Weren't Etna sliders basically an awp creation, but now they're common? And even if he wasn't the first, someone was.Card N'FoRcE wrote:
Just a question.
What's the point of creating a "Rate the style" thread if that style is used only by one mapper?

Do you mean Speed Up as in "this entire section has fast sliders and larger spacing" (Example: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/5346) or Speed Up as in "there's one slider here that's really fast, but everything else is normal" (DJPop style. Example: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/5255).fartownik wrote:

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).Shinxyn wrote:
"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.
These are Flower Combos of order 4.Beuchi-chan wrote:
Hi!I want to nominate these 2 techniques:
~Square formations~
A bunch of hitcircles that form a square shape, usually with a short spacing between them.
Maybe we could call them Switchback sliders? I dunnoGladi wrote:
Dunno how to call this, but I use it now-a-days. (And I see nobody else do it)
That's because overlap sucks.Gladi wrote:

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.
I think you have problems.m980 wrote:

MM201 wins. I'm all for it being nominated now.MetalMario201 wrote:
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.
They're just... jumps.alvisto wrote:
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
Just looks like retarded jumps to me.alvisto wrote:
Nomination 2 : Arch Jump
Well, the original typical linear arch jump.

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

Examples :

I used to keep up with this topic, but now I don't know if something like this has already been submitted...
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.

+Many many more maps.
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.Xgor wrote:

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"

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.

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.0_o wrote:

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?
whatstrager wrote:

"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 :V0_o wrote:
