Skillsets

Learn how skillsets work in Rhythia

Definition

A skillset is the ability to perform better in certain scenarios, usually as a consequence of practicing certain types of maps. It's based on a series of more general skills, associated with rhythm games:

• Stamina: The ability to keep playing without becoming drained.
• Control: The ability to adjust your cursor speed with ease.
• Aim: The ability to hit patterns precisely.
• Flow: The ability to adjust your cursor movement with ease.
• Reading: The ability to understand patterns just by looking at them easily.
• Consistency: The ability to keep your skill level consistent for long periods of time.

Types, patterns and required skills

Here's a list with all the available skillsets:

• Flicks/Jumps: Notes far across enough from one another (at least, 2 blocks)
• Stacks: Groups of notes stacked behind each other.
• Spirals/Streams: Long sequences of notes close to one another.
• Spins: Notes arranged in any type of way that can be hit with a spinning motion.
• Slides: Short sequences of notes close to one another.
• Tech: A map section that uses more technical patterns.
• Stamina A map section that goes on long enough to wear down your physical stamina.
• Bursts: Patterns which are generally faster than the map's current pace.
• Offgrid: Notes which are outside the regular 3x3 play area, thus looking smaller ingame.
• Quantum: Notes which don't follow the guidelines of the typical 3x3 grid.
• Vibros: Repetitive jumps which are relatively fast compared to the map's pace.
• Consistency: A map section that focuses on keeping your aim consistent.
• Reading: A map section which is hard to read.
• Timing: A map section that focuses on strict measuring and tricky rhythms.
• Unconventional: A map section that has some very unique pattern usage.
• Gimmick: A map section (or an entire map) that has some very specific pattern usage.

TIP

The more requirements a map has, the harder it will usually be, regardless of BPM. For example:

• Livin' la ViDRRR Loca has a rating around 40* (9.24* on PPv1)
• Kyu-kurarin (7_7 Bootleg) has a star rating around 60* (11.09* on PPv1) Both maps have a similar BPM, but Kyu-kurarin also includes more skillsets (7) than Livin' la ViDRRR Loca (3).
