12:54 it’s by far the most beginner friendly rhythm game (with the possible exception of fnf just for it’s aesthetic). Adding songs is a simple as clicking on a chart that you like, and adding skins is as simple as subscribing to one you like on the steam workshop. Having everything there for you to download from the game rather than downloading them from an external website allows for people who have never played a rhythm game before to just jump right in and start playing (I mean all 4K rhythm games technically can, but Quaver’s ease of use for downloading songs allows for more immediate song choices). Honestly I feel like as Quaver’s community grows, the quality of the both the charts and the skins will grow along with it.

[@Slug_ssbm]

I personally started getting into rhythm games around 6 months ago, and I started with Quaver, and as soon as I got it downloaded I was playing my first song within a couple minutes. After deciding to get a skin I looked through the steam workshop, found one I liked, subscribed to it and was instantly able to play with it. I decided to find other easy charts to play so I looked at the maps section, so a couple that I liked, clicked on them to download, and was instantly able to play them all within a couple of minutes. I decided to try Osu! and it took me nearly 30 minutes trying to figure everything out, getting a skin installed, and finding which charts could even be played in mania, than which charts are played in 4K, than find one that wasn’t brutally difficult for my skill level at the time. I ended up only really being able to play 2 songs that met those conditions (I wasn’t very good at the time) and while I was trying to find more songs online to download, I got really confused at how the search system worked as I couldn’t find an option to have it only show 4K games. And I didn’t even bother trying Eterna as it just looked way too confusing and I heard that it really wasn’t beginner friendly.

[@Slug_ssbm]

And honestly I haven’t tried Stepmania yet, but I don’t really see a need to right now. I have almost 100 hours in Quaver, and I have a few FNF mods that I really enjoy playing as well, so I don’t really see myself needing to play anything else right now, but maybe as I get better I’ll give different ones a try.

[@JTS-Games]

This is also the reason for me, I also downloaded etterna, but kinda hated it because overall its not user-friendly, ruining the fun for me. Quaver on the other hand is easy to understand and you can get going in minutes.

I just play quaver for the speed rates for 7k, taking out SVs and playing 7k up scroll which so far, I can only do in o!m. I can import all of the maps from o!m & etterna into quaver anyways so I have a lot of maps to play with. Also what I dislike about o!m is that a lot of the maps have diverse HP & OD drains, taking away the feelings of accomplishment from them, or fooling me into believing my skill is better than the usual, because I could mash my way through them, or easily acc them because they have absurdly low OD.

[@バカロン]

I agree hp and/or od are a problem with converted maps from other games to osu!mania. They often have default values of 5 or ridiculously low/high values because noone took care of them. If you play maps from decent mappers that mapped specifically for osu!mania I don't think you will run into this problem. Personally I don't look at these values because you can play a map and play it again after a while to get a better picture if you're getting good or not Not even gonna say a word against the speed rate mod. That's what any rhythm game needs and I'd definitely try quaver out just because of that

I get etterna is better balanced than osu in terms of gameplay or whatever, but etterna is sooo unwelcomming to new players or players that want to transition from osu, i tried to move to etterna multiple times but i just couldn't get myself to. Also, in osu you can much more easily interact with other people than in etterna. So making a game that combines these two games into one, in paper, is a really good idea, and could potentially unite the mania community into that game alone, so imo that's why it exist in the first place

When creating a skin on Quaver there aren't many options to adjust the skins parameters based on the users settings. They have different settings and positions for 4k and 7k and thats about it. When it comes to changing the location of the note receptor or things like the score, there aren't any options to automatically change based on down/up scroll or resolution and stuff like that. This leads to skins being broken when the one using them is playing on different settings than the one who made them. This can sort of be fixed if the user manually changes all the settings for the skin but doing so is far from easy. So the guy at 6:06 isn't at fault.

[@troyarmyfake]

As of December 30th, 2021, the Quaver difficulty system is still sometimes inconsistent. It will give jumptrills, rolls, half-rolls, other burst patterns and vibro patterns a low difficulty if extended for around at least 3 seconds. Beatmaps from osu such as isogu (jumptrill map) and dien may xanh (vibro map) are given very incorrect difficulties and according to quaver, I can't even describe the dien may xanh error. For some reason, the difficulty algorithm thinks the 135 bpm vibro is harder than a 210 bpm vibro, which is very wrong. Additionally, a inhuman vibro section of a map would be given a low difficulty, lowering the difficulty of the chart. On the other hand, I found that streams with a lot of trills integrated into them are given a much higher difficulty than what they should be. I don't know about any other patterns. However, Quaver gives the ability to port over osu!mania and etterna/stepmania beatmaps, which I find to be a great addition.

