When I started osu!, I played a small amount of easy maps before moving to hard maps. I remember the last hard map I ever played was Nehanshika. After that I swapped to tablet + keyboard and my accuracy started going down, but eventually I became better and reached my current (93.39%) accuracy. I guess if I were to estimate, it would have taken me about 1.5-2 months before I started insanes. I mostly stick to insanes which I can pass in an effort to raise my PP though, and I'm currently playing barely passable songs (at least for me), so my PP is dropping fast.

How long did it take you to pass Insane songs?

got my first S on Insane the day I got my tablet... lol
I rarely aim for passes :I
I mostly aim for FC's which take me around 1-*** amount of retries to achieve (Insanes & stuff on DT)
Current avarage for me is 41 retries

I really should try to get rid of that mentality. It's quite hard since I'm a bit of a obsessive perfectionist 
Look at it the other way
If you can FC, then it's too easy for you

No. Most of the time I have to retry so many times, coz I'm not easily able to FC that song with a decent accuracy.
And getting accurate results is quite important for me.
Besides, most of the map that yields a non-pass try for me are maps with ridicilous bpm & long streams. I suck at those, therefore I mostly aim for FC's on every map

if you can FC something means nothing, if you cant FC it, no matter how much you try its too hard, if you can fc it with less than 9x% acc its too hard
if you can fc it with 98+ acc its good.
ofcourse this is purely subjective, and there is no definition of when a map is too hard or too easy for you, which everybody knows ofcourse.

I don't even bother playing insane man.
I only get like, the first 10 notes or so.

I still can't pass most of them, but hey, I'm working on it.
I think I started passing insane after a month of playing, and fcing it half a month later. Guess I'm average?
Within the week. Though it was much of an easy Insane, so not much pride in that.
Around 2 weeks with the tablet I started to pass insanes (before I was getting nowhere using mouse only a week before), and I started to FC (easy) insanes around 2 weeks after that.

A long time. I don't think I could pass most of them even at 10k play count.
It depends on the BPM of the song for me. I didn't start passing 200+ BPM songs on Insane until last week ... Which was 3 months after I got back into osu. Just keep playing songs that are too hard for you but not impossible and you will get there :3
It took me a week,and you have to change your mouse speed and adjust to those speeds
You iz doin' fine.
No idea how long it took me. Maybe, 3-4months ago was when I started getting past em?

About 3k playcount for easy insanes, 5k for med-hard insanes. I'd say in months but I randomly quit for months at a time so that's not really a good estimate.
(Constant Playing)
From (I Suck) to Easy: 2 Weeks
From Easy to Normal: 1 Month
(Played Not So Very Often For A While)
From Normal to Hard: About 4 Months
I then stopped playing for months (Didn't stop playing completely but just not much...)
Then December and January 2013 I became really active.
So to my point:
Hard to Insane (not all insane songs): 7 Months
Right now though im practicing on my skill for a week now and I started to then play more and more insane songs....
But I don't save them because I'm offline
I do though save easy and normal songs because I play with my friends on multiplayer and they can only play easy and normal

It's difficult to read the damn thing and the amount of stamina you need to clear the beginning of the map is high. Even on the off chances I manage to pass the intro, my accuracy is already in the low 70s.BRBP wrote:

Easier Insanes - Level 80 or so
Regular Insanes - Late 80s, early 90s I am here
Insane+ - Not yet
Top Tier Insane - Never
I don't really keep track of what time I start to move up difficulties, but I can remember levels pretty well. I think I started playing Easy Insanes at around 8,000+ playcount, but I'm not 100% sure. Even now I'm still practicing Regular Insanes while my other friends with a similar level are already able to play Insane with Mods (or at least a lot better than I do).

Started playing straight on normal/hard difficulty, currently (about 1,000 plays) passing happily easier insanes and (some) normal level insanes.
Played on a super crappy comp with a ball mouse for a year and could barely pass hards. ( Took me 3 tries to FC the tutorial song... Not to mention I couldn't see sliders with the exception of the approach circles) After quitting for a year I could pass easy insanes in two weeks. Turned off epp and could play normal/hard insanes after two more weeks.
Started casually playing somewhere in September. Just now, 5 months and 700 plays later, I passed an easier Insane difficulty for the first time. 
I took so freaking long that I don't even remember.... started in Dec 2012
Started at the eve of 2013, playing a few hours a week and getting 350m ranked score, i can FC easy and normal insanes with respectable accuracy.
I passed http://osu.ppy.sh/s/43812 after a week of playing. It felt even better than getting promoted from bronze league in sc2 
About 4 days for beginner insane songs like 110 bpm, then it was just a climb :p
what the fuck it took me 7 months only to pass easier insanes. you silly people
maybe they mean the easy insanes that are 4 stars difficulty rating
it took like 15k playcount to read ar7 for me

Hoping 9 days isn't a bump.
It took me 8 days to beat the first song that I ever made it a goal to beat. It wasn't named "insane", but had an obscure name.
It took me 14 days to beat something actually named "insane" and when I did that, I beat two others on the same day.
I beat that DJ Genericname remix of "Dear You" in about 29 days. I think this was a few days after I turned off mouse accel.
I beat Gold Dust with an A after EXACTLY 2 months.
And if that's still not "insane" enough, the last landmark for me was Totsugeki! Glass no Kneesocks Hime! on Bunny Style. It took 4 months and 20ish days to pass it in general.

The day I bought a tablet I could pass/FC the easier insanes. Too get into the harder songs that took me a month or so of getting used to my tablet and finding the perfect area.

