You don't have the stamina to play long maps because you don't play long maps. By playing long maps, even though there are hard parts and easy parts, you build up stamina.

sadpwner wrote:

Don’t play heavy streaming maps.
Streaming is a big part of osu. Even if you can manage to get a lucky stream in once every 10 plays with the method that you have advised, playing stream maps improves your consistency with streams and turns that 1/10 into 9/10 in most cases.

The plan iis to play the widest range of quality songs as possible.
The "widest" range of quality songs possible definitely includes long and gimmicky maps. Can you really say that you are able to play 5.5 - 6.5 star maps when you are limited to generic TV size maps within the star range? It might just be a difference in opinion here, but I wouldn't say that I can play a certain star range unless I'm confident that I can deal with any map that gets thrown at me, ie. 95% of playable maps within that range.

e: o thats pretty short no text wall ?_?

lmao

because short maps are "hard"



can we just ban anyone above 50k rank for posting to save us from getting cancer

I’ll go over a few basics on clearing some patterns now.

Z= left click. X= right click
You actually need to time these most of the time rather than listening to the beat. I only mean the first circle. The following 2 are hit by following rhythm.
Zxz. Xzx. Normally
Zzx. Xxz When you single tap for a long time and can’t zxz fast enuf.
These are sliders that are fast and close. You stream them.
Zxzxzxzx
Double tap if the song is manageable. Use z and x if it’s too fast or you run out of stamina.
There’s a version that’s like that but with a longer pause between the circle
Zz with a slight pause

For steams, it’s just alternating z and x. You clear them by listening to the beat.

These are pretty much the only patterns shared across the maps.
what the fuck is this? this is literally how you get worse at the game.

This thread's advice is bad and you should feel bad.

For the record it took me ~7 months to go from regular 4* fcs to rgular 6* fcs

Play a lot of unranked maps and you can hide all of your playcounts.

I've been playing less than a month and just really felt I needed some encouragement that even 3 stars could be a thing someday. Now, I actually decided on my own that I wasn't a fan of most of your advice. MP is my favorite way to get more maps. I don't like using NF because I feel like it puts an artificial stamp on a song that's actually above my skill level. I could go on.

That said, I've also read through all the comments here, and I feel like someone should acknowledge the fact that you did take the time to try to be helpful, and that you did post several disclaimers. So, thank you for the post.

dunno man, the fact that OP wrote;

"Now that the common sense stuff is out of the way, I'll begin. REMEMBER SOME OF THESE ADVICE ARE PURELY SUBJECTIVE AND PREFERENCE. THEY WILL NOT ALL WORK FOR YOU. SOME OF THE THINGS I SAY MIGHT BE WRONG AS THEY ARE BASED ON MY LIMITED EXPERIENCE."

makes me think he might be full srs

Pretty sure OP is dead serious with his so-called advice.
The Actor
Atleast he's trying.
-Makishima S-
It was long time, long thinking if i should go sarcastic here, laugh or be deadly serious. To be honest, i will be deadly serious with that i say.

@sadpwner - You are bad, sad person who gives shit advice's completely not related to gameplay, this topic is academical example of "how to prove that i am retarded". Let's go and show you why i am more than sure you should shut the fuck up and don't even try to give any advices:


You are worst possible person to give ANY fuckin advice, like you totaly don't know how this game works, you totaly don't know how to play it, your statistics are shitty as motherfuck, many newbs who play 1 week are probably way better than you, yet - for all gods you dare to create topic of "advice".

Disclaimer - If you use "No Fail" mode as new player, you already failed a map, you are completely not able to play it if you need NF for pass, you are not even close to read it.

OP just gave me cancer, literally, brain cancer from amount of stupidity and bullshit in first post. Just pls OP... request removing this thread already because you are amusing with this bs.

This topic makes me kill myself...

Posting advice that's more harmful than helpful is honestly worse than just saying nothing tbh.

You are taking it too far, OP got enough negative feedback, no need to call him names and such.

Also, next time when you are trying to prove someone wrong at least don't reason with "you are shit therefore your advice is shit" but tell them why they are wrong.

lets be real here anyone with common sense would be able to do basic research.

