00:01:326 (2,3) - It makes no sense to put these close together as 00:01:511 (3) - is quite loud and needs spacing emphasis to show this

00:02:067 (5,6,1) - This should not be spaced this much as you gave an intenser part of the song less sapcing for the same kind of pattern at 00:10:955 (8,9,1) - and 00:11:696 (3,4,1) -

00:03:548 (4,5) - lower spacing cause timing gap also halved

00:05:400 (1,2) - The spacing used here in the slow part for the sliders is way too high and should be lowered quite a bit as this isn't nearly as intense as the other parts of the map

00:07:807 (6) - Why does the spacing increase start here, it should start at 00:07:993 (7) - as the guitar kicks in on this beat

00:07:993 (7,8,9,1,2) - up sapcing here, these sounds are all pretty loud

00:08:733 (3,4) - flipping the positions of these 2 and using ctrl+g on them would make for some nicer linear flow and not this semi zigzag pattern that started at 00:07:993 (7) -

00:13:918 (5,1) - Why lower spacing the reverse is super loud and different from the rest

00:16:141 (3) - the flow from hereon out is weird, I can't see it wanting to be consistent for more than like 2 seconds, it just goes wherever

00:26:141 (1,2,3) - patterns liek this aren't necessarily bad but play bad

00:30:955 (2) - special slider is not needed, you are making it look important but it's actually just the same as all the other sounds

00:40:770 (2,3) - transition from a really slow 1/1 slider to a stream is unexpected so maybe place some reverses or 1/4 sliders so players now that a 1/4 rhythm is coming

00:45:400 (1,2,3,1) - doesn't flow that well, you have to stop for the stack but the angle is also really wide

00:47:993 (7,8) - Don't increase the sapcing towards these 2, they are really similar to 00:46:881 (1,2,3,4,5,6) -

00:48:178 (8,1) - triple?, I hear a sound on the blue tick

00:48:455 (2,4) - these 2 blue ticks don't need to be mapped, I can't hear them, and if they are there than theyu are so quiet you don't need to map them

00:54:844 (3,4) - No need for a speed increase here, the song is consistent in it's intesity and there are definetly no weird 1/4 sounds that warrant patterns this fast

01:00:215 (1,1,1,1) - looks cool but beacause of the heavily lowered object density it doesn't really work perfectly

01:04:659 (1,3,4,5,6,7) - Make these blanket eachother more nicely

01:06:973 (5) - don't hear anyhting on this one

01:14:381 (4) - ^

01:17:252 (6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,1) - why is there a steam here on a part with prominent vocals, just map those as I don't hear a 1/4 drum or anything like that

01:26:141 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) - You make streams on places without 1/4 -_-

01:26:881 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - this is a bit too much compared to the other parts of your map so nerf the spacing here or buff the rest

Closing thoughts: The map has some really weird streams and wasn't sure about some of them havcing 1/4 sounds or not but check those to see if there maybe are any other which are also overmapped.
But the biggest problem is the flow and spacing consistency, I can't see either used in the map, especially flow which this maps lacks.
You don't need the map to be super predictable with circular flow everywhere but it doesn't hurt to take a look at it as it also makes your map play like 10x better

Gl with the map

1. i would prefer this 00:29:474 (2,3,4) - have a same pattern with 00:25:030 (2,3,4) -
2. bad flow imo 00:54:659 (2,3) -
3. 01:16:696 (3,4) - different flow with 01:19:474 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) -

1. 00:43:178 - add 1 more note for consistent with 00:40:215 - ?

It's a pretty boring map, nothing much to say, just hoping to have more variety in it (maybe play more LN on guitar)

