I have to admit if it wasn't for this guide I might have just tried Osu for a few hours and given up even (Just like with the Korean DDR Beatmania) even though I'm playing on a tablet pc.
(I'm glad I stuck with it though even if the learning curve was like 1-2 days before I could actually keep up with the song's beat).
So Thank You Very Much For This Awesome Beginner's training Guide POKEBIS!!!
I'm really enjoying myself even if I can't help but think whenever I listen to music now, no matter if its on an mp3 player or in a Anime Music Video on youtube could I possibly find/play a map for that in Osu?
Anyway I would like to point out for other newbies like myself........
1.Stick with songs with the Easy Difficulty from this guide! Even if Orange Range seems to be moving too fast at first lol.
After you earn a C rating on this song branch out an select what ever song you want to play from Step 1 of Pokebis's Guide, because there is no certain order to play them.
(That's what I did and now I can last for half if not an entire song on difficulty normal even if I'm not making A's or B's yet but I am slowly getting the S's for the songs 1-5 of the guide's Step 1 even though I'm still struggling on Code Monkey/Nights/BrainCells/Hyadain Crash even though I have already gotten an S on Kotoko Agony!)
2.Practice and Practice to the point that you start humming/ singing the songs when your away from the PC! (Even if you can't tell in the 1st day you will be able to see a difference by day 3 or 4.)
3.Do not be a perfectionist ! Just bother to make it through one of the song's 4 sections! (An before you know it you will be able to make it through 2 of the 4 sections with no mistakes.)
4. Never Ever Click on that Skip Button on the bottom right corner! (Use this time to listen to the song/take a deep breath to calm down/take a sip of your drink/wipe your graphic tablet or tablet pc off with a tiny drop of water using a micro fiber cloth of course to get rid of any dried up sweat).
Warning: If your playing with a Graphic Tablet or Tablet Pc cover your screen or play area with a transparency to protect them from the spinners (That's what I'm doing) .
5.At this point you should be able to at least follow the tempo of a song like Catherine Warwick's Pollyanna/ Steel Angels Kiss Kara Hajimaru Miracle by lightly bopping your head/toe tapping/light knee rocking while playing through 1 of the songs 4 sections (My brother was absolutely astounded when he found me head bopping but side to side as I played through Steel Angels Kiss Kara Hajimaru Miracle's sections lol)
6.After your able to complete Steel Angels Kiss Kara Hajimaru Miracle following the beat with mistakes still present or not! Try finding some more anime themes you enjoy (Since those are not very long they will help build up your endurance for longer songs such as Jonathan Coulton Code Monkey/Nights Journey of Dreams Dreams /Initial D Running in the 90's /Kotoko's Agony.
My Recommendation for a Easy map for beginners that can play the Initial D's Running in the 90's map from this guide should check out
IceBeam's map for Rasmus's In the Shadows (Yeah, I enjoyed this song so much in a vampire knight amv over at youtube I just had to try it in the game.)
Also maybe other newbies like me would want to use a skin instead of seeing those boring slider balls in the game (I switched mine to the vampire knight skin with yuki punching zero back lol).
