I think the current angle is quite reasonable... The player ihas a really fast downward movement built up from the repeat slider so the jump downward should be natural.
Also it sets up a nice angle for the final 3 jumps. Ehh... I can get some testplays if you think its a problem.
eh. the repeat slider kinda 'trains' the player with the really fast up down motion so it makes more sense for the first jump to also be up down. sure the movement to the first pair of 1-2 follows this motion, but then the turn after kinda wastes the momentum if that makes any sense.
Okay got the new jump testplayed by Dunois. He agrees the upward movement feels better so i'll fix it to how you suggested. I guess I can kinda see that since yea those three sliders kinda give people the idea that the next movement should be upward so even tho the jump downward looks like it flows well upward is what the player will be thinking is the next movement. Okay pro analysis

one last thing, I'd appreciate a higher OD (even 9.7, if not 10). not really sure why yours is so low, read the thread and didnt really see a good explanation.

EDIT - and i gotta check your changes lol
EDIT2 - also, could you reply to yuii in full? makes it easier for transparency and stuff
EDIT3 - lol he edited his other reply to yuii instead of making a new one

OD 9.4 is adequate in terms of dealing with notelock. This map is very largely 1/2 rhythm based so really the only sections that use 1/4 rhythms at this high of a bpm are 02:36:797 - 02:43:239 - . OD 9.4 is enough to counteract the potential notelocking here. A really good thread about notelocking can be found here: t/334458

Basically at 280 bpm the recommended minimum OD is 9.3 to avoid notelocking. I went with 9.4 for safe measure but this basically guarantees there will not be any instance of notelocking considering some parts of the map are indeed over 280 bpm (but only for really short sections). 01:44:564 - Is the highest bpm in the map (300) but it's mapped as sliders so theres really no chance of notelocking realistically.

Also, replied to Yuii's mod in full.

Rebubbling for safety

I've read through this thread and all of the concerns have been properly addressed, so let's give it a go. If anyone has a concern regarding my ability to judge the map, I'd respond with the fact that this map in itself isn't actually that complex. The difficulty itself comes from the high bpm + jumps more than anything. The play-ability concerns I had were addressed in my mod.

Regarding the aesthetics, I love the concept of this map, using the idea of 'ugly' aesthetics to create contrast. I think it's done well.

So, yeah lol

Do not nominate a beatmap if you cannot reasonably judge it. Being able to reasonably play a beatmap is a core part of being able to judge a beatmap’s quality. If you are multiple tiers below the playing level of the map we may call your ability to judge it into question.

This isnt how this rule works. You're hopelessly below this maps difficulty and a brand new beatmap nominator. If you think you're exempt from this rule simply because the difficulty is "only jumps and high bpm" you're incorrect.

Reconsider your actions.

he's a modder with lots of experience, more kudosu than you, an experienced mapper, and aside from all of that the map has already 50 odd pages of discussion. if you want to objectively quantify and analyze his modding ability, be my guest. after all, you nominated a similar high star map, right? you should know what it takes.

An action that I regretted and did not repeat. (also I could pass that map)

I do think I'm reasonably capable of judging this map. The concepts used in this map, like I said earlier, are not very difficult to understand. They aren't something I don't usually map or mod. Can I pass this map? No. Can I understand it? Yes.

It's worth pointing out that I'm actually quite capable of playing a lot of this map. The parts I fail on would be the extended jump sections, which make up about 5% of the map maybe? The reason I fail these patterns isn't because I don't know how they play, but because I lack the speed necessary to land them. So discrediting my ability to judge this map because of these sections is a bit of a stretch. For those sections, I can analyze the patterns in the editor and be confident in saying they're fine. Not to mention, I did watch quite a few replays of this map when it was Loved.

I understand your concern, but hopefully you can understand my position as well.

nice map, i like the concept used where the map is ugly to go with the ugly song, gl with rank

Community voice doesn't matter here.
If map is not breaking ranking criteria and BN/QAT decide it is rankable in term of aesthetics - it can be ranked.

This isn't actually true, lol. Community voice matters a lot. Monstrata did respond to everyone that had a specific concern, which is why I was confident in pushing this forward.

EDIT - Just want to point out that I don't want to involve myself in drama (I didn't bubble this map to start a fight, I did it because I think it deserves to be ranked) so I'm not going to respond to any posts that aren't relevant to the map itself from now.

Well this is gonna be interesting...

I have a possible alternative in mind for it, i'll push a quick update tomorrow though after confirming with some players. I like how it plays currently because its arranged in a way where its possible for players to try alternating it instead of single tapping, but essentially the structure is set up to cause really fast counterclockwise flowing movements that break down into rotating/tornado based jumps afterwards.

monstrata ranked 42,9% of Hobbe2's maps. Gotta return some favors now that you're a BN, huh?

Well fuck, this coming from a guy who speed ranks trash jump maps for the sole reason of being the highest SR TV size map out there (and you probably can't even clear your map as well), is painful to read.

Responding to people concerns doesn't negate community negative feedback towards map.
As I said - if something is right with ranking criteria and doesn't break guidelines, it is perfectly rankable.
Community feedback have nothing to do in this case. Only thing what people can do is play it as qualified and vote 1 star at the end.

Don't mix "community feedback" as reaction of majority towards certain event with "feedback about map" in term of modding.

Clearly the only solution is to revoke every single BN's rights and start from scratch by giving BN permissions to all the salty 5 and 6 digit players who madpost about maps that give high PP while not being able to make a decent map themselves.

You know, because self important contrarian nerds are so much better at judging beatmap than players who have been active in the mapping community for a while.

Also really gotta love the in-fighting in the BN group, that's really appropriate to have in a public forum instead of a private discussion.

(in all seriousness though, the incivility really needs to go)

Guys can we stop the discussion, it's not going to bring us anywhere at the moment. Best is to mod it during qualified to get it DQd and have the process reset each time.

Just let Monstrata inflate his ego a little more and move on, no one will look at this map after a month or so. It doesn't leave up for enough fun or unique experience during gameplay so no actual player in the right mind will play this again.

note this is a meme dont take this too seriously

You're 96k, you have 4 pending tv size maps from 11 days ago, your opinion is shit, you have no experience in mapping

+we don't flame the map because of pp (I don't even know how much pp is this shit), it's just an unplayable shitmap with ugly patterns because "lol metal is disgusting anime is better so I'll shitmap this and push it to ranked because a lot of BNs suck my dick"
