Round 16: Flower Combos


Nominated by 0_o. Also known as "Honeycomb Beats" (example2). Consists of 5+ hitcircles all placed around a central point. The central point can be a hitcircle, but it doesn't have to be. Some hitcircles can be replaced by sliders. Usually placed 1/2 a beat apart.

Map(s)
nomico - Bad Apple!! [Normal]
Marguerite du Pre - Marie Antoinette [Hyper]

Simply pretty. I like them, especially when the song has something to do with flowers (or bees).

Also yay I fixed the order of the last 8 topics! :|

Hidden + This = AUTOMATIC MISS

No seriously, I would probably have an 80% miss rate on the "3" in the first example, and the "5" or "6" on the second if I'm playing with hidden.

That's because it's Hidden, and you can't keep a simple 1/2 beat. So, don't play with Hidden on maps with this pattern, or practice more.

Anyways, 5. It's a classic, simple pattern. Sort of like left down right and right down left in DDR; a pattern that works when used correctly, and is a classic, and that you should learn how to do or suffer the consequences (though in this case, it's much easier to learn than cross-overs).

Beautiful when done right.

I always pull out my calculator to find the right grids to stick each circle on. :P

  1. Place note.
  2. Copy five times.
  3. Rotate five times.
  4. ???
  5. Profit!

How far away from the origin should the note be placed to achieve proper distance spacing?

|x| = spacing * cos(π/sidecount) / sin(2π/sidecount)

(can probably reduce this further but I don't care)

No, it's because with Hidden I'm looking ahead by ~1-2 seconds, so I'm never looking at what I'm actually clicking. This causes me to miss one of the circles because my cursor is positioned wrong. It has absolutely nothing to do with not being able to keep a beat, otherwise I obviously wouldn't be using Hidden.

I do this normally (not in Hidden). xD

Actually I feel like I look at the entire screen at once. If I try to look just at the middle of the screen I play well, too.

I can do these perfectly with hidden, what's your problem?

Also, DRIVING LAZY BEE
Go play Ultimate Truth a lot (with hidden obviously). I miss within the first 30 combo about 30-40% of the time. It also took me like 5 retries to not miss the ONLY flower combo in the entire map on http://osu.ppy.sh/b/29595

They look nice and play well with me.
when they are placed on a high BPM and non-stop, then that's where I have a problem. I think that was in Ultimate Truth (I don't remember maps very well).
But hey, they still look really nice. Especially with bigger hitcircles xO
*stares at 4 & 5*
eeeh, I'll give it a 5

Diverge your focus. Look at the whole screen at once.

I rely on persistence of vision when playing with hidden. It's my favourite mod.

I actually find them quite nice. When people use them, they usually fit. Not too many ways you can fuck this up unless you're absolutely incompetent. 5.

Really nice flow, I almost forgotten that they actually exist!
But unfortunately, once the new Star formation was invented after, not many mappers use this technique anymore :( Even I wouldn't really use this flow anymore...

2/5
