Would you recommend easy mod to practice reading in general or is it just a waste of time at my level (rank 30K-ish, playing 4-star maps)?

Just dont stop playing AR8 along with 9 (and maybe play some insane AR7 maps once in a while) and you'll be fine.

Short streams up to 260bpm (like 3 up to 9 notes) does not make real threat for me, but I've found issues in longstreams over 200bpm. I can barely pass 6 seconds then I'm rapidly going down to 100's and 50's and then failing beatmap. Can't really find out what's the reason of my disconcentration. Any tips?
Focusing on a thread - is it like "forget about the world - just focus on playing"?

you lack something called "stamina"

Give me some tips how to raise it, senpai!

Just play "long stream practice beatmaps", like this https://osu.ppy.sh/s/72474 or https://osu.ppy.sh/s/76465

Well, i tried, even i were lazy to read all the texts

I think i can't get better anymore so i decided to play not for rank.

Si no mejoran , es porque son malos , jueguen el Tetris o al Pacman. :v

I'm not like the others
i just can't improve myself

When i started to play with hidden it changed the way i'm playing! And i dont know if its good or not.
1)Before i played in such way: wait for when its time to press note then move cursor and press the button. So it was like wait-move-press -> wait-move-press ->... But now i'm moving cursor and then wait (move-wait-press -> move-wait-press ->...)
2)Before i was focusing on the next note to press while trying to read all next notes that appears on the screen. But now i focus on last appeared note while trying to follow remembered pattern.

What do you think?

Thank God I learned how to snap

Have ScarletStory deleted his account because when I try to look at it I just got 404 error. Anyone knows?

After reading this with focus (or at least trying to) I understood everything else than this "snapping". What this actually means?

Also, it's seems it more like an insult to new players instead of advises

Of course, playing with a stick doesn't give you advantage compared to a small box that you move continuously for minutes

In my words and as simple as possible, it's getting to a note and stopping on it in order to make sure you hit it. It's most prevalent with mouse users.
So lets say there's a huge jump from o1--------o2------------o3
You'd hit o1, then "snap" to o2, stopping on it to hit it, then "snap" to o3.
It's kinda hard to notice with tablet as there's less stability but it still can be done.
Please someone better than me correct me if I'm horribly wrong.

Aah! So thing what he tries to say in that "guide" is that you shouldn't ever stop from moving between hits?

Well it's sorta contradicting. I don't even "snap" to notes, yet it says to maintain your style of gameplay??

Gah...

a common mistake people make is that they flow when doing streams

Nice Tips. It's honest and Straight to the truth!

What the fuck is "flowing"

phonics wrote:

Its not about getting angry (yeah its frustrating but I wouldnt call it full blown anger) but about getting so ungodly nervous that I'm gonna fuck up that my aim and tapping becomes erratic, this usually leads to fucking up so its a vicious cycle of fuck uppery.

Spend a week playing mostly FL
Ignore how frustrating it is at first, and try to only FL maps you can easily FC
Post here again after that

Trust me, I'm a zen monkey

Uhm... are you suggesting people snap to streams? That isn't how streams work.

you should snap to the first note in a stream, it will make the flowing movement afterwards more on target than if you're easing into it from the direction you came from for the first few notes.

I snap to spaced streams

I singletap them too

did op get banned? o.O

Guys, any tips to improve on mouse-only? I feel like I've hit a wall that I can't overcome no matter what.

You practice.
And you practice more.
Same goes for tablet.
Same goes for whatever play style you use.

There, as this and about 100 other guides say, there is no insta-better trick in osu!

The wall you feel is natural and happens to us all. This guide does give some good advice on how to improve, so I suggest you read it all, which I did. And I should also throw in some of my own advice too on how I (think) I improve and how I get past this "wall"...

I have a group of about 5 maps that I can get a C or a B in if I'm lucky. Almost every day I play all 5 of them hoping to improve my score. If I don't 1-up my score, no biggy. Once I manage to get at least an A on that beatmap I remove it from the group and find another to take it's place.
When I play from the ever-changing group of songs that are a little faster than my average rate, I don't worry about accuracy or combos. I just worry about passing.

On days I don't play from my group of "slightly faster than me" beatmaps over there, I play songs that I can S or SS easily too. In fact, I sort all of my beatmaps by difficulty and skim through the 1 or 2 star section, and I check for any beatmaps I have that don't have SS, and try to SS them. This is when I worry about accuracy, combos, etc..

I tend to stay away from multiplayer, let alone worrying about other people's scores. To me, online mode is a constant reminder that there are people who are better than you (and they will happily wreck you, your score, and your confidence), and there always will be. When I actually do play on online mode, though, I NEVER play a beatmap I already own. Instead, I use this as a chance to get new beatmaps, and to see my relative skill. If I actually get a good score/place on that beatmap that I've never seen or heard of before, then clearly I'm doing good. If I did notably worse than I expected I would, then I need to practice some more. And there's always the chance that the beatmap you just played could join the "slightly faster than me" group I mentioned earlier.

Of course, not everyone does this, and you should do whatever is best for you. If this works for you, then use it.

Trying to FC songs and giving up after one miss is the worst; at least sometimes if I miss in the first ten notes, I'll not miss for the rest of the song - plus, if I give up 80% of the time in the beginning of a song, then that just means I won't have any practice for the later parts.

I can't fc insanes, I feel like I should easily...but alas it isn't to be

It takes sweat, blood, luck, and a lot of angry shouting. Then I find out that I'm one combo under true FC.

I probably would if I spammed a little more, but i'd rather miss, lose fc and go for perfect hits then get 100s haha.

I see too many 100's to be bothered by them anymore.

Thanks for the advice!

it is just about the training and the will you have

how to pp farm effectively 1 misses are frustrating ._. and i have more fun playing 4/5 star songs with nf and getting better at them then playing songs i can pass atm

One way may be playin' with nf till you pass that map, then trying passing it without nf. Other is playing easlier maps without nf from the start. No other way than just playin' harder and harder

laishiou wrote:

Same here! I also think that playing harder maps with nf is fun. Even though it messes up my accuracy

I'm guilty of having a bad habit of pressing: caps lock, \, shift, control, alt, escape, `, etc. every few seconds, but I've had this problem for years before Osu! I just can't stop, I just have to press one of those keys every so often or I'll go crazy!
