Aim is more core to streaming than your tapping. If your aim is off, it'll make your tapping worthless, and you'll instadie. If your tapping is off, your aim is still having an impact and you might still survive the stream.
What defines a stream?
Being hard to aim?
Are consecutive 1/4 that are perfectly stacked(=no stack leniency) still streams?
I don't think stacked 1/4's are streams. If they are, they're barely streams. Example, if you had a map where streams were 9 notes each as straight lines going through the map. Change each of those lines of streams to stacks and you almost have jumps, essentially.

Are triples streams? Are only triples that are not stacked streams?
Mahogany
Stream = Consecutive series of notes that are generally 1/4th, but can be other types depending on the bpm of the map. I'd generally say it's required to be 5 notes or longer, as most people call anything below that "Doubles, Triples" and "Quads" instead. They're also reasonably spaced.

If they're stacked, they're called stacks, not streams.

It was exactly what it was about, me refuting the statement that 'streaming is aim'. I said that streaming does require aim in some form but tapping is the main component. People tend to complicate issues so I just wanted to simplify it a bit.

By the way, streaming stacks is still called streaming, not stacking or anything else.

Ha, problem solved, we have different definitions of streaming.
Therefore there's no actual disagreement just different definitions.

You'll never hit the notes if your aim is wrong, though, regardless of whether tapping is perfect. Meanwhile, if your aim is perfect, but your tapping is off, it's still possible to make it through the stream in some form.
Aim is much more a core skill than the tapping, because your tapping is completely dependent on your aim to actually have any effect at all.

Playing stacks is still called streaming, yes. What's your point? If your cursor is completely off the stack, your tapping still isn't going to do shit.

Can you quote who you're replying to because you have me confused

Harder aim actually makes tapping harder because of how much you have to focus on aim as opposed to the other skill.

Everyone.
Some people only regard it as a stream if it actually moves. Involving movement as a definition of streaming makes aiming a core mechanic of it.
I see streams as the 1/4 spaced notes that lead to somewhere but it doesn't have to be expressed with movement, therefore my definition doesn't involve movement.

If we're talking about streaming with your definition, do doubles and triples count as streams?

Which are more prevelant in maps, streams without movement or streams with?

Assuming you don't count triples as streams :o

tbh for someone like me who have turtle fingers even good aiming won't help me to survive that much
i guess it's more about what you are capable of

"turtle fingers" are irrelevant because we're talking about streams that you individually feel comfortable with bpm wise. Whether that's 160 or 200 or 250 whatever. How about streams where speed is a non-issue?
KanoSet
oh i thought you guys were talking about 5.5* and above 200bpm crazy stuff only
well if it's in a range that i can tap comfortablly then aiming is streaming i would say
but i don't believe bird assumed that either

Both are so important that I can't say which one is the main component of streams
Drezi
"Which side of a rectangle defines it's area more?"

Both tapping and aiming are required and important of course, but most of the time tapping will be the bottleneck that keeps one from being able to SS harder streams, as most strreams are relatively easy to aim. There are crazy spaced streams too of course, where BPM might not be the issue, but extremely precise and even tracing is required aim-wise, in those cases aim becomes the bottleneck (and "more important" in that sense).

Both are essential elements. Tapping can be argued to be more important because without being able to physically stream fast enough, no matter your aim, you will miss, whereas with aim you can luck out

I'd argue that this component of tapping is trivial and not really too much to worry about because all you need to do is vaguely approximate the stream's bpm. If you're playing to your bpm level, it doesn't matter at all really. Then comes aim as the main element of streaming followed by being able to SS streams.

Stream = more tapping. Jump = more aiming. Wow complicated.

Post your amazing FD4D FC, make another poll with options "agree"/"disagree" that says

B1rd wrote:

Streams are about tapping and hand synchronisation. Spaced streams are not hard to aim, all you need to do is move your hand at a constant rate to hit a spaced stream.
The reason why people are disagreeing with you is because you say that, then post a fucking Relax Freedom Dive FC to support your argument and go on claiming you have experience with what makes streams hard.

