That sounds like an excuse. There are a lot of ways for you to reduce the rhythmic burden on your body in this game. I don't believe the limiting factor for almost anyone is the actual physical act of performing the game, barring some kind of serious physical handicap. Being able to comprehend the barrage of input demands this game throws at your brain and produce precise outputs in return is the part that separates the weak from the strong, and that's all mental. Playing this game might feel hard on your body, but that's only due to our inefficiency in creating outputs. Someone who is brand new can wear themselves out playing two star maps because they have no muscle memory or technical skill and therefore waste enormous amounts of kinetic energy.No.
First off - my left hand is weak due several shit situations irl.
Second - I already had surgery due RSI and not made by osu! specifically but due how much time i spend on computer and how many years I work that way (including weird hand positions on keyboard). osu was just a trigger. It ended up on 7 months inactivity in osu and any rhythm game. I bet if i could do same shit for right hand, it would end same way. You don't imagine how much pain it is to not being able to move your hand properly, not being able to sleep due how much pain is produced by stupid carpal tunnel - that's why I have so much laugh at all this noobs claiming "hey, I have RSI". This stupid cunts doesn't even know how painfull it is.
Third - All tapping what i do, I use fingers, only fingers. Whenever i use wrist to "tap faster", it ends up being a nightmare for next hours. Why? Read "Second".
I am physically unable to bypass certain speed level, deal with it. Doesn't matter how much talented i could be - there is a limit where my progression stop.
Don't tell me about "excuses" because I am probably last one here who makes one.
Sounds like you got my point the wrong way.
Obviously actual physical (and mental) disabilities will make you progress slower or hinder any ability to play / obtain a certain level of speed.
I was speaking about this mystery of "natural talent" / "being born that way" so to say.
It should be common sense that you can't play well or can't play at all if you have no hands,(well maybe some people could actually do it) are severely or even slightly injured. That goes without saying.
You not being able to progress in osu!, as you said yourself, is due to you being injured and not because all other people around you are "gifted" (in the sense of talent, not related to health) or certain individuals being gifted, it's just the situation that's holding you back.