00:14:289 unneccessary triple, double is enough

00:14:659 should be double

00:15:307 there's a sound here, recommend to play it

mod

Hi, I'm from my Std NM thread, I'm not an experienced modder, but I've done a lot of research to mod, if you find anything wrong with my mod, tell me
And I"m also not very good at English, so... sorry
Anyway, I hope you don't have to use google translate
Okay, let's begin
00:01:326 (2,3) - I would place these at the bottom instead to help with the flow
00:02:344 (6) - This isn't a strong beat, I don't recommend using jump here
00:02:668 (2) - You missed a beat here, change the beat snap divisor to 1/8 and place one here, I would reccomend stacking this with 00:02:807 (3), and place these 2 in the bottom isntead to help with the flow
00:02:807 (3,4,5) - Are very close together, make the distance between then larger
00:03:826 (7,1) - I think you should switch these 2 beats, sliders shouldn't end on a loud vocal beat, also make a jumo at 00:03:826 (7,1) after changing it if you want to
00:04:567 (4,1) - Also switch these 2
00:06:881 (1) - This is a strong beat, I would make a jump here
00:06:511 (1,2,3,4,1) - I suggest making this stream go down instead of going up, your map was going clockwise at first, don't make it anti-clockwise so quickly
00:11:326 (1) - This is a loud beat, I think you should make a jump here
00:15:400 (4,5,6,7,1) - I don't like this stream since 00:15:585 (6) is a vocal, you should consider spacing 00:15:585 (6,7,1) from 00:15:400 (4,5) and change the combo color of 00:15:585 (6) so that it remains the same combo color as00:15:770 (1)
00:16:141 (3) - Don't end it with a vocal if you start with a sound
00:16:881 (7) - Same ^
00:18:178 (6,7) - This flow isn't good in my opinion, try spacing 00:18:363 (7) and 00:17:992 (5)
00:18:363 (7) - I would make this slider into circles
00:19:289 (4) - - You switched clock rotation again, try not to do this until you reach kiai mode or a slower section of the song or something along the line basically a special section like at 00:12:437 (3) where you switched into clockwise from counter-clockwise for example which I personally think is a good part to switch clock rotation since it switched from a vocal and sound section to a full sound section
00:19:474 (5,6) - I prefer these 2 to be combined as a slider, it would match both the vocal and the sounds
00:19:844 (7) - Turn these into circles, or you could turn 00:19:474 (5,6) into a reverse slider which will covers this beat 00:19:844 (7), then make 00:20:030 (8) a new combo (which will remain the same color as 00:20:215 (1)) and make it a jump if possible, it's a strong sound
00:21:604 (8) - Make a new combo, remain the same color as 00:21:696 (1)
00:22:807 (6) - Don't end it with a vocal if you start with a sound
00:25:030 (2) - Same ^
00:28:733 (7) - Same ^
00:30:955 (2) - Same ^
00:31:696 (6) - Same ^
00:42:067 (3) - I would jump here
00:43:548 (1) - Don't put a circle in the end of a slider if the circle comes first, it's very hard to see
00:48:178 (8,9,1) - This stack is very awkward, don't stack these circles
00:52:251 (7) - Make a new combo here, I would also like a jump if possible
00:53:548 (6,7,8) - try putting some space with 00:53:363 (4,5) since it's a vocal and 00:53:363 (4,5) isn't also change the combo color of 00:53:548 (6)
00:55:214 (7) - Change the combo color and make a jump
00:58:177 (7) - Same ^
01:04:103 (7) - Same ^
00:58:548 (9) - I would make this a jump, it's a strong sound and I would recommend changing the combo color, make sure it's the same as 00:58:733 (1)
01:00:215 (1,1,1,1,1) - Um... don't make sliders so close to each other, it's hard to see
01:02:437 (1,2,3,4) - Try putting some distances between these, it's very awkward to change from two different streams with different offset
01:11:326 (1,2,3,4) - Same ^
01:05:400 (5,6,7) - Make a new combo at 01:05:400 (5) and put some distances between 01:05:215 (3,4) it switched from sound to vocal
01:10:029 (7) - make a jump and a new combo
01:16:881 (4,5) - Switch these 2 places, the flow is not good here, don't make back and forth jumps
01:22:252 (9) - New combo here
01:26:141 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I'm not sure how to explain this but the flow isn't good, make it like this instead
I think that's is as much as a noob like me could cover
Remember, tell me if there's anything wrong!
Good luck
And plz give me kudosu I'm suffering from crippling depression...

1. Customize combo colors fixed
2. 00:09:474 (5) - with drastic curves like this (especially as it is positioned on downbeat) you should NC it fixed
3. 00:23:178 (1,3,4,5) - this overlapping pattern doesn't kinda line up with the practice you've used so far, would just get rid of it, same with 00:44:659 (2,4) -
   fixed
4. 00:45:307 (7,1) - I see you've done few of these, but this kinda looks like messed up normal one instead of what you are intending. Perhaps rearrange it a little? fixed
5. 00:57:252 (1,7) - stack these if that's what they are supposed to do fixed
6. 01:02:437 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - first of all what I said earlier about the change in the stream and NCing. But also this one has kinda questionable formating as the larger spacing begins from 4 to 5 instead of from 5 onwards where it is in the music. Perhaps change it? fixed
7. 01:06:696 (3,4) - Give 'em some space, these kickslider patterns were already spaced out like at 00:19:289 (4,5) - fixed
8. 01:11:326 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - similar to what I said earlier fixed

Good luck!

1. 00:39:474 (1,2,1,2) - I suggest you to mute sounds on sliderends here - you have strongly hearable sampleset and there is no such strong sound on slidertails.

