ofc i'll reply them all, which are barely mods to me thou.

Why are those sliders 02:19:881 (2) - 02:25:300 (3) - 02:26:074 (2) - 02:26:848 (4) - 03:53:558 (4) - 04:05:945 (4) - 04:11:365 (2) - 04:16:784 (3,2,4) - 05:07:881 (3) - 05:25:687 (2) - 05:31:106 (3,2,4) - on the blue tick instead of making them start on those places 02:19:881 (2) - and putting a circle after, would make so much more sense and be much more playable. (My personal opinion, this just doesn't fit in my opinion) because guitar track is the one i wanna follow, which has more tension than vocal.

00:56:655 (3) - CTRL- G would do wonders. no.

01:23:074 (4,5) - This feels empty compared to your other sections like this. You usually do more than this especially when vocals go like this, I would fill it with more clickable notes. i usually do different rhythm for different part, here as well.



03:47:461 (4,1) - This is not good transition, the movement required is too sharp, I recommend making some curve to make this easier, it's already fast enough so don't make it this hard to actually hit this. 03:50:461 (4,5,1) - THis is a very nice transition, suggesting something like that. no, sharp movements here is better.

03:55:590 (1,2,3) - Feels like this part is just totally switching polarity and the 1st slider should be changed into smaller notes, this doesn't play well. anti-flow matches the guitar here, and this plays very well.

Too many bets ignored in this slider and then going for fast transition into note-reverse slider + 4 notes doesn't work, this focuses on too much stuff instead of following the previous ideas of how those sections were played. Also going into 03:56:558 (1,2,3,4) - this spacing is not the way it should be, this section and pattern doesn't work well, either stick with the 03:56:558 (1,2,3,4) - idea of doing the pattern this way rhytmically or slower like the slider. the pattern's spacing is similar to the value all kiai showed, and the pattern itself worked well in following vocal.

I could argue that 03:59:848 (4,1) - this section is not good transitioned either but I guess by not following the slider perfectly it's okay, up to you though, I would change this a bit. similar to replay as the one above.

04:47:074 (2,1,2) - Where did those cool doubles go? This was really cool and I don't know why this is removed and changed to a slider but it was very cool with the doubles, I'd like to see that back. you seems like COMPLETELY not be clearly aware of the map's pattern system: 00:31:301 (2,3,4,1,2) - and 01:41:268 (2,1,2) - , which you think this should follow consistantly? idk what you've focused on but you may check the map more carefully before the post.

So hard to play those slider.
Nice job!

And why ar9.5 q_q too fast :( for some of the sliders' tracks are a bit overlapped, it's better to give higher ar to make the playing board more clearly.

Every slider must have a clear and visible path to follow from start to end. Sliders which overlap themselves in a way that makes any section unreadable or ambiguous (including "burai sliders") cannot be used. This is so that no slider has an appearance that is confusing or impossible for the player to read. Additionally, the slider borders must never be covered up from the slider being packed in too tightly. However, sliders that cross over themselves are fine as long as the borders are clearly visible.
Those sliders 04:58:881 (1) and 05:01:977 (1) and 05:08:171 (1) and 05:11:268 (1) and 05:14:364 (1) and 05:20:558 (1) seems questionnable about this rule. As i don't have mutch experience as mapper/modder i don't know if it's fine. you may find out what's questionable if you can. (do i need to reply this? i really don't know... )

I really like this map a lot but I feel like some of the sliders are obviously questionable and almost want to say unreadable which I understand it nice to be creative but I feel like you could do that without making this 05:01:977 (1) - or this 05:11:268 (1) -

It is mainly near the end where I see these sliders being too much

I'm not talking about how fast it is since there absolutely nothing wrong with that but the way the slider is shape can easily confused players and you could fix that problem without ruin the creativeness in this map.

You could do something like this part 05:36:042 (1) - for those mention sliders and some similar since this is much easier to read and still creative for the map.

If i'm not mistaken wasn't there a rule about unreadable sliders somewhere? I pretty sure there is but i'm too lazy to search.

Overall I really want to see this rank and always love your maps :) well, i just tell you that no slider in this map is unreadable.

EDIT: Shit grammar is shit.

05:11:268 (1) - this is the hardest slider to read in the map, potentially unrankable due to not being able to see a clear sliderpath due to the loop starting at the slider. This one in particular focues most of the sliderpath in the top-left area and since it is so cluttered, the player wouldn't know where to go regardless of snaking slider or not. This slider in particular I feel needs a redesign instead.
the path is clear to read, there's no any other choice of direction after hitting that slider's head.

