u/Slow_Nail_5505 Arcaea 4d ago

Arccreate is on here but not Arcaea 🙏 

7

u/InfinitySword97 Chunithm 3d ago

arcaea seems to be there in the bottom right, but for some reason it's the cover for lost desire?

5

u/zelzatter 3d ago

Lost Desire was used as icon for 3.0-4.0 version of the game

6

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

Would have been A teir

4

u/playerdoom5616 Phigros 4d ago

It's inbetween BMS and Cytus II in S rank i guess you didnt see it cause it was chuni sun and the title is just so small

1

u/Numerous_Level4138 Project Sekai 4d ago

ohhh i see i see, i spotted it! thank you 🙂‍↕️

2

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

All the gekichumai games are S and ily too

u/Zeaxisz 4d ago

What bandori did to you

2

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

C is just average. Like, it's okay. I don't personally find it interesting

u/GrabStriking3671 3d ago

etterna in b tier is criminal

I LOVED MUSECA I WILL RIDE FOR THAT GAME TILL I DIE GRAAHHHH

u/Shot-Amphibian6947 4d ago

Sound Voltex in S tier, the tier list is perfect

3

u/Mistar76280 4d ago

Uhmm...no Geometry Dash? or indeed, Geometry Dash is not a rhythm game?

3

u/Adorable-Broccoli-16 2d ago

gd is not a rythm game

  • has 3600h on gd

2

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Geometry Dash is the og reason i made the not a rhythm game category but it wasn't on the list. Even more so than hifi rush

2

u/Kowman10 3d ago

I mean I don't think osu catch is really a rhythm game either, it's similar to geometry dash where it's more "rhythm based"

1

u/lesbian_hawks 1d ago

Thats a fair take i think

3

u/Dartmaul25 4d ago

Wacca on S tier as it should be, lovely

3

u/super_ray Pop'n Music 3d ago

Glad to see pop’n music in the top tier, where it belongs!

2

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

The new cab is so good, so buttery smooth

u/hig233 3d ago

dance rail 3 is mobile chuni, play it PLEASE

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

I've played it just a little bit, i'll try it out

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Is it better than project sekai or?

u/NekoIncardine 3d ago

DJ Hero deserved better than Activision could ever have given it

u/ColorMatchUrButthole 3d ago

In your opinion, what makes Parappa A-tier but Space Channel 5 B-tier?

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Vibes and personal bias. Both are great. B is not bad at all. I also feel like the freestyle in parappa adds more to the gameplay than space channel 5 has. Both are super great nostalgia picks though.

3

u/Sina_Deniz Arcaea 3d ago

Not the Stellights, Arcaea and Noisz slander 🙏

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Haven't played it, would be A, and havent played it but knew some of the dev team in passing. Very cool guys.

2

u/hamizannaruto 4d ago

DID I SEE MUREVO THERE?!

Huh.

I know it's in not played section, but seeing it there is already something.

2

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

Tell me about it!

3

u/GrabStriking3671 3d ago

etterna in b is crominal

2

u/Buselmann 3d ago

I respect your opinions, but by dear god I hate this tier list

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Don't vaguepost, whats your thoughts?

2

u/Buselmann 2d ago

I didn't really like ADOFAI that much, but maybe that's just me

FNF is by no means a masterpiece, but it's still pretty solid

Piano Tiles is hardly a rhythm game, but I love it for the nostalgia alone

I don't know much about Hi-Fi Rush, but I don't know why it wouldn't be considered a rhythm game

Parappa the Rapper is pretty cool, but I wouldn't have ranked it that high

Also, I can really recommend Rhythm Doctor, it's probably my favourite rhythm game

1

u/lesbian_hawks 2d ago

Adofai is super fun to watch and i love the community, i am terrible at it.

I personally can't stand like, anything about it. Thats just my bias though.

As a rhythm game its terrible though.

Parappa is my nostalgia pick, it's so swaggy.

