Since there's a new sub-forum now (Thanks Echo!), I decided that instead of posting nominations in the threads, they can be posted here. :)

In order to nominate a technique, you must have and post:
  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 link to atleast 2 ranked maps that have the technique. (The specific point in the map would help too)
PLEASE! Bold the name of the nomination so it is easier for us to notice!

Please only nominate one technique at a time (can't have 2 techniques nominated by the same person in a row.)

49. Differential Stacks
50. Krisom-Krosses

Either you missed my suggestion or you thought it sucked but i post it again if it was becuse you missed it

Segment sliders

This technique is many sliders on a row (this technique is often used with Etna sliders) and when a slider ends the next slider is placed there.

0:46:612 on Marisa wa Taihen na Mono wo Nusunde Ikimashita [Normal] is a good example of that :)

I don't think there any point in nominating Blanket Combos since there really isn't any reason for anyone not to like them. Basically it'll be a bunch of 4's and 5's and comments on how professional and nice looking it is.

Also, another nomination

Flower Combo
Basically a combo shaped like this
_1_2
6_7_3
_5_4
or something similar (will get screenshot and example later today)
Alace's Hyper in Marie Antoinette
James' Bad Apple

etc.

Two both used in Don't Stop Me Now, both involving sliders. The first is sort of "nesting" a circle in the curves of a slider:


And sliders sort of curving into each other:

Oh, sorry. Nominations have their own thread now.

This is the name I give to the 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.

These are seen in 3oh!3 - Starstrukk and Dialga Palkia Battle, among other places. Very popular in EBA.

It noticed when playing IKU - Ko no Me Kaze, but many other ranked maps have this kind of "mapping technique".
It consists of two (usually) mirrored sliders with a beat in between. Sliders may also have other shapes than curved.


(i took this screen at 0:24:112 of the map linked above)


(i took this at 0:49:910 of Gojou Kai - Border of Life )

Sorry, i don't know what kind of name to give it >.<

Given that the hitcircle acts as the origin or central focus of the pattern, and the sliders float around it in orbit like some kind of orbital slider electrons, I'd call it...

also Mega DJPop Deathstreams - still, deathstreams would be an interesting topic, you'd get some good discussion/controversy/flaming/polar opposite arguments going on with that one. Like faceman said, Blanket Sliders would be a mass of 4s, 5s, and general praise since they're delightful and artistic in a good way.

I thought the above is a common sight in the original games?

Ouendan1's variations tend to be more boomerang-shaped, whereas Ouendan2 likes to use closer to complete circles.

@awp: I use Orbital Electron Sliders all the time. Sort of a Blanket meets Mirror type thing.

"Slider Art"
They're mostly pretty, but sometimes seems like its very hard to follow during play, so I wonder if players like how they're more focused on looks rather than how it plays.

Examples-
Hatsune Miku - Shooting Star
SPOILER
Hard to follow

Megurine Luka- Just Be Friends
SPOILER
The Common Heart shape, does it appeal?

Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You (not yet ranked)
SPOILER
Even Letters/Words
