Gonz and Rebound are pretty much the top players here and both of them use mouse. Realistically, only Xiao and I actually play with tablet and we're not nearly as good. We don't play as much as they do and half the time we're screwing around.

Rebound uses tablet, and so do i =p
But yeah its the same as everyone is saying, its up to you. Personally i found tablet to be a ton easier. my skill level went above what i could normally pass in a few hours (although i apparently learned how to use the tablet quickly) For some people it may take up to a week or so to get used to it.

Look up doomsday if you think that :3 from what i remember he was a mouse only player. and i think the best one as of last year

[Anaru]

also wtf lol

this shit's not possible with mouse right?

tablet = higher skillcap

[i love you]

Actually, I use both mouse and tablet depending on the map. Mouse for slower maps with slow approach circles and tablet for speed and jumps. They both have their advantages and disadvantages IMO.

Oh and btw, Gon switched to tablet if I remember correctly.

[Gundam-Dude]

Gon has a tablet but still mains mouse cuz he's better with it.

TaNa is another beast mouse player, cept he doesn't use keyboard at all

And you have Bikko who uses nothing but a touchscreen and wrecks. Use whatever you're comfortable with. In general though top ranking tablet players are more common than top ranking mouse players, mostly due to the learning curves.

[i love you]

No wonder Gon has been wrecking lately xd (There was a time when he was actually practicing with the tablet. Guess he gave up on it. I will probably end up doing the same since tablet is hard to get used to IMO)

Oh and another mouse player you might wanna look at is SiLviA. World Champion mouse+keyboard player and he pretty much wrecks over 95% of all tablet users.

EDIT: Here is one of his videos

SS = AAA
S = AA
A = A
B = B
C = C
D = D

It's not THAT different, but I wasn't sure what the response would be haha. I'd have to make the AAA and AA also available for the SH/SSH rankings.

When I saw your post, FFR-styled ranks were the first thing I thought of that would be awesome to have. xP

Also, made rank #2, **** yea. Pretty easy though.

[pmonibuv1]

Happy I passed this. Stfu.

[J4yj4ys3z]

First 2 beatmaps I played :3.

1st- Butterfly (Digimon) I couldnt find my original rank the first time I played it
2nd- Metal Gear Solid 2 Theme.
Fun playing these again :3

@Anaru: Cookiezi with mouse.

Conclusion: Either works fine and nothing is impossible. Either practice with mouse (like Gon and many MANY other mouse users) or buy a tablet (or touchscreen) and don't come crying to us if you suck with it. Practice makes perfect.

You can also try these to practice with whatever you pick... Of course, I recommend you to try them with your mouse first.

[ScarletSky]

HOLY **** WUT? I can't believe I just passed this. o.o (rank 89, but like it matters. xP)

[J4yj4ys3z]

I know this is random (and probably stupid) question but can you use the mouse and keyboard during streams? Like u press z and then u click the mouse button.

[ScarletSky]

I'm sure you can, so long as the mouse is enabled during gameplay.
I know I've gotten accidental 100s from clicking early as apposed to tapping the KB.
That's why I disabled the mouse.

Yes but I imagine it's significantly harder

You'd be multitasking on your right hand and if you need the precision for streams I don't think it's advisable

[justin_ator]

Rather proud of these. I suck so bad loool
Thought I was going to miss ;____;

First pass:

Lol, I've done it a few times during fast streamy sections of some songs but my accuracy is terrible when it comes to clicking ;~;

-scores-

Nice pass on Festival of Ghost, that ending is a little tricky. And nice PA on the other song.

[reuben_tate]

Some scores I'm rather proud. Lol, I'm still not as good as some of you people in this thread, but I thought these scores were decent for me since I've only been playing for three days so far. :P

Some SS's :3 (Including my very first one )

This was my very first one:


I still don't think this is 4 stars, lol


Very easy one :3


This song was fun, I didn't mind whoring it for the SS. :3


This one was harder than I thought, I kept hitting early during the slow parts since I wanted it to go by faster. xD


I just HAD to get this SS after bf'ing it on the last note. >.<

First SSH and RANK 19! !_! (I actually SSH'ed it before all the mods first lol, but then I did it with all the mods so I could improve my rank :3)


Rank 47 :3 Yay for mods xD Maybe I'll try to SS it later with the mods, but it's so easy for me to derp on the jacks >.<




So close >.< This map is rather tricky (considering it's a "hard" chart) so I'm surprised I managed to get this score.


Hey Justin, come at me Lol, I'm so pissed I have the PA for the S but I can't combo this song for ****. >_> Pretty happy with the A still though, considering I couldn't even pass this song the day before, hehe.

[PROGUY]

1st FC on this. I need to stop sucking in accuracy.

[kjwkjw]

Ben ranking in on maps already, very nice ^.^

Cool scores from everyone else as well (keep playing taiko, ika-chan! :3)

[x_Dragun_x]

Top players of 2010, a bit old but considering they dont have a top of 2011 yet... haha it shows some of the top players at the current time playing. and a mouse only user "doomsday" is commentated/showed at 7:43
