Oh, and I'd like to add that patterns with even numbers of notes tend to be a lot harder to play than those with an odd number of notes.

Every pattern that is a combination of xxy/xyy patterns is easier to play than patterns of a xyx/xxx combination.

I have a hard time FCing Sakura Sunrise on DT due to dk kd, but if it were dk dk I'd easily do it.
Moreover, HD and HR are equal, DT increases OD massively. HD players are having more problems on lower BPMs (due to low scrolling speed), whereas HR players are having more problems with higher BPM (due to HR causing a too fast scrolling speed). DT doesnt change scrollspeed based on SV but on BPM, but it decreases the hitwindow massively. HD+HR is impossible to read. FL+HD is memorization (you wont see ANY note at all), FL+HR is also memorization, but objectively easier (since you can at least see the notes, even if its just a short while).
Basically I see it like (vision based mods. HD/HR/FL only affect vision): (HD = HR) < HD+HR < FL < FL+HR < FL+HD < FL+HD+HR
DT is an extra factor, increasing OD and BPM and therefore should be calculated into the difficulty where note density calculations happen.
HR affects OD as well. Else, well you'd see many more HRDT scores on average BPM songs (that is 110-140 bpm range no more)
HRHD is not impossible to read, it's very tough and playable at a very limited range !
FL+HD+anything is "memorization", FL+HR is also memorization (except when BPM gets abusively low) as you have a ridiculous reading timespan.
I agree with you here.capeseverywhere wrote:
So, one thing I have to say about the taiko vs. converted argument.
If this is going to be a proper difficulty rating system, it shouldn't weight certain taiko maps based on whether they are converted or not, but on how difficult they are. Put your stance of taiko vs. converted away, because we are trying to sort them as whole, not two separate things. Whether it's full of 1/8 spam like https://osu.ppy.sh/p/beatmap?b=107875&m=1 , or complex patterns like most taiko maps, it's still gotta weigh as if it's still one mode which it is.

I'm in agreement with not including converted maps or weighing them FAR less than taiko specific maps.
They are still readable (4:3) just like how 16:9 is. At least for me though. HRHD is much easier to manage than pure memorization just like HDFL, but you shouldn't say FL should be nerfed, since the hugest enemy FL players usually face is accuracy than the patterns itself, (also remember there's no OD change at all, and to be honest I am always amazed at people who can HRHDFL a map with over 97% accuracy) I still find HD easier than HR, maybe it's because I'm more used to HD. I have something on DT, where as long as the BPM is over <inserts BPM here, 140 for me>, extra pp should be given. I can't stand slow maps, anything below 140BPM, and I'd rather use DT with them, even with a lesser accuracy. And as for my standpoint,Nashmun wrote:
I do not agree with your comment on HDHR @Gezo, it's only readable if you play with a widescreen resolution.
DT < HR = HD < FLAs for coverted taiko vs. taiko only maps, I'd say give converted maps way lesser weights than taiko only maps. As skills increase, you can purely hit for taiko-only maps for pp instead of ranking on converted maps, as they are way easier to get ranks with. You can even get to the Top 50 even with a C rank.
I like what Tom94 says here.Tom94 wrote:
Converted vs. Taiko-specific
I plan to weight converted maps just as much as Taiko-specific maps and present you all with a list of beatmaps together with their respective difficulty. If it ends up working well I don't see a reason to exclude converted maps. If it won't work they won't be included (or by a small margin).
dddkkkddkkdkdkkkkdddkkdddkkkkkdkdkdkdddkdkdkkkdkdk = ddd kkk ddkk dkd kkkk ddd kk ddd kkkkk dkdkdk ddd kdkd kkk dkdkYou can't just say that streams are nothing more than a combination of these patterns and only marginally harder than the added value of all of them.
I play full alternate and I encourage all other players to learn full alt so you won't get any problems with hand switching. While patterns are a difficulty based on a person playing and his style, it is still not that much of a factor compared to SV(Speed of your eyes), OD(Precision of your tapping), BPM(Speed of your hands), Length of a pattern(Your stamina), Length of a song(Your stamina) and mods which increase or decrease the difficulty.Luna wrote:

