moddddd

General:
- mapset lacks tags, you should include the genre (electronic) and language (instrumental), maybe some additional ones for specifics related to the genre (though i'm clueless how to genre xd), the game (konami, bemani, ddr), your old username (arnen) and include kyooti/scrimmy in tags as he hitsounded the mapset
- in source, specify that the ddr game this song appears in (i believe it is DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2)
- song title should be DEAD END("GROOVE RADAR" Special), with the "" added
- one of the difficulties doesn't use countdown (Difficult), while the other two do, so choose if you'll have it or not on all diffs

- Simple:
- AIMod complains about 4 sliderends not being snapped, so fix those (01:20:174 (3) - 01:22:700 (3) - 01:24:595 (2) - 01:25:226 (3) - )
- 01:15:754 (1) - i feel like a repeat like this isn't something that should go in a low difficulty like this, would suggest a longer 3/2 lenght slider (so it's the same lenght without it being confusing for a beginner player)
- 01:18:280 (1) - ^
- 01:20:806 (1) - ^
- 01:23:332 (1) - ^

- Difficult:
- "Object's end is slightly unsnapped! Off by -2ms. - 01:15:594" - AIMod
- 00:42:912 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - this pattern is a little confusing in it's spacing, but i like it a lot… i'd suggest moving 00:43:385 (2,2,2) - to x:256 y:128, so spacing between sliders is more even, and if you do that, move 00:44:806 (1) - lower as well
- 00:50:491 (1,2,1,2) - this feels boring to hold… i think this could benefit from something done similar in top diff, where 00:50:491 (1,2) - these two are half as long, but there's four reverse sliders, but with more buffer time between each, and as for 00:53:017 (1) - split this into 4 reverse sliders with 1 repeat, so this section is a little more interesting

- Expert:
- 00:21:991 (4) - this feels incorrectly placed, as its supposed to be place between 00:21:912 (3,5) - for equal spacing
- 00:38:333 (2,3,4) - placement of this feels really bad as it overlaps 00:37:543 (6,7,8,9,1) - in an ugly way, considering moving that stack somewhere else
- 00:40:069 (6) - this also feels unintentionally placed in the wrong spot
- 01:35:964 (1,2,3,4,5) - move this stack lower so 01:36:122 (3) - perfeclty overlaps 01:37:069 (9) -

that's all from me :p
for now >:p

Sorry for keeping you waiting! Had some student life things taking my time away. Thank you for modding though.

Hi! This map is cool! But we have a spread problem.

The gap between Simple and Difficult is too hard. The Titanic Ranking Criteria states there should be no gaps on difficulties. These two diffs are 2*'s apart and in my opinion that warrants having an intermediate difficulty. I think having a difficulty around 3.0* would solve this issue. The gap you have between Difficult and Expert is fine imo.

Simple:
01:17:017 (2,3,1,2) - I am hugely opposed to reading based patterns like this in Easy/Normals. Reading is usually the weakest skillets among players. Keep the flow more obvious on this difficulty. This applies to all the times you do it after too.

That's pretty much all I have to say for now

Oh well, here it is, the problem that I have feared the most.

One BN (I do not remember which one was it, probably Kurboh but unsure) said that this kind of spread should be at the very least passable. Now I'm unsure what to do because I wanted to keep a strictly 3-difficulty set, would completely remapping the [Difficult] difficulty work? If not then I'll maybe take a GD or something, thanks for pointing that out!

I'll apply the mods a bit later!

Finally got myself to finish the interposed difficulty. [Medium] is now fully completed and ready for modding!

00:53:017 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - you could definitely make this pattern more interesting other than just a straight stream

01:04:385 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5) - i would buff the spacing here

other than that the rest of the diffs seems okay to me

Heyoooo, mods checked! Again, please check the fresh Medium diff :P

Medium difficulty:
> 01:16:701 (5,5,5,5) - move these objects to up direction from slider heads of next sliders
> 01:29:648 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - make these objects to be more symmetrical (same spacing between objects)

some thoughts on Medium!!!!

If we are supposed to follow DDR SuperNova's SP / DP difficulty naming scheme, it would be better to change the diffname on [Simple] to [Basic].

Thanks for mods :3

i'm alive

Medium:
- just a suggestion, i believe the intro of the map (00:13:859 - 00:34:069) is a bit dense and that maybe you should remove some objects here and there so it isn't just constant beats
- 01:15:437 (3) - Object's end is slightly unsnapped! Off by -2ms. - AiMod
- 01:20:174 (2) - Object's end is slightly unsnapped! Off by -2ms. - AiMod
- 01:16:701 (5,1) - i think the distance between these two objects is way too small, a player will likely hit 01:17:017 (1) - too early, so would suggest to distance these a bit more from eachother
- 01:19:227 (5,1) - ^
- 01:21:753 (5,1) - ^
- 01:24:280 (5,1) - ^

that's all :p

Tq for mods! I swear, I'm about THIS close to snapping AiMod's neck, like what do you mean they aren't snapped? I never changed anything to cause unsnapping, but anyways, thank you :3

Converted all the perfect curves (thank you, majikiti for a way to check for them lol), checked hitsounds, changed tags a little bit and shat up the AiMod.

Hopefully, this is the final update. Ready for bubbling.
