2017-04-01 11:26 Loebad434: so... when there's someone asking abt modding a marathon map... whats ur reaction?
2017-04-01 11:26 Protastic101: link
2017-04-01 11:28 Loebad434: lol
2017-04-01 11:28 Loebad434: ACTION is listening to [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1255509 Ryu - Sakura Mirage (Extend MIX)]
2017-04-01 11:28 Protastic101: hooo, 6.8*, great
2017-04-01 11:29 Loebad434: yeh dood
2017-04-01 11:30 Loebad434: but still need loads of mods
2017-04-01 11:30 Protastic101: imo, some of the chord streams are a bit overdone
2017-04-01 11:31 Protastic101: 01:39:600 - I mean, parts like this is where there's a large disparity between chart density vs song intensify
2017-04-01 11:31 Protastic101: intensity*
2017-04-01 11:31 Protastic101: 01:40:875 (100875|2,100950|1,101025|0,101100|1,101175|2,101250|3,101325|2,101400|1,101475|0,101550|1,101625|2,101700|3,101775|2,101850|1,101925|0) - also, this kind of stuff is aaaaaaaa
2017-04-01 11:31 Protastic101: the reason why stairs like that suck is due to how many direction changes there are in the stream so the player never has an opportunity to pick up momentum while playing, so you're breaking the flow pretty much every beat
2017-04-01 11:32 Loebad434: ah i see...
2017-04-01 11:32 Protastic101: Another reason is that it's really unbalanced since the left hand is getting all the strain and the right hand is just tapping 1/2 notes lightly
2017-04-01 11:33 Loebad434: but the later note was the revert side of it
2017-04-01 11:33 Loebad434: rest after
2017-04-01 11:33 Protastic101: 01:56:400 - stuff like in this measure is pretty good though since the direction changes only one every few beats or so
2017-04-01 11:33 Loebad434: oh wait
2017-04-01 11:33 Loebad434: ur rite
2017-04-01 11:33 Protastic101: The problem with reversing the pattern is that the weight is even overall, but the strain is all over the place which quickly drains stamina much faster than if you just had a slightly higher strain across both hands that was even
2017-04-01 11:34 Loebad434: 00:26:400 (26400|4) - so this actually better one?
2017-04-01 11:35 Protastic101: yeah, streams like that are 10/10
2017-04-01 11:35 Loebad434: i'm tryin not to hit 1/2 notes for the stream tbh
2017-04-01 11:35 Loebad434: is this ok?
2017-04-01 11:36 Protastic101: 02:32:100 (152100|2,152175|3,152250|4,152325|5) - I might also suggest you try and keep brackets spaced with two columns in between since it's easier to execute imo, so like this
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/77123382017-04-01 11:36 Loebad434: 00:30:150 (30150|6,30300|6,30450|6,30600|6,30750|6,30900|6,31050|6,31200|6) - except this
2017-04-01 11:37 Loebad434: i agreed on that tbh... but sometimes im kinda thinkin of some variety of the pattern
2017-04-01 11:37 Loebad434: so..
2017-04-01 11:37 Protastic101: oh yeah, for stacks like that, I would definitely try to keep the weight off whichever hand is playing the stack, like this
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/77123512017-04-01 11:38 Loebad434: so one hand stack
2017-04-01 11:38 Loebad434: noice noice
2017-04-01 11:39 Protastic101: basically, whenever you're purposely trying to force extra strain on the player's hands, try to keep a lot of the other weight off of it
2017-04-01 11:39 Loebad434: ok...
2017-04-01 11:40 Loebad434: 02:21:000 (141000|3,141075|4,141075|2,141150|3,141225|4,141225|2,141300|3,141375|4,141375|2,141450|3,141525|4,141525|2,141600|3) - how these?
2017-04-01 11:41 Protastic101: ACTION screams
2017-04-01 11:41 Protastic101: pls
2017-04-01 11:41 Protastic101: why
2017-04-01 11:42 Protastic101: this is like the equivalent of a diamond pattern in 4k, it's cancer, kill it reeeeeeeee
2017-04-01 11:42 Protastic101: You have
2017-04-01 11:42 Protastic101: so many other columns to work with
2017-04-01 11:42 Protastic101: and you decided to limit yourself to 3
2017-04-01 11:42 Protastic101: ACTION sad af
2017-04-01 11:42 Loebad434: lol
2017-04-01 11:43 Protastic101:
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7712402 I'd suggest something like this instead where the flow is a bit more linear and easier to hit
2017-04-01 11:44 Protastic101: 02:22:275 (142275|3,142275|2,142350|4,142425|2,142425|3,142500|4,142575|3,142575|2,142650|4,142725|2,142725|3,142800|4) - this too, could you not D:
2017-04-01 11:44 Loebad434: left stack?
2017-04-01 11:44 Protastic101: idk
2017-04-01 11:44 Protastic101: I mean, tbh, I think the pattern would play better without the triples at all, but w/e
2017-04-01 11:45 Protastic101: 02:43:800 (163800|5,163800|6,163875|4,163875|3,163950|5,163950|6,164025|4,164025|3,164100|5,164100|6,164175|3,164175|4,164250|5,164250|6,164325|3,164325|4) - as a no space bar player, you are trying to kill me
2017-04-01 11:46 Protastic101: Idk, I'd consider checking out Len's Gourmet Chocolate map, it has a lot of patterning that you could take inspiration from
2017-04-01 11:46 Protastic101: but overall, I'd try to make the streams more linear and focus on matching map density with song intensity
