How i get better was just play the game for fun, i did not bother about AR,OD,Hp and blah blah. But of course, song category would be by difficulty so that it is easier to navigate through songs. For 1.5 years i did not even know(like legit) what is AR and stuff and continued playing till i actually went to YouTube and found some amazing streamers and when i knew what the options were, i saw that most of the maps i did was AR, 8-9 and was playing about 5 star. That's how i did it and sorry for trashy English. <3

I think you did a good job and i appreciate the guide !! Also the thing i find hard to understand is the motion thing with Ehh Less movement xD hard to explain when i dont understand iT but i think that thats my problem xD

I noticed something pretty odd. For two days I made huge improvement and next two days seemed like I lost all the improvement I've made (I've actually played worse than usual). I played almost the entire day on all four days. I don't know if this is normal, but I just find it kind of odd that you suddenly can't play as well as you did a few days before regardless of playing for hours. You surely have enough time to warm up.

You just played too much and were tired.

Does it really take that long to "recover"? I did sleep like 8-9 hours every night. Shouldn't you easily "recover" in that time?
Deva
It really depends on how much did you tire yourself out.
For example once i played 200bpm deathstreams for something like 3-4 hours and for the next 2 days i couldnt tap properly at all.

Im guessing that you didnt go that far as i did so break for 1 day will probably do it.

Once it took my hands a full week to recover from me being retarded and playing far too long
Deva
What did you do to end up like that?
Mahogany
I played hardcore for like 8 hours

And my hands had started hurting at the 4 hour mark

I'm so lucky I don't have RSI

Might take me that long too. I played ~8 hours on two days in a row. Not as hardcore as you did, but that's expected as I'm not as experienced played and I probably have less stamina too. I took the one day break like suggested and now I'm performing worse than before the break. Playing feels really difficult all of a sudden... Or could there be another reason why this is happening?

EDIT: Okay, I haven't recovered yet. My hand started hurting after playing one ~3 min map in a multiplayer (~3.5* probably) :/
Mahogany
If one day doesn't do it, come back in 3 days. That tends to work for me usually.

For me.. Improving hard diff to insane diff is kinda hard.
Idk why, but sometimes i play insane diff i got good perform, and sometimes got a really really bad perform.

Have you tried "warming up" before moving insane diff? When you start playing, play 30-60 min hard diffs (or longer if needed) to warm up and then start moving towards insane diffs. Another big help is sitting right and using headphones (removes surrounding distractions such as keyboard mashing sounds). I have noticed that if I sit right (not leaning back or hunched over), I can perform better. Another thing is that you need to sit in a high enough chair to be able to have your shoulders relaxed and try to have your wrists straight. These have helped me, so try them and see if they are helping (of course you might not see the effects right away).

Don't look at difficulty name. Look at star rating instead.

Some insane diffs have low star rating so they might be easier than other insane diffs

There is no tricks that make you better. You just have to invest a lot of time into the game.
Spooky_Myon
Interestingly for me, the only case I am facing is squares. Somehow I always fail at that no matter what method i try lol.
Mahogany
Because you're looking at them as a pattern

You need to see them as individual point-to-point jumps and it gets a lot easier
Endaris
Or you just develop good muscle memory for the pattern "square".
Looking at multiple circles as patterns helps tremendously with reading.
Rather take that advice as "don't aim for the last note of the square before you hit the other ones".

I actually find it a lot easier to look at a square pattern as a square rather than 4 circles.
But i still get better results when bothering with each note individually so...i dont even know anymore...

Tried that before, rather kind of worse as I don't have those kind of brain reflex, and even worse when the direction of the square changes.

I never see them as a pattern neither do i bother to, i always see things far apart as a 'jump' only, triangle or square.

Hay, thanks for the tips buddy, that helped a lot.
I put to the test that stream and slider thing and boy is it hard, but i did notice a BIG difference
(i can do a song that i couldn't do before because of a big f4k!ng stream, yay ^w^)
anyway thank you so much x3

Do you think that playing maps that are too difficult to beat with No Fail would help improving? Of course not going from 4,5* to 7*, but something that you could beat after some practice.

Imo it helps if you are playing maps that you can get decent acc one. It obviously wont help at all if what you are doing is simply a spam fest.

Yeah, obviously not like that :D
Half time probably helps with maps with complicated object order. One I have trouble with is two short sliders and then a circle. This map has a lot of them during the drop. Another one is a stack with a short slider at the end and immediately a new stack after it. I guess this is because I'm used to starting stacks and streams with my index finger and the slider usually falls on that finger and I need to start the next stack with middle finger and it messes me up ^^'

Now to next thing:
Would playing songs with fast streams be good way to learn to stream faster? I can do short fast streams (~5 circles) just fine, but longer ones I usually fall behind (slower streams I can do pretty long ones quiet easily). Another odd thing is that in some songs I can stream better than in others regardless of them having same tempo. At the moment I'm trying to get streams in ~175 BPM maps at least somewhat consistent (speed wise).

