Round 4: 'Etna sliders!'

Image

A pretty obvious choice, as many people use them. Originally coined by awp and named after a character from Disgaea who appeared in one of his maps, these are usually composed of several to many continuous 1/2 sliders in a row, with nothing else in-between. They can go in any direction and there are usually plenty of them.

Current Nominations:
Zig-zag slider jumps

Nomination requirements:
1. (Optional) A name for the technique (it can be an official name or one you make up)
2. An accurate description of the technique (or alternatively, a screenshot of the technique)
3. A ranked map that has the technique so I can see it in action.
Viva la Cobra!

Currently pending:
Beyonce feat. Jay-Z - Crazy in Love (+19)
Ikaruga - Chapter 1 (Ideal) (+17)
I love etna's.

Arguments against etna's are void.

Oh, I always though etna sliders were the really long ones that went with the background.
Like the Longcat's Song sliders. :o

They're just fine as long as they don't overlap and when they go with the music.
Gameplay, cosmetic, remark, badly applied mods, ranking guidelines.

Love 'em. They're great to spice up hard maps and are fun to play.
I used them in Dicks are for my Friends and I love that map =3
This is not what I stand for.

worst mapping technique ever.

05/5

No, I did not forget to put a decimal or anything of that sort.

Yup, I like them. Only time they bother me is when they overlap each other, as they did in the original Etna map

Oo forgot about those, yeah I hate it when they are on top of eachother, if we are including those in the "Etna Slider" category I'll have to drop my rating.

If they overlap or are done poorly they count as Etna sliders, as long as they are a series of 1/2 sliders.

That said, I gave it a 4. Love them overall, unless they are used for 80% of the map, overlap, or make no sense. Most cases it's all good, though.

I can't decide between 4/5 or 5/5. I love them, but sometimes they're overused. But sometimes I love them when they're overused ahhhhhhhh aldskjf *5's*

I think the technique should be rated and not the general application of the technique.

Either way, I love them <3

The heads/tails of them can overlap a little bit and still be considered proper, but Etna sliders are usually too short to actually intersect one another when being used properly

Proud lover of Etna sliders.
