---------------
This is the first time I've ever tried storyboarding/animating/anything related to those kind of things. What I did here is really simple (slideshow backgrounds), but I really liked how it turned out. There are some really skilled fan artists out there.

Anyway, this song is from Sonic Unleashed. Not much more to say besides that ^_^

Hope you enjoy it!

2/3/09 Edit: Changes considering An64fan's & Redfox's suggestions

2/22/09 Edit: Changes from Pasonia

3/2/09 Edit: Used some changes from SFG

3/27/09 Edit: Some more changes from flyboy87

3/28/09 Edit: Nixed (Bowling for Soup) band name in artist name (foulcoon's suggestion)

3/17/09 Edit: Changes a la minyeob + Kiai mode

5/13/09 Edit: Changes via Lokamp

Hard
00:31:68 (1,2,3) - Pretty small, but I noticed the spacing between the end of 1 and 2 is a little different than that between 2 and 3.
02:03:22 (3,4) - This screwed me up. I don't know how I managed to mess up, but possibly consider changing it so that 3 isn't overlapping the end of 4?
03:49:09 (1,2,3) - There were a few triple beats like this... I've always found something like this feels funny, maybe consider making them regular stacked or streaming triplets?

That's the most of what I noticed. The timing is a bit funny on this (especially Insane), although I didn't have any real troubles with playing it, and it was enjoyable, which I think is particularly important. I like both the mapping and the storyboarding. Very nice job with this.

I'm not sure of it, but you should try BPM=208.488 and offset=9,560.
Maybe it will be better.

Alright, changes have been made. I've pretty much made it custom to explain each point, so here goes:

Regarding An64fan's suggestions:
Hard
00:31:68 (1,2,3): Those were actually spaced via the snapper, though where the slider ended and where the (3) was placed was inconsistent with the grid. Shifted them to make it look better
02:03:22 (3,4): That was pretty much intened to slip you up, and I guess it did. For that reason, I decided not to change it, as I think it's allowable. Though if it prevents a ranking, then away it will go.
03:49:09 (1,2,3): I'm not quite sure what you mean here; placement or music sync? I'm fairly certain that I have the beats in sync with the syllables in the lyrics...

I do agree that the timing felt funny in a couple places, despite a couple trials and errors. Which leads me to Redfox's suggested timing:

I gave it a try, and it seems to flow a lot better than my last timing setup. It was fairly easy to resnap and put back together. So hurrah!

Thanks for both of your suggestions!

I can't find any really detectable errors; the only issue is the lack of a Normal difficulty, but again, that's more of a judgment call than a real problem.

Gotta love how some simple panning of still images makes the whole map seem a lot more lively. Well done.

The spacing should be okay since it was distance snapped and the timming looks fine. Also, great design and well put together

[Easy] - Seems fine to me as far I can see.

[Hard] - No errors spotted

[Insane] - Seems okay, just felt a bit overcomed by the fast stacks like
00:49:77 (1,2) but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Think I'll bump...I think this deserves a few stars to help get it on the list...>_>

[Easy]
01:00:78 (1) - sounds weird
01:36:32 (5) - timing is off, maybe move 1/2 earlier?
01:56:61 (1) - stacking this MIGHT be legal and better looking but id feel better if you moved it to the side
02:27:62 (1) - why is this on a blue tick not a white one?
02:57:33 (5) - stack more neatly on the end of 4
03:02:37 (1,2,3) - sounds weird
03:05:39 (5) - make this line up with 4
03:11:72 (1) - move this out from under the prev. slider
03:37:91 (6) - sounds weird


[Hard]
00:49:85 (1,2,3,4,5) - snap this properly to the timeline plz
00:52:15 (1,2,3,4,5) - ^
01:54:31 (1,2,3,4,5) - ^
01:56:61 (1,2,3,4,5) - ^
02:18:34 (5) - delete and re-place the break
02:27:62 (1) - this should start on white tick and end on red
02:37:76 (2,4,6,8) - put this in a nice x shape so it doesnt overlap any sliders~
02:49:56 (4) - delete and re-place break
03:46:83 (1,2,3,4,5) - snap this to timeline
03:49:06 (1,2,3) - move to the red,white,red ticks
03:50:43 (7) - too far from prev. note
03:51:37 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - same as above for respective notes
03:53:67 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - ^


[Insane]
01:01:54 (4) - move to red tick and respace
01:13:01 (4) - spacing?
01:35:60 (2,3,4,5) - make these parallel
02:05:96 (4) - spacing
02:17:48 (4) - ^
02:27:62 (1) - white tick
03:35:83 (4) - spacing?
03:47:34 (4) - red tick, spacing
03:57:30 (6) - red tick?

