This is Speed Up Ver. not Nightcore Mix

Nightcore stands for speed up songs with techno/trance/dance as genre.

If you want proofs, here some examples of:

20:39 Noffy: well I mean if I can actually find anything sure xD
20:39 Noffy: 00:15:332 (1) -  why isn't this slider symmetrical on the y axis this is an affront to symmetry 
20:39 *Noffy is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1131245 Jewel - What Child Is This (Nightcore Mix) [Easy]]
20:40 Jonawaga: why isn't widescreen support on
20:41 Jonawaga: ah true
20:41 Jonawaga: ok just a sec
20:41 Jonawaga: why isn't there world peace
20:41 Noffy: because it has yet to be done
20:42 Jonawaga: fixed
20:42 Jonawaga: tru
20:42 Noffy: :3
20:42 Noffy: 00:07:265 (1,2) -  how come you used 1.2 spacing here and 00:09:281 (3,4) - here?
20:43 Jonawaga: hm?
20:43 Jonawaga: easy or normal?
20:43 Noffy: easy
20:45 Jonawaga: uh
20:45 Noffy: ?
20:45 Jonawaga: you're totally correct about this
20:45 Noffy: ya
20:45 Jonawaga: it's just hard to fix because blankets ans symmetry ;-;
20:46 Noffy: ;v;
20:46 Jonawaga: and*
20:46 Noffy: ikno
20:46 Jonawaga: 00:08:273 (2,1) - is it ok if this is 1.2x?
20:47 Noffy: I think so, it's less noticable when they're not as close together
20:47 Jonawaga: uh
20:47 Jonawaga: I made it
20:47 Noffy: !!
20:47 Jonawaga: 1.16x
20:47 Noffy: nice
20:47 Jonawaga: close enough!
20:47 Noffy: yes!
20:47 Noffy: 00:16:340 (2) -  I think a shape like this would work better: http://puu.sh/stxTM/5bd308b5b3.jpg
20:48 Jonawaga: are u roasting my cheeto slider
20:48 Noffy: it gives the same general kind of movement while being a nice non-cheeto slider
20:48 Noffy: yus
20:48 Jonawaga: I totally agree
20:48 Noffy: 00:20:374 (2) -  (copy paste the other 1 if you do)
20:50 Jonawaga: done
20:50 Jonawaga: fixed
20:50 Noffy: 00:32:475 (2,3) - these look a bit weak to somewhat-but-not-really-wave
20:50 Noffy: maybe http://puu.sh/sty3M/8a5180055a.jpg >:3
20:51 Jonawaga: that would make the flow 00:33:483 (3,4) - here worse
20:51 Jonawaga: but
20:52 Noffy: hmm or
20:52 Noffy: more intense waves
20:52 Jonawaga: it would make the flow 00:31:466 (1,2) - here better
20:52 Noffy: >:3
20:52 Jonawaga: HM
20:52 Noffy: HM
20:54 Jonawaga: waves intensified~
20:54 Noffy: !!
20:54 Noffy: yay
20:54 Jonawaga: and
20:54 Jonawaga: 00:35:500 (1) - fix stack
20:54 Noffy: !!
20:54 Noffy: 00:40:542 (2,3) -  THESE R NICE
20:54 Jonawaga: thanks
20:55 Jonawaga: gotta love those blanketing wave functions
20:55 Jonawaga: used those in the mapping challenge :3
20:55 Noffy: :3
20:56 Jonawaga: btw I changed the circles to snowflakes
20:56 Jonawaga: ./barely/
20:56 Noffy: \barely?
20:56 Noffy: 00:49:617 (3) - try to revise this slider so that the center makes a nice teardrop shape?
20:56 Jonawaga: the shape is still pretty circular :p
20:56 Noffy: I see :3
20:58 Jonawaga: http://puu.sh/stym6/72dca3f50e.jpg
20:58 Jonawaga: ya mean like that?
20:58 Jonawaga: it's a no if that's what you mean owo
20:58 Noffy: yes like that-
20:58 Noffy: o
20:58 Noffy: oki owo
20:58 Noffy: 01:10:794 (2) -  what is this w;;w
20:59 Jonawaga: the tricurve slider >///<
20:59 Jonawaga: plz don't complain abou that
20:59 Jonawaga: it's beautiful
20:59 Noffy: oki
20:59 Noffy: then
21:00 Noffy: I think make the middle less intense
21:00 Jonawaga: it's a slider I used in this map
21:00 Noffy: http://puu.sh/styrX/338abcc5e6.jpg
21:00 *Jonawaga is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/907975 monaca:factory feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI - Guu-Paa Star [Hard]]
21:00 Jonawaga: ok
21:00 Jonawaga: but not /too/ unintense
21:01 Noffy: yea!
21:01 Jonawaga: cuz then it plays like a straight line owo
21:01 Noffy: yeah xD
21:01 Noffy: just so it's more obviously a tricurve! cause the ones on the edge are barely curves compared to the middle
21:02 Noffy: o1:30:810 - why the manually extended break?
21:02 Jonawaga: fir impact
21:02 Jonawaga: so BRING
21:02 Jonawaga: HIM INCENSE GOLD AND MYRRH
21:02 Noffy: 02:03:231 (2) - 
21:02 Noffy: omg
21:03 Noffy: 02:09:281 (2) -  this isn't exactly symmetrical btw right is higher than left
21:04 Jonawaga: fixed
21:04 Noffy: 02:22:391 (1,2,3,4) -  o no it's the beginning
21:05 Jonawaga: xd
21:05 Noffy: xd
21:06 Jonawaga: can we take a short break for me to ask questions?
21:06 Jonawaga: a) is it bad that I only use whistle and finishes?
21:06 Jonawaga: b) is my timing at the end correct?
21:08 Noffy: I beleive the timing at the end is correct
21:08 Jonawaga: !
21:08 Jonawaga: yay
21:08 Noffy: the hitsounding sounds nice and goes well with it since it's all piano+vocal
21:09 Jonawaga: it's piano+vocal+strings if I'm correct owo
21:09 Noffy: yes owo
21:10 Jonawaga: 01:12:811 -
21:10 Jonawaga: occasional triangle

21:11 Noffy: !
21:12 Noffy: lemme play it through again to get a feel for it overall first
21:12 Noffy: :3
21:12 Jonawaga: oki
21:12 Jonawaga: uwu
21:12 Jonawaga: you're testing
21:12 Noffy: uwu
21:12 Jonawaga: I was hoping to spec
21:12 Noffy: yes
21:12 Noffy: so if something drives me insane I can instapause and be like
21:12 Noffy: "YO
21:12 Jonawaga: xd
21:13 Noffy: 00:11:298 (1,2,3,4) -  i.e. why aren't these 1/1 sliders like  00:13:315 (5) - 
21:14 Noffy: ok I'll play-play it now xD

21:17 Jonawaga: it was to emphasize the strings while still making 00:11:970 - this clikcable
21:22 Noffy: ahhh I sees
21:22 Noffy: also back
21:22 Noffy: hi
21:25 Noffy: in that case, it's kind of odd that the circles don't follow the curve of the sliders
21:26 Noffy: and I reccomend trying to find a way to make them do so, cause currently having them a bit out of the way makes it weirdish to play ;
21:28 Jonawaga: fixed
21:28 Noffy: 00:57:685 (1,2) -   (same thing)
21:28 Jonawaga: continue plz
21:28 Noffy: 01:01:718 (1,2) -  pl z

21:32 Noffy: this diff is nice

21:32 Noffy: yeah I noticed xD

Marianna missing in tags fixed

idk what's up with ur sb but the bg is a different size during the break ill just put in some fades I'm sure it'll be fine

Normal

1. 00:12:307 (3,4) - think you should try just this rhythm to fit the instrumental better, or if you really need to make that a repeat slider
2. 01:19:870 - uh lol map this, it's too important of a beat to ignore just to follow strings...well i guess you can do like a 1/1 slider from 01:19:533 (4) - with a red point on the slidertick if you want for a similar effect that doesn't just totally ignore the downbeats you've been focusing on the rest of the map
3. 02:17:349 (2) - probably big overlappy sliders like this are too scary for Normal-level players, you can do fun sliderart but try not to completely intersect like this since Normal-level players don't have a good idea of how sliders move to know which way they should travel at the intersection fixed all~

---

Easy

00:49:617 (3) - , 01:42:054 (3) - , same as in Normal about sliderart, even moreso for Easy-level players, heavy overlappy sliderart is confusing for people who can barely play a straight slider properly fixed

and i think you should revise 02:03:231 (2) - 's design, it's really scrunched up to the point that the sliderbody doesn't properly connect to the sliderends adjusted slightly

i am sleepy sorry for sleepy mod I was sleepy sorry for sleepy map.

Why not silence the sliderslide? Fixed~!
Why you used PNG format for your BG? Convert it to JPG and it will save a lot of space! Transparency for the storyboard, since I use the background in the storyboard with fading effects

Could you explain: https://puu.sh/tlFX5/264719f55d.png ? It appears that way inside the editor, but it goes away during gameplay

[Easy]
02:19:365 (1) - Add a break after this note to keep consistency with other diffs. Fixed~!

[Blessing]
OD+1 Fixed~!
00:34:491 (3) - Wrong snap on its end. Fixed~!
00:42:559 (2,1) - Blanket should be better. Fixed~!
00:58:693 (2,3,4) - Flow could be much better if you try this: https://puu.sh/tlFEr/2d85a6bbe1.png Changed differently
01:01:718 (1,2) - Blanket does need to be improved. Fixed~!
01:20:878 (3,4) - They are too close, as to their sliderbody. Try this: https://puu.sh/tlFJi/740dad5564.png Fixed~!
02:17:349 (3) - Need a whistle on its head i guess. Fixed~!

On a more serious note, why is it still called "Nightcore Mix", even though MkGuh already pointed out that it should be "Speed Up Ver."? o:

IamKwaN wrote:

Sound like a Nightcore Version to me, as the pitch is higher than the original version while Speed Up Ver. only indicates the bpm turns faster.

so, probably something like this as the title is more appropriate:

What Child Is This? (Nightcore Mix)

Bonsai wrote:

Seems like we've got ourselves a rare case of KwaN being wrong, because raising the speed automatically raises the pitch too, which is mentioned in the article MkGuh linked too (speed =/= tempo). Just look at all the examples that MkGuh provided and you'll see that the pitch is higher everywhere.
The process that a Nightcore- or a SpeedUp-version go through is 100% the same, the only relevant difference is the genre of the song, techno/trance/dance-songs being called Nightcore. That's how we've been treating this in osu! for a long time now and I've got a SpeedUp-song ranked myself just two months ago and had that discussion there too

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
