Ex. http://osu.ppy.sh/s/42494 That song's girly, but it demonstrates my point nicely. Look for songs like that one and just practice.
that map only has 3s, i dont concider 3s to be real streams, otherwise i could stream 240 BPM.(oh i wish i actually could)

Stacks of 3, 5 and 7 and even 9 can be done to perfection without you being able to stream imo

The goal is just to get a feel for the speed and to show the kinds of songs to look for - ones where you can easily sync your taps with the music. If I was thinking of length then I'd be an asshole and link this:

Actually, if you upped the AR and OD to 8 via the Editor then it's probably pretty decent training. That map has aged pretty well compared to most maps from its time.

Do you see just how much sense you are making? Also: If you get a lower accuracy by doing it, isn't it already a penalty?
WTF? How is a legit playstyle a terrible tactic? I am the one losing respect to people who blame others for playing the game in a smart way.
Ohh, and for the 1000th time. If done correctly doubletapping actually is HARD, and it doesn't necessarily yield 100s. I'd like to see one single hater who is actually able to properly pull it off.
10/10 for not understanding a single word I said lol... I clearly said that using a keyboard is a terrible tactic!

How is double tapping even trying to follow the rhythm of a song? It isn't it's a cheap way to slip past streams and not even have to worry about the rhythm of a song.

Playing a rhythm game by not following the rhythm is totally smart.

Ridiculous...
silmarilen
you have to follow the rythm of a song to be able to double tap, you still have to tap in the same BPM as when there is a single tap pattern.
JAKACHAN
I give up trying to argue it because clearly some people are just too reliant on it.

I still stand on my advice for the OP to just practice and don't try to use some "Special Technique" to improve your streaming.

random other off topic thing, but is it just me or is playing consistent triplet streams harder than actually streaming wtf

also i just randomly seem to get better at streaming. One I just suddenly feel like I can stream faster and with more accuracy. it's kinda weird. tho i guess i do do a lot of doubletiming/play fast songs.

Streams are more consistent when constant triplets are a little more to register therefore it ends up being harder to stream consistent triples than a stream of the same magnitude. Also, some people usually start every stream with the same finger they single tap with (I do this) so you end up putting more strain on that 1 finger to start each triple right after ending the previous one with it, but this only applies to those that play in that certain way.

The bottom is more of just a conditioning effect :P Not every time you improve it's going to come over time. Pretty much every time I have improved at streams it has been some randomly large improvement (Like 140 max to 180 and then 180 to 200 and so on) it just depends on the person. Some people will improve slowly over time and then others won't improve for a while and then all of a sudden they get a big jump in speed or endurance.

Once again it all depends on the player.

For finally contributing something to the topic here are some awesome practice maps for long streams:

my training map can't be downloaded due to file size, here is a working link: http://puu.sh/EPJx terrible copy paste jobs but I don't care.

Also I'd say I can stream relatively well, on a really good day I can keep 300bpm for 20-40 notes and keep 220 for 300 or so. My suggestions:

Relax - this is the most important thing for long stream at 220 bpm or less.
Raise your ring and pinky fingers - fairly certain this is common knowledge.
Try to keep your wrist at the same height as your fingers - this helps with long streams
Completely ignore steps 2 and 3 if you are trying to do over 270 bpm

Not quite remilia-scarlet but I'd say I'm pretty damn fast still.

oh bonus tip for weird people like me: pull your shoulder out it's socket when you stream.. It hurts so much AFTER streams for me and I can't help it.

I thought I could stream 230 when I was doing 5 and 7 stacks comfortably.

Ha.
Heh heh, same. If that were the case I could stream 250 bpm no problem.

Alas, my top is probably 140 on long streams (200-300+)

Stream more and long without stop for as much as possible.

See that post by Tom94? It's very good. Play those again and again and again (take breaks if the carpal tunnel starts kicking in). It helps a lot, for both speed and stamina.
RaneFire
If your fingers start getting sore and not just tired, break is recommended! I made my fingers stiff for a week. Couldn't do any streaming :(

300 bpm? uh
Tsukimi Luna
my fingers are retarded....for some reason
Everytime i just got on osu... i wont be able to stream 180bpm
But after some warming up i can even do very fast songs sometimes....
But theres one thing... My fingers is not designed for long streams

Eg.) i can stream mad machine on the quintiple notes and quadruple notes.... but i cant even stream most deathstreams that are like 192bpm > Usatei 2011 (Extra)

I can even stream 290 to 300 cpm triplets and quintiples at my peak
But never deathstreams...
Always and will be my weakness alawys orz

Idk maybe i just need more practice i guess......

I can stream 500 bpm with triplets... but that doesn't mean shit because that isn't streaming >_>. I'm not much of a streamer anyways


like kriers said, streaming does not mean triplets, 5's, or even 7's or 9's. Streaming is maintaining a constant and accurate speed for a relatively long time (at least 20 notes or so? idk, maybe more)

I don't see why it's hard to believe. Like I mentioned this isn't an everyday thing. I think that's important to mention as well - don't expect to be able to stream the same speed every single day; sometimes it's just not gonna happen.
G0r
Doesn't seem hard to believe to me. I agree that it's not something you do every time, but who is going to gauge their speed by what they do 100% of the time? Every one screws up sometimes.

what truth.

practice,again ang again when you can pass 220bpm go higher try to pass 230 and 240...nothing else

JAKACHAN wrote:

Unfortunately ,true again..
for example Niko- can singletap 300bpm 1/2
I can 220 bpm 1/2
Or i know people who play less than I ( about 1year) but stream faster..and i cant do anything ,just accept it
sometimes i want to break my finger

Depends of my mood but most of the time I can't even keep 180 bpm long streams. It's like fingers getting "confused" (z x z x z x z x z x x z x z x z x x z x). Meh I just can't stream well.

Yeah, 'Chipscape' is kind of a horrible mess of a map, so one's ability to stream doesn't really come into it; more one's ability to anticipate rhythms which are all over the place.

if you wanna fc Chipscape ask Renard and learn Mind Control

Yes! New stream practice maps! Glad I read through this. Nothing more enjoyable than streaming ten thousand notes a second.

That aside, when I feel like practicing my stream without playing osu! I open up this bpm tapper and go as fast as possible while keeping the sound consistent. My max average speed is around 1,000 bpm (on the tapper, not on osu!) on the keyboard, but I normally play mouse only so I'm faster on that.

The real problem is consistency. Getting fast is easy, getting not 50's and 100's is hard. I just train by going up in 2's at particular speeds. 3 clicks, 5 clicks, 7 clicks etc. at 240+ bpm until I can consistently get them.
