and on the contrary, its super fun in many dump charts for experienced players. things are much more fun to play when you can hit them. im not talking about just "bad" lazy charting, but even overtly difficult things. but probably leave those to more experienced charters than actually know what theyre doing lol
Undermapping is my least favorite thing in FNF. When I change difficulties, I don't ask for undermapping, I ask for easier charting, like removing or putting less gimmick notes, or something that required multiple notes to be pressed at once, becomes one note or at least fewer. Undermapping ruins the flow of a song. You legitimately _feel_ like there should be a note here or there, when there just literally isn't one, it _feels wrong._ It _almost_ makes a song harder for more skilled players because you instinctively want to press a note at that point, and at the same time it doesn't teach new players to get better because they're used to there not being as many notes.
This is why I tell my friends who enjoy FNF that aren't as good as me to always play hard mode. Because most devs don't consider the weaker players and just remove notes instead of making the chart easier!
imma be honest the problem with undercharting is mostly in the music like most vsrgs can get away with only placing notes at every 1/1 quantization while passing it off as being easy but fnf is ties to its vocals
Gods, I hate it when I'm playing an easier rhythm game chart and for some reason the charter decided the notes that you can't hear are the only notes that should be mapped
2:56 i dont see anything wrong with this one, it just makes it more fun (and harder) overcharting is fine as long as the note placement still makes some sense, like in the minute above
The Overchart one isn’t bad at all, that looks pretty normal for a mid-level keyboard chart. Overcharting (as long as it’s not too excessive) is usually only considered bad on pad charts, it’s mostly fine for keyboard charts.
The long holds arent particularly that long tbh. But imo most important than which pattern to use is to have a good structure/justification to back those up. Same with streams, jacks and under/over charting
I’d say I’m more in the intermediate level than anything. I’m not close to becoming “good” but I’m confident enough of my skills that I can do some songs
@@goatjwp3860 If the map you are playing is undercharted, you should definitely change the map. It will not help you learn with that incredibly fucked up accuracy giving you a 76%, it’s called a rhythm game for a reason. You will obviously not learn how to go with the rhythm immediately (I have been playing for around a year and still can’t really do it) however rhythm is incredibly important for accuracy unless your playing something unsynced or a game with really easy judgement *cough* fnf *cough*
well obviously the only reason why there are people who are really good at mixed-patterns and hard beatmaps r cuz the beatmaps they play are just straight up overmapped BUT the only reason why A FEW of them are RANKED and LOVED is because the maps have readable and a good mix of patterns that perfectly syncs with the song static and beat at each section of the song. all though, most of the singular overmapped difficulty maps are GRAVEYARDED. after all, i can say that overmapping (especially on mania) is half good, half not. if u wanna make an overmapped (singular or more difficulties) beatmaps then i suggest u to have a good mix between different patterns that syncs with different stages of the song and if u wanna add extra notes then i suggest u to put them where the extra note beats (usually kicks and drum beats) to make it more like a remix (which adds extra beats to the original song). if u think my suggestions could be wrong then you should probably ask professional mappers (e.g.: sotarks, and more…) and professional players who does do mapping and have them RANKED or LOVED (e.g.: jakads, and more…). that’s all i had to say. like if u agree, dislike if u don’t agree. (this outro may seems similar to some yter’s outros lol ngl)
if there are anyone who doesn’t know about the osuniverse still reading this, why???? u don’t understand what this is about then why are u keep reading this?????????
Overmapped actually brings difficulty into a song that would normally be a easy 1 star map (the same goes for undermapping. I don't understand how, nor why but whenever i try to play undermapped maps i can't concentrate / fall asleep and fail)
I also add WARP SPEEDS ARROWS. Fast arrows are OK in some cases, but not in the whole song. We could change the speed but it is tedious to switch speed every time we want to play a specific song.