Right then, here's my response:

[Easy]
*01:00:78 (1) - Just an FIY: I like my "sounds weird" comments with some clarification, and hopefully a suggestion. As such, I'm not sure what you mean here.
*01:36:32 (5) - Nah, the timing's on. I was placing (5) in the lyrics (...to the top I know) much like where slider (2) ends (...as I can go)
*01:56:61 (1) - Fixed
*02:27:62 (1) - Because it falls out of sync it it's on the white tick. I think the band just got ahead of itself here ^_^
*02:57:33 (5) - I think I fixed this...had to do eyeball it
*03:02:37 (1,2,3) - Ok? I was starting & ending the sliders where the guitar emphasized notes as it climbed the scale. Should (3) be longer?
*03:05:39 (5) - Done
*03:11:72 (1) - And done
*03:37:91 (6) - Another guitar emphasis attempt here. I need more to work with here to make improvements.


[Hard]
*00:49:85 (1,2,3,4,5) - ...these are actually snapped, but on 1/8 ticks. I was trying to emphasize the syllables of the lyrics; should I not be doing this? In what way?
*00:52:15 (1,2,3,4,5) - ^
*01:54:31 (1,2,3,4,5) - ^
*01:56:61 (1,2,3,4,5) - ^
*02:18:34 (5) - Done
*02:27:62 (1) - Now ends on red tick, but didn't change start for same reason in previous difficulty
*02:37:76 (2,4,6,8) - ...I don't have a good reason against this, but what I have now is technically correct I think, and I'm rather partial to the pattern
*02:49:56 (4) - Done
*03:46:83 (1,2,3,4,5) - They were on the timeline (1/8's), but I think I agree on shifting them. Fixed
*03:49:06 (1,2,3) - I think you mean move to white, red, ten white ticks? If so, I fully agree and fixed
*03:50:43 (7) - Fixed
*03:51:37 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - same as above for respective notes
*03:53:67 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - ^


[Insane]
01:01:54 (4) - Fixed
01:13:01 (4) - Fixed
01:35:60 (2,3,4,5) - Good call. Fixed
02:05:96 (4) - Fixed
02:17:48 (4) - Fixed
02:27:62 (1) - No, for reasons mentioned for previous difficulties
03:35:83 (4) - ...eh, no because the lyrics are slightly delayed for this particular phrase. Thus the extra spacing in both time and distance.
03:47:34 (4) - Not the case for this one. Fixed.
03:57:30 (6) - No, because it falls too far out of sync with the lyric

Sorry, I was kind of selective there. Thanks for your time!

Ah, more than 3.5 minutes of playing. I think it's a little too long. As I'm rather short on time now, I'll post my suggestions for [Easy], I'm sure you'd be able to figure the other two difficulties, hmm?

Offset - 9565. Which will lead to some changes to your map listed below

[Easy]
23:738 (1) - Move to 23:666 and end your slider at 26:544
48:703 (3) - Extend to 49:279
54:459 (1) - Extend to 55:251
1:24:387 (2) - Extend to 1:24:963
1:33:452 (2) - Extend to 1:34:100

Cool song.

Star~

Can't argue with the new offset, so I changed that.

For the first edit, I moved the spinner to the suggested time, though ended it at 00:26:688 instead, as I think it correlates with the music better.

I also shifted the spinner at 54:459.

I might ask for you to explain the remaining suggestions though, as I'm not sure how they improve the map.

Thanks for your time!

Well, I'm planning to go into full modding for your map later tonight.

I'll post more suggestions here.

Please take into account that what I advise are just merely suggestions. You need not follow them if you choose not to.

Inevitable double post. o.o;;;

Now that you have changed the offset...

[Hard]
19:493 (4) - Extend slider to 19:925
24:529 (1) - I feel that this spinner doesn't fit very here. I suggest that you replace it with some notes.
33:739 (1) - ^
48:703 (7) - Extend to 49:279
49:855 (1,2,3,4,5) - Resnap, please
1:54:223 (1,2,3,4,5) - This part seems off. Arrange them using the 1/6 snap divisor based on the lyrics

[Insane]
49:783 (1) - Remove this note
1:55:086 (5) - Extend to 1:55:470
2:49:574 (1) - It feels better to have a slider instead
3:20:942 (1,2,3) - Resnap to white ticks

That's all from me~

Thanks for checking back! Here's what's what:

[Hard]
19:493 (4) - I like the effect this makes, but I feel it betrays what I was shooting for with the lyrics.
24:529 (1) - Methinks you're right. Notes added. Two other sections not mentioned received similar treatment
33:739 (1) - ^
48:703 (7) - Feels like it falls slightly out of rythm...I'll keep it as is for now
49:855 (1,2,3,4,5) - These are actually snapped to 1/8 ticks
1:54:223 (1,2,3,4,5) - I think I made an improvement here...I hope >_>

[Insane]
49:783 (1) - Just this one? This pattern follows for most of the song
1:55:086 (5) - Extended a bit
2:49:574 (1) - The last two difficulties did that...but I still think the spinner fits a little better here. Kinda gives a solid 'frantic finish' to the section...or something like that
3:20:942 (1,2,3) - Done

Took a while for me to get to that. Anyways, thanks for the mod!

you should probably remove the (Bowling for Soup), makes the artist seem really long and is completely unnecessary.

Made the artist name change, though it seems that the band name still appears in the thread topic
