My 2024 ranked maps review
Made by Mahiru Shiina
Inspired by Aurorance's and Murada's lists of review for their ranked maps in a given year.
Maps are compared to my other maps and not other's in order of them being ranked (collabs not included). Special thanks to everyone who contributed to my maps as well as letting me contribute to their maps :D
#1
MAISONdes - I Wanna Muchu feat. asmi, Three (TV Size) [Expert]
I honestly think this map is pretty cute. It doesn't go too fancy with anything but just expands some ideas in a way that's easy to grasp. Some structure and movement could be better but there's nothing much to complain about, special thanks to Oko for suggesting me to do something other than the original stacked wave pattern at 01:16:143 .
3.5/5

BUTAOTOME - Gensou no Satellite [Mahiru's Expert]
This was mapped on 2023 as a tournament custom and I honestly don't like this map at all. It tries to do everything but in a very incoherent, mashed and duck taped together manner. I wouldn't even blame you if you think this is a 3 man collab who don't know anything they're doing as that's exactly how I feel looking at it right now. At least the song is good enough that it kinda masks that feeling away.
0.5/5

Kotone - Kagome [Rebellion]
I kinda hit my peak on this map. Though this map did suffer from me rushing things a bit at the last few sections of the map with the way I defaulted to the same few patterns that hid some nuances in the song. But overall I was pretty satisfied with the result and I really enjoyed my time mapping this.
4.5/5

Sou - Sekai o Inuite (TV Size) [Mahiru's Expert]
Nothing really special here, it's just my default mapping style with some rhythm gap to spice things up. Execution was okay IMO but overall it's pretty average.
2.5/5
