In Skylish's defense, the original full-length Ishukan track is absolutely fucked as far as timing goes as well, so there's no error on his part from attempting to approximate it. We just need to use the "splice" method to reset the bpm before major verses or places where it begins to drift in this case, as the drift seems to be very inconsistent even across the source material. Some weird production stuff going on there.

Did Skylish make the cut himself or was a TV-size cut made by someone else? Because the cut may have exasterbated the timing issues in the full length song.

Besides that, because the original track has timing issues, Is Skylish necessarily wrong in his strange 3/16 timing if the source material has correspondingly terrible timing?

Regardless I think the culmination of all the timing issues with the song ACCIDENTALLY abuse the pp system. Yes it is a clear abuse of the pp system but it isn't intentional by anyone involved.

timing is a happy thing

@BPM: To me, pishifat's timing (not the one Raiden posted) seems mostly better than Skylish's, I still don't think it's 100% perfect as a few beats still sounds slightly late to me, but they seem more neglegible than a few beats sounding more early in Skylish's.

@snapping: Even with Skylish's timing (which is earlier than pishi's in pmuch every spot) around half the vocals or more would sound late to me if they were snapped to 1/6 too, so I find 3/16 to be more accurate on every level. 1/6 can work perfectly fine as simplification (so don't tell Pho to redo everything in their map lol), but if Skylish wants it to be more precise I'm completely on their side.
Of course I'm not a Taiko-person and didn't really know how broken your pp-system is until now, so that aspect isn't for me to judge really, though I'd personally find it weird to avoid accuracy just for the sake of formulas that might be changed any time(?).

now to cut myself. φ(^ω^*)ノ✂

I prefer to flow the drums because some song's vocal have a little bit early so that when it could sound clearly when drum hits.

Quick reply to everything as what you guys mentioned WAS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED A LOT IN TAIKO WORLD.

tl;dr Nothing is changed now. Here's the compiled timing stuff .osz https://puu.sh/xcnLk/c474a4615e.osz

@Epher

It is very disappointing for anyone who DQ/unrank a map without proper investigation or concrete proof. You mentioned NO WORDS about my own timing's accuracy and its fitness to the music itself. Your (other modders' as well) strongest arguement is just: 1/6 fits the musical theory and basically the majority (99.99%) of swing-tempo music should share this common sense. Repeatedly to say this every single time when whoever say that 1/6 is correct: This music IS OUGHT TO BE 1/6, but it is NOT 1/6 (check the content below). The most impt point is that: I would not have this going for ranked if I was not even sure whether my own timing and snappings are correct, and 99.99% of the modders show less respect to my work and effort given there and start blaming for wrong snappings and BPMs without their own tries, outputs, and proper judges on my timing.

If anyone who does not check the whole spread, you should look the shortlist below before you start typing anything:

> There's 12 ms difference between 1/6 (3/18) and 3/16 snaps, mentioned before when I replied to Nardo.

> BPM is not constant BPM=108 judged by two timing programme by me and Gezo in the previous DQ stage already. (You can try BPM=108 and scroll to the last few seconds, you can notice the timing is off)

> I tried splicing the sections with BPM=108 and I find that the notes there are not as consistent as my own version.

> At THE VERY VERY VERY BEGINNING STAGE, I testplayed Pho's Ishukan and I had already figured that something went wrong with snappings. There were some delays on the vocal and instrumental parts. With enough testing (including using only 1/6, mixing 1/6+3/16, mixing 1/4+3/16, using only 3/16, using only 3/16+5/16), I got my answer: the one you see right now. (To whom may blame me for mapping PP, go check your ears before you even think of it since this is an extreme serious insult to a mapper, not only me.)

Mapping something OUGHT TO BE RIGHT TO FIT COMMON SENSES but IT ACTUALLY GOES AGAINST THE MUSIC is not acceptable for me. 3/16 is technically not hard to play which is a well compromised option already.

