Random new mapper strolling by, but I since I don't want to say anything because of my experience I love how you spelled stop at the end Past that I want to see this ranked really bad.

I didn't look too in-depth on the points you stated that are in black, only the one in red. The intentionally messy aesthetics fit the song in my opinion, and here is why:Shiirn wrote:

Each individual, particular issue the map has - the intentionally messy aesthetics, the incongruity of the map's focus on vocals, drums, or guitar, the blatant fake difficulty - are individually whatever. Each has reasons that can stand up on their own, even if they stand up like a drunken two year old. But all of the problems combine to just make this clearly a map set out with a specific message. One that is offensive and arrogant.

i think you guys liked this map (its fucking hilarious) maybe i'll throw my 2 cents out here00:27:409 (1,1) - This is clearly not Monstrata-esque flow. The unintuitive-ness of this flow is very disconcerting This plays just fine. As an authority of Monstrata-esque flows, I must disagree.
00:28:496 (3,4,1,2,3,4) - ^ Flows just fine for me.
00:43:473 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - ^ I think your complaint might be the shape of 00:44:016 (5) - so I've changed that to iron out any awkwardness with this entry angle.
00:45:520 (2,3,4,1) - ^ I don't see anything wrong here. The angles are sharper than usual, but this is just inward flow.
00:49:949 (1,2,3,4,1) - ^ Simple zigzag flow. I use this a lot in my regular maps, I think if the arrangement were nicer you would have considered it perfectly fine.
00:56:864 (3,4,5,6) - ^ This one's intentional. All of my flow selection so far has been either back/forth or rotation, all using sharp angles. I wanted to use an obtuse angle here for some variety. If its too much, this is an easy change anyways.
01:43:942 (1,2,3) - ^ Perfectly normal flow. Don't let the slider-shape trick you into thinking 2>3 is poor flow. Remember that players will be very keen on cutting corners and abusing slider-leniency on this map, especially since every slider is mangled. While it bends rightwards into a hook, you will play the slider by moving leftward smoothly.
02:04:611 (3,4,1) - ^ Flow's perfectly fine here too. The arrangement here is actually something you can find in my Hikouki Gumo map.
02:11:659 (2,3,4) - ^ Same as earlier. Don't let the slider-shape misguide you on how the pattern will flow. This is perfectly fine.
02:17:227 (2,1,2,3,4) - ^ I don't even know what to say here. The others I can see your misconceptions, but here its just a jump pattern. It's even a perfect pentagon with consistent 36 degree jumps.
00:34:933 (1,2) - I find this very hard to land because of the fact that you're mapping to absolutely nothing here. Especially with the vocal emphasis right after that you're obviously mapping to, I'd rather you time to the vocals instead of whatever you were trying to map to Buzz sound. It's a good transition from the 1/4 repeats at 00:34:474 (5) - as those aren't mapping to vocals either (as there aren't any). I adjusted the timing here though, thanks!
00:40:066 (1,2,3) - This triplet is CLEARLY an overmap, there was nothing that justified the triplet This is necessary because there needs to be a 1/2 of a beat where the player is forced to pause their movement. Nothing else will work. Making 00:39:852 (6) - a repeat is awkward. Creating a 1/1 gap is also going to cause reading issues due to 1/1 looking like 1/2. Why is a pause necessary? Because the vocal begins on the red tick where you are expecting it to begin immediately on the white tick. Triplets also create a flow reset which help transition from the structured and geometric movements of the earler section to a chaotic jump pattern after. I already touched about this in fieryrage's mod reply. Also I don't think this is a clear overmap because of te guitar's ambiguity. Like i said, I believe the guitarist actually intended to play 1/4's here, but couldn't keep up with 280 bpm triplets himself.
01:02:466 (1) - A pretty big number of slow sliders here are CLEARLY not timed well, or I just have absolutely no idea what you were mapping to: guitar or vocal, because it seems like there is dissonant emphasis in this whole region Going for the bass here, not guitar or vocals. Tey just all happen to align, and all happen to have different offsets. I made some minor changes to two red lines (-5ms) though.
01:24:363 (1,2) - Consistency for rhythm similar to 00:21:206 (1,2) - , there was no vocal at 01:24:363 (1) - , which was kinda indicated to me before that it doesn't warrant a 1/2 slider Hmm... I think both are fine. You can argue consistency if you want, but I think both rhythm choices are acceptable, and the time in between is far too great for anyone to notice them while playing. It's an easy change anyways, so i'll just prepare a fix.
01:35:594 (2,3,4,5) - The focus in vocal right before (and right after btw) suddenly shifts to drum mapping, it makes no sense to me, just retime it or something Sorry if it makes no sense to you .
I'm trying to be objective about it because somehow this is the best kind of flow/rhythm Monstrata can pull out his ass.
If the focus on every map is only about playability we might as well just not bother with nazi mods anymore, because every UGLY thing despite having mildly acceptable flow can be refuted with "oh its just my a e s t h e t i c". While most people will stop bothering with mappers who map to their aesthetic ideals, somehow its not the case with Monstrata SOLELY because he's popular.
Just to piss people off even more: L o .x dd

