Is it just me or is gaining PP really easy? I just play random insanes and S them and each one gives me anywhere from 2pp to 20pp. Most of these scores aren't even really impressive (the Usatei score is though).

I imagine it stops eventually, and these insanes wont give me pp anymore, but its still odd how easy it is.

Well if you can just S random Insanes like that then ofc it's easy, your getting the second highest rank on the hardest difficulty (and you get more points for combo's over SS anyway).
Funnily enough you're much more likely to get rewarded for getting 200 or morecombo in a 400-500 max combo song than getting 600 or more combo on a 1.4k or higher max combo beatmap.
With the current pp system it seems much more biased for short maps because of that imho.
Well it depends on the difficulty of the map.

I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY THAT MAP IS BULLSHIT NO WONDER NO ONE ELSE FC'S IT WITH DT.
fun fact: I didn't even get a top50 rank for that because of hdhr losers. In fact that score was rank 325 on the map which is total bullshit.
i can't even begin to fathom how it's even possible to read that fast, let alone actually play that
the fastest i can get is 200bpm ar9 and thats with very forgiving maps

I love the happy reaction and then instant pain, reminds me of every super fast map and how my fingers feel afterwards.

So spending my days on /a/ has actually proved beneficial for once because I found myself a new rhythm game.
It's called Love Live School Idol Festival, here is a video of one of the songs being played:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kejfsyciks[/media]
While this is the main part of the game, you also have to collect cards (each idol is a card) and do things like level them up and combine them to make them stronger etc. I love this part as games with nay sort of collection aspect have me trying to get 100% from the start.
It's a free game but it has it's limits because of this. You have LP which is points that allow you to play songs. For example an easy song may be 4-5 points, but a normal is 8-10 and hards are normally 15. To get LP you either have to level up (your LP is restored then, sometimes with more space for more LP added) or you have to use a Loveca stone to restore it. While you do get them for free during play, they are sort of limited and hard to rack up (unless of course you buy them with real money).
Apparently there is going to be an English version coming sometime this early this year, but there hasn't been much news about it recently.
In summary, try it out and see if you like it. It is free after all.
Look like 9 key mania on a touchscreen with animu cards. Oh god if mania wasn't hard enough already why add more keys.
pop'n music is already actual 9key mania tho

i also can't play osu any more because the constant terrible timing is bothering me way too much
literally every beatmap is late by 5-40ms, with very few being actually spot on and even fewer being early by 5-10ms
when the hit window for getting a 300 vs a 200 in most modes is 8-20ms, that means unless you actually sit there and manually set offsets for every single map of a beatmap you'll most likely get 200s for everything if you actually listen to the music when playing.
i always wondered why i would do way better (get 300s far more often) when i turned sound off and i guess that's why! it seems like timing doesn't matter at all for the ranking process, which is absolutely terrible for a game based around music
streaming some stepmania, maybe beatmania too

sounds like your global offset is wrong buddy.
[QUOTE=jesse1412;44660886]sounds like your global offset is wrong buddy.[/QUOTE]
i can assure you my offset is perfect, and you wouldn't see a difference of -40->+10 on every song regardless of what your global offset is
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXjOZyncvxc[/media]
from playing a few songs and manually adjusting the per-song offset by using [+]/[-] i found the following offsets below
then went into editor mode, slowed down to 25% speed, and looked at when the offsets match up to the beats to make sure i wasn't hallucinating. most of these are approximate to the nearest 5ms

(i can't find the song where i found it to be +10 atm oh well)
i don't have very many standard ranked maps from 2014, but i do know that mania timing from 2014 is all kinds of fucked 70%+ of the time
like [url=http://a.pomf.se/nujxbm.png]this gem[/url] that uses uninherited timing points to start/stop kiai time, and uses multiple timing points simply to resnap the song back to where it should be because it's improperly timed. Including being off by like 5-20ms (it varies) for like the entire song
[t]http://a.pomf.se/nujxbm.png[/t]
best part about this map? it was modded like 20 times (twice by BATs) and not a single person mentioned the timing
tl;dr fuck osu's timing
Sorry but I can almost assure you that most of those maps are correctly timed. You must remember that when a beat "is" can be a little subjective, some people say it's the moment you hear the start of a beat and other people might say it's when the beat hits it's volume peak. A lot of songs have these ambiguous beats but you're evidently listening for the point that modders do not.
If you listen in editor (checked that grim self, used -20) It is horrifically wrong and it's obvious with that offset.
And HOLY GOD DAMN SHIT open up rubik's cube and move the offset -30. I have never heard such horrific timing since I made that "my heart will go on" map.
Change the timing on croix, go to 00:15:744 (1) - and just listen to that terribly timed stream.
The only one I can understand is gold dust being -15 and that's not because -15 is the correct timing, it's because it's painfully obvious that you're playing to the vocals which isn't what the map is timed to.
It may feel like your timings fit more but if you actually listen your's are all wrong and the given ones are all correct.
How important is it to use Z and X on Osu? is it just a preference thing or am I going to regret not getting used to Z and X down the road?
learn now rather than later

I know i'm amateur, but i use purely mouse and manage to get past those bursts/streams whatever those quick multiple taps are called.

Currently practicing 5 star difficulties. Used to play 4 stars maximum, gotta step up at some point.
[editline]28th April 2014[/editline]
Also, why the fuck some songs have such an unforgiving power gauge?
You literally fail song if you miss a single note because power gauge depletes at same rate as you raise it.
[vid]http://a.pomf.se/lzoqmk.mp4[/vid]
This is like a fucking punch in the face, when i simply want to finish song and practice. I bet it's actually impossible to get worse than C in it because you die so easily.
because bullshit drain = difficulty
on the "good" side, it makes you have to play well
The worst are slooow tiny circles in conjunction with lightning-fast sliders that aren't even close to matching the music tempo. Seriously, the fucker who mapped The Real Folk Blues even decided to add a WHISTLE on top of that
Also sometimes Insane is easier than Hard just because it is mapped more sensibly and actually matches beat.
[QUOTE=Taggart;44665915]because bullshit drain = difficulty

the worst kind of drain is the kind that drains twice as quick as you regain by hitting constant 300's after missing a single note
Is there any way to search by gamemode? I want to play some genuine taiko maps.
library -> 'show all' -> sort by mode
before the update when i played a lot more i maintained a steady #500 in the uk (no clue what it was worldwide) but now i've been placed at #904 - or #51600 worldwide... IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK MY PLACE
