I tend to think that Flashlight mod never existed.
Well in all seriousness I actually respect FL players a lot.[CSGA]Ar3sgice wrote:

Some people (like me) can't actually use DT on harder maps, which is why I used FL mod because I'm pretty good at memorizing anyway.bomber34 wrote:
It is much easier to do DT with anything combined like HR/HD than anything with FL involved.
For this, I can't help but to agree with this though, which is kinda depressing.bomber34 wrote:
Most people seem to hate FL, because it is the easiest mod to cheat with in any way.

They have good memory and attention to detail, being careful not to make careless mistakes, they work hard for their FL FC's.
Especially people like azuraer who manage to stay at the top using this mod even though their play style is greatly disadvantageous. (hint: mouse only big big yeahXD)

From my point of view, FLHD plays generally have more scores than most DTHD plays. I think that's because FL players tend to get higher accuracy compared to DT players.Glass wrote:
because FL HD is way too time-consuming compared to DT HD, AND you get similar scores
He argues that the extra time spent to learn FL over DT isn't worth that small increase in score due to accuracy.Frizz925 wrote:

I disagree really, Flashlight is by far harder than doubletime on most beatmaps.darkmiz wrote:
I believe Flashlight score multiplier should be changed to lower than doubletime. Lots of people use FL to beat Cookiezi's DT scores. And they get more PP with better accuracy.
True, but there are some players who prefers getting high scores on single beatmap rather than chasing for a whole bunch of Ranked scores (and that pretty much explains who I am).those wrote:

Regarding this, I do notice that cheaters who tampered osu! game internally could get banned pretty soon as it can be detected (as claimed by peppy). I'm more concerned about some cheaters who uses hardware-based cheat method (e.g: input splitters for FL mod. I don't even know how this looked like, but some said so), because it's not detectable. Hence there's no proof that the said player is cheating.kriers wrote:
There are hackers in every mod, and I wish the admins the best of luck to catch these losers.
Fixed. To be honest, this is the main reason I'm struggling on certain maps with high combos. But I have a strange habit of "getting things done", which means once I already memorized half-way, I will try to complete it anyway.XGeneral2000 wrote:
When I try FL, I usually remember generally how a pattern will go, but I don't remember exactly where the notes are, so I'm bound to miss one by a fewmillimeterspixels eventually.
