Hello, my name is NotShinta and today I feel like being an assertive meanie by modding a decent bubble instead of getting to requests. Some words will be replaced with 'pony' and pony references because that's basically just what the song does.
General:--- For consistency and because it fits, you might want to kiai up that last chorus on all difficulties.
--- Do you not have a custom finish pony in your library? Using the default one just really sounds quite awful without the default hitnormal as well.
--- May I ask what, exactly, was wrong with the video? Other than the size, which probably couldn't have been decreased, I thought it was quite a good accompaniment to the map without being too pony or disgusting. In fact the song almost seems made for the video
--- I'm not sure why MS and DC have their difficulties as "swag" while none of the other difficulties follow a swagga theme, and it would seem to make more pony to describe the obvious difficulties in the title, but okay whatever
--- Combo colour 3 very much blends in with the big massive "PONY SWAG" in the background a bit much. It can sometimes not look good and play tricks on the eyes. Might want to contrast it up a bit more. I mean, if you want to, that is.
--- LASTLY, you might have had this pointed out to you before, probably by me and my silliness, but the (feat. Maros) should arguably go in the artist. This is because, as someone put it, Swagberg did not make a song called "Pony Swag (feat. Maros)", but made a song called "Pony Swag" featuring Maros. Your current method would make sense for iPony grouping and things but isn't necessary in osu!, but I guess both are okay anyway.
RC's* Easy-- 01:06:028 (1) - I think these patterns, and ones in the other chorus, would look and flow better without the new combos, despite them still following the "ponies" chant as they currently are.[/color]
- 01:21:528 (2) - If you want to be avoiding HP pony overlaps for some silly reason, here's one that could be avoided.
--- HP bar overlaps and new combos.Some top quality modding on this map, obviously.
Normal:- 00:40:278 (2) - To break the flow of the previous combo (in a refreshing, Normal-appropriate way), think about removing this hitcircle. And fixing spacing, of course, but you know that.
- 00:55:528 (1) - Is this hitcircle necessary? Especially with it's placement low down on the grid, it could be hard to notice or hit immediately for a Normal following a spinner.
- 02:54:028 (1) - Is there any particular reason why this does not follow the symmetry of 02:52:028 (1), like in previous chorus?
NightmareMoonShade's Hard:-- Some of the spacing seems noticably inconsistent for the sake of it and difficulty (e.g. 00:40:528 (2,3,4), 01:19:028 (4)), as it doesn't add much, but this difficulty is very good.
- 00:46:028 (6) - I think this is a bit needlessly mean, being arguably hidden under a previous slider start. I am all for the jump though, so maybe move it to
around here.- 02:26:778 (4,5,6) - You pony want to move this a grid3 to the right, love. It makes the pattern look
a lot less uneven that way.
Insane:---
I hope this puush from May sums up my general feelings about this difficulty. Oh yeah 20% cooler 10 seconds flat yay the fun has been doubled or something
I'm sorry I accidentally made my General bit a wall of text. It's probably a clusterfuck that probably fucked us up. Very nice map, I'm so tired I can't even remember why I started modding it though, so I'll happily rebubble if need be. The song's ironic encouragement of killing oneself upon saying ponies are not awesome disturbs me though
*(not a combination of RJ and DC, for better or worse)
