obviously you have to retry a lot of times to pass the spammed parts, so my statement does relate to this.
how many people do you think would go research what circles to hit to keep yourself alive? a lot of players didn't even bother putting much dedication for a no mod play because
1. it's an approved map, score didn't matter, lots of approved maps have low passes/fc
2. it's tag4, a lot of people won't play maps they don't like and honestly playing it single player is crap. I'm sure tag4 maps would have a lot more passes if they actually rewarded a player for a score, but even with pp system you'd still get 0 pp since you need a high accuracy to gain a good amount of pp
3. it's an old style map, with small circles and low ar and mapped "djpop style". a lot of people i talked to despise djpop maps.
4. you can gain a higher score with a mod on. i'm sure plenty people could do kyoto dt or bloody night dt but they have old scores that they can't override with the mod.
Also i'll try to get a pass during this week if i can get on some more; all i have to do is go in editor and practice hitting the 2nd note and i'll live.
I've seen quite a few top players try to pass and they spent much longer than me trying. It's not because people don't want to waste time trying, it's because they can't/couldn't. I can name 3 great players who tried so I can only imagine how many others have tried that no one is aware of.
My pass took an entirely different approach to the map, there is NO WAY you will get through by just spamming "some of the notes".
If you must know, I made my own custom skin for the map, I spent about 30 minutes trying to learn the 2nd spam part (which is 1/4, the first set are only 1/3) and then I spent about 20 minutes trying. I passed the 1/4 spam and failed after and thought I had no chance of doing it again but alas the next day I passed the 1/4 spam in 2 or 3 tries and luckily had learnt the pattern at the end because it was so frustrating.
The only reason that replay is good is because I brought new tactics to the table for the map and succeeded. I like to call it tagtics, ways of passing maps without aiming to hit every note.
tl;dr utage is hard I am the best #1 player ever and gl passing a map that some of the best player's can't pass.
