Feryquitous Vo.F9 - Monochrome Re.Surgence by rustbell

if there was a map that would make me cry it'd be this one

MY GOAT

I like the rhythm choice though

This is like all the parts I hate about HW maps condensed into one continuous sequence

Holy fuck. Holy fucking fuck. That mapping of yours is absurd.

i think back then i didnt know what a movement is but then garvanture shown me this and i was like oh okay this map moves

Holy FUUUUUCK

i really wasnt going to look at this until melloe commented but hoyl Fuckign fuck fuck fuck

whole map is fantastic but everything after the break is some of the most magical mapping in the game to me. particularly after this point 04:03:212 (1) - . somehow he makes a melody out of the drums. the choices he makes here are pure alchemy. there's no simple formula, you can't be taught how to do this.

04:03:212 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - little movements here

it's incredible how much mileage he gets out of these simple lines of 1/2 circles. 04:14:998 (2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) - 04:05:202 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - 04:08:110 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - 03:53:416 (1,2,3,4,5) - 03:57:549 (2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2) - nothing fancy is needed, simplicity is complicated enough already.

04:04:437 (1,2,3) - big movement to highlight the drums, BUT the exact same sound is later represented by a simple line of circles 04:09:335 (1,2,3,4) -
then the same sound, now represented by a simple slider 04:14:233 (1) - 04:16:682 (1) -
and finally he switches it up again with three sets of 4 04:18:518 (2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1) -

03:52:192 (1,2,1,2,3,4) - such a beautiful pattern. not only in a vacuum but in that context also

watch this map 10 times, 20 times, 100 times, it's still not enough. you can sense what rustbell wanted from every object. everything makes sense. mapping at its best is like a form of speaking, i don't know how else to put it. without effort you assemble letters to create words to create sentences, to spin from thin air new meaning which wasnt there before.
