tewi spinners

[@Shawdooow]

In lazer since you can have offcenter spinners this is entirely possible with use of multiple spinners at the same time at times. Still might be lack luster compared to the other 2 objects but might still be a fun experiment to try.

[@decaymodi]

sounds fun

[@mqnoarak5237]

10:29 bro that pass

[@Dedgyblazer]

mqno a rák looks like my shit after eating blue paint

[@seselis1]

7:51 when you play taiko for the first and the last time

[@ItsLumenite]

how dare you

[@thememelords9491]

I agree

[@hypercyte]

5:44 No Escape

[@opposite342]

hypercyte Hitorigoto rule da world!!!

[@shyskie5182]

spinners only when

[@zz-uk8iv]

in aspire 2020

[@DJruslan4ic]

-1 length slider only mapping

[@crikhard]

wow pishi I didn't know you were a pro at taiko

[@lafiki999]

What? How...where am I? I have never even heard of this game, now I'm watching a really well-made, in depth video on...making maps for it, I guess? Nice

[@babydactyl]

i actually loved your streetlight manifesto slider map. absolutely the best song by them to map in only sliders, and it introduced me to the band. a lot of unique flows made it fun and the lack of anxiety from accuracy was nonexistent, you just had to keep the flow of the sliders to maintain accuracy

[@AscendedOnOsu]

Oh my I bet spinner only maps would be impossible.

[@fuwameanssoft]

7:51 It’s a shame that you missed the Taiko World Cup, pishi

[@livecorp7484]

lmfao 8 digit tournament

[@deso2]

nacht 100 circle only

[@raynesylvania8541]

some say that with every video the "hello there" gets more cheerful.

[@ky3518]

Making slider act like circle is easy, just use 1/8 slider and turn down the volume of it's tail to 5

[@zethz161]

Circle only maps Oh you mean taiko maps xd I'm taiko player so dont blast me xd

[@gdash6925]

ZethStar Steven he means the circle only maps where you have to move your mouse too

[@Voltaeyx]

i mean, taiko maps have sliders and spinners too lol. just nowhere near as frequently as std

[@sharudesu]

I guess Harumachi Clover was the first circles-only map I've played. and never played again

[@AndrewRKenny]

This is one of your coolest vids IMO. Great insights!

[@BigDBrian]

IMO swaying from the gimmick of the entire map can work as a form of emphasis. Ending with just a circle instead of a slider would make it stand out very naturally, which makes for a good climax.

[@MintyCodes]

I was literally playing a circle-only map five minutes ago and thinking about the points in this video. Great video!

[@lawrencfgsdfg]

minty is here no way

[@MintyCodes]

why did i comment this

[@Menolifee]

ive played your streetlight manifesto map and didnt even notice its sliders only low brain level

[@MaemiNoYume]

my favorite only-circles map is a guest diff by alacat on a loved beatmaped called: Feliz Pascoa pra todos voces apesar de ninguem ter me mandado chocolates - Maffalda. I think this is really pretty

[@szaasowo]

for a split second i thought it said "6 days ago" and almost had a heart attack

[@m.yassin611]

SPINNER ONLY MAP POGGERS

[@spongechair]

0:19 Well, unless it is like a map of Ming's Infinity

[@skyo3402]

You aren't really good at taiko, are you ? :^)

[@zz-uk8iv]

*HELLO THERE* ok, now, how long do i have to wait to get 100+ likes smh?..

[@mustymen1627]

Comment in pishi's voice and you'll get there in no time

[@obee58]

wanna try circles only mapping but don't think i can top encounter for song choice; it's perfect for that style

[@MechaStorm7]

I'm fairly new to mapping and already had this idea of a circle only map after playing one. But mine feels super wanky, I don't know how I can really make the best of it, rip :(

[@SickAttorney]

Think about catch and taiko?

[@eltroll019]

taiko god right here

[@SpeckyYT]

I would like to map, but I'm not a creative guy... R.I.P.

[@cloud-dv1wb]

hey u know what doesn't have any circles and sliders? mania haha

[@Fauzan1812]

bhkbhbjbhjjjj single notes and long notes :thinking:

[@_untitld7174]

you could consider LNs to be sliders

[@Fauzan1812]

It's more similiar to "hold notes" but yea

[@Lambda.Function]

The worst gimmicks in osu mapping: completely inconsistent spacing and timing with the same patterns and music (breaks intuition), extreme overlapping density requiring a special skin just to be readable (especially sub AR 9.5), short/fast sliders that require a longer press to get both ends during a kiai or high BPM maps (fuck mapping for DT players, because these don't require longer presses in DT), abuse of slider ends for eliminating half of the click leniency (slider end -> circle on quarter beat that's far in excess of anything else in the map difficulty wise), making otherwise unreasonable jumps to abuse slider leniency, gigantic spikes in difficulty in one section of a song (especially the end) in an unwarranted way (unfitting of difficulty name and star rating, fuck you sotarks, you're a hack), unexpected extremely high velocity sliders with beats in them causing instant combo breaks (you can't sightread SV, shit like this is horrendous). That's just a few of them. I really wish BNs just put things in a "nominated" state, not ranked, and if a map becomes ranked, all scores/pp from the nominated state will carry over, but maps only reach ranked with a sufficiently high number of plays (requiring the top 20 to be at or very close to 100% to automatically DQ maps designed to have slider end misses or extremely awkward beat timings that can't be tapped rhythmically, it's a fucking rhythm game guys) and a high enough player rating to meet the criteria of "good" for many people. That then brings on another, and perhaps the biggest problem in osu: ratings happen after you finish a map, but if 90% of people play a map through, realize it's complete trash and immediately delete the entire mapset because it's the same trash, it should count as the lowest possible rating, because that's exactly what an instant delete means. Hell, doing a map 15 times because it's designed to be unreadable or intentionally combo break only to realize it's not fun because the mapper is a fucking idiot, BNs are retarded, and QAT doesn't care about quality should definitely be reflected in the rating of a map, and honestly a sufficient number of these should just drop a map from ranked back to nominated or into a DQ state. There are a lot of great mappers and a lot of great maps, but for every single great map there are 10 that are bullshit intended to be gimmicky for unrecognized (by osu's algorithm) difficulty or intended to abuse the PP system, and not one of those should be ranked. Loved sure, but never ranked.
