eh, you're not gonna do good on insanes if you're getting Cs and Bs on hards.
but do whatever you want.

No. From the sounds of it you shouldn't be playing hards either.Android34 wrote:

No, it will cause you to have bad habits instead, button mashing, shit accuracy etc.Android34 wrote:
I wasn't aware moving to Insane maps with Bs and Cs in Hard ones would be a bad thing. I was hoping more like, if I can learn to 'cope' with the speed of Insane ones, I'd manage to get As and S's in the Hard ones if I tried them out then.
Like, it worked for me when I coped with the Hard maps and was then able to get As and S's in Normal ones. Shouldn't the same work here?
And is it working for you now? Obviously you wouldn't even need to make a thread about it if it is. Until you can say with absolute confidence that you can FC hard maps with decent accuracy, stick with normal and hard.Android34 wrote:

osu! focuses on getting full combos with an S rank. Most of your top plays are Bs, which is pathetic.
You should be playing the hardest maps you can consistently Full Combo, not the hardest maps you can pass.
I think that the diff spread for easy/normal/hard is too close together. I'd like to see hards = 3.5-4.5 and insane being 4.5-5.5 etc, but that's just my opinion.pandaBee wrote:

To you maybe. To a beginner it's certainly not. Easy is stuff you play when you first start out and have no idea what you're doing. It's where you learn how to click on time with the approach circles. Normal is where you get introduced to very simple patterns and the AR tends to get higher as well. Hard is osu basics 101. Insane is like intermediate.Kheldragar wrote:

I just used Tillerino to check pp values for an fc and moved my diff standards up because I have a rough estimate of what pp values gives me a good amount of ranks.Faces3 wrote:

how many of you did ^
i know i didn't
I don't want to call insane intermediate; insane should be insane. Hard should be intermediate because they're, well, "hard."pandaBee wrote:

Well sure. Honestly star ranges are a better description anyways, since they're continuous and not strictly discrete categorizations.Kheldragar wrote:

Of course there are also some insanes that are like 5.5 stars, but most diffs there have their own special name or are called extra/another
Reread my ninja edit.Faces3 wrote:
what am i looking at here
I don't bother with difficulty names either, it's just annoying when I ask someone what they play and they give me not an actual star value, but a diff name without knowing the star range. I don't know what star your fucking hard is. Is that 2? 3?pandaBee wrote:

3-3.65 = Advanced novice

4.3-4.8ish = Advanced

They center it around the median/mean i.e. they take the midpoint of the range.Kheldragar wrote:
I'm still curious why when you group things by difficulty it says 4 stars is 3.5-4.49; why not 4.00-4.99?

Calling other player's top scores pathetic is being neither blunt or plain. It is being disrespectful.Mahoganytooth wrote:

A 20pp A rank is pathetic and gets no respect.KukiMonster wrote:

OP is not asking for respect, nor did I say you should praise his scores. He is simply seeking advice and he didn't ask in a rude way.Kheldragar wrote:
