Help With Sensitivity and Tablet Area Playing Size?

Hello comrades. I have a request of you all. Can you share your tablet playing area and sensitivity so I can get some ideas as to where to set mine at. I've been s screwing around with mine lately and I can't seem to find a comfortable area and sensitivity on my own. Sometimes I'll try full tablet area with 2.2 S or about 60% the size of a normal white envelope with 3 S. I just can't find the right area to really feel comfortable with all ranges of motion.

I have trouble doing vertical jumps, and I have even more trouble doing any sort of jumping in the bottom right corner of my tablet/screen. I've always had trouble holding pens and pencils properly, and would consider the way I write and hold my pen to be different then most. So, seeing/hearing about other peoples methods, I might find something I find more comfortable then the way I currently hold and aim my pen.

The same way mouse players start to drift, I feel that the angles my pen points starts to drift and it messes with my aim. A map that really shows me this is https://osu.ppy.sh/s/316761 [Serenity]. The shapes of the sliders and the angles of the jump offset my aim a lot.

So if you could post what your sensitivity is, what your tablet playing area looks like (sorry mouse players) and if possible, a picture of the way you hold your pen.

Hearing other people's tablet areas means nothing. All I can suggest is that you play with ingame sensitivity at 1.0 and only change the tablet area

You are not supposed to play 5* maps anyway.

There is no "best" area, the higher the area the better your aim will become, though. More room to work with, better developing of muscle memory plus higher presicion. If you change your tablet area every second day you will develop no muscle memory at all, so pick something that is comfortable to you and stick to it. Some pro players like Totori change it occasionally, I don't know if that is a smart move, but they probably know what they are doing.

Uhh, am I not supposed to do 6* maps either? I don't find 4* maps fun at all, I feel I'm on the spot because those are the range of maps I'm capable of FCing and that just causes me to rage really easy when I miss something that I shouldn't have missed. It's just more stressful playing them, then messing around with 5.3-6* maps.
I tried what sandy said and turned my sensitivity down to 1, but in turn I have to make my tablet area the size of a credit card to feel like I'm not trying to move the cursor 2 miles to reach a jump.

If you don't find the thing you need to do most of all in order to improve fun, then you're fucked and should stop worrying about improving.

The way I look at it now, it's not like FCing some stupid TV sized 4.5* map is going to magically make me better at the game permanently, like a step up a staircase. Simply playing the game and doing what I guess I find fun will in my mind, hopefully, lead to me becoming a better overall player, capable of FCing those TV sized maps and more with relative ease. Otherwise, if that doesn't work, I don't know why I'm still playing this god forsaken game still.

There are 4* maps that aren't TV sized...

When you fc a combination of dozens tv sized and non tv sized in your top 20 pp that progressively move up the star rating, you will.

I know, that's just my example. I've been trying to FC https://osu.ppy.sh/b/859001&m=0 [Moecho's Another] for the last few days, so I'm aware of the different types of maps, even at 4 SR.

I've noticed I have improved, based on my tops scores, but also simply by what I can comprehend to read and what I can now consider easy that I once considered hard. I can't take the pp system seriously anymore after my 3rd highest pp score I obtained the the other day. https://osu.ppy.sh/b/672429&m=0 [CBH's Insane Glue] DT 96.64% 174/178 FC. I did that on my first try of the map, just messing around with DT and ever since I got that score, I can't get good accuracy, let alone FC that map. It's all just luck to me right now.

Well first of all, don't DT 3* anything. Until you can DT something that's 4.00* or greater, it's not really worth it in terms of improving.

Secondly, who the fuck cares if one file you have is a bit overrated? It's one out of 20 I said were important and one out of all 100 that count. It doesn't stop you in any way from trying harder for files that give less pp than that one.

Everyone is overranked anyway. Honestly, the most impressive plays pro players did are worth nothing. Just naming Totoris lindwurm FC (like 250pp?), which is an insane score and underweighted af.

@Manfred I FCd like 1400 4* maps and there is so much diversity in that starrange. I always play 4* maps, as warmup, for fun, for improvement, sadly not for pp anymore.
Come to think of, if it's THAT easy to climb in the current system then proof it. People just tend to abandon other skills for aim+accuracy, it doesn't mean they are bad, they just suck at the stuff they didn't play.

I just went back and tried to FC any map at 4* rating. I FCed 1 map, and its was 40 seconds long, you might be able to guess (HAI) what it was. I mean I don't know what's up, but when I go back to try maps at 4* my fingers actually go slack sometimes AR 9 is actually too slow for me to play comfortably, so I have to slow myself down so much to the point where my body doesn't actually react to notes at all. Instead of practicing AR 9 I'm going to have to ignore any advice given to me telling me to play at "my level" of 4* maps. I can't fucking stand almost any of them. I don't care if it doesn't get me anywhere, I'm sticking with 5.5* + and just being happy with passing maps with an A for the time being.

I know this isn't special AT ALL, but for me it was a big accomplishment, and tough as fucking nails to actually pass. https://osu.ppy.sh/b/979547&m=0 [StaR's Extra] 90.79% accuracy B ranking. To me, that was fun to pass, wasn't worth jack shit but to pass a 6* map at 227 bpm, made me feel less shitty.

Also https://osu.ppy.sh/s/440827. Again, not an impressive score by other higher ranked players standards, but a 89.90% B is another score I can be happy with, and had fun trying to get. I still go back frequently to try and better my score at that, and I find that fun. So my point here is I guess, I'm doing what I find fun, and 4* maps aren't part of that.

I think this thread was originally about Tablet or sensitivity or sum shit, who cares anymore.

That's some scary stuff, AR 8 I can handle with HD but I've never tried AR 6 outside of 2-3* maps. Sounds like fun.

A few posts ago on this thread Cirno9 mentioned Totori, and now that you've mentioned WWW I mine as well bring up one of my favorite plays that in my eyes, is just mindblowing. If you've ever seen WWW's #2 single tapping on https://osu.ppy.sh/s/137377 then you can probably agree that that play is just unbelievable, that play is what gave me the push to get into playing higher BPM maps.

I swear, a friend and me had a DJPOP masterrace. We picked his legendary maps and aimed for #1 in friend rankings. I even got an S rank on that "marisa stole the precious thing" map.

Oldschool stamina workout (legends say my fingers still burn).

@Manfred, if you are already on it, the ar8/od8 nightcore maps from the nightcore beatmap packs are incredible. You feel the rhythm, gr8 mapping imo.

That's the file where I learned you can hold one button for spinners and use the other buttons for hitting circles.
