Spinner Dissection in Catch The Beat
CTB Spinners may seem arbitrary and random to newer Players, but they all follow a quite simple structure,
some of you may have played a few "endless spinner" maps like "almagest". which give a good example of how Spins work.
There is a infinite length to a "totally original" spinner. If you take a spinner and drag it out in the editor it will always have a unique placement for the fruits
BUT, The spinner strucutre is ALWAYS the same depending on its time appearance in the map, that means if there is no fruit present in the beginning and the spinner is the first object of the map, it will always start with the same Pattern.
If not, then there'll be a Timer running in the background....so you could understand it as in having an Endless Spinner running in the background of the map, while there is no spinner placed. and whenever a spinner is placed, it'll start at that exact point that would be there if an endless spinner would've run throughout the map.
(Sidenote : If there is an Break in the Map, the Timer/Endless Spin in the background is also being Stopped)
and depending on some factors like difficulty settings it slightly changes. As in getting more compressed or distributed.
To give an Example here are a few often seen Spinners that can be identified through them being The first few seconds of a song.
a Full Beat (1st Hitobject of the Map) with a 1/4 Beat Snap Divisor will always Have THIS Pattern
If the Spin is dragged on until 2 1/2 Beats it'll be a 14K Spin that is just stretched out
If the Spin is dragged out to full 4 Beats it will just continue to follow the pattern and be a dragged out 14-27K spinner with additional fruits..
14K Spin
The maximum possible Spin on this pattern is 14.3K so 13 Bananas
The maximum possible Spin on this pattern is 14.3K so 13 Bananas
If the Spin is dragged on until 2 1/2 Beats it'll be a 14K Spin that is just stretched out
27K Spin
The Maximum possible Spin on this pattern is either 27K or 28K depending on its diffculty setting (just a guess, haven't it seen being executed)

54K Spin (52K executed)
If the Gif won't appear(probably because of its size)then just qoute my post and copy out the link to watch it...
And to close this little detour of how Spinners work....The actual purpose of this thread should be to disect the different Sections of the "ENDLESS SPINNER" with help of the community and their eagle-eyes *keepo* Keep on getting those Bananas Boooys
