How relevant is your recommended difficulty for you?

For me it's a bit relevant. I know it's calculated based on pp, thus your answer will wildly vary.

Personally, it's a guesstimate on my present capability. It sits at 5.61 currently, and I can naturally FC on that range, assuming typical and non-marathon maps.

It's way off with mods though. EZ is just impossible on mid 5* currently, both HR and DT separately is still too hard, at least for achieving same my acc standard (for mastery) at 99% as NM.

My recommended difficulty is 5.5*4 yet the maps I can consistently fc are in 4.9*. At least it reminds me that I need to fc 5.54* to gain ranks ww

my recommended difficulty is 3.59*, which is very wrong because i can fc 4* maps and pass 5* maps...

But you don't have a single 100pp play and any 4*/[insane] plays you do have are only mid in terms of pp (below 70pp). Seems about accurate, actually.

As for me, it's probably a measure of my upper boundary in terms of SS more than anything. And in that sense, I agree 5.28* is about the highest I could conceive of me getting SS's (albeit with a LOT of grinding or lucky runs). As far as my real SS range it's definitely about a full 1* lower.

Not relevant at all . My recommended difficulty is 6.1*, but I don't even need to play >5.5* to gain pp. I can already gain pp and even top play from 5 - 5.5* LUL.

It's abt 85% relevant & It works really well. I mean, i only have 1k pp so that is probably why. I heard it's really good for beginners

Idk about the recommended star rating thing...

Idk a 3.95* kind of seems inaccurate even though I had done some 4* fc's in the past...

5.6, I don't know why it increased because I don't even play the game. Probably inaccurate.

Go to beatmap listing.

The topmot option will say "Recommended Difficulty (x.xx)" Where the x's are what it suggests for you.

Like I told JLuca (more or less), just because you have a 4/5* FC or two doesn't necesssarily translate to you being able to play at that level.

Granted, I don't know for sure if it tracks pp gains or whatnot, but if jojo's 5* FC is on the lower end of his top plays (or not even on it), I suspect that wouldn't be a factor at all, while the 3* FCs/SS's you do have will have a great effect. Or Mikey's 4* FCs to a similar degree (if perhaps a bit less since Mikey likes playing old-style pattern maps).

I think a good metric to judge it by is to consider both the maps that you personally find comfortable to play (aka that magic 95% acc) and what you think the game thinks about your top plays. In my case, the top half of my top plays are mosstly all high 4* maps including HR/DT adjustment (only a handful are below 4.5*), so putting the recommended at 5.28* seems pretty accurate by that measure because it's just above what the game considers my comfort zone. What it can't necessarily infer is how dedicated I am to an SS-only playstyle, so maps at that high 4* range aren't actually in my comfort zone nor what I would currently play frequently, which in turn would move it down closer to 4.5-4.7* instead.

4.96*? I FC'ed a few of low 5* maps to gain pp even though that's dependent on accing so it might depend. If I FC a 5* map with great accuracy (98%), I would get a ton of pp from it. Take a look at Abracadavre (Insane). My highest FC star rating (5.36*) yet also a top play but I didn't get 98%. If I SS a 4* map with (HD)HR, I get a lot of pp since it's OD10.

So, it's slightly relevant. (Recommended difficulty shows you maps 0.5* more your recommended difficulty value)

Mine is 6.77* and I mean, I get it but I don't even enjoy playing maps that hard most of the time. I guess my farming has messed with the recommendation.

7*

I think it's somewhat reasonable. 7* comfortable aim maps are definitely fcable for me, provided they aren't extremely long with constant difficulty, and 7* flat raw stamina maps are also easily fcable for me.

I have no idea actually

I just play whatever I want and if I can FC, I FC

I usually FC maps that are 6-6.5* if I'm not washed (like right now)

My recommended difficulty is 6.05 stars. It's completely irrelevant to me outside of very few dt farm maps and maybe 1 or 2 aim maps. I think I have 3 or 4 six-star FCs in total. I struggle to FC most high 4 stars with nomod/hidden - especially if its aim or high density, if its dt farm then I can do mid 5 stars quite comfortably.

7.52 stars, the only 7.52 star maps I can play with any sort of competency are dt aim farm maps lol

It's useful for filtering beatmaps so I can download all the 7 star ones