[@troyarmyfake]

[@KingOfAceZ1]

I think the point of quaver is to be a dedicated mania game with a polished UI like osu's. As is stands, osu!mania to me feels like absolute trash to play, but I did come to mania from osu!standard, so i'm used to having a good UI from osu. I've ultimately settled on etterna because etternas gameplay is superior, but I'll admit that I feel like etternas UI is ugly and kind of a PITA to use. I guess once you've gotten over the learning curve it's fine, but I feel like I could not convince any of my friends to play etterna because of how weird/overly functional the UX is. They might try osu, but osu's 4k is kind of garbage imo. I think quaver is for all of those people who i described, which might be a larger group than you might think. I'm going to stick with etterna for now but I'm certainly curious about this games future. I think it has potential to improve and to become the best of both worlds.

The big thing for me is 7k. Before you were stuck with o!m or BMS, but here you get tons of features that seems essential to a good VSRG. 7k players moving from o!m to Quaver are blessed with rate mods, LN and SV conversion mods, custom judgements, snap colors, chart previews, and many other creature comforts. Quaver initially had a big plan for the competitive market. It seemed like they wanted to build a bustling platform to draw in awareness from outside the rhythm game community. And yeah... as absurd as it sounds, Quaver/Etterna becoming a colloquial "e-sport" would be a lot of fun. But I have no idea where that plan went, and it seems like there's more important things on the to-do list anyway. So for 4k... yeah just play Etterna. For 7k it's worth it.

I'm surprised that, for a channel that's shown to showcase so many different rhythm games, you were so blind in this review. You rated this game's worth from strictly a 4k perspective, practically rating the only half of the game that you care about, and then to end this video with "Why does this game exist?" is just idiotic. I understand that since 4k can use Etterna, you can critique it harshly in comparison. All 7k players have is osu!mania, you could always play lunatic rave or o2jam if you can make these games made in the 2000s work on your computer and if you learn the entirety of the korean language to be able to navigate the menu. Another pointer is if you want to be mainly a 7k player in osu!mania, you will have a significantly harder time ranking up through the leaderboard. 7k will only help you at the top of the rankings. Having separate leaderboards gives 7k players a much better perspective on how much their improving. Another thing you didn't address is the fact that you can access maps downloader through Etterna and osu!mania. The ranked section may be faulty but being able to port over maps is a giant positive that you completely ignored. The biggest thing 7k players get from Quaver is rate mods. Add being able to randomize, make the map inverse, and make the map full long notes. All of these modifiers are incredible tools to help 7k players get better at the game, and no other easy-to-obtain-and-also-in-english game can compare. Quaver also has modifiers such as no sv and no long notes that just give freedom to the player. What I'm trying to say is Quaver allows a 7k player to do an incredible amount more than alternatives. Personally, I'm hurt and disappointed that 7k, for some reason, you refuse to acknowledge.

I have been playing 4 to 9k for quite a while now, I have tested quaver myself but I just don't see the appeal since it's just another chart "emulator"

[@EtienneYT]

The things you're pointing out are some of the most basic functions that should be in a rhythm game to begin with. Why would I even bother mentioning those? Mentioning 7k would have barely made a difference, as my principles pretty much still apply to 7k maps after looking at them. I also spent a good majority of the video talking about the game itself and only touched on the maps for the last few minutes so... idk where you're getting this "4k perspective" from when I talked about the game itself for about 80% of the video.

[@Kazyek]

@@EtienneYT You say that you don't see why this game have to exist when we have Etterna Online and Osu!mania. Etterna don't even have 7K, and o!m ranking system combining both 4k and 7k is so broken that it's irrelevant for both game mode. Quaver become by default the only 7k game with online features that's worth playing at this point. Sadly, the point you made with LNs is even worse for 7k, and the stricter LN release timing makes 7k noodles quite awkward to play. On top of that, the leniency on "ghost input" allow you to just mash the 7 keys for doing hard 4-5-6 notes chords, making them trivial, thus weighted incorrectly. O!m have the same problem, but it's even worse in Quaver sadly :( Still, quaver, being new and still tweaked / updated with ranked play in mind, have the option of improving on that in a near future. From what we've seen over the year, such critical and needed improvements won't ever make it in o!m.

[@lonelyplanet120]

@@Kazyek let's hope the real answer of why quaver needs to exist is that developers would actually listen to criticism and improvement rather than osu!mania devs UwU since this video can help out tweak the Quaver seen to become better on what is lacking

quaver standarad judge is more loose by a bit (OD 7 with more lenient marv window) and osu stable inherently has delay so it takes time to adjust to.

