-My pony map's in there just because I'm a dick.
-Stamp would have been in, but was dropped because it's the newest map. It'll be in the next one.
-Yes, there's a Bad Apple!! remix map in here.This is because it's a Bad Apple!! map that doesn't make me want to shoot myself.
-DxS recommended the vast majority of these songs. This is because I asked him to. However, I still tested everything but the Larto map.
-cat's dance is in there just because A) the song's amazing and B) That BG <3

K, so, the Easy Series. What it basically is, is a series of easy beatmaps. Each has an Easy, a Normal, and a Hard... and the Easy is of good quality and the Hard rounds to 4.5 stars or less on the song select screen. Why? So we have some easier Hards. It took me a while until I could do 5 star Hards, getting to 4 and 4.5 star hards was much quicker. I was stuck on those for a while.

As for the Easy? The Easy's here are not only to entertain newbs, they're here to train them.

Easy difficulties that are good and not retarded about it, Hard should be easy. Preferably rounds to 4.5 stars or less, but if it's easy and rounds to 5 I'll be gentle.

So... any takers? All mappers welcome, even if you suck at making Easy difficulties!.

Just me, I won't be ing because I can only map hards and insanes well. But I think the guidelines are a little to strict/not too clear.

They're guidelines. Not rules. So, you don't have to follow them.

EDIT: Except for minimum circle size and Hard rounding to 4.5 or less.

EDIT2: Made a revision anyways. Now there are only two guidelines, and it's changed to Easy recommendations, since that's all they are.

EDIT3: Easier Easy added as a contrast example. Also mapped a bit differently. Yes, I pulled both out of my ass. Sue me.

EDIT4: Edited in some examples of 4.74 or less Hards.

I still think Turn the Beat Around is pretty easy, as thats how i intended it.

But meh :|

PS- Remmy Normals are designed for this purpose lol

Then it shouldn't be too hard for you to make another map like that, eh? If you do make one, make it neater than Turn the Beat Around please. >.>; So many slider overlaps... (Talking about the Easy difficulty there)

Come on, you can do it. ~ Just an Easy, Normal, and Hard of 4.74 or less (rounding to 4.5 on the song select screen). You already know how to make Easy difficulties - just increase the spacing a bit, reduce the overlapping ugliness, don't do those 1/2 sliders, and voila. Make a Normal like that (maybe neater, though), make a reasonable Hard, and... bam!

EDIT: Heck, you don't even have to increase the spacing. Can you pretty please make one of the easy Easy difficulties, please? *insert puppy dog eyes here*

Hey TtBA is an old map, and my first. Don't hate.

I never hated on it. My first map sucked more. Turn the Beat Around was fun. I was encouraging you to make another map like it. ;P

in and mapping Caramelldansen - I think we should aim for songs that many people will like to encourage them in multiplayer etc.

I think my X - Tunnel Scene beatmap follows most of the things on the easier difficulties (although it has a Insane instead for a Hard.... )
I try to make the easier difficulties actually easy and i will this series in the future

How about you throw me some songs to map. Most of the stuff I listen to is completely unmappable.

Oh, this is sweet! I take interest. May I participate?

I might start a new map by the next week when school is supposed to start.




EDIT: You know what? Never mind.

Wake Up is one of the easiest beatmaps I've ever made:

So, yes.

strager: Oh just ask your brother. ;P

@Behonkiss: Oh, goodie, this is right up your alley, then. I'm mainly looking for recent maps, because of the lack of recent maps with Easy difficulties that are either A. actually Easy or B. actually somewhat entertaining.

Xgor: I did in fact look at it, and that's a bit what I'm looking for. In that case I would treat the Easy as having halved the BPM without actually halving the BPM, so that would be fine. Reminded me of Makes No Difference. Might be able to sneak it in there, actually, since you correctly labeled the Insane.

um...

I might offer my help to make a non-sucky banner, just tell me in which style/how exactly do you want it.

EDIT: Oh, so I got this out of boredom.

I think it's good, but eh, feels like it's missing something...
But meh, whatever, let's keep the rest in PMs, shall we?

Is that easy enough? (Not ranked yet)

It's .58 stars. The Hard is 4.11. I'll check it later, but it should be good.

One thing i noticed is that shorer maps get more stars then longer maps, and i think sometimes that some easy 5 star maps should be accepted.(although this is only a suggestion)

It looks nice anyways. Can I use it? Much better than mine.

Well of course. I was thinking you wanted me to add something else, that's why I said the PM thing, but you're free to use it like that

X - Tunnel Scene is ranked now

Great. Let me start a list of "included Ranked maps" and "maps in Pending".

EDIT: Also changed guidelines. Basically 4.5 star Hard, can have an Insane instead, and don't be retarded. Easy is also trimmed down.

La Roux - Cover My Eyes ranked and ready for the Easy Series!

Added to list.

This is easy. But maybe TOO easy... It's too uber easy in such a way that insane doesn't even reach 4 stars (that's supposed to be Normal-Hard-Insane, but Ouendan-styled screws diffs. up ) Jumps are a bit evident on Insane though

And you still haven't replaced the banner. I feel sad :[

4.8 is fine, close enough. Link, please?

Also, checking out the other one now. Added Zekira's to Ranked list

These packs will most likely be 5-7 maps each, BTW. Due to internet connections and the like.

@Gens: Forgot about that. Can you it to imageshack or somewhere, please?

EDIT: And Virtual Insanity should do it. I just gotta look at it first.

EDIT2: Sorry, Luigihann made a prettier banner. D:

Done.

http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr8/ ... 1253324389

EDIT: Oh, awesome <.<
The way you implemented both is fine I guess.

You don't need to feel bad if you trash mine though

Gens is in sig, Luigihann's is at the top of the thread and the "official" one.

Thanks to the both of you.

http://osu-ppy-sh.cinevost.com/s/9320

This map still has a while to go, but I'm pretty sure it will meet the requirements

Also, could you label the maps that are ranked/pending instead of just posting the links?

Still not sure if it qualifies.

It does. It's the Tough Stuff of that pack. :)

Hmm, the first pack should be up soon at this rate. Nice amount of variety so far to boot. Thanks guys!

Just a question!
How many beatmaps will it be in every pack? (Nevermind i saw it now )
Anyway my current maps don't fit this series to well but i will try to make my next map for for this series.
Also it's good if we don't have too much of one genre in the series!

It looks like the only anime song that'll be in the first pack will be Itsudemo Issho ni (Reset's from a video game). Nice variety so far, so I don't think it'll be an issue.

The first pack should be up soon after Itsudemo Issho ni gets ranked, which should be soon.

Dropping my Ghost Gulping map.
It has a good and fun Easy, a Normal that "teaches" kids 1/4 snap, and a fun Hard. Those with a sense of stupidity dare to challenge the great Blubb himself in Invincible

Added. Thanks. ~

Two of mine, both ranked:

OH GOD NO -_-

But in any case, notice how the current list has 3 Okami maps already

A very easy and very pretty map by me (currently pending).

http://osu-ppy-sh.cinevost.com/s/9172

Easy is 0.78 stars and Hard is 4.5.

Good enough?

My hard is up to 4.55, still OK?

That rounds to 4.5, so yes...

No, it rounds to 4.6. Get your maths right.

No, it rounds to 4.5 stars. Try checking the menu sometime.

Lol, you had a clear miscommunication there.
