Choosing Mania styles: practical examples
Both Mania rooms accept canonical .style <name> arguments in the verified v6.6.16 reference. Choose a style as an active gameplay player; the preference belongs to the shared room. See style definitions and exact syntax.
Inspect, choose, and check
- Type
.styleto inspect the current chart and available style choices. - Type
.style jackto prefer jack-focused future selections..jackdoes the same thing. - Type
.queueto see already selected maps, then.poolfor the eligible range and source. - Let the existing queue play out. The style change affects later selections rather than replacing those entries.
Canonical examples
| What you want | Argument form | Direct form |
|---|---|---|
| All eligible styles | .style variety | .variety |
| Repeated notes in one column | .style jack | .jack |
| Repeated chord patterns | .style chordjack | .chordjack |
| Stream-focused charts | .style stream | .stream |
| Long-note-focused charts | .style ln | .ln |
| Technical charts | .style technical | .technical |
| Experimental Farm, when enabled | .style farm | .farm |
Example: the next map is not Jack
You type .style jack, receive an accepted preference message, and see a technical chart next. First check whether it was already in the visible queue. Keeping queued maps is intentional.
If a later fresh selection differs, the strict style may be exhausted. The bot prefers strict matches, then weaker evidence, and then other native styles to avoid recent repeats. Chart labels are heuristic and can overlap. See style exhaustion fallback.
Example: Farm does not promise easy PP
.farm uses an experimental, confidence-aware ranking signal. It still respects eligibility and freshness. Highest eligible fresh farm-index candidates are preferred before weaker-feature fallback; actual PP depends on your score and the chart. Raw 4K and 7K index values are not interchangeable.
Missing or unavailable farm evidence may prevent that selection. Use .variety to broaden the room, or ask a moderator about active filters. See how Farm works.
Example: a Standard percentage mix is rejected
.variety 70 30 is a Standard Farm/Stream mix. Mania Variety means all eligible structural styles, so type .variety without percentages. Vetted converts currently belong to Mania Variety only; style-only and Farm-only selections remain native. See converts.
Which spelling should you use?
Use the canonical names above today. Expanded spellings such as .tech, .longnotes, and .style long notes belong to the staged v6.6.17 update until deployment is confirmed. A planned alias is not proof it is active in your room. Unsupported categories such as stamina are not implied.
See 4K, 7K, and unexpected styles.
Recognize the structures
Use the visual pattern atlas to compare chart structures and understand how heuristic scores can overlap.
