3 hours a day on average is still quite a significant time to be playing osu, especially over a long period of time. It should be more than enough.

We is everyone, I'd rather it be a collective. I mean it'd be nice to see everyone make an attempt to do so.
I dunno, the thread looks centered around you. And there have been like 500 of these "lets all post our progress!!" threads.

Well it's just at least that amount of time, if I finish college early on a day or something obviously that gives me more time.
Oh yeah and of course on a weekend it goes from 3 --> 7/8 hours :D

Well it is since I made it 1 day ago it's not like everyone is jumping in sharing results or past experiences or anything. Also another reason why it is, is because I want to track/measure time vs improvement. I really want to be able to say and clearly see that it is indeed infact purely time investment which makes a difference.

Well, if by the top, you mean #1, then probably not. Even now, it's extremely statistically unlikely for someone that just started playing to ever reach >#100, and this number is continuously growing, to the point where it might be nearly impossible to ever reach >#1000. Might be bursting someones bubble, but it's true.

Don't worry you definitely aren't, I don't believe it is at all possible, so it'd be awesome if Others or I could prove myself wrong :D

How can you even have big dreams that are easy?

What I'm really struggling to understand what you're trying to say?
There was no cheekiness, there is no "big dream" that is easy or it wouldn't be a big dream?
Or are you intending to say something else that I haven't noticed?

I have CTS Yeah; apparently it's really rare to have on your ring finger.
It's your hand and wrist, but I only really feel the numbness on my middle and ring finger.

Well I've seen loads of people say how many hit walls and quit, but by playing more you soon overcome them.
I'm at a wall right now already, so we'll soon see whether just playing a lot makes that much of a difference :)

I hit a wall and it feels like crap already, i'm gonna try out different songs and master AR 9-9.8 .. I can't imagine what hitting a wall is like at rank<10k

i hit a wall 8 months ago and i stopped trying to overcome it

This isn't true, actually. It depends heavily on too vague variables to be able to properly tell. Yes, it's quite obvious that someone in the top 10 who's played for 3-5 years has a huge advantage over someone starting today, but, as you can see here

People don't always continuously improve. Depending on your base compatibility with the different skills osu! requires (i.e. if you've played some other sort of game in the past that required fast left-hand tapping, you'll probably have a starting advantage when it comes to streaming), when your walls happen and for how long they'll last, and when other players' walls happen and how long those last, as well as your compatibility with the newest maps getting ranked (i.e. some players are better at older maps while others are better at newer ones, and some players are better at RLC-like maps while others are better at HW-style maps, etc.), you can't really tell how big the chance of each individual in this game is to eventually reach #1. Maybe OP won't be #1 next year, or the year after that, but it's not impossible at all. That's just pessimistic, not realistic.

That said, if everyone wasn't such a quitter and was truly trying their best to be #1, then yeah, you'd be having a really hard time getting there.

maybe if you did some dedicated speed and AR10 training you could start doing stuff like Wind God Girl HDHR and get into the top 500

my frustration is that all my aim, reading and accuracy all improve through practice, except I can't stream. I'll play a fast map, but start mashing on the streams and break combo. So I need to completely stop playing fast maps to break the habit of stream mashing, and solely play low bpm stream maps until I can stream properly, which is boring as hell.
Nyxa
Wind God Girl is such a bad map though. Also B1rd try building up. Find the bpm that you're comfortable with streaming and then keep bumping up 5bpm until you're comfortable with that
