Damn, why bitches pressin' my piano?
If you think that you can rap, try to keep up with the tempo
I be runnin' all this shit, like I'm runnin' presidential
I can rap on any beat, just turn on the instrumental

- Changed MP3 from 300+KBPS to rankable status
- GAM3RPRO's gd diff added
- Oni diff added

- HP/OD changes across all diffs
- Updated Inner Oni to actually be an Inner Oni. (mfw 4.51* to 5.5* :trolley:)

-GAM3RPRO's gd diff removed due to it being a bit too difficult for them to map
-willow mods applied
-added language tags/genre tags (bn overriding it since its broken)

-megu timing added/fixed
- changed OD/HP on all diffs
- removed a note not needed
- more mods added through discord dm
- sv/kiai notes are snapped
- if i need to change one more thing i'm going to kms

unsure if you are aware of this, but this cannot even be considered for ranked in its current state, this is below minimum drain time, would need ATLEAST 1 more diff to meet our 1:30 minimum drain time across a set

that is being worked on, a gd was gonna be made sometime soon

yup yup, i forgot for a bit, but i am indeed working on it

soon

With the goal of ranking, I don't think I can mod this as it currently is. I think some fundamental things can be worked on in the diffs.

inner:
- The heavy don usage is not that engaging, especially the repetitive don monos, they can be expressed in more interesting ways with variation in your 5 note patterns, such as ddkdk works at 01:08:551 (35,36,37,38,39) (sorry for being so late into the map, I just put it somewhere I was close to)

- You can overall use a lot more 5 note patterns in an inner oni, you can be a lot more dense within reason, for example, turning 00:59:475 (22,23,24,25) into a kkddk with a note between 24 and 25

- You don't need the constant breaks in an inner, if it's a top diff, you can throw breaks out of the window and represent the song a lot more by filling gaps with triplets, for example 01:09:938 (50,51,52) where a triplet starts at 1/4 snap from 51

Things along these lines are my main issue with the inner, I think there's a lot of sounds you just aren't representing to their full potential.

oni:
Overall, I am quite happy with this diff and would be happy to provide mods once the above and below points are addressed.

muzu:
- Most of the 1/4 triplets lead into pretty uncomfortable 1/2 considering the bpm. I think the patterns need adjusting, for example, 00:59:223 (344,345,346,347,348,349,350,351,352) could be (ddd)kdkkddk, where the last k is added on at the end.
- There are general density improvements to be made, such as only leaving 1:1 breaks between patterns containing a 1/4 triplet and ones only containing 1/2, the density will still be playable and more engaging.
- From the above point, I think some of the 1/2 patterns stretch on longer than they should for this difficulty at this BPM. I think some of the patterns could be cut with 1/2 and maybe 1/4 gaps sometimes, if it works, and as an example for this, I suggest cutting 01:01:239 (358,359,360,361,362,363,364,365,366,367,368,369,370,371,372,373) by removing 368 as seen below


sorry for the yap, but i would be willing to help if you have any questions about the above, just ping me in #mapping, once these are applied i will look into further mods and worked towards ranked on this :)

For Inner only:

I took some of your ideas and added them in, some places you didn't mention also got a few more 5 note patterns and or much longer patterns.

Some patterns were changed from ddd to ddk to follow the lyrics better.

I think you can tell that this song was mostly mapped to the lyrics and not the song.

kudosu for the above btw plskthx :3

given

welp here we go as promised :)

inner:
00:11:955 (37) - Make this a d, for ddkkd; the original pattern is somewhat uncomfortable at this BPM.
00:18:005 (16) - k for variety
00:21:409 (52,53,54,55,56) - make this ddkdk for variety and also follows the song better IMO.
00:23:804 - add a don here, fills the gap that is kinda awkward IMO considering there is still sound here.
00:25:569 (11,12,13) - kkd works better here and adds variety
00:27:586 (31,32,33) - ddk
00:34:518 (93,94,95) - k d d
00:38:047 (119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135) - make it look like the below, there's unrepresented sound here

00:57:584 (9,10,11,12,13,14,15) - ddkkddk for comfort
01:00:105 (35,36,37,38,39) - ddkkd
01:05:651 (9,10,11,12,13,14,15) - kkddkdk

I must also add that everywhere you use ddkkk is pretty uncomfortable, and I would look for alternatives.

oni:
00:12:333 (32) - k for comfort
00:20:400 (32) - ^
00:21:282 (40) - d for comfort into the 5 note after, don heavy is hard for full alt
I'm fairly certain you can spot where I'm going with the above on your own and its gonna feel pretty repetitive to write it all out, i encourage you to take a look at this diff with the above in mind :)

(don't forget kudosu this time plskthx :3)

00:23:804 - add a don here… | it doesn't sound good or fit the song in my opinion in both inner AND oni

besides that, all other mods are applied (hopefully) to your liking, and or changed all that you asked for

modded oni further in vc

thank you for modding my shit oni

bubbled

pop to fix a minor timing issue, may need to update audio file as a result
