Lol, what's the difference between taking any collection of maps and practicing them over and over and doing the same with these BeForU maps? In the end practicing the same maps over and over will only help you with ... wait for it ... those specific maps. In my opinion the key to improving is to diversify. Play as many maps as you can. (And FC them) Playing different maps and learning how to read notes fast is better than learning obscure patterns that only occur in one map imo.

If you're having trouble with a certain aspect of the game (Jumps, streams etc) then there are better maps to help with that and it would be more advantageous to focus your training on those areas instead of restricting yourself to maps by 1 random artist ? ;p

I realise that this thread was started in jest almost (or wasn't it?), but people seem to be taking it really seriously nowadays. These maps don't have magical capabilities. You would get the same results if you played other (quality) maps as well osu! is all about practice. As long as you play maps that you aren't fully comfortable with you will improve

One also has to remember that these maps aren't nearly as hard now as they were a year ago (On a relative scale)

Setting up gameplay specific training packs would be better imo. A specialised pack for jumps, a separate pack for deathstreams etc.

How many others have there been to compare with?

Off to try and beat this thing... even though I'm only ranked in the 6000 (but that's because I quit songs before the last beat if I don't FC them and I only ever play the same songs XD )

I will stick with my usual training mode,going from bottom to top difficult.
These songs in James training are WAY harder than most of ''average'' songs on Hard...I think i can finish some of the songs,but since my accuraccy will go down a LOT,i always give up before the end.
AND since i'm not anywhere close of FC any of these songs,i see no point in finishing it with crappy scores,i'm kinda more interested in raising my rank now
I will try this again when i get better \o/

I don't think I'll ever be able to do it after all, I'll give up for now. By the way ||Kite, Back then, the greatest shock to our reality was... ...that our lives were so primitive and simplistic it was laughing in our faces.

This thread is a serious joke, stop trying to be a rebel just because you got here late. Succumb to the will of James.

It must be hard to live in a world where you can't take skills used to complete a set of maps and apply them to others. The James Training maps are pretty effective because just memorizing them isn't enough for most.

That's what James wants you to think.

He wants you to think you think.

Woah it's pretty rare to see someone who know these lines

But I don't think I think that he thinks...

lolz I finally did JT today~ yay easy FCs <3