"Excessive rolls" I don't know what that means but all I see is Glitcher from FNF VS Hex because Friday Night Funkin' is the first rhythm game to keep me from playing once then never again
I assume this could work for Clone Hero 1:41 - For Whom the Bells Told In GH Metallica (This is unavoidable in this case since the Guitar is relativity boring for most of the singing part) 2:55 Stricken and Before I Forget in GH3 3:34 - I feel like that applies to "The Way it Ends" in GH3 3:42 - Raining Blood in GH Smash Hits 3:55 Raining Blood again but the GH3 version (Mosh 1)
well... i just got in stepmania few months ago and this is exactly what happened to me XD especiallly the absurd difficulty spike, pointless stream and empty map
Since I've been charting for a while and experience a lot of charting styles from pump, osu, fnf, ddr and smx, here's what I can say about each: Really long hold notes: That's D2R Freeze Special. Also, kinda subjective but the example given does show the point. Make sure your holds have some reason to exist, including those at the end. Pointless stream: That's pump charting in a nutshell for a lot of charts (Wedding Crashers, Inefficient Boss Without Power, Bad Apple, Rolling Christmas, and pro players know how many more). Can be tastefully implemented in the more musically intense parts of a chart if you want some extra difficulty. Wrong BPM: I've done this shit before and unless we're talking about live recorded music or BPMs used with consideration to quantization, avoid doing this. Even for my old charts where I didn't know what BPM tappers and sync tempo was, I can't forgive myself for trying to give songs a higher BPM than they do because FOR FUCKS SAKE DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE BPM TO SOMETHING THAT ISN'T 128? (Don't take the caps lock too seriously, it's an inside joke where every pop song is a 12X BPM song) Excessive rolls: I thought you meant the actual roll mechanic where instead of tapping once on a long note, you need to keep tapping on it or else it lets go. Regardless, this should apply to any pattern (and a segment also related to this). I understand thematics within a chart (such as AIR and FREEZE specials being focused on jumps and holds respectively), but too much of one thing really does not help. Some places where repeated patterns were used tastefully were in Nageki no ki CSP and Lachryma CSP, and in both cases we're talking about short segments. Boring map: Here we keep touching on what's said earlier. Even on lower difficulties the patterns should at least stimulate the brain to learn something new. Endless LR streams should be left for testing the sync; they should end at some point. Unfinished: I can forgive this if you're working on like 50+ songs in different packs and suck at organization, or there's a good reason to keep an empty space somewhere. Empty spaces are not indicative of a bad chart, but if it's really easy to tell the chart was not yet finished, then there's a problem. Over-Finished: Boi, I remember doing this as a child with MAXX Unlimited on the PS2. As much as it can be memeable, I rarely see a purpose for letting a chart continue past the song's duration. Undermapped: This is very dependent on context, because lower difficulties *must* be undermapped because they're supposed to be easier than the highest difficulty and help players learn the game. The key to a lower difficulty chart uses a bit of level design and you have a lot of freedom with what you want to do with them. I've sometimes used lower difficulties to introduce very high level mechanics because most of the times a 16th triplet at 280BPM will be found on the upper echelon of charts, not really the lower ones. Same with stepjumps at any BPM higher than 120BPM 16ths, the faster the chart, the rarer they are at lower difficulties. Overmapped: I tend to do this even nowadays for higher difficulty charts, but my approach is different, or at least more nuanced. It's really down to perception, and sometimes I overchart depending on what I see in the music. Overcharting can also be used with some level design elements if you want to lead up to another chart. Think of how Eon Break CSP in DDR preceded Breaking The Future in DDR. While the former is not overcharted, it is a strong example of how you can use one thing to help players scale up to the next incoming chart. There's also a few examples of footswitches in DDR X3 and 2013 for the sake of helping people learn the pattern... and then came Scarlet Police to make sure this is meta. Too Many Jacks: Bi Challenge and FNF Quads: Would make sense if this was 5-key or more, but I rarely see a point to quad streams. Jump drills make more sense than this. Absurd difficulty spike: I can argue this can be omnipresent in any rhythm game incarnated in any song. ITG stamina charts do this all the time, DDR has a few charts like Valkyrie Dimension and Pluto Relinquish and I think they have their own point (and Breaking the fucking future CSP), osu I've seen this happen in various charts since it heavily relies on utilizing the song and most songs have calmer parts and more note heavy parts. