You can't physically change the BPM to get a faster slider speed. Its unrankable and this is the total of 5 (out of 3) BPM speeds.

Stop saying "Its just guidelines, not rules" as an excuse to make it okay to break those guidelines especially for things you need to have either a really damm good reason for doing it, or its just stright up unrankable. Seriously, you need to get more information before you make such asinine claims. And also, don't even think of using your popularity to let you have room to do anything you want. Its not going to work. I've noticed you've let the popularity consume you to the point your "ideas" of beatmapping is really getting corrupt and..... I don't give two shits you have over 100 ranked maps. Since you can't even listen to the damm suggestions, I suggest you force yourself to take some time to open your eyes to reality while you make the PROPER FIXES to the map.

Seriously, I can accept "most of the stuff in standard mod can be also good in CTB diff", but it doesn't mean that we don't need a ctb only map ,because when arrange some of the good partern in ctb diff, it is extremely horrible in standard mode(some unexpected X2 slider, note after or before the spinner, some awesome red jump and max jumps), if you refer to the map inside of my signature, you will see the difference.
Also, diff in standard mode when play in ctb mode can be also awful(like in standard, the continuous triples or long streams with not big spacing may be very fun of play but very boring and stupid in CTB mode, and the so-called"horiZontal jumps" is harm to the ctb mode).
like the famous marisa, kanbu. That will be very fun in standard mode but boring in ctb.
And the most important thing is, joynama, hebi, and me(maybe another pro find it already)find the biggest bug-----"bug jumps(impossible jumps without red fruit" in ctb mode, and it is not easy to fix, So i think we really need to have a specific ctb being approved.

I think a good way of using the rule is if a mapper break the rule, we may first think of why does he/she break the rule? is it make the map even worse or better?

See how taiko diffs have evolved since the first taiko diff was ranked. Take a lesson from the precedent.

If the ticking sounds don't fit the song, why would you even use Tick Rate 2; is it just for the score increase? or is it to create some sort of artificial difficulty by making players follow the sliders more strictly. The latter doesn't seem to be the intention considering how easy the sliders are, nobody should really be expected to mess up those sliders even with a high tick rate. Also, if you really insist on using Tick Rate 2, you can simply get a tick sound that actually fits the song, instead of muting them altogether. If those ticks prevented the map from being enjoyable, just don't use them in the first place, how hard is that to understand?

MetalMario201 wrote:

As a mapper, it's important to distinguish "I don't like the sound of ticks in general" from "The tick sound/frequency is unsuitable to this music." If you just don't like ticks period, feel free to use an osu! skin (as opposed to a map skin) which makes them silent. But it's important to keep a balanced, fair map that fits with osu!'s standards and a player's expectations. Players expect ticks to be present, have a rhythmic quality, not be too (in)frequent, and make a sound. This is their cue that they're completing the slider successfully. (I can and do actually tell if I've 300ed or 100ed a slider based on whether the slide sound cuts out early.)

At the end of the day, this is what ranking guidelines mean: they establish some qualities a player can expect to be true for all maps. osu! isn't an art project--it's a game. So there are times when you need to compromise on your artistic vision to create a better gaming experience.

Just offering my two cents:

imo, CTB diffs shouldn't be unrankable. But a CTB diff that makes people go "lolwtf who other than mikhe or kenji or (insert CTB pro here) can FC this" should be unrankable. Remember, CTB diffs should be for CTB players, not CTB pros.

See how taiko diffs have evolved since the first taiko diff was ranked. Take a lesson from the precedent.


I am not going to star this map.
