is it? I have noticed that it got a lot of hate, but those posts are years old. I've only been playing seriously the past 20 days so I don't know much about osu in general.
Should I switch to etterna or something? I actually switched to this because I thought this was more mainstream, you know?
I don't really care about horrible SR (who cares anyway) on some maps or peepee (not anymore now that I got ""10k"". pp farmed a bit for this today), I genuinely just wanna get better.

So, is it still bad as it used to be? And why? Good or bad, what are its flaws?





tbh i think my argument to anything would be idc i just wnna get gud (solid arguemnt bro) but tell me your thoughts plz dang man i used to be part of another forum but i just kinda left and havent joined any other. were good times. i wish i could have something liek that again. but i probably would be so worried if people didnt like me again

Also can someone list every game "like" mania because I haven't found a list anywhere. It would be heavily appreciated :^)

No modes are bad as a whole in osu!, some people just love hating things.

dont listen to people who tell you one game is better than the other, its 100% preferance. i play osu!mania instead of etterna/quaver/rcs because i enjoy it most over these rhythm games, even if some of them have some featues mania might lack on.

the main complaints osu!mania has are:

  1. lack of good ranked maps
  2. bad star rating/pp algorithm
  3. doesnt stop mashing effectively
  4. mandatory svs
  5. no quick way to change rates
  6. lack of work done by developers, as well as lack of developer's knowledge on this gamemode
all of these issues but the last one are there for a place or have workarounds; if theres not a lot of good ranked maps, there's a ton of incredible and fun unranked maps. you dont need to rely on sr/pp to tell you how easy something is. mandatory svs and the lack of anti-mashing introduce a lot of unique game mechanics that are not as easy to execute in other rhythm games, like manip, etc. you can use a rate changer to change rates.

what is still probably the biggest issue in mania is the lack of developer involvement with this particular gamemode. it might bother some serious players but it doesnt stop you from being able to enjoy the game.

just play whatever game you enjoy most :)

FNF is the absolute GOAT among all mania games / VSRGs.

I wouldn't say it's the greatest (the game still needs some more work imo), rather it's like the face of VSRGs since from there it introduces people to more games like this or Etterna/Quaver/etc., just like how Robeats used to be before FNF takes over.

I was completely joking. In fact, I haven't played it that much. For some reason, FNF is very popular but I also saw a lot of VSRG players memeing about it so I tried it out and then, well... it's not something I'll personally find that enjoyable (just my opinion).

Sure, there are some issues with o!m's gameplay (which was said above a few posts back) that other games can solve but I'd still say that o!m is a good middle ground between everything.

i personally think fnf is fun, but for different reasons than osu!mania/etterna/etc. people who dont like fnf because it's not aimed competitively like osu!mania or etterna are missing the appeal of fnf

Having played between o!m and Etterna, I feel like o!m is more forgiving when it comes to acc (especially the fact that you can button mash and somehow get MAX300s), while Etterna is more on the strict side (at least on J4).

Feel like while both rating algorithms are complete shit (not much you can really do about that), Etterna's might be slightly more accurate.

There's really no 'best game' to play, just play what you like to play !

Don't think button mashing is gonna give you an acc better than 97% unless you are playing chords and just blindly time the presses. Etterna likes to destroy you for mashing while osu! let's you do it but you then need to set your bar for what is good acc higher.