** Having a map with decent timed setting UNRANK/DQ is extremely disgusting WHEN the reason behind is that: 3/16 is weird and it is not accepted by the general so it is not fine. I mean seriously, did you check my own settings there? Was that wrong? Was that inaccurate? Was that unrankable? Was that off?

In case you think that mappers should follow the common sense rather than following the music, and unless the BPM or snappings are changed, the map would not be back in QF section, I would rather have it graved since this is my baseline when no one can prove me wrong.

@ Raiden/ Pishi

Thanks for your inputs! I checked there and this was done in my mapping process already as mentioned above. The swinging rhythm should be consistently 'irregular', i.e. the no. of red timing point is 1 and the snapping stuff could be solved outside the STREOTYPED 1/6 max. grid.

I have to agree that offset=568 is better than 562 (mine), it is better indeed (also worked in my case of BPM=107.96). Sadly to say, snappings are still 3/16, no change at all.

[]

In conclusion, 3/16 hitting accurately causes more or less problem in game play but 1/6 does create a delayed feeling in every swinging rhythms there no matter if you can feel that, I can. Nothing is changed.
Alchyr
random input

playing the map, it doesn't feel noticably off.

The only real issue is that the taiko star rating system results in extreme inflation when objects are snapped weirdly.
Is there a reason that this can't be changed?

idk, I read Ephemeral's post and it's like... did he even play the map?
Samuraiwarm
Wait, what?! If ranked maps can be disqualified, then the other old, bad Taiko maps at current standards should be unranked as well. I played and FC'ed the Inner Oni one this map and I don't really feel anything wrong at all, just my fault of not catching the song tempo correctly. It might sound fine if you try 1/6, but actually it would be too fast if you try listen at 25%, 50% or even 75% if you have good ears. Basicry, it's too fast on the highlighted red da dada dada dada etc.

It's the matter between

1.) keeping the map sounds right, even though it isn't conventional, and who the heck cares about "unconventional 3/16"? It's just equivalent to 3/4 with 1/4 of the note length in 1 measure (room divider), and 3/4 is well known as "Waltz", conventional enough.
2.) changing the map to 1/6, so that it won't have any problems. I would rather not submit the map if knowing that several people aren't ok with the 1/6 map. And if it's also about avoiding the overrated difficulty, it's not even the mapper's fault at all. And why is star difficulty calculation based on something like time signature? Shouldn't the difficulty *independent* on the whatever the time signature is? The system should look at how the rhythm repetition instead...? Just take a grain of photon for my opinion on star diff system.
DeletedUser_1981781
I was not going to post anymore in this thread but it seems like many posters here are forgetting the real meaning about a map being ranked.

"Ranked" doesn't mean "your map is cool so we will make it official xD"; instead, it means "we'll add a scoreboard to your map in order for players compare their skills".

That's what the pp system is, the most accurate way the developers found to make a fair calculation of players skills. Therefore, when the word "RANKED" comes in play, the way it helps this system to calculate players skills is the most important thing to have on account, even if failing at this purpose is or not the mapper's fault.

Star Rating system is not accurate and needs to be fixed? Yes. Still that is not enough reason to let the pp system to be broke.
Others pointed out that are other overweighted maps... Do they make a difference of 1.5 stars? I don't think so, that's the main concern about this map

Mappers should take that on account, they are making a notechart for an already established game system. That means the mapper can do as much as experimental maps as they like, but they most probably are not going to be suitable for the game.

I think this should be understandable enough.

the pp system is mostly broken because the star rating system is broke. the only reason this is a pp map in its current state is because it's 5.63* and 7.88* with DT. there wouldn't even be a discussion on this if star rating made sense for this type of snapping.

