11 Questions for osu!mania players.‬ · forum‬

It's been 2 months since I started playing o!m, so I thought I would do this again, considering I'm now a pro!

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
I switched from Guitar Hero to osu! as my go-to game. I knew that there was a 'Guitar Hero gamemode', but I didn't know what it was called. I found out it was osu!mania and now I get to have the best of both worlds.

2. What is your favorite keymode?
~~4k or 5k. I have yet to encounter 2k or 3k, but they sound alright.~~
4k. I still love 7k, 6k, and 5k, though.

3. What is the layout of your favorite keymode?
~~Standard. (DF JK) (DF JKL)~~
4k = XC ,.
5k = XC M,.
6k = QWE JKL
7k = QWER JKL

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
~~About a week.~~
2 months.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
~~Sedap Malam and Utakata, Ai no Mahoroba are my current favorites.~~
I love Blue Army and End Time. Those are unranked, though. I don't really have any ranked favorites.
I still like SM and UAnM.

6. What is your favorite type of patterning?
~~Not sure.~~
I think stairs. I still don't really know the names of patterns yet, even though I have been playing for 2 months.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
Solo.
Not striked because this is still true. I do sort of like playing multiplier, though. Gives me a chance to try to new maps.

8. Who is your favorite osu!mania player?
~~I don't know. I just play the game.~~
Jhlee, Staiain, Etienne, HNC_yk, Tokiiwa, and -Halogen.

9. Who is your favorite osu!mania mapper?
~~I don't know. I just play the game.~~
I'm pretty sure it's Spy. There are some others that I've seen very frequently, though.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
I was going to say ranked, but I think I like unranked better. Unranked is just for practicing and it helps me get better so I can play ranked maps and get better accuracy and more pp so I can level up.
I like ranked a little better now. Only because it makes me level up. Unranked maps are usually harder and more fun, though.

11. Do you like osu!mania?

Nope. I absolutely hate it. It's the worst thing I've ever played.
Just joking, stupid question. Of course I do.

Why not?

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?

A game that I play with a ranking system seemed pretty cool, so I decided to try it out. Also to mess with the community a bit, previously going under the alias 'Staiainfangirl', lololol.

2. What is your favourite keymode?

4k

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?

ZXNM

This game specifically, about a year or so. Been playing 4k for around eight years on and off though.

Anything that's fast and doesn't suck, lol.

Unranked. Every o!m player knows the site ranks such garbage maps lmao

11. Do you like osu!mania?

It's fun it its own way but there's so much wasted potential for the game that it makes me dislike it sometimes.

1. Because it's fun.
Really, it's much better than the other modes where you can easily get frustrated if you miss a circle or some grapes.

2. 4k and 7k (enjoy each in different way, can't say I enjoy which more).
7+1 is good too but I need some help with skinning if I want to play that >.< and too lazy to ask for help.

3. WER space IOP for 7k, ERIO for 4k.
Default too low for me. One row up feels much better.

4. About 6 months.
o!m is my first vsrg.

5. Tough question. There are so many songs that are cool in different ways.

6. I don't know any type of patterns lol XD probably streams and bursts?

7. Solo.

8. Any player that are nice and enjoy game to the fullest

9. Lieselotte and Rumia in 7k, Spy and Tidek in 4k.
Damn why did Liese quit ><

10. Both. But mostly ranked as i don't know much unranked maps my level XD

11. I really enjoy it as my first vsrg. But i'll also try other rhythm games in the future. O2Jam and SM maybe?

I ignored the polish o!m player FB group circlejerk blatantly going out after my posts.
But now my posts are being deleted.
Fuck this.
I'm out of this mistimed, misinformed and mismanaged shit.

P.S. One of our standard world cup players admitted to taking drugs to enhance performance, and other was considering it. Depending on how long you keep chat logs, you may still have proof on your servers.

It's now been 6-8 months. It's crazy how fast time flies. With all of that being said, let's do this again and compare.

ChristianSnow wrote:
It's been 2 months since I started playing o!m, so I thought I would do this again, considering I'm now a ~~pro~~!