Over the past 5 days, I've randomly ran into a problem, where I "let go" on around 50% of sliders, as if I'm not putting enough pressure on my keys or something, (It feels like my fingers are sliding off the keys sometimes) but no matter what I do I cannot fix it... Does anyone have any sort of idea for me?

If you're using a rubberdome, try switching keys regularly. They stiffen up with use, but will unstiffen if you leave them alone for a while.

it has nothing to do with that since, the problem persists whenever I change keys... It has something to do with the way I'm clicking, but no matter what I do I cant find a way to fix it

So how the hell can i get rid of shitmissing? What can be the cause of it? Don't just say play more, i already play like +5h of osu! everyday so that is not the reason for me not building that consistancy.. And no, i am not playing only boring TV sizes, i play big variety of maps from Hollow Wings, Camellia maps, to higher and lower bpm maps.. I also play unranked maps, and I also picked up playing AR8 while ago to further improve reading. I also challenge myself playing harder maps. But i just can't get that consistancy on 4.4-5 star maps that i SHOULD be able to fc or at least get good combo with little effort..

I can see the improvement on being able to pass harder maps all the time, but i don't see any improvement in ability in being able to get higher combo on the maps i could pass.

I think someone is gonna ask now if i change my settings often. No, i haven't changed tablet area, resolution, or anything in a long time, and only thing i'm sometimes changing is skin and cursor size.

Any help? :D
Xyrus_old_1
You will always shitmiss. Playing with your ideal settings and playing more can reduce this, but there will always be inevitable misses.
stalkyh
Yes, but you can build up that consistancy so there is less shitmisses. Especially on easier maps that maps that you should be able to FC.
Endaris
The better your average accuracy is, the less likely it is to miss. I often find myself missing after I misread a pattern because I got out of rhythm and because it tilts me when I get the impression that I am mashing.
Accuracy is the best indicator of how much control you got over what you are doing and aimconsistency is part of that control. There are also people who are very aimconsistent with not-so-great acc but a correlation certainly does exist.
stalkyh
I just realized that when i'm using more fingers than wrist i am more consistant. Also having hand below the tablet makes me more consistant, than when i'm having my hand on the tablet when playing (i have large area). Also i think i need to focus a bit more to notes than i am currently focusing, to further increase my consistancy. Also i think i will start playing small cs size to improve aiming as well as play more ar8 to improve reading.

https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/5558440
I just choked a play, sliderbreak at last 20 notes because i was shaking so much.. Also bit of acc choke (had 99% at first)
Rdzu
Try to focus a lot when you feel the shitmiss coming. At least it works for me because when I shitmiss it's because I lose my focus as the map goes.

You have to elaborate on BAD HABITS
"The best way to do something is to do it right the first time. If you learn to do it right the first timeeven if it is more difficult, it will be one less thing to worry about later on."

If it's a difficult map instead of mashing what could you do? you have to answer questions like that

Well, the thing is that all of the above are not what I have problems with. I am surprisingly good at moving my mouse to the right spot. The only thing I do have a problem with is clicking. A.k.a. tripple clicks (or more). Especially in really fast maps, I can follow all of the notes with my mouse, but I just can't click it in time. Is there any way you could help me?

Well, you're just going to get better at being bad, and if you get better at being bad, that means you're just going to get worse.

A bunch of unnecessary words to say that if you are constantly practicing with bad habits, you're only going to get worse not better which makes sense. Think of any bad habit you've had, have had, or have broken, ITS REALLY DIFFICULT!! Not only is it difficult to break bad habits it's also hard to stop them from reoccurring later on.

The best way to do something is to do it right the first time. If you learn to do it right the first timeeven if it is more difficult, it will be one less thing to worry about later on.
This is so true. Learned this the hard way. I used to improve relatively fast at first, but with harder songs I started developing this habit of squeezing the pen really hard while playing. Soon enough my wrist started hurting just after a couple songs, not even very difficult ones, which not only made it harder to play, but caused frustration as well causing me to lose concentration very fast..

My best scores (which are really not all that impressive, to be honest) were set 2-3 years back and now I'm nowhere close to the level I've been at back then. I've improved in some areas such as reading and alternating, but my overall skill dropped significantly. I'm still struggling with this. I really wish I could get rid of this habit, to enjoy the game as much as I used to when I could feel the improvement.

Oh yes, pretty much everythin is true. Except the tablet part, after half a day I was already better with the tablet than with my mouse but that´s for some part cuz im kinda shaky and being able to completele lay down my hand while using a pen gives me more control.

Also I feel like what Legxis said almost deserves to move up to the big points, not only quotes. The map pool is really dam important, just had the problem myself. Was stuck for quite some time and since I downloaded ~300 new maps i skyrocketed (atleast in my own perspective).

