Round 31: Back and Forth Beat Sets



Nominated by Beuchi-chan. A set of Back and Forth Beats, all having one note in the same place, stacked on top of each other. The player must click one of the stacked beats, then go out to click another beat, then back to clicking a stacked beat, and so on and so forth.

3'd because they remind me a little too much of that box mapping that I hate so much

And at higher speeds + spacing they're really hard to play

But they look pretty cool I guess

AMAZING example: Wiklund - Billy Boogie [16 bits?!]

That's the only reason I'm giving this a 5.

A decent example is Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow - Castle Corridor [KIRBY Mix].

Hard to read on faster BPMs and the center is suffering from stack leniency, which is making it even more confusing and kinda ugly in game mode (despite it's appearance in editor)

They don't have to necessarily be 90 degree angles. The example I posted was just that, an example. Read the description more. It doesn't say anything about 90 degree angles >.>

No I know, it's just that a vast majority of the time, they're used in that cross-shaped formation like the example in the OP

This gets a 3 for being a cool concept, but seriously, some of the worst technically-correct mapping I've ever seen was when people threw these in where they didn't belong.

I very much enjoy them as long as they're not extensive. I personally wouldn't go for more than a few beats doing this, though.

FFFanatic style in-out beats are cool, but so often these don't fit and are confusing. I'll have to 3.

I went with 4

Cross Time used this at the start very effectively. However, there is potential to use these just to confuse or tire the player. But for the most part, these are almost always fun.

I don't recall having played a map with these, but according to the description and screenshot... I believe I dislike them. Having to go back to the center and change directions feels like it's breaking the momentum of the map in my opinion; they could suck if they're way too fast and suck even more if they're way too slow.

...Even so, I liked their execution in Billy Boogie.

If the spacing is too far, this technique won't be fun. 4

Love em! As one could reference from my billy boogie map :) sometimes I think they're done poorly, but for the most part they're done nicely even if they take a retry or two to get

When used correctly, they are awesome~

4*

most of the time i ragequit, but nevertheless i like them :?
the ones with large spacing are quite easy,
but those with small spacing are always giving me random misses, especially those on Love Shine

Stacking can mess these up badly... and that makes it harder to play. It's still a good concept though.

3. My first experience with these was in sandpig's 'Nuclear Fusion' map. Confused the stuffing out of me, but they're fine at reasonable speeds. Otherwise, it's shit being hidden under more shit and close spacings make this sort of thing even worse. I ought to use this myself at some point, only, as it's me, I'd be determined to use them correctly.
