Not sure if I should be posting in a thread that's been dead for a few months, but I wanted to mention that this bootcamp amazing training regimen actually works! I started yesterday and died after a few seconds, but after a day of nothing but this, my jumps, timing, and overall ability have increased significantly.

Sure, it's hard, but nothing comes for free. As for myself, I'll be moving onto another map in the training package. Someone save me.

Oh wow James Training xd

The spacing in some of these maps urks me, but I guess that's what you get for 08 maps.

At first I thought this was just some trolling attempt. But the songs are actually quite nice, and it does help to practice on them.

You really should try to pass it harder without any mods. Also this really helped me improving my skills back when I was starting to play Hard maps.

this really improves me alot.. when I finish the Breakdown bitmap, the other BeforU maps is easy to finish.. then I was able to finish some hard songs thanks to this.

I don't think playing over 3 year old maps really gets anyone prepared for playing recent maps since the style is completely different
just my opinion though and never tried this thing

Yeah, not very effective, James. Though, all I played was breakdown, and still can't pass it with a S/A. lol, but i can pass some insane maps. bu that's only because every time i go in multi player that's all people play -.-

Break Down is one of the hardest maps iirc. The maps in the pack are of varied difficulty, with some being quite tame. Try changing them up until you can FC all of them.

Even though maps today are different than maps when this thread was posted, this "training program" can still help with mouse/tablet precision.
I can say this from personal experience.

I'm curious as to if this is even really a good training anymore. I'm in the high 12k ranks, downloaded this song pack today, and within an hour FC/S'd every song in the pack. Maybe the general song style nowadays is far harder? I dunno, because I can pass things like Cirnos Perfect Math Class Insane, U.N. Owen was her insane, and strangeprogram insane and feel like those are substantially harder than these

^ Why do you need training then?

There's a limit to what someone can teach you. There aren't rules to being super pro, because the super pros are gifted. You'll need more than just osu to move to the next level.

Just FC'd all the maps. They're not too bad. Only thing is that in each map, at least one slider has a COMPLETELY retarded shape that just throws off my rhythm, and it's annoying.

Back when this was made, the top 50 scores on the highest difficulty on each map did not comprise solely of FCs. In fact, it wasn't anywhere close to that. It actually took quite a while until people started FCing these maps like crazy. Keep in mind that good-quality Insanes didn't start to become a real trend until sometime near the end of 2008, and then continued to grow until the peak of overmapping hell sometime in 2009. Now it's pretty standard for mapsets to have an Insane, compared to back then where two-difficulty mapsets was very common. Maps as a whole haven't gotten significantly harder since 2009, though.

Hooray for being an old fag! Oh, and this thread wasn't completely serious to begin with. It was actually partially a joke. The training worked, of course, but that's more because they were the best "hard" maps back then to practice with than anything to do with these maps being magical.

And this is why training is easier than the actual.

How can you even train when you play strangeprogram, U.N., Cirno's, etc.

Better to start off small than get crushed by the weight of these difficulties

I can't tell if people are just commenting to keep this thread alive, but if not; it works because it tells you to play the game essentially, and practice maps that have things that you're bad at lol. That's kinda how everything works.

James Training succeeds where other training regimens fail. I tried every other option, even P90X simply did not solve my obesity problem. Then came James Training and my entire life turned around. I'm now 160 pounds of all muscle and can bench 300 with one hand. Thank you James you are a miracle worker! If you are morbidly obese like I was, please give James Training a go!
