Maybe it is just me, but somehow I like to put strong beat at the end of the slider in special occasions when I see fit. Imo it fits here pretty well to mark the end of the map.
Regarding SVs, the contrast is what I want to create here! High SV would be cool here as well, but I think I like the low SV more just because of the contrast it gives. It is hard to describe it exactly, but it is just something that resonates more for me.
Hello, thanks for the suggestion! I was thinking about changing to Beyond (because actually someone suggested the same thing before! see the link below), but somehow I feel like the longer version conveys the idea of time more explicitly. (https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/1157351/discussion/2418496/general#/1586363 where some different diff names were also being discussed).
sounds good. I did more complicated rhythm for 01:56:811 - (also changed 02:08:349 - correspondingly). I think I will leave 02:06:042 - the same to keep some variations.
That is a good point, but I think I want to keep the colorhex consistent here. From 00:31:427 - to 00:49:888 - , I use all cyan for the down-beat-ish sound - (e.g., 00:37:581 (1) - , 00:32:965 (1) - , 00:34:619 (2) - , 00:39:119 (1) - )
cool idea! Though I think here I want to keep the spacing large so that the difficulties of the three build-ups (00:56:041 - 00:19:119 - ) are somewhat consistent. Having a spiral flowing into the middle would have a significantly lower difficulty.
I still think the melody deserves the emphasis! The synths here sound very similar to 01:32:196 (1,2,3) - except missing the drum beat at 2, so similar rhythm choice would make sense. I am trying to follow the synths closely so I would want to keep the second slider if possible. (The synth sound is more noticeable in the normal playback speed.)
Good point. Did something similar to your suggestion.
My original intention was to only do jumps when there are strong vocals (that is why I had such a low-spacing here - 00:49:965 (2,2,1) - ), but I am more convinced now that 00:52:210 - 00:53:843 - deserve jumps more than 00:50:577 - .
