Taiko World Cup - Exam Practice Paper 1 by aabc271 Last update : Jan 16 2014 (Version 1.5) ( Round 1, RO16, RO8 done. Updated notes ) ------------------------ Notes : 1. Practice papers are only given to HK twc4 participants 2. Practice papers are made harder than the one in twc3. This is for avoidance of sudden unexpected difficulty increase in twc4 ( Just like what happens at owc4 ) 4. All map picks in this practice paper will be given reasons why they are chosen. This acts as a reference to HK twc4 participants. However, I am not responsible for the accuracy of map picks 5. The order of map picks are based on the ascending difficulty, which is indicated by star rating ( eg 9+* ). The ordering is only my personal opinion and it could be different for other players 6. Practice papers will strictly follow the rules stated in twc 2014 wiki page. Some reminders of important changes are as follows : a. Each round of mappool consists of 23 maps in total ( 10 + 4*3 + 1 for Round 1, but 6 + 4*4 + 1 for other rounds ) b. FreeMode (FM) is added for all rounds. For FM maps, each player can choose no mode, HD or HR. Each player CANNOT choose more than 1 mode. One player of a team MUST have HD or HR activated ( Meaning that having 3 no modes in 1 team is NOT allowed ) c. The tiebreaker will be played under no mod, NOT FreeMod d. Warm-up maps no longer grant the winning team the initiative to select maps, since this becomes totally random by using the !roll command e. Scheduling will be handled by the Tournament Management but not players, which means we will NOT have any chance to submit a preferred time to the staff f. Failed players' score will not be counted, so do NOT fail any map ! ------------------------ Changelog : All changes that are same as Version 0.3 will not be recorded Jan 16 2014 (Version 1.5) - Fixed the notes, since the twc4 wiki is released. BE SURE TO READ POINT 6 ! Jan 13 2014 (Version 1.4) - RO16 and RO8 done. Working on RO 4. (Bracketed descriptions about DT in FM since it seems that it's impossible to use DT in FM.) Jan 12 2014 (Version 1.3) - Round 1 done. Working on RO 16. Nov 17 2013 (Version 0.6) - Added notes on mappick limits in all rounds for clarity. Also rearranged FM to below no mode for easier reference Nov 13 2013 (Version 0.5) - Added some more maps, and adjusted the format a bit Nov 11 2013 (Version 0.4) - Added more notes as reminder to players Nov 07 2013 (Version 0.3) - Added more maps Nov 05 2013 (Version 0.2) - Format changes.

Lia - I Scream Chocolatl (TV Size) (0gre's Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/223801&m=1 [Following subconscious-style HD picks in twc3, this BPM 90 diff should be ideal in RO8.

(lepidon! - Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/78390&m=1 [A really streamy diff with challenging 1/4 + 1/3 sections.

Hard Problem!! (Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/179713&m=1 [The diff itself is simple and it only contains some simple patterns. But the high BPM and HR makes this uneasy for players to react. 10+*] (205) Hatsune Miku - Unhappy Refrain (Climbb's Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/105917&m=1 [BPM 205 HR, once again similar to twc3's RO4 level. Placing this to RO4 should make this a lenient pick, but the 1599 combo makes this worth to be in RO4. 11*] -- DT (Max = 1 per team) (150) seiya-murai feat. ALT - 8bit Princess (714's Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/267012&m=1 [BPM 225. Contains few rests and many long 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 sections.

The complicated red-blue arrangements make this diff probably too fast for single-tapping and very complex for alternating. TV size but still considered very hard. 12*] (150) Cuvelia - Tenkuu no Yoake (Tama's Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/148012&m=1 [BPM 225. Patterns are extremely complicated under DT, and the mix of even and odd plets makes this even more insane. Although BPM is lower, it justifies as a map in semifinal due to the difficulty of getting FCs. 12*] ---------- Tiebreaker (When 5:5) (240) t+pazolite feat. Rizna - Distorted Lovesong (Taikocalypse DX) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/245124&m=1 [Combo 3076 in 7+ minutes. Its intensely long BPM 240 sections make this perfect for the tiebreaker section.

Its extreme BPM, combined with lots of 1/4 finishes and crazy note density, makes this one of the hardest taiko diffs ever ranked. 13*] -- FM (Unlimited) (170) LeaF - MEPHISTO (TK'S Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/284037&m=1 [I guess this the hardest patterned map ever ranked. Throughout the diff there are lots of long streams with almost maximum complexity. Some of them even contain 1/6s in between. I'll be really impressed if someone FCs this in real matches. No mode 12*, HR 12+*, HD 13*] (200) Amuro vs Killer - Mei (lepidon! - Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/87775&m=1 [One of the most famous taiko maps in osu. Its BPM changes, high base BPM, extreme density and complex streams make this almost impossible to stably FC. No mode 12*, HD/HR 13*] (174) Igorrr - Pavor Nocturnus (Fatal Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/178067&m=1 [Intense mixes of 1/4 and 1/6, making this extremely difficult to FC. HR/HD possible. No mode 12+*, HD/HR 13*] -- HD (Max = 1 per team) (110) NicoNicoDouga - Courage to tell a lie (S.Nagi's Taiko) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/147303&m=1 [Similar to subconscious HD final's style, with even more intense clusters, such as long 1/4 + 1/8 sections. The slowdown part might be a nightmare for most players unless memorized. 11+*] (174) TAKA respect for J.S.B - Ubertreffen (Wmf's Taiko) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/157890&m=1 [One of the hardest patterned taiko diffs ever ranked. With HD it becomes a big challenge even for top-level HD players. 12+*] (148) TOMOSUKE - Macuilxochitl ([Shalon]'s Jubeataiko) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/140245&m=1 [The rhythms of the song are so unusual and quite random. Combined with 1/4 patterns of almost maximum complexity, this should quite impossible to FC with HD. 13+*] -- HR (Max = 1 per team) (195) celas - Azul (Remix) (lepidon! - Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/129280&m=1 [Kiai contains really complicated streams. Although BPM195 is not extremely high, it is still very hard for players to FC due to the increased speed. 11+*] (220) 07th Expansion - rog-unlimitation (lepidon! - Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/110148&m=1 [BPM 220 HR. This insane speed makes this diff almost impossible to FC on 1st play. However I have to include this because we cannot be sure how fast twc4 will go for HR section. 13*] -- DT (Max = 1 per team) (174) Nudarai - Nuclear Fusion (lepidon! - Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/87205&m=1 [BPM 261. The patterns are not so hard, but the diff contains few rests, making this uneasy to alternate or singletap. Overall a slightly easier final DT map. 12*] (152) Memme - Extreme Fantasy (Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/173048&m=1 [BPM 228. A relatively low BPM pick in DT section, yet very hard to FC due to the high OD and the long, misleading streams throughout the diff. 12+*] (182) Tatsh feat. Tsukiko - Floating Darkness (Climbb's Taiko Oni) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/83353&m=1 [BPM 273. This extreme BPM makes the 2-plets in this diff very misleading and hard to FC. The difficulty should be ideal for final. 12+*] ---------- Tiebreaker (When 5:5) (130-736) t+pazolite - Do I Smile? (Firce Force) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/157286&m=1 [Combo 2353 in 4+ minutes. BPM is impossibly high in the middle part, making this basically impossible to FC. Still, other non-WTF parts are extremely dense and draining. 13+*]
