reflecting on it after like 2 years I think the main hangup I have with neil's sections is with the kickslider chains in the kiai's, something about them just doesnt click for me - the rhythm breakdowns like 01:46:109 (1,1,2,1,1) - do scratch that itch inversely but the kickslider chains being the focal point of the kiais and not really delivering on the gameplay front (for me at least) sours what is otherwise a really well executed map on the whole.
I agree that reviews deserve more attention than comments or ratings, but the immediate issue is that for 99% of beatmaps there is a large black void on the right side of the screen
My suggestion (guy who knows nothing about UI design or webdev) would be to have pages set to the original comments/ratings layout by default - with an automated switch to the new layout when a review is posted.
been waiting for this to get ranked for years, the additive hitsounding on the sliderticks was super impressive to me when I first saw them - held back a bit by some of the jankier cutstreams but otherwise very well done
unless recently patched out I can definitely recall playing 4+ min maps in ranked, distinctly remember one guy getting pissed at me for picking Kaikou Trialogue
Considering this was submitted in September 2011 it was really just patchouli and Val creating fully realised alternator maps in this sr range. Other mappers experimenting in the space (names that come to mind include 100pa, atk1992, and v2b) were still testing the waters while the blueprint was already being laid out.
left my first playthrough on tobe's diff a little conflicted, 00:34:451 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - leaves an immediate impact, the copy paste afterwards at 00:38:625 and 00:46:973 without the reverb on the falsetto to back it up ended up muddying some of it's initial appeal.
compared to life is game which is comfortably the more technically proficient outing from tobe this year, I felt a desire for this map to really nail it's emotional highlights to really stand out - I feel like he nailed this the first time you play the pattern, which makes it sad that subsequent uses afterwards don't seem to achieve that same impact.
3.5 > 4, love how the 1/3 trills play and finding the semi-stacked doubles more intuitive after initially playing this a year ago really helps me enjoy the map more as a whole
I'll go to bat for this set in that it doesn't feel like it's trying to imitate or 1up the patchouli set - I sometimes come back to this set for it's more conventional interpretation with simple snap alt patterns compared to gillstar's which I find tends to frustrate me with certain unintuitive patterns that don't feel particularly rewarding for investing multiple plays into.
fun fact if u dont agree with someone's rating all the other ratings on the map end up standardising the output, one rating does nothing except push a few decimal points in one direction or another!
Think I've thought to myself that I'd like to see a map of this song played straight enough times that it probably means I don't like the map as much as I thought I did initially

Shoutout the 1/8 into 1/4 splashes at 01:04:661 (4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1) - those bad boys are sexy as fuck

being spotlighted single handedly dropped the map from #2 2016 to #3. The Bogandoff's won.

bring robohitler back
Very disciplined understanding of the fundamentals of old school alt style here, a real treat to find this while searching through graveyarded maps
hell yea
very clear through line between the two

pick this into ur opponent on osu matchmaking to make them spontaneously combust

fortunately peaking in 2012 and this map being raw as fuck are not mutually exclusive

doubling down kiiwa's diff is an all timer
It’s a bit rough, I can see the intent with difficulty progression between kiai’s but it’s fairly haphazard in execution
2 bat more than a bat I do #maths

U are a strange person
we post the same comment twice because apparently we cant get the point across otherwise
fun fact if u dont agree with someone's rating all the other ratings on the map end up standardising the output, one rating does nothing except push a few decimal points in one direction or another!
although both the lunatic diff and the delis set have done nothing for me so it remains my preferred option of the bunch
