5. the unranked ones :3

Pretty much 50/50

11. Do you like osu!mania?
Definitely

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
A couple of dudes in the FFR community (Staiain, Choofers, LG, Gon, Fullerene) were playing osu!mania and I wanted to try it out.

2. What is your favourite keymode?
I only play 4k, so 4k.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
SDGH, but this varies a lot.

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
Can't quite answer that. I don't play very often, I usually play for a day or two and stop for a month or longer.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
Bangin' Burst is pretty ratchet. Counting unranked maps, April.#02.

Handgluts at 130-150 BPM.

Solo.

I don't really have a favourite osu!mania player, I don't really keep track. I talk to Staiain a lot though so it's probably him by default.

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
Fullerene.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
I mainly play unranked maps.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
No. While I like the fact that it encourages competition due to how accessible the leaderboards are in the game, but the 4K map selection is incredibly limited in the upper echelon of the game, which is what I generally play both in Stepmania and osu!mania. The hardest maps (the likes of Air Raid, One More Lovely 1.5), while they fulfill their purpose of being difficult, are generally not enjoyable to play due to how forced the difficulty is in most maps. DoubleTime does work for a couple of maps, but not many. I would love to see more ranked or unranked hard 4K maps that are hard because the song calls for it (i.e. musically relevant), and not because the mapper intends it to be insanely hard. It doesn't have to follow the intensity of the song precisely, I think AiAe [Wafles' SHD] is a great file; that's mainly because the difficulty isn't overly forced, despite its additional layering. I think that would attract higher-end 4K players a lot more than it does now.

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
staiain's skin was nice

2. What is your favourite keymode?
4k because i'm bad at everything else (i do like 6k and 8k too though)

2. What is your favourite keymode?
4K.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
ZXVB

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
Probably a few weeks worth in total. Timing's still bad, so I probably haven't played enough.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
I guess you mean map? In that case I really like Candy Galy. If it's song choice, April.#02 is probably my favourite.

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
270-350 BPM jumpstream.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
I don't have one.

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
I don't have one.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
Unranked, easily.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
There's still tons of room for improvement personally, but I can probably say that I enjoy the game more than I used to. An integral part of rhythm gaming would be the maps, and while there are some silly maps at the top, most of them are usually playable and not really filled with cheap difficulty a la absurdly fast jacks or unhittable patterning. There are some pretty good very hard maps, despite most being SM converts. The ranked map selection needs work though...

The gameplay is good for what it is. I would like the HitPosition to be modifiable up to the decimal points, I feel that one HitPosition is too high and another is too low, despite having a difference by 1. Noteskin has no note snap by default, but I know it's under works at the moment. I can imagine this game getting really really good with some tinkering here and there, so I'm definitely looking forward to enjoying this game more than I used to.

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
I don't remember... Mostly because I was bored with other games I was playing at the time.

2. What is your favourite keymode?
I like them all the same but am best at 4k.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?

9. Entozer, ExPew. Their mapping styles are awesome!

10. Unranked, because it's harder than the ranked ones.

11. Not really, because Acc is everything in here. Kinda hate it.

It's been about nine months since I did my first response to these questions, thought I should re-do them haha.

1. I was playing regular osu! with a friend, just starting out, and accidentally downloaded a mania map and asked my friend what this weird guitar hero gamemode was. He told me mania and I was hooked. I haven't stopped playing, really. Maybe once :p

2. 4k all the way bb

7. Solo. Multi takes too long and is boring.

8. I like Staiain best.

Yes; it is definitely worth a try, and beats DanceDanceRevolution when it comes to pausing in the middle of the game and skipping song intros.

Why the hate towards hands tho?

Without hands, we wouldn't be able to play osu!mania! (no, soft ddr mats are not an acceptable no hands option. they must at least be metal pads before I accept that as a response)

Why the hate towards hands tho?

The hands give an unfair disadvantage to dance mat players. The ranked charts to "BUTTERFLY (UPSWING MIX)" is an example of containing hands.

My osu!mania beatmaps (uploaded via Google Drive or MediaFire) have no hands, and are made to be dance mat friendly. Even the hardest beatmaps I upload don't have hands.

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
Well, I started with Standard and one day I tried out Mania. Now I only play Mania because Standard really frustrates me with its combo-based scoring system.

2. What is your favourite keymode?
My favorite would be 7k but I still suck at it. 4k would be the keymode I can play best I guess.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?

4k - SDL;

I play Solo most of the time and only play multi once in a month or something.

None.

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?

Well you're probably the only player who seems to take playing mania on a pad seriously to begin with. Also, some ITG charts have hands, so I don't see the problem with including hands when they seem appropriate even on pad oriented charts.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
Well the most maps are unranked sadly, but I hope the future changes that.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
I have fun, but I'm a slow learner and really need to hold myself back to not get frustrated over my slowness q.q

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?

My friends were into it at the time. I started late in the fad but in the end I'm one of the only people left who plays it still. And out of a group of 7 I'm now 2nd best in raw 4k skill.

2. What is your favourite keymode?

It's a tie between 4K, 5K, and 7K.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?

DF JK, SDF JK, and ASDF JKL, respectively.

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)

Around 8 months ago, with very few days where I went without playing.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?

It depends on what the specific criteria is.

