Was gonna post this. The only important skill is patience, with it you can get good but without it you're going to get nowhere.

Well i enjoy playing fast maps that i can barely / can't pass the most so it should be speed.

Aim > Accuracy > Speed

Some of people have syndrom of "Why can't I fc this, it's so easy". I think they glorify speed over the consistence and aim, so they left it behind.

I've made a simple graph, which will summarize my opinion.


Why focusing on speed is bad? Because it dissapears faster than your aim. Muscle memory isn't infinite, but it lasts long, so any breaks from osu wouldn't hurt your skill that much.

Let's say that person A, who had skills showed in my previous graph would make a half-year break from osu. His graph would like something like that:


Having a great muscle memory, which leads to excellent aiming allows us to rebuild our speed very quickly.
Every pro players knows that. That's why they are in top100.

But that's only an opinion from 5k random player. :lol:

reflexes dont seem to play much of a role unless it's incredibly high ar.. I mean the MS delay even at AR10 is a relatively long 450 ms
but i think you're right with the general idea but it might just be that speed takes the longest to warm up.. remember when cookiezi took a huge break then came back and 1x100'd FD?

Well, I sometimes watch livestreams from random people around 1k-5k rank. In fact, their speed is quite good, but their hands shake a lot. It just looks like it was unnatural to play with that speed to them. However, when I was watching Niko livestream quite time ago, his moves were clear, confident, smooth. Hard training consisting in spamming DT all the time? Genetic reasons? Longer practice? Or something more?

That's the easiest way of explaining, which everyone repeats like lemmes :I. We always can philosophize a bit.

It really is the only thing is there to it, play a lot, then play a lot more, then some more, and when you're done, play even more, and eventually you'll also give this confidence feeling when playing

the shaky cursor kind of looks cool though

Shaky cursor is just nerves. Some people get more nervous than others.

It also only really applies to hovering tablet players and it depends on your area/grip. What about the others...

Sometimes, it's because you're desesperately trying to keep up a stream that is too fast for you

Being able to not go on tilt. I don't know how many people actually tilt as much as I do but it makes it so that some days I just can't set good scores at all.

Eh, most peoples cursors wobble at least a bit on streams
GoldenWolf
They shake a little bit on everything since they hover, not exclusively on streams

By shaky cursor over stream I mean something like this

Determination, if you give up then there is 0% chance of getting that score you want xD

yeah true, i guess it's just slightly more noticeable on streams since it has to be such a relatively slow and precise motion
Metro
As some people said determination and practice are far more important than the other skills. imo enjoying the game is even more important than that.

Accuracy is crap. It might get you some top 1's but it won't get you the really hard FC's.

There is no point discussing whether aim or speed is more important. If you lack one but have the other you're gonna be mediocre either way.
Vuelo Eluko
but in the modern world of CS4 aim isn't quite as important as speed. that is, a huge amount of speed and pretty good aim are preferred to the other way around
RaneFire
Actually aim is getting harder on the high level maps.

The problem is that most ranked maps have all the aim moderated out of them.

Reading is the most important skill
Aqo
If you're trying to FC airman then aim is far more important than speed
If you're trying to FC ascension then speed is far more important than aim
If you're trying to SS murmur twins then the only thing you're going to care about is accuracy

when will people get it already
whichever one is more important is entirely up to you

ascension isn't fast, just requires a bit of stamina
GoldenWolf
speed includes stamina aswell
Soarezi
Not my fault people refuse to skip the training phase to becoming a good streamer, alternating affects your stamina drastically.

That's kind of the entire point of this thread, to discuss what we believe is the most important...

Well I quit osu because I couldn't stream fast (ノ `Д´)ノ ~┻━┻

Reading. The support beam that keeps everything together as a fine family of skills to be used for glorious fun :3

If I had to choose from aim, acc or speed, then Aim because cookies are delicious~
Barciok
Aim.

If you can't aim streams, jumps, jumpstreams you can't FC maps. :/
I think it's the most important and the hardest skill in osu!.