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
I switched from Guitar Hero to osu! as my go-to game. I knew that there was a 'Guitar Hero gamemode', but I didn't know what it was called. I found out it was osu!mania and now I get to have the best of both worlds.

2. What is your favorite keymode?
~~4k or 5k. I have yet to encounter 2k or 3k, but they sound alright.~~
~~4k. I still love 7k, 6k, and 5k, though.~~
4k.

3. What is the layout of your favorite keymode?
~~Standard. (DF JK) (DF JKL)~~
~~4k = XC ,.~~
4k= XCBN
5k = XC M,.
6k = QWE JKL
~~7k = QWER JKL~~
7k = SDF JKL

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
~~About a week.~~
~~2 months.~~
About 8 months. Jesus....

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
~~Sedap Malam and Utakata, Ai no Mahoroba are my current favorites.~~
I love Blue Army and End Time. Those are unranked, though. I don't really have any ranked favorites.
I still like SM and UAnM.
Although I still LOVE the songs I mentioned before, there are now too many favorite songs of mine. I have favorited them all.

6. What is your favorite type of patterning?
~~Not sure.~~
~~I think stairs. I still don't really know the names of patterns yet, even though I have been playing for 2 months.~~
I'm still not so sure about patterns. All I do is play.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
Solo.
Not striked because this is still true. I do sort of like playing multiplier, though. Gives me a chance to try to new maps.
Still true.

8. Who is your favorite osu!mania player?
~~I don't know. I just play the game.~~
~~Jhlee, Staiain, Etienne, HNC_yk, Tokiiwa, and -Halogen.~~
Staiain and jhlee.

9. Who is your favorite osu!mania mapper?
~~I don't know. I just play the game.~~
~~I'm pretty sure it's Spy. There are some others that I've seen very frequently, though.~~
I'm really not sure, I don't REALLY pay attention to the mappers unless it's important.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
I was going to say ranked, but I think I like unranked better. Unranked is just for practicing and it helps me get better so I can play ranked maps and get better accuracy and more pp so I can level up.
~~I like ranked a little better now. Only because it makes me level up. Unranked maps are usually harder and more fun, though.~~
Ranked. Unranked maps seem to be unranked for a reason, but some are alright.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
Nope. I absolutely hate it. It's the worst thing I've ever played.
Just joking, stupid question. Of course I do.
Still true. If i didn't like it, I wouldn't play it.

1. I already had experience with that kind of activity (playing piano on a computer keyboard surely is fun)
2. Everything from 4 to 7 keys goes.
3. DFJK, SDFJK, SDFJKL, ASDFJKL, so it goes on. Sometimes I switch to ER78 (numpad), WER78, WER789, QWER789
4. Useless question if you ask for just time I was here. 12 486 plays.
5. Multiple. M2U Magnolia [unranked], Scarlet Rose, Wintersun and so on.
6. Everything but jacks and speed variations.
7. Both, mostly solo.
8. No preference
9. No preference
10. I play everything I like.
11. Of course not, only stupid people play osumania.

1. One of my brothers played it. Also, a cousin played o2mania.
2. 4K and 6K - I'm learning how to use both thumbs for 5K and 7K but it's taking a while ._.
3. Default; |d|f|j|k| and |s|d|f|j|k|l|
4. Ever since I've started; about two months. I actually thought mania was the default game mode

5. Probably Yooh - snow storm -euphoria-, although Orange Heart - Mousou Katharsis has the most plays because I wanted to SS both difficulties (whilst being bad). goreshit - burn this moment into the retina of my eye is also quite nice (though I can't even complete it without No fail)
6. Don't really like any patterns much more than others
7. Solo; I don't really see a reason to play multi unless I know the other person
8. Don't have a favourite player D:
9. pp breaker
10. Ranked only, unless modding. I've got all the ranked maps and, at my skill level, they offer enough diversity for me to solely play ranked

11. No of course I do, lol

1. I wanted something that was kinda like my Guitar Hero/Rock Band comfort zone -- I knew about osu! since a few years ago, but never actually played until very recently. I actually found out that osu! had a mania mode from a Staiain video.

