Having 500 hours of experience now with the tapping playstyle, I've realised that I am in a pretty cool minority of players who is capable of passing most maps (up to around 6.5* rating, not just jump-oriented farm) through this manner.
However I haven't really seen any top players (or just all in general) be highlighted or appreciated for being capable of fully alternate tapping, besides a couple of few -- Bubbleman, FlyingTuna, SiLVia (if you remember that name, you're a legend btw). Badeu is one of the greatest aim prodigies we know, and yet I think it's a crime he isn't best known for having the most accurate tap-alternating in the world. I don't know if it is just a matter of most players not really caring about how players tap, or the fact that the playstyle is indeed a minority and simply not understood fully (e.g. the rhythm sense required to alternate accurately on a variety of maps).
I would like some outsider opinions on players who are capable of this skillset and who push themselves each osu! session to reach tapping-hand perfectionism.
And also share yourself on this post if you ARE a dedicated full alt player, no matter if you're just starting off or a seasoned vet. I'll be sure to give you an "eye-test" by watching one of your replays.
NB: Just for some clarification on why I bring myself into this conversation, here is me passing the 6*-rated Pokemon Medley with 1:1 tap count. I made this play around a month ago IIRC.
