fucking nonsense spacing and sv speed-ups
squares are fun, imo
I always start laughing when playing this map http://osu.ppy.sh/s/39031, it is so pathetic.Aqo wrote:

This combination of slider + circle, used in neu or shounen ripples, very hard to hit.
Yeah, this is what gives copypaste a bad reputation. Copying sections as-is is completely fine if it's for flow/presentation reasons or if the patterns are interesting enough. That's the key--if something's to be repeated, then it should either be small patterns to create a bigger pattern or a larger pattern or section which looks and feels satisfying. Copypaste can also work as a basis for altering different parts of a pattern, even if it's just to change how the pattern ends.Aqo wrote:

stop with the hatin' everybody ;_;
most hated mapping technique: copy-paste in bad taste.
Like, it's ok if the music has two parts that are exactly the same and the mapper uses the same objects only somehow rotated or mirrored to show that that's fine, but if parts of the map are just arbitrarily a complete copy of each other it's boring as hell to play.
A good map can be hard to read for some people, because different people find different things more readable. Funky offbeat 1/4 patterns can be confusing, but entirely fair when the spacing is used properly and the patterns are repeated enough for the player to get the point.AkagamiNamikaze wrote:
SV changes just for symmetry. Man that annoys me, in 90% of times it's unreadable at first try, and a map should be readable at first try. If it isn't, then it's a shitmap.
You are bad and you should feel bad. Copypaste is how music is made and this is reflected in compelling maps when used properly. Copypaste some patterns directly or modify them slightly to create a consistent feel in a map. If none of the patterns are interesting enough that they'd be fun to play more than once, then go back to the drawing board.AkagamiNamikaze wrote:
COPYPASTE.
I find screen-spanning jumps to be horrendous when they're overused and are very fast. They're good for the odd thrilling part, but too much repetition takes the thrill out of them and they become straight-up annoying.Magicphoenix wrote:

If this is combined, it´s devastating mean. It's just a kind of fake difficulty.AkagamiNamikaze wrote:

DR above 6 + looong combos that make you FC or die hard.
Yeah, true that. It's so annoying; it feels awkward if the song your listening sounds interesting but the map that is supposed to support this feeling destroys this...tetsutaro wrote:
Being an advocate for quality easier maps, I really hate that some of the currently so-called Easy/Normal is simply an endless stream of notes at 1 beat or 1/2 beat, with occasional pairs joined as sliders.

Use a skin that replaces the whistle sound with something else.DarkHenrych wrote:
Whistles. More than one every once in a while gets tiresome :/. I also despise absurd map layouts that have you going back and forth over just two or three notes for the sake of it. And never forget a bunch of notes 'streamed' so far apart that you can actually miss them all not only because you're going to fast, but also because they're so far apart you try to press far before you're on them. Whistles though, get a second mention. I don't mind claps or any other random sound (for real, tennis balls and doors) but whistles blow your focus, particularly when abused. T-T.
I should probably try that, instead of trying to form a well-reasoned argument. Nobody ever listens!Quiz-chan wrote:
