Took me like 2 months to pass insanes decently, after like 5k plays.
I don't mean that I'm only just now able to do insanes. I was able to play insanes without no fail around 2 months ago (correcting myself from earlier when I said it was just one month ago) but I just get higher accuracy on them now. What I was really asking was if my accuracy is where it should be by now when playing insane songs. Sorry for not being more specific D: Also, should I be using mods on them by now? I can do hidden and doubletime on a few, but I mostly play without any mods at all (insane only). Sorry again if I'm being confusing ><[AirCoN] wrote:
I've been doing the same thing as you when I started, cept I was able to do insanes at around 4000 plays
By "insane" I mean when the mapper either names his difficulty "insane" or when it is easy to tell that the map's difficulty suddenly got much harder compared to the previous difficulty in the map. I don't know any real terminology for this kind of stuff, so I apologize for sounding extremely nooby. ;_;Ekaru wrote:
Due to what standards were back in 2008, I really have to know what you consider to be an "Insane" in order to adequately answer that question.
Modern-style Insanes? Like a week after I learned you were supposed to turn mouse acceleration off, which would be over a year in total, I guess? Keep in mind that this game is bloody impossible to play with mouse acceleration. After I turned it off it was like, "OMG this jump map is suddenly extremely easy!"
Passing with A's and stuff on a regular basis didn't come until very recently, though, soon after I started playing semi-seriously again for the first time in over 3.5 years. I've been surprised at how quickly I've improved, actually.
I play with mouse acceleration on. Never changed. Jumps are easier with mouse acceleration lol. (For me)Ekaru wrote:

It was an oldfag joke. ;P A ton of Insanes back then would be extremely easy by today's standards if it wasn't for their fucking tiny circles that are a son of a bitch to aim for. Hards made by mappers like James, DJPop, and Rolled were what you really wanted to play back then for a good challenge, and certain ones would even qualify as "Insanes" by today's standards.Kinenz wrote:

This^ but i had like a 5k play countLybydose wrote:
about a week or so maybe
It's natural for our hands to move in a circular motion than snapping to form a square. Though you could train on doing these things but it would be quite hardDefacer wrote:
I knew people had problems with squares but you are the first one that I can refer to - goddamn it's the same ! - I always do strange curvy movements when squares appear because im afraid i shall be late for the next one and basically on squares i look like a complete noob, so I guess that is rly some sort of a bad habit, also I don't like to wait on circles and sliders, so I basically like fast AR and low AR makes me suffer, I just can't imagine hitting a note and then being able to stay on the same place for like 0.5 sec and can jump to the other one, I always must do rapid movements across the map without thinking or waiting

I'm glad you understand my way of thinking.CXu wrote:
Tablet made me pro instantly, therefore it will make you pro instantly.
I too play 400 dpi with mouse acc on and also improve at a snail's rate. Hi5 bro!BeatofIke wrote:
I believe it took me around 2-3 months to pass my first insane (well an easy insane XD).
I'm a mouse player and I play 400 dpi with mouse acceleration on.
Keep in mind that, every player has a different improvement rate.
For me, I'm improve at a relatively slow rate.
PS: Tablet is NOT easy to use.
Nonsense. Tablet causes wrist pain and mouse doesn't. With tablet you have to hold the pen steady over every circle while mouse just sits there once you're done with your jump. Mouse is way more laid back.Unkind wrote:
The effort required to play with a tablet is like 1/15th of a mouse.
The part about wrist pain is not true for most players, but the thing about actually needing effort to hold the pen steady over every circle is true. Actually stopping at a circle is really damn hard at first with tablets.Aqo wrote:
