I heard that mouse only wasn't a good way to play, and plus playing with just mouse was hurting my hand, so I mapped my left click to spacebar, and didn't notice that you could click with the right mouse button as well.

Basically I was trying to single tap my way through everything by pounding spacebar really fast. Streams baffled me because I couldn't figure out how people could tap one key that fast.

zx was something of a revelation :roll:

I started to pass insane songs when I learned that you can use two buttons for faster notes. Now I can fc most of the easy insane songs but still can't do 180+bpm insane songs.

Four months in I started passing Insanes like normal. Two months later I was getting S'es on the wrong rig. Another two months later I was regularly first-try S'ing Insanes since I don't repeat play most of the time.

Now I'm trying to regular first-try SH Insane but it's hard as hell.

I'm still bad. \:D/
On a more serious note, it took me some time before I could even get past 1/4 of insane songs. Never been too good at stuff. orz

hmmm ...
I guess after 3-4 Months ... hard to say ...
Passing Matryoshka on Hard i'd say (the first (real) challenge for myself)

Now, probably passing those shitty maps i've mapped myself xD

I was able to FC most hard/insane maps, even the streamy ones, however jumps were really hard for me and i could barely play them.

I started pretty well, after 3 months or so i could FC quiet some insane maps with over 95%. After changing mouse and keyboard due to an accident with tea and sugar, i couldnt fc anything, not even 4 stars maps; thought my acc hasnt dropped.

I probably have a lot more plays than anyone did in 4 months lol, (13.5k) . Mostly from retries for high accuracy, and top 40. I have 65 or so top 40s so far. dunno why i care for top 40s at this point~

I always played songs that were too hard for me to FC in hopes I could improve my skill at a faster pace. I'm still sort of doing that. I could FC some insanes but I can't say I ever tried very much.

Starting out. I didn't have even a moderately good mouse, attempted Hards ~ Insanes. Got quite annoyed at my performance.

SPOILER
Decided to enjoy CtB instead. After 1-2 months I rose to #2000. Another 1-2 months I was in the #100's. Continued for another while and settled at #24 Overall for CtB.

And only in the recent months I've decided to pick uo osu! again since I have an acceptable mouse. Taking it very very casually since my focus, time and energy mainly goes to mapping.

After 4 months? Hmm... Let me look...

http://osu.ppy.sh/s/3340

I could pass that IIRC.

http://osu.ppy.sh/s/3681

That for sure.

http://osu.ppy.sh/s/4080

I could do the stuff after the first 10 seconds, but when it came to the stream at the beginning, I often lost so much HP getting through it that I failed soon afterward.

http://osu.ppy.sh/s/3207

I could do the Hard, but the Insane was beyond me.

Gosh, 3-4 months... That feels like it was years ago... Which is why I had to use my maps to remember. :P

I used to be extremely good at CtB, played it non-stop and since I stopped playing it, I fail to even get a S on "Jun Wakita - Shounen A = Another" ;_;

3~4 month after i signed up i stopped playing lol, at that time i can't barely even pass hard diff maps. I continue playing after a few months, around this January after i saw the top 20 player video on youtube. That's when i can pass an insane map \o\

After 3 months I could easily FC many insane maps, few even on my first try, but back then I was totally addicted to osu!, playing at least 15 hours a day everyday wasn't good for my health. Now I switched to iPad osu :c

During my first months of osu! I played extremely little. I could only play normals and easys.
But..
Right now I can S every 3rd Insane I play (but not over 180 BPM). Mostly on my first try. Hards are SSable (but not over 200BPM, I'll only get S on those, mostly.) But I hardly ever play hards. That's why I have so little SS's. I'm pretty good I guess..

i laughed quite a bit actually after looking back at all these random replays i had from like 9 months ago. i sucked a lot. i also got a C on a normal difficulty.

I had this like 6 month hiatus tho for some reason after my first month of playing (that even I can't remember why. probably I began to play some other game, but idk what that was).

..but then i seemed to have this epic skill level increase... from like november to december. i was getting C's on normal on like my 3rd month of playing, but then i was doing insanes and things like 2 months later pretty easily i guess. my osu skill went through like puberty or something ._. and now i'm just slowly getting better (at osu and at mapping :3)

If I consistently played for 3-4 months like I did before, then I'd be pretty good. But then my computer decided to not be new anymore and I had this darn thing called a life and then that all just went away and I suck again ;D.

I have some old scores indicating that I was able to FC hard songs at that time. Insane maps came later, and nowadays I still have some difficulty to FC all of them :(

Now I FC'd it. (don't mind the chat, okay ?)

Still I'll do a small history

09-11/10 : I sucked a lot.
11/10-01/11 : I got better but I wasn't able to pass any Taiko Oni
02/11-04/11 (Before the TWC) : I got some skills around one technique. - I started Standard Play here.
04/11 (After TWC) - 05/11 : I tried some new playing techniques, while improving my skill
05/11 - 07/11 : I am trying harder techniques, and playing VERY hard maps.

I can still barely FC insanes, just depends on how insane the insane is lol

And it would also require me raping the retry button

Yes :). I have started with a normal difficulty to understand how i must play and then i chose only hard diff with slow BPM and even spacing and no jumps and no streams lol. and after my control gets better everytime i played more difficult songs. But i don't know about now because the beatmaps are really really difficult and there are jumps and streams everywhere. haha

I still can't hit streams and massive jumps all over the place. I've been playing this game since the start of the last month. Hard difficulties are usually fine, but as soon as an insane difficulty involves a load of streams, then it's curtains for me. I still can't SS much, as I have a habit of lapsing at the most inopportune moments.

Keep playing regularly and keep challenging yourself. You'll be fine. Get a better mouse/tablet, if that would help.

I think I was still unaware I could use both buttons on my mouse to hit notes on the first 3-4 months lol. I would be hitting 3-note streams with single clicks and fail hard on streamy maps. I was pretty bad. I wish I saved my replays from the past to see how much I improved.

It was only until recently did I learn to complete streams consistently which explains my sudden increase in # of plays per month because the game became much more fun.

Hmm I was really bad when I started half a year ago then I stopped and started again during this Summer.

I can handle some Insanes but can only complete it around 85% Accuracy D:

Nowadays the average is FC insanes after 2 months of playcount. I only could do that after 1 year+, though

I don't play much standard, and I suck at it, I can only play easy and some normal maps... =__= everything else is too fast for me. and I've been playing for about a year. but I have up on standard pretty much, after not even a month.

catch the beat, I can't do most insane difficulties. also can't play with any mods on hard stuff. double time on some normal maps.

I remember signing up for osu in February of 2011. But I didn't start to seriously play until 3 months ago. I can play a lot of songs on insane but some are still too hard for me. As for FCing insane songs, I can for a few. I think it really depends on the beat map.

after 3-4 months SSing hards was pretty easy for me, but insanes too me over a year to be able to regularly FC them, mostly because i fail at streams.
