Some good, some obvious, 2 I disagree, the two above the last one.
A setting that suits you after 2 months of playing might not be the best one after a year or two. Your physical abilities improve with practice and thus you might need to change them several times in the first year of playing. Just do it wisely. You should stick to one setting the moment you feel your "aiming" hand is fully trained. But even then things like resolution full screen/window settings play a role and you simply MUST experiment with it as to find the best option.
As to copying playstyles, I'm pretty sure copying some manners may be beneficial for the player's improvement. Remember, that if something is comfortable for you it doesn't mean it's the best in terms of performance in a freakin circle-clicking game. You must find the best playstyle you can in terms of pure performance, e.g. your clicking hand position should allow to keep up with any speed you're physically able to and maintain it. If an effective playstyle isn't natural or comfortable for you, just make it so via practice!
Just look at all the players who grab their mice/pens in a strange way, the same with hand position on the keyboard. Do you really think this is how they've been using keyboard and mouse since ever? (implying that any standard PC user wants to work at maximum comfort)

I actually did get an ss on Scarlet Rose on the first day but it was in offline mode in a multiplayer match so the replay didn't save :\

OT: I agree with your points, and it's almost sad that I've basically have been playing with these 'bad habits' for half a year. To me it has sorta become the norm for me to just repeat songs over and over until I get it or I just get sick of it. Initially my drive to get better was to just pass my friend in pp, and I'll admit that I improved more in 2 months than I had the previous half year I was playing. Ever since I did that, I started to have less and less fun playing without really realizing it and now its just a game where I'll compare myself to someone else and just think I'm bad.
Maybe quitting is the best course of action at this point...

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.

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

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?

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.

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:

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

To remove my hitsounds completly helped me quite a bit, even though i am not anywhere near #1, i still see massive improvements, not from day to day, but when i take a replay from 2 months ago i can see a huge diffrence, even though it may not show every day, you are improving.
Also after i removed my hitsounds, i started enjoying the game more.
So therefore i will thank you a lot of taking your time into writing this thread

Sure you may be able to get the first one maybe even two but as more squares appear those few milliseconds you lost begin adding up and you begin to lag behind and therefore you either A. begin moving into the 100's and eventually 50's. or B.

It is probably the most basic necessity in order to complete jumps.

In all seriousness though you move through slider 1 slowly then you have to quickly jump all the way to slider 2 and slow down again in order to match the speed of the slider which is difficult, however if you practice this (AS WELL AS PRACTICING FOLLOWING ALL SLIDERS CORRECTLY 100% THROUGH) it will teach you how to have better control over your pen and it will increase your speed in general because you will be more aware of where your cursors going and what movements you need to make in order to get it there without even needing to think about it.

Both mice and tablets have their advantages and disadvantages but don't get tricked into believing that either one will require less effort on your part. Let me stress that I'm not in any way trying to talk down tablets mice or mechanical keyboards. What I'm trying to do save you the frustration of getting one thinking you'll be 20 times better only to realize you're still going to need to spend time in order to improve.
And to all people who'd like to improve and seem to hit a wall: It's most likely because you don't have enough maps.
The definition of difficulties varies a lot and there are tons of different mapping styles out there.
So for instance, while you may S some Hards, there will be other Hards you can't even pass. If you play more songs, you'll naturally get better. Don't try to force it. Just come back to that difficult song later and you'll see that it's much easier.
Great post, lots of truth, but i'll add something about what you call "muscle memory"
What ethox said
Lots of people are aware of this "muscle memory" thing, without truly understanding it. Those who play instruments are probably the most affected by it. "Do this legato exercise everyday and eventually you'll be able to shred like Eric Johnson".
This is due to a phenomenon called neuroplasticity. Basically, if you work on something intensely (by pushing your limits every time) and on a regular basis (3 times a week at least), your brain and nervous system will actually change in order to make you better at what you do. New connection will be formed between the most solicited neurons in your brain and your nervous system will strengthen the connections with the muscles you use.
If you played the guitar for 20 years, you can hear yourself say stuff like "This F chord is so easy, why can't you do it you scrub" to a beginner, but you have to remember that you are literally made to do that F chord. You made yourself that way through training. It's the same with games, you made your brain to be able to see ar10 notes coming, you made yourself able to stream super fast through training. So train by pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, and slowly make those hostile 80% accuracy songs feel like the tutorial.

I was one of those people who thought a tablet would make me "INSTA-BETTER" so I bought one.
It did turn out well in the long run, I am not top 100 or anything but I have gone up about 40000k in ranks, but I now realize it wasn't just because of the tablet lol.

