You're confusing reading AR to reading bpm. If you see a 290bpm AR10 map, it's most likely that you're having trouble planning ahead on the speed of objects that come out on 270bpm and not having trouble with the AR.

If you want to know if you can read AR10, just pick a random ranked map that you already FC'd, go into edit, change the AR to 10, see if it's still equally easy to FC for you.

(at the same time, that 290bpm AR10 map you had trouble reading will still be hard for you to read in any lower AR. In fact it will be even harder to read like that)

Airman is AR10. This map is also AR10. You can read Airman because AR10 works really well on this and because you played it many times

there is no such thing as "works really well on". He can just read airman since it's only 200bpm and has trouble on that map since it's 290bpm and spits out objects at a much faster pace, which he has trouble to plan ahead on. Once you fall behind and don't plan what to do with some object in time by the moment you need to deal with it that's what gives you the "oh this is too fast" feeling.

Take Atama for example. Reading AR9 won't help you to read the 240bpm patterns, nor would reading AR8 alone help you read the 200bpm jumps on LKs' Flower Dance.
GoldenWolf
Maybe. AR10 never bothered me on Airman while it bothered me on some others maps
Aqo
What's I'm trying to say is that it's not the AR that bothered you, it's the maps' sheer speed.
GoldenWolf
I understood that :p

lol @ people coming up with arbitrary criteria to determine who's average.

Sort the online user list by rank. Scroll about halfway to the bottom. If you're above that, you're probably above average. If you're much higher than that, you are certainly above average. Simple. Technically this would actually be the median, but who cares.

this would be considerably more legit if it didn't imply I was above average

Skills that an average osu!standard player is expected to have in 2012:

- Be able to get accuracy above 90% on OD7 on anything that is not a stream map
- Be able to stream up to at least 180bpm for quite a while (at least 20 notes)
- Be able to read up to at least AR9 comfortably
- Be able to aim at CS4 up to at least SV 1.8 per bpm up to 200 with up to at least 1.0 DS on object spacing

Skills for somewhat higher standard average osu!standard player:

- Be able to get accuracy above 95% on OD7 on anything including stream maps (even if it takes retries)
- Be able to stream up to at least 200bpm for quite a while (at least 50 notes)
- Be able to read up to at least AR10 comfortably
- Be able to aim at CS4 up to at least SV 2.5 per bpm up to 240 with up to at least 1.4 DS on object spacing, as well as CS5 on lower speeds than 180bpm
Yeah I still can't do that yet. Also, not a lot of people can even really do that properly. I would definitely consider that above average. As for the AR10 thing, most people have to play the map a few times before getting any sort of acceptable acc, including top ranked players. Try and make a 120 BPM slow song AR10 and then playing it, it isn't very easy lol.

I don't really know, someone told me that Airman was AR9, then he showed me this map: http://osu.ppy.sh/b/168486 and seriously I can't even read that fast enough to combo almost anything. If Airman is AR10 then what AR does that map has?

I don't really know a lot about AR more than if it's a higher AR notes appear faster, and that map has certainly more AR than airman, for sure.

If someone can clarify it to me, I would apreciate it :)

BTW: I can read Airman comfortably, although the jumps really break my combo.
AR10 is harder to read when the combo colors match the background colors. So in case of Airman, a dimmed or black background contrasts against the bright combo colors and is therefore easier to read for whatever reason (vision reflexes or something, I honestly don't know). Magia has combo colors that wont contrast against the background whether you dim it or delete it or do nothing to it. I know people are gonna call bullshit on me, but I'm pretty sure thats the main reason.

Edit: Oh yeah.. on topic.. I'm so bad, I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel of baddiness. Or I went through it and dug the ground and reach the center of the planet. Or something. But I do consider myself good at reading high AR.

There's a difference between knowing what you're supposed to do and not being able to do it because it's physically challenging and between not even being able to plan in time what you're supposed to do at all.

I don't think the average player is able to stream 180-220 bpm with 96% accuracy. I think the easy insane level is relatively correct. Don't forget that there are a lot of newbies in the community.

Hello Osu! community! Kinda funny that my first post goes to this thread, but I find it kind of fitting.

I've been playing Osu! since July and play fairly frequently. I got a raw PP of 2,525 (this really tells me nothing tbh :P) and I find myself to be pretty decent. So far my best "achievement" in my opinion would be to clear http://osu.ppy.sh/s/18689 with 89% on Insane, which I've been working on for some time.

As a new player, I would probably set myself around the avarage/slightly above avarage of up and coming players. Looking at Aqu's list though, I would probably be somewhere in the middle of the pack if not behind. I continue to strive for becoming better, but even after a few months of Osu! and years of StepMania, reading AR10 isn't even anywhere on my list.

The maps he/she linked are way out of my league. The first time I tried them I died in mere seconds.

Right now I'm bashing my head at http://osu.ppy.sh/b/86324&m=0 just for the fun of it and getting used to the speed, but imo the requirements for avarage and above that Aqu lists is just nowhere near accurate. Maybe for someone who's been around for a year or two and play at least once or twice a day. But that's just my view on it.

my skill level is shockingly below average for my rank

I'd say an average player can clear most normal Insanes with B's/A's by 7,000-12,000 play count.

