I always have, as I recently got an A rank, that was scored below my previous B rank, thanks to scoring by combo. On the A rank my mistakes were spread out, where as my B rank I just botched a section near the end. Thanks to combo, A ranks can be worth less than a B. It's counter intuitive. Now accuracy is the way to go imo.

Don't you think combos are stupid on songs?

Combo or Accuracy for scoring?
Total votes: 129
Combo>Accuracy
your inexperience is showing
combo would be stupid if it wasn't about clicking circles and it was more like mania [where combo is not considered for scoring], but jumps exist and consistency is important, imagine if you could miss all the jumps on remote control but still get more PP than someone who hit all the jumps but had 2% less accuracy? the game would be awful.
It's also somewhat true for streams but it mostly applies to jumps. i.e if you're getting high accuracy on freedom dive four dimensions you're definitely getting good combos too, whereas it's much easier to get low combos and high acc on less streamy maps.

For the most part I agree an accuracy based score system is better.
However for standard I think it's the other way around.

Riince, that helps.
Thank you, yeah I'm kinda inexperienced. I can beat hards, but I don't know what a jump is... Is that where you hit a note then the next "jumps" over on the other side of the screen? I do know what streams are though.

Combo is important for competitive considerations, but accuracy is more important in general.
accuracy is already as important as combo
becuz bad accuracy = no pp = very sad

Combo being such an important factor in scoring does lead to some pretty dumb edge cases, like how on a play with a single miss your score varies massively just based on how far from the middle of the song the one miss was. But it's also true that consistency is probably the hardest thing to do in osu and plays should be scored appropriately for this. Personally I kind of like what Project Diva F does, where losing a combo doesn't tank your score nearly as much but you get large bonuses for FCing the hardest parts of the song.
This brings into question, why even care about your scores? Just git gud and have fun playing the game. It's not inappropriate for only your best scores to be considered for judging. PP isn't everything yo.
I think combo is the most important thing.
combo is more important, but it is way too punishing to break a combo
a 70% acc with full combo shouldn't be worth more than a 99.9% acc with two half combos due to one break
a 70% acc with full combo shouldn't be worth more than a 99.9% acc with two half combos due to one break
I prefer combos. It's way more satisfying getting an FC with 96% on a really long song than breaking 3 times but having 99% acc. A ranking based on accuracy would be too forgiving. Focus on combo first, worry about accuracy later.
if you have a huge combo you usually have a good accuracy lol

Yes it is stupid because you can override your score with one that gives less pp yet very difficult to beat because most misses were near the start. That's why I don't submit any more FCs below 98%.

Accuracy is useless without combo, and vice versa. Although it's combo>accuracy.

Burn this OP
Where is option "Both"?
Combo and Acc are both important.
There is literany no reason to tryhard any song when you don't have combo.
This game could be boring without combo and a little frustration when you do "xx" repeats becouse you got sliderbreak.
Playing only for acc without worring about your movement, coordination, consistency?

Both are important and the value of each depends on the map: like It's jumpiness, streaminess , speediness as well as its cs, od, ar... and so on.
But just from personal preference, if I had to choose one, I'd say accuracy>combo

some people find getting pp fun
but i find the kinds of maps that have to be played to get pp very unfun

if u accurate u get combos
more accuracy = more combos
more accuracy = more combos
you can sac accuracy for combo though by spamming.
common tactic tbh

Nothing overly impressive about getting an FC with bad accuracy. They go hand in hand, but I think accuracy is more important and should be weighed far more than combo.
i bash keys tho not circles so \:D/

And just to nail the coffin on this thread,
This belongs in Surveys, as it is a very generalized, emotional and possibly loaded, question.

This is gameplay related, and I'm pretty sure people care a little about it. At least enough not to shitpost in it, which means it's probably not as bad as half of the threads going on.The Gambler wrote:
