[Normal]

00:14:33 (TIMING SECTION) - Remove Kiai Time, it doesn't fit.
00:20:14 (TIMING SECTION) - ^
00:23:97 (6,7,8) - Put these notes 1/4 later.
00:33:06 (1) - Shorten this slider 1/8.

PLEASE, respace the whole map! The whole difficulty it's spacing is messed up.

ok let see

[Hard]
00:38:33(x) - add a note here, maybe, or extend slider end to that point
00:41:97(8) - to close to 7, ppl will hit it earlier thats for sure. try making more space between 7,8
00:53:15(1,2) - place it 1/4 beat later, also make that slider ends at 00:54:33
00:54:60(3,4) - move 1/4 beat later (next white tick)
00:59:42(2,3,4) - put this closer, if u placing with the same distance of (1) will get confusing
01:00:88(2,3,4) - ^
01:03:79(5,6,7) - ^
01:14:69(3) - too far form 2
01:02:33(2) - i think it sounds better if you make this slider end at 01:02:69 and then return it
01:05:24(10) - same as above, return arrow at 01:05:60
01:11:06(4) - maybe return each 1/2 beat
01:13:97(2) - ^
01:22:69(11) - sounds odd when u return a slider in a blue tick.. try to check this out, u have a couple of this in the map , i think sounds better at white n red tick. try it
01:22:69(12) - also, the return points r out of place


[Normal]
00:09:60(1) - make this slid end half beat later
01:02:33(2) - same
01:13:97(2) - same
01:16:51(3,4,5) - look at the timeline,t his should be more separated


if is complete i recommend u to add a break in both diffs, doesn't have to be too long, just to reposition of the hand...n_n


good luck n_n

If I do that, It doesn't End at the beginning of the u syllable, I'll leave it as it is for now, but everything else is fixed.

Thanks for helping!

Normal:
00:09:60 (1) - end a quarter note earlier
00:14:33 (1) - align with 5?
00:44:88 (3) - align with 2?
01:15:79 (1,2,3) - make this section have equal spacing
01:26:15 (4,5) - y is the spacing so large here
01:34:60 (4,5,6,7,8) - from what I hear, you should make these notes all on half and whole notes because the quarter notes either don't snap to anything or are not very obvious

Hard:
I don't like the small circle size
00:02:69 (2) - make a horizontal reflection of the red 2
00:16:88 (2,3,4,5,6) - a little annoying to read
00:21:79 (7,8,9) - make spacing equal in this section
00:46:33 (3) - have this end directly on the end of 2
00:47:79 (2) - have this end directly on 1
00:51:60 (5) - align with 4?
00:52:51 (8) - restack this under 6
00:53:15 (1) - if you want to follow the lyrics, this slider should end at 00:53:51() -
00:57:42 (1) - have the repeat sign be under the end of the blue 1
01:00:15 (5) - stack under the red 1
01:09:24 (3) - align with 2?
01:11:06 (4,5) - overlapping sliders and wrong spacing....
01:16:51 (9) - align with 8
01:20:88 (6) - shouldn't this align with 2 and 3?
01:22:69 (11) - put under the 9

Hearts Parallel:
00:01:24 (3) - make the same distance from 2 that 1 is
00:02:69 (3) - " "
000:05:60 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - please make the spacing equal
00:17:42 (5,6,7) - sudden growth in spacing?
00:23:88 (8,9,10) - it looks ugly placed under the rest of your combo
00:30:88 (3,4) - align with 2,1 respectively
00:37:60 (5) - align with 4?
00:40:88 (5) - stack on top of 3
00:41:97 (9) - y is this so close to 7?
00:42:51 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1) - stack all of these sliders without grid snap
00:46:33 (1) - end directly on the green 1
00:53:15 (1) - same as normal
00:53:51 (2) - start this a quarter note later and end where it is currently
most of the other mistakes I see in the map are similar to the ones above, so use the ones above as examples to fix the whole map.
other things I noticed:
01:42:33 (2,3,4,5,6) - hard to read
02:16:15 (9) - new combo
02:25:24 (10) - " "
02:27:79 (14) - " "

Nice map.Just needs to neaten up a bit. Star.

Thanks mrtn and armin for your suggestions! most things were carried out, but slider ticks stay at 0.5, mrtn, otherwise certain parts sound messed up :)

    Hm... I won't type anything more about hitsounds right now, cause there is too much of it.. Now there is starting a second verse, so try to put hitsounds schematically, like I write it here.
    03:30:972 (8) - Delete this note.
    03:31:184 - Move this note 1/6 forward.
Enjoy. Starr'd.

I don't have a lot of time, so I'll probably not see everything, but here we go.

First of all, I found that another offset works better for me...
Offset: 1.225

And then I would suggest another BPM, but I found out this is not possible in Hard because of the slider velocity on hard.
BPM: 82.5
I would just leave it like it is now.

Normal:
I use grid level 3, and my offset.
00:39:406 1, 2, 3 Move down 1
00:41:588 4, 5 Move up 1
00:42:497 1, 2 Move down 1
00:44:861 3 Move down and left 1
00:52:315 5, 6 I don't know what's wrong with this (probably nothing)... The spacing is fine, but it seems to be too close. I may be the only one with this problem but I found it helps if you make these two into a stack.
00:57:770 2 Move somewhere else (spacing)

And IMHO, the sample volume may be a bit louder, but that's up to you.

And now I have only little time to nag about hard, but that was quite cool anyway ^_^

Hard:
00:16:679 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 This shape is a bit out of order, maybe end left instead of right?
00:46:125 3 Again, this may be me, but this slider seems to be placed unfortunately...
00:53:225 1 This slider can be replaced by a circle.

And then I ran out of time :P

This is a really bad mod I know. It's been a while I last modded, and almost all of these points are really optional.

What I have to say about your map though, is that the song sounds really good and some parts are really nicely mapped.
You did include a lot of traps though :D

OH MY GOD 10MB MP3. Compress it?

Hitcircles are not symmetrical, did you mean them that way? They look a bit weird.

Recompress PNGs too. They all can be smaller without quality loss (PNG is lossless at all).

Make cursor trail half-tranparent. Or even 70% transparent, maybe.

Also, I am sure that it's possible to make clock move smoothly.

[Normal]
Fun. Some nazi-modding:
00:14:33 (1) - 1-beat slider?
00:16:69 (1,2) - add another note after them. There should be 3 circles, like 00:18:88 (3,4,5).
00:20:15 (1) - 1-beat slider?
00:22:51 (1,2) - add another note after them. There should be 3 circles, like 00:18:88 (3,4,5).
01:09:60 (x) - add note here?
01:15:42 (x) - add note here?

Also, I didnt even notice that the clock was moving.
Also, it wierdly flashes at the end, when it's fading out.

[Hard]
I like it.

[Hearts Parallel]
04:05:60 (1) - maybe remake this heart using Catmull-Rom curves? (Options -> Slider curve type -> Catmull-Rom) It can look more heart-like and still smooth then.


Star, definitely.

Make cursor trail half-tranparent. Or even 70% transparent, maybe. 50%

Also, I am sure that it's possible to make clock move smoothly. That would most likely involve adding even more png's. although I believe the storyboard is so subtle, it wouldn't really affect the beatmap at all how smooth it is

Also, it wierdly flashes at the end, when it's fading out. Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. a little too large scale section at the end was the culprit