2. 4k, definitely

3. DF JK

4. Three months (started right after the New Year)

5. Rissyu - uni, The Quick Brown Fox - Big Money, pretty much anything that's been on SDVX (Bangin' Burst in particular)

6. Anything that doesn't involve chord-streaming or too many sustains

7. Solo

8. Halogen, probably

9. Spy, probably

10. Mostly ranked, but I have quite a few weird unranked maps (The Italian Crack Job sticks out as a specific).

11. Duh.

1. I love rhythm games. I played rock band and other various games for 8 years and became one of the top players for the community. But that got boring to me and I discovered osu through a ex-guitar hero player named Tob3GH3. I loved the general idea of osu and got hooked immediately.

2. My most comfortable keymode right now is 4k. I play 2-3.5 star beatmaps.

3. The layout i have right now is df jk

4. I've been following osu! for a while now but I never played till I got my laptop. Ive been playing osumania for about 2 weeks now.

5. my favorite osu song to listen to? probably freedom dive just because its pretty catchy

my favorite map too play is probably Electric "Sister" Bitch

6. I'm really good with stairs. Those are really fun for me.

7. I'm more of a lone wolf for self improvement. I'll probably get into multiplayer when i get a bit better.

8. My favorite Osu player is Tob3Gh3 for introducing me and Staiaind just because hes a God.

9. I've never really paid attention to mappers :/ but the one that I see often is Fullerene.

10. I prefer ranked maps just because I dont have to worry about the mapping to be wrong/ messed up or not.

11. Osumania is bae and I cant wait to see how much I'll improve in the future

Hoiiiii funny i never noticed this thread.
I try it too.

1: I saw the osu!mania World Cup 2014 and there was a REALLY cool song. This one
I wanted to play it so bad so i started with osu!mania and it was really cool so I stayed here.

2: Hard to say, i played only 4K for a very long time but started with all other key modes few month ago and all are really cool!
Depend on the song i would say 4K and 7K

Maybe i should mention that i use Co-Op for 4K (SplitStages)

3: For 4K i use "D F K L" for 7K i use "S D F Space K L Ö".

4: Since August 2014, pretty that time when i started with osu!

5: Like mentioned in 1. It's siromaru + cranky - Conflict (Vocaloid Ver.) <3

6:Fast Bursts! I love to type so fast as i can on the keyboard haha.

7: Depend. I mostly play solo but i also love to play with good friends some multiplayer

8: Oh wow, to be honest, i don't have any favorite mania player. I never really look at score board or at ranking.

9: My favorite osu!mania Mapper.. hmm.. i have some more. __M A S__ Makes REALLY fun maps, i love them. In 4K i really like Spy's Maps, they are pretty cool to play. In 7K i like shionelove's and yoshilove Maps. While i hate in 4K LN's i love them in 7K haha. They map them really good!

10: Both! Mostly i just play songs i really like. But there also really a lot of fun unranked Maps.

11: I love it

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
- I was showed the game by someone else, and the game caught my interest. I didn't immediately play the game, though - I started the game once, quit for about 10 months, and then came back to it with the intent of actually staying this time around.

2. What is your favorite keymode?
- Despite being a 4 key main, my favorite keymode is definitely 6 key. Unfortunately, there's not quite as much content out there for 6 key as there is for 7 key. It is what it is, though.

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
- I use QWE/789 for 6-key; giving that separation on the hands makes things a little easier for me to handle overall.

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
- I think it's been close to 2 years now? I've got scores on my YouTube channel that are from mid-2014, but I think I was playing before then as well.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
- I'm not entirely sure how to answer this, because I don't ever like to attribute a single piece of content as something that is my favorite - however, I will say that I definitely love Flexo123's PLVCK [Extra]. It's hardly the best map in terms of accuracy/structure, but it's a hyper-bursty map that I almost always warm up with and I've come to like it more and more.