Let's be honest, this guy already got negative feedback about his gameplay before, people told him to stop playing maps too hard for him, stop using NF.
Now this shitter made a cancerous topic with full of bullshit points.

There is no point to even discuss about this because it's waste of time. Like 15 min researching in forum and you can debunk every single point in his "so called advice for being garbage trash at this game".

Basic research:
- dont play maps too hard for you
- proritize fc over passes
- dont use NF
- play more

just not NF to the extent where OP is using it

its not. imo much of time it's quite helpful for learning things. just don't use it for everything. boils to common sense for the most part, which is vague as fuck but whatever.

of course i would say some of the hate/criticism is slightly exaggerated, but they do have merit. though i don't see a need to shit on people's faces like this tbh

Mate. Why are you being so toxic? I mean, it's a horrible guide(yes) but still, he tried his hardest.
The Actor
Also I have a question OP.

https://youtu.be/8f7XKBFlZI0 << If this was you, you'd already be in a higher rank than 130k.

Is that really you, because judging from your top ranks it isn't. Also 5 digits 20~95k is very unstable.
I've seen 70k's play better than 4 digit players(rare).

And like above posts said, this post isn't very helpful at all. I mean, I know you tried your hardest but if anybody were to use this guide they wouldn't be able to read decently(aka AR8 with 60 acc). I'm not the best player, I'm just average but I honestly think you need to improve more.

I'm not discouraging you, but I would recc you become atleast 30k before you make a guide or else everyone in the forums will legit intoxicate you because you aren't good at clicking circles at a fast rate.

tl;dr Improve more, and have another take at it some day.

It might be him, but looking at the video, he played offline on that song, which is why it's not included in his top ranks

that map is harder than 90% of the stuff in his top ranks, and it has decent acc, obvs not him
The Actor
I think so as well. The play style is completely different from his last video which was uploaded like 2~3 days ago.

That score was Tatoe with 82acc. I mean, if you have enough skills to do that with 98acc, you should atleast get 90+ acc on Tatoe(considering it's a very PP map for most decently ranked people). If your trying to pass that as your skills as 'proof' that you are good, I am seriously disappointed in you. Especially when it's not your play with obvious signs(advanced techs like snapping consistently near-perf and decent taps).

It's probably a better idea to just get out of the forums mate. You might as well scavage the remaining face you have left.

After seeing it closely,
1)No NF Wait it actually has NF. My bad xD
2)Good acc

Ok, it's not him

It's not NF itself obviously. It's the fact that as a general rule of thumb (there are exceptions) if someone needs NF, it's an indication that the map is too hard for them and playing slightly easier stuff would be more beneficial overall. High drain, high OD, low note density, difficult spaced streams where slightly messing up makes you fail are examples where using NF can be good, so you can actually practice without having to repeat the beginning of the map all the time, but this doesn't really concern beginners, so the general idea applies perfectly well.

This isnt true at all. Nf is great because it allows you to play harder maps and survive the difficulty spike. It is much more efficient to play a song where 70-80% is like the difficulty spike in an easier song. A good example for me would be https://osu.ppy.sh/s/386619 or https://osu.ppy.sh/s/291155 which has some parts which are too intense, however the average of the song may be exactly what I want to play, rather than something that is a lot easier, where I may have to wait for difficulty spikes to be challenged

That being said do be a retard and do what this guy does...
Drezi
As I said there are exceptions, I also said that's it's just a general rule of thumb that applies well to beginners who usually can't judge as well whether a map is too difficult for them or not, as an experienced player can, so it's an easy to remember benchmark. (Also there are plenty of maps with rather even difficulty levels throughout, and it's not like playing non-max difficulty parts is wasted time, it's good for consistency and accuracy). So going "this isn't true at all" is quite a stretch, even if your particular example is fine too.
Mahogany
If you're already good with solid fundamentals, good skills, and a solid understanding of the game, playing shithard maps with NF might be able to help you.

What won't help is playing 6* maps with NF as a 6 digit player
Deva
At your level you arent qualified to give any kind of advice, let alone playing 6* maps.