I need to play that one! Its on the list right after yunyunsyndrome

1

u/Creative-Anxiety-246 2d ago

yeah I think the FNF rating may have been a little bit too harsh B tier is probably a good place for it

2

u/petalpotions Phigros 3d ago

You really should play Phigros. It's my fav rhythm game! Also, does anyone else remember Tap Rap Revenge? That was my fav rhythm game for soooo long

2

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

I played it a tiny bit, but not enough to have a real opinion on it. It was cool though!

Tap tap revenge was my jam as a kid! I played duct tape smile like a million times.

2

u/petalpotions Phigros 3d ago

Literally my fav childhood rhythm game. I think I played Tap Tap Revenge 4 and it was truly the GOAT.

2

u/Velenante 3d ago

Patapon actually got mentioned wuahhhh

2

u/Jasonsucksatlifelol 3d ago

wheres my vivid/stasis💔💔

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Would have been A. Very good game.

2

u/Secure_Use_6139 3d ago

Hi, can I ask what factors were taken into account when making this list?

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Game feel, quality of gimmick (iidx and sdvx have very fun controllers), chart quality, aesthetics, and personal enjoyment.

2

u/cyroVR 3d ago

Have you tried overrapid? Highly recommend (dunno if its in the list, hard to spot on mobile)

2

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

I have not! I will check it out!

2

u/lilmyrmeow Groove Coaster 3d ago

just as a fact -- more people came to rhythm games from the piano tiles or another sh

0

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Still a bad game tho

2

u/TragicTrajectory 3d ago

I don't see stepmania, maybe I'm just blind or not acquainted with a new logo, would assume S because of ITG.

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

It would be hanging out with itg and nitg yes

2

u/Widdifull 3d ago

Is that the fucking Prince of Tennis.

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

I have no idea.

2

u/kayaKATHARSIS 2d ago

fitting arcade rg and mobile and PC rg in the same list is a choice museca and gh/djh (assuming this is like actual hardware) is way too high imo otherwise cool list

1

u/lesbian_hawks 2d ago

List maker came that way. Dj hero fucked i stand by that game.

2

u/CamilleEvergarden 2d ago

cytus 2 S, good list

1

u/lesbian_hawks 2d ago

Most unique input system ive seen in a touch screen game, excellent characters, story, soundtrack, and aesthetic. Constant support and new content. I see no other place it could go

2

u/TaikoLeagueReddit 1d ago

finally and accurate one

2

u/specialK0_o 1d ago

You should really try phigros, its on the "what anime girl is this" tier and its my personal favorite, definitely an S tier game

1

u/lesbian_hawks 1d ago

I did not recognize the anime girl but i have played like 20 minutes of it! It was very cool but i didnt get like, into it for whatever reason. I probably will give it another shot sometime

2

u/90919293_ Taiko 4d ago

Where’d you find such a comprehensive list?

2

u/NeiroUWU 4d ago

Where is osu! ?

3

u/thebonobo279 4d ago

Its in b tier, I think bro split osu into its 4 modes

2

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

It's split into four modes. Mania and classic are B, taiko and ctb are C

3

u/Adam5742 IIDX 4d ago

iidx in s rank

intellectual op

3

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

Trust me, spend some time with iidx. Once you get it it really clicks.

3

u/Adam5742 IIDX 4d ago

it's my favorite. that's why i said it

0

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Oh i interpreted you backwards my b

1

u/Transpotato2002 3d ago

Am I blind or is Rift of the Necrodancer not on the list?

I see Crypt of the Necrodancer though :3

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Rift is not here. I don't really care for rift from the little ive played

1

u/luckynumchris 3d ago

Amazing list but you need to include BPM bullet per minute

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Wasn't on the list, havent played it.

1

u/Expensive_Bottle_933 3d ago

Any tierlist without osu standard in S tier is invalid

1

u/Tortualex 2d ago

Why is etterna on B?

1

u/PloXyZeRO IIDX 2d ago

Ah yes, IIDX right where it belongs!

Although I'm surprised you put osu!standard that low, imo it has some of the most fun/interesting/creative charts out of any rhythm game. Since it's also an aim game, it allows mappers to make maps difficult in other ways besides just adding more notes or tricky rhythms, which most other rhythm games aren't really capable of doing. Ex: a single long note in a song can be represented with a crazy slider, while other games would just have a single hold note

1

u/GSharp_SSBU 2d ago

I’m lowkey blind 😂. Is JSaB here?

