F-777 - Deadlocked by Visionary

@visionary how much are u paying per rating? dm prices

$30 per star is the going rate ive heard

me personally though im quite proud of this map i think u should check it out and rate it what u think it should be rated

visionary only paid me $60

for real though I think last striker is a lot better of a map than this one maybe its song diff though

Any of u been playing deadlock

Also i think its doing a little too much in the non kiai parts

i view the kiai and non kiai as the same intensity cuz the artist is kinda stupid so i tried to match that but still distinguished them through style u Know what i Mean..

מה אתה יודע על ה־ FOUR FOR FOUR?

I hereby formally and unequivocally declare that at no point in time did I, under any circumstances, receive monetary compensation, financial incentives, or mysterious envelopes of cash from an individual known only as “Visionary” in exchange for providing an exceptionally high rating on their map.

Any allegations suggesting otherwise are entirely fictional, dramatically overstated, and possibly the result of excessive imagination. My rating was, of course, issued with the utmost integrity, free will, and absolutely zero influence from suspiciously generous transactions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter of utmost importance.

Mirage is the current Path of Exile league

personally i think this is my best map ever and i enjoy playing it so i would like to hear feedback from people rating it Lower than a Good Rating! i aim to Improve

top diff looks cool but plays like….. uh……. erm…………..

i really dont like the rhythm choice it feels like additive triples are placed because u want to place a pattern and it's visually unintrusive to add th etriple rather than to follow any sound or make clicking fun

and then i think i liked the slow fast thing u had going in the non chorus parts but 00:18:928 (5) - 00:45:447 (1,2) - etc. then there are parts that just kinda kill it because u made it too spaced or whatever

honestly i don't think this chorus is handled badly: its kinda hard for me to articulate things that i think are actively bad that i could see being done better by someone i liked without just not being the same map anymore especially since this song just does not have anything interesting to map imo

but also i don't like the chorus for a variety of reasons

like i get that everything is fine about the visuals gestalt principles etc. but i have always disliked when patterns stretch themselves really far along one axis even if it like has a lot of visual connections along that axis 00:30:187 (3,4,5,1)

i dont like maps from certain mappers because of this issue whereas maps with really compelling visual to me almost always spacefill both vertically and horizontally (kibb)

and then uh the slidershapes used dont really make gameplay thats interesting for me either. something i really like about sharu/hawkens/neil and basically nobody else is that theres compelling different ways where u leave a slider or follow a slider like sometimes u cheesemax deluxe and then snap out and sometimes u just follow it but this map just handles every slider the same way

never understood keysounding just makes you listen to the song twice and you get no feedback on other objects as a "tradeoff"

it would be so dope if gd songs had the actual level as bg

last kiai is so fun wish the firstparts had more breathing space with rhythm tho

spiritually vbr

penis music

its okay

i tried to make ks more additive than just being a copy of the song + some more feedback on hitnormals but im Unsure how well that worked out but i do know azer set his score on this with my ks on so Maybe thats ok !?

as for the rhythm i had no fucking clue what to do so i ended up just going completely off vibes because this fucking horrible song has zero interesting rhythm and is practically the same intensity throughout Lol Electronic Newgrounds Music Producer !!

nah its chill dw
also didn't notice the keysounds wha

in short i just rly dislike the super constant rhythmic density which feels at odds with the movement being sporadic. instances like 00:19:965 (1,2,3,1,2,3) - where it seems obvious that the movement is slowing down to allow a bigger impact on the next downbeat but theres still kicksliders and a burst in the pattern. as a result it feels like its in this weird limbo zone where patterns feel neither smooth nor emphasized enough.

also not a big fan of rigid tetris visuals cuz it makes individual patterns struggle to stand out but the visuals overall are still good

i like mint's diff a lot more because it manages to create meaningful rhythm contrast whilst maybe due to a lower sr. but u can still make more interesting/intentional rhythm in harder maps with clever usage of additive bursts and 1/3 1/2 1/1 gaps etc or even 1/8 slider gaps. here the bursts just seem to be arbritrary with patterns that seem to be slowing down containing bursts and patterns that are intense not containing them