I don't understand how anyone can possibly misconstrue my argument as anything other than 'tapping and not aim is the main element of streaming', but I knew people would which is why I made a new thread to phrase the question in absolutely the most simple form possible.

Now, if you want to try and backpedal and say' hey, that's not what we were arguing about!' then tell me what we were arguing about so I can go back and explain in detail the meaning of my replies. Otherwise, accept that you are wrong or have a contrarian opinion and stop being so salty about it.

I'd say tapping except for spaced streams, those things are evil.

TL;DR:

By b1rd logic main problem with streams in Dragonforce maps, Blue Zenith, Ice Angel, Babymetal is tapping, not aim.

You - Are - An - Idiot

This whole poll is as stupid as it's creator because comparing burst stacks to spaced streams is like comparing a bike to a exclusive car - fuckin retarded.

Very fuckin funny that i can 99% acc 170 bpm stack for over 1 min but i cannot properly aim Ice Angel streams.
Very fuckin tapping problem, ayyyy lmao.

Yo b1rd, who the fuck boosted your acc with pp? With who you shared your account?
I barely see anyone who played long time, got over 3kpp and spreading such dumb fucked theories.

I notice you always seem to insult people when you disagree with them.

is it really necessary to accuse someone of multi-accounting just because they have a different idea/opinion to you?

anyway, back to the topic. The argument of whether the main component of streaming being either aim or tapping is fundamentally flawed because some streams are spaces and some are not while some are longer or higher bpm. It's situational.

But I will say that for the most part, tapping is more important than aim (if we are talking about getting good accuracy here) since you need to be able to tap fast enough or slow enough while your aim can be slightly worse off and you would probably be okay since the cursor only needs to be on the circle.

at least that's my opinion

Then you don't keep up on all my discussions, i tend to discuss a lot even if i dont disagree.
This case is just plain stupid.

It's hard to believe that 4k pp player is missleading others with bullshit theory that aim is minor impact of streams and tapping is everything.


Tapping is main component of stacks, close stacks. Whenever stream start to be spaced, in other word stream is not stacked - aim takes same place to tapping, in case of weirdly shaped / high ds streams, aim have even higher impact than tapping.

Not mention jumpstreams / moderated distyance snapping like in for example 8-bit princess where aim have way higer impact on streaming acc than tapping.

Pls, nobody will tell me that for example Cookiezi don't FC Road to resistance HR becouse of tapping...

Alright, I read this thread in more detail and the other thread. I understand what you mean. We're actually both right (at least in my head we are) in the sense the the question is actually so convoluted and that 'streaming' doesn't actually imply whether the stream is spaced or not.

But assuming that you are referring to higher levels of play (5+stars?) you are definitely correct in saying that the importance of aim surges opposed to tapping. I might have gotten too muddled in the semantics of the question, sorry.

This is not what we were arguing about in the original thread

You're changing the question immensely by forcing people to choose between tapping or aim. That was never part of the discussion. The discussion was that you said streaming did not require aim. It was not a comparison between the importance of tapping or aim, you just included tapping so that you could get people to agree with you and stroke your ego, instead of actually trying to have a discussion about this. You actually know nothing about the subject, so you're just trying to get people on your side by changing the topic and asking misleading questions, and when pressed, to just say that most people agree with you, and that you're right, which is pretty pathetic.

Also, you're showing you really know absolutely nothing by trying to use a RELAX SCORE to prove your point. RELAX SCORES mean nothing, at all. I also seem to remember you saying you can't stream at all, from a while back. If you can't even do streams, what makes you qualified to talk about them? Especially when you're arguing with Khel, who is a freak when it comes to doing streams.

I'm just going to leave this here. LOL STREAMS DONT REQUIRE AIM

Easy to aim (stacks) -> tapping is main component
Easy to tap (comfortable bpm) -> aim is main component