Good post!
Good post!
Surprisingly this is all true.... Thanks for this...
Good post, Bookmarked for future refrence.
I find the best way to get better is just to try things that you can "barely" do....keep on going at them at eventually you realize you can do them, and some songs that you have trouble before will suddenly seem easy since some hard songs will force you out of bad habits (or else you cant pass). (Obviously dont keep going at songs that insta-kills you....that's barely gonna help.)
What about this issue :
I have easier time reading Scarlet Rose with HD HR than without mods but HR AR is hell to fast for me to play <.<
Also yes i hate AR10 but it was just an example
My biggest problem would be about my hands, since i'm like a giant, i have cold hands almost all the time, and honestly i have to play for about 5hours straight if i want to warmup correctly. I can't play any insanes + unless i do this '-' but after i turn into a superbeastwhocanFCanythingon1sttry (well you got my point D: )
I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ! Hi guys !
Here's my question !
HOW CAN I FIX ALL THOSE FARKING SH*T MISS IM DOING ALMOST EVERYMAPS WITH MORE THAN 1K COMBO ?
I mean i'm playing something perfectly (nojoke) like Dream walker or Last remote - type gamma or even (the most deppressive one) Abstract Nonsense and after like 90xx to 1k combo, i miss.
Whatever it will be, sometimes it's square, sometimes triplet, or sometimes just a random note here that i saw 54sec ago and i knew it would be there, and i still miss it.
I've failed so much FC cause of random miss, sometimes i fail earlier like at 500combo and then i pass the entire song afte, end up with 98% accuracy and only 1 miss.

LOL This reminds me of the time that I was about to FC Lost one no Goukouku.....and then I said to myself.."It will be sad if I fail.."....then I completely missed a stream and failed, and didnt get anywhere near the same combo until maybe 6 months later ._./
Solution: Stop thinking that what people who have way more experience than you say applies to you as well. HR doesn't make things easier, it only sometimes makes complicated maps easier to read due to AR10, ONLY for those who canKahoria wrote:

If you wanna improve FCing skills, play some easier insanes that you can FC in a few retries with HIGH accuracy. It will improve your consistency while playing, which is probably what's preventing you from FCing. I did this for a month or so, going over old S records with 99% (SS seems to hate me). Although it might not give PP, it makes a huge difference in accuracy.

I did a couple of these things.. but I found the slide thing out quick enough. 3rd day of playing osu! I got a 450+ combo, S rank, 1,400,000+ points on a map (difficulty Normal) which I find pretty good. I am just gonna stick to using mouse and 'Z' button only. Alternating? fuck that! Its just like the tablet will make you insta better...

Ahh this question. I was waiting for it to come up eventually! The account that I started on (which I do not use period) had an "offensive" (if that's even the right word don't ask me I'm not easily offended) name and due to the fact that I had already used a supporter tag to change my name *facedesk* I did indeed have to make a new account. However, please let me stress that I don't in any way try to "trick" anyone into thinking something like "OH MY GOD 4 MONTHS AND YOU GOT AN S ON (insert difficult map here)!?!?" No, that's not me in the slightest. In fact, I said myself that playing solely to impress people was a bad reason to play and I'm no hypocrite. The account is due solely to the fact that my old account name came off as offensive to some people, and therefore, I thought it would probably be in the best interest of others and myself to just drop the account while it was still new and to make another as a means to change my name.iderekmc wrote:

If someone would like to call me a multi-accounting jerk son of a b$#@*!!! I suppose they could because it's true if you take it word for word i had two accounts but after reading this over I feel i should add that i did not use them simultaneously it was a transition from one to the other within a day, however, I do not use the other account, period. I don't lie to people about how long I've played, and I wouldn't have done this if I didn't have a good reason (and the reason is a bit personal) and if i could have resolved it in some other fashion I would have.
Yes I do have another account, and no, I do not use it. I did not even want to make a new account and if it were possible I would have deleted the other account I don't use long long loooong ago. On that note, I'm not trying to sway people into thinking that multi-accounting is just fine and dandy, because it's really not. I have no doubt in my mind that, if someone who has no respect for other players or their hard work, were to do something like this, with many many accounts, a lot of people would get REALLY unfairly screwed over. They could have their ranks stolen, and have all their hard work crapped on by one person with many accounts (which i would guess is the reason why multi-accounting is not allowed). People could also be lead to believe that they aren't good enough because someone else who has been playing less time(although in actuality hasn't) got much better than them, and to some people, this can be pretty demoralizing if you've been playing for a year and someone who has been playing for "1 month" is better than you (although i do believe that most people would assume they were multi-accounting and write it off). I'm merely answering this question. As to whether or not it's excusable or inexcusable in my case or any case is up to others. I answered this question in such length because if I had just said "Yeah I have another account" the question of "Why?" would come up and then I'd have to write it out anyway. Not that i particularly mind, I just don't want people to get the wrong idea. If I really wanted to hide it I easily could have, however, I feel like lying over something so trivial would not only make me a jerk it would also destroy any credibility i had, therefore, rendering these whole thread more useless than it may already be. I mean, only a fool would take advice from a liar, unless it was advice about lying then i guess it would be okay but i could go in circles about that all day ANYWAY this is my answer take it or leave it.
Right, you did a great job and I'm so happy, smile, money is in the bank;
Osu is a game when you NEED to click in the balls, I mean X X X X

