I've played this game for a year now, and I've learnt that my performance is not consistent. probably like the majority of the people here. Sometimes I'd fc a difficult map, and other times I'd fail doing maps with less than 2 stars difficulty.
I've also learnt that when I play at a certain time of the day night, I become very good: I become noticebly better at mouse control, timing, accuracy, etc.
Oddly enough, this is at the point of the night when I start to become sleepy, which is weird. I mean quicker reaction times than when I'm wide awake. Really?

Does anyone else here have that one 'optimum condition' where, for you, it feels like the game suddenly got easier and you feel like you could do anything?

Yes, my optimum condition is this: Don't think while I play.

That's... um... quite a unique way of reaching your best condition.

Warm up songs are real and exist for a reason. You can't go straight into osu and S that song you did surprisingly well at yesterday.

When i dont care or think about getting a good score. My current top play was a random play i did while talking with a friend over skype, and then right at the end i realized what i was doing and ended up missing 22x combo before the end and got a bunch of 100's. Regardless, it still became my highest weighted play by a mile. Had I not broken focus, I'd be looking at nearly 200 pp...

That's the best thing you can do really, is not think/care about it. Easier said than done though.

I do my best when I'm playing multiplayer matches because I push myself to get 1st place more.

What...? That's the same thing...

Anyways, I play my best when I don't suck at this game which is never anymore.

I only ever strive to do good when it's a really catchy song or I'm so close to being first, and I just can't get it yet...

It's completely random, hence why when I get a good score I spend the next 2 hours trying to get scores, because I know I got into my hot zone.

A lot of my top scores are 2-3 hours apart just because of that, then I have days to weeks without getting scores again, then repeat..

When the approach circles start moving at a reasonable speed. I'm not sure why but the approach rate seems to change from day to day for the exact same song/ difficulty.

Totally different thing.. a good example of how this is not the same thing is on the map Hoshizora. Nero has 1st place with FL getting prolly ~150 pp. While hvick got 2nd place with DT, getting 500+ pp. You can get higher rank but less pp than someone.

Anyway, I play my best when I stretch my arms and finish cutting my nails.. I feel like a can stream better as weird as that sounds..

I dont really know when cause i dont have a special time. but normally its around the middle of the day i guues. maybe right after school. the way i play best is that i just play and suddenly find a really hard map i wanna pass. and then i enter a kind of zone where i just hit everything and after the map im just thinking '' wtf how did i just do that '' then i try again and fail every time i try to beat the map

Well that's easy: I play when the cocaine from Coke or Pepsi runs out of my blood.
In these moments ,i feel that my neck hurts,and my eyes are opened only half and they hurt as well.
In these moments there is no way i cant time my dashes in CtB, and no way i get points lower than 300's. :)

My best is when I'm down 3 stocks and confident enough to make the 4 stock comeback.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way ovo..
I noticed this too. the only thing is, I dont know when I'm going to fail or win XD... I just do... Usually I just take a break if I cant hit the beats. (after playing for a while of course)...

sometimes I can play on hard other times I cant XD... I'm just like "HOW DID I DO IT THE FIRST TIME!!!!"
