Fafurion Hes the new Benny. I love benny, we're buddies. But straight up Faf kills him with actual dancing. Bennys still making good maps but Faf actually thinks about the dancing most of the time instead of just body wiggle these days. Old benny maps are far far better dance maps.

Just picked up BS after a 10 day absence. SyncSaber grabbed a bunch of new tracks for me and I spent the night sight reading them all once. I missed this. Also, I think there's only like 2 songs I've ever #1'd, and it's always in the first couple days, but here's today's.  P.S. Hi QTPop! Edit: Benny's new track (Pretty Girl) is a lot of fun too, recommend it. Edit2: Fafurions new track (Moves like Jagger) was also hella fun.

I just played every single fafurion song. First off, I totally get that liking one mapper over another is completely and utterly subjective. And for the record I do like him, he is very dancy and fun. Buuuuuuttttt He is just not hard at all. There is so little challenge I often found myself bored. Also he has a couple moves he relies on too heavily in almost every map of his. Firstly I really loved the side to side swipes he does, I found that fun, but it became less fun when it was in almost every song. But what takes the cake as a huge crutch for him is he loves putting in walls that are preceded by an opposite double swipe you kind of push the wall away. Its a cute flourish but he does it in EVERY SINGLE SONG and it becomes a bit redundant and also kind of boring since he typically uses long walls. Take a look at Benny's new song Pretty Girl for some super interesting uses of walls to really make your body do interesting and fun stuff. I still appreciate the suggestion, and look forward to the stuff he continues to put out, but still Benny is #1 in my heart!

Skyarb posted:I just played every single fafurion song. Fafwalls ™ I totally get that. I still say his maps dance better than benny though. I agree his "dance" stuff isnt hard. But thats kinda the point. They are OST expert basically. With that said, bass drop and talus are both more speedy maps. and no Fafwalls ™ The walls have kind of almost become a running joke. They always tend to work where he uses em but its totally how Fafwalls™ became a thing. BTW Faf/benny collab coming soon.  Gerdalti posted:

Really, if you play a bunch of songs by any mapper in a row you start to notice their "thing". Benny uses the hell out of the "2 notes down, then one hand high, 2 notes down again, then other hand high”. I call it the Bennyhop in my head. Edit: you can even see a variant of it in Pretty Girl, start at 26 seconds. Phone posting otherwise I'd direct link. https://youtu.be/ypLvGRy0hSQ Gerdalti fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Feb 1, 2019 |

Saxman was so fun, I kind of am in love with it, obviously not hard but just so fun and funny! God I really love this game. Fafwalls haha that makes sense. And yeah Benny has his own things for sure too. I really want benny to take on some of the fun two handed side by sides faf does a lot, hopefully he'll learn about it after the collab, thats super exciting!

Sooooo I’m addicted to pentachrome (5 color chomeatoggle mode). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2M_Rj0wBrk Chromatoggle has made this game new and fresh again. It’s bringing new life to otherwise dead maps for me. What a good time. Highly recommend. Also rgb lighting is amazing.

Do you have to manually change what color is in your hand or something? Now that I’m finally creeping into expert+ the only flaw I’ve found in this game is that I keep outgrowing my favorite tracks.

Yeah, you pull the trigger on the hand for each color. Pink and red = left and blue/green right. Grey is either hand which, honestly is worse than color swaps lol. So if I have to hit red blocks, I hold left trigger during those blocks. Green, same deal, but right trigger

I made a map. I don't have a lot of time as an adult with a kid to do that, so it will probably not have anything except E+, but it is free it had that going for it. https://bsaber.com/songs/12871/ There's a neat new preview thing here, too: https://supermedium.com/beatsaver-viewer/?id=12871-13808 Might take a minute to load, and look down and make sure you're facing the same directing as your feet if you can't get outta the AR view.

Been quiet in here. I did a thing tonight. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/385300143 Overkill - Nuketime. Pentachrome (5 colors). I really should have not gone that hard for my second or whatever song for the night. But we did the shrek movie so it was pretty chill for 90 min after that.

I made a thing! https://bsaber.com/songs/13628/ This is the first song that I've mapped. It took me about two full days, and I'm really happy with the outcome. It's dancy and has a fun drum breakdown and I think it flows well. Only one difficulty (Expert); I started to make a Hard version and it just seemed too grueling to go through. LMK what you think!

This game rules and I've been having a blast trying out different songs but holy poo poo have some mappers never played the game before? Also streams of dot blocks are lazy as gently caress and the quickest way for me to delete your song.

Previa_fun posted:This game rules and I've been having a blast trying out different songs but holy poo poo have some mappers never played the game before? 2 minutes of continuous downward slashes on beat is the laziest and shittiest way to map a song. You had best have a really good reason to have two consecutive red and two consecutive blue downward slashes, because almost anything is more fun than that. A lot of the lovely maps are from music game nerds who think that difficult=fun, even if the difficulty is just "here's three quick notes one behind another with bombs behind the last note and all along the sides" which, yes technically that's difficult but gently caress you. Same with two notes shaped like this in the center of your vision: [<][>], yeah stabbing and dragging outwards is difficult but not fun at all. If there are hidden bombs in walls I will immediately exit out and delete. That's the quickest way for me to delete a song.

Also, mappers who make lines of same-colored blocks in a slashing movement swap places are jerks. Block movement is supposed to cue you for positioning (like in vanilla beat saber when red and blue swap), not add useless motion for no good reason. The map should reward coordination, not punish people whose perception works a particular way. It doesn't look good, it looks cheap.

Doctor w-rw-rw- posted:Also, mappers who make lines of same-colored blocks in a slashing movement swap places are jerks. Are you talking about how the blocks move around as they enter your view? Because mappers don't have any control over that; they just say where and when blocks appear and give a global setting for how fast they appear. The game engine does the rest.

Theres some json editing that can be done to change "when" the notes flip over to there final spots. Offset something + bpm + something else. With that said, They will always be on the grid where they were laid down in the editor. Unless a mod like Chromatoggle fucks with things live. Which. Is a thing.

Welp I've come to the realization that beat saber is 99% of my VR play at this point, and since the rift can be had for $330 I went ahead and sold my odyssey+. Should I buy a 3rd lighthouse right away or see if I can get 2 to work in my space without any tracking issues?

You only really need 3 if you play games where you turn around (physically).

Also buy some springs from ace hardware.   To be totally honest. I only got the third because I had the money to burn and when I would go prone in Onward my gun would drift. Everything else worked great on the 2 camera 360 setup. I'd still use Forward Face 2 sensors though for saber. Just sayin, the trackings really decent with 2 regardless, if you just take the time to set it up right.

Enos Cabell posted:The touch kit includes a camera, and only costs $30 more than the camera on its own. So you're basically getting a backup pair of controllers for only $30. With that said, You're going to end up replacing a controller or warrantying one at some point. Zero downtime for 30 bucks is a steal. This also lets you use "ANY" gun stock you want. Mamut for example has you mount poo poo to your controllers. I wouldn't want the magnets on while playing saber and it takes a hot min to take em off. So backup/stock pair is super clutch.
