Round 17: Rainbow Sliders

Image
Nominated by MetalMario201. Large, arc-shaped sliders which generally take up one half of the screen. Best used in places with long, climactic, held notes, sort of like spinners. EBA is just full of them.

Map(s)
Most EBA maps.
eg. Kevin Ridel - Without a Fight

this is basically just a slider shape imo
Love~
I dislike these in most cases.

Dunno why. Must be because of DJPop's 2x abuse. =]

2. Nothing special.

I prefer shapes like zigzags or waves or loop-the-loops or circles/stars/hearts/whatever over these.

Awesome technique. Can easily take the cursor from one side of the screen to the other (Screen Usage). And it is pretty when done well.

I like the look of these and can give a nice break to a hard map but not be a break. 4 only cause they can also kill you with not enough ticks and low HP.

I have left the MAT as I feel as though I wasn't doing anything to justify being there.

A lot of the time these can flow extremely well with the music; I wish people would use them more often.

Tell DJPop to use them less often.

They're nothing too special, but I like them. When used well, they give some sort of EBA-like feeling.

While not necessarily the most beautiful or creative technique, they are a good time waster and a good break for harder maps when you need a break. However, I have seen plenty of abuse (by DJPop), and it is very easy to improperly use these if you're just starting mapping and have no idea if it will flow correctly or not. 3.

They're sexy when used with kiai and a non-fast slider velocity with maybe a couple of repeats thrown in <3
