General]

-An additional red combo colour would be nice, since you have one combo colour for each of the people's hair there + the little blue thing. Just a suggestion though.
-Countdown is unnecesary I believe

[Godcat]

00:28:850 (1) - Feel better to play if you move it a bit down like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/2365977. I'm also pretty sure having 3 return long sliders on a hard/insane diff is both unnecesary and confusing, maybe delete one return and add a note at both of these sliders?
00:34:050 (4) - This slider creates a problem with hitsounds. You see, in order to follow the music a lot better, you should move it to 00:34:450 - , so it sounds well with the whistles and the music. Like this: http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/2365985. Then delete the whistle from its end and the clap from its start, leaving just the whistle throughout the sliderslide.
00:36:850 (3) - Could be more curved?http://puu.sh/dCnH6/fb20c6a4dd.jpg
00:35:250 (1) - Delete whistle from end because of the same as that suggestion vvvvvv below
00:42:450 (2) - Delete whistle. You see, you are using whistles to follow the... whatever that is in the music, the main melody. Here there is none.
00:43:250 (3) - Also delete whistle from the end
00:55:250 (6) - Feels really uncomfy while playing. Look: http://puu.sh/dCnQA/9807dc8ad7.jpg /// but something like this feels good http://puu.sh/dCnWD/2725636d09.jpg
00:56:850 (3,4,5) - I know you wanted to stack (3) with (1) and changing this would fuck it up buuuut... it feels weird, specially since it's a triplet: http://puu.sh/dCo2O/76b4bba0f2.jpg . What I think you can do here is this, and you would leave (5) stacked under (1): http://puu.sh/dCo9M/519dd32aaf.jpg
00:58:050 (2) - Maybe it's too close to (1)?
01:03:950 (9) - Move a bit down http://puu.sh/dCodq/0911089014.jpg
01:10:350 (7) - This one too, to x144 y56
01:12:850 (3) - I don't really like this shape, considering it's the first red-dot-shape you've got here and creates weird looks with 01:12:050 (1) - .
01:15:050 (10) - http://puu.sh/dComP/27aa883aac.jpg ?
01:16:050 (3) - http://puu.sh/dCop2/758c20d88f.jpg ? of course move the triplet afterwards
01:20:250 (1) - I think soft hitsounds with a normal hitsound at every snare the drum has (atm those snares are normal claps) would sound better. Use sounds samples where the claps are the template's skin normal-hitnormal. (up to 01:47:250 (1) - )
01:22:450 (5) - Improve the flow http://puu.sh/dCouU/6692584d15.jpg
01:26:650 (2) - Should move to the left for more consistency with the previous slider, look it looks better: http://puu.sh/dCoxv/fea9387793.jpg
01:34:450 (1) - Improve flow http://puu.sh/dCoBW/00fadc138e.jpg Then copypaste for (4)
01:47:250 (1) - Unnecesary whistle?
01:47:850 (6) - Would play better with the music if you put 2 notes instead of a slider... and make em jumpy too
02:05:650 (2) - Make it just straight? The next 2 sliders are okay because they are twins, but this one feels out of place
Also you should move 02:07:250 (4) - To the right. Sure, it's DS'ed like you have it now, but sliders don't work like notes. you see, nobody moves up til the end of the slider if said slider is short, instead you leave the cursor somewhere like.. midway through the slider. That midway point is what you should consider the actual "note" the slider represents in terms of spacing. This is what me, you and everyone else will do while playing: http://puu.sh/dCoYb/8a2a5c3b4e.jpg . As you can see, the red line represents the cursor movement, and you will have to move the cursor faster from (2) to (3) than from (3) to (4). I know I just described a counter-intuitive concept, but you gotta think outside the editor, the map is for playing. Try to playtest it and you'll see. Catch me in-game for further discussion on this topic so I can explain myself better.
02:01:650 (1) - Btw are normal hitsounds this loud necessary here? Maybe make em a bit lower?
02:25:650 (1) - I don't really like the shape but I guess it is not something that bad, you can either change it to a normal curved shape or leave it like this. Btw you finally used the soft hitsounds here, I like it.
02:27:850 (2) - Confusing spacing?
02:36:850 (1,1) - Better blanket http://puu.sh/dCpdM/c95f786b06.jpg
02:42:650 (2) - If you make an antijump here, also make it in the previous pattern, since the music does the same thing, I see no reason for an antijump here but not before
03:07:250 (3,4) - http://puu.sh/dCpm9/2450d3524d.jpg or something like that?
03:15:650 (2) - I'd move the end to x392 y162
03:20:450 (1) - While playtesting, this note kinda fucked me up because of the curve it creates, the player thinks it's a straight line with (9)-(1)-(2) like you have been doing before.
03:33:650 (4,5,1) - Something like this flows much better http://puu.sh/dCpyx/0e98a13241.jpg
03:40:850 (1) - Move closer to (7), the spacing is unconsistent with the rest of the stream, this happened because of the SV change but it the spacing on this note should change
03:48:050 (3,4,5,6) - I'd rotate this triangle so it flows better with the next slider: http://puu.sh/dCpEp/f937e16910.jpg
04:03:050 (7) - Move to x372 y178 for consistent spacing
04:08:050 (1,2,3,4,5) - Yeah this is super uncomfy to play
04:48:050 (1) - Again 2 repeat sliders :/
05:02:050 (3) - I'm pretty sure stacking the repeat under another object is borderline unrankeable

