So you do not understand, as you say, the logic behind wanting to FC and get S and that gives the right to call those people retards? As you wish. I'm not gonna argue further since i don't like how you begin your coversation.
I wouldn't really say they are retards because that's insulting, but from a moral point of view you usually want to set a goal like "Be able to pass Insanes" then "Be able to FC insanes" instead of just automatically saying "I'm going to S/SS everything" this is how people get stuck playing Normals their entire osu! career and then complain about not getting better.
agree!..

A is unforgivable. Used to. But lately if i played insane diff and got an A because missing the note near the end of song, i just let it be

I'm a bit too perfectionist



I have 0x B's, C's & D's. I almost always play the map for so long that I get an S rank from it

I should've done this from the start. Only problem is that I spent my first year in #Multiplayer, where it's impossible to avoid A's.
Pretty sure I've got at least 500 A's that are fixable with 1 pc. I just gotta find them.....

And I know exactly what are the maps which I have A on. I know their current accuracies, how many misses I have on them etc

;__;

Makes me feel obsessed about this game or something, when I know exactly where I have failed at some point

SS - Okay, next map please.
S - OMG, another 1x100 FC
A - 1 stupid miss
Lower ranks don't exist for me.

You're saying you're not obsessed with this game?

Being obsessed and aiming for perfection for no good reason are two totally different things.

In easy and most normal, yes I do consider B a fail. Hard I'm happy with B or above, Insane I'm just happy to pass :D (though to be fair, it is pretty much impossible to pass insane with anything below a C if you don't use easy, halftime or no fail)

Since this one was only a month old, I guess I might as well add my thoughts... I don't think that the grade actually matters. I don't really know why anyone would pay attention to it. Yes, I cared about it when I was playing to just pass songs, but if you are a good player, then you play to get an FC on every song, because that gets you the most score. An FC will normally get you at least an S. I think maybe you can get an A on it, if you get a really low accuracy FC. I think that a good player will tend to focus on combo, accuracy, and mods used, when considering if they have done well enough on a song.

That said, I will accept less than an A grade, and use it as a benchmarker, on songs that are so difficult that I am having a very hard time FCing them. Basically it's a way of reminding myself that I still need to work on that song. The same goes for an A, but if I had a great combo on an A, then I'd obviously do the Bs first, if I saw one. I have so many songs at this point that I just improve them as I see them on the list after I am finished with the new songs that I get.

I don't care for ranks. If I can pass the song and hit the notes to have fun playing it, I'll consider it done and move onto something harder. I hate grinding songs for FCs simply because then I am no longer playing a game for fun, it's more or less learning a song for a stressful school exam. I don't see people performing "osu!" on stage any time soon, so I don't feel the need to be prepared for it. Sure I like doing well, but a B is good enough for me.

There are so many insanely hard DT maps I don't even dare expect more than a B (and even some rare maps without DT). If you aren't content with a B the map is just too easy. That's what I think about it. :>

I don't consider map failed unless I ran out of HP. Having lower rank just means that this map is harder and I'm satisfied if I can pass it.

If I can at least get a C on Insane, I'm happy.

I sometimes don't really like A ranks on maps that take long and where you are able to get a lot of points, because you just get a pretty low score for the map (if you get a miss). On some maps I do get A's because I get too much 50s, but I don't really care about those A's, because I just still get a lot of points for FCing it.
G0r
I can see why someone who plays casually might not care about FCing a map, but if you play daily, or competitively (in the sense of caring about your score), then I don't know why anyone would set their goals below an FC unless the map is one of those particularly difficult ones that most people can't even beat. I admit that I don't always FC maps, because some are pretty hard, but if I can, then I usually will.
Mithos
I play taiko daily, and consider myself hardcore about playing harder songs. I just don't like wasting time on grinding maps I know I can FC, just because of 1-3 misses.

To me that's a challenge. XD

I just move onto harder maps, and I get my challenge like that. It also feels like I progress faster.

I agree. I suppose what JAKANYAN says is true 'cause I could my first S in my first month of playing osu! (My first S on an Insane being 8 months after I joined).
But in all seriousness, what I usually do is after I S a song, I put a mod on that. If I can S that, I can go on to tougher difficulties and rinse and repeat until I reach the highest difficulties
