Let's say for tapping you can tap all songs that top player plays let's say top 5 and be able to have the highest accuracy but your aiming is about 3*
You would often play autopilot mode

Or

Be the aim God, you have the ability to aim with highest accuracy but you tapping leaves much to desired. Like almost that of a 4*

Highest accuracy doesn't mean perfect. You still have to retry and it's still difficult and challenging

And no, this doesn't apply to the crazy impossible beatmaps

As a 99.5% acc player with extremely inconsistent aim, I would much rather have good aim and bad rhythm instead.

Accuracy without combo is worthless. 1 x 1 is 1. 100 x 0 is 0.

STD is mainly an aim game after all, so I would choose aim.

easy peasy answer, i would just take the aim and then spend like 2 years to not only regain what i currently have but also surpass it by a mile...
my current tapping skill has been reached in like 1 year because i already lost everything when i quit the game in 2016 lol

tapping improvement has always been guaranteed for me and has always just steadily and stably happened as i played more

but aim, holy shit, all over the place and no consistency ever.

I thought about this for a while. I originally was going to pick tapping but as I read your posts I realize how hard aiming can actually be. Much harder than tapping. Hell you can just tap to a metronome. Thank you for helping me reach my answer. I would rather choose aiming

Aim is more important. There are many high level maps that don't contain streams or even the streams are short and at a 4* level. When you get to harder maps even if you can stream like mad it won't matter as the streams start becoming spaced and then you'll fail at them due to crappy aim timing.

I mean if you want a compairison I think of the 2nd scenario as being a touchscreen player, sure there is map limitation as they can't do streams, but there is still plenty of jumpy maps you can play. With only tapping skill you'll never FC anything

Definitely tapping since it's my weakness; better finger control means better consistency anyway. No point in aiming if you still can't tap over 250bpm imo.

It's harder than tapping to learn.

Tapping, since I'm worse at it. That might change in the future
