Does being bad at rhytm games mean I'll be bad at playing music?
| ABSOLUTELY not! For context, a YouTuber pianist (Animenz) has some godly talents in piano but isn't the best at BanDori (BanG! Dream). Of course, it might be because he has decades of experience in piano, contrasting the mere months he has with BanDori, but it shows that both are only correlated — and won't affect another.
| no way, rhythm games aren't the same as playing an instrument. just keep practicing at both and you'll be good at both
| meanwhile.. I have a friend that really good at rhythm game (osu mania and deemo) but is he good at playing music instrument? nope. He can't even different different note in piano
| You know I heard a lot about a musician who's not good at music rhythm game and a rhythm game god who's bad at playing music, but that just means you can be good at one and not the other. Neither of that tell us if someone who's inherently bad at one might not also be inherently bad at the other.
They're very different skills, yeah, but there are some shared skills too as op said, dexterity and a feel for rhythm.
| I think rhythm game and music instrument in kinda different in it's concept. Where rhythm game is actually action game where you need to press button to match the rhythm you don't need to know pretty well about music and almost everyone can play it, where the real music instrument you need to learn the basic like note key and stuff. But I think you can be good at both if you learn and practice both of them.
just keep practice I guess, everyone is bad in the beginning
| Guitar hero player here, nah dude being bad at rhythm games doesn't affect whether you'll be bad at an instrument. I'll be honest though learning to slide my hand down for that orange note did kinda help playing actual guitar, but it's something I would've learned later either way.
| rhythm games will learn you timing.. it can be + in playing a music, but if you won't learn notes, how to press buttons correctly, and remembering how to play instrument, and do it right, timing is about nothing xd
| Rhythm games are more about accuracy than rhythm. The music is only there to keep you entertained, but you don't need it to play the game.
| Slash can't play Guitar Hero so...
| Nah g/u/to, give learning an instrument a shot. Knowing how to manipulate a device to produce nice sounds is a superpower

| Somehow it feels that way. Both require a great deal of manual dexterity and rhythm. Can you even improve on something like that? Feels like something inherent to me.
