I came from a game where ghost notes essentially meant that you missed the notes because of something like lag or the game dropping your inputs, so it’s interesting to know this definition!
@@laoloserrsame here. it's also sometimes when the touch sensor just malfunctions and start randomly sensing input which drops early-judgement goods or even misses
ghost tapping near a fake ending saved me so many times. it's definitely a must for those situations! also when i used to play on android i had to ghost tap at the very beginning to make sure my touchscreen didn't decide to nope out on me lmao
I've always done ghost taps for FUN. I never thought it was a real technique, but you basically told me all about it. I also do ghost tapping to make sure the ending isn't a fake ending :3
sometime a chart was "under-chartted" i usually ghost tap since i love the feeling when i can hear "hit sounds" sync with the beat of a song, that's also one of the most important reason why i play rhythm game in the first place, and yes it does helps a lot to feel the rhythm of the song, so great technique 👍
Yes ! It helps out a ton when I have to play hard, or lower difficulties (I usually try to get the AP first attempt so I never have to play them again 😭)
Most likely you’re tapping too close to other notes. So you can either use your other hand / other side of the screen to ghost tap. Or leave out that tap all together 😭 Its a problem I have playing iidx too
Ghost tapping is something I started doing naturally as a consequence of learning to play the music on my flute - where I often tap my heel to keep the beat, so now when I play a track I can actually play I ghost tap whenever one hand isn't doing something. Additionally, having learnt to play some of the songs on my flute has definitely improved my ability to play the tracks because I've tuned my ear to hear more of the notes - and especially differentiating which beats are part of the melody or not
@@laoloserr of course! I've been following you since your video on JP pjsk stopping making you unable to play when you died and immediately loved your style. I'm skilled enough at the game to not really need this sort of content to get better but I still remember what it's like to be a noob at the game and honestly younger me would have found your videos insanely helpful so I know I'm sticking around, especially when your videos are so enjoyable.
I actually see some pro rhythm game players do ghost taps so I tried doing the same thing and realised that it actually helps me feel the rhythm of the song much better, making me hit more perfect notes and even full combos
a simpler way to explain why this works is because ur basically turning ur other hand into a metronome which counts the bpm of a song and that in turn helps u with tapping a note to the beat more accurately tldr blah blah blah music theory
I thought about adding a bit of music theory during a few previous iterations of the script But then it got too deep trying to explain 8th notes and the difference between 4/4 & 3/4 time signatures, etc 😭
I really just vibe to the music in anyway I can to keep the rhythm. Ghost tapping yes, but maybe even bobbing my head/body to the rhythm… Rhythm games aren’t solely based on timing, really. It’s so much easier to hit a pattern of notes if you know the beat, which is obvious but powerful. It’s what helps me sightread new charts so well.
I still find it hard to use ghost taps because when I do, I lose my rhythm... I solely rely on vision, the sound of notes when I first play the song or from a gameplay, and muscle memory to play a song. I only use it to see if the song isn't finished. Maybe when master the game a little more, maybe I could master the ghost tap too QwQ
Ive adapted to be able to visually time, as well as audibly time, so I get what you mean. When i first started doing ghost taps (in the middle of a tournament lol) it was horrible and it didnt work well at all. But overtime i found a way to make it work for me and my playstyle, so im sure you’ll find something that works for you as well !
Ive done this for a while, and its so helpful!!!! also i havent been commenting on your recent stuff but i still love it and have been here for the early days!!
once you get into harder charts rarely would you see ghost tapping being used as the song is simply so dense all the way and if there is a break section your likely to not ghost tap to save energy but it is useful for less dense charts that only have 8ths/slow bpm 16ths
Hi! your content is helping me so much to understand the game! so thank you! I would love a video specifically in hot to create teams and the meaning of the simbols :)
Your videos are absolutely amazing! as a high level player myself i was thinking about making guides like these tı help new players. I would absolutely love to help out in any way i can! Continue making vids!
I usually only do this just because there’s space to It doesn’t help me much with accuracy, especially on like slower note speed like in jinsei and yaminabe where I actually lose accuracy if I try yup Ghost tap/ghosting to me always just meant input dropping
before this video i thought that ghost taps tactic doesn't exit. I, sometimes, use ghost taps on the beginning of the song when there are bunch of long hold notes. I think it adds, like, a detail to the song (especially if you tap on the beat). Mostly im relying on my reaction and memory, but on every long pause i will tap on screen few times so i can be sure if it's the fake end or if it's the real one
For me, I like to ghost tap depending on what song I’m playing. For example Gehenna (Master) I ghost tap when the song kinda slows down and throws small notes, and I also ghost tap during the hold notes of Intense Voice expert mode. Maybe if I tried ghost tapping during Children Record master, I could’ve fc’ed it faster 😭😭
I usually do ghost taps when I play casually or when I know the songs well. I didn't even know that what they were called 😅 I just instinctively did it.
I use ghost taps basically all time time if I ever am just trying to AP low difficulty songs. I think a vast majority of songs on easy difficulty are just one constant slow ghost tap all the way through. I feel its the reason some people can get an AP on something like expert but not on easy or medium, just the lack of constant notes to maintain the BPM makes it hard to just jump in sparse notes on easy.
damn i always did ghost taps cause i thought they were cool, like for the beggining of showtime ruler master (you should try it if you haven't) or beggining of intense voice expert
Honestly I didn’t know that ghost taps had a purpose I know I’ve seen people do it and I always wondered why and now it makes sense, I’m a band kid so I’m used to like tapping my foot and counting to 4 multiple times so this doesn’t seem any different but it’s funny because some songs I have tried to count 1,2,3,4 over and over to try to keep time but this seems like a better method it’s like a metronome and you don’t have to think as much
I have heard it be called free style too, i use it often in DDR and other games including Colorful Stage. im glad there is not penalty for it in this game.
I didn't realize this had a name! I thought this was just a silly thing I did, as I was a band kid throughout middle and high school, and did this rather than tapping my foot to pass thw time for the gap 😅
holy shit ive been doing this ever since i started playing rhythm games, i just like tapping to the beat :y and it's a SKILL??? im cracked god gamer :) (hasn't unlocked Master yaminabe or jinsei yet)
while playing pjsk envy i do ghost taps during the pause and part with sliders to fill in the gaps... wait this is inportant i just did it bc i was bord of the empty parts-
I'm still a relatively new player, and i know it's a bit off topic but i wanted an answer so i could get used to it in the future Is it better to play with wrists down (like on the table) or wrists up?
For me ghost taps are what destroy my accuracy lol, I tap my feet or nod my head instead tho. Edit: just after i pressed enter and posted this comment, you said the feet and head thing LOL, you read my mind
Might be wrong, but based on what I can see of the background image, and the difficulty, looks like Floren expert which is only on jp atm (again I might be wrong, also sorry it's late)
When there is a break, or gap in between notes just keep tapping on empty space and pretend that there is another note to keep your mind in the game. It says that in the video.