After about 2 weeks I could clear easier insanes. It took about a month for me to scrape through the harder ones, and now I can pretty much clear any insane (other than the ridiculous) with respectable accuracy.

what happened to papaya-shaped sliders

7000+ plays and I'm finally at the point where I can get Bs and As on the maps in this thread and similar difficulty. trbl
I think I needed about 5-8k plays until i got my first insane map finished without failing...Can't exactly remember, I have to admit.
But still I finished this one insane map, but failed on a few hard maps.
The map difficulty is just so different from map to map o-o"
Thou' I always am happy, when I finally manage to finish a map, that I wasn't able to finish 1 or 2 months ago :3

Lol 1000+ play passing Hatsune Miku - Netoge Haijin Sprechchor (insane) am i good enough??
Around 2.5k plays if you have a good sense of gaming in osu. Time? About 1 and a half months. Just keep on practicing. ~
About 2.5 months for me to beat one easy insane beatmap on standard.
The first day that I actually made a real attempt at CtB was the day that I could play insane maps.

Pass insane when I switched to tablet.... that is, 6 months...
i did insanes after 2.5k plays when i realized you should turn mouse acc off
^ hahaha
well as for me - from 1 pc to 300 pc in a row :3

took me about 1k-1.5k to pass insane, then almost 4.5k to get really good accuracy on said insanes, including sightreads
still terrible at streams though ( can only do 160 bpm ) but I can single tap 265 somehow

It didn't take me too long (~.5k plays), but I was playing osu!droid for a long time before that. It took me around 400 or so plays to get used to a mouse and keyboard instead of a touchscreen.
I still can't pass some streamier maps because I got used to streaming with my right hand (196bpm comfortably), but on a computer I have to stream with my off hand (186bpm, and it hurts).
I got much, much better when I turned off mouse acceleration. DO THAT.

good job
it will take me ages to do but I SHALL PASS!

It really depends on the player. Personally, I played on and off for a few years without devoting a whole lot of time to osu! (less than 3000 plays over two years), and I could barely pass insanes, if at all. But after recently getting a tablet and racking up over a thousand more plays with it I can FC the average insane in a few retries, and I can FC easier ones on the first read if I'm really on my game. But I've been playing rhythm games and actual instruments for almost ten years, so rhythm recognition and finger dexterity were non-issues for me; it was more about learning to read beatmaps and getting my mouse/pen hand up to snuff.
Heck if I know, like around 3 or 4 months I think. I was passing several insanes and hards, and then about 3 weeks ago I realized I can turn off mouse acceleration XD Took awhile to get use to, but it really does help ^^
I only know I can turn off mouse acceleration now... That's why I thought tablet was much easier.
Around 5 months or so. Still can't pass some of them but I keep practicing everyday x3
Just did my first Insane today, which is my second day playing osu!. I might try different insane songs from the ones I've been doing to see I can pass more. I get close to the end of them, but not able to finish them yet . Improving every day with 309 play counts (Most of them are just doing the same maps over and over )
. Improving every day with 309 play counts (Most of them are just doing the same maps over and over )-GN probably could pass them on his first play of the game.
I started playing osu back in 2010 on a pretty crappy setup and couldn't really play the game at all. Long story short I ended up getting frustrated after about 13k plays and quit for a year. The most I could manage when I quit was passing hards nomod with an A rank. After coming back I managed to start playing insanes about 2-4 weeks after coming back at approximately 16k playcount.
I can pass some insane songs but not all I only been playing seriously for a month. Hoping to get even better later
I only been playing seriously for a month. Hoping to get even better later I played hards on my 5th day, insanes after a week and a half. I had about 2000 hours in TF2 beforehand, so I was very comfortable with my mouse. I have a natural sense of rhythm, too.
2 months. 4mo's for harder more jump oriented maps. 6-12mo's for more insane-insane maps.
It seems these days people try to rush into insane maps too quickly. My advice; keep a steady pace and don't set your expectations too high.

It took me about 2k plays for my first insane map... But then i had a rage fest and returned to obtaining PP through hard mode maps. Got bored of that and took a month and a half break from osu.
I recently got back and started practicing nothing but insane maps (since they are ridiculously fun). I have been beating insane maps left and right somehow LOL. (Soon i will be fcing them hopefully)
P.S: I also started off learning insane maps by using the no fail mod. Once you get use to the speed it gets a lot easier.

As long as your passionate about the game eventually you can beat any song just takes perseverance
About 2k to 3k play, Pass with B or C.... About 4k-5k Pass with A (Sometimes)
And Also...

Seeing some of the maps that come out now, and compared to ones I played when I started, I wonder if I was even playing "insanes" then. What's an insane anymore anyway? I still fail some insanes lol.
It's a bit like this... as a not-to-scale (insane wouldn't fit on the page) example for how many different levels of skill can fall into each difficulty:
[------EZ------]
[--Normal--]
[--------Hard--------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Insane---------------------------------------------------------------------------------]
[----Extra----]
So as a solution we sorta divide "Insane" into sub-parts. And a lot of Insanes are classifiable extra's... or just glorified hards.
Pretty sure that as far as this thread goes, qualifying for passing insane songs was really just about finding one you could pass "by name"... and there's a fair number of easy ones that can do that for you.

For me i count everything 210 bpm and above as extra, so i dunno if i am considered passing insane...since i can't beat anything at 210+ bpm
Some "insanes" are over 210bpm and still easier than some others insanes below 170bpmKevojai wrote:

i see, well its just that the 210+ bpm maps that i have tried have been ridiculously hard so i sorta used it as a measurement. Sorry for the misinformation then.
