Bump since it's been 10 days or so since the start of the most recent thread and the OP states he'd like go see 1-2 a week. Also, noticed the OP is of needing an update :P I'm sure the posters here would also appreciate feedback on their nominations such as whether or not the technique is thread ready or if it needs additional or more clarifying examples, etc. Thanks! If you're in need of additional techniques, there are a lot of currently unnamed patterns I can think of to nominate (I just don't want to flood this thread all at once :D)

Something for osu!standard that I personally find would be delicious if more people used it.

Introverted Flow
... is mainly a flow that is (literally translated from Latin) "pointing towards inside". It can be seen as...
  1. ...a sharp flow dropoff from an arc to another that sometimes blankets the start of the previous one or...
  2. ...a not-so sharp dropoff making the first arc blanket the end of the second one, with or without circle between

I personally fell in love with this mapping technique. I'd really love to hear other opinions!

Same Beat, Different Spacing

This technique is when a beat is so consistent (1/2 for 6+ notes or so) that the spacing is disregarded.

Back-and-forth Sliderbased jumps (or probably a shorter name)
Gamemode: osu! standard
Consists of making back-and-forth jumps (or triangles) using a slider as the 'base' for the jump (dunno how to explain, really)

Renard - Why Am I So Angry [Nogard]

Nickelback - Rockstar [Collab]

Sorry for only using my maps as example, I don't know any other maps with this but it's still a pretty nice technique :(
Slider-crossing jumps? Those can be slick when pulled off properly.

Inconsistent, confusing-ass jumps? Excuse me while I vomit behind the shed.

DEEDIT: I'd like to nominate overmapping, just to see what people actually think of it.

reposting this from the old thread (posted this 2 years ago, I suppose it was simply ignored)

After seeing the "Drain Section" I'm nominating the Recovery Section (aka new combo spam :P)

Basically it's the usage of many new combos in a certain section of the map, preferably right before the chorus or the repeat of the chorus. It works best with higher HP drain rates and is supposed to "heal" the player right before the more challenging part is starting. Also there can be more of them e.g. to recover after a hard section.

There are many maps with new combo "spam" but I don't know if the mappers had the recovery-technique in mind, so I will post 2 of my own maps where I intentionally used this:

Map #1: HTT - NO, Thank You! (TV Size)


Map #2: Rina Satou - Keikenchi Joushouchuu (TV Size)


In both examples I used the new combo section right before the chorus repeats. I think "NO, Thank YOU!" is the better example since the HP drain can be pretty harsh if you don't have a good accuracy (~95% or higher).

I'd generally consider overmapping a negative term, in that if people ever use it, it usually means that they don't like it because it is "overmapped." I don't really recall someone saying I like how this song is overmapped in this particular part. Thus, overmapping is a very opinionated statement where some people believe it to be overmapped and therefore dislike it, while others don't believe it is overmapped and therefore like it for some other reason. There needs to be a different term to replace overmapping, or we need to somehow strictly define overmapping, which is pretty much impossible because some people believe that certain parts of the music are emphasized more than the other, blah blah blah, etc.

I discussed for that rule, it's discouraged in easier diffs, but fine in harder

Yes, yes it is. All the more I'm surprised I'm seeing this in some newly ranked maps.

Not to mention it plays really bad and is basically unreadable in the first play.

Call me strange, but I'm a noob and I can play it well onto the first play, differently from most of the techs when badly used who can't be played well even on the 10th.
EDIT:Didn't remember to add that you arleady ranked some map using it

Who came with the idea of being unrankable on harder difficulties? o_O

It's completely readable on sight-reading if done right. It's a very interesting technique imo.


Just dropped by to say that :p

Can I post?

Consecutive and curved sliders with overlapped bodies (I really don't know how to rename it)
Gamemode: osu! standard
It consists of making a slider that starts from the previous slider's tail and curved under the previous slider's body.
This kind of pattern is just awesome.

Hatsune Miku - Unhappy Refrain [Rin] (NatsumeRin)

SPOILER
02:31:265 (1,2,3,4) - and 02:33:607 (1,2,3,4) - (I have reduced the AR)



Slider - circle jump - slider between the previous 2 elements - repeat again (is it possible to use a name for this? xD)
Gamemode: osu! standard
It consists of making a slider followed by a small circle jump and followed again by a slider placed between the firs slider and that previous circle jump.
They are fun to play with double time. The flowing is amazing.

Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler [Insane] (Lesjuh)

SPOILER
02:14:915 (2,3,1,2,1,2) - (I have reduced the AR)

or

Kajiura Yuki - Credens justitiam [Insane] (Chewin)

SPOILER
01:14:739 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - and 01:18:269 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - (I have reduced the AR)



Repetetive patterns with rotation

Gamemode: osu! standard
This is one of my favourite patterns, and the most awesome mapper to do it is NatsumeRin (yes, I love his style).
It consists to make a flowing pattern (like for example in this case 1/2 circle - circle - slider) and pasting it again with a rotation (I don't know how much)

Rohi - Kodoku Egoism [Rin](NatsumeRin)

SPOILER
00:58:475 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) (I have reduced the AR. It is confusing now, you should play it to see how awesome it is)


Or just moving the pattern some grid left (IT'S JUST AMAZING)
01:08:854 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) -


I would mention some other techniques. I will next time.

It's only unreadable with hidden...

playing badly is also an opinionated statement. Works and flows really well sometimes, other times it seems useless. It's more of a special mapping technically that should be mapped to something special in the music imo. Not a huge fan of people just randomly using it though. Though if the flow work good, then I'm fine with it.

Funny, that. I've made another map like that and I like the effect. It's like al-azif maps in that sliders have a more profound effect on flow, but not as terribad.

Opposed Pathless Sliders

  1. Technique: OPPOSED PATHLESS SLIDERS
    .
  2. Game mode: osu!Standard
    .
  3. Description: A group of four notes {usually: (1,2,3,4)}, coming in pairs (1,2) (3,4), having their flows in opposite (or nearly opposite) manner. They look much like two opposed sliders, except by the "absence of the sliderpath". They need 4 clicks instead of two clicks with some short holding, if player wants keep the combo. It's very difficulty, recommended for Insane/Another/Extra diffs.
