Just curious to hear what other people have to say about this. Like the title says, what is your weakest thing you do in osu? It can be literally anything in the game, from cross screen jumping to doubles or triples or even an obsession with hentai combo burst that distract you. I just want to know what other people have trouble with.

Now that you've thought of what you're worst at, what ways are you going about improving on that? Me personally, I am inconsistent as hell and get frustrated easily, so juggling those 2 things is what I'm currently trying to better myself at. I see other players and get jealous that they have only 5k more plays then me but have 300pp scores, so hearing from those people may help me better myself, may one day I be able to FC anything worth a damn. Kisses to you all.

doubles

i got better but i still sometimes can't differentiate whether to singletap or alternate the doubletaps ahead.

Otherwise, I get really pissed and have great urge to restart a map if I break combo on a map I believe I could easily fc (which is sometimes not the case tbh) and just waste time restarting / start missing a bunch because idgaf about keeping combo anymore.

I guess it'll get better the less shitmisses I start to make.


stamina too but I just dont do long maps lelll

Deathstream 40+ notes. Just losing control of it, and getting full 100's. Improving by playing more, helps. Info 100%

Stamina, stream speed, low ar reading, stream jumps, jump streams, spaced stream, high BPM (230+) maps, HR, low BPM maps, prematurely tap the note under and after the last note of a stream, cursor dance, following through the entire slider, BPM change, meter change, linear flow, overlapping sliders, crippling depression, anything smaller than cs5

Playcount isn't everything, remember that (meh I alr have 30k plays and 80% of them are just retries due to shtmisses in the beginning of songs and plays that aren't pp worth)

OT: Have many, but mostly my problem are patterns that requires alternating (streams, bursts, doubles, etc.) except triples.

N0thingSpecial, your thing about CS really hits home harder then anything, I'd love to give hr more of a chance, AR 10 is tough but quickly becoming doable, OD 10 is really rough but would improve my timing, but if the map is your average run of the mill 4.8* map the CS often goes to 5.5 or even 6 and that is just downright unacceptable to me.

KupcaH I can't single tap too rapidly or stream for too long or my elbow actually completely locks up, like the joint gets locked and I have to crack my elbow to get proper movement back. Deathstreams are probably some of the toughest shit the game has to offer, so your struggle is real.

kai99 One of my most recent highest scores Manoeuvres - Mad World (Station Earth Remix) [Divine] (96.72%) 103pp (fucking pathetic, I know) has 4 doubles that has made me restart the song so many times, and in that score obviously screwed over my ACC hard. Doubles are either really easily if placed right or really confusing to me too.

Sandy Hoey I can't either, we need advice from Riviclia.

I agree about higher bpm, stuff gets stupid hard real quick, if it gets above 230 it starts to get fucky for me. I'll leave higher bpm to pros, If you can HDHR 99% something at 260 bpm, you are a god in my eyes. One of the most impressive plays as of recent for me, is Filsdelamas Eighto SS choke.

High bpm. Well recently i started getting better, and now i am able to do some maps 240 bpm with an avarage acc. But i am still not even close to being able to play low 4* with dt.

oh and my hr skills are trash, mostly bcuz of my trash ar 10 reading.

Aiming. Seriously, my aim is so inconsistent, give me 2 fullscreen jumps and I'm fine, make that 4 easy jumps and I'll miss :p

I'm practicing 5* maps that are 5* because of their spacing, it somewhat helps improving with aiming and I'm finishing all songs I play which gives me the feel that 90 seconds is like nothing.

Same goes for my "precision", aiming cs5+ is living hell for me. Playing Irre maps is like going for a pass, but I'm working on it.

Not sure if I should add this, but I can't read high ARs, I don't have to play anything above AR9 so I never learned AR10.

By tics go overdrive after 2 mins of the song, so that's that
also I'm really bad with sliders, like 90% of my chokes and misses are slider-related

Choking on easy shit is so demotivating for me that I often quit out of the game in about 1.2 seconds before I start really getting pissed off. Choking and shtimissing aren't much of a weakness, but more like an integral part of my being, I am shitmiss incarnate.

Also, I'm actually suffering from the reverse of some of you, I can read AR 10 fairly well, but my favorite and my problem right now is I can only read 9.3-9.7 really well. If I try to read AR 9 I'm way too early and have way more trouble on simple jumps. This game gets me so worked up sometimes I consider lightly cutting the tip of my pointer finger with a knife so I can't tap with it, making me free from playing the game for a few days or so.

Stream consistency (still regularly stop randomly), Stream control (almost never have a stream that's all 300 because I can't keep my speed), Stream speed (200+ r 2 fast), Stream stamina, Lack of jump consistency, AR10+ (but tbh I don't think I'd need this skill), Accuracy/Clicking consistency (Best is only 110 UR on a simple map pp map lol), High BPM Singletaps (Not sure where it starts to be "fast" but I alternate everything so idk)

And the worst thing is I haven't tried to improve on these parts so I would probably still be bad for a long time lul, there's also lots of other weak parts but I think these are my current worst.

Aiming circles near the border/limit of the playfield, i'm just not comfortable reaching those places with this mouse, mainly because my pinky drags and interferes with it

can't aim technical parts of map
low stamina, aim easily falls apart on long maps without breaks due to mouse drift

Aim, speed, streamus, ar9+, combo consistency. Ppl say I'm consistant but fk that I can't combo much at all most of the time. Also, I tend to drift.... A LOT.

I take it you mean single tapping? If so, although I have no right to be telling you whats good and whats bad, hear me out. I had the exact same problem just last week, I couldn't single tap past 190 bpm at all. If I tried to hit at it harder my arm would cramp and lock up. But over about a week I started playing a lot of "lower then 110 bpm" maps and also doing some other shameful stuff that actually worked!

I would put on autopilot and tap to maps that are all about single tapping speed. You know, https://osu.ppy.sh/s/332532 and https://osu.ppy.sh/s/472143 and even messed around with https://osu.ppy.sh/b/839569. I started to develop that wrist tapping motion that makes it very easy to tap at higher bpm with little issue. So while I can't aim to these maps still, I can now tap as fast as them which is guess you could say is 50% of the battle done (not really obviously).

I honestly feel like I'm speaking out of place because of my lack of anything noteworthy, but I faced a similar problem and wanted to tell you my solution.

I even tried to break my wrist to https://osu.ppy.sh/s/137377 and I mean, I'm surprised I could keep up with it at all.

I've played the same amount this week as I did the week before, and the week before that and so on. I had trouble tapping over 200bpm, I try specifically to improve on that and I do. So yeah, I played the game, but I didn't play it anymore or less. I just chose what to work at. Get that weak ass "play more" out of here. Because the next person who mentions play more is getting decapitated by a claymore.

You know, you could always tl;dr that and get your point across more effectively.

oh yeah, play more if you want to get decent

That's exactly what play more means, it's cumulative.
