A musica é legal e tals mas n sinto q esse é um mapa 7* , Esta mais parecendo um mapa de 5* com esses circulos mt juntos , vc deveria arrumar isso ;3

Este mod foi como um todo ta

Hi hi, M4M there

BLACK BELT

So I’m not gonna lie, there’s a lot of progress to be made here. I’ll be giving general advice plus a few examples each, and it will be up to you to find those mistakes in the map. This is so that you become conscious of what are and aren’t mistakes, since you can’t rely only on modders to fix your mapping :>

[Overmapping]Overmapping is what happens when rhythms that aren’t in the song are mapped ; the vast majority of overmapping cases are when a rhythm denser than the song’s rhythm is mapped. It can be acceptable in very few cases when it’s justified, but considering your mapping level I highly suggest that you just avoid doing it altogether until you gather enough experience to know when it’s appropriate to overmap and when not to. Some examples of overmapping in your map include :

00:39:872 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Here the stream is unsnapped at times ( some circles aren’t on a tick ), and if you listen to the song you’ll notice that the guitar does 1/4 and 1/2 rhythms ; here that streams is denser than 1/6 so it’s a good example of what overmapping is.

03:31:651 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - same here : I suggest reducing the playing speed when trying to figure out which rhythm you use, since by using a playback rate of 25% and looking at your timeline you can clearly hear that the drum beats are 1/4, while here they’re being snapped in 1/6 rhythm.

You’ll notice that overmapping happens mainly on streams since they are among the densest gameplay elements, so it’s kinda easy to fall into overmapping with them.

Also, keep in mind that an overmapped map does not mean a forced one. You get a forced beatmap when the intensity of the map ( so the difficulty mainly, but there are other ways to portray intensity which I won’t talk about here or else this mod will be even more of a textwall than it already is ) is entirely over the rest of the song, so rhythm rarely has something to do in there. Good examples of forced maps are pretty much every Arles map, but the most glaring example is the very (in)famous Haitai ( https://osu.ppy.sh/s/459149 ). If you look at the end you’ll notice a bunch of cross-screen jumps, where the song isn’t even intense enough to support jumps in the first place ; this is what a forced/overdone map is.

[Music and emphasis]The second thing I’ll be talking about here is one big part of mapping ( arguably the most important ). Music is ( usually ) composed of similar emphasis points, which are downbeats ( the big white ticks on your timeline such as 03:02:540 or 04:17:207 ) and white ticks ( pretty self-explanatory ). Downbeats are the most important of those, you’ll notice that they gather strong changes in the music ( to get back to my examples, 03:02:540 has a good kick and starts the second part of the pause while 04:17:207 features a strong cymbal crash as well as the guitar note that ends the song not accounting for the outro ). As a result, you’ll usually want to have something on those big guys, since it just leaves an awkward blank when the music has a strong sound but the map just ignores it. Actually, downbeats are so important that even the end of a slider feel awkward on it ; the keyword here is clickable. A clickable object means a circle, or a slider head ; clickable objects feel stronger than non-clickables ( aka slider tails or reverse arrows ), so it makes sense that stronger objects are on the stronger beats of the music.

This is applicable to white ticks as well, and the reason why red tick sliders are so frowned upon ; usually, since emphasis in the music is put on a white tick, red tick sliders put emphasis on the red tick rather than on the white tick afterwards, since it makes the slider head clickable and the slider tail non-clickable.

A good example of red tick slider that makes emphasis awkward is 03:47:707 (2) ; it begins on a red tick and ends on a downbeat. Since emphasis in the song is put on the downbeat through the drum kick, having the red tick clickable and the downbeat non-clickable makes the rhythm play awkwardly.

I don’t wanna overwhelm you with information so I’ll be ending this here ; however Pishifat ( who you may or may not know, he’s a QAT as well as a very experienced mapper ) has done a bunch of videos about mapping that teach a few concepts ( he’s also talked about the two things I’ve discussed here ) ; you can find them here. They aren’t like a magic formula that will turn you into RLC though, so the best thing you can do right now is keep mapping, and have fun !
