Judge's special: Maps I think are good
Alright right about now most you fellow mapping minions have chosen a song to map and maybe some of you already have an idea of what your canvas will look like. Well for those who lack inspiration or want to commit to some bootlicking (prob at expense of other inferior judges), allow me to demonstrate what my tastes fancy.

Tsunku - Shoot-'Em-Up [Invasion]
A fun and creative little circle-only reading map. It is set up such that you have to listen to the rhythm and then tap the circles. The catch? Low AR, irregular rhythm, and a sprinkle note clusters.
Falcom Sound Team jdk - Over Drive [Origin]
Coming from mania his its pros and cons. Pro: Being able to stream reliably. Con: You overstream reliably. This is one of the few stream maps I have that balances those. It imparting just enough stamina that tires me out enough to slow down my tapping to stream at 160 BPM. Oh and I grew pretty fond of these jumps over time too.
Tsukasa - Music of the Spheres [Frostmourne's Lunatic]
Another reading reading map, but this time it's AR 9 reading map! What is so satisfying about this map is the rhythmic placement of notes and how those are coupled with jumps leading to overlaping sections and notes.
DJ THT - Head Over Heals (Nightcore Mix) [Rave]
The absolute banger of a song aside, this map is pretty solid on the enjoyability index as well. Its main motif are note triplets put in rhythmic fashion. But the secret sauce are these triplets acting as a slowed down sliders in midst of a jump. The jumps themselves are mostly obtuse angles, which are my favorite. Also special shoutout to these jumps who's perfect symmetric blend between small and large angles makes it so satisfying.
kozato - Izayoi Sakura
Consistent pattern theme - check. Overlapping jumps - check. Occasional streams to spruce things up - check. Good music - check. This map is one of my favorites to play.
