1. I think the artist should include "Various Artists" since that's how this basically is. Not too familiar with how it actually should go but smth like "SakiZ feat. Various Artists" or "Various Artists feat. SakiZ" seems plausible. Check that with someone more knowledgeable. I went with SakiZ as "mrspazzaneve17" was used as the artist for the osu!megamix, i'll keep it as SakiZ until someone presents a reason why it should or why it shouldn't be SakiZ/various artists
2. For the ending timing I think 10:16:760 (4) - is audibly late atm, could slighlty tune it even tho it's slider Imo it follows the drum beats quite nicely
   
   
   Also sliderend of 10:17:622 (1) - and 10:25:016 (1,2) - could use some love too, first of all it's 4 sounds instead of 3, and 10:25:100 (2) - is slightly too early. I recommend just adding one red points more to time it properly (and perhaps another one if you want to tie it up neatly to the next one like I personally like to do). You can also then think if you want to map it with kickslider or circles. Circles can work too with burst like that even if the timing changes due how it's played anyways, but if you want to be sure of things, use kickslider
   It actually worked just by changing the BSD from 1/12 to 1/16, i made it a circle because it's a burst and doesn't have that kind of a harder polarity change
   
   
3. This could use some more advanced hitsounding if you want also. For example in the beginning the normal hitsounds weren't that fitting imo, too loud and sharp for example. http://puu.sh/vfxWM/9f40d2f84f.png
   
   
4. 00:43:209 (1,2,3) - I wouldn't pattern triples like this, it reminds very much of the occasional 1/2 mapped similarly such as 00:45:909 (2,3) - and some kind of stream type spacing would look neater too imo I'm trying to avoid what you have mentioned right after this one. These 00:43:209 (1,2,3,2,3) - can't really be compared to each other when on the other one the hitcircles are partially under the slider and on the other one they are stacked on top of the head and i barely use 1/2 notes directly or partially under sliders at all as those are pretty much always 1/4 spaced on the timeline (with the one expection that was a mistake). Stuff like this 01:51:609 (1,2) - is justified as there is nothing really represent through spacing as the slidertail of 1 and 2 are placed on really quiet notes
5. 01:09:909 (2,3) - is there any reason to suddenly have 0 spacing to circle from slider? Maybe there's more of these later on Not here atleast imo (as the hitcircles were supposed to be stacked)
6. 01:44:109 (2) - NC this instead of 01:44:034 (1) - currently player can think that 01:44:034 (1) - is on white tick since you can comprehend it exactly after a slider and thus patterning it accordingly will make it less confusing Done
7. 01:44:334 (5,1) - this is kinda okay still but I think you should tune 01:49:134 (6,1) - down a bit, it's larger gap than the last and the simultaneous direction change makes it even harder. Also why no similar pattern at 01:51:534 (4,1) - when there's the same sound? Toned down a bit, 01:51:534 (4,1) - this is spaced normally so people can adjust to the next song bit more easily
8. 02:19:209 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - I think there was something similar before (and will probably be after too). Since both streams of 8 base on the same sound, it would make more sense to have the latter with the larger spacing, since that's when the intensity is "picking up" due the repetition. Tho it's not like current one is bad either, it works perfectly fine as well. It may be picking up but having larger spacing on the stream kinda ruins it's intention to lower the intensity on spacing for gold dust which doesn't really support that high spacing after all
9. 02:39:534 (10,1) - intentional? doesn't look too good. Same with following one 02:41:934 (8,1) - which is already more fitting tho since the stream body itself is already not smooth I'll try making it a bit better
10. 03:17:634 - and 03:17:934 - you could map these sounds to form 2 triples? The single hitcircles work with the guitar better which is the most influential/significant instrument there
11. 03:58:209 (6) - should NC this and have the gap to from 5 to this instead of from this to the next. Current patterning indicates different rhythm than the actual (as in it indicates that slider begins at white tick) Synthesizer is at the strongest here 03:58:284 (7) - so why the biggest cap should be on something that is not the strongest nor most significant change
12. 04:10:134 - missing sound again, and would recommend mapping this with circles only, it would create more fitting feel imo for the musical pattern going on here Agreed, fixed
13. 08:36:100 - kinda wrong rhythms for these streams/bursts/whatever, but on the other hand I think mapping them like this is the most intuitive way for the player since it seems like for some reason there are 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 in those so that it wouldn't really work that smoothly mapped as it is Yeah i think you already explained why they are like so. So pretty much there aren't really any ways to make it follow the rhythm well and play comfortably at the same time so that's why i chose the 7 note bursts
14. 09:28:850 (4,1) - why are these stacked when the rest where with small moving spacing? There isn't really a specific reason but they are part of the pattern 09:26:600 (1,2,3,4,1) - here, i'll try fixing it while still having the original pattern there
15. either NC 09:44:100 (5) - or don't NC 09:44:350 (1) - lol 09:44:350 (1,2,3,4) - The drum hits change? (Also i will be heavily changing the DS on this update)
16. I guess what most bothered me was kinda common problem with compilation marathons. They are usually lacking in contrasts that still are in the music. Or when the map has contrasts, they aren't constant or logical. As in for example, here the density is about the same, ofc depending on the density of the current song. But every song was interpreted about the same density-wise. Spacing differences, however, were not only kinda lacking for the most part (which can work), but they were also inconsistent musically. There were stacked 1/2 and small spacing and jumps, but I couldn't grasp how they were used in comparison to the music and at some places where jumps would make sense musically there was even only sliders, and with small spacing. Then for streams, similarly I didn't notice any too distinct logic in the spacing, identical sound could have all kind of difference spacings. There is no real reason to have build-up or inter-song relatable difficulty curves, but being logical with choices when the music is similar could still be done.
    
