On a REALLY, REALLY BAD SLUMP

What do you do when you get on a really, really bad slump in osu?

(My solution is taking a break, but this slump is kinda different. I didn't play since last week and when I did today, man, I can't even clear all of the insane beatmaps I could easily clear)

Any tips?

Take a break or play more

This kind of stuff goes here.

Well, I kinda gave up today. It would really affect my rank if I continued, and... It was kinda frustrating.

(though a break might be more ideal for this slump since it's time for finals week and summer vacation's pretty near in here)

I play more; then I play more again the next day.

Not playing is a crime.

need to learn how to do this

I usually play better after having some time off, though it takes a couple of days to readjust to my old skill, but after that it gets better. It's like taking 9 steps back, then 10 steps forward

Just so you know, your reason for not playing is moot since playing maps cannot lower your rank, it simply updates your ranking to what it should be.

I've never really got to a slump. The occasions where I feel like I'm not as good at something as I used to be are plenty, but always due to me not having done x for quite some time, or due to me being tired (physically or mentally), or confusing the scores I get for skill, etc.

Just don't play the day when you see you can't do shit. It happens often to me, so I just stop playing, after a break it gets normal again.

no offense but if you aren't consistently getting A+ then I wouldn't consider it "easy" for you





also, it's not a slump because you haven't played for a week. just play a bit and you'll ease back into your normal skill level

I thought the thread was about slumps in general, I don't think OP has ever been in a major slump nor claims to.

you can conclude from the pp on the B's that he has 1-4 misses and 50% or more combo. it's unlikely to fail like that.

Easy is subjective.

Yeah, one thing. Your top ranks should REALLY not be Bs. Maybe move down a couple of difficulties until you're able to FC stuff with good acc.

I have a 151pp C play. I played it once and now I can't even get close to that combo again. Help

Well flukes happen. Hell, my top rank isn't even a FC. It's just that OP has several Bs. All 3 of OP's top ranks are Bs and OP is playing above his/her level.

300PP D rank or bust.

then there's always jesse's top rank which im glad got moved back up by the system changes, those dt pp map S ranks didn't deserve to overtake it.

I might have exaggerated on that "easy" part, but who cares? I just said it's easy because I rarely fail on it. Also, some are B's on my top rankings mainly because I broke my combo by choking :v

Anyway, "slump" might not be the right word for what's been happening to me. What I'm feeling exactly nowadays is that my left hand (for x and z) gets tired much more quickly, and it kinda stings me too. It just suddenly became like this for me. Before this, I could last for more than 4 hours of playing.

It might just be an effect of withdrawal for a while.

ah, regarding the easy part, my top ranks are B mainly because of poor accuracy. those beatmaps, of course, reached my top ranks either because I didn't miss or i had a really damn high combo close to FC (and maybe no miss until at least 3/4 of song).

From the title I thought it was going to be a posture thread.

Don't worry about it. Gameplay and Rankings' pastime is nitpicking to death.

Play for accuracy, not difficulty. Stick with playing maps you can 95%+ high combo. Playing above your skill just creates bad habits and shortcuts. Stop playing when you get tired, practicing too much is just as bad as practicing too little.

I like playibg for fc and not acc.


This is why I'm bad.

Very high accuracy is usually (but not always) worth significantly more than a full combo. You'll usually get more pp for a 99.5% half combo than an FC at 85%.

I don't think that applies on longer maps that have combos above 800, but I never get 99.5% acc so I wouldn't know.

you don't get any pp for a half combo fc
