Playing a full song is the same as playing 2-3 tv sizes in a row.

Fun fact: TV sized maps have harder patterns when compared to longer maps of the same star difficulty.

Playing TV Sizes typically require a very linear set of skills, most of the time being heavily aim-dominant. However, beatmaps of full length songs often incorporate much more than just jump aim-intensive patterns, widening the skillset needed to play them.
TV size maps have more potential for complexity especially on lower level insanes (could be biased since that's what I usually play).

Some TV size maps and shorter maps:

Can you find any full length maps with that kind of mapping at that star rating? I've played my fair share of full length insanes around 4.5* and most of them feel like what CXu said, like playing 2-3 generic TV size maps in a row.

Examples:

https://osu.ppy.sh/b/721225

tl;dr
Don't put full length maps on a pedestal, they're not as complex as you think.
Complexity comes from the song and not the length. If we had TV size camellia maps, they'd be just as complex.
People who think all TV size maps are jumpfests should stop getting maps from Tillerino.

TV size is not giving the song the respect it deserves.

Edit: If you think a significant amount of TV sizes are just like full length mapped songs, you are playing some pretty basic-mapped beatmaps.
I think you mean "a significant amount of full length mapped songs are like TV sizes", because that's what I was trying to say (at least for maps below 5*).

No offense taken by the way I just wanted to clear the misunderstanding that TV size = just aim and bursts (you'll know if you actually played the maps I linked)

Who the hell downloads the videos anymore? Waste of space and how are you going to watch that and play a map at the same time unless it's like one star

Quick, lock thread that's not mine before a sensible counterargument is made so it looks like I won the argument.

I disable the video if they're not my fave (or if I haven't watched the anime yet since some OP video give spoilers to the series).

I need a mod to lock the thread. The main point has already been discussed, so this thread is just turning into a "Bump post count" thread by people stating their own subjective opinions on tangents.
I don't mind it getting locked, but I still wanted to know the insights of others concerning the topic since everyone's got their own opinion.

people complain about tv sizes getting ranked while other full size maps are waiting in pending, yet I'm pretty sure the players don't actually know how hard it is to rank something long lol. it's a lot easier to get sth ranked that's short because it takes less time to get finished, it's easier to get mods, and it's easier to get bns. if people want to get longer maps then they need to try ranking it themselves :/\/\/

Most have been said about TV sized maps playing-wise, but as Battle stated, the issue is also mapping-wise.

By being shorter, TV-size allows for faster/easier release than longer maps. Modding a 1m30s map is a world different than mapping a 3m/4m long map. Therefore with an higher amount of TV sized maps, it is only logical that common grudge brew against them, from mappers and players (for different reasons in most cases).

It would be nice to have some opinions from BN and mappers on this issue instead of locking the thread just because the issue is tackled-ish player wise.

except you get one score for a full song, while you get 2-3 scores on tv sizes

I never have any problem ranking a 3 mins + song >;, ranking a 3 mins map isn't hard if you are experienced enough, also modding a good 3 mins map is alot easier than modding a bad tv size map.
Anyways I guess the hate that tv sizes get is only because there are like 15 maps of every song being mapped. But there is nothing wrong with TV Sizes :D
