Round 36: Triple Tricky Combo



Nominated by FishHook. Consists of 2 sliders and one note. The note is sandwiched between the sliders to give an illusion that there is a triplet when there actually isn't.

Whatever, I just to remember to use the middle finger in the first slider...

The best example of this technique you'll find here: m-flo loves BENNIE K - Taste Your Stuff

I love to play these. It's like "tadadam-tadadam" XD Well it's cool until BPM reach 220 or more. If does that it's easy to hit 100 there. D:

They can be fun but I'd usually just prefer a triplet. Also stacking the beat on the second slider to avoid overlaps is for pros

Decent technique but there aren't so many situations where it works.

There should be a triple in the music there (and "triplet" is a bit misleading, because a triplet is on 1/3 snap or 1/6 snap) or it shouldn't be mapped that way. The William Tell Overture would be fun using this.

It's only bad when there's 2+ notes in between the sliders.

I don't like how those circles overlap with sliders. Sometimes are fun to play tho.

This. Forever this. I'm fucking sick of having the term triplet used for not-triplets

I have no idea what this even is due to the incredibly ambiguous description, misuse of the term "triplet", and lack of timeline in the screenshot.

Is the note between the sliders 1/4 of a beat after the end of the previous slider, or it it 1/2 a beat? Or is this technique referring to both (despite the fact that they play completely differently)?

Hatsune Miku - Uraomote Lovers should be on the list... and imo it's the map which make this technique the best one.
vote 4, since most time it's not easy to get well used.

it's the omission of the first beat in a series of 3 beats. Generally you can feel it coming, so you might want to hit all 3 notes, and thus you'll hit the 2 notes early by accident.

Triplet was coined by the one who nominated the technique.

And we're telling you it has been misnamed. Here's a dictionary entry for you.

Triplet

Also called tercet. Music . a group of three notes to be performed in the time of two ordinary notes of the same kind.

Meaning 3 eighth note triplets (3 notes in 1/3 timing) are of the same length as 2 eighth notes (2 notes in 1/2 timing)


The only difference between osu and music in this case is osu beats exist in a single instance, while notes in music are held for the full length specified.

Removed "Triplets" from the post as it's a misused term.

Triplets comes from most OTHER rhythm games. Guitar Hero as an example. I used to make custom charts, and every time you have a pattern of three descending colors, they'd be called triplets. Like the "One" solo is ascending 'trips' and the more common descending patterns would be called descending trips.

Which is weird, because when you talk about two or one color, it's a gallop.

How do we call a group of 3 1/4 notes then :3?

I can start saying that my cat is actually a dog. I can get everyone I know to start calling it a dog, maybe I could get thousands of people calling it a dog.

It still isn't a dog though.

Depends on how fast they're played in terms of the music.

Literally, that means "three consecutive hits". Not quite descriptive enough.

Except, you know, those ARE triplets. or sextuplets. Or something.

I call them triples. 4 notes would be quadruples, 5 notes would be quintuples, etc... Or just "group of X notes". All you have to do is take off the "t".

A tuplet is "any rhythm that involves dividing the beat into a different number of equal subdivisions from that usually permitted by the time-signature (e.g., triplets, duplets, etc.)". Yes you can have duplets (2 notes in the span of 3). Or even a sextuplet in quintuplet time. It sounds pretty bad though.

These are not tricky! I love how you press your keys to play this. It feels so great when it's mapped correctly to the song. \:D/

Totally love them. These kinds of triplets really tests one's coordination and sense of rhythm, and in high bpm maps, they're really not that easy to spam unlike simple triplets.

If spaced far apart where the edges of each beat touch each other instead of overlap then they are shtty, sadly most of them are.
