Custom samplesets change the way you structure your hitsounds in the map. Depending on the sounds used, this can expand the potential for quality hitsound usage. And good hitsounds can make the player feel more like they're part of the music, which is what the game is all about.

Graphic skinning doesn't affect the mapping in the same way.

Hehe. It's been a while since someone nominate some mapping techinique. I would like to nominate 2 techniques that I personally very like to use and they are present in almost all my maps. xD

Nomination 1 : Finish Jump

Basically means a jump usually at the end of a combo/lyric to emphasize the "power" of that music part. Usually a triangle jump or horizontal jump, and it fits the music well. Used widely, and I am not sure whether it has been nominated before or not...

Picture example are from my map V -conclusion- and Maze, respectively...
IMAGES!

Example :
gdeath uses quite a lot of this technique
eufonius - Wonder -> Challenging difficulty
Shimotsuki Haruka - Kyouri Haruka -> Hard difficulty

Alace too
(a lot of his maps use such technique)

And of course I used it in my maps too...
dj TAKA - V -conclusion- -> Another difficulty
Savage Genius feat. Oomi Tomoe - Maze

Nomination 2 : Arch Jump

Well, the original typical linear arch jump.
IMAGES

Modified version of arch jump used in my map. *example, -V- conclusion*
This one is inverted/modified arch jump
IMAGES

Examples :
(lazy to find other examples, post my map here instead >.<"")
dj TAKA - V -conclusion- -> another difficulty

Lethal uses it too at the same place (At 01:48:709)

IOSYS - Kyuukyoku Yakiniku Restaurant! Orin no Jigokutei! [Insane] was the one Shinxyn used as picture example.

Also, why isn't Speed Up (section) placed yet in the list og Current Nominations yet...
If you want another map that used it La Roux - Colourless Colour on panic and relaxed is an good example.

Also i call those solo speed sliders for "Hyper Sliders"

wat

I'd classify them differently than overused/long-ass deathstreams. At least Floating Streams™ are usually easier, used much better than plain ol' deathstreams, and more fun imo.

If I understand these correctly:
Deathstream = circlecirclecirclecirclecirclecirclecir..
"Floating Stream" = slider-circle-slider-circle-...

Pretty different techniques imo. Though I don't really get the "floating" part :P Maybe "Alternating Stream" or something?

can we assume that the beginning of the slider doesn't have to be part of the straight line? 'cause you mentioned "a STRAIGHT line of combos", but the beginning of the slider (in the provided screenshot) isn't in the straight line... thing...

Compressed Streams

Those streams that are only 2 or 3 level 3 grids apart (or considerably small compared to the rest of the map). It's used in just about every map using streams.
