I'm also against converted maps being counted in the ranking even if I play them a lot, there are much of them that are a challenge to play without having a really stupid conversion like the Dragonforce maps. But even if the system is perfectly accurate for taiko diff, maps like this : http://osu.ppy.sh/s/33052 would count way too much and would break the skill thing that I think we are searching in the new ranking.Oh good point.. now that i'm thinking on it, it would be plausible to say that. *Thumbs up*
If the ranking is meant to tell who are the best players of taiko, converted maps have no sense to be present if only some of them are "good" imo.
Well, maybe Tom can figure out a good way to do this.. But for now I agree with you.
the fact that you memorize a map doesn't make it unimpressive (though peppy seems to think so now anyways)IT IS impressive, but FL wasn't made to be competitive I think, it is just to show you can memorize stuff
also up to 150 to 160 bpm is entirely plausible to sightread at 200 combo depending on the density, perhaps even more
