I remember when I started osu and I showed James Training to my friend saying "This is completely crazy"
Now I show him my A on the map and he goes "You are completely crazy"

I just started to play osu! a few days ago when I passed by this thread and saw this course. I tried it and started to feel hopeless after playing just a few minutes of this course but I ~~still ignored the warning~~ persevered to beat a map of James Training. After a day of rigorous training all my hard work payed off when I started to beat a James Training map. (Particularly Red Rocket Rising!) From now on I'll continue with this course and hope to reach ranks like 500 - 2000 in the future!

Thank you so much James for making an awesome course that helped me and other people grow in osu!

Not sure if I should be posting in a thread that's been dead for a few months, but I wanted to mention that this ~~bootcamp~~ amazing training regimen actually works! I started yesterday and died after a few seconds, but after a day of nothing but this, my jumps, timing, and overall ability have increased significantly.

Sure, it's hard, but nothing comes for free. As for myself, I'll be moving onto another map in the training package. Someone save me.

You really should try to pass it harder without any mods. Also this really helped me improving my skills back when I was starting to play Hard maps.

Yeah, not very effective, James. Though, all I played was breakdown, and still can't pass it with a S/A. lol, but i can pass some insane maps. bu that's only because every time i go in multi player that's all people play -.-

Break Down is one of the hardest maps iirc. The maps in the pack are of varied difficulty, with some being quite tame. Try changing them up until you can FC all of them.

Even though maps today are different than maps when this thread was posted, this "training program" can still help with mouse/tablet precision.
I can say this from personal experience.

I'm curious as to if this is even really a good training anymore. I'm in the high 12k ranks, downloaded this song pack today, and within an hour FC/S'd every song in the pack. Maybe the general song style nowadays is far harder? I dunno, because I can pass things like Cirnos Perfect Math Class Insane, U.N. Owen was her insane, and strangeprogram insane and feel like those are substantially harder than these

Mafiamaster made me do this.

There's a limit to what someone can teach you. There aren't rules to being super pro, because the super pros are gifted. You'll need more than just osu to move to the next level.

Just FC'd all the maps. They're not too bad. Only thing is that in each map, at least one slider has a COMPLETELY retarded shape that just throws off my rhythm, and it's annoying.

Back when this was made, the top 50 scores on the highest difficulty on each map did not comprise solely of FCs. In fact, it wasn't anywhere close to that. It actually took quite a while until people started FCing these maps like crazy. Keep in mind that good-quality Insanes didn't start to become a real trend until sometime near the end of 2008, and then continued to grow until the peak of overmapping hell sometime in 2009. Now it's pretty standard for mapsets to have an Insane, compared to back then where two-difficulty mapsets was very common. Maps as a whole haven't gotten significantly harder since 2009, though.

Hooray for being an old fag! Oh, and this thread wasn't completely serious to begin with. It was actually partially a joke. The training worked, of course, but that's more because they were the best "hard" maps back then to practice with than anything to do with these maps being magical.

And this is why training is easier than the actual.

How can you even train when you play strangeprogram, U.N., Cirno's, etc.

Better to start off small than get crushed by the weight of these difficulties

I can't tell if people are just commenting to keep this thread alive, but if not; it works because it tells you to play the game essentially, and practice maps that have things that you're bad at lol. That's kinda how everything works.

Myke, imagine how good you could be if you didn't spend every second of the day giving your opinion on the osu! forums, and actually played the game.

wtf is with people attacking me. holy shit. I don't have a computer to play Osu! right now. Why am I the only fucking person who gets targeted for posting. This is insane. If everyone could just get something better to do besides worrying about my post count - that would be sick.

James Training succeeds where other training regimens fail. I tried every other option, even P90X simply did not solve my obesity problem. Then came James Training and my entire life turned around. I'm now 160 pounds of all muscle and can bench 300 with one hand. Thank you James you are a miracle worker! If you are morbidly obese like I was, please give James Training a go!

James Training. Damn.

Irritated beyond endurance, I gripped the table's edge, and prepared to use the technique which had been passed down by my grandfather, namely «Table Flip».
