    osu!mania vs. Stepmania

    Which game do you prefer, and why? What do you see as the pros and cons of each? Which has the brighter future as it stands?

    Right now my time is being equally used between the two, but I'm going to be just focusing on one in the near future and for a long time.

    Purely out of curiosity, which game do you lean towards, and why?

    Re: osu!mania vs. Stepmania

    I am leaning more towards Stepmania mainly because the timing on osu!mania is weird for me to get used to and that the interface bothers me. I also do not like the fact that you have to time the hold and release of each hold note for osu!mania.

    However, osu!mania have a brighter future then Stepmania does seeing that osu!mania has a much bigger fanbase and that the number is growing rapidly. It is being maintained and it gets updated every few weeks or so which tells you that the game is still extremely active.

    EDIT: I do enjoy both though.

    The idea that RDCP 3 may come out in the future is a fun thought to have~

      From what I've seen osumania doesn't really have very many pros...

        This, I love stepmania, but the ever-expanding base of Osu! and Osu!mania players pushing for updates and the ability to create non-area specific beatmaps that can be transferred to all game modes is one thing that helps it grow so rapidly (that's not to say I like that, sometimes it causes !mania beatmaps to be a little off). I can't wait to see more out of Osu! in the future but don't expect to ever replace Stepmania for that style of beat mashing.

          i haven't gone to much into o!m yet but it seems that a large majority of charts are for 7k/5k. 4k charts are usually just easier versions of 7k charts. a better comparison would be osu!mania vs o2mania due to its mechanics.

          that said i haven't seen any major sm packs converted (yet)

          Released!

            I don't like the fact that most charts are 7K and playing them on 4K won't even get you close to any high score. Holding and releasing on osu!mania is stupid as well.

            I'm going to stick with SM.

                        Re: osu!mania vs. Stepmania

                        I play osu mania often, well I can say the judgement is a bit "broken" and some charts are really bad, true that you can play the same song in a lot of modes, but some songs are really bad, and if you're 4k only you will have to deal getting 200+ ranks even if you SS.
                        about holds I dislike them
                        But yes osu community is big very big and it's fun to play.
                        About no many pros, that's true. Skalim is rank 14 on osu!m, I was playing mp with people and he joined the room, I selected a KBSM(stepmania convert) and well I won even doing bad lol. Again the ranking system is really bad

                              osu!mania could be really cool, but some things about it (i.e. timing, aesthetic) just don't appeal to me and I would prefer to play stepmania
