Preferred maps for practicing streams?

"keyboard breaking". Almost anything by nana mizuki has easy streams (but they're not really unexpected).

I'm good at streams from stepmania/other rhythm games though. It's a roundabout way to do it, but if you play other rhythm games you will get better at the non-mouse portion of osu.

It's only gay if the sliders touch.

Funny thing really

I used to play stepmania constantly. Got REALLY good at it.

These maps are really helpful

Now I just have to find a way to make it into the top 20 players.. hmmm...

Playing one map over and over won't do much other than make you really good at that particular map.

You can practice 200 BPM streams all day, but that won't help you when you download a 140 BPM stream map or a "blue tick stream" map.

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

Dunno about you, but I got better at streams after I started playing Kanbu.

When I started, I couldn't do Marisa or jtb because I clicked waaaay too fast. Playing Kanbu certainly isn't going to help out with that because I'll just hit FASTER.

If your problem is that you can't hit fast enough, then by all means, play Kanbu. If your problem is that you get 300 100 100 50 100 300 100 50 50 100 100 50 300 100 50, then no amount of practicing "stream maps" will likely help, ESPECIALLY Kanbu, since you can just "brute force" most of it, and the BPM is wrong anyway. Just play everything.

It also depends on your sense of rhythm. If you're getting bad accuracy on streams, it means you're clicking too fast or too slow. Playing maps like Kanburisa, which has a long 200BPM stream, will get you better at keeping same rhythm throughout the stream.

Thing is those Marisa maps are crap, have few streams which are stupidly long and it seems the BPM is wrong, there are better maps for streaming than that.

Pretty much most of the beatmania/BMS maps.

i'm wondering.. is it possible and recommended to try streams with mouse? my keyboard is not actually that suited for this game, cherry clears.. i haven't played many maps with streams in it yet, but some had triple 1/4ths, which usually go fine at 300s with mouse. however, when trying longer streams it usually drops. could be due to lack of practise, though. it is hard for me to move my mouse on streams, because i play at 3500dpi and every click makes my cursor jump a bit. should i keep practicing with my setup or switch to keyboard for streams? maybe lower dpi to 1800 and get used to that?

edit: wow, sorry for bumping such an old thread. but i'm curious.

It's awesome if you can do streams with mouse; there are only a handful that can do it effectively.

Feel free to contact me at those[at]ppy[dot]sh for any questions regarding the game!

I've played only mouse since I started, and it feels really good to be able to do streams like this, I can't make 200bmp streams very well, I tried with keyboard, and it seemed quite easier, but it's not that fun, you will eventualy be able to do good streams with your keyboard, but if it doesn't make you happy (?), it's not worth it. That's just my opinion anyways.
