So I had an interesting thought and decided to put it into action. I'd like some feedback and opinions on the matter.
I have a musical background and I'm positive I'm not the only one with a musical background playing Osu in any way but with Taiko in particular that because of the way the gameplay is set up it wouldn't be hard for someone to exploit the system. What I did was I slowed down a random beatmap of higher difficulty that I had and notated the beats onto sheet music. I placed the red notes lower and the blue notes higher.
This is but a small example but because of this method I was able to select the Hard Rock, Flashlight, and Hidden mod and never have to worry about looking at the screen. This of course sky rocketed my score into the 2nd place score on my first attempt while barely trying.
I'm curious if people think this is considered cheating, pp farming, or simply using my musical background in a strategic fashion. I'm also aware that with a little more effort it could also be done on Osu Mania.
I'm personally of the mindset that it's exploiting the musical background in an unfair way to other players. I would never continue to do this because I wouldn't consider me rank earned but nonetheless I wanted more opinions.
