No idea how dead these rating topics are but regardless, I'd like to nominate a technique that I especially like.

Slider Trains

A bunch of short sliders one after the other I guess, no other real way to explain it in words.

Example pictures:

From bubbles - F (Insane)


From Karen - Distorted Pain (Insane)


From dj TAKA - V2 (Another)

Sorry for not updating in a while. My computer's hard drive got wiped and that combined with random freezing has slowed me down. Therefore I'll let any BAT post/update the polls from now on. (just keep my format, please)

Just a question.
What's the point of creating a "Rate the style" thread if that style is used only by one mapper?

Who said other mappers can't use it, though?

And who said a technique changes depending on the mapper?

Nomination:

Windmill Sliders

A series of sliders (usually four in a row) which all originate from a shared center point, making the pattern look like a windmill blade. The sliders may not necessarily be curved, which can instead form a + or X design.

Feel Good Inc. is an obvious example because they show up in sync with the "windmill" lyrics.

Weren't Etna sliders basically an awp creation, but now they're common? And even if he wasn't the first, someone was.

Edit: See, I knew I wasn't the one who came up with "Seibei style anti-jumps". They're in, like, every FFFanatic map. Both kinds.

Nomination:

Wiggle Sliders

SPOILER


Examples are from The Great Don Paolo by me and MetalMario's Space Oddity

These are one (or two on a fast song like the first screen) beat long sliders in a "wiggle" shape where it curves in one direction then the opposite direction. They're used to be a little more interesting than a regular straight slider.

"Hold Sliders" (Could use a better name...)

Sliders where the bpm isn't just 0.5x, but 0.25x or 0.125x (with new red timing panels on each side). Usually the mouse doesn't have to be moved, but its confusing sometimes when the maps pace is fast...
Used to match the music though, not the map's pace.

Djpop uses this quite a bit.

Sudden spacing change like this?

For the above examples, I call them "Chaser Formations," since you have to kind've "Chase" after them. Speaking of which, I had originally had these in my Insane for "Sexy Vampire" but Cyclone said it made the map too hard =(

I think I'll put them back in, just with less distance between them. >_>

I second this. I don't have images at the moment due to being on the laptop, but Imogen Heap - Just for Now uses them, as well, in some respects. I also find myself using this technique when mapping slow songs (IE when I map most things I like).

Dunno how to call this, but I use it now-a-days. (And I see nobody else do it)
It's making an 1/2 slider, copy paste it while turning it verticly and horizantly, and then going on (with a circle or slider) on the beginning of the first slider.

Maps:
Perfume - Wonder2 [Gladi]
The Killers - Mr. Brightside (Jacques LuCont's Thin White Duke Remix) [Gladi's Hard]

That's because overlap sucks.

Nominating honeycomb beats. (Credit goes to m980 for the name.)

Basically, take a bunch of hitcircles, each a 1/2 apart, then arrange them on a hexagonal grid with a confusing (but spaced) order. You need to look at the approach circles or the numbers to figure out where you're going to next because otherwise, there are as many as five possible choices!

Examples:
Billy Fogarty - Jumpin' Jack Flash [Sweatin' / Hard ROCK!]
La Roux - Bulletproof [MetalMario's Hard]

I'm going narcissist here and nominate a technique I often use (and often get hated about).

I'm naming it Oibon Jumps. Oibon is a type of Japanese food, which had a parody in Taiko no Tatsujin wherein you can get enough gas from eating it and fart your way up to the top of Mt. Fuji, or rather emulating super-hyper-OKNFOKD-jumping. And for the fact that I first used it in a Taiko song.

This technique is simple but annoying to play with: two notes that are usually 1/2 apart, but end up being on opposite sides of the screen, hence an enormous jump. This is usually the product of copy-paste + flipping, but at times this can be utilized to full-effect on bumpy songs.

Found in maps:
Taiko no Tatsujin - Kumo Made Todoke [Oni]
Taiko no Tatsujin - Brouken Hiyori [Oni]
Paramore - That's What You Get [Hard]

I'd like to nominate Post-spinner Notes

It's basically a note or series of notes directly after a long spinner at the end of the beatmap.
(And trust me, it catches some people of guard, who think that long spinners = end of beatmap)

Examples:
Hatsune Miku - Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu [Uninstall]

People, please read the rules for nominating.

A few of these nominations have NOT been linking a RANKED map with the technique, which is a pain to look for. All nominations without a link for a RANKED map will be IGNORED. (or probably put to the end of the queue until a ranked map link is posted)

Square formations, eh?

Nominating Modified Square Formations.

Take a square formation but rearrange the order of notes such that at least one pair of notes are joined diagonally.

Examples:

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"

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...



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

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



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

I nominate slider-tick hitsounds (TickSounds?). A lot of people love them, a lot of people hate them. I want to find out where the majority stands.
Only problem is a screenshot doesn't accurately depict them.

Tick-Sounds - A slider tick that has been replaced with a standard hitsound (clap, whistle, finish - usually overlayed with hit-normal/soft for accurate sound)
Owl City - Fireflies by Larto (Hard Difficulty)

00:42:810 - 00:53:477

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.

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.
MM201 wins. I'm all for it being nominated now.
...though I'm sure someone 'sides kingcobra52's gonna have to do it, since he's inactive again(?) :(

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
They're just... jumps.

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
Just looks like retarded jumps to me.

Floating Streams
*An alternation of 1/2 sliders and 1/4th notes that causes the player to feel like they're losing control (or floating) while trying to alternate between holding the sliders and clicking the faux-streams.

Hatsune Miku - Joker | SFG Insane | 01:10:380 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

Hatsune Miku - Uraomote Lovers | Insane | 01:14:023 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6)

Neil Cicierega - The Mysterious Ticking Noise | Hard | 01:11:855 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16)

Weird Al Yankovic - Hardware Store | Impossible | 00:57:733 (4,5,6,7,8,9)

ric - Rislim | ANOTHER | 00:33:591 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)

+Many many more maps.
Aren't these just "deathstreams"

Hold slider are kinda fun to make when it fits :D
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"
Example

And Hyadain - HEAT!!! Vibty's Hard 01:05:832 (1,2) -

Also i would like to nominate Speed down :)
SMiLE.dk - Tokyo Hard and Normal after the second chorus.
Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away several places in Heroic and Legendary
I don't know about these. They are VERY unintuitive, and I haven't seen them around lately. And non-2x slider speed changes might be coming out, meaning these would just be retarded.


Also people, please post maps by two DIFFERENT USERS, this isn't "rate the style". Might open that up later.
I'll excuse the ones that have been nominated right now, as I know of a tonne of maps with those techniques (i think)

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.

I don't get the point. It's like rating "Normal Triangle Pattern" and "Bigger Triangle Pattern".

I would like to nominate Differential Stacks

Basically stacks that consist of notes spaced apart inconsistently from each other in the timeline.
Some sightreading required unless you can really follow the music. Very challenging in hidden.

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?

No; Kanbu deathstreams are Kanbu deathstreams. Kanbu's normal streams are different from her deathstreams. The deathstreams contain shit amounts of sliders, or contain confusing rhythm patterns.

"Alternating" probably works in both senses; alternating circles/sliders; alternating mouse buttons/keys/whatever. It probably just feels like floating to me since I'm a tablet user and am probably floating my stylus around and only using the keyboard of something :V

Crumpled Sliders

Basically, a slider that has a linear setting and uses control points to squash them up together in order to create a sort of crumpled or squashed effect, which in essence, make a slider seem shorter than it is supposed to be. These can come in various forms. Some well known ones are.
