Hello!For M4M Request~

General

Lol why is the OD 6,its only 2 stars xD,you might wanna put it at 5

Reflection of Disruption

02:06:127 (2) - Shorten this slider so it ends on 02:06:589
02:07:051 (3) - Then extend this slider so that it starts on 02:06:820 instead,try it out! I kinda want to keep following this rhythm, but I can see what you mean
02:12:820 (3,1) - This two looks quite compact,increase the distance a little
03:17:435 (2) - Stack this with 03:19:051 (3) -
03:57:357 (3) - Make this slider start on 03:57:141 <- The sound starts there The violin does, correct, but the piano does not
04:31:511 (2) - Fix blanket with 04:30:588 (1) - slider tail
04:38:204 - This empty space here is so awkward lol,you might wanna add stuffs here Too little breakt time, and there is nothing you can just start it on, I prefer waiting for the new stanza
05:19:049 (3) - I think this can be blanketed more nicely with 05:19:511 (1) -
05:41:204 (3) - Check Distance snap since its like a normal difficulty. Insane/Extra difficulty=What is Distance snap? XD It's only a 0.06 change, which is almost nothing
06:20:204 (2) - I recommend you replace this slider with a note on 06:20:204 and a slider on 06:20:434 as there is a sound on 06:20:434,listen to 50% speed,there is like a low dragging sound there,would be good for a slider

Nice and clean map~Still surprised that there would be a 2 stars difficulty for this song xD

That's all from me!Good luck with your map!

Awesome map, man! This map is crazily good with the rhythm and slider forms! This definitely deserves ranked! These are my picks for changes but you don't have to change anything if you wish, the map is already great!

02:05:666 (1,2,3) - Maybe add (1) to the previous combo and put (2,3) into a new combo I guess you mean (2,3) together right? If so, I applied that
03:13:974 (1) - Move this more to the center/move it closer to the other slider (since that one is more centered) I need to think about Distance here as well
03:33:820 (3,1) - Put these into a new combo (it fits the music more) I prefer to be consistent with NCs in lower diffs
(Only if you want to, not that necessary) 03:41:204 (3,1) - Put these in a new combo ^^
03:45:589 (1) - 03:50:896 (1) The part between the two objects is empty which seems weird. If you don't fill it with objects then I suggest removing all objects until 04:01:973 (1) which makes the break longer and more fitting to the music Correct, but due to spinner recovery I need to wait multiple beats, and then starting at an offbeat piano feels even more weird then this large gap
04:04:742 (3,1) - If you listen closely, the 2nd slider (it's start) doesn't fit to the music well. I wouldn't know how to fix that but try removing/ modifying the first slider I honestly can't hear the rhythm properly at all, it's too soft >_> Therefore I want to keep the rhythm as simple as possible
04:36:242 (1,1) - The break in between the two objects seems unnecessary and odd as well. This time I would suggest just filling it up with objects. This one is actually the shortest break allowed (if you see this as an easy), which is 4 beats (but BPM is doubled, so 8 beats recovery)
04:52:280 (3,4) - Here put the two into a new combo
05:26:434 (3,1) - Put these two into a new combo
05:34:280 (1) - Add this to the previous combo It's fine, as it's consistent
05:46:280 (3,4) - Put these in a new combo
05:48:588 (3,1) - Put these in a new combo (Here (1) doesn't really belong to the other notes in it's combo/05:49:050 (1,2,3) don't fit together)
05:52:973 (1,1) - Like before, the break between these two objects seems unnecessary and odd. Add objects in here to fill the gap And again this break is required
Optional: Instead of 06:22:280 (1) you could add in a spinner

I really had fun modding this, it was a great map! Continue making maps like this and your maps will be known everywhere, I mean it! Keep the great maps up!

1. 02:59:204 (1) - this is the only slider i've noticed that didn't really look too good (a little unaesthetically pleasing). could have more curves and turns to it. it feels a little long like it is.
2. 03:47:434 - probably intended, but this long pause feels like there could be something there. or maybe you could put an actual break time? (it's probably too short for one but it would feel better)
3. 03:57:127 (3) - something like this?. the (3) probably feels too close to the (2) but most of these sliders follow the violon, so it would feel better?
   And also towards this part, it would be cool if all the sliders and notes would follow the violon since it's like the strongest noise. because something like 04:04:280 (2,3,1) - this doesn't really make all that sense to me.
4. 04:38:204 - another long pause, idk if that was intended or not but i just don't think it feels right ;w; and maybe the spinner at 04:36:242 (1) - could be replaced with some notes or something, it would follow the song better rather than having a random pause.

edit: made it more readable

1. Song Folder: Your BG is well over a MB in size and taking up much more space in the beatmap folder than it needs to. Here's a space-saving version with minimal loss in quality - boop
2. Song Setup: No issues
3. Metadata: No issues
4. Timing: For the purposes of this difficulty, I'd like to propose making the timing section at 04:12:702 - ~74BPM so that you can snap 04:12:702 (1) slider end to the red tick for the piano sound there. The current slider ending right before the piano on a much less noticeable guitar sound feels really weird, and since you're not using Tick Rate 2, the piano sound on/near the red tick in this slider has no audio feedback, so feels much less strange "unsnapped" in this sense. This might be incorrect/unrankable/impossible in theory or practice of course, so get some more opinions on what the best course of action is here
5. Hitsounds: Both soft sliderwhistles are unused (unless you have some sampleset changes using the sidebar instead of inherited points that I missed) so unless you're planning to do something with them (or you already are) they can be removed
6. AImod: No issues

