Step Too Fars. (dig it? [*sigh* orz])

Basically, it's a constant stream pattern, but you go back one note, and head another direction.

SPOILER


Maps with this technique:
Yokkyuu Fuman
m-flo loves CHEMISTRY - Astrosexy
My Chemical Romance - The Sharpest Lives
Kawada Mami - See visionS (TV Size)

there are probably more

For those wondering, I've let NoHItter continue with these threads. If he sucks at it, I'm gonna tell him to stop lololololol.

But it looks like his first one is pretty decent so yeah.

Nominating.
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)

I'm nominating Drain Sections, when a difficult beatmap suddenly gets slower or less difficult in an attempt to either match the song better or cause the HP bar to drain.

kiou sliders

(this is one of kioukiou's most used patterns)

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.

Larto uses them too. In fact, I'm guilty of using them too in my remaps. (Offline "Border of Death" and "Banned Forever".)

So let's not name those sliders after users please.

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?
Yeah sound horrible I know.

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

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.

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?

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.

I'm not sure if this technique has been nominated before, but at least I should try nominating it:

Jump Pauses (I can't find any better name orz)

Description : Basically notes which separated much (~1/1 or more) on the timeline, and placed after a jump. They are placed so closely (or even stacked) so they gave a "pausing" effect. Could also be continued again with another jump.

Examples :

Ikareru Kin no Shishi - G59 ~ Hyper
DJ YOSHITAKA - ALBIDA ~ Manten
Rex - Heart of Witch ~ InoStyle

From what I see this is much used accompanying a dominant bass sound (:

They look like Back and Forth Beats arranged in a circular motion.

Also guys, sorry for not updating this for a long time. I'll get on it soon.

After seeing the "Drain Section" I'm nominating the Recovery Section (aka new combo spam :P)

Basically it's the usage of many new combos in a certain section of the map, preferably right before the chorus or the repeat of the chorus. It works best with higher HP drain rates and is supposed to "heal" the player right before the more challenging part is starting. Also there can be more of them e.g. to recover after a hard section.

There are many maps with new combo "spam" but I don't know if the mappers had the recovery-technique in mind, so I will post 2 of my own maps where I intentionally used this:

Map #1: HTT - NO, Thank You! (TV Size)


Map #2: Rina Satou - Keikenchi Joushouchuu (TV Size)


In both examples I used the new combo section right before the chorus repeats. I think "NO, Thank YOU!" is the better example since the HP drain can be pretty harsh if you don't have a good accuracy (~95% or higher).

Oh I know how that feels. >_>

Anyways, how do we get the Krisom criss cross sliders to be rated? I like those sliders.

I have one I want to nominate, I see this popping up more and more

Stream Jumps

A change in spacing in the middle of a 1/4 stream to create a very quick jump, usually accompanied by a new combo

Some mappers use sliders before a stream jump to make the jump easier.

Examples:
Oriental ST8 - Shoreline
http://osu.ppy.sh/b/34715

A stream jump on a slow song
100-200-400 - Fascination MAXX
http://osu.ppy.sh/b/56549

A large stream jump on a 200 BPM song
DragonForce - Cry for Eternity
http://osu.ppy.sh/b/92051

Some stream jumps in the 170bpm section, these using sliders before the stream jumps to make them easier.

Crushing Sliders

Using highspeed (mostly 1/8-)sliders for some kind of flowcrash, mostly with the same volume as usual or a higher one (using a [custom-]clap-hitsound increases the crushing effect) - those don't destroy the whole flow but bring some kind of reset to the map, if you get what I mean.

Examples:

[box=IOSYS - Marisa wa Taihen na Kanbu de Tomatte Ikimashita (DJPop) [Love:4104f]]
Well, not the best example, but everyone knows it and you know what it sounds like - a big crash
[box=t+pazolite - Chipscape (Shiirn) [Ragnarok:4104f]]
Good example for using those
[box=Noisia - Groundhog (Beat Juggle) (Takuma) [!ignore this:4104f]]
Also a quite good example
[box=Renard - Banned Forever (Blue Dragon) [Nogard:4104f]]
Just wawawawawawawa-sliders~Hope you got what I tryed to explain, kinda tired :cry:

@Crushing sliders: I'd say that those are a bit unrankable (especially Marisa-style ones where you can't even read that they're sliders unless you know the map), but they are quite memorable and iconic!

especially when you miss it and the game won't let you hit it midway through.

Climax

The Diff. starts easy and then it gets harder and/or harder so it could feel like an epic match or boss fight.(see Two Steps From Hell)
Most time used in the beginning of a Song.
Difference between this and Drain time is that it doesn't effect the Drain bar so/that much.

Double stacking Circles:
A series of circles that are arranged in a 1/2 pattern so each notes has ONE circle stacked under it.
Bad description? Of course. Here is a little picture on an un-ranked map that has it
SPOILER

See how (2) is under (1) and everything is 1/2.
Don't know any ranked maps that have this on the spot, but I know I've seen it somewhere. I'll post some as soon as I see them.
Hopefully you know what I mean.

If I may revive this thread, then I'd like to nominate something pretty neat:

Treadmill Sliders



So called because of their use with the treadmill choreography of OK Go - Here it Goes Again, these consist of elbow sliders which dip at the end. They're generally combined with circles on offbeats and their effect is generally a satisfying left-right motion, which creates a gradual movement up or down.

Other maps include:

Mika -Grace Kelly



Leslie Hall - Tight Pants / Body Rolls



Doppelman - Error!!

Good point! I haven't contributed anything to the wiki yet, so if I ever feel like it, then I'll add some things like that. Having said that, I'm curious to know waht other people think of those kinds of patterns, because I'd love to see them used more often.