Nothing else to say, nice job, I don't really like your hitsounds though, most of the times I wouldn't have used normal samples and normal whistles but it's up to you.
Good luuuuuuck :3

Sorry my mod took so long :/
But here it is!
And like every mod, these are just suggestions, so ignore them or correct me, if you think I'm wrong with something.

  I think the countdown isn't necessary.
  02:25:250 (3) - If you move that to X344 Y256 it would blanket with - 02:23:650 (4)
  02:42:650 (2,3,4) - Why are these so close. It could be confusing if the distance is the same as these - 02:46:050 (4,5,6,7)

This map is great! I didn't found anything to criticize! Take this! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ ~`☆

finally found some time to read through all this

Thanks for modding, both of you! Now, to write one of my longest posts ever

-An additional red combo colour would be nice, since you have one combo colour for each of the people's hair there + the little blue thing. Just a suggestion though.

I actually didn't think about it that way. Now that you mention it, it does make sense. Changed.

Snepif wrote:

-Countdown is unnecesary I believe

But I think it's still okay to leave it there. Not like it's unrankable or anything.

Snepif wrote:

00:28:850 (1) - Feel better to play if you move it a bit down like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/2365977. I'm also pretty sure having 3 return long sliders on a hard/insane diff is both unnecesary and confusing, maybe delete one return and add a note at both of these sliders?

Changed and changed

Snepif wrote:

00:34:050 (4) - This slider creates a problem with hitsounds. You see, in order to follow the music a lot better, you should move it to 00:34:450 - , so it sounds well with the whistles and the music. Like this: http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/2365985. Then delete the whistle from its end and the clap from its start, leaving just the whistle throughout the sliderslide.

I get your point, changed stuff around a bit

Snepif wrote:

00:36:850 (3) - Could be more curved?http://puu.sh/dCnH6/fb20c6a4dd.jpg

Snepif wrote:

00:35:250 (1) - Delete whistle from end because of the same as that suggestion vvvvvv below
00:42:450 (2) - Delete whistle. You see, you are using whistles to follow the... whatever that is in the music, the main melody. Here there is none.
00:43:250 (3) - Also delete whistle from the end

I think I get what you mean. Changed, and also fixed these notes:
00:28:850 (1,3)
00:36:850 (3)

EDIT: While testplaying today, this part felt REALLY off to me, so I decided to revert this change. Sorry

wow 1 grid adjustments
fixed anyway

Snepif wrote:

01:12:850 (3) - I don't really like this shape, considering it's the first red-dot-shape you've got here and creates weird looks with 01:12:050 (1) - .

