oh yeah I had forgotten about that, thank you

Please wait until Palestine is free to reopen this suggestion

Done

• Adressing ignoring beats in favor of the vocals, it's an established concept that I think fits much better and that this was used by Val0108 https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/48979#osu/151229 where he repeatedly put streams where there's nothing supporting them, but by being consistent he with that. it made sense and I'd like to believe I did the same here.

• 2nd point is completely fair, I'm too inexperienced to effectively incorporate ignored beats without making the map a bigger mess than it already is. I will just have to force myself to do this in my next maps when I'm more comfortable actually making a structured map in the first place.

• fixed everything there, my bad I had completely forgotted those.

Spacing is infact weird and a bit random

• I pulled my hair out placing jumps and spacing them accordingly, this is really really hard for me. so at some point I had to move on and just map the rest

Aesthetics

• Been trying to fix overlaps throughout the map as you told me, it's hard for me to notice them as a player so it's hard for me to notice them as a mapper too

• This goes back to me struggling to put jumps, I do agree there's some weird flow in some places.

• I had tried to make one for that I thought were minor but noticable changes in the song with the mentality that more NCs would be better than less

• This also goes back to spacing and jumps and seems to be a more fundamental issue with my mapping that drags down alot of other parts.

New combos already did look consistent in my eyes, I'm pretty sure this is just general inexperience and lack of awareness of what I should look out for, maybe this will come with time as I understand more and more what I should make a new combo or not

ok I did that and moved 00:07:628 (1) - to blanket then added a slider here00:08:359 (1) - followed by 2 notes here 00:08:725 (2,3) - (I'm guessing Ill have to update the map for it to make sense)

Updated map uploaded

I turned off effect sounds and played at 25% speed and I hear a beat there? maybe you meant a different object and copied the wrong one?

The rather easy part of the map is meant to be a buildup and this may come down to just preference and coming from a player background, I feel like the peak difficulity isn't as bad as you portrayed it to be.

This is purely my opinion tho, I just felt as if they way things are spaced effectively represents the intensity

as I am following the vocals, there is unavoidable instruments that are important and should be accounted for, this is my rather limited method of trying to account for both without breaking the little structure the map has

not sure what to do about that, I don't think colors matter at all. especially since everyone ignores beatmap colors and uses their own.
Either way not sure how to tackle this by just adding random colors? or is there more to it?

if I removed that note and made it similair to what I did in the 2nd repetition of this section, we'd be back at your comment on "weird flow and excessive spacing", so I think we should solve that first then this?
