Hi, from request~
This song is really good <3
Inner Oni00:02:052 (11) - Delete, or change to
d. The
k sound at the moment doesn't have a fitting sound matched to it. I'm assuming you're matching to the background instrumentals, but I personally wouldn't do that because the
k should be matched to a nice strong sound, especially in sections like this where it's matched mainly to the melody. In comparison, 00:09:437 (59) has a well used
k, with the strong drum sound. I'd personally remove it, but that's up to you.
00:03:898 (24) - ^
00:05:744 (37) - ^
00:07:591 (50) - ^
00:17:975 (127) - Since you've matched to the melody quite a bit here it's possible to change this hit to a
k, but that's up to you.
00:20:283 (151,152,153) - Ctrl + G. The melody is similar to 00:20:629 (155,156,157) and 00:21:321 (163,164,165), so the
k sound should be at the start of the triplet imo, even if it is repetitive.
00:23:283 (184,185,186,187,188,189,190) -
kkkdddk would match the pitch of the melody better. Although the current rhythm works, the
k is still matched to the drums (I think), which isn't strongly emphasized here. Same at 01:43:128 (915,916,917,918,919,920,921), 04:16:359 (2269,2270,2271,2272,2273,2274,2275) and 05:37:590 (3034,3035,3036,3037,3038,3039,3040).
00:29:629 (252) - Change to
d. There is no drum sound and the pitch of the melody is lower than the previous hit.
00:37:937 - Add a hit here. It is inconsistent with 00:30:552 (262). You could alternatively remove 00:30:552 (262), which is better imo.
00:48:283 (443,444) - I don't hear a sound that allows this placement :/ Might just be me. Remove?
00:49:667 (456,457) - ^
01:50:513 (994) - Change to
k? This sounds exactly the same as the hits surrounding it.
02:05:398 (1112) - Change to
d. The drum sound is lower than the previous hit and is same as the next.
02:19:590 (1220,1221,1222,1223,1224,1225) - The
ks here seem out of place, and not matched to the drum sound. Some patterns that could work better are as follows:
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/4400775 or
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/440078102:39:898 (1424,1425,1426,1427,1428) -
kkddk or something may work better. You can match to both the instrumentals and the melody. Similar to how you had it at 02:38:051 (1405,1406,1407,1408,1409). Same at 02:54:667 (1560,1561,1562,1563,1564).
02:51:321 (1523,1524,1525) - You can change this to
kkd or
kdd. Since it's embedded in a triplet, matching to the melody sounds fairly good.
02:52:244 (1533,1534,1535) - ^
02:54:090 (1554,1555,1556) - ^
02:55:013 (1565,1566,1567) - ^
02:55:936 (1576,1577,1578) - ^ You get the idea. Do this for the second kiai too starting at 04:55:936 (2622,2623,2624), anywhere you think is good.
02:57:436 - From this bookmark to 03:00:436, I think you should focus on either the melody or instrumentals. I couldn't really figure out some reasoning behind the
ks.
05:23:513 (2891,2892,2893,2894,2895,2896,2897,2898,2899,2900,2901,2902,2903,2904,2905) - ^
03:04:821 (1648,1649,1650,1651,1652,1653,1654,1655,1656,1657,1658,1659,1660,1661,1662,1663,1664,1665,1666) - I personally thought a simpler looking rhythm sounds better.
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/4400834 03:06:667 - You could add many finishers in this short section, although you probably omitted them intentionally.
03:24:667 - I think this stream could be better made, js (idk how tho lel).
03:32:398 (1886) - Change to
k? You've matched to the melody at 03:32:167 (1884).
03:36:321 (1916) - ^ This sounds similar to 03:28:936 (1860), where you matched to the melody.
04:01:898 (2130) - Change to
d? This hit variation feels very forced.
04:03:821 (2151) - ^
04:23:744 (2347,2348,2349) - I recommend changing these hits to
k. This is because of the drum sound that you've matched through the song is present, and it'll match the melody which was matched at 04:23:628 (2346).
05:30:667 - This is my favourite part of the song <3
Back to the mod, you could make this slightly harder than the previous parts that sounded like this. DO NOT MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, but adding hits here and there wouldn't be bad.
05:43:821 (3100,3101,3102) and 05:44:167 (3104,3105,3106) - Change to
ddk and
dkk respectively. This is inconsistent with the rhythms at the beginning, like at 00:29:398 (249,250,251,253,254,255).
05:52:051 (3190,3191) - Ctrl + G works better with the drums imo.
06:08:167 - You can add a hit here to fill the drum sound.
06:10:013 - ^
06:14:628 (3389,3390) - Adding finishers on these last two hits would sound awesome
That's it. Nice song, nice diff, so have a star. Good luck on rank~
