The proposed change is pretty straightforward, for the longest time we've treated it as an unspoken rule but adding it to the RC would give more clarity to new mappers.

The proposal is about specifying that a finisher at the end of a 1/4 pattern should come with a colour change.


Old:
  1. Finisher notes for 1/4 patterns in this difficulty must only be used at the end of that pattern. Placements other than this can disturb the readability for the audience at this level.

New:
  1. Finisher notes for 1/4 patterns in this difficulty must only be used at the end of that pattern and be of the opposite colour than the preceding note. Placements other than this can disturb the readability for the audience at this level.

Wording can definitely be improved, but adding this to the RC has been overdue in my opinion.

1/4 finishers of same color is just a trill ending in minijack for mania, which plays really bad. Increasing the strictness for taiko rules sounds plausible, though I'm not sure if this should be allowed for slower BPM or not.

Generally the rules are written with 180 BPM in mind, so at lower tempo it can be bent a little (say, 110BPM is a good benchmark, as that's just 220BPM 1/2, which a decent amount of players can singletap)

I remember this being part of the RC, so I looked a bit through waybackmachine, and yes it was actually there.
Old RC
February 2015: (screenshot, waybackmachine link)


A month later (March 2015) it was changed to this: (screenshot, waybackmachine link)


It remained like this until June of 2017 for sure (I left the game in June that year), but it changed somewhere in 2017, as the snap of November 2017 does not contain any written rules regarding finisher usage in Oni/Inner difficulties.

Needless to say, I'd welcome this back into the RC.
Why was this removed in the first place? :?
