Beatmap Listing » ARForest - Altros

(Copy-pasted from comment)

Please enjoy this wonderful music by ARForest & background video by inukoro!
More details of the artist can be found in the Beatmap's Description.

I was really drawn in by the piano in the song and unique 8-bit feel background video so I decided to chart the song and give it a go for ranking~

Thanks to everyone that helped me out in this beatmap, I am really thankful for your hard work and precious time! It wouldn't have been possible without your help. (Detailed in 'Thanks' box in Description)

And thank you If you've decided to check this map out! I highly encourage you to give the hitsound & background video a try!

Columns: 1/2/3/4

General
Using 1 & 4 for kicks and cymbals, 3 & 2 for claps, and hit-hats, etc on any columns
Following pitch relevancy unless compromises had to be made.
Patterning wise, I mainly choose to focus more on the percussion sounds than the keyboard sounds.
I try to represent the keyboard sounds during kiai section while still sticking to '1 & 4 for kicks and cymbals, 3 & 2 for claps' foundation.
Ending kiai focuses on Kick, Clap and Piano sound, not much on the hit-hats. This is to try to emphaise the piano sound.

Normal
Focusing mainly on just the kicks & claps and occasionally some piano, synth, others sound.
1/2 rhythm, occasionally 1/4 for kicks or claps
No chords

Hyper
Focusing mainly on kicks, claps, cymbal and occasionally some piano, synth, others sound.
Inclusion of jumps on cymbals and some piano sounds

Another
Focusing mainly on kicks, claps, cymbal and occasionally some piano, synth, others sound.
Not layering all the hit-hats/snares.
Claps are now chords on 12 or 34
Cymbals will be chords regardless of having a kick or not.
