For a Rank you need an FC (or at least a high Combo), for the FC you need the speed. So why the hell be bitchy about 2-3% Accuracy and sacrifice a potential Rank? Of course depends if you want the Score or the Accuracy. :/
Same thing the other way round: If you FC but get a low accuracy you might not get the Rank. But srsly guys... at long 230+ BPM Streams (only parts where you
really need DoubleTapping) there probably aren't more than 10 FCs. And those usually got a way worse accuracy. Ever tried streaming Mad Machine normally? I
bet you get an even
worse accuracy than with DoubleTapping as you will be getting waaaay more 100s and 50s.
(Well, if your name is jesse1412 or whoever can stream 270 BPM ignore this)
If these Techniques are 'Shortcuts' then what's wrong about using them? If you want to improve other techniques you can just play them instead...
It's clear for me: Trade accuracy for an FC or don't. That's everyone's own decision; no need to flame.
Ohh and btw.
@ about 240+ BPM Doubletapping
doesn't even yield 100s if done correctly, just in case you wanna keep the high accuracy.
(Of course depends on OD... but I can get 99.XX% and nearly FC on
http://osu.ppy.sh/s/32883 . Could I without DoubleTapping? No, both accuracy and combo would be way worse.)