ARGENTINE DREAM wrote:

there are plenty of ranked maps that play at a much lower star rating, but have one or two difficult spots that raise the star rating extremely high. this is true in both standard and taiko. i'll point out a few recent examples:

https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1330403 - this is a nearly 6 minute map, if you remove three streams in the middle of the map then you have a 5 minute map that is 4.32*. the entire map is 6.2*, but if you can play a few difficult streams, even with a couple misses, you're getting extreme amounts of pp for a 4.32* map.

https://osu.ppy.sh/b/690886 - another 6+ minute map, if you remove a total of 15 notes in the 1/8 doubles section, making them single notes instead, the star rating drops from 7.08* to 5.97*. and 1/8 doubles at that speed aren't hard to play, even though they're kinda easy to shitmiss on. it's basically a free star rating increase and thus a free pp increase.

the only difference between this map and the two i mentioned above are that those maps have the star rating increased by sections that are difficult, and this map just has star rating increased due to the awkward snapping, the map isn't technically any harder on 3/16 than 1/6. it should be easier on 3/16 because the doubles are slower and farther apart on 3/16 than on 1/6.

You mean: "the main reason of the pp system being broken is the SR calculation". Yes, that doesn't mean the PP system itself is broken by the most part because a vast majority of maps work well according to both SR and PP.

Catgirl wrote:

There would... Didn't you read the rest of the thread? The concerns about the snapping started in the modding stage. Even if SR worked well with this kind of snapping, the music theory backing up the fact this shouldn't be mapped this way would still exist and there's people that's gonna point it out.

This map is also a good point of debate for QATs to discuss about osu! being a game about music or osu! being a game about trying to press hitcircles in exact milisecond points over a sound playing in the background. So I think you shouldn't really try to minimize what's going on here, because it is actually a really important matter.

Here the SR reflects the difficulty of the song, you know, that section in the middle is actually part of the song. If the HP is set correctly, you could probably fail the song just by missing notes at that section. Players whose limit is 4.3 stars wouldn't get a decent score.

I've heard about flams giving extra pp, but still, flams are resources that are pretty much used in drumming (and in the original TnT), also there's the difficulty on being consistent over them... Probably still too much SR boost.
In this map feel like some of them are placed correctly, but there's that section with a lot of them that could have been better represented by big notes. Still this shouldn't be that much of an issue on maps like this, that are meant for 6 stars players.

As far as I know, extra pp boost is also a bonus for having played a long map, which probably is understandable and makes sense. Probably the devs are going to take a lot of stuff on account for the next time they modify SR calculation. I don't have a formal opinion on this specific point.

Do you really think that "only difference" is just a little difference? Comparing these maps to Ishukan Communication is just biased.

Catgirl wrote:

Because the calculation works over musical notation, not over "space length/ms distance" and other kind of stuff which is more mathematical than musical.
In the practice, there are no significant gamplay changes if you fit the grid to 1/6 (or 1/12 - I don't remember if there were any 1/4 in this map) the map plays the same at normal speed for most players. This is inconceivable for Skylish whose claims are this is a song "out of common sense" and therefore decided on keeping the division snap unchanged regardless it is rankable or not.

The input of the osu!team was needed on the matter and I'm pretty sure they are working to make osu! better. In fact I think every input made here will help make osu! better.

I only half-agree with this and I'll go point by point, though the first third of this is actually true: pp was meant to make a fair ranking. However, the problem isn't its result, but the combination of Star Rating, OD, length (in NOTECOUNT and not duration), mods and everything else playing towards the final result.
And this is where it falls off.

Star Rating system is not accurate and needs to be fixed? Yes. Still that is not enough reason to let the pp system to be broke.
Everyone's been yelling about this for more time than you'd think! There are many examples of maps that have been overrated while other have been underrated - snapping plays a huge part in this, and star rating is the main reason why pp is so broken: it is absolutely overrating doubles, 24+16th complex streams, patterns that comes in packs of 3 like ddk ddk ddk...., but fast stamina maps have their SR ridiculously low for how hard they are. Case in point: compare The Limit Does Not Exist [Limit Break] (7.50 stars, 260 BPM with huge deathstreams) and Last Fortune (pocotan remix) [Inner Oni] (7.56 stars, 176 BPM with 24+16ths). Nearly everything goes in favour of the latter map: more notes, more stars; but lower OD gives a lower acuracy bonus. It did not stop players from getting HDDTFCs on it, while TLDNE probably still does not have >20 nomod FCs.

