04:25:708 (2) - this slider receiving the hyper on its head rather than to the sound on its tail is kind of strange, considering the strong drum-hitclap sound is on that tail
04:25:094 (2) - comparatively with this one its less noticeable given theres no hyper at all, and i do get the whole pattern structure youre going with throughout 04:24:887 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - these, but i feel like the patterning on 04:26:115 (1,2,3,4) - these works better than the two previous instances because the strong drums appear every 2/3 beats, so as a result the hdashes land on the head of every strong sound emphasized here, and feel a lot better as a result
not sure how one would change this while retaining the original intent of the pattern though
00:41:986 (2,2,2) - these three notes have a soft hitnormal despite everything around them having a drum sampleset, change to that latter sampleset so they feel less out of place?
04:07:045 - i get the intent on leaving this tick empty but it feels kind of incomplete given the structure of the whole 04:06:818 (2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5) - pattern, maybe placing a note at the same coords as 04:06:893 (3) - would play better?
03:49:085 - to 03:49:516 - all three sounds between these timestamps are either far earlier or later than they should be
the timing line thats on 03:49:129 - should likely be on 03:49:108 - at 195bpm so the next red tick the sliderend snaps to is on top of the drum sound thats there
conversely the timing line thats on 03:49:473 - should probably be on 03:49:516 - at 198bpm, since thats the timestamp where the snare sound starts (and peaks), rn the slider starts very noticeably early
if it helps, 03:48:828 - this timing line could be set to 215bpm so the drum sounds at 03:48:967 - and 03:49:037 - can be mapped if desired, since the section feels a bit empty without it, but thats your choice in this instance
https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2326617 considering a recent ranked set like this, i dont see why either of the two should apply given the source sets it in the title and doesnt use featuring
i dont see why the pattern is a diffspike beyond the requirement to tapdash at 1/3, if the reason is the kind of movement it requires then 01:57:281 (2,3,4) - this pattern here already primes the player to expect that kind of stop-go momentum, so it doesnt come as surprising
am i allowed to keep as is?
the reason i paired it as 3 groups of 2 is because the way the piano shows up when the general structure of the song hasnt used 1/3s up until this point , and there is intent in the way i laid out the sliders with 01:58:948 (1,1,1) - these being vertical for the lower pitch piano note and 01:59:096 (2,2,2) - these being horizontal for the higher pitch
while i do get why you're suggesting to do 2 groups of 3 i feel like that just homogenizes the patterning in a generic way that doesnt really do the abrupt piano presence justice, thats why i personally feel my interpretation works out best
