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

3. DFJK, but I find that QWOP works fairly well too. On 5k I use DFJKL (J is special key)

4. About 2+ years ago maybe? Probably went tryhard about 1.5 years ago.

5. As of 3/23/15 (https://osu.ppy.sh/s/264749) (https://osu.ppy.sh/s/242484) (https://osu.ppy.sh/b/540060?m=3) (https://osu.ppy.sh/b/439141?m=3) (https://osu.ppy.sh/b/492841?m=3)

6. Stairs or Streams. But hammers are really satisfying \(@^@)/

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

8. I like Staiain best.

9. My new favorite mapper is probably Ichigaki by far.

10. Ranked more often. I usually train on unrankeds because they're much harder and easier to find good quality maps than ranked at higher levels. :p kek

11. Of course. I wish the community was better at times, but I will always love the game like nothing else. It's played a bigger role in my gaming life than I care to admit most of the time, but I do love the game. I spend lots of time all in the name of self improvement as a player.

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
All I wanted to do is to contribute to the "DanceDanceRevolution to osu!mania" project.

2. What is your favourite keymode?
Mine are 4K and 8K.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
Default is upwards scrolling and x1 (Speed 3).

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
I've been playing for 1 year.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
"DUB-I-DUB" by ME & MY. The Challenge/Insane chart is very cool!

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
As long as if there are NO HANDS (3+ note presses), then I am good.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
I say Solo. If I had a Gamecube-to-PC USB adapter and two dance mats, then it would be cool workout using Co-Op charts and the Co-Op mode.

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
I only like those that don't play beatmaps containing hands.

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
I got no one in mind, since I'm the only one contributing to the "DanceDanceRevolution to osu!mania" project.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
Since my first "DanceDanceRevolution to osu!mania" beatmaps never got ranked on the official osu! website, I would have to say unranked. I upload my beatmaps to Google Drive instead.

11. Do you like osu!mania?

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.

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)

Looking for mods for my mania map Minori Chihara - Kyoukai no Kanata (TV Size).

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.

3. What is the layout of your favurite keymode?
Standard. (DF JK) (DF JKL)

About a week.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
Sedap Malam and Utakata, Ai no Mahoroba are my current favorites.

Not sure.

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

8. Who is your favorite osu!mania player?
I don't know. I just play the game.

9. Who is your favorite osu!mania mapper?
I don't know. I just play the game.

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.

11. Do you like osu!mania?

Nope. I absolutely hate it. It's the worst thing I've ever played.

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.

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.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
7k - ASD[Space]L;'
4k - SDL;

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

Too many to choose from.

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
LNs. Feels really satisfying when you hit them perfectly. My least favorite would have to be jackhammers.

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

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
None.

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
None.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
Unranked. There are just not enough ranked maps.

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.

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
I got frustrated with Osu! STD and wanted something new, plus the keybased rythm system appeals to me more.

2. What is your favourite keymode?
4K because I like fast play, but 7K is the keymode that gives me the most training.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
4K: DF JK
7K: SDF (SPACEBAR) ZUI <- (I have long fingers and my right hand cramps, so I need more space between the spacebar and my other right hand fingers.)

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. 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.

Why not?

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?

A game that I play with a ranking system seemed pretty cool, so I decided to try it out. Also to mess with the community a bit, previously going under the alias 'Staiainfangirl', lololol.

2. What is your favourite keymode?

4k

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?

ZXNM

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

This game specifically, about a year or so. Been playing 4k for around eight years on and off though.

Anything that's fast and doesn't suck, lol.

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?

7. Solo.

8. Any player that are nice and enjoy game to the fullest

9. Lieselotte and Rumia in 7k, Spy and Tidek in 4k.
Damn why did Liese quit ><

10. Both. But mostly ranked as i don't know much unranked maps my level XD

11. I really enjoy it as my first vsrg. But i'll also try other rhythm games in the future. O2Jam and SM maybe?

It's now been 6-8 months. It's crazy how fast time flies. With all of that being said, let's do this again and compare.

ChristianSnow wrote:
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.~~
4k.

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

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
~~About a week.~~
~~2 months.~~
About 8 months. Jesus....

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.
Although I still LOVE the songs I mentioned before, there are now too many favorite songs of mine. I have favorited them all.

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.~~
I'm still not so sure about patterns. All I do is play.

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.
Still true.

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.~~
Staiain and jhlee.

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.~~
I'm really not sure, I don't REALLY pay attention to the mappers unless it's important.

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.~~
Ranked. Unranked maps seem to be unranked for a reason, but some are alright.

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.
Still true. If i didn't like it, I wouldn't play it.

1. I already had experience with that kind of activity (playing piano on a computer keyboard surely is fun)
2. Everything from 4 to 7 keys goes.
3. DFJK, SDFJK, SDFJKL, ASDFJKL, so it goes on. Sometimes I switch to ER78 (numpad), WER78, WER789, QWER789
4. Useless question if you ask for just time I was here. 12 486 plays.
5. Multiple. M2U Magnolia [unranked], Scarlet Rose, Wintersun and so on.
6. Everything but jacks and speed variations.
7. Both, mostly solo.
8. No preference
9. No preference
10. I play everything I like.
11. Of course not, only stupid people play osumania.

