I am open to ideas, but I personally do not agree to change it as of now. We can discuss the flow of 04:56:112 (1,2,3,4,5) - in DMs if you want to, but to me it does not break the flow. Furthermore, having 05:02:487 (1,2,3,4) - let players quickly recognise the pattern (compared to if it was changed to something new) because it has been reoccuring in the kiai section.
I think adding a sliderstream here would be quite the spike in difficulty compared to the rest of the map. Kept the reverse-sliders but changed the small sliderstream a little.
I tried fixing it, but it created a lesser aesthetical overlap (if I so say). I think this works, but let me know if I should redo. Otherwise if you have any idea as to how you would place 02:24:588 (1,2,3) - feel free to reopen.
I would argue that the new combo signifies change in the upcoming circles. Furthermore, the guitar and drums have distinctive sounds here 01:58:292 (3,4,5) - . For now, no change^^
At 01:22:366 (3) / 02:50:699 (2) these go at 1/4 beat snap divisor. Since this is a hard difficulty I give the players more time to react when it ends on the red tick. At 03:16:353 (1) the beat snap divisor is 1/3 and I assesed that a 1/3 beat would be enough time to react. Therefore, no change.
I suggest that you change https://imgur.com/a/E4IfZH3 because of unequal distances and overlapping with sliderend. This https://imgur.com/a/h6z58n7 would make it look cleaner and more consistent because of the equal distances between slider and slider head/end and no overlapping with the slider end. Do this same procedure for the timestamps i linked previously ^-^ Again, this is pretty subjective and only a suggestion!
00:37:611 (8) - , 00:47:023 (8) - , 00:47:023 (8) - , 00:49:376 (4) - , 00:54:082 (4) - , 00:56:435 (8) - , and 01:01:140 (8) - as well. These are only suggestions tho as *I* think it would look better but it is fine as is.
- Removed Volbeat from tags
- Doesn't seem like a YouTube link should be the source hence Ranking Criteria says - "Website names, album names, or BMS are not acceptable sources" - so I wont add.
I use this rhythm throughout the whole map so I would argue it is consistent. I understand your confusion about mapping drums/vocals but I don't think this is a problem regarding consistency and it won't confuse players. No change for now.
I made the long combos because he sings "counting days ... " and I thought it would be a fun gimmick. Unless it's an offense to the ranking criteria, I won't be changing this ^-^
The long combo is on purpose (top diff also got this) - because he sings: "*counting* days till it's over my friends". As long as it's not against ranking criteria I probably won't change the NC ^^
