I toned down / removed the ones that ramp up to a speedier finisher note, they do indeed feel a bit odd. I kept the slight base SV changes, since I think they flow with the music nicely.
Yes for the first.
As for the second, I changed the patterning to be slightly denser in a different way, since I think starting drum mapping from the white tick makes for a better transition.
I guess this type of vocal focus works as well. I just don't really like leaving the sorta intense kiai middle points completely empty. But I guess it's better that way. Low diff mapping be like that :3.
I'll take out 02:11:670 - 02:18:527 - since leaving longer gaps here wouldn't match the music considering the mapping focus + the spread with other diffs in these spots would look wonky otherwise. The long 1/2 sections should be sparse enough.
Removed 01:58:170 (22) - since splitting up the piano stream just feels awkward to me. I think 7x is still fine since this is the most intense section in every diff.
It was purposeful simplification since the resulting 3/8 2/8 1/8 2/8 set is really awkward to play. Decided to changed to just 1/8 doublets instead (02:48:580 - too). Removed couple notes from Oni and Muzu.
It's missing the drumroll that the other similar parts have, so emphasizing that. Adding just 1/2 feels a bit awkward to me, but could do a triplet from 02:38:455 - for vocal mapping, if that's what you prefer
I'm focusing more on the type of sound rather than the volume level, usually at least.
When it comes to loud vs. quiet mapping, to me kat is far more distinguishable / stands out more. So k = loud & d = quiet would make much more sense for this approach imo.
For volume changing green lines specifically I'd prefer at least -20ms. Shifting the rest may not change anything, but it's more of a "just in case" -type of move.
00:33:310 - same in this section, I think you should move around the 1/4 notes to better match the guitar:
00:33:581 -> 00:33:762 -
00:34:123 -> 00:34:304 -
00:34:756 - (maybe triplet here too)
00:35:388 - note?
00:39:364 - del
00:39:907 -> 00:40:087 -
(suggestions don't include colors, I leave that to you)
