damn, i didn't remember this map very well and i thought it might be overhyped but hey this map actually lives up to the hype. this one hit pretty hard. i would have liked it a liiiiiiiiittle bit more if the band didn't go trancecore mode during the last kiai though like you are not fear loathing in las vegas what is u doing 😭
this map is still so cool. it introduced many fresh ideas in one complete package that hasn't dated a single bit. not just that, but unlike a lot of tech maps, this map actually feels like the mapper cared about gameplay experience that represents the music. i wish more people took note from that part of this map.
yea, this is a really good map that has some wild ideas. it's kinda a bummer that this is the highest rated nold map but i can get behind that since it's more accessible than most nold maps.
imma be honest i haven't played this map in a long time so my impression about this map was pretty faint and outdated, and i didn't go into it with much expectation, but i was pleasantly surprised. this map is delicate and it doesn't end up being too edgy, i feel like movement was very well considered in this map. while my favorite part is the guitar solo part where the map really goes off, chill parts you can still tell they were not inted, which i love to see. really good map.
Karen takes ideas from maps and makes them their own successfully and beautifully on this map. not a lot of maps from this era of mapping hit as hard as this does to this day.
pretty strictly tries to follow the song, but thanks to the design choices (fast sliders, small circles, for example) the map doesn't end up feeling too plain or anything like that. pretty enjoyable, nice map!
this is a pretty nice map. i don't think it's as good as people make it up to be, but it's still good. kudos for making something this hard and ALSO this good when there used to be not many good hard maps. this map set a good precedent i suppose.
maybe charles445 was right all along we are simply not hanzer, he just does his shit so properly
jokes aside, while i still believe Lan wings' Hades in the Heaven is what people think this map is, this map is still really good and deserves all the praise it gets. you can tell HanzeR really applied all the things he did with a lot of care, and even dares to add his own twist here and there. it's still aging beautifully, and i believe it will continue to.
this song calls for a map that goes off and Jounzan delivers what it deserves. Jounzan kinda does what he usually does but the map still doesn't really arbitrary at all, quite the opposite actually. some jumpscare spacing moments here and there but they still play well for what they are, so eh.
i see this map more as a stepping stone for RLC as a mapper after studying the blade of dksslqj, and his craft really did improve as the time went on. i believe why people loved this map so much was because this map still had some ideas that the community wasn't familiar with or simply were never seen before, and most importantly, visuals. i still feel this map is somewhat weak as a whole package, too much of it feels arbitrary even though it might look nice and well structured. moral of the story is why not stan anhedonia instead??????????????????
man, you can really FEEL that NatsumeRin did not want to waste a single pattern that he puts onto the screen. not much i can say other than that this map is a showcase of pure mastery, and to add it aged terrificly a decade later.
it's truly insane what tsuka could achieve in 2011. though not the entire map may have aged all that well to this day, it's still a striking showcase of brilliant ideas in its own right. personally i'm too much of a tsuka fan to rate this lower than 4.5 lol
wow, i didn't go into this map expecting to be this impressed, especially because i'm not really a big fan of jonathanlfj. but this map could easily have its place as a pinnacle of "inoffensive mapping" or whatever buzzword you could attach to it. didn't bore me a single second, just pulled me into the map for its entire duration. insanely consistent quality mapping, bravo.
This map is a musical experience. there are still not many maps that achieve to be as well tied to the music as this map does. every transition between different parts, every idea for each section of the song, everything in this map is done so beautifully.
this map is okay, but it still felt more engaging than plain so it still left a pretty positive impression on me. while it wasn't anything special for me, i believe for all the russian mapping fans which i know there are a lot, this would be a hard-hitter.
a classic stream map, it's really cool to see how Muya manages to catch musical nuances through seemingly pretty simple distance snap'd patterns. kinda flexing their mastery in mapping really, to this day this map puts the majority of stream maps to shame.
this is yet another "specialty" map on the chart after BASARA, and i like this map for similar reasons. v2b decides not to follow the music strictly, but to create an experience of cruising along with it, which in my opinion is done quite successfully. though i believe that was done better on Byakuya Gentou, this map is not to be ruled out still.
this map is not bad at all. i'd even say there's delicacy and care put into it, but it's not quite vibing with me, because of stylistic choices that the mapper makes. this map makes me want more of something at all points. it could be more guitar mapping in the guitar solo part, and since i'm kinda fried right now so i can't put into words very well, but the gameplay kinda felt like clearing one pattern and then another. it didn't click with me very well. i actually like the low bpm part the most lol.
what do i have to say about this map?
this map has some of the best implementations of 2B patterning i've ever seen. throughout the map there are moments and moments where rustbell flexes their genius with cool ideas.
but i'm torn. i'm really torn on this map. while it is a cool map it still feels like an idea dump where rustbell was kinda just testing things out, and that makes the map as a whole a somewhat weak package.
i can't give this map a rating. there really isn't a good number that i think is fair, any possible rating feels.. wrong.
you are not hanser
this might be the horniest map ever
wow this takes me back

this is a pretty long and repetitive song but the map keeps it engaging. not much to say about it, it's just a good map.

nice map! Jounzan doing his thing as usual but it still felt proper. idk if it's #20 of all time good, though.
+i like the (1) (1) (1)s

successful recipe for a map:
have the coolest fucking idea for song interpretation ever
do it consistently throughout the map
profit 👍
