Do not use solid black combo colors, slider border color or hitcircleoverlay. Solid black is impossible to see with 100% background dim. Dark hues (below ~50 luminosity) should be avoided for asier approach circle readability on low background dim. Using "Do not use" more or less indicates something as a rule rather than a guideline. This confused me a bit, allowed in some cases or not? Personally, I prefer it being a rule, but I doubt anyone would really do this nowadays.

We'll look into that. It is supposed to be a guideline, mainly because of the slider border / hitcircleoverlay and dark hues part.

Avoid silencing both slider ticks and slider slides together. Low volume or blending sound samples are similarly discouraged when inaudible. If a slider tick does not snap to a distinct sound, it can be inaudible. Just clarifying, this is now a guideline instead of a rule if I understand correctly? Always thought myself that no feedback on sliders at all kind of destroys the purpose of a slider, but it seems some mappers really prefer to have both silences in some cases.

maybe also define what a kickslider is, as there was some confusion previously what it actually is due to confliting terms of wiki / community view lolol



Good to see that things are being done now, finally.

does not seem accurate, it has nothing to do with snapping imo, but about whether the distance been recognized as a jump and have a followpoint on it if it is not a NC jump

Will look into it.

I don't see how antijumps are inherently different in "hightlighting certain sounds".

Or differently said, I can't quite grasp why you would include a guideline for the usage of the gameplayelement "jump" when you wouldn't include a guideline for the gameplayelement "antijump".

Will look into it.

It is supposed to be a guideline. It shouldn't be done for a whole map probably, but for some objects (like long sliders on very calm songs) it might be fine to do so, for example on this map https://osu.ppy.sh/b/148404 on the highest difficulty.Kicksliders have been intentionally left out because of the confusion they create. We defined 'short repeated sliders' and 'buzz sliders' and these will be used for the whole Ranking Criteria consistently.
