Actually I'm pretty sure we do have 32 countries with at least 3 regular players. I've seen some players not participating because : "We don't have enough players in my country" even though I could find at least 2 others players who plays every days and has more than 10k PC. But some people just tend to think that if you can't FC every ranked map then you're not capable of playing in the TWC. Unfortunately, this is not giving a good image of taiko community because it has grown since last year but we have the impression it haven't just because of that.- Yuuka Niya - wrote:

nomod is so hard
Nuclear Fusion is INCREDIBLY EASY except for one 1/6 part. Parts like it, are not hard, but just make it inconsistent. Things like bbn are actually hard and kind of inconsistently mapped, possibly because it's not very good, but that's just my opinion. A lot of times, I struggle with hard patterns on slower maps. It's just the nature of the kddk playstyle. ddkk or kkdd don't find it hard, since they don't have to swap hands and play it backwards. I guess I am seriously just stupid though, thanks for teliing me.
Don't hurt me please.
Like, go look at least years team and this years teams. Maybe like 12 hardcore, could have won it all teams last year, compared to the maybe 6-7 this year. It is mostly the fault of not letting us have A and B teams or mixed country teams. We lost out on so many quality players.
I was even telling Ono it might be better if he made the maps easier this year. Howeverrrrrrrr another reason he has done this is perhaps because of the format, which is the format of getting rid of a team each week and having us all play over the weekend against everyone in each pool.
It makes sense but it also doesn't. I think this was handled fairly-well, considering.
btw congratz \:D/
Great games everybody!
baka noone from our team blame you for not being as good as we are
stop crying we still love you no matter how you play :3

I'm not gonna speak for Loctav because I don't know the whole situation, but did you guys follow the rules for registering? This happened before where some people didn't send a PM to Loctav after registering like is required in the rules.

I calculated how much countries we could gather just with players I already know, and I could gather more than 20 countries, and I wasn't that far from 32. Yes the issue is players not wanting to join and some not even being asked because they are not known in the taiko community (ie. people think they don't exist).
About Argentina not being in pending countries, I guess it's because we couldn't gather 32 teams, so they decided to cut off the number of participant to 20, and if you sent your application after 20 teams then maybe you're not on the list. But this is just an assumption, we should wait for the official answer
EDIT : After reading the wiki page, it looks like this is the case. We now have 4 groups of 5 teams and #1-#4 of each group ascend to the knock-out stage. If we could gather more than 20 countries and having to reject some, maybe we can try to gather 24 teams, make 6 groups of 4 teams, make #1-#2 ascend + the 4 best #3. As we have to play the group stage in one single week-end, it will be easier for both part to make groups of 4 teams ?

Every team underruns the same check. If you want to change your roster, do it now. Your team hasn't been checked yet, so you can still exchange some members. But hurry up. Whenever the check started, changes are invalid.

Doublepost: I know that you have a different "culture of forum postings", but I decided to remove any post that weren't contributive to any discussion at all. Every post that lacks of a basic content got removed and will be removed in future.
I think the top8 (A-Z)Canada France Germany HongKong Japan Korea Taiwan and [?]
Still only 4 validated teams ? Will the checks be totally performed until Saturday ?
can we spec the TWC through osu! or from another website?
I'm sure that you will be able to watch a stream on twitch and spec the players individually.Trash Boat wrote:

Is there a beatmap pack for the songs? That'd be nice.
Fun maps, but pretty easy set tbh
Owens and Calamity Fortune should have been free mod imo, they are really awesome on both HR and HD (and of similar difficulty with each mod)
Manima ni = <3, but also a bit too easy for a tiebreaker maybe

It is supposed to be easy, Luna. It is the first round, after all. I agree with Luna otherwise, tho. Very fun!

Good mappool indeed, I like those HR picks (And omg Burn in the nomod bracket :3)
And I agree with Luna that the tiebreaker might be too easy.

When it's ready (most likely today)
You would pick some shit with a stream all like kkkdkkk fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
also your map difficulty is so silly, Nuclear Fusion is like 100x more easy than the bbn map ;_;
pls fix or am I just really stupid and bad

Ironically enough I find Nuclear Fusion to be the hardest of the maps due to the 1/6 making it the hardest to FC.
Nuclear Fusion is the hardest to Fc while Burn is the hardest to acc imho.

all what i can say is that this year is much harder than previous :о
these are all too hard for me :[
All of the maps should have been put into the HR bracket imo :X

...But if one were to be made up, it'd probably be to close the gap between acc fights and actually skill, which is a bad reason on its own.

With the lack of new players the general "skill ceiling" keeps rising for each year that goes by and what was considered considered "hard" a few years ago doesn't come close to what's considered "hard" today. In every gamemode, all maps are in general harder than they used to be.OzzyOzrock wrote:

I personally think you are all underestimating what people can do, even if we don't know them enough. I also think there are more new players that we think, but as they don't show up in forums nor in chat, people just assume they just don't exist. We'll see how it turns out this week-end, but I think it's a good thing to spice up the difficulty each year.
tl;dr : I think.

So, here's a story.
In the US v Poland game, at one point we picked Tabidachi no Shuen or whatever, and we were like 'yeah we can all do well on that song'. So we're in, HR and all, and at 1:30 of the song, a norton pop-up comes up covering my screen. I have not missed yet, and there was no break until way later so I had to play with this pop-up above me. It was like playing with HR + HDx2, I think I missed one 2 notes until around ~2:51 of the song, when I was able to get rid of it, when I realized that it didn't close, rather now, I was out of osu! and on the pop-up, so no hits were registering for that bit.