Mappers should take that on account
They should not take something that broken into account. Those who think SR has to be taken into account are lying to themselves. There are people who are abusing it, it's their problem; but the honest ones who just want to make a good map and can't get that ranked because the automated difficulty calculator is extremely broken are the ones that lose. There are instances of maps where the Oni is deemed easier than its lower difficulties, because its lower difficulties uses different patterns that are processed as "harder". Anything containing doubles will be shot up by it. Same goes for an innocent ddk ddk ddk.

Others pointed out that are other overweighted maps... Do they make a difference of 1.5 stars? I don't think so
I think so. I'll be talking about Last Fortune again, as the map without any single 1/6 only is 5.15. a 2.41 star difference. The 24+16ths aren't even that hard as it isn't awkwardly handswapping.

a vast majority of maps work well according to both SR and PP.
A vast majority of maps being pretty much anything that doesn't go out of the ordinary. Of course this will work, because all other existing cases are ridiculous. 360 BPM with 1/4? Boom, 7.65 stars. 178 BPM with a lot of 24+16ths streams? Boom, 9.29 stars. See the problem...?


Now let's actually talk about the map eh? If you want to discuss pp please do it here: t/181852 - hopefully this will wake up more people...

About the map:

Ephemeral
Is there any particular reason why the whole-bpm splice timing wasn't applied? I practically wrote an essay on why low interval snaps and non-whole bpms are a terrible idea, and in any conceivable future where I'd be willing to compromise on the snap would be in a universe where the timing is at least approximated to sections instead of allowed to drift 3ms across the length of the track, as stated earlier.

Hey, as a player, I felt nothing wrong while playing. The map is pretty easy even for a casual player, so you can just look at the notes if you're having troubling feeling out 3/16. This doesn't speak for any mods, however, but mods shouldn't apply when ranking a map.

I think we all agree pp shouldn't be a reason to dq, so I won't even talk about that.

As a mapper, I think the 3/16 is also aight, it fits the music. I've seen maps ranked this year that are pretty far off the perceived downbeat, but everyone splashes water when the sr rises, talkin about 2 ms this, arrow vortex that.

Also I've come across songs that have similar kind of drift, specifically from Aphex Twin. Dunno if it's just his music style that calls for the 200.08 bpm in Mt Saint Michel + St Michaels Mount but it fits and is weird as hell.

You'll need to explain what you mean, or I can't actively consider your opinion as meaning much in this particular case.
HomieLove
I'm not a timing expert at all but to my ears the current timing sounds clean enough and the 3/16 snaps sound accurate for the most part. There are some notes that are noticeably late (00:06:855 (12) - 00:18:803 (13) - 00:32:420 (4) - 00:50:482 (5) - in Inner Oni caught my eye) but I think it's okay to keep snapping consistent for the purpose of not confusing players, especially when anything else is snapped as accurately as possible.
That said, I'm completely on Skylish's side concerning the timing / snapping. (I still don't get why you put ravioli in tags though lol)

We were always talking about mappiong and ranking criteria. The thread you linked there is pretty useful and everyone should check it out.
Even though I already had a little chat with you by PM, I really want to state here that I never defended the current SR calculation system or anything, I just think that you can't keep on doing things that completely destroy the purpose of the ranking system just hoping that they someday will be fixed... If you told me "hey, they gonna fix SR for the next month" then probably this wouldn't be that much of a problem. That goes more as "the way to do things" than the current system or the mapping instead.

Unmei Muma wrote:

If they wanted to be as precise as they claim shouldn't they snap it on 5/32?, that's way more accurate. That's one of the reasons the "righteous of using 3/16" doesn't even make 100% sense.