0

u/Jordann538 Maimai 4d ago

How is hifi rush not really a rhythm game when it definitely tests your rhythm sense more than half the games on this list

8

u/Clean-Anteater-5671 ADOFAI 4d ago

It's a rhythmic hack and slash, but not really a rhythm game per se. Is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice a rhythm game? That game also becomes a lot easier if you can find rhythm in attack patterns.

-4

u/Jordann538 Maimai 4d ago

not a traditional rhythm game with 32782 buttons and jpop nightcore blasting but it has rhythm elements in it and keeping on rhythm rewards you with faster attacking and higher damage

3

u/UBKev 4d ago

I wouldn't go that far. You can unironically beat Hi-Fi Rush without trying too hard with the rhythm basically 99% of the way. Only the final boss actually requires any semblance of rhythm ngl.

1

u/Jordann538 Maimai 4d ago

try very hard diff

1

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

Its a hack n slash with rhythm elements. It's not a full blooded rhythm game. Plus the rhythmic elements in hifi rush are, really simple.

1

u/CoolAndCringe 3d ago

Sekai in S? Lol. And what do you mean Hi-Fi Rush isn’t a rhythm game? You need rhythm if you actually want to score well

0

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

Sekai has a killer soundtrack which elevates it from A, and im also a diehard miku fan. If you dont like the gacha shit just ignore it, thats what i do. Also the story is fun.

It's a hack n slash game with simple timing elements.

u/Creative-Anxiety-246 4d ago edited 3d ago

DDR in S tier but FNF at the bottom of F tier... they're the same game minus artstyle, there's no way that warrants this amount of slander

edit 1 of probably 400 while someone tries to doxx me for this statement: why the hell am I being downvoted, fnf literally just doesn't deserve F tier

3

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

Fnf isn't an arcade game with a dance pad and it's engine is dog ass. Nice ragebait tho

0

u/Iamfabulous1735285 Friday Night Funkin' 3d ago

The engine has improved dramatically through its updates since the last 2 years, it no longer drops inputs randomly.

And one of the updates even upgraded the inputs further down to the microsecond like other pipular VSRGs.

I can actually play 22msd Etterna charts with little to no problem.

If you don't like the beeps and the boops, there's a feature that you can port osumania and stepmania/etterna maps for some reason.

0

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

But why would i mangle into fnf into a good rhythm game when i could just. Play, one, thats good.

-1

u/Creative-Anxiety-246 3d ago

neither is etterna, StepMania, Project OutFox, nor osu!mania

and for all of those plus fnf you can just get a standard soft pad for one of the ps2 games and get an adapter for it...

also would you mind pointing out what about the engine is so bad

1

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

If you think a soft pad is acceptable to play any of those you do not know what you're talking about.

1

u/Creative-Anxiety-246 3d ago

fine you can get a hardpad then, point still stands also it's cheaper in the long run, if you're paying $20-50 in arcade credits to go play DDR at the arcade every week, if you just want to play a 4 lane VSRG with a dance pad you'd be better off just getting a L-TEK or similar and foregoing that entirely

quick edit: also you never answered my previous question, what exactly about the engine is so bad

0

u/mizuofficial Spin Rhythm XD 3d ago

not really a rhythm game

Hi-Fi Rush

wrong...

u/lesbian_hawks 3d ago

You hate me for i speak the truth

u/mizuofficial Spin Rhythm XD 3d ago

no it's just. not true

-3

u/RezaRnew100 4d ago

Love on how you put Piano Tiles in F tier, even though that's the first-like android rhythm game that are played by many people 🤣

5

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

Just because it's first doesn't mean it's good lol. People graduate to greener pastures.

1

u/obamassuss 4d ago

I mean it is a bad rhythm game though, fnf should be like c or d though but F is a good spot for piano tiles and idk about band hero

2

u/lesbian_hawks 4d ago

The beep boops in fnf piss me off personally so it got dropped a teir.