04:29:590 (2) - are you sure these are snapped properly? I'm hearing the slider end earlier than what you have here i'm sure they are 1/3 ticks.
05:43:912 (2) - ^

Few things that aren't necessary unrankable, but would like an explanation for.

Sections between the high SV sliders such as 01:54:623 - 01:56:171 -or 02:07:010 - 02:08:558 - seem a bit random. A lot of it has to do with the 1/4 sliders which seem to try to fit to the instrumentals in the background. Why didn't you map to the vocals similar to the last kiai instead. A lot of the main focus is on the vocalist so it seems strange to bother mapping the instruments in the background. it's more strange to just focus on only vocal track, and it's common to shift objects' rhythm from one to another, depending one which track the mapper wanna express or imphasize.
so, why i need to map the vocals similar to the last kiai instead?


04:33:719 - 04:46:493 - Low spacing and high sv's are not a good match for anyone. Why was it designed like this instead of using a much higher spacing to accommodate the high SV's in this kiai sections. low spacing and high sv's are perfect good match for me, so they are not "not good match for anyone" now. i can find much more people similar to me, so that's not a good reason here 1stly.
from mapping view, high sv with low spacing is a really common idea of mapping nowadays, it plays really good when the spacing is not that trick, not that similar to this map ofc thou.

witth that being said:

05:01:977 (1) - for a first time playing this. no clue. impossible to follow. the twist and turns and circular pathing makes it very confusing. nothing is confusing here, you can read the slider straightly, sightly and instantly.

05:11:268 (1) - this one is pushing it heavily. even looking at a still image of it is difficult to deduct the immediate pathing, let alone playing it. not a question of reading sliders faster or keeping up with SV, this one in particular is far far far too confusing. I dont understand how this got past. i don't understand how this can not get past as well.

I dont mind 99% of HW maps, I like every single style of mapping but I highly question the person who let this map through. If its not breaking the rules I posted above, then it's really really pushing it (in a negative direction)

Zetera wrote:

Additionally to Makan1's post:

See, I stated those things because I perceived them as unfitting. I don't know whether things are okay because you see them as okay, but I am 100% certain that when multiple individuals state that something's wrong, you may want to question your arguments. Imagine you are a chef, liking their own food. If their customers say it tastes funny, the food is not good, even though the chef sees or tastes it as nice. Weird comparison, I know. i don't know why you are 100% certain that when multiple individuals state that something's wrong, but can't point it out.

Also, you misunderstood one of my statements. Yes, adding sliderticks makes the sliders even harder. What I said is that having this slidertick rate is not enough to make this map playable enough. Therefore, the slider shapes should be slightly more intuitive to avoid any kind of sliderbreak. ok, but i won't agree that slider shapes should avoid sliderbreak, and they are totally playable in it's current state.

To sum this up: I don't think calling a person a weak player is enough of a counter argument. Mapping is about making maps accessible for most players while stressing a song as well as possible, at least for me. Since this has been ignored for months now, I can accept the fact that you don't want to change anything about those sliders. I still highly recommend doing so though. There are better ways of preserving the same ideas that you bring up in this map in a more intuitive way than now.
i called no one weak player, players will become true weak players from the moment they think they really are by themselves.
i will never agree that proper maps should be accessible for most players. maps should express the music ofc, and meanwhile, extra level maps are made for pro players.
i will change things when you find exact issues, i'm looking forward it if you really can do that.
that's it, maybe there's a next wave of mods, waiting for it then.

Oh lol scratch what I said about the doubles for some reason my editor deleted a note in every double u had (???) redld.
Also I am aware of the pattern system and the flow I mentioned in the sharp angles has no clear reason because you use circular flow in same vocal and rhytmical patterns but for some reason "sharp fits here".

No those sliders are definitely confusing, first time checking the map i had no idea how the sliders went. You probably just don't realise how confusing they are anymore because you've seen them so many times, but when it comes to sightreading i had no idea how to move on those sliders.

felt pretty comfortable wit the slider paths, even though they are a bit tricky. anyway, people like hardly complain about some mixed gimmiky stack circle-jump pattern. they will call it "hard, but challenging". however when its a slider people cry like babys lol?

still i gotta say that using long sliders on blue ticks just to catch the synth/guitar (while keeping that vocal feeling by using a slider) is just so weird. the rhythm felt pretty messy because of that. im not gonna complain too hard as youre consistent with that and its nothing that should stop it from being ranked imo. if people dont like this rhythm-translation/-interpretation and think it is shit theyll can just rate the map however they want

Yes the blue tick sliders are so weird, plays so wrong..

