Edit: End-Cutter Sliders it is.

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.

Double Spinners

Self-explanatory from the title. A technique where you use two spinners in a row, usually to make a hitsound for the next spinner without the use of a circle or pre-spinner note. (There are ranked maps which use 3 in a row but are very rare)

The common usage of this technique is either before a break or near the end of a song.

Dragonforce - Fury of the Storm by lesjuh [Expert] - This is one of the rare triple ones.



Pendulum - Watercolour by Larto [Insane]



Alex C. feat. Yasmin K. - Angel of Darkness (Nightcore Mix) [Lily's Hard] - Example where a break or the end of the song isnt after the technique

Nominating: tieff's double beat jump - Call them whatever you guys want.

The main idea of this is: group of 2 circles separated with a larger spacing than the spacing between the two circles in the group, and generally are placed almost parallel, and each group has a new combo.

It's important to make each slider like spider leg. That's why this^ is bad example.

Sometimes I find it more appropriate to actually slow the slider speed down during the chorus instead of speed it up. Perhaps change the wording of the description?

Err... I'm not sure if anyone has nominated this, but here I go anyway:

Curl sliders


Chayanne - Torero [Insane]


The Good Natured - Be My Animal [Rukarioman's Extreme]


Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober [Insane]


Panic! at the Disco - The Ballad of Mona Lisa [Panic!]


Pretty self-explanatory, these are sliders that "curl up". They can be used when the music goes from higher pitches to lower ones, or vice versa.

A link to atleast 2 ranked maps that have the technique. (The specific point in the map would help too)

Name: Jumping Slider Stream
Description: It consists of repeated slider streams that suddenly jump with a 1/4 beat, Jump Stream i guess... (1/3 beat is also the same)

I'm not sure if this technique has been nominated before, but at least I should try nominating it:

Jump Pauses (I can't find any better name orz)

Description : Basically notes which separated much (~1/1 or more) on the timeline, and placed after a jump. They are placed so closely (or even stacked) so they gave a "pausing" effect. Could also be continued again with another jump.

Examples :

Ikareru Kin no Shishi - G59 ~ Hyper
DJ YOSHITAKA - ALBIDA ~ Manten
Rex - Heart of Witch ~ InoStyle

From what I see this is much used accompanying a dominant bass sound (:

After seeing the "Drain Section" I'm nominating the Recovery Section (aka new combo spam :P)

Basically it's the usage of many new combos in a certain section of the map, preferably right before the chorus or the repeat of the chorus. It works best with higher HP drain rates and is supposed to "heal" the player right before the more challenging part is starting. Also there can be more of them e.g. to recover after a hard section.

There are many maps with new combo "spam" but I don't know if the mappers had the recovery-technique in mind, so I will post 2 of my own maps where I intentionally used this:

Map #1: HTT - NO, Thank You! (TV Size)


Map #2: Rina Satou - Keikenchi Joushouchuu (TV Size)


In both examples I used the new combo section right before the chorus repeats. I think "NO, Thank YOU!" is the better example since the HP drain can be pretty harsh if you don't have a good accuracy (~95% or higher).

I have one I want to nominate, I see this popping up more and more

Stream Jumps

A change in spacing in the middle of a 1/4 stream to create a very quick jump, usually accompanied by a new combo

Some mappers use sliders before a stream jump to make the jump easier.

Examples:
Oriental ST8 - Shoreline
http://osu.ppy.sh/b/34715

A stream jump on a slow song
100-200-400 - Fascination MAXX
http://osu.ppy.sh/b/56549

A large stream jump on a 200 BPM song
DragonForce - Cry for Eternity
http://osu.ppy.sh/b/92051

Some stream jumps in the 170bpm section, these using sliders before the stream jumps to make them easier.

Crushing Sliders

Using highspeed (mostly 1/8-)sliders for some kind of flowcrash, mostly with the same volume as usual or a higher one (using a [custom-]clap-hitsound increases the crushing effect) - those don't destroy the whole flow but bring some kind of reset to the map, if you get what I mean.

Examples:

[box=IOSYS - Marisa wa Taihen na Kanbu de Tomatte Ikimashita (DJPop) [Love:4104f]]
Well, not the best example, but everyone knows it and you know what it sounds like - a big crash
[box=t+pazolite - Chipscape (Shiirn) [Ragnarok:4104f]]
Good example for using those
[box=Noisia - Groundhog (Beat Juggle) (Takuma) [!ignore this:4104f]]
Also a quite good example
[box=Renard - Banned Forever (Blue Dragon) [Nogard:4104f]]
Just wawawawawawawa-sliders~Hope you got what I tryed to explain, kinda tired :cry:

@Crushing sliders: I'd say that those are a bit unrankable (especially Marisa-style ones where you can't even read that they're sliders unless you know the map), but they are quite memorable and iconic!

The Diff. starts easy and then it gets harder and/or harder so it could feel like an epic match or boss fight.(see Two Steps From Hell)
Most time used in the beginning of a Song.
Difference between this and Drain time is that it doesn't effect the Drain bar so/that much.

If I may revive this thread, then I'd like to nominate something pretty neat:

Treadmill Sliders



So called because of their use with the treadmill choreography of OK Go - Here it Goes Again, these consist of elbow sliders which dip at the end. They're generally combined with circles on offbeats and their effect is generally a satisfying left-right motion, which creates a gradual movement up or down.

Other maps include:

Mika -Grace Kelly



Leslie Hall - Tight Pants / Body Rolls



Doppelman - Error!!

Good point! I haven't contributed anything to the wiki yet, so if I ever feel like it, then I'll add some things like that. Having said that, I'm curious to know waht other people think of those kinds of patterns, because I'd love to see them used more often.

I have there a question. Is it possible to add Mapping Techniques for Taiko too?
Because I would really like to see what people think about certain patterns and the use of 1/6 in different constalations plus the use of finishers, SV changes and more.

There are so many things unclear yet and it would be just opportune to use this forum for taiko as well.
In Taiko we do also have certain mapping styles which effect the whole map and it's patterns, so knowng the opinion about some guys would be great.
