Lol i wasnt saying anything about you specifically. Was just trying to create a group for the rest of the players. I know that most people are better than me xD

Based on what i saw it doesn't seem like rank would be too reliable. So what would be the determining factor? A certain song being completed with a certain accuracy or score? I'd rather not presume, but is there even a definable factor?

heh.


1. For a more elaborate measurement, you could consider things like variance, the average of the 10 highest ranked plays (or all plays, whatever you prefer) or (for senior players with lots of plays) the median.
Example:
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/6064267 (me :>)
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/MugetsuBeatz#_general
as you can see, Mugetsu has more pp than me. You can also see, I have a higher variance (due to my top-plays being better and his plays being more spread out equally throughout the 50/60/70pp-range).
Considering average pp/median/variance gives you a better idea of where the players skill levels off.
The noob-version would be to just look at the highest ranked play and taking that as benchmark, but thats a little inaccurate imo.
You could just take the players highest play and multiply its pp with 20. That gives you an approximation of how many pp the player would have, if he were to fill up his scoreboard with plays equally to his highest play. (Source: I did the math)



2. Another thing you can do, is to distinguish between skill-categories, such as "speed", "accuracy", "consistency", "stamina" etc., allocating multiple values to one player, then comparing them separately. This does more justice to the complexity of the game and the variety of different playstyles. You can also apply the idea of 1. to the different categories as mentioned in 2.

Thats only up for the player to decide if they're good or not. When I was around 50k, I thought that I was the shizzle. I think thats what kept me going I think. Look at me now, even I'm suprised that I've made it this far.

Id say you should at least be good enough to be 4 digits to even be considered. After that it's just a matter of how picky and easily impressed you are.

a good 40% of the top 10k are hackers or multi-accounts so

holy shit i fit op's description to a t

if only playing normals/hard almost exclusively really was farming. hard maps are fun, and i rather like my meaningless acc %
most of my pp is leftovers from when i began playing, now that i've started to play seriously i feel kinda weird, knowing that most people around my rank aren't scared of insanes like i am, just gotta Play More so i can actually do them and be proud of my scores

i'm guessing that most ~70k ranks playing like me feel like that, anyway

Personally, I can appreciate the effort you've put in if you can get to 50k using exclusively nomod. Anyone above 50k I'll respect.

The super srs rankings start at 10k though. That's what really tests your dedication, and the bigger concern is exactly how far you can get modless. I have a good few filthy DT plays on my top scores and considering learning HR even though I'm not even 10k yet :/

lmao,at least 50% of top 100 is cheating

It is all subjective and opinion etc. etc. especially how you use the word adequate (adequate to / for what? For OWC? For showing off?) or good.

In my opinion, around 5000pp is when someone starts to be good enough to be worthy of the label "good".



A lot of people (including me at one point) are impressed by, aspire for and will be happy enough upon reaching a 4 digit rank (~3000pp), which is understandable, but many people (also including me) get here and realize, "oh wait, hang on, I'm still shit at the game".

4 digit rank is actually ~3200pp now just like 5000pp is ~1300.

I'll impress you one of these days, Cheezstik-tan.

I can appreciate people who don't play 'exclusively' anything, instead aiming for a balanced skillset.

Hey now, I said good, not impressive ;). You'd have to do shit like 600pp dragonforce plays, rrtyui plays, or millhioref ez / ekoro ezhdfl plays to impress me.

Balanced is good but mods give a lot of PP AFAIK at low ranks because of increased OD it encourages mod farming and if you do that too much, well...look at riince's top plays.

yep, one day you'll just instantly get better,
like +0.4 stars, +20bpm or something like that

i don't understand how is this a problem, usually people gain more respect for DT as it fills their top ranks ;) ;) ;)

i actually have some modless plays there's literally thousands of other people that have nothing but dt you could have pointed out but you had to put me on blast of course nice

i think i understand why people multi-account now

At my skill level where I am on insanes, not just my PP but thr songs I've beat. Would it be fair to label my self as finally starting tobunderstand what the hell im doing? XD


Because when that german was talking about variance (forgot their username >. <) it was kinda answering the question i had. Since it does not seem PP alone could determine a good player (although it is a good baseline to go off of)

Riince, learn HR; it's better and harder than DT.

"balanced skillset" that's what Mahong doesn't have and never had

Let me give you one question:

How big is diffrence betwin player who farm big amount of pp via playing Hard+DT and players who farm pp via playing Insane/Extra modless/HR/HD?
If this diffrence is big, do you take this into your pp calculation?

It's just my personal curiosity becouse i cannot play DT/NC (reason might be stupid for you but idc) but HDHR is in my list to work with.
Vuelo Eluko
HR players are just as pigeonholed and crappy as DT players

And DT/NC players don't know what is good music taste if you prefer to listen distorted shit... i respect every DT/NC player but you actualy didn't gave me proper answer. Maybe more deep and technical explanation?
