Hello! A storyboard mod (?) Just a thought about the SB
I know there was a little discussion on the SB already. The storyboard itself doesn't bothers me at all; I think it's pretty funny & clever, and that there's no need to put a limit to creativity in a case like this, so all that is fine to me c:
But I do have a problem with it: I don't think some elements of the storyboard should be on every diff.
Here are the elements that I think should be (partially) removed from the mapset:
-The lyrics: In lower diffs, they just don't match with what's being played. A (new) player playing one of the lower diffs and reading the storyboard will not understand the joke OR be able to relate it to the map, and will probably get confused by it; I think this should be avoided.
A person that can play & pass Kawabunga (Or some of the other higher diffs) is already familiarized enough with osu! (In general) to understand the concepts and references, that just isn't the case with newer players.
-The last 4 Miku gifs: On Kawabunga the 4 Mikus drop and fall in a place where they get inside of some sliders, and that's cool, but that doesn't happen anywhere else on the mapset. That makes those gifs
unnecesary on the other diffs. Note that I know these don't actually do any harm (Because they can't cause any confussion), so this one is optional.
So, my suggestion is:
-Delete the lyrics on the diffs Easy, Normal, Hard, Kyversible's Insane and Another. I guess the lyrics can be kept on the rest of the diffs, since they use a small cs, and again, I think anyone that can play the 3 diffs above Another is experienced enough to understand the storyboard xD
-Delete the last 4 Miku gifs on every diff but Kawabunga (Optional).
This shouldn't be so hard, if the storyboard was made with scripting, Damnae will only have to delete the textlines on the diff's .osb files that correspond with the things I mentioned (I don't know if it's actually that easy, I'm just guessing here o_o)
Well, that's all I wanted to say, not much, but it's definitely something that should be given some thought before this map goes ranked
