Hello guys, I am somewhat new to this (joined 1 month ago), and I am having a problem getting better at this game, I've reached level 31 and I still can only 'Complete' 1-4 stars map, I simply can't complete every map that has a 5 stars difficulty rating, I get a B and C and fail 80% of the times, how do I get better?
I've got S/SS on nearly every 1-3 stars map.
DPI: 2400
osu res. : 1024x768 Windowed
Mouse settings: default, with mouse acceleration disabled from REGEDIT
I also use Z/X for clicking and the mouse for moving, obviously.
Thanks in advance.
It is absolutely not obvious that you would play this way, since it is not the only way that good or great players play. Plenty of players click their mouse, and there are even a few tablet players that tap. It sounds a bit pretentious when you put it this way, though it's true that the style of play that you use is the most common.
As for getting better... Your settings are fine, but if you want more control of your mouse, which you may need to handle higher speeds, then consider a lower DPI. I'd recommend not using a DPI above 1600, and I'd suggest using one not above 1000. Your DPI is far too high, in my opinion. Do not change DPI often.
If you like the play style that you are using now, then you might consider trying a tablet. It's great for the Z/X playstyle, and many players find that they like it better than mouse. This is not true for all, though!
Practice on a wide variety of maps. You should probably try at least one new map a day. Don't keep wasting your time trying to beat a difficult map unless you feel that you are near to success. You will not get better by playing maps that are too difficult for your skill level. This is a common misconception that leads to a lot of head aches. Do, however, keep trying those insane level maps that you're probably finding difficult. Don't become scared of them and only play lower difficulties. If you keep playing more and more maps, then you will find that some match your skills perfectly, and while you're beating those maps you will learn the skills that you still need to beat others. Eventually you'll come back to those old maps and find yourself beating them like they were nothing. It's the real reward of practice in osu that the impossible becomes possible when you're not expecting it!
Don't be afraid to give some mods a try when you've beaten a map really well. I'd suggest waiting until you can do insanes for this, though, since it can discourage you. Playing with mods is hard, but they can help your accuracy a ton, simply because they help you practice one are or another more acutely than you might otherwise. Hidden, for instance, is great for internal rhythm.
If you play a lot, then there is nothing that can stop you from getting better. If you don't, then it will take a while. Keep practicing, and remember that having fun is the most important skill needed!
