Tips so you can get better at Taiko

View attachment 94098
You can either be bad as me or you can be stuck doing Kantan difficulty over and over again.
[tbh everything below 90pp means nothing...]

Here's some [pro] tips I suggest doing if you can't get anything right/ or your muscle memory is fuk'd.
First of all: Play Taiko everyday. You will not get good just from reading these tips! If you will play everyday for atleast 2h, then you will develop a muscle memory.

Second tip: Find a perfect osu! skin which suits your needs. I suggest Yugen for everyone because it's simplistic and doesn't rape your eyes like default osu skin.

Third tip: Map buttons so you can feel comfortable. It's up to you, I mapped mine as Red drum: Z, X and Blue drum: [Keypad 1, 2]

Fourth tip: Focus. If your eyes can't take some Taiko madness then turn leave background brightness at 50% seriously, it helps alot. If you still can't get reading right, focus on middle center and watch as circles appear. If you developed muscle memory then you will easily tap them. You will have decent contrast between circles and background itself.

Fifth tip: Don't get easily "angered". If you fail, try again. No matter how shit your score is, you will learn the map more and more. And you will also improve.

Kinda last tip: Listen to the damn music. Don't mash buttons as soon as you see circles appearing. Mash them to the RHYTHM. That means you have to go with the flow, not with the gun.

Last tip: You don't get Taiko at all? Try playing some games from Taiko no Tatsujin series. No one will laugh at your scores. No one will call you a noob. Just you, and a keyboard. [or TaTaCon drum]
Especially if you have Wii U. Change HIDtoVPAD config and play with your keyboard. This way you will develop your muscle memory even faster.

Very last tip: Watch someone play Taiko. You will watch his every burst, every drum hit and overally, you will learn from him. Even if it's just a YouTube video. [Don't instantly watch someone beat a Onii diff map, like seriously, you will be confused af]

I wasn't perfect either, some Kantan maps were hard for me. The more i wasted my life playing TnT, the better i became. [I still suck but whatever] osu!Taiko is has different elements than TnT [Ex. Appearing circle, requiring you to mash Red and Blue drum, otherwise it doesn't count] and also, Sliders. Those thing only work when you either tap to rhythm or burst to rhythm, otherwise they will not count anything.

I hope my tips helped some people, if it didn't then... play till you will learn?
You will know amazing feeling when you beat a very hard map. It might not be hard for others but you're still proud of yourself.
Question to you: Have you ever played a(n) Taiko game? If yes, did it go well?

See ya in next blog post!

@Minox It's the same expect it has a big drum.
 
just use kddk with the Taiko no Tatsujin skin like a real man, it's better than every other skin I've seen.

I use Yugen 'cause it's easier for me to focus on circles without necessary CPU hoggin animations @Arras. I used that skin but it decreased my performance and created stuttering :/

@Nikki
Drums are expensive and are shitty quality, I would just go to an arcade cabinet.
