Hi there,
I have never been active on the forums and as such I may be sort of a "noob" but oh well.
I have been playing the Taiko mod for Osu! and I don't understand how the scoring actually works. I say this because I constantly get higher percentages and such but I end up have a lower ranking on most songs. This unfortunately leaves me confused.
For example, I'm playing the Osu! beatmap for "Welcome to the N.H.K (Shishido Rumi) - Fushigi Purupuru Pururin Rin!" on the Puru~ difficulty on the Taiko mode. I just recently received 100% accuracy on this song but I find I am only ranked 12th with 122,982 points. While, the first place person, Seshiri, has an accuracy of 86.67% and a score of 190,068 points. No mods of any kind have been used, I checked. This is rather confusing.
Another thing I don't understand is the replays you can watch from other ranking people. On the same song, same difficulty, same everything, I watch Seshiri's 1st place replay of ""Welcome to the N.H.K (Shishido Rumi) - Fushigi Purupuru Pururin Rin!". I watch until the end of the replay and right before the screen fades to the results screen his score is: ~100,200 points. But then at the results screen his score is magically 190,608 points. I really don't understand this.
I don't mind not having any sort of ranking, I would simply like to understand how the scoring works and what is at work here.