I can't stream for shit. And I don't understand Aqo's last condition. Many people consider me above average though. If anything my high BPM HD DT accuracy is what makes me special. But maybe I'm just overrated....

There are technically two different types of averages for osu! standard. If you average the active community, I think the average is going to be a lot higher. With the active/ inactive community, there are a lot of players who are (and this is all just speculation) presumably worse than the active players.

All in all I think those are all fair conditions for the average osu! standard skill level. I would maybe lower streaming ability average since I think that 200+ is a lot more uncommon than this thread may be suggesting.

its because those maps are incredibly hard, and you will probably have to be around rank 1k to even think of getting an fc, (save for the last one, which is more of a top100 map)

Are you forgetting how many people play this game? If you are in the top 200.000 of the player rankings, you are above average already. Being able to FC a hard map puts you above average already, no matter what accuracy you have.

Not that being above average means much anyways. You generally aren't a relevant player unless you are in the top 98.168436% (roughly #2000 pp ranking or less)

That is statistically correct, but not in practice. You've got thousands of players that only show up for a couple of days or weeks filling up the bottom ranks, as well as alts and whatnot. If you want average, you'd want to look at the active portion of the community, including the users that at least stuck around for a good while.

OT: I am the epitome of average.

This is a pretty opinionated topic, but I'd like to know what is considered as average for osu! standard players now a days.

The people listed on the Top 10 most underrated players forum are clearly out of the window. I would even say the top 2000 players on global pp rank are top players.

Not to brag or anything, but I personally consider myself as an above average player (not qualified to be called a pro yet). But who knows, I might actually be just an average player who played too many maps. =P

PP probably isn't a consistent enough way to tell what a person's skill level is. I'm currently ranked in the top 3000s, but I've lost to players in the 5000s and 9000s before in multiplayer matches.

So yea, I'd like to hear from the public what you feel is considered average these days.

Here are some pinpoints what I consider which is avg for osu! standard :3
* To be able to pass hard difficulty songs with full combo without much of a problem.
* PP area (not sure about the exact number but) #20k-30k or so
* To be able to pass some insane songs
* Accuracy at least 90-95%
{* To not see nightmares about circles, sliders and spinners while sleeping.}

Well if you can easy play 160bpm maps you can say you're average, if you can play 180+ you're above average, and following more than 200 bpm depending on performance is good / pro.

Not to mention godlike class, starring: Cookiezi, Niko, rrtyui etc ;x

Ekaru
It really depends on if you're talking about the overall skill level, including casuals, or the skill level among core players. 'Cuz the latter's waaaaaay higher than the former (whooping Insanes VS playing average Hards).

The OP made it clear that they're asking for "overall" here, though, so if you did the stats I suggested earlier and then compensated for newbs you should land in the lower-to-middle Hard range (How well they do on these, though, is up for debate).
Posse
If we eliminate all those who played for a bit and quit, and those that are starting to play, I'd say average is to be able to fc any hard without issues, and clear all the "easy" insanes and at least be able to play (i.e. not losing 5 seconds into the map) some of the harder insanes (like some of val0108 maps i guess).

Now, if you mean average only taking into account the hardcore players, that's another matter.

The average player imo is able to FC hards with accuracies above 95% and regularly play normals.

I'm pretty sure someone who can kinda play a val song should be able to fc easy insane. I can't play val songs at all yet I can fc easy insanes without much trouble.

Trying to figure out my skill level based on what's going on here...
There are a couple AR9, OD7-8 songs that I can FC without too much problem, but others that I can barely survive on. I feel like using those as a benchmark doesn't work very well.

Example: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/41686 Scarlet Rose
This song is OD7, AR9. I can't even last 10 seconds in it.

This song is OD8, AR9 and I could FC it with enough tries. I have FCed any given part of this song.

OD and AR are mostlyunrelated to skill, its the actual difficulty of the map you have to look at

Skill is in my opinion not defined by what you can pass. If you are capable of FCing a map with a respectable accuracy, that's when you can call yourself able to play that map.

Agree, but not about the FC thing. If you are able to play a map and get a decent/high accuracy and a few misses then you can clearly able you play that.

Nah. Ever had the problem of never being able to FC a map like, after 39484 tries because of silly misses?

capability over actually doing it. I'm talking about being able to FC something in theory over having to prove it every single time.
Rate at which you can FC a map is also a skill to be considered, though.

No, a DT map is a map that's possible to FC DT. Whether you can or can't do it doesn't invalidate the fact that it's possible. If you disagree with this then Atama isn't even a map at all (because nobody FC'd it yet).

Poinsettia is a cool DT map in that case. I am sure that every average player should be able to FC it no problem.

nope, because nobody has yet shown that it's possible to stream 360bpm or jump at that speed. However nomod maps already exist at 270bpm and people can play them, so 180bpm or slower maps without spaced/long streams qualify for DT.
