What is Tachi?

Tachi refers to the code that powers both Kamaitachi and Bokutachi.

What's Bokutachi?

Bokutachi is an instance of Tachi designed for Home simulators, such as BMS or USC.

What's Kamaitachi?

Kamaitachi is an instance of Tachi designed for Arcade games, such as beatmania IIDX or Sound Voltex.

Why are they separate?

Kamaitachi is a private score tracker, and Bokutachi is not.

What is the point of Tachi?

Tachi is a score tracker and analyser for various rhythm games. It was designed out of a dislike for existing websites that display your scores. I think that scores are integral to the rhythm game experience, and that displaying them properly is just as important.

The benefits of Tachi include features like Sessions, which break your scores up into groups of when they were played, and Goals which let you set automatically updating targets for yourself!

There are way more features that Tachi has, and you can read about all of them here.

Do I have to be good to use Tachi?

There's a prevailing notion that analysing scores in depth is only for 'pro' players (or likewise).

In reality, it doesn't matter how good you are (or aren't), being able to see your progress and analyse your scores in more detail will help you pick out strengths and weaknesses in your skills as a player.

You do not need to be a 'pro' at all to benefit from Tachi's analytics!

Are there rules?

Yes.

You should familiarise yourself with the rules before using any distribution of Tachi.

The rules can be found here.
