there are dozens of farm maps with difficulty spikes at the end of the maps. which is pretty logical since the ending of a song is usually the most intense part. but do you know any maps where there are difficulty spikes at the beginning of the maps doesn't even have to be farm maps. can be technical, ar8, old, farm, marathon - whatever. i'm just interested if those exist too.
also: people always complain that mappers nowadays only map for pp. wouldn't a higher difficulty in the beginning also be better for that instead of the end? because when you got through the hard part you can almost surely fc the rest instead of retrying and always using up a lot of time just to make it to the hard part? i'm just wondering why most marathon compilations are lined up with increasing difficulty and/or bpm.