23:42 Monstrata: like, to a certain extent i want people to play the map and laugh at how ludicrous it is too lolYou're really making a map just for people to laugh at the map, to laugh at how absurd it is? Is that valid justification to sacrificing screen clutter, cleaner sliders, less ridiculous spacing (as pointed out at the 02:55:471 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,1,1) - section, for example)? In fact, is mapping for that sole reason even something that the community would really want ranked?
23:42 Monstrata: and then get to the middle where it shifts from 280 to 120
23:42 Broccoly: haha
23:43 Monstrata: so yea in a sense. i'm not really mapping this primarily for top 50 etc... to pass/fc. its more for ppl to have fun and laugh at/with the map.

My dear friend, I really do apologize for confusing you with my poor choice of words. Laughing with the map is an elegant thing, and it's something I want to emphasize. It makes light of your insecurities and brushes it off. If you are able to laugh at something bad that's happened to you, you've clearly overcome that time of turmoil and have emerged as a stronger person. This map strives to make light of the ugliness in the world, because by looking past the ugly, trivial insecurities in our life, the stuff that we have to put up with, and the ordeals that we have had to go through, through overcoming all that, we are able to see the beauty that life really has to offer! Remember that the darkest hour is just before dawn! I really want to leave you with a song from one of my favorite singers, Christina Aguilera, it's called "Beautiful" and I think it really speaks to the intentions of this map.Sophia wrote:
You should be making a map, not trying to reenact "The Ugly Duckling".
However, if you want to do it that's entirely your choice. Just stick by it. You can't write paragraphs upon paragraphs telling me "this is my aesthetic, I'm going for something deep" and then when you're in a PM box with someone inside the game you say "yeah im mapping this for people to laugh at the map lol". It just makes every single one of your arguments that defend your aesthetic and whatever deep thing you could be making out of this map fall apart and really makes it look like you're mapping it "for the lolz", which is disappointing and a massive "fuck you" to mappers who struggle every day to get their maps ranked and those that take their mapping seriously.
Good luck with your map, hope to see consistency from your answers as to why you're doing this from this page onwards. If you're trying to do something that delivers a subtle yet elegant message then argue for that justification. Not for "I want people to laugh at the map". After all, you're trying to make people like the ugly for the structure behind it. Not like the ugly because it looks so ugly that we laugh at it.
I'm not trying to rank a map "for people to laugh at". Please don't toss away my poignant and sensitive explanation as simple meme'ing, because I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. There is a great difference between laughing at someone, and laughing with someone. I hope one day you'll be able to understand.Sophia wrote:
Why are you meme'ing around when I'm honestly asking you why you, as a beatmap nominator, are so insistently spitting on what the ranking system stands for and trying to rank a map "for people to laugh at it"?

Right now, however, you're sacrificing both visuals and playability in an attempt to express the music, which is something that a beatmap should not aim for. Osu! is a rhythm game and not Visual Art.
