To start off, I'm a primarily tablet-only player, but use xzx for triple stacks and streams. I'm fairly decent at jumps and doing triple taps (i recently discovered how to do them both much more consistently) and need help on getting down fast streams.

For reference, I've been playing the lower-difficulty xi- FREEDOM DIVE (i think the difficulty is [another]) and I can make most of the jumps/ triple taps in the song relatively decently (definitely not easy for me, but this part isnt anything that would make me fail), but i can never do well on the streams. Does anyone have any tips on improving these (aside from the "just practice it a lot")?

Your skill is not even nearly enough to play [Another] diff of Freedom Dive.
Before getting good at long streams, you need to get good at bursts(5-10 notes).

Some links on how to get better at clicking circles ~~accurately~~ in this ~~rhythm~~ game called osu!

So, first of all, I know my rank isn't very high. I play a lot of unranked and don't really aim to improve my rank, I really just like to play this game for fun. Heres a video of me playing (I know its shit, you dont need to enforce that): https://youtu.be/lOArFI5-1vY .I feel that if only I could figure out how to do long streams I would be able to do much better on this map. Can you also elaborate on how I can "get good" at bursts?

edit: sorry for the low volume. first time using bandicam.

You improve gradually by playing whatever you can aim pretty well while still being challenging
Trying to go for xxx_s1ckp4ss3s_xxx will develop you bad habits
But if you're playing simply for fun and not for improvement do whatever you want
Streaming is mostly about getting your technique right, feeling the rythm, aiming properly, and stamina (well, play more, duh)

Just get all 300 on whatever that stream is and then try some longer one
and don't mash your button(its okay to mash if you get all 300 on stream)
Accuracy+Stamina>speed

Yup that's exactly how I imagined a 160K rank player would perform on freedom dive./quote]
That play is absolutely horrible, don't go near that map for like 2 more years

ive gotta say im pretty impressed at your play i doubt even i could do so well with those patterns.
but

streaming 222bpm is not an easy task
like really
it won't come to you at rank 160k , especially when you've only played 7 hours
so answer is simple : play more

If you just want to improve on a specific map on a song (like in this case long streams), try going into the editor and delete all the notes before that part and save it into a new difficulty and practice it a lot.

Or play another map that's easier but still kind of the same and come back to Freedom Dive later on when you've improved.

I'm basically saying practice it a lot aren't i...

"I don't accept that improvement has stopped coming towards me. Even if it will stop coming towards me, it's because improvement never even came to me anymore, while I always practiced at my best. That's not a stagnation that is supposed to happen, only fools would think that way."

I'm sorry but we can't help you, there is no trick to streaming. Streams are the hardest pattern in the game , it will require lots of practice and time to get even decent. Remember that this is a physical exercise , improvement in stamina will come slowly and you won't even notice it , very much like hair growth.

Also the technique is really important , relax your arm , don't lift the fingers too much and try not to tap hard, the harder you tap the faster your hand will get tired. What really helped me was keeping my wrist on the desk and not lifting it while tapping , this improved every aspect of my streaming ability.
