Hi! My name is Arcubin and you've requested mod from my Mod Request page.
Overall Drain Time : 5 Minute
Allotted Time Modding : Approximately 2 Hour 45 minute
NOTE!
I can't play a difficulty of more than 5 star. All suggestion on those difficulty is based on my experience mapping and modding, and not playing it.
First Impression :
How dare you request from my queue twice #actualrage. (this is just a joke)
SCORE
Difficulty Curve : 5.2/10
Pacing is way too inconsistent on some section. I can't really tell on what difficulty you were decided on because the jump spacing is quite easy while stream is so over the top. Also transitioning between one another is very awkward at times.
Rhythm : 5.9/10
There's some sync switch that doesn't make any sense, resulted from non-existent transition. It feels like your sync switch was made "just because there's X sound". But when you are focused on one sync, it is a decent effort.
Design : 4.7/10
The jump and slider is on the lower average of score. It feels forced, and quite random at times. There's also way too many instance where you try to be creative, but the end result of said creativity wasn't paid off.
But i applaud your stream design. It's consistently great throughout the difficulty, and clearly you are comfortable making a good stream.
Hitsound : 6/10
I don't know what comes to me when i first check this map. But i feel like your hitsound work interfere way too much to the rhythm choice, especially when you try to sync switch. If i didn't know better, i think you only try to map to the drum. You need to also give more work on the guitar hitsound and stuff so you can transition easier between sync.
You can send me a DM if you have question and/or requiring some explanation, I'll gladly help you.

I appreciate all kind of feedback on my mod quality!
01:05:229 (2,3) - Should have some spacing to emphasize the difference in sync. Readability also quite poor since the whole section is quite consistent with the spacing.
01:03:184 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - I don't think this whole sync switch is working. Mainly because you don't have a good transition. You should pick either go fast pace with the drum or middle pace with the guitar because if you mix both of them, it will not match because they have different pacing.
00:45:457 (2,3,4) - Both of these beats should be a triplet instead to keep on the pacing of the song. Suddenly undermap on an intense section is very bizarre to play.
00:47:638 (2,3,7) - 00:48:729 (3,4) - 00:49:820 (1,2) - and whole bunch of them.
00:28:275 (2) - Might want to remove the reverse and put a new circle at 00:28:820 - to make better sense of your increase in rhythm pacing.
00:19:547 (1,2,3) - The overmap does not conveyed clearly both rhytmically and on design. Object (2) is not synced to anything and would only confuse player. Removing object (2) is the best option.
00:13:002 (1,2,1,2,3,4) - I feel like this switch is a bit awkward to play. As i said on 1881723#3589924, this intro is very consistent. Changing it without a good transition would make it awkward.
Instead of what you've done here, i suggest to change this to your previous 1-2-slider combo like previous combo.
i know you want to give some variety, but in my opinion it can be done better if you switch your design instead of your rhythm.
For example, you follow a linear flow since the start of this string section. And for this section, you might want to use a circle-slider back and forth to emphasize the pitch. https://snipboard.io/3nKOef.jpg https://snipboard.io/0SMQRk.jpg
00:00:457 - to 00:35:366 -
I understand the rhythm but i can't put my brain in to your design choice. The spacing is inconsistent and doesn't feel comfortable to play.
For example 00:00:457 (1,2,3,4) - have decent emphasize, the spacing on object (1,2,3) is consistent since there's not much change on the music box pitch, and then you put a bigger spacing on (3,4) to emphasize the higher pitch.
But then on the very next combo 00:02:638 (1,2,3,4) - your spacing is all over the place.
I usually don't mind the inconsistent spacing if it done well, but this intro section is very calm and very consistent on giving the rhythm cue. So having inconsistent emphasize is really not recommended.
