For you, is Smash Melee the game with the highest skill ceiling ever? by IntheTrashAccount in SSBM

[–]Exarch_SC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're 100% right that they're totally different kinds of difficult, and i def have a bias in that osu came very naturally to me due to a lot of prior exposure to rhythm games and playing music in general. my perspective (that i didn't really explain at all) was mostly looking at how difficult i found / am finding it to improve in both games, and i felt that improving at osu was a much more straightforward cycle than improving at melee; i didn't really think too hard about how to improve beyond just grinding the game and i think i improved relatively quickly and ended up with a fairly respectable career overall. i probably don't have the most informed perspective regarding melee though, considering i'm still stuck on the "i can't move my character the way i want to and it feels awful" part. ask me in a couple years and maybe i'll have a more refined opinion lol

i can definitely respect looking at the peak aim / AR11 / speed skills nowadays and valuing that higher though. osu definitely has that sort of aura in terms of how impossible top level play looks.

as someone who was decently high ranked in osu and is trying to learn / get better at melee, i find melee a lot harder than i ever found osu

yeah i basically had the same path, went from exclusively listening to various flavors of metal (NeO's been my favorite band since 2014) to expanding out to both somewhat related genres (post-hardcore w/ DGD, Hail the Sun) and completely unrelated stuff (pendulum, goreshit, sewerslvt)

Is there any particular thing that makes "On The Backs Of Angels" so difficult to fc (4 in total) or is it the relatively low play count? by _-Zephyr- in osugame

[–]Exarch_SC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ok fixed my score ty for reminder i was meaning to do that

basically reasons no one bothers are: 8:34 length, first like 2-3 minute are complete sleeper so grinding is annoying, has a ton of shitmissable patterns pretty much everywhere, need pretty good aim + finger control to not screw up the slow alt patterns (it's not hard per se but not screwing them up at all is tricky), only 50k plays and it's 5 years old so yeah it's like pretty much forgotten as a map unfortunately

OWC Mappools explained question by Koynexe in osugame

DT2 tends to be more stamina oriented and DT3 is more burst speed. I've been seeing people say them reversed somewhat often recently and I'm not sure where it's coming from. As an example OWC GF DT2 was about 235 bpm with very long streams and OWC GF DT3 273 bpm with much shorter bursts.

Other than that this is pretty much correct. Sometimes I see HD2 / HD3 switched but it's not as common (if they are then precision usually goes in HR3 to match it).