[@taggerung_]

Congrats dude, youre famous!

[@jermm2183]

my opinion is that it has the best UI and "looks" (smoothness, customizability, offset adjustment accuracy charts, etc.) but is held back by lack of good maps and and lack of players compared to osu!mania, etterna, stepmania, etc. I use this game 99% of the time for 4k/7k because of the fact it's friendly on linux. You can get other games through things like lutris and (if you have a very good computer) wine. Running with proton is smooth performance and I don't need to worry as I don't play for pp so I can simply import any maps from other rhythm games to play. Overall I would it's a large upgrade from osu!mania, a slight one from etterna, but lacks players and good maps so if you play for pp then I don't recommend this game as you're going to need to import all the maps from other games yourself in order to find good maps

[@fijisqueejie7954]

what mic do you have? It sounds really good!

[@Male_Parent]

Yeah the only reason I tried quaver was because it has custom timing windows, has rate changes, and supports 7k. I stopped playing it because I didn't feel like converting my mania skin to quaver. It'd probably be a really good accuracy trainer for 7k but I just continue to play mania. It doesn't stand out in 4k IMO because there's other games like etterna pretty much do the same thing as quaver. I guess quaver's UI is a lot more beginner friendly compared to etterna IMO.

9:02 IMO i think Good and Okay judgements should give a combo, because even if they are not great, they still are called "good" and "okay", it doesn't make sense to me that if you're hitting the notes "good" you'll still get a combo break - same thing with "okay", okay is okay, is it not? why should i be punished for doing just okay? it would make sense to me if they were changed to be like "mediocre" or "bad" or something like that, but if they're called good and okay i think it makes perfect sense to not be a combo break - just my opinion though.

you still hit the note, which means you keep combo. you shouldn't lose combo unless you miss imo.

The main drawback with Quaver, in my opinion, is that you can't cut and paste your existing StepMania/Etterna song folder into Quaver. AFAIK, you have to drag and drop every simfile i n d i v i d u a l l y.

There's a button in the options menu to import songs automatically. From personal experience it works for osu!m and etterna.

You have a really good point. I remember setting up stepmania/etterna and I felt so dumb and frustrated. How settings can be so unintuitive...

[@koboss]

I don’t understand what seems so complex to everyone about etterna, customizing your skin/playfield is incredibly simple in comparison to using a skin.ini folder

[@DraganMej]

Well, we are not all elite members of the genre, I, for exemple, started playing 3 weeks ago Quaver, I didn't need any video to understand ultra basic stuff, but when I tried to play Etterna I got overwhelmed by the amount of information presented, I would rather play the game to see if I like it, before installing 17 song packs, 33 skin packs, and watch a total of 3 hours of tutorials. My point is, Quaver is amazing in being a new-player friendly, the points in the video stand, but the fact that the experience feels better for me is enough to get me playing. Of course, maybe I will switch to Etterna one day, who knows and who actually cares, I know that Quaver got me into the genre, not Etterna or Osu!Mania.

[@バカロン]

@@koboss ​well to me skin.ini config file doesn't seem to be any complicated and I've helped people I talk to with it. The most popular request is moving the field to the center of the screen which is not hard to do at all. skin.ini has a dedicated wiki page that explains everything including skin files themselves what they are for etc. Some years ago when I tried to play an alternative for osu!mania I couldn't find any proper guide on all the settings in order to make the game look and work how I want. To me it seems like etterna is a better stepmania yet settings are still not beginner friendly. But hey maybe we're all just dumb.. The point still stands the same that it's not intuitive at all

[@zukio6088]

Yeah as an osu mania player I still haven't figured out Etterna (I'm }{ close to joining the Discord and enslaving some poor little Etterna player into helping me set it up, just haven't found the time yet) And as easy and simple as osu mania looks, everytime I try to introduce my friends into it I realize just how complicated everything actually is and how much information people are bombarded with at once which is definitely overwhelming.

[@JorlandoLigers]

[@lsswapsupra]

etternas base is confusing and hard to understand aswell as prioritizing jacks, osu mania feels off for people who come from other rythm games, and because quaver can load osz map files, get skins from workshop, easy to understand ui, amazing hit reg and fps, its a saving grace for people like me who hate osu mania with a burning passion but want that wide selection of songs. tldr; quaver is better at doing some very core things than other rythm games, and is easy to switch to

[@taggerung_]

etterna does not prioritize jacks. jacks are infact underrated in the current implementation of the game. also quaver has fps based hit reg
