An option for mappers to disable the star fountain for a Kiai section. Just start the flashing and cursor effects.

An option for mappers to double/half the flash rate per section.

An option, available to players, to dim the background during Kiai Time. This is not a disabler. Some maps abuse Kiai Time with light backdrops to white out the screen and keep the player from seeing what they're supposed to do.

An option, available to players, to disable cursor stars during spinners. If you make small circles, the cursor just looks like a white blob and you can't keep it on center. This unfairly favours players who make large circles.

I agree on that one, it's super annoying when the flashing is abused, for example the La Roux - Tigerlily map, when playing Taiko every x2 note unleashes a flash and thats distracting as hell.

Agreed highly.

Disagreed highly. I spin small and have no issue with kiai spinners.

For your other requests, I don't support or oppose them.

Also, being able to third the flash rate would be nice.

I've mapped two songs now, one of them ranked, where I had to map a 6/8 song at 1/3rd BPM so the Kiai flashes don't blind people, but when I do that, sliders/drumrolls play really poorly in Taiko mode.

edit: I fail at quoting

I really think that what is needed is a slider in options than controls the density and opacity of all effects that use the kiai stars. I'm sure some people will always complain, but being able to tone it down (or turn it up) according to one's own preference would be a good compromise.

Your specific suggestions are all good as well though.

What about always shooting stars to the outside of the screen

This would be nice, but I also can't see why something that deserves flashing notes, wouldn't have the fountain, so I'm kinda neutral on this.

I agree, some maps may have the flashing too slow or fast depending on the point of the song.

Neutral, as this has never been a problem to me.

I'm the same as strager, I'm a small circle spinner and I'm just fine, I think the only people this would affect would be those who get extremely close to the center, who I assume would be able to have it under control since what they're doing without the kiai on still take much skill.

If you want to Kiai a chorus, and the chorus has a one-measure "lead-in" before the "big bang", you may want to have Kiai on that lead-in, too. Currently, there would be fountain splashes on the side at the beginning of the lead-in, but if that feature is implemented you could have fountain splashes only at the "big bang" part.

Also if you want to flash out more complex patterns.

...I spin large and I can't find my cursor after the spinner because of all the stars.

I would also like the converse, kiai fountain without the flashing. I know it can be done by using two sections right next to eachother but it's an annoying way to do it.

But possible, unlike its complement.

Awesome. I usually lose track of my cursor due to these stars and fancy things during kiai times.

yeah, the fountain kinda bugged me when playing a map with complex patterns, then suddenly kiai often breaks all :( SUPPORT+

maps like this is really annoying with kiai since it has a light BG SUPPORT+

I remember I made a similar request to 2 some time ago. You can search it yourself if you're curious. :P

I agree with everything except the last request; same as everyone else, I have no issue doing small circles (been trying out my tablet now :) ).

@MM: I disagree that kiai favors those who spin big. I'm sick of hearing people say "people who spin smaller circles have an advantage ): ):" regardless of whether kiai time is enabled or not. It's the same argument as mouse vs. tablet. If you think one has an advantage, then learn to do the other and practice. Gosh. /rant

Kiai <3

EDIT: Looks like the old request is here. Dammit, MM, you even posted in it. xp

Personally I am still in favor of giving mappers more control over Kiai time, so that the mappers who "hate kiai time" might actually use it as intended, to identify choruses/epic parts, without having to add whichever effect it is that they hate

Neutral on this, but I guess it could be useful for other players, so +1 support

Really, I'd like to have more control over Kiai time :P

Sounds like a good idea, support from me.

Support, but a more free selection would be useful. Like 1/3 for 3/4 time signatures and such.

I already dislike the no-video mod and removing storyboard files, as they give players who do it an unfair advantage over those who don't. Sure, everyone can, but that boils down to having to choose between eye-candy and easier gameplay, which kinda sucks.
I understand that those are justified as they help people with weaker PCs improve the game's performance; but that doesn't apply to this request. I'd support it, however, if it were an option for mappers instead of players.

Dunno... I spin very small circles and the stars have never been a issue to me. But I know the problem from stupid spinner skins...

I would just like to point out that this is especially true for players that suffer from colour blindness or colour vision deficiency. This is also true for maps that use circle colours that match the background, but combined with kiai time you simply have to resort to guesswork. I understand that the game is impossible to adapt to players who suffer from either of these, but the function mentioned above would help greatly.

Yeah I'm with you on that one.
