CtB does have rhythm aspects to it. You need to time some very precise dashes with the beat and stuff. It may not be a full rhythm game in the sense of the other game modes, but it still uses rhythm aspects. This actually surprised me when I first picked up the game mode. It has more rhythm aspects than people think. It still isn't a rhythm game in the traditional sense though.

I thought we had all agreed that Taiko = mashing

It's only if you're coming from another rhythm-based games such as StepMania, O2Jam, and many others...Gumpyyy wrote:

for me it's a good place for training before going to the other games..
BTW Taiko/CTB is unique on it's own way...
Taiko is fine but I've been playing mania since 3rd grade.
I just can't find the joy in CTB, sorry.

I've recently tried all 3 of them. Tried Taiko and Mania first because they both could use 4 keys, Mania was overall more fun because I like clicking in a set pattern whereas Taiko seems like you'd have to get a good rhythm of switching fingers before getting comfortable- otherwise it's button mash. CTB wins though because got to go fast I'm able to focus really well while playing it somehow? I just find it more fun tbh.
Mania for me :3
I would go with Mania because it feels like I am playing the piano or something.
I second that notion.Redon wrote:

Does it really feel that way for you? It's nothing like playing an actual piano at all. I play both so I can vouch.PeanutBader wrote:

I started playing CTB 1.5/2 months ago and it's my favorite! It gets really fun later on.