After analyzing your replays, I see some issues that actually do take a while to fix, but these are fixes that can be mended naturally when playing harder maps.
1. Your snapping looks a bit too "flowy," sort of ironic, but I see it within Blue Zenith and Everything Will Freeze. Just be a little snappier like in your Invisible replay.
2. This is not really an issue, but just a warning and my preference, | https://s13.postimg.org/555xohhpj/screenshot030edit.jpg |, you will probably see a pattern like that in maps faster than that. I would recommend that you would practice using two fingers, I used paint to show the pattern.
3. To improve, put DT on those songs. Then once you become comfortable, then start going up to harder songs. Well, that's a longer way of saying "just play more."

Last thing, why does your replays show that your M1 is being pressed? It doesn't look like it is interfering with anything, but I am just curious...

Two fingers problem (mostly) fixed. I just needa learn how to do it correctly. :3

I'm guessing you mean Double Time? If so, ok. Though I'd like to play offline to do so, so this doesn't affect my overall accuracy, but idk how. Do I just log off of my account, or is there something in the settings?

Last thing, why does your replays show that your M1 is being pressed? It doesn't look like it is interfering with anything, but I am just curious... I recently just fixed this, but I play with a tablet and when I would tap and hold with the pen, it would register it as a left click and hold. This not only messed me up on some parts because it would randomely register clicks, but it prevented me from using two fingers, because my left click key on my keyboard wouldn't register left clicks properly. I learned that turning off mouse click inputs in the osu! settings would fix this, so I can now play using two fingers :3

Hmm, I don't really know the best way to say it, but when your snapping from circle to circle, it's like liquid. When snapping really fast towards a circle, you'll tend to have an initial forward motion as you try to get your cursor to the hit circle/slider, then once you reach that destination, there will be a backwards motion to keep it in place.

Yeah, you can log off, or turn on Spun Out mod. The difference is that spun out will do the spinning for you, but it will unrank that play. I honestly wouldn't worry if your overall accuracy decreases. If I have low accuracy (which I still do), then I would be more willing to improve myself.

Would you say the difference is shown between these two gifs, where I've exaggerated the motions?:

If not, bleh ok oh well

Imagine tracing your cursor's path:
- When you land and press on the circle, your cursor should briefly stop, as if drawing the corner of a polygon
- Compare your cursor's movement to the autopilot's (which is near-optimal, if not optimal), you'll notice the autopilot far more rigid, precise, in its cursor movement. It moves to a circle, stops, presses, moves to the next one
- The autopilot won't sweep over circles while clicking on the way through them, which is what "flowy" looks like (the gist of it)
- This seems a bit odd at first but it's to build solid consistency and lets people play faster without getting into a mess
But I'm sure some people out there make it work somehow...

Just sharing. Peace.

Ever since I switched to tablet and just had a "oh f*ck it, who cares" personality with my score, I actually got out of the normal difficulty after 2 YEARS!!! Damn that was long.



I was actually still using mouse when I got into the hard (3*) levels and I switched to tablet ever since we got one. For me, I adapted easily since I'm used to using pens. That said, I still had a hard time when I first switched and really went tsundere with the tablet and prefered the mouse when playing. But when I got used to it, insane (4*) levels became easier. Now I use the tablet whenever I play.

And half a year later after starting hard, I got here and still improving. There are times when I get slumps and hurt myself when playing but it didn't stop me.

Alot of things happened to me from what you said. I passed some difficulties and still challenging others.

My timing sucks, the more intense the music ( doesnt matter the actual mapping ) the better/worse I play and my focus runs out quicker that a piese of wood with gasoline set on fire .
*this is fu%#^&g long reply*
*couch* Point is that trying and liking the game ( I give up games that I dont like on the first try ) are extremely important.
Next -> Is tablet better than mouse?
No its not!!! The thing is that the mouse has advantages ( for me ) over the tablet. Since my focus isnt too good i'm not gonna split it between both keyboard and mouse or keyboard and tablet or try a new style of playing with tablet only. Use the one that you are accustomed with ( did I say it right? ).
Example: My sister uses her phone ( the PC IS MINE ) so tablet would be closer to her style. ( not always but just an example )
I use my PC 80% of total technology time ( maybe even more ) so mouse is better for me.
But as it was stated above PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
This is everything that comes to mind right now. Maybe it wasnt important what I said ( I dont give a f%$^ ). But at least I said that what he said was really important and useful.

Good Luck and have fun with Osu!

Hi.

I know this is pretty much a dead thread now that it's been three years since it was posted, but I wanted to say thanks for putting all of this information in one place, I found it very helpful.

P.S - My mouse and keyboard are both wireless so they're shit :)

I wonder if being able to play a musical instrument or having the knowledge of musical terminology helps with osu
