Hey, I've played this game for quite a while on the side and am pretty decent at it (maybe not professional osu! elitist god y0lo sw4g cookiezi level, but 6 star nomod gameplay still looks inhuman to most people). I have mostly played competitive DotA, League, and Starcraft in the past, which don't have much technical mouse skill involved, played a little bit of CS:GO (nothing big though, only like DMG level).
Blizzard's Overwatch is coming out soon and it's the first FPS I plan on playing competitively. I played in pre-purchase/open beta this week after not playing an FPS for like a year or two and my aim wasn't necessarily the worst right out of the gate. I played mostly support (not much aim required) but when I did get a chance to play solo with aim-heavy roles I found that my aim improved very rapidly as I played, but still wasn't quite there in terms of tournament level standards, and that could just be because I used to play CS:GO a bit.
I expected to be able to take my accuracy skills from osu! and convert them, even partially, to FPS aiming. I was surprised to find that I couldn't really do this, however, and that despite being able to do huge cross-screen jumps at fast speeds in osu!, I'm basically terrible when it comes to cross-screen flicks on, say, a sniper rifle. Despite being able to smoothly track a slider bar at high speeds, I can't track a moving character very well at all. Has anyone else found that it is the same for them, or have you found a way to take some of your osu! mouse abilities and bring them into an FPS, perhaps with careful sensitivity adjustment or other methods?
