I'm not sure which forum to add this, so I added it here for some reason. Feel free to move the post to the 'correct' place. Thank you.

So as the title states, I want to take a brief moment to talk about this so called new spinner algorithm that was introduced quite a while ago in an old build.

Ever since then there are old scores that seem impossible to beat (I will edit this post later on to pin point which scores i'm talking about exactly)

But yeah, seems like in the old times I could get major bonuses with spinners alone, giving me a lot of top scores in the old days. But these days, I struggle like hell to beat those old scores. Sometimes the old scores were done with NO MODS at all. Now I find myself SS'ing these songs with 2-3 mods and STILL can't manage to beat it, making it impossible for me to ever improve that scores accuracy. This is usually on [easy] and [normal] maps though.

I know this is NOT a bug. And i'm not even asking for anything really. I'm just wondering what I can do to beat these old scores? I'm quite the perfectionist, and I hate having S's that can easily be SS'able. Just wish I had SS'd them back in the day.

I know I can't ask for a 'delete this score' feature since it will be frowned upon at sight. So i'm lost.

For now all I could find from the top of my head is this old Cruel Angel's Thesis [Easy] Map.

As you can see, it took the #1 player 4 mods to beat my score. I only had 2 on myself. My spinning gave me too much advantage at the time. But now that score is unattainable unless 4 mods are used. And you STILL gotta spin like crazy to manage it.

Report old and suspicious-looking scores here.

He's saying they aren't suspicious because of the old spinner algorithm. He wants to know how to beat those old scores without deleting old scores... I think. :p

If it were possible many of these old scores should simply be recalculated based on replay data + new spinner algorithm. Yes, some people's scores will drop, but since spinning that fast is no longer possible, it would be *fair*.

Yea, and the scores will only be dropped by a very little amount. Sounds fair to me.

Anyways, even if they DO drop, it won't be any different than just about 2 days ago when the ranking modes were seperated, my Accuracy dropped by .30% So dropping was ok for that, should be ok for this too.
