Round 20: Slider Art
SPOILER (click to toggle)  SPOILER (click to toggle)  Nominated by Shinxyn. Usually placed when there is a long phrase. Consists of a slider that is shaped like an item (in these 2 examples, a Treble Clef and a Star.)

I'm a fan of this only if you have something really interesting and profound and unique to make slider art out of. Way too many maps just throw in a star or a heart for the heck of it, and that's dumb.
That treble clef was badass just because at the time, nobody had done something quite like that before. And also because it is not ugly, which is impressive, given how many chances it gets to become ugly over the long course of the slider.  Osu!

Four, cause these only work well when the follow the music and/or look really nice.
Warning: I take mod requests in the #mod channels and only there. DO NOT forum PM or chat PM or you will go on my personal blacklist. This excludes people who I respect for one reason or another. I have left the MAT as I feel as though I wasn't doing anything to justify being there. |

More often than not, people are blisteringly incapable of creating even simple sliders without issue - and thus most of the slider art we actually do have is shit, with very few exceptions (the treble clef for example).
A 5 for the concept, 1 for the implementation yields a solid three all round. |

That treble clef is ugly as hell.
Avoid close harmonies at lower registers. Check for mono compatibility thoroughly with wide mixes. Opt for volume automation instead of just compression. Detune that sawtooth. Putting effects on the master channel while mixing is basically all seven cardinal sins. |

This gets a 3; it's pretty cool as a visual effect but it doesn't really add anything to the feel of the gameplay a lot of the time, and people try to throw them in when they're not needed at all.
