View the results of the contest!

Information about the judging:
  1. The BN/QAT judges, Okorin, Sonnyc, Natsu and Chaoslitz all scored in every category except difficulty curve due to the fact that the contest is a 1-map set.
  2. The provisional judges, ztrot and myself (Ephemeral) scored only in creativity to weight the results towards creativity overall.
  3. Maps that violated the no auto-fail clause outlined in the contest rules received creativity and impression scores from the BN/QAT judges, and only creativity scores from the provisional judges..
  4. Maps that were disqualified received 1 point in all categories from all judges.
  5. Judges were instructed to give brief commentaries of their experiences on the map, not complete descriptions or full mods of the map itself. Some of their commentaries may be very brief, depending on the judge.
  6. Honorable mentions were determined based off at least three judges suggesting them - their actual score as an entry is totally irrelevant to this.

my favorites are Monstrata (as always), Wafu, Taeyang, Momoko and Fort.
I guess im the first guy who seen monstrata's sliderart magic. Tho, its still WIP before xD. First impression was like "OMFG HOW DID YOU DO IT" and then he sort of telling me the secret and after it, i wished the god to make him wins lmfao xD. The map is extremely creative indeed. we all know that monstrata always create pretty sliderarts "finisher" and he is the guy who have many ideas. it plays well. altho, some part plays weird. probably this part 01:33:761 - . maybe because its speed cursor movement which makes me think it plays weird.

Wafu's Set has a nice SB. i love storyboards and the map, it plays fun except the triplets on a slider body xd idk how to click those lul.
Taeyang's Set... it has nice flow to me, the symmetrical slider reminds me of a thing from ancient egypt xD i forgot what is it called lmao.
Momoko's Set... Pretty cute set, i love those small circular sliders :D
Fort, always creating the best hitsounding. the concept behind his set was probably copying and merge HW, fanzhen, priti's style xD cuz i see some parts that plays like HW's tsubaki lul.

Kin's mapset was very good imo, if I was a judge, it would be hard for me to decide between Monstrata and Kin. Monstrata brought in something very new though. MillhioreF's entry was absolutely awesome, not really deserving to win, but the idea made me laugh so much, especially during the EX EX part.

Monstrata outclassed everyone else by sheer skill in beat-map technicality.
Great visual displays even without a storyboard.

Asahina's is a fairly consistent rhetoric (in terms of structure) that eases in and out of con-current sliders/hit-objects.
Pretty comfortable to watch.

Regou's priority being the hit-sounding does seem to play to his strengths.
Basically Shiro-levels of hit-sound hoarding, hitting the highs and lows to maintain a balance.
Personally, I like the portions post-spinner with the pseudo-reverse sliders.

Fort's is similar to Regou though with a tighter set that's more musically aligned with the track itself, so I felt no friction or off-hand usage.
Doesn't really offer much ground-breaking setups but they do well-enough in terms of play-ability.

Kin brings in some neat beat-map engineering. Kind of like observing a very clever system of mechanics.

Taeyang finally uses something I haven't seen in a long ass time. Custom slider-borders.
This entry is perhaps, one of the more 'clean' ones in terms of sharpness in visual placement.
The hiccups are apparent, but still a good synergy of play-ability and extra-criterion.

Wafu seems to have a bit of everything in his submission, and it plays with only what he needs inside of it with barely any overlapping objects on timeline.
Not particularly strong, but right for honorable mention I agree.

Ephemeral's scores are partially broken...


I didn't check all entries, just saw this when looking at Lasse's entry specifically.

I'd say that it doesn't affect anything after all, because Ephemeral's and ztrot's scores are concerning only creativity and others everything else, so the numbers sumed don't really make 100% sense. I doubt that maps were picked depending on the score only. (In that case, I and other people wouldn't be in honorable mentions)

Oh, I assumed that all maps in overall were picked depending on more than just the score. What Endaris said anyway wouldn't put anyone on 2nd nor 1st place, so it doesn't matter that much I guess.

Oops, that's a bit of a gaff. Not sure how I missed that one despite checking the scores three times. Maybe I need a new set of glasses.

I havent check everything, but from what I've seen, there is a lot of interesting map.

atm I can only remember about Monstrata's art and Wafu's awesome SB with a nice diff.

Now I wonder how mappers will be creative for the next aspire contest.

according to my score I was wondering why I was picked lol. Now it's clear.


btw ; I'm not sure if everyone understood how my diff should be played ; so I've add another diff without the 2B slider (click & flow are exactly the same)
ye without the 2B slider the map is almost a rankable Insane/Extra (which was my aim)