11. Do you like osu!mania?

1. One of my brothers played it. Also, a cousin played o2mania.
2. 4K and 6K - I'm learning how to use both thumbs for 5K and 7K but it's taking a while ._.
3. Default; |d|f|j|k| and |s|d|f|j|k|l|
4. Ever since I've started; about two months. I actually thought mania was the default game mode

5. Probably Yooh - snow storm -euphoria-, although Orange Heart - Mousou Katharsis has the most plays because I wanted to SS both difficulties (whilst being bad). goreshit - burn this moment into the retina of my eye is also quite nice (though I can't even complete it without No fail)
6. Don't really like any patterns much more than others
7. Solo; I don't really see a reason to play multi unless I know the other person
8. Don't have a favourite player D:
9. pp breaker
10. Ranked only, unless modding. I've got all the ranked maps and, at my skill level, they offer enough diversity for me to solely play ranked

11. No of course I do, lol

1. I wanted something that was kinda like my Guitar Hero/Rock Band comfort zone -- I knew about osu! since a few years ago, but never actually played until very recently. I actually found out that osu! had a mania mode from a Staiain video.

2. 4k, definitely

3. DF JK

4. Three months (started right after the New Year)

5. Rissyu - uni, The Quick Brown Fox - Big Money, pretty much anything that's been on SDVX (Bangin' Burst in particular)

6. Anything that doesn't involve chord-streaming or too many sustains

7. Solo

8. Halogen, probably

9. Spy, probably

10. Mostly ranked, but I have quite a few weird unranked maps (The Italian Crack Job sticks out as a specific).

11. Duh.

1. I love rhythm games. I played rock band and other various games for 8 years and became one of the top players for the community. But that got boring to me and I discovered osu through a ex-guitar hero player named Tob3GH3. I loved the general idea of osu and got hooked immediately.

2. My most comfortable keymode right now is 4k. I play 2-3.5 star beatmaps.

3. The layout i have right now is df jk

4. I've been following osu! for a while now but I never played till I got my laptop. Ive been playing osumania for about 2 weeks now.

5. my favorite osu song to listen to? probably freedom dive just because its pretty catchy

my favorite map too play is probably Electric "Sister" Bitch

6. I'm really good with stairs. Those are really fun for me.

7. I'm more of a lone wolf for self improvement. I'll probably get into multiplayer when i get a bit better.

8. My favorite Osu player is Tob3Gh3 for introducing me and Staiaind just because hes a God.

9. I've never really paid attention to mappers :/ but the one that I see often is Fullerene.

10. I prefer ranked maps just because I dont have to worry about the mapping to be wrong/ messed up or not.

11. Osumania is bae and I cant wait to see how much I'll improve in the future

Hoiiiii funny i never noticed this thread.
I try it too.

1: I saw the osu!mania World Cup 2014 and there was a REALLY cool song. This one
I wanted to play it so bad so i started with osu!mania and it was really cool so I stayed here.

2: Hard to say, i played only 4K for a very long time but started with all other key modes few month ago and all are really cool!
Depend on the song i would say 4K and 7K

Maybe i should mention that i use Co-Op for 4K (SplitStages)

3: For 4K i use "D F K L" for 7K i use "S D F Space K L Ö".

4: Since August 2014, pretty that time when i started with osu!

5: Like mentioned in 1. It's siromaru + cranky - Conflict (Vocaloid Ver.) <3

6:Fast Bursts! I love to type so fast as i can on the keyboard haha.

7: Depend. I mostly play solo but i also love to play with good friends some multiplayer

8: Oh wow, to be honest, i don't have any favorite mania player. I never really look at score board or at ranking.

9: My favorite osu!mania Mapper.. hmm.. i have some more. __M A S__ Makes REALLY fun maps, i love them. In 4K i really like Spy's Maps, they are pretty cool to play. In 7K i like shionelove's and yoshilove Maps. While i hate in 4K LN's i love them in 7K haha. They map them really good!

10: Both! Mostly i just play songs i really like. But there also really a lot of fun unranked Maps.

11: I love it

Around one and a half year now

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
Mostly charts from Stepmania, but out of the ranked songs we currently have, I really like Hydria's "Dot", aswell as [ S a k u r a ]'s "Worlds End, Girls Rondo", Marirose's "B.B.K.K.B.K.K." and Tidek's "Burn this moment into the retina of my eye".

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
- I was showed the game by someone else, and the game caught my interest. I didn't immediately play the game, though - I started the game once, quit for about 10 months, and then came back to it with the intent of actually staying this time around.

2. What is your favorite keymode?
- Despite being a 4 key main, my favorite keymode is definitely 6 key. Unfortunately, there's not quite as much content out there for 6 key as there is for 7 key. It is what it is, though.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
- I use QWE/789 for 6-key; giving that separation on the hands makes things a little easier for me to handle overall.

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
- I think it's been close to 2 years now? I've got scores on my YouTube channel that are from mid-2014, but I think I was playing before then as well.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
- I'm not entirely sure how to answer this, because I don't ever like to attribute a single piece of content as something that is my favorite - however, I will say that I definitely love Flexo123's PLVCK [Extra]. It's hardly the best map in terms of accuracy/structure, but it's a hyper-bursty map that I almost always warm up with and I've come to like it more and more.

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
- Jumpstreaming for days.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
- I prefer playing multiplayer than I do solo; meeting new players is always a fun thing and I enjoy talking to those who might not have had the chance to talk to me before. The problem that I eventually come across with multiplayer revolves around players not having certain maps and having an incredibly slow connection, making the gameplay experience subpar. Even with that, I still enjoy it.

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
- There's no way I'm going to be able to answer this. I am fond of too many players to want to just name one.

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
- Same as #8; there's no way that I'm going to be able to answer this, as there are a number of mappers that I am fond of - in fact, mapping is something that I really enjoy seeing from players, because I care more about a mapper's effort to make their own interpretation of a song compared to something that is "high quality", which is always argued upon anyway.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
- I prefer unranked maps, because there's more freedom. Some of the craziest SV/LN maps will never be ranked because of our current ranking criteria standards.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
- Yes, I do, and I don't see myself leaving anytime soon.
