You know how there is this thing called keymodes? While they are part of mania, why not split them up into sub-gamemode categories with their own rankings?
While mania noticeably has its own sub-gamemode genre, the standard gamemode has its own subgenre too, we just don't see them as often because they are not rankable... yet. Tag2/4 maps, Jubeats type maps, etc. Since they are not your typically accepted maps, they currently fall into the gimmick category. Hey, but what about this gimmick map category request then? Well anything else without a definable sub-genre, troll maps, or others can be part of that gimmick category.
FAQ:
I am not sure what taiko and catch the beat sub-gamemodes there are, but I think this is a good start.

Wait, wait, hold on to your peppies, I'm not done! While a gamemode is defined by a certain set of rules, a sub-gamemode is defined such that the way you play is different while still following the gamemode's ruleset.peppy wrote:
Why not ranking boards for each country for each key number for each unique mod combination for each state in each country for each period since the last lunar eclipse.

FAQ:
- BN and QAT are split up for standard, CtB, taiko, and mania now, so what would happen when sub-gamemodes are implemented?
I see BN and QAT split up among the sub-gamemodes as well, but not as strictly as gamemodes. In sort, standard BN and QAT would be effective within Jubeats sub-gamemode and Tag sub-gamemode since in terms of mapping, it's not that much different. It should be up to them to decide whether they know how to deal with the mapping or not. Some 4k mania modders have no clue how to map 7k, and therefore don't.
Will these sub-gamemodes maps have just a map leaderboard without pp or will it be like the 4 main modes?
The main reason why the ranked TAG maps has their PP disabled is because they required more than one finger/hand to aim at the notes. The PP formula is only applicable to single cursor aiming, and therefore those maps made it largely unfair to the overall gamemode philosophy. With the introduction of sub-gamemodes, the rank tables should be split up as the skill in one sub-gamemode is not applicable to another due to the way you play is different (mostly due to the required different input devices). That also means that that someone would need to make new PP formulas for the sub-gamemodes.
I am not sure what taiko and catch the beat sub-gamemodes there are, but I think this is a good start.