老大无敌

虽然这个时候po不是很好

但是这两天看top打地狱楽 相当一部分人都是跳着戳slidertick的 比如axa和基地

这样子看起来就好像不断在戳1/2的单点 说实话kiai的滑条扭的再有魄力playing的时候也体验不到

那么这样sv速度就算再高难度也不过就是1/2的全屏跳而已

((感觉把slider之间点数增加一倍会不会好些 这样就只能顺着滑条打了

q了之后说这个是要被打死的吧(虽然不q也看不到top的rep

赶紧跑了((

i dont even have anything constructive to say. get back to reality. there is no meaning to anything a tall. these sliders are all memory, like flashlight. its all copy paste repetitive slider patterns with tweaks and bumps to mess you up with high slider velocity. its a sustained note and you make such horrible patterns? the only fun parts are the stacks and that feels repetitive and copy paste too. its lazy. this is just bad. probably the worst map hollow wings has ever made. i have no idea why this is even being modded. just say get a mapper who actually cares about playability to map it and we can enjoy the song instead of this stupid difficulty mapping. im so tired of this era of mapping. i wish it was 2013 again.

</rant>

edit: not replying to anyone who replies. expect just flame. im out. nothing will change or get done. mapper is always right and this is just the ramblings of a 'weak player'.

Hmm, I actually like this map tbh, and I have nothing against HW maps. But just one question then I'll be satisfied cause I'm eager to know:
Why does the map have so many readability diff spikes unlike the music which should more rather be mapped with patterns focused more on technical skill?

Shouldn't number of ticks increase to discourage merely following slider ticks? I'm guessing that the playstyle's not what HW intended.
Endaris
Considering that most of the sliderspecific shapes have no immediately intended gameplayvalue but a lot of visual value and as some people said also the "fast sliderballmovement matching the song" there is no inherent reason to think that the amount of sliderticks affects the idea of this map in any way.#
Given how penible HW is I don't think that this would've been missed.

Then again, it's positive that this got ranked and also very positive that this stayed in WIP for ages considering its popularity (for one or the other reason).

This is a masterpiece, we need more mappers like HW.

Dunno what you guys are mad about, it fits the song, the song is fast, the storyboard is made TOO perfect

In fact...

He is exploring an area in osu! that hasn't been explored, I don't understand what people are being so mad about. If there was a "defined" way of mapping, peppy would've just done it himself. He didn't do this because a)More beatmaps are made this way and b)Osu! community can come up with ideas that he doesn't have. This is how you revolutionise a game, by doing something like this. People only hating because they are not used to it. In the future, this might be one of the "common ways" of mapping, and when it's so, we should call it "Hollow SV mapping" ,lol, because he is the one who took the first step of courage to change.

When I joined osu! start of this year, I saw an update which made SV less significant for star and pp calculations. This is exactly the type of map I wanted to create at that time just to mock that update.

I'm sorry, but it's hard to understand what you are saying here.

What I get from your statement is that slider ticks have no effect on what HW is trying to portray through this beatmap (please correct me if I'm wrong).

However, I find that statement hard to believe. I'm sure HW placed those sliders in shapes that portray the idea of the beatmap. For example, the zigzag pattern slider is seen everytime a cat meow is heard. I find this setup very fitting. From this, I infer that HW expect players to find the flow of the beatmap by following the slider shape patterns. As you may already know, the lack of slider ticks on each corner of the slider shape caused some players to try out a different playstyle called "slider tick cheesing." There's a play by Mafham that shows how this can be done. What I've seen from the play is that it blatantly ignores the flow of the map that HW tried to create. Of course, the play by Mafham is not the most serious one and is supposedly intended to mock the system that allows such play. I believe that similar plays that do not follow the flow of the beatmap can be avoided if we add more slider ticks. With more slider ticks, players would have to follow the slider shape, directing them toward the flow of the beatmap. While slider ticks indeed do not have an effect for players following the sliders, it would change the playstyle of players choosing to use "slider tick cheesing" playstyle.

I looked at the map with tick rate of 2 instead of 1 and the ticks follow the slider shape a lot better.