1. 00:13:923 (1) - downbeat shoyuld be clickable, it's pretty important

• The correct title would be "バトンロード" (then Romanized title is "Baton Road") according to the wiki page of the song, also your audio file has the same japanese title on it
General:
• It's just a 4,7* so i don't think that AR 9,2 fits really good here, I suggest you to reduce it to 9
Objects:
• 00:01:700 (4,5) - Reducing spacing here makes no sense, maybe you could add a bit between both notes (a similar spacing with this 00:01:886 (5,6) - wouldn't be bad)
• 00:02:256 (1,2,3,4) - We can emphasize this better, something like this wont be bad.
What i did is that i reduced spacing on the first three notes making a triangle with them and then i added almost the x2 of the spacing and broke the flow (changed the flow into the other side), so that would emphasize notes with the song in a good way
• 00:05:589 (2) - I think that making this a curvy slider instead of a straigh one would fit better
• 00:07:626 (6,7,1,2) - Why different spacing?
• 00:17:441 (2) - Moving this a bit to the right would be better imo, it would fit with the followpoint between this two 00:17:071 (1,2) -

--NOTE: Be careful about the spacing you use in your triples, i've seen that you used different spacing on different triples, and it would be better to be consistent wiith it. Examples: 00:23:552 (3,4,5) - and 00:26:515 (4,5,6) -

• 00:37:997 (2) - This would fit a lot better like this
• 00:38:923 (6,7,8,9) - This shape should be reversed so it flows correctly
• 00:39:200 (9,1) - Spacing tho
• 00:39:293 (1,2,1,2) - This is edgy, also not even snapped at all, i think that it would be better if these are circles and not sliders
• 00:42:256 (1,2,1,2) - Same here
• 00:45:126 (7,1) - huh

I would get repetitive if i mod the kiai, you actually have to check spacing issues through the whole map but care about flow issues on your kiai. I'd send you a guide to learn flow but i think you know perfectly what it is so ill trust in you on finding these issues (that are pretty clear **cough 00:57:441 (2,3,4,5,6,7) - cough**)

Thats all from me
I hope it helped you and again, sorry for being late

Note: I know the spread for standard isn't done just yet, but I'm going to remind you that no guest mapper should have more difficulties than the mapset creator. This means that you're going to need to have at least one more difficulty created by you. I know, in progress

Hitsounds: Someone do them eventually. Also, I was checking through the folder and the hitnormal and the hitclap have the same sound. Not the same, clap is louder. U can hear it in editor

mp3 file feels incredibly quiet. Maybe it's just me. The most loud of all of them

The video is fine, but it doesn't appear in any of the difficulties. (Select it the same way as a background image) Make sure the offset is correct for this in relation to the audio, as I don't really have a way of checking for you. Its ok

(Just a little thing on the standard map: HP 7 might be a little too cruel given the note density throughout the map. Consider reducing to 6.)

Everything below is mania-specific.

0|1|2|3

Reduce the hitsound volume to around 40%; slightly too loud as it is.

Okay, so as to not conflict with the (eventual) names of the standard set and cause confusion, I suggest changing to the usual mania format. That means Normal becomes NM and Hard becomes HD.

I see you're kinda new to mania, seeing the number of posts you've made on the forum, so I suppose I'll be introducing and explaining some concepts to you, rather than going into specifics. (Otherwise, you'll just be doing things that I tell you to and you won't understand why.) Prepare for a crash course because there's quite a bit to get through.

Mania General (read first)

First thing's first. Going off of the mod response you gave to the previous mod, I'm going to say mapping notes to vocals is strongly discouraged and should be avoided. There's nothing technically wrong with it, but with following sounds for mania (what you should be doing, might I add), it can get a little cluttered and following vocals is the first thing to be dropped.

Going off of that, unlike standard, there are no filler notes in mania. That means that, if there aren't any sounds about, there shouldn't be anything there. Vocals aren't really considered as sounds for this as they're not as clear-cut as something like percussion. If there are notes where there aren't sounds, then those are ghost notes. Avoid "anti-ghosting" as well, which is not mapping something that should be. For example, something like a snare sound shouldn't be missed.

The thing to come after this is consistency, which is essentially mapping the same sound with exactly the same number of notes, well, consistently. A common thing would be to map bass kicks (like 00:17:071 and 00:17:256) as doubles, and this would be the same throughout the rest of the map. Occasionally this can be broken, but there needs to be a very good reason as to why.

As the two difficulties stand right now, they don't really follow any of this.

"Variety is the spice of life", as they say. Remains true for this too, you know. There's a reason why the comment from earlier said the map was boring because, quite frankly, it is. It's not "wrong" per se, but it's not interesting because there's no variety. Plenty of repetitive patterns (can't be helped mostly, but definitely can be more variety than this). Also, what's with every trill being [12][34]? Use [13][24] and [14][23] patterns every now and then to keep things interesting.