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
- Jumpstreaming for days.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
- I prefer playing multiplayer than I do solo; meeting new players is always a fun thing and I enjoy talking to those who might not have had the chance to talk to me before. The problem that I eventually come across with multiplayer revolves around players not having certain maps and having an incredibly slow connection, making the gameplay experience subpar. Even with that, I still enjoy it.

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
- There's no way I'm going to be able to answer this. I am fond of too many players to want to just name one.

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
- Same as #8; there's no way that I'm going to be able to answer this, as there are a number of mappers that I am fond of - in fact, mapping is something that I really enjoy seeing from players, because I care more about a mapper's effort to make their own interpretation of a song compared to something that is "high quality", which is always argued upon anyway.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
- I prefer unranked maps, because there's more freedom. Some of the craziest SV/LN maps will never be ranked because of our current ranking criteria standards.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
- Yes, I do, and I don't see myself leaving anytime soon.

1: I was pretty much sick and had to find something to distract myself with. I played Osu! before but never really got far into it since I couldn't play STD well, but when deciding to figure out Mania it kinda just sucked me in.

2: 5k, but no hate on the others.

3: I use the default settings, so guess I have to nominate them, for whatever #K it's on.

4: Almost a year? I think it was late fall or winter last year that I started getting into Mania, and have been playing it since whenever I hop on Osu! (with occasional CTB and Taiko.)

5: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/324288 I haven't done most of the Mania beatmaps yet, but here's one I really liked.

6: Usually when there's a mixture of longs and singles on the side lines.

7: Multiplayer, but the majority of my friends don't play Mania, so mostly in solo anyway.

8: Ehhhh, there are names I could recognize as very pro players, but I don't really know them so I don't have a "favorite." Probably would if I knew the community more.

9: Similar case to my previous answer, and the fact that I need to check out more mania maps.

10: Ranked. I've yet to touch any unranked maps.

11: Yes, my favorite game mode.

Mainly because I want to try something new, and I was getting bored of standard at the time

2. What is your favourite key mode?

SDKL

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
~10 months

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
planet//shaper is one of my favorites

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
I prefer a lot of technical stuff, but jumptrills are probably what I can do best even though they are ass to time well

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
Solo, all the multi rooms are shit

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
Staiain comes to mind, if not it would probably be Halogen-

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
Evening and Shoegazer come to mind because of their creativity, they can show off ridiculous patterns and even extend their creativity through the use of SVs (Evening)

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
I switch between both, ranked maps are good but it lacks personality and a lot of creativity. Unranked maps show off what mappers can do when they are not restricted to a specific criteria (i.e. dump charts)

11. Do you like osu!mania?

Sure, why not? (Even though I got rsi from it sadly enough)

1. I wanted something that was kinda like my Guitar Hero/Rock Band comfort zone -- I knew about osu! since a few years ago, but never actually played until very recently. I actually found out that osu! had a mania mode from a Staiain video. (Some of my friends on the QuizUp app were obsessed with osu!, so that piqued my interest again toward the end of 2015, then I saw a video of the 2015 osu! World Cup. That's when I downloaded the game.)
2. 4k, definitely (this is still true)
3. DF JK (Switched to CV M, for a while then came back to DF JK.)
4. Three months (started right after the New Year) (Now eight-and-a-half months.)
5. Rissyu - uni, The Quick Brown Fox - Big Money, pretty much anything that's been on SDVX (Bangin' Burst in particular) (Hydria's Marble Soda map, Over the Top, Lachryma, and Galaxy Collapse)
6. Anything that doesn't involve chord-streaming or too many sustains (I'm now great with chord-streaming and a lot more consistent with LN than I was before. So, yeah. Jumpstreams and really short bursts, but not like the ones in Bangin' Burst.)
7. Solo (this is still true)
8. Halogen, probably (jakads, Asrielly, _Quit_)
9. Spy, probably (I'm in a love-hate relationship with Fresh Chicken's maps right now. Fullerene is great too.)
10. Mostly ranked, but I have quite a few weird unranked maps (The Italian Crack Job sticks out as a specific). (this still applies, but now the weird maps include an SDVX remix of the Chinese national anthem and a mashup of System of a Down and Thomas the Tank Engine. Thanks, Staiain!)

