Hey guys, I'm a new player just discovering the performance ranking scheme. My best performance is 70pp, which is a full combo on a 3.5 star map. However, I've cleared 5 and 6 star maps with half time active, and these haven't even made my best performance list. I've also got A's on 4-4.5 star maps which have less pp than the aforementioned 70. Is this normal?

Performance ranking seems to be broken.

Aurani, if you've got the time, could you quickly explain why?
Well, I do have the time, but it doesn't require any in-depth explanation as to why that is normal. It's just pure math, or rather formulas. One VERY important aspect of it is accuracy, and if you don't nail that song like a common brothel prostit- nevermind, just remember that you need to do really really good (almost flawless) in a hard song to actually milk all of that pp out of it.
One good example is your "Rabpit - Saika" map play. You got more pp out of the Hard difficulty (23 if my memory serves me well) , than you did on the on the Expert one (19)... why? Well, you did really, REALLY bad on the Expert one in terms of accuracy... you also got a B score for it due to all the mistakes... so it's simple - if you want to advance, play songs which are just a tad BIT over your top score's difficulty in terms of star rating, and FC them with not less than 97% acc, and you'll advance really really fast. Don't bother playing insanely hard maps with mods that make it easier, but rape your score, and still fail on them.
The reason I haven't given you any mathematical explanations (namely formulas) is because I'm pretty sure some wiseass already wrote post about it, above mine, or is going to do it in a bit.

Right, I see then. Thanks for the advice. However, I'll still be playing difficult songs for two reasons:
-Advancing my skills faster than if I just play easy stuff. This tip was given to me by Australia's osu captain.
-For fun! 3 star maps are boring to play.

Each person has their own way of doing things. It's entirely up to you, as I just gave you advice, not ordered you. Anyways, you're welcome, and I'm happy to have helped!
