Toromaru - Formless Canvas by DeviousPanda

its sad cuz u know this took him like 10 hours to map

why yall hatin

@funny first of all, i gotta clarify that the only reason the map is so dense is that it looks cool when played in the editor because theres a lot of shit on screen. i'm sure panda says it's because he likes high density difficult stuff, but the reason he likes it is because there's a lot of shit on the screen. the downside to this is that the map in its intended form is accessible to only about 100 players and it generally just comes off as grossly overdone, especially when there are actual, more interesting ways of making maps look chaotic and visually dense without making them high 8*

also the kicksliders in this map are just random. like i'm listening to the sounds he's using them on and i'm not hearing anything consistently different from any of the other notes in the song. combine this with pitch info being lost within a combo of the insane density and panda's generally one-note patterning in this map and you get a map that's total nonsense on closer observation

i look at maps with music 40% effects 70%

upon listening to the actual song perhaps it Is a bit overdone

respectfully what the fuck is goin on here

@olc i understand but the song is called Formless Canvas so total nonsense mapping actually makes sense btfo

get this man a Formless Canvas to write his comments on

mapping equivalent of jingling keys

just realized this is an AI background i made gg it's over

its kinda obvious

it's still crazy that in 2022 you could receive credit for making an AI background though

tbh I kinda miss when ai was used to make weird stuff like this

most redeeming thing about this map is the hitsounding

01:54:742 (1) - pen*s slider goes hard though

if this map was a person they would be one of the WORST people to go out with. Guy Who Sucks At Being A Person Sees Huge Potential In AI. would pull up to the date in a cybertruck and a blue flannel. would show you their nfts. self proclaimed prompt engineer. insists on going to a pretentious burger place and says something really weird about women that makes you make up an excuse to call off the date

now that i can sorta play the down diff, i quite like it