1. 00:06:820 (1,1,1,1,1,1) - So this is interesting and all but is 12 seconds of pmuch continuous spinning the best way to start out in a Normal diff marathon? This is highly likely to tire out players before the map has even begun. Maybe it's a bit conservative, but I think 3 circles on downbeats followed by the long spinner 00:10:513 (1) - would be more appropriate here. If you end that spinner at 00:13:513 - to give ample recover time, and then use the same 3 circles on downbeats + spinner at 00:17:897 (1) which you can then extend to it's full length at 00:20:897 - you could make this much more fitting to the intended difficulty
2. 01:21:820 (3,1) - (1) would be better off blanketing the slider body of (3) rather than the tail, since the repeat on (1) is rather close to that slider - Example: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/4813649
3. 01:45:358 (3,4) - Are these intended to be ever so slightly bent/curved? I think parallel horizontal sliders would look neater, especially since at the moment the two are very close to overlapping
4. 01:49:051 (3,4) - Blanket would be neater here with a smooth curve like 01:49:974 (4) -, no? Red anchor point creates a roughness that looks a little messy
5. 02:00:127 (1) - Could increase the curve on this slightly to bring the body away from 01:58:281 - head
6. 02:06:127 (2) - Feels weird for the strong sound on the tail to not be clickable, I feel like splitting this into 2/1 slider + circle would play better considering the sound this slider is mapping ends (save for the background guitar) on the downbeat anyway
7. 02:12:820 (3,1) - I don't dislike the wiggle on this slider, even if my nazi side is screaming for a smooth curve to blanket, but could you separate the two objects a tiny bit more? The wiggle brings their borders rather close to overlapping
8. 02:17:666 (2) - Same as 01:49:051 (3,4)
9. 02:25:051 (2,1) - (1) can be curved slightly less for a more even sliderbody blanket. Same at 02:27:820 (1,2) - since I assume you copy/paste/flipped these
10. 02:42:589 (1,2) - Think the lengths of these two should be swapped around to emphasise the strong guitar sound with whistle at 02:43:512
11. 02:51:128 (2,3) - This flow change is quite awkward considering how smoothly the previous patterns have flowed. Ctrl+G 02:51:820 (3) would flow much better but then you have to find some way to rework this back into your next patterns, since 02:52:974 (4) will be at the "wrong end" in its current position... Keeping 02:49:974 (1,2,2) in their current positions, how about something like this- https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/4813849 ? (I dropped AR to show the pattern better, repeat of (3) is stacked with tail of 02:49:974 (1) -)
12. 02:55:051 (3,1) - A little more distance between these two in terms of the border separation would look neater and more consistent considering the separation between 02:55:512 (1,2)
13. 03:12:127 (1) - Might overlap with some skinned HP bars and the slider tail is technically outside the grid. I think 03:11:666 (5,1) - could be moved down and to the right slightly to avoid this
14. 03:41:666 (1,3) - Would ideally want these to be moved up slightly to form a more even blanket with the body of 03:42:127 (2) - Example: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/4813913
15. 04:07:973 (2) - This feels a little strange to me as it both attempts to follow an awkward piano rhythm, and prevents the downbeat from being clickable. Shortening this to a 1/1 repeat slider and adding a circle where the tail was is a better simplification of this imo, and also brings the stronger piano sound at 04:08:896 out of the sliderbody
16. 04:18:906 (1) - Personally I would try and speed this slider up a tiny bit - I get that BPM and thus SV are decreasing throughout so it's not a huge readability issue, but the difference between the speeds of this and previous sliders is quite large, giving more possibility to break here. Increasing SV slightly (1.25x maybe) would help balance this out. Additionally, regaining control over the rhythm becomes quite difficult considering the strong downbeat is a sliderend currently. Ending the slider at 04:22:666 and then adding a circle on the downbeat would play better I think
17. 04:36:127 (1) - Similar situation as above, ending a slider on the downbeat causes confusion as to where the player "is" in the measure. Strong objects being clickable helps to maintain the internal metronome that makes reading upcoming patterns much easier. Ending the slider 1 beat back at 04:37:742 - and adding a circle on the downbeat would be better here
18. 04:48:588 (3,1) - Same as 01:21:820 (3,1)
19. 05:08:434 (1) - Tail can be brought slightly more to the right to form a more even blanket around the tail of 05:07:973 (4) - [304,240] or so works well
20. 05:34:280 (1,2,3) - Same as 03:41:666 (1,3)
21. 05:37:973 (1,2) - (2) can probably be curved a little more for a better sliderbody blanket
22. 05:52:973 (1) - How about shortening this spinner slightly so you can map the following guitar sounds? I know you want to leave some pause, but it feels weird to skip an entire iteration and start at 05:58:280 (1) - with an identical rhythm
23. 06:01:973 (1) - I'd avoid overlapping the sliderbody to this extent as it can seriously compromise readability. Move the tail anchor out to the left please
24. 06:18:588 (1) - ^
