I haven't posted in forever, but I will say that I think it's pretty funny to see how many people delete those background files. When I found I could do that a few years ago, I felt like the sickest hacker. peppy still as smart as ever, making it mandatory to get feedback.

Same here, but I don't think the old SD will come back. ;w;

They'll just say SD is meant to kill players instantly (so as to fit the name "Sudden Death")
And they'll say it's the same case in standard & CTB, and so it should be like that :<

But still, I missed the old SD
Because for now, I can't play maps with no worries about unwanted score
Yes I hate A in taiko & CTB (Standard is just too hard for me not to A)
Now I have to press esc just before the song ends, and in the past I don't have to
And when the new SD is on, it simply doesn't allow me to miss the very first note to disable score submission, as it'll stop the gameplay

I know many will disagree how I think about the rating & new SD, but well, I'm just here to state my own opinion :<

So much ^this. I prefer the old SD for taiko aswell.

Happy 5th year anniversary osu!

Whoaaaaa Hi TPS! I don't even know how long it's been.
The old SD was slower than hitting esc/retry, which made it pointless. Now it's actually a decent FC mode.
If you don't want scores to submit, log out.

what this guy said.

Actually I think both old SD and esc/retry have similar speed ( SD -> Wait the diff stops/retry vs esc/retry ), so this doesn't really bother me
I used old SD as an "S/SS only" mode, which is already "a decent FC mode" for me
Logging out means I can't even submit a good score, and it causes too many inconvenience ( eg unable to PM my friends, can't be spectated . . . )

What I really care is that the new SD simply doesn't allow players to go on playing after miss
I just don't really understand why it has to be an instant-kill
Can't it be like in MP, where players can continue even if they miss ?
Some may say solo/CTB are like that too, and so should taiko. But I'll ask "why not the opposite ? ( All modes become not instant-kill )"
I would appreciate if anyone can give me answer to my question above

If your fingers are already on the keyboard, it's not a very big time saver at all... just esc, have cursor over retry with your other hand, Z/X, then space to skip the intro and you're playing again. The only thing an auto-restart really accomplishes is maybe preventing disorientation from having to manually go through those steps.

This would really be about what people want from sudden death. Do people want it strictly as a FC-grinding tool or do they just care about the aspect of tension it adds to the gameplay?

Cool, the game is growing higher and higher WoW =D

Found out that if i play for some time on SD and THEN miss a note - it'll be like the good ol' times' SD

Wow... i Like Perfect SD ...

Perfect SD and autorestart, now i can get 50,000 Plays achivement automatically wahahhahahah

SS or fail... well that what i basically did manually when i tried to do a map with more mods which i already did on SS (reducing SS to S is not an option for me)
And automatic retry for Perfect mode is a pure win this pause while you're clicking retry can really throw you of the rhythm =)

need of AutoRetry ^^

nice update
