Maybe its just my preferences as a player/playstyle and i can certainly understand how these patterns work with rotation flow or whatever but it doesnt change the fact that when im playing it it feels like im just playing the same pattern and spacing for 5 minutes straight.
00:27:942 the contrast in these slow parts is really weak im pretty sure it even gets easier when the percussion comes in later. 01:00:156 the intensity really steps up here but its hard not to when the song is doing what its doing. The kiais end up being slightly more intense? but only really thanks to like a few spaced triples
Anyway i think the problem mostly comes down to its overreliance on these subtle stacking/angle/rotation techniques (these are good!) but i feel like it forgoes so many considerably more obvious and impactful ways of emphasising the song.
I understand what deca is saying and that the way the spacing is handled is to enable the stuff it does or whatever. But i really dont find myself enjoying a map when im playing the same spacing in a mellow slow part as i am on a peak vocal of a chorus with density extremely similar to the parts sorrunding it.
This all mostly applies until the final kiai where it does try to attempt to seperate itself somewhat with some unique cool patterning and gameplay but it still feels scared to really do anything outside of the difficulty ceiling that was established about 30 seconds into the map.
Just a few more things i suppose.
04:39:689 (7,8,1,2,3,1,2) - I can very much see the intention here but i mean the due to the spacing decrease the the speed is actually quite similar throughout.
02:50:264 (3,4,5,6,7,1) - This is great sure but its literally just one pattern that isnt reinforced at all. Its placed a few more times around the map in random spots that dont really have any connection. It doesnt feel that interesting and espesically not when its done without any consistency.
03:19:239 this stuff with the repeat sliders is cool actually the entire section here is pretty good. Shame when the song peaks it does the most insane nothing pattern ever 03:28:273 (1,2,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,1,2) -.
I think thats really all it comes down to? If it was more consistent and better/more obvious at establishing its ideas maybe it works? The map certainly doesnt try to do anything at all with the difficulty curve doesnt do anything with gameplay outside of "feel" its just mostly the same thing over and over for 5 minutes. I think if ur gonna try and do something like this you have to execute it better. (eg. 01:23:678 (4,5,6) - this is great on the vocal 01:24:359 (1,2,3) - the nerfed rhythm here in comparison is a great with the lowered vocal 01:25:893 (1,2,3,4,5) - and it all culminates in this pretty cool low spacing linear all according to vocal pitch before spinning back up here 01:27:939 (1,2,3,4) -. Its cool! But then it comes to a pattern like 01:35:268 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3) - or 01:41:745 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - where you have these incredible peaks in the song that are completely unrepresented with any sort of spacing or density.)
Thank you for explaining what you like about the map though, my opinion of it is slightly higher now, even if that doesnt change my rating. Theres also a lot more i could go over to reinforce and expand upon my opinion/add nuance but im too bad at seriously typing words on my screen and at that point it would veer pretty off course from anything specific about the map itself. Also im lazy