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: 1949 D28's ending. Empty map: If you have a theme with a groove radar or really any indication of a chart's contents, this is easy to spot and most likely an oversight cause I don't think a lot of people would intentionally leave a chart empty aside of memeable purposes. Also, how the hell did Stepmania crash from that XD Anyways, I've had my time but since I view charting as an art, these ~~except for syncing your chart correctly~~ are not rules, but rather my perspective on charting, and what the video shows is mostly dedicated to 4-key while my perspective expands to pad and keyboard play. Time again has shown that my views are subjective since not everyone agrees with them... and I tend to like charts that are more challenging and infamous among a community, especially in DDR, which is my specialty. Do what you like and you'll find like-minded people that will like your charts. *posts this so it can be buried in the comments section and never be seen*
I feel like it’s always hard to fine songs that are charted well. I don’t mind playing things that are outside of my difficulty range because it lets me practice and get better but I still want it to be good. I want all of the notes to make sense at least a little bit And I feel like a lot of things are just way over charted
This is more of a personal grievance, but I don't like maps/charts with multiple jumps/doubles/trips/etc one after another that don't correspond with a bass or kick. It throws my brain for a curve ball, which sucks because all of my favorite songs have advanced charts that I can't clear because I'm not dextrous enough nor do I have the sensory prowess to process audio and visual at that speed. Great video!

Anyways, I've had my time but since I view charting as an art, these ~~except for syncing your chart correctly~~ are not rules, but rather my perspective on charting, and what the video shows is mostly dedicated to 4-key while my perspective expands to pad and keyboard play. Time again has shown that my views are subjective since not everyone agrees with them... and I tend to like charts that are more challenging and infamous among a community, especially in DDR, which is my specialty. Do what you like and you'll find like-minded people that will like your charts.

That overmapped looks okay to me lol
The overcharted one is a bop i want the full version
I feel like it’s always hard to fine songs that are charted well. I don’t mind playing things that are outside of my difficulty range because it lets me practice and get better but I still want it to be good. I want all of the notes to make sense at least a little bit And I feel like a lot of things are just way over charted
The difficulty spike is Robeats in a nutshell
No?
Yes
alternate title:
"what to put in your StepMania map
I actually enjoy overcharted maps, I don't know why other people don't!
me too ig
It can only be accepted if there's also a good chart of it (or something else idk)
The overmapped sounds good and I would play it.
Good twist ending
This is more of a personal grievance, but I don't like maps/charts with multiple jumps/doubles/trips/etc one after another that don't correspond with a bass or kick. It throws my brain for a curve ball, which sucks because all of my favorite songs have advanced charts that I can't clear because I'm not dextrous enough nor do I have the sensory prowess to process audio and visual at that speed. Great video!
That was the longest 5 minutes of my life.
3:36 that's why WASD and arrow keys exist
in just about every 4k game but fnf there's one key to one arrow
@@dihydrogen some mods like fat blunt can only have one key for each arrow, not like the original one that has WASD and arrowkeys. If you use DFJK, it can be hard to hit those notes.
I wonder what’s that intro.
btw nice vid
If youre asking for the intro music, its "Sand Canyon 1" from Kirby's Dreamland 3
alao thank you
@@SilverStar555 Thanks a lot. I always forget the name of that song.
The overcharted one is legit not as bad as the actual chart for this song I've seen in osu mania
Fnf charters: WRITE EVERYTHING IN HERE DOWN THEN USE IT AS A CHART
"jacks"
five second finnian at that moment:
"I'm milking this"
also making it hard isn't bad
Not really sure what's wrong with a pointlessly long stream, but everything else I do agree.
Imma be honest, excessive rolls for me as a pad player for ITG/DDR could be useful for me in training and as a warmup
2:55 Mario Paint D-ANOTHER with its ~465 BPM dumps: *I am inside your walls now*
(Fixed BPM because I realized it uses 1/6 snap)
PADORU Level AAAAAAAAAAA: 1 million notes a second
Sillyfangirl: its perfect
My video buffered during the really long hold note part and I thought that was part of the joke
Unnecessary streams are kinda fun tho ngl
Depends on the map style
Honestly I like overmapped songs, it’s satisfying
