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.

Frankmusik - 3 Little Words by JarJarJacob [DJ LaRTo]

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.

Maps with Divebomb Combos
The Village People - Y.M.C.A. [Hard Rock]
Collective Soul - Better Now [Sweatin']
Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil Wayne - Let It Rock
IOSYS - Utage wa Eien ni ~SHD~ [SOLO]

can we assume that the beginning of the slider doesn't have to be part of the straight line? 'cause you mentioned "a STRAIGHT line of combos", but the beginning of the slider (in the provided screenshot) isn't in the straight line... thing...

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]

Hideyuki Ono - Classic Party Triathlon [Insane]

IMO the defining characteristic of a divebomb combo is the slider that sort of "dives" into other stuff:

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:

SYNC.ART'S feat. Sakaue Nachi - Forever Cherryblossom
Horie Yui - Sugar Sweet Nightmare
ZUN - Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke look at me using my own maps

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.

according to the characteristic defined by MetalMario, will this count as Divebomb combos too? seeing how 9 is not directly under 8

Tornados

Screenshot

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

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???

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)

It can go the other way too (as in, the 6 slider above curves to the right instead)

EDIT: Also nominating something.

Endpoint Slider Jumps

Consists of a slider in which the ENDPOINT is distance spaced with the previous note. This means that you have to jump to reach the actual start point. Almost always used in some sort of symmetrical pattern.

End-Cut Sliders? End-Switching Sliders? The essence of this ones is that the direction switches at the end of the first slider, switching to the (aprox) 90º direction (If (1) is vertical (2) will be horizontal, if (1) is horizontal (2) will be vertical, and so on), doing an underlap at the first slider's endpoint (imo). Uhm, I dunno... Maybe End-90º Sliders?

Double Spinners

Self-explanatory from the title. A technique where you use two spinners in a row, usually to make a hitsound for the next spinner without the use of a circle or pre-spinner note. (There are ranked maps which use 3 in a row but are very rare)

The common usage of this technique is either before a break or near the end of a song.

Dragonforce - Fury of the Storm by lesjuh [Expert] - This is one of the rare triple ones.



Pendulum - Watercolour by Larto [Insane]



Alex C. feat. Yasmin K. - Angel of Darkness (Nightcore Mix) [Lily's Hard] - Example where a break or the end of the song isnt after the technique

A special shout-out goes to Ready Steady Go in Ouendan1.

Also these are the ideal places for spinner combo hax.

From memory...didn't Ready Steady Go have 4 spinners in a row?

This map has 4 spinners in a row as well.

Nominating: tieff's double beat jump - Call them whatever you guys want.

The main idea of this is: group of 2 circles separated with a larger spacing than the spacing between the two circles in the group, and generally are placed almost parallel, and each group has a new combo.

Nomination: Stream With a Note Under It
Description: A stream (usually 5-9 notes) that ends, then has a 1/2 to 1 beat pause, and then has another note under the last note and can cause combo-breaking.

Nominating: Chorus-Spacing
· This technique consists on slightly increasing spacing during the Chorus to give it a more epic feeling. In later versions of this technique, it also slightly increases sliderspeed.

Maps that use this technique:
(Most Kioukiou maps...)
Toyosaki Aki - Apron Days By kioukiou
Crush 40 - Sonic Heroes By Krisom
Marina & The Diamonds - Oh No! By Larto

Normal 1/2 Spacing

Chorus 1/2 spacing

You can find them in almost of Mystearica's maps.

Nominations with Not Enough Ranked Examples:
54. Step-Too-Fars
55. Spider Sliders
More examples:

Demetori - Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~Nuclear Fusion
Difficulty: Atomic
very high velocity + high bpm. (current 2.4 SV, 175 bpm x1.5 section)

1.0
SPOILER


1.1
SPOILER

1.2
SPOILER




And another not so "bright" example:
Maximum The Hormone - What's Up People?
Difficulty: Lucifer
Very high slider velocity + high bpm (Current: SV 2.7, BPM 244 (The end of the song))
SPOILER


It's important to make each slider like spider leg. That's why this^ is bad example.

DJ Sharpnel - StrangeProgramm
Difficulty: HappyMix
Standart SV + high bpm (Current: 215 BPM, 3.4 SV (2x section)
SPOILER


I can try to find more :/

Sometimes I find it more appropriate to actually slow the slider speed down during the chorus instead of speed it up. Perhaps change the wording of the description?

Ex: Hatsune Miku - Zureteiku [Garven's Hard]

Err... I'm not sure if anyone has nominated this, but here I go anyway:

Curl sliders


Chayanne - Torero [Insane]


The Good Natured - Be My Animal [Rukarioman's Extreme]


Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober [Insane]


Panic! at the Disco - The Ballad of Mona Lisa [Panic!]


Pretty self-explanatory, these are sliders that "curl up". They can be used when the music goes from higher pitches to lower ones, or vice versa.

(Optional) A name for the technique (it can be an official name or one you make up)
An accurate description of the technique (or alternatively, a screenshot of the technique)
A link to atleast 2 ranked maps that have the technique. (The specific point in the map would help too)

Name: Jumping Slider Stream
Description: It consists of repeated slider streams that suddenly jump with a 1/4 beat, Jump Stream i guess... (1/3 beat is also the same)
Maps: [url=Exciting Hyper Highspeed Star]http://osu.ppy.sh/b/62589[/url] , [url=IOSYS - The Lovely, Freezing, Tomboyish Bath, Cirno's Hot Spring]http://osu.ppy.sh/s/27107[/url]