    Look, i'm not monstrata, skystar nor andrea. I have 1 ranked map at this point and 1 ranked guest difficulty. I am mostly experimenting my higher BPM/level difficulty mapping (and it's rankability) and i know that it's not perfect. Density wise i like to keep my map fairly consistant so you don't have a 5 star mapping for 9 minutes and 8 star mapping for a minute, also the lower difficulty level to allow more players to enjoy the map.
    
    I want the map to be enjoyable, not rhythmically 100% accurate by every way. Even though most of the spacing does make sense
    
    Though generally your opinion here does cross with something that is pretty much what mapping is built around. Having a personal way to analyze and represent music. What should and shouldn't be mapped depends on the target difficulty and what the song offers you, additionally you follow the song through other variables like flow, placement, disctance, structure and such. These variables are completely subjective and depend on how the mapper "sees" the song
    
    
17. Despite that it was pretty clean and enjoyable, perhaps due that it was also kinda simple mapping-wise for the most part. I woulda given this more nitpicking check but unfortunately I'm lacking in time atm.

Good luck!

1. Pretty sure that there is a guideline that says that you should avoid combo colors using 220-ish luminosity in the kiai because the flashes could hurt the eyes. I know you would like to keep the white color, so I think setting the RGB values to 205 - 215 could help a liitle bit with that
2. 07:28:100 - There are two lines here with different samplesets (S:C1 and N:C1), since this can cause buggy behavior in-game, this is unrankable and the samplesets should be made the same on both lines
3. I thought I gave you the tags already .-.

1. 00:31:209 (1,2,3) - Pretty unsure as to why this skips the vocal, even if this is results in a 1/1 gap, you follow the vocals in this part almost all the time and I don't see why you should follow it.
2. 00:43:059 (5,1) - Should have more distance imo, I can see that you emphasized this with a DS raise, but when you compare this part to 00:40:659 (5,1) - it feels kinda lackluster imo
3. 00:43:434 (2) - This note is not needed imo. At first I thought that it was overmapped but after listening closely I could hear some background sound here. Yet the sound is only very barely audible and this is the only clickable 1/4 in this song/part which makes this part kinda stand out - I don't think that this kinda emphasis like that is really deserved here so I'd remove this note
4. 00:43:509 (3) - Uhh, not sure what the whistle is doing here, if I understood correctly, the whistle landed on stronger guitar which isn't on this note
5. 00:44:109 (6,1) - I'm not sure about this but imo you should silence the tail since there is no sound on the tail and the hitnormal gives way to much feedback for 00:44:334 - . This also applies for other similar instances in the whole map if you accept this
6. 00:48:909 (3) - I think you can make the slider shape a bit more different and unique, the straight slider feels pretty bland for this unique sound
7. 01:15:309 (2) - Pretty sad that this slider belongs in the same pattern as 01:14:409 (1,2,1) - , the vocals get equalized with the instruments which doesn't express the vocal enough imo
8. 01:34:359 (4) - 01:39:159 (4) - By your patterning this would be a 1/4 slider. It might be because it should be different from 01:34:509 (1,2) - but the raised SV is already enough imo and it plays just fine as 1/4 so you should change it to a 1/4 slider imo. Same goes for the other slider pointed out
9. 01:41:709 (1) - All 1/3 sliders in this pattern 01:40:809 (1,1,1,1) - have sounds on every element of the slider (-> repeat, end, head) except for the one point it out. I get that you might be going for a consistent transition but it doesn't represent the music well making 01:41:709 (1) - similar to 01:40:809 (1,1,1) - . Something like this would work better
10. 01:46:509 (3) - This is just personal but I feel like a slowdown via SV could work here because it's a pretty unique sound throughout the whole part and it having the same SV as the rest doesn't feel appropriate imo
11. 01:58:209 (1,2) - This pattern feels like it skips part of the melody (it sounded like it was on the 1/2 but in fact was on the 3/4 where the slider tail was). You technically are correct with your pattern and it does not skip the melody but you make it pretty much identical patterning like 01:53:409 (1,1) - (apart from the shape, flow and NC ofc) and the patterns will feel the same although the player can hear that the two patterns have different melodies. You could use 1/4 sliders or sth similar here that would make the patterns 'more different' instead, that works better imo.
