Re: What makes sm better Osu!?

osu is better because there is more nightcore

Re: What makes sm better Osu!?

I do want people to play my charts without lane modifications because I put lots of effort into pitch relevancy but that's really off topic

I only see that apply for pad files because they generally have a lot of BPM gimmicks that C-mods ruins (and also C-mods disqualify rankings in ITG2).

osu!mania is not too bad but I can't bear all those animus charts.
The timing is also kind of fucked up.

Re: What makes sm better Osu!?

SM is like the only music game where people consider mirror/shuffle/etc as cheating it's pretty funny. None of that happens in DDR/IIDX/Pop'n/etc

I do want people to play my charts without lane modifications because I put lots of effort into pitch relevancy but that's really off topic

this is actually interesting, because it's not as if some iidx/ddr/pop'n charts don't follow certain song traits such as PR and layering.

also what makes certain sm files distinct is certain hard parts that kind of get lost when shuffled

please don't tell me you're actually in the camp of "shuffle is bad"
you're primarily an accuracy player, so maybe you don't see what shuffle is a benefit to higher level players
you do know what shuffle does, right? not only does it, you know, randomize the columns so you're forced to play patterns that aren't used very often in charts, but it also removes reliance of muscle memory

paraphrasing this

this rhythm game that I'm playing has too much anime
the timing of said rhythm game is also kinda fucked up

Re: What makes sm better Osu!?

Hold release timing is not a bad thing. Do you just excessively hold all keys when you play the piano?

equating a rhythm game to playing the piano

We are all spoiled by SM's convenient freeze mechanic which induces wrong ways to play a music.

it introduces a disadvantage when playing other rhythm games
players who decide to pick up a physical instrument due to playing a rhythm game will only require one day of practice or tutoring to realize that every single skillset they have acquired in their playing of rhythm games gets thrown out the window. the only exception might be an ear for music, but that's a mental thing, not a physical thing

This is terrible for music games.

it's only bad if a player decides to branch out into a different rhythm game. an example would be when I started playing bms. holds were the bane of my existence. got over them pretty quickly though.

Also I wouldn't have to make minefields if SM had hold release timing

but
minefields are pretty

Re: What makes sm better Osu!?

Of course I would expect playing a music game to have SOME similarities to playing a music what are you even thinking

This is what IIDX Random does, and players use it all the time to practice patterns (instead of just relying on learning the patterns of a chart) and also sometimes help them get high scores on a "good random"

What do you expect from a community that really likes anime?

Re: What makes sm better Osu!?

Osu has ridiculous combo based scoring that makes it stressful to play and not to miss a note mid-song.

Also the theme, I hate Osu's animation choice of always slowly tweening, smoothly fading etc. it is not as snappy and quick as Stepmania's.

Re: What makes sm better Osu!?

I HATE osu, because of the stupid thing where it counts when you let go of holds as part of your combo
