When you say "fast paced sliders" do you mean the that the sliders are fast throughout the song or the song just has randomly fast sliders? If it's the former, then you just have to practice but if it's the latter, you'd have to memorize those sliders in the song. Your second problem is probably just miss interpretation of the song since you really only should be getting 50s if that's the case. Try playing with hidden, it helps with figuring out the beat and you'll probably see less 50s.

How did you personally get better at Osu!

Also, it's worth checking that you're not handicapped by your hardware settings, ie mouse speed/dpi/acceleration settings, tablet area etc. I didn't really think osu is playable till just a few months ago (for full story see my user page sigh =.=)
There're already quite a few good threads about hardware settings, just do a search and you should find them relatively easily.

By the Try-and-Error method: Just play something YOU think you could pass or even fc and if you failed, try it some more times. If you still fail go to the next. Often it happens that the next map feels somehow easier even if it's on a similar Difficulty Level as the previous Map. You only can getting better by failing and trying. This gives you a feeling where you need to work on yourself, what's your problems, how you could solve them, etc etc.
Play maps you can barely pass, don't just aim for maps you can FC.
Probably the most important point to say.
Don't expect to improve from Hard to Insane overnight. This game is one that takes a LOT of practice. Play songs that are at your boundaries, but don't stick to only a few. It helps to get a few Beatmap Packs and play songs from there. Not only will you find more songs that you enjoy, but you will have a wider range of experience when it comes to different patterns and such.
Also, long breaks will probably ruin your skill a lot. I find myself doing much worse even if I stop for only a few days. So try to keep consistent.
Thats all I really have to say.

Make sure your hardware setup provides 1x1 cursor movement (no acceleration) and you're comfortable overall when playing. Then it's up to your muscle memory, finger speed, reading and tempo sense, which are obviously trained through practice. Playing harder maps is a good advice, but make sure you're not mashing while playing them. Even if you barely keep up with a map try to do patterns the right way, mashing can lead to several bad habits which are extremely problematic to get rid of later on.
I got better by playing the fastest maps i could pass ... if i could go back however, i would play maps that are fun and at the higher end of my speed level and try to get very good at accuracy. Then i would gradually work up.
Play a lot of different beatmaps that you feel you can FC/get high accuracy on. Also having friends play the game helped me improve a lot because i consistently want to beat their scores. Rivalry seems to be the best motivation for me.

<---- Masher
Went for speed before acc now i avg 80 acc on everything even slower songs.
Also i did the misstake of playing lots of HR/AR10 songs as i thought it would improve my reading but my reading got worse.
Play lots of maps, slow and fast. High and low AR. Give it time.

That is how i personally got better at osu! so what is there to say no about? I'm not claiming that its the optimal way and i am most certainly not saying one should do this with easy maps, but with the ones that it can be barely done on. It should be rather obvious that playing things you can do in your sleep doesnt help to improve.

NO
Play everything is the best advice you can get. Maps you can't pass, can barely pass, pass with high and very high accuracy, DT on low diffs and harder ones, hd, hr, different ARs. Everything is important.

Yes it is. Also you said it like it was an advice instead of "I did this and still suck"
I dont claim to be super pro but i can play the maps that NoJoke claimed to not be able to. I also have a much higher play count than what is shown in my profile due to a lack of Internet for quite a long time. So damn right it was advice as well because it helped me. I dont see how my playcount would make that any less valid anyway.
Watch someone who is much better play for awhile, follow the mouse movements with yours, learn to read it and see the notes in the order they appear in this much faster map. Go back to your slower maps after about 5-10 minutes, youll be amazed at how much slower it feels than last time. Rather than that, it's all just practice. I only play maps that I'm having a hard time completing (every now and than I play one if I just like the song) and usually look for maps that play on my current weakness.
Personally that's how I have been progressing, and still am progressing.
Also, another thing I noticed, if you played every day for the last 4-5 days, take a break, don'y play tomorrow. Maybe not even the next day. As odd as it sounds I had done this a few times and next time I launched the game everything just felt easier for some reason.

i just played a lot and was gradually able to play harder maps. now i'm finally moving on to insane maps...
I'm not amazing even now, but when I started out, I was getting C's every time, and around 75-80% on 1 star songs. One week later, I've started doing 3-4 star songs and my accuracy only just recently got to 90%. It's not an amazing success story, but I'm happy with the progress I've recently made.
Turns out switching to Z and X after using the mouse buttons helped out tons. So does playing maps that I just barely pass, because it gives you lots of room to improve and more mistakes to learn from.

I've done this before, it feels really weird when you actually start playing but your aim does improve for some strange reason though only temporary.mandrias87 wrote:

I've once played Counter-Strike for 13 years so I have good ability to aim.
However,I play bad with streams.
I played offline with 20000 playcourt and then I got better with Hard diff.
Then I retried each FullCombo to 99 acc.
Now I can FC some Insane maps

I got better by playing maps I can FC with good acc until I could FC harder maps with good acc. Probably not the most efficient way to progress lol
I didn't play the game at all and did the very opposite of what you would call practice, and the following day I woke up as cookiezi.
Played multi for hours on end since failing a map doesn't mean the end of it and I can experience the whole map and not just insta-fail.
When you pick a map you tend to pick stuff in your comfort zone but in multi chances are people will pick stuff you're weak at helping you train your weaknesses (unless you rage quit)

practiced a lot on easy insanes, then moved on to harder insanes and hard+dt
practiced a lot in random beatmaps, ragequitted every 2-3 weeks and came back better
Trying to DT every hard and HR every insane.
keep playing
thats all
thats all
by playing DJPop maps
Play different songs, don't focus to one until you have an overall skill on most insanes, then move to what u want to improve (example, streams? Play MENDES a lot, Jumps? A great part of insane songs have some jump patterns. Singletap? Play 0108's maps a lot , DT? Begin to play hards on DT etc), also try a confortable setup for your playstyle that's not so important , but it can make the difference and able to play more accurate and concentrate.
Simply keep on playing. :3

I play stuff that I can't even come close to passing, and keep playing it. I play it on hardrock. I play it on hidden. It helps me with consistency on the slower songs, even if the slower songs are still insanely difficult. I recently got a 834 combo on ascension to heaven death difficulty, after training for a week on streams - just put the effort in, really.