Changed to something else, but I honestly don't know if this (the new slider) is better :/

Snepif wrote:

01:15:050 (10) - http://puu.sh/dComP/27aa883aac.jpg ?

Though a blanket would be good, I think it's better to have (10) identical in shape to 01:14:850 (9)
Besides, the blanket isn't very significant.

Snepif wrote:

01:16:050 (3) - http://puu.sh/dCop2/758c20d88f.jpg ? of course move the triplet afterwards

Changed to something like that
Might improve it a bit further in future

Snepif wrote:

01:20:250 (1) - I think soft hitsounds with a normal hitsound at every snare the drum has (atm those snares are normal claps) would sound better. Use sounds samples where the claps are the template's skin normal-hitnormal. (up to 01:47:250 (1) - )

that... is actually a REALLY great idea.
changed and also changed at 03:40:850
and also swapped normal-hitnormal with some other hitsound I managed to find

Also removed at 04:08:050 (1) for consistency

01:47:850 (6) - Would play better with the music if you put 2 notes instead of a slider... and make em jumpy too

Changed

Snepif wrote:

02:05:650 (2) - Make it just straight? The next 2 sliders are okay because they are twins, but this one feels out of place

Deleted the white node, but kept the red node.

Snepif wrote:

Also you should move 02:07:250 (4) - To the right. Sure, it's DS'ed like you have it now, but sliders don't work like notes. you see, nobody moves up til the end of the slider if said slider is short, instead you leave the cursor somewhere like.. midway through the slider. That midway point is what you should consider the actual "note" the slider represents in terms of spacing. This is what me, you and everyone else will do while playing: http://puu.sh/dCoYb/8a2a5c3b4e.jpg . As you can see, the red line represents the cursor movement, and you will have to move the cursor faster from (2) to (3) than from (3) to (4). I know I just described a counter-intuitive concept, but you gotta think outside the editor, the map is for playing. Try to playtest it and you'll see. Catch me in-game for further discussion on this topic so I can explain myself better.

Changed. I get your point, no need to elaborate further.

Snepif wrote:

02:01:650 (1) - Btw are normal hitsounds this loud necessary here? Maybe make em a bit lower?

Turned the volume down a notch, also nerfed the volume of the hitsound itself

Snepif wrote:

02:25:650 (1) - I don't really like the shape but I guess it is not something that bad, you can either change it to a normal curved shape or leave it like this. Btw you finally used the soft hitsounds here, I like it.

I guess I could probably do something about the end portion, but I'll wait and see if more modders complain

Snepif wrote:

02:27:850 (2) - Confusing spacing?

nah, if you can't read this note you probably shouldn't be playing this map

Snepif wrote:

02:36:850 (1,1) - Better blanket http://puu.sh/dCpdM/c95f786b06.jpg

Fixed, but I think 02:38:450 (1) lost some of its symmetry. (let's hope it still looks fine)

Snepif wrote:

02:42:650 (2) - If you make an antijump here, also make it in the previous pattern, since the music does the same thing, I see no reason for an antijump here but not before

did that because I didn't have anywhere to place the notes
then I realized I could mess with the shape of 02:41:650 (1)
so basically now it's fixed, but it probably isn't the prettiest thing on the planet

Snepif wrote:

03:07:250 (3,4) - http://puu.sh/dCpm9/2450d3524d.jpg or something like that?

I think I prefer it the way it is presently.
Though there's definitely room for improvement; I'll try to think of something better.

Snepif wrote:

03:15:650 (2) - I'd move the end to x392 y162

how does one even get y162 nvm, fixed/changed by turning grid snap off

Snepif wrote:

03:20:450 (1) - While playtesting, this note kinda fucked me up because of the curve it creates, the player thinks it's a straight line with (9)-(1)-(2) like you have been doing before.

So basically there's bad flow around 03:20:450 (1,2,3) - ?
Shuffled the notes around, now it should be better

Snepif wrote:

03:33:650 (4,5,1) - Something like this flows much better http://puu.sh/dCpyx/0e98a13241.jpg

Changed

Snepif wrote:

03:40:850 (1) - Move closer to (7), the spacing is unconsistent with the rest of the stream, this happened because of the SV change but it the spacing on this note should change

SV change? What SV change?


The spacing problem is probably due to grid snap not liking my face. (0.99x compared to 1.03x, which might be quite significant)
Fixed it anyway

Snepif wrote:

03:48:050 (3,4,5,6) - I'd rotate this triangle so it flows better with the next slider: http://puu.sh/dCpEp/f937e16910.jpg

Snepif wrote:

04:08:050 (1,2,3,4,5) - Yeah this is super uncomfy to play

Reduced the angle in the stream, now it should have a larger 'overlap area'.
But it comes at the expense of having to move faster overall.

Snepif wrote:

04:48:050 (1) - Again 2 repeat sliders :/

Broke them up into other stuff, hope it doesn't get too weird.

Snepif wrote:

05:02:050 (3) - I'm pretty sure stacking the repeat under another object is borderline unrankeable

I'm pretty sure that arrow is readable to most. Though if more people complain then I'll do something about it.

05:08:050 (2) - Move the first dot a bit to the left, then copypaste for the next one http://puu.sh/dCpQn/24c7d36cdb.jpg

how much is "a bit"? nvm found out "a bit" meant 1 grid
Oh and by the way, "the next one" won't fit in the space at the bottom of the screen. I had to rework the section a little.

Thanks again for modding!

Hello! M4M from my queue! I've spent almost two hours just to download just one single beatmap... rip my internet T_T

Daawww, more EBF/HFX songs~ let's keep up! ^w^/

I hope to see more HFX songs like this one~ Good Luck for app! \:D/

For some reason the download button kept giving me an error

Diff:
00:39:250 (2,3) - There's no notable change in the music, but it's still reduced spacing?
02:11:250 (1) - Try avoiding multiple repeats like that

1. 03:55:050 - Add a circle here? the piano sounds a bit intense.

I used a bit of 1/1 here because there's a new sound here, and I tried to make a 'hold' effect with the sliders. Anyway there's the rest of the section to show the "intense piano"

I (intentionally) reduced the spacing here, because the music after it is all quiet and stuff. 04:09:650 itself doesn't even have a drum hit or anything, so it's a really weak note. It'll be awkward to have a big jump, then not have anything significant at the end of the big jump.

1. Random frozen sliderend.
   
2. SB/Epilogue's use length is debateable with the outro length. 08:32:050 seems like a good time to end the actual map if you were using the BG. That's a full 30 seconds to give the 'epilogue' feel' after this marathon imo. Much more uses up space.
3. Awesome storyboard <3

Good luck! It looks great overall and I hope to see it starred up more soon. It deserves it. I may even be back to watch this map :3

Forum PM me when the changes in the above mod are applied and I'll give 1st bubble.

That's okay, I haven't been very free these few days either.

In terms of flow, I have improved the flow from (2) to (3) and (5) to (6).
In terms of distance, however, I think it's better as it is currently. I'd prefer the distance overall in 01:09:650 (3,4,5,6) to be increasing, or at least nondecreasing. In your suggestion, the distance from (5) to (6) is ~1.50x, which is a drop from the 2.00x in the previous notes.

So basically, apart from some flow improvements, the pattern is mostly the same.

I'd prefer the NC to be on the downbeat, as with all the other NCs. Changing it here would make it very inconsistent.

Changed. (1) was hastily tacked on to the rest of the stream, so it looks quite bad.
01:15:250 (1) - is a bit far from those notes. I shaped the stream to wrap around 01:12:050 (1,3) instead.