I do. As its a super high lesrning curve + the overwelming introductions of community made beatmaps.

The fact that its a community ran game, the content is never endless. Standards go up and up as time passes by. And i get to improve way faster than my DJMAX days. (Y)

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
I felt like playing a rhythm game since it felt like forever from when I last played one

2. What is your favourite keymode?
4k. 6k is neat too but it's tough to find a good selection of maps from what I've seen

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
DFJK

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
2 or 3 months? I forget

Tough one, but at the moment it's Ikasama Life Game because it's currently a goal I'm working towards completing.

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
Any pattern that doesn't have those voltex swoosh things. I'm really not a fan of how it just gives an opportunity to add a random burst to a song.

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
Solo because I'm too afraid of failing with a group of people LOL

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
No one at the moment. I don't watch content for osumania

Haven't spent enough attention looking at who maps what to be fair.

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
Ranked, but if the song is good I'll stick around and play the unranked ones

11. Do you like osu!mania?

Yeah! The fact that there's an active playerbase that can make maps allows for serious replay value.

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
I decided to play Osu!Mania when I saw the performance of some of the players in the MWC 2015 in which I told myself, I want to be just like that(:P). I started out with Osu!standard but later got bored with it which made mania more compelling, with the promise of no tedious combo score or hp drain which even when I was a noob I thought was just silly.

2. What is your favourite keymode?
Data has it that I got a high concentration of key presses, primarily in 4 keys

I also enjoy 7K and surprisingly 5K(Try it, it's fun).

3. What is the layout of your favourite keymode?
SDJK
SD[Space]JK
ASDJKL
ASD[Space]JKL
Although it certainly has changed a lot and I used to be a firm believer in SD45(numpad)(Not anymore).

4. How long have you been playing osu!mania? (not including other games)
Almost a year.

5. Which osu!mania song do you like the most?
Tokyo Teddy Bear, because of it's non-inflated hard difficulty, also because the song is fun. Shoutout to AiAe and Grief&Malice.

6. What is your favourite type of patterning?
Jump streams/Chord streams. I used to hate it a lot since it used to be my worst pattern but due to the pure nature of me I simply made it my best and strongest pattern(and I'm loving it).

7. Do you prefer to play in multiplayer or solo?
Solo because I can get a more in depth look at my score and compare it to other and I can keep the rate of song going at a much faster pace without having to worry about players dl, readying up etc. I still enjoy a good multi run with some of my friends as you can often shit talk back and forward(all for fun of course

)

8. Who is your favourite osu!mania player?
As a Scandinavian I would have to say Staiain

9. Who is your favourite osu!mania mapper?
Probably Fullerene- or IcyWorld(These two are mainly SM players so idk). Otherwise I don't pay much attention to player name unless they give me huge trouble... Calling out Cadmium-113!

10. Do you like to play unranked or ranked maps?
Most of the good songs in my skill bracket are in unranked so it would only be natural to answer that as they tend to be hard and not difficulty inflated by adding stupid jack/roll/(lol let's just spam the screen with notes) sections.

11. Do you like osu!mania?
I think it has some major flaws with the pure nature of the star system which encourages shitty ranked maps to be developed and ranked. Not to talk about the large ignorance of Mania by the developers which in my opinion is a huge waste of opportunity. Plus the game lack basic feature such as speed rating(seriously I would enjoy the game 70% more if they added this) and let's not get ourself into the PP system. However I can't say I don't enjoy this game as PP is certainly satisfying to get while competing against other players. Not to mention all the different amount of people I've met through this game. It's overall leaning towards a positive side but can still worked upon.

Only join if you can speak swedish and play mania(obviously).

1. Why did you start playing osu!mania?
Played mostly standard for a while and reached a point where it wasn't really fun to play anymore and was frustrating. Mania was interesting and less stressful

though it's likely I'll run into the same skill issues, but I'll try to fix them by focusing on playing fun maps and improving.

2. What is your favourite keymode?
7k, followed by 4k