Another important factor is playability. Essentially, it's trying to ensure that the patterns you map are somewhat comfortable. Of course, you can go against this, but you're going to need a reason to the tons of modders who will point it out. It's important to playtest your map often and think about the players it will be aimed for. (The most common way most people do this is through spreading the notes out across all of the columns evenly.)

Lastly, progression. Easier difficulties should essentially be more basic version of harder difficulties, rather than a different entity altogether. Simply, there shouldn't be anything in an Easy or Normal that would be absent in a Hard or an Insane, for example. (tl;dr, you're probably going to have adapt/remap the Normal difficulty)

If anything, practice will improve your mapping skills, as it does anyone. But knowing about these will certainly help, as it has for me.

Of course, if there's anything here that you don't understand, feel free to PM me somewhere.

There's a few other things that I couldn't generalise or I can show examples for which I'll list below.

OneRing's Normal

1. 00:00:589 (589|0,960|0) - Something like this might be a little awkward particularly for a Normal difficulty; perhaps move the second note into a different column.
2. 00:02:071 - Map the sound for consistency, as you did at 00:00:589? A simple long note (LN) would do.
3. 00:03:552 - ^
4. 00:04:293 - ^
5. 00:05:034 - ^
6. 00:20:219 (20219|2,20589|2,20960|2,21330|2) - Try to avoid longish stacks in one column like this, since it will put an unnecessary strain in one column, which isn't the most comfortable thing.
7. 00:23:182 (23182|1,23552|1,23923|1,24293|1,24663|1,25034|1,25404|1,25774|1,26145|1) - Definitely avoid stacks this long though.
8. 00:27:441 - Cymbal crashes like this will definitely need more than one note.
9. 01:02:534 (62534|2,62626|0,62719|2,62812|1,62904|3,62997|1) - This kind of pattern is extremely awkward for this difficulty. If you ctrl + H'd 01:02:719 (62719|2,62812|1) it would be better.
10. 01:23:367 (83367|2,83552|2,83737|2) - Not the most playable thing to map of this point. Might want to give this a little rearranging.

OneRing's Hard

I'd increase the HP to 7.5.

1. 00:00:775 (775|2,1330|0) - This LN pattern is inconsistent with Normal and later in this difficulty.
2. 00:01:145 (1145|3,1515|3,1886|3,2256|3,2626|3,2812|3,3182|3,3552|3) - Use column 2 to alleviate the strain in column 3.
3. 00:07:997 (7997|1,8182|1,8367|1) - The jacks are a little unbalanced here. After the triple can be rearranged slightly to be more comfortable.
4. 00:12:997 (12997|1,12997|0,13367|1,13367|0,13737|0,13737|1,14108|0,14108|1,14478|0,14478|1) - There's a little lack of variety here.
5. 00:39:663 (39663|0,39663|3) - The sound here's not that strong, so one of them should be removed imo, like a little later.
6. 00:40:034 (40034|3,40034|2,40034|0) - This sound's no different compared to those before it, so this should be a double, right?
7. I mean, other than that, it's simply a lack of variation with a few missing notes. Have a look through and repattern some.

Hope this helps and best of luck with the set.

Current spread is unrankable for two reasons.

1. GDer has more diffs than the actual mapper (i saw asher mentioned this already)

2. Mania spreads MUST have a difficulty below two stars which you do not.

hitclap and hitnormal are the same. "one is louder". Yeah they're still the same, swap it out because it's basically unrankable.

NM

00:02:441 (2441|2) - What is this note meant to represent in this section? it feels so out place especially considering there's a prominent drum roll right before it. This repeats for every note like this.

00:05:404 (5404|3) - There is a TONNE of ghost notes in this diff, this is just one, fix ALL of them. Like seriously if i linked all of them this mod would be pages long.

00:08:923 (8923|1) - maybe double the loud vocal

00:09:293 (9293|2,9386|1) - shift to 3|4 so the pattern plays better

00:15:589 (15589|0) - Don't forget this is 4k, not 3k

00:24:478 (24478|3,25219|0) - If these are meant to be the vocals then they are mistimed. You cant have the second LN before the second syllable if you dont map the first

00:29:293 (29293|0) - having the snares be singles and the bass 00:29:663 (29663|0,29663|1) - be doubles is weird and breaks the theme you set up earlier in the song

00:37:997 (37997|2,38182|1,38182|0) - same sound, ones a double and one isnt

00:38:923 (38923|0,39015|3,39108|1,39200|2,39293|0,39293|1) - This is a bad pattern for a NM (too hard)

00:39:293 (39293|0,39478|3) - why LNs here and not for the next vocals?

kiai in general is very uninspired. it's just basic 1-2-1-2 mapping the whole way when there's potential for much more

GL, fix those ghost notes

1. For this to be ranked don't you need to have a an E N H for STD as well?
