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:
  1. Laura Jane - La La [Sweatin'] (iNiS)
  2. Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Nights in Blue [Normal] (MetalMario201)

"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.

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"

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 >.<"")

Yusuke Takahama - X - Tunnel Scene [Insane] (At the end)
LOVERIN TAMBURIN - Aishitageru [Hard] (01:12:026 (2,3,4,5) )
Niko - NIGHT OF FIRE [Hard](I think 00:41:316 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) could be cosidred as a extended version of this Technique)
Yet another Square formation.
This is pretty much a regular Square formation but the second and third circle have changed places with eachother

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.

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)

"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.

Nothing was holding it back. I'm just a lazy bum.

While I'm here I may as well nominate a technique.

hiMMDivebomb Combos

(Props to MetalMario201 for the name)

Consists of a STRAIGHT line of combos travelling from somewhere near the top of the screen (or the middle) to somewhere near the bottom. The last note is almost always a slider. Divebomb combos vary in size.

I'd like to nominate Pre-spinner Notes

It's basically a note/end of slider directly before a spinner.
The note gives the "beat" while the spinner provides resolution to that beat.
The spinner usually follows 1/2, 1/3/ 1/4 or 1/6 after to not sound disjoint from the note.
In fact earlier maps just overlapped the note and the spinner.

It's like a slider but for longer time intervals.

Examples:
Tomohito Nishiura - Professor Layton's Theme [WyndII's Mix]

QQ Diamond

Four circles placed one beat apart from each other in a diamond pattern along the four edges of the screen, which makes them jumps, albeit easy ones (unless the BPM is really high I guess). I call it QQ Diamond because it appears in like every kioukiou map ever.

SPOILER

I suppose a variation could be to swap the positions of the 2 and 3 in the above screenshot, but I rarely see that.

Example maps that use this pattern:

Sort of, but what you posted is a bunch of notes at 1/2 beat distance, and the circles themselves are very close together, so it plays totally different from the pattern I posted.

Basically, they are 4 notes set in an formation that makes the player "spin" clockwise (or CC) at a high speed. They are a bit similar to small jumps in distance and streams in reaction time. Therefore, the name tornado :3

I'd say that Tornados could be classified separately since they have a long duration of time (repeating). Also, it's even better when the pattern rotates/moves around (as seen in some Shinxyn maps). <3

A tiny update about tornados: They could be done with 3 notes also.
Check : Megurine Luka - DYE

SPOILER

Will that affect your response about square formations '-'?

Nominating another

Central Anti-jumps

A note/slider placed in the center of other notes and/or sliders but spaced the same in the timeline.
It's a more recognizable form of anti-jump I believe.

Examples:
SPLAY - Drawing Days (TV Size) [Wynd-y Days]
SPOILER

Norikazu Miura - Traces of the Sindar Civilization [Crimson Sky]
SPOILER

Hatsune Miku - Joker [SFG Insane]
SPOILER

Christophe Mae - On s'attache [Hard]

Oh my. Not thought to open this topic. I repeat my post here.

Hi. I have suggestions

How about From-To Slider?
Map: REDALiCE - Bad Apple!! (NachoPiggy's Intense) sure there are other maps

And one more:

How about Art circle way?
Map: Nico Nico Douga - Haruhi of The Sprite Tribe (DJPop's Insane)
Boots Randolph - Yakety Sax (Ridiculous) and many others


Ok, if you like, was happy to help

There has to be a description or something or else we won't know what it is.

From what I can see,

From-To sliders are sliders that either end at or converge from a single point?

Art circle way are notes that form circular patterns???

Yes, you're right. These sliders converge at one point, or proceed from one point

This beautiful line of circles. Not just a straight. Yes it looks nicer

From to sliders are windmill sliders pretty much

I think most types of "art circle way" can be their own beat formation and mapping technique but idk

Step Too Fars. (dig it? [*sigh* orz])

Basically, it's a constant stream pattern, but you go back one note, and head another direction.

SPOILER


Maps with this technique:
Yokkyuu Fuman
m-flo loves CHEMISTRY - Astrosexy
My Chemical Romance - The Sharpest Lives
Kawada Mami - See visionS (TV Size)

there are probably more

For those wondering, I've let NoHItter continue with these threads. If he sucks at it, I'm gonna tell him to stop lololololol.

But it looks like his first one is pretty decent so yeah.

By the way, I'll try to post one nomination per day.
If ever we run out, maybe I'll start posting a new one once per week?

Sounds good. There are only so many different techniques that aren't too similar to another.

Star Formation

A pattern of at least 5-6 circles placed in a way so the followpoints looks like a star.
Most commonly a jump but it can also be spaced.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards In Winter[Insane]00:49:164 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - Earilest example I know
IOSYS - Poinsettia[Insane]Later part's of that difficulty is almost only that.
Susumu Hirasawa - Big Brother00:57:372 (1,2,3,4,5) , good example of a bit more closely spaced star formation and usage of 5 circles (5 circles is usually more common)

Well here is a pending map that uses it :P
Too lazy to lurk in maps if they have it.

I'm nominating Drain Sections, when a difficult beatmap suddenly gets slower or less difficult in an attempt to either match the song better or cause the HP bar to drain.

Couldn't it also be a 7 or 9 point star?

@sapphireghost
I hate those. Also you need ranked examples
