Hello
I'm actually going to make a complete Extra Stage mod because I'm really too lazy to mod the rest lol.
Just a few things before I start, my view on mapping is based a lot on BMS (kind of) patterns, pitch relevancy, and every possible sound I hear, so my mod will be based around these points. Do also note that I have not read the previous mods so I'm sorry if some suggestions have already been done and rejected.
Here we go :
1|2|3|4|5|6|7
00:00:853 (853|6,962|6) - So this does not actually plays bad, but it kind of feels clunky since it's the very beginning of the map and does not flow well due to the lack of "brutal sounds". I suggest removing the minijack somehow.
00:01:510 (1510|5) - Move it to 4 maybe? To catch a glimpse of PR and because it plays better than a bracket.
00:02:057 -
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3652443 just because PR but else it's ok
00:14:539 - to 00:21:546 - You might want to fill out the gaps located on the blue lines. The song gets more intense here due to the e.guitar coming in and plays over every 1/4 you can find in this part.
00:23:736 - This 1/8 is missing a e.guitar note.
------> Actually, 00:23:791 - to 00:23:955 - is 1/8, the e.guitar and drums are slightly off-sync. Just move down 00:23:791 (23791|5,23900|4) - these two notes by 1/8 and you should be fine.
Add a note on 1 at 00:23:955 - if you want to keep the 1/4 chords.
00:24:284 (24284|1,24284|5) - I suggest removing those and emphasize the strong sounds more here by adding a note on 2 at 00:24:174 - and on 1 at 00:24:503 -
----> Remove 00:24:941 (24941|5,24941|3) - and same thing, turn the 4 notes chords into 5 notes chords. 00:24:831 - and 00:25:160 -
00:25:816 - Definitely missing a note here lol. Review the pattern so it does not jack with 00:25:926 - .
00:26:035 - Missing a note.
00:26:473 - ^
00:28:444 - ^
00:29:539 - ^
00:30:634 - ^
00:31:729 - ^
Etc... I know what you're trying to do here but those apparently voluntarily missed notes irk me a bit.
00:32:860 - to 00:33:079 - Electric guitar is in 1/6, 4 notes, not 3 notes on 1/4.
00:33:809 (33809|0,33809|5,33809|3,34028|5,34028|0,34028|3) - Add a note to these twin chords to emphasize the stronger sound in comparison to 00:33:371 (33371|4,33371|6,33371|3,33590|3,33590|6,33590|4) - .
00:34:795 (34795|3,34795|2) - Remove if your not doing the same at 00:35:123 - 00:35:452 - Just consistency.
Same for the following one at 00:34:795 (34795|3,34795|2) -
00:39:941 (39941|5,39941|6,39941|3,40050|6,40050|3,40050|5) - no pls just no, not when you follow it with a bracket chordstream.
00:49:138 - Add a note on 3 / 00:49:795 - Add a note on 3
00:51:984 (51984|3,51984|5,51984|1,52094|0,52094|6,52094|4) - This however is worthy of having a jack.
00:53:736 (53736|6,53736|4,53736|1,53846|5,53846|2,53846|0) - ^
00:57:568 (57568|0) - Move to 6 for playability.
00:50:670 (50670|5) - to 3 and add a note on 6 at 00:50:889 -
00:51:108 - I suggest
this (inserted the 5 notes chord similarly to previous suggestion)
00:51:984 (51984|3,51984|5,51984|1,52094|0,52094|6,52094|4) - jack?
00:53:298 - Add note on 2
00:53:736 (53736|6,53736|4,53736|1,53846|5,53846|2,53846|0) - re-jack ?
00:55:050 (55050|1) - Move to 6, more playable and put more emphasize on the sound.
00:56:802 - Add a note on 3
00:57:897 - Add a note on 2
00:58:554 - ^ on 6
from 00:58:773 - to 01:00:306 - I suggest
this01:00:743 (60743|0) - Move to 3 and 01:00:743 (60743|6) - to 5
01:00:962 - to 01:02:057 - Ctrl + H the previous suggestion with the screenshot and copy/paste it on this section I guess.
Add notes on 01:02:824 - 01:03:152 - 01:03:371 - 01:03:700 - 01:04:028 - 01:04:247 - for the e.guitar. This part sort of lack those I feel.
01:05:670 - to 01:06:218 - the e.guitar would be more than welcome
Ok there comes the fun part that I really feels awkward about lol.
FIrst things first, try to avoid huge bracketing. It's more often than not simply not fun to play, especially when you have to use 1 and 2 or 6 and 7 repeatedly. Instead, prefer chords with notes stuck together. It's more comfy to play and does not remove any quality to the map.
I.e. : 01:06:218 -
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/3652521 This feels much better to play than full brackets, and it keeps the same density (heck I even put a bit of pitch relevancy in there).
01:09:612 (69612|6,69721|6) - rip in pieces, I guess you can remove 01:09:612 (69612|6) -
01:11:363 (71363|2,71473|2) - this one is fine since it's a simple triplet.
01:16:400 (76400|1,76509|1,76509|6,76619|6) - Errrr no.
01:22:641 (82641|6,82750|6) - ^
01:26:363 - Uuuuuh so many brackets, consider making this simpler with chords with notes next to each other.
01:27:787 - missing a e.guitar note
01:28:444 - 01:29:101 - 01:29:320 - 01:29:539 - etc ^ I wouldn't map only chord triplets here as far as I'm concerned.
01:31:181 (91181|2,91181|0,91181|1,91327|1,91327|2,91327|0,91473|2,91473|0,91473|1,91619|2,91619|0,91619|1,91765|4,91765|5,91765|6,91911|4,91911|6,91911|5,92057|4,92057|5,92057|6,92203|6,92203|4,92203|5) - those are cool I like. Might want to stick those 3 01:31:765 (91765|4,91765|6,91765|5) - to the left and move 01:32:349 (92349|1,92349|3,92349|2) - to the right if you want a balanced pattern.
01:33:809 (93809|2,93918|1,93918|2,93918|4,94028|1,94028|4) - cedisutgxcèiyshtdiguusjh
01:36:546 (96546|0,96655|0) - well you know how I feel about that I guess lol
This is very chordy, not that I don't like it but there are some major issues from my own point of view which may very well be different from yours and other mappers and modders, but that is what a mod is I guess. Anyways, good luck with your map !