Awesome. One more thing, play songs from your favourite singer/anime/idol. Helps enjoy osu! more!
So I was wondering, I usually play with my framerate set to unlimited which causes me to get between 500 and 1k DPS depending on the beatmap and have been for the past few years now but was wondering if playing with FPS that high be impacting my skill level at all or causing my inputs to be read too early? cos in all honesty, in the 5 or so years Ive been playing Osu on and off, while I do notice my skill level slowing increasing every now and again, I just feel that I'm never gonna be able to do maps like Scarlet Rose or any other such beatmap (I can't think of any others off the top of my head lol) and it's kinda demoralising and I don't really know what to do :/

If I could suggest you add one more reason, it would be something along the lines of "blaming your equipment(or lack thereof)"
It's Guinness World Records Book Hard Cover you know?

I can definitely understand that. Due to lack of a desk, I had to play osu! for a month in much the same setup except for it was in my bed. Not a very fun experience at all. You are condoned sir.NeVe12p4wNeD wrote:

Thank you~! Finally, someone that understands ;w;
I have to play like this for nearly a year, and I started a year and a half ago.
I have a desk to play on now, but it's not mine so sometimes I have to revert back T^T
I try to play a variety of maps but I just can't find songs that I like :/ what to do
You play songs you don't like, like many of usdinopwn wrote:

Quite honestly.. After reading this i really just want to quit the game.
My bad habits are the reason i still play. I might aswell face it.
*I will never be able to keep a constant stream speed when streaming.
*I will never be able to play HR because of EXTREMELY bad acc.
*I will never be able to properly read nomod.
*I will never find a grip that suits me since i always manage to turn my tablet erasing pretty much all existing musclememory.
*I will never be able to attain my #1 in Denmark.
Story of my Osu! life atm. Atleast i can entertain people through streaming by playing fast stuff. Though no Fc'es or good acc's.
Someone coach me T_T

Switch to another mode or practice nonstop. What your choice. Currently practicing with Taiko and hopefully trying to get to level 50 on there since I am 50+ on each mode. THAT WAS DEDICATION TO GET BETTER, not complaining in this threadMayoi Hachikuji wrote:

Practice non-stop is really the worst thing i can do atm. I and about everyone else knows this. I don't find the other modes boring and wouldn't bother trying them. :s
Oh well good luck then. Sulking around isn't going to do you good either. Oh the irony
Why do i feel like I am getting called out for all of my mistakes
I feel like I'm improving and I'm not at the same time. I can read patterns better, and some songs i thought were difficult and fast before seem slow-medium now. overall i hit difficult sections better, but still not consistently. The problem is I always, always have a stupid miss or 2 which ruins my FC (on hard usually) or i have a miss or 2 on insane and the high hp drain kills me. (then i get pissed off and curse internally about how you shouldn't be able to fail a song in a rhthym game while comboing it and stop playing for at least a few hours). Also, sometimes i feel like i play my best my first time playing a song, or even my first time playing a song in a session. consecutive tries of a song seem to have stupid misses much more frequently .
TL;DR - everything is improving but my consistency and I don't know how to practice/improve that. combo oriented game + no consistency = no high scores (at least not without hundreds of retries or more)

Well, since the post was too long...(I wanted to add that was sarcasm because I assumed you were talking about your own post) I'll keep this short. Practice(by just playing maps) = increased consistency overall; due to repetition building up muscle memory + general increase in experience. There you go that's probably the best answer I can give as far as consistency is concerned.DLH112 wrote:

Did spot quite a few bad habits of mine after reading this thread and looking at my play for a bit.
Especially not following sliders, and not snapping to notes.
Been trying to concentrate on improving those aspects lately, hoping it'll do some good.
Good thread.

Very informative. It's nice to see other people's view of the game. Great stuff we've got here. Thanks a lot!
