I find that that only helps when you're trying to FC a hard jump part and are not sure about how you're missing it
Damn some of these things hit really close to home.
If I could suggest you add one more reason, it would be something along the lines of "blaming your equipment(or lack thereof)"

Read it all. Very informative.
I'll probably be permanently stuck at an average play level. I am fine with that. It's not the end of the world if I'm not a good player. It's a lot less effort in the long run.

If you had a more consistent play history you would probably be a lot better.TheVileOne wrote:

hitsound part is lovely, most of the players lose it because of that statement
Now we need a taiko version of this

Oh hey, a thread that finally actually contains things useful things to improve on \ practice.
This needs to replace the other sticky.

It disturbs me people care about that. Is it some grammar thing or what? It's the name of the game, in most languages you capitalise names so people just do that.buny wrote:

Don't question, it just is.
because the name is osu! and not Osu!Akali wrote:

not capitalising a name doesn't stand out as much as something that randomLy has a Capitalisation.
and yes, it stands out as much as misusing your and you're in my opinion.
This was the best thread I have ever read in terms of improving your skill. Nicely done~
Actually there are two SS's on Scarlet Rose 
OT - Playing for the wrong reasons is so true XD
Also really liked the point about memorizing hit sounds. Really helps with high AR for me.
Read most of it, was very straight to the point. I like it
Could possibly be put with the "How to improve at osu!" thread, without the second half of the title? XD

Very good thread, that actually made me realize some mistakes I've been doing. Especially part with sliders and wanting to impress others

That's not really the same thing. Osu! is capitalizing the first letter (which is typical when talking about a name) and it's only 1 letter being capitalized - not a bunch in the middle of the word. I get how this could bug someone if it's really not suppose to be capitalized, but is it that big of a deal?

Best "How to improve at osu" thread 2014.
I felt that all those praising posts were sarcastic, seriously.... And it's sticked now gg
Mine wasn't. Everything in the OP is seriously true.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

I like to think I'm correct when I describe this thread having the best OP on this subforum. The only harp I can think of is: don't make your text so negative, make use of your obvious skill in language. The content was very informative with little emphasis on opinions and more on observations. I imagine you've been sponging up pieces of advice all around during your adventures in the wonderful world of osu!
One thing I would like more highlight on (or mentioned even) is pauses in gaming in general. How to treat them, lose "rust" and get over the barrier that pauses generate. People tend to forget how training muscular and nervous systems work. Studying how a human body learns mechanically is very, maybe almost as important as psychological aspects of a self-improvement game such as this. Morale and motivation plays a huge role in a long and tedious task and often people indulge themselves in self-criticism and frustration. That is the hard part of the game, which you as a gamer and a person have to find out by yourself.

Now that we have this AND jesse's thread (both stickied), can all other "Give me advice on how to get better" type of threads be locked immediately in the future?
I think there're dozens of things that could be added, tips containing some techniques like mouse grip, hand position. You could even find some various philosophies concerning the topic of how to play better and better.
You have a point Amai-san. And seeing as how you are one of the best mouse users in osu, do you mind writing a paragraph about the advantages and disadvantages of different mouse grips? If you can't/don't wanna do it, I would ask some other pro mouse player to write one. Then the author of this thread can add it to the opening post (or jesse can add it to his thread, doesn't matter).
Kriers would be perfect for this, he has more knowledge than I do. The thing is whether he would want to write it.

Much thanks to sarasseo for supplying me with a format that doesn't kill your eyes and marcostudios for explaining how to make boxes that don't look weird.Of course a gigantic thanks to the people who are showing support/supplying constructive criticism it is extremely helpful and very much appreciated.
I've been playing osu! for a little more than a year now, I've never had fun except when I did something better than my friends or myself. Friend ranking is my bible.
Same goes with starcraft2, I don't like the game but tried really hard until I was better than all the people I know personally.
I don't think that is a "wrong reason" to play the game.

If you have fun by outranking your friends and enveloping yourself in a competitive environment that's not a wrong reason to play, because you're having fun. What i mean is essentially playing for absolutely no reason other than to get better while having no fun. Of course one could argue that getting better at osu! is what makes it fun in the first place and that's completely fine I have no arguments what-so-ever in someone doing that. The point is you found something that made osu! fun and you worked for it. What I mean about playing for the wrong reasons is more along the lines of not enjoying playing at all to the point where you are doing it without even wanting to. I feel like wanting to improve that bad is a wrong reason to play. Of course, that is subjective, but I think that if you don't love doing something then you just... shouldn't do it, if that makes sense.monomosc wrote:

I agree that having this and jesse's thread every other post asking dumb stuff about getting better should be instant locked.
This thread should be translated to every possible language, especially morse code it's very important so the enemy spies won't get it.

And ye ppl don't read sticky threads ._.
Hey [any mod], have you thought about cleaning up the sticky threads? There are a lot and many are either useless or could be moved to another sub-forum.
All the torrents/map list/etc threads should be on... well the beatmaps section, there is one beginners training which is SIX years old why is it even here, the Wacom guide is "ok" but tbh it shouldn't be there, only reason it's ok is because people don't really read other sub-forums because everything of general interest has always been thrown her altogether. :p