For song, it'd be Terekakushi Shinshuki. That voice is just adorable <3
For map, it's really difficult to pick a favorite. I can easily name my least favorite of them all, though- Ray. The map structure is garbage, and unlike the much longer but similar trainwrecks that are World's End Girl's Rondo and BBKKBKK, this one is worth barely any PP at all.

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?

Index streams. The End solidified my love for those, due to the fact that they're simultaneously simple and draining.
Well, that, and playing The End as much as I did means I'm pretty darn good at them now.
Jumpstreams follow in a close second.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?

I mostly play solo. No pressure, just a race against myself.

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?

A lot of the meme-spoutin chat trolls are fun to be around. Eternalie, Konner-, gusto -_- and the like. Soularion was cool too, but he's moved back to Stepmania cause he don't want to play anything but 4K. His loss!

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?

Fullerene-. I love people who accept nothing less than insanely difficult.
Although nowsmart is a bit of an exception there. I look at nowsmart with a bizarre mix of fear and respect.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?

I play both extensively, especially since the pool for my main mode, 4K, is woefully underpopulated in terms of ranked maps at my level (4.75*).

11. Do you like osu!mania?

I wouldn't play almost every day I could have if I didn't like the game.

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?

A friend introduced this to me. It looked fun, although the main reason was because I was confused by osu!standard.

2. What is your favourite keymode?

5K ftw!

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?

SD Space JK

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)

2 years, although I only started playing online like 8 months ago.

that recently ranked song, ginkiha - EOS -infinite edit-

stairs, i'm bad when facing those though.

solo for chasing scoreboard, multiplayer for fun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I see my friends played it
2. 4k & 7k
3. 4k (Z|X|C|V), 7k (S|D|F|<space>|J|K|L)
4. 1 year
5. Camellia as "Bang Riot" - Blastix Riotz, Nizikawa - F.K.S., penoreri - Everlasting Message
6. Trills, and Stairs
7. Solo
8. jhlee0133
9. LNP-, Zan -, F_C, Ichi, Harby, Julie, etc.
10. as long as the map is good
11. Why ask? lolololol

1. I came for standard, hated it, then found that there was a few more modes, namely mania. I thought it was a cool spin off of Guitar Hero, which I played since 2007, and the rest is history.
2. 4k is my favorite, but if given a Guitar Hero controller, I could dominate 5k.
3. Standard DFJK
4. I played my first mania song on like September-December 2014, but actively started playing on like January 2015.
5. My favorite is probably Bangin` Burst novice lvl 9 by Spy because it was the first map I really felt accomplished playing.
6. I like stairs and trills.
7. I like solo b/c you gt infinite retries
8. My favorite player is Staiain, but I like jhlee`s godly plays too.
9. My favorite mapper is Spy because I gained tens of thousands of places thanks to him.
10. I like ranked maps better, but some unranked maps just don`t get the attention they deserve to get ranked.
11. I like it, but the ranked mappool could use some more variety (RANK MOAR STUFF!)

It's been 2 months since I started playing o!m, so I thought I would do this again, considering I'm now a pro!

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
I switched from Guitar Hero to osu! as my go-to game. I knew that there was a 'Guitar Hero gamemode', but I didn't know what it was called. I found out it was osu!mania and now I get to have the best of both worlds.

2. What is your favorite keymode?
4k or 5k. I have yet to encounter 2k or 3k, but they sound alright.
4k. I still love 7k, 6k, and 5k, though.

3. What is the layout of your favorite keymode?
Standard. (DF JK) (DF JKL)
4k = XC ,.
5k = XC M,.
6k = QWE JKL
7k = QWER JKL

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
About a week.
2 months.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
Sedap Malam and Utakata, Ai no Mahoroba are my current favorites.
I love Blue Army and End Time. Those are unranked, though. I don't really have any ranked favorites.
I still like SM and UAnM.

6. What is your favorite type of patterning?
Not sure.
I think stairs. I still don't really know the names of patterns yet, even though I have been playing for 2 months.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
Solo.
Not striked because this is still true. I do sort of like playing multiplier, though. Gives me a chance to try to new maps.

8. Who is your favorite osu!mania player?
I don't know. I just play the game.
Jhlee, Staiain, Etienne, HNC_yk, Tokiiwa, and -Halogen.


9. Who is your favorite osu!mania mapper?
I don't know. I just play the game.
I'm pretty sure it's Spy. There are some others that I've seen very frequently, though.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
I was going to say ranked, but I think I like unranked better. Unranked is just for practicing and it helps me get better so I can play ranked maps and get better accuracy and more pp so I can level up.
I like ranked a little better now. Only because it makes me level up. Unranked maps are usually harder and more fun, though.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
Nope. I absolutely hate it. It's the worst thing I've ever played.
Just joking, stupid question. Of course I do.

Unranked. Every o!m player knows the site ranks such garbage maps lmao

11. Do you like osu!mania?

It's fun it its own way but there's so much wasted potential for the game that it makes me dislike it sometimes.

1. Because it's fun.
Really, it's much better than the other modes where you can easily get frustrated if you miss a circle or some grapes.

2. 4k and 7k (enjoy each in different way, can't say I enjoy which more).
7+1 is good too but I need some help with skinning if I want to play that >.< and too lazy to ask for help.

3. WER space IOP for 7k, ERIO for 4k.
Default too low for me. One row up feels much better.

4. About 6 months.
o!m is my first vsrg.

5. Tough question. There are so many songs that are cool in different ways.

6. I don't know any type of patterns lol XD probably streams and bursts?