If you split it this way, you need to keep in mind that hand switches occurr. Assuming you start the stream on your right hand, that equates to:
That's a LOT more complicated than you make it sound.
Yes but no, each player has it own way of dividing them. I differentiate them in a totally different manner than you and EBAWER. But I do agree with both of you that patterns shouldn't be taken in consideration for long stream, because one pattern that seems easy for a players is hard for another and vice versa.OnosakiHito wrote:
Hm. I have to agree with EBAWER123 post. I never thought in this way. That's interesting.
Luna, he is right I think. For example: ddd kkk d is nothing else than dddkkkd. You play it in the same way. Just with the difference, having a gap between a pattern.
Example:
ddkkdkddkd ≈ dd kk dkd dkd
kdkkdkkdk ≈ kdk kdk kdk
ddkkddkdk ≈ ddk kdd kdk
When alternaiting, you play it in the same way. One pattern just has a gap or not, that's the difference. And I think he is right with his opinion, that there shouldn't be a value for certain patterns. That was one of our biggest problems before, but in the way he mentioned it, this problem would be solved. Especially because the BPM would define what is harder or not(E.g.: BPM 240 ddddkkkkd > BPM 150 dk kd dk kd d (?)).
@WemadeFOX-solo: See it as proto-typ. It will change later for sure.
This is the way it SHOULD be. The old way was stupid as hell because if you weren't around when the mapset was ranked, you weren't going to get #1 because you KNOW there's gonna be one player who will 100% DTHD / DT / HR / HD the song. Just because they're the first person to do it doesn't mean they should get more points for it as BOTH tied plays took equal amount of skill to perform.- - - - - wrote:

for mod, this is so hot to the correct answer imo.OnosakiHito wrote:

Doubletime
The slower the song, the less pp you gain.
The faster the song, the more pp you gain.
Hidden
The slower the song, the more pp you gain because, you have to remember more notes for some periode of time.

HardRock
The slower the song, the less pp you gain because, density becomes higher and notes are less clustered. Easier readable.
The faster the song, the more pp you gain because, the density becomes really high and hard to read.
Flashlight
Should be disabled or give no points. Too often there was a problem with this mod.
Most people do not play it and it has been often abused (HD+FL+HR). That's my opinion.
Of course, we have to take care of OD and SV here.
well, some people actually have fun through FL. It gives players with lesser raw skill (considering legit ones in this case) an opportunity to compete evenly with higher raw skill, non-FL players (although memorization itself is already a skill imo; only some people can actually do it in fewer tries than anyone else/do hardcore, non-repetitive stuffs. Take baka_baka_Koishi, for example. Regardless, it's not really raw, but still). Although I haven't tried it at all, I think it's NOT impossible to actually train your reflexes with FL, but then again it's much more tedious to train than with other mods, thus making people not go through it. Just my opinion.WemadeFOX-solo wrote:

THIS. I didn't train my accuracy, deserving me a lower rank; but trying mod combinations that other people (or, to say the most, anyone) don't/can't (talking about individual song-wise, not overall) clearly helped me raise a lot.EBAWER123 wrote:
The whole ranking is about becoming better, not hiding in the corner and playing only in your comfort zone. Playing higher BPM, increasing your stamina, your reading skills, trying new mods, increasing your accuracy; striving to be better - isn't this the whole point of having a higher rank than someone else?

yes, since this thing itself is obviously subjective.LunaticP wrote:

1. But then the game will be basically accuracy-oriented instead of skill-oriented.- Yuuka Niya - wrote:
Something I want to say:
① OD of course higher OD means higher pp
②mod I think DT>HR=HD>FL of course. Or you can just let FL≈0.(HR+HD) should not be more than( HR)+(HD).So is HDFL and HRFL and HDHRFL
③of course Taiko only maps far more than converted maps.From pp now I think 3 times is not enough.Maybe it should be 5 timers or more.
④The difficulty of the map itself. I think this is the most important.There are many points.
(1)BPM this BPM is the REAL BPM but not what the mapper give us. For example, the big black should be calculated as 180BPM but not 360.
(2)Change of the colors. I only have a theory of calculate the difficulty of a stream.I'm trying to translate it to English.
(3)Rhythm change. 1/6+1/4 is harder than 1/4 only of course.
(4)Note density. I think this one needn't be explained.
(5)Star rate. That's really means nothing in Taiko. So many wrong examples.
if you have any questions about what I say u can ask here or just PM me.
well, I'm actually a 4:3 fullscreen player, but I like playing HR on that reso (and just a friendly reminder: utterly EVERYONE can adjust the reso like I did without having more than ONE monitor). Yeah, the "half a note" thing is really bugging, and people wouldn't even try to adjust their monitor's brightness/contrast/both for that. My (own) suggestion is to increase the visibility by a bit (not large enough to make Taiko scoreboards look like STD's), although we don't know if that will ever be implemented.Nashmun wrote:
But you're an extra widescreen player, the area where you can actually see the notes is way higher than others players. Seeing only half a note IS NOT playable at all. As long as HDHR isn't fixed and playable for everyone, there is still a big issue with that mod.
About FLHD, yes we do have some legit players, but it's too easy to DS and the majority of the FLHD scores are DS. Do you prefer to advantage the non-legit plays just to reward the minority of legit plays ?
