https://imgur.com/a/aYauXnL I was happy to get the first FC by some miracle when this map was in qualification https://imgur.com/a/V9O4xB0 Now even when I had improved everything I needed for maps like this, it was still quite tricky, I probably felt like a beginner again, but what is definitely true is that this map is a banger. I'm glad that I finally decided to play it again (firstly thanks to the fact that I want a many ranked score now)
honestly surprised to see tame impala get ranked. specifically this nearly 8-minute long song, which is an absolute banger btw. and as a huge tame impala fan, nothing would make me happier than to see more of their songs as playable.
have to admit the way this was mapped is kinda nuts, but i actually found it super fun tbh. especially that loop part holy fuck, yk what i'm talking about- that shit almost killed my stamina.
also got the perseverance medal as a bonus. which i didn't even expect to get on this map lmfao. so yeah. cool.
Just to cap, Tame impala songs are pretty hard to map, and this one is a good example especially for a 4 stars single set. I am not saying this is badly mapped, it's a really nice map and enjoyable. But a lot of parts could be improved so much and in a better way. Despite the fact that the AR or the OD makes everything harder for the rank range you aimed for, It makes reading a lot of parts extremely unethical. gets me to think that you wanted its making for DT player more than NM players. Add on that, You totally ignored mapping the famous loop guitar part in a representative way and kiai'd the part behind at the end. It's disappointing in many ways, but cheerful in other ways. Good luck with your future maps!.
I can't speak for Senseabel and his parts, but I've personally never mapped anything for a specific rank range as it goes against my view of mapping for ranking as representation of the song instead of a specific skill cap. This also match the fact that even if the map could be better to some when played with DT, there are some easier patterns that may be better for NM due to their tricky nature. As for AR/OD, they should be representative enough of the average map difficulty with a bit of challenge in some harder to read parts.
I'm also a bit sad that Senseabel's loopy pattern for the guitar solo wasn't as appreciated as I thought it would be, but that's taste I guess :(
