And that's what this technique is? If it just goes round in a circle it's a flower combo

Not obvious enough names I guess.

You're lucky the AR was too high for me to notice before!

4 if you know how to use them, they look and play great. They suck on Sushi's maps though (and Poinsettia).

Most awesome in Poinsettia, where they are basically the theme of the map.
ShaggoN
Yup. I love it :D
Ofc when you have to play it with 2 fingers it's getting tough.

I really like them too, and will include them in my maps where possible.
But yeah, if poorly placed, this one really sucks DX

When they're used in the middle of complicated patterns and they're clearly forced, they're annoying. They're nice, but I get the impression that they're used because the mapper can't think of anything more imaginative. It's even worse when a star blatantly doesn't fit the theme of the track and/or the map. For example, if the map's more based around smooth shapes and curves (i.e. few polygons), it feels silly to see a star out of nowhere.

'Poinsettia' is obviously an acceptable use of star formations, because Sanae is a star-spamming bitch (especially in Soku). It's a shame that the map's pretty obnoxious in parts.

its good as long the range is not too far 4/5

I like them, usually they're a bit jumpy which is fine and it makes me pay closer attention to the order they appear. They generally look very nice.

Really good technique, it can be used in almost any parts of a song (for both jumps or non-jumps!). Only problem for me is how to continue mapping after this formation, without making it look too awkward :|
