Hi for the M4M :v
GeneralIMO this bg is too plain for a song as disco dancey as this one. I searched for a bit and found a few BGs that maybe you might like. Ofc there are thousands and thousands of sakuya wallpapers so there's more than just these options available but something a bit more colorful or with a lively background would be nice.
BTW highly consider boosting the volumes of every timing point by 10%. A bit too quiet for my taste. Or 5% at least so the kiais are 75% xd
[Heart and Beat]
00:00:247 (1,2) - This first sequence to start off the map feels pretty uncomfortable to play. Even if it's the first note and can easily be retried, the rhythm just feels pretty weak to start it off. What I would suggest is a triple into a 1/4 slider like
this since the rhythm at 00:00:481 - is pretty strong and feels kinda lame to just leave it as a slider body and start with a doubles rhythm.
00:01:184 (1,2,3,4,5) - tbh I testplayed the map twice just to be sure and the only thing that I had better expectations for was the intro. For example in this part, the strong beats are at 00:01:301 (2,3,4) - so a cool thing that I was hoping for was a pattern like
this which would introduce the hanzer like doubles early and to the strong beats in the music. There's a few other options but I think this works best especially if you change the first point.
00:02:825 (4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - A bit tricky to explain but basically if you listen to the rhythm in the song the strong sound is actually with the high hat on the blue ticks such as 00:02:942 - 00:03:176 - 00:03:411 - and on this red tick 00:03:762 - So when I listen to this while playing the intro again that rhythm isn't emphasized through the tapping patterns and that makes me upset ;-; However I know what rhythm you're trying to follow here. To avoid confusion with that I would suggest changing this 00:03:762 (6,7) - to a 1/4 slider because the two rhythms in the song kinda throw each other off the way it's mapped currently.
00:05:403 (4,5) - Also if you changed the first point mentioned I'd suggest changing these to a 1/4 slider then two notes at 00:05:637 - and 00:05:754 - like this or even two hanzer doubles like
this 00:06:809 (1,2,3,4,5) - See like this one for example is very nice to play (just leading to my point at 00:02:825)
01:43:137 (5) - Missing claps on slider head/end
01:48:762 (6,7) - Same for these two notes
01:50:637 (4,5,1) - And for these add clap on (4) and (5) and remove from (1). Technically you can leave it on (1) if you want but definitely add the two claps on 4-5. And if you do leave the clap on (1) then add one at 01:51:809 (1) -
01:52:278 (4,5) - Also add clap on (4) slider head only and on (5) slider head and end like you did with 01:51:340 (4,5,6) - .
01:55:090 (2) - This is a suggestion here but I would highly suggest adding claps at notes like this one, 01:56:965 (2) - 01:58:840 (2) - etc so its a boom clap boom clap kind of rhythm every 2nd and 4th beat instead of just the 4th beat. A lot better for this kinda music trust me. This applies to this whole kiai btw.
02:52:278 (4,5,6,7) - here tbh I would keep the triple into 1/4 slider rhythm like the first two 02:51:340 (3,4,5,1,2,3) - but if you really want this quad rhythm I'd suggest maybe doing the hanzer doubles pattern so the jump to 02:52:747 (1) - is clearer
03:10:442 (5) - Remove clap. Didn't have it here 03:12:200 (4) - (slider end) or here 03:14:075 (5) - (also slider end)
03:30:012 (5,6) - Claps
03:35:637 (6) - Same here
and 03:37:512 (4,5) - here too lol
03:37:747 (1) - Also same as the last pre-kiai section you can remove this clap as well or leave it but add one at 03:38:684 (1) -
03:39:153 (4,5) - Also claps on (4) slider head and (5) slider head and end like in the other part.
03:41:965 (2) - Also same suggestion as in the first kiai regarding claps on the 2nd and 4th beats instead of just the 4th beats for the whole kiai. If you haven't already, trust me
03:46:770 (4,5) - Personally I'd keep this as a 1/4 slider with a repeat arrow but I see why you did this.
03:49:465 (3) - Also see why you did this here but I kinda like the 1/4 rhythm better so I'd make this a 1/4 slider and add a note at 03:49:700 - offstacked over 03:49:817 (4) -
04:11:028 (1) - Add a clap on this and soft addition so you can keep the drum hitnormal sound. Same for 02:24:153 (1) - (forgot to mention it lol)
04:26:965 (2) - Oh yeah and again same clap suggestion for the 2nd and 4th beats
(plz do this)
04:56:028 (1) - And same as 04:11:028 (1) - Add clap and soft addition
04:57:317 (4) - Remove clap. Didn't have one at 05:01:067 (4,1) - etc.
Yeah as I started in the beginning overall the map is fun the rhythm is straighforward and follows the music but the intro part before 00:15:247 - is a bit sketchy. I'd say take time to revise that rhythm to be something more intuitive and that better emphasizes the hi hats and snares and the maps pretty cool.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