Fixed
Also changed some of the later notes, because I can.

Rotating selection around -60 degrees will make the repeat arrow covered under 02:45:250 (2) , which will cause much hate and unrankability.
Moving it to x:332 y:324 will cause a (2x spacing) jump, which isn't that justified given that 02:45:450 is a fairly weak note.

So, not much change here.

Curve provides a bit of flow change at 03:16:750 (8,1)

Not too sure what you mean here.

I'll still end the map at 08:00:050 - after the 'bang' that is 07:58:450 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1)
Furthermore, I don't think anyone will want go through 30 seconds of annoying 2/1 notes just to pass/fc the map, after completing the rest of it. I think just listening + the BG is sufficient to give the "epilogue feel", and players can skip to the scores once they've had enough.

The epilogue BG is intended to last until the end of the song, replacing the default BG completely. The fade out at the last 4 measures is to prevent it from suddenly disappearing, if anyone cares to listen that far.



By the way, it's great that you elaborate in your mod, so mappers will understand the rationale behind suggestions. Giving the coordinates for each note is also very helpful. Keep it up.

Thanks for modding!

-- Remove thumbs.txt if it's not being used.
-- "halcyonicfalconx" isn't really needed for tags since it alreadys exists in the artist.

00:35:050 (6) - Spacing can be better.
01:10:050 (5,6) - This jump is too excessive relatively to the surrounded part of the map. Reduce spacing please.
05:00:850 (1) - Use the blue combo color directly since red would get merged with the sb image, causing reading issues. http://puu.sh/esoU9/3ff8ce2504.jpg
05:13:650 (1) - ^
05:23:250 (1) - Spacing can be better.
06:09:250 (4,5,1) - Setting these notes as an individual combo would be better in reading.

There's no thumbs.txt on my side, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't hidden or anything.

Sonnyc wrote:

Yes, it's needed. Try looking for Crystalis Fantasia with "halcyonicfalconx" (without the spaces). I included this as a tag because people may write the artist name either way, but this is the 'more correct' one of the two.

Moved one grid to the right. Hey, it fixes a blanket with 00:34:451 (5) too.

ugh this section again
Changed, so the DS is all kept under 2.00x.

Made the spacing closer to 1.00x, should be fine now

Sonnyc wrote:

Won't take this, sadly.
Everywhere else, NCs are added on (or immediately after) every downbeat, or every other downbeat in slower sections. Adding NCs here would break the consistency, and I think that might affect quality.
Also, I don't really see how (1,1,1) would be more readable than (4,5,1). Wouldn't the combo numbers form a bit of a visual guide, improving readability?

Thanks for modding!

In fact, it was a Thumbs.db which doesn't have to get removed.
Source seems fine for me http://epicbattlefantasy.wikia.com/wiki ... _Fantasy_4 also the title. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/music ... d601433700

All seems fine enough. Enjoy approved~

Better than what i've seen it before... Awesome Job! More HFX! :3/

Congratz

congratulations!

Awesome you made it! Glad to see more HFX ranked!

Congrats

Thanks everyone!

Also a big thanks to everyone who modded.

(sorry for double post)

Uhh guys, sorry to spoil the party but I found a very small problem in the map.

06:02:450 (2) - Missing whistle on slider end. This really spoils the consistency of the hitsounds.


I have no idea how this managed to get past everyone, but that doesn't change the fact that the problem's there. I'll contact a QAT to get this fixed. Yes, that most probably means a disqualification. Hopefully that won't affect the BATs' BAT score too much, I really don't want this to cost them their BATship D:


Finally, one last apology to the players that have their scores wiped (if there's really no way other than a DQ). That's one of the risks of playing maps in Qualified status, and as much as I'd like to avoid it, it has to be done.

I'll try my best to get this re-qualified by the end of this week.

tell me when you fix it

No problem Your Good Self, you can ask for me a recheck too :3

I wonder if self-DQ will be counted in the BAT score...
