A couple of them know, but only one of them play somewhat actively -he has sort of an on/off relationship with the game.
Once gave him a tablet for free though, so think that helped keep the interest up.

Me and my friend play all the time, but aren't that good (2-3 star range) but osu is a great game :)

One of them actually knows what it is, because i told him :p.
IceStatic_old
I have a few friends that know about the game, but they do not play it.
Caput Mortuum
many people i know know it, but dont play it
f1shcak3
I know one of my friends introduced me to it but no longer plays, the rest have no idea what it is

I actually have a very few group of friends who know what osu! is and even a smaller number of friends who play it. Then typical response from someone who has heard of osu but has never actually explores the osu community either says one of 3 things:

1.Why osu!? why not [insert other popular game name here].

2. Only weebs play osu.


3. Osu is so easy and takes no skill.

To be honest I get pretty pissed of to hear these statements but at the end of the day were just clicking circles to the beat so we can get better at clicking more circels. :oops:
KemZii
Only three but they never want to play with me D:
Vignette-
They see it as something that looks really cool but wouldn't want to play it themselves. :c
randombeann
my irl friend group has it and we all occasionally play together lmao leads to alot of yelling if one of us messes up lmao
CatzerTM
Yes we would occasionally play together. while others quit because it as too frustrating for them
ztrot
For nine years I tried to get non music game players to pick up osu! and nothing Now that I'm not a big part of the scene now everyone asks me hey what was that one game with the cirlces... ironic if i do say so myself

i have 1 that plays and i refuse to tell him my username bc then he'd find out so much about me lmao
Jordarrian
I'm not sure if any of my friends know but I'm sure they'd quit after like an hour
Szetiark
Other than the ones who called it game for weebs, I had like 4-5 friends who played, but most of em stopped. Kinda bummed since some of them started before I did.
1 or 2 are on-n-off nowadays.
jhen_old_1
Showed it to one of my friends yesterday and he didn't get it at all. rip
Geromu Keretem
Actually, one of my, sadly, now ex-friend, introduced to me osu!, other than that, no I haven't men anyone who knew what osu! is, so far. I told my friends about, some of them tried it, then played for 1 or 2 days and uninstalled.
Otaku-Cheeto
I know like a single person irl that knows what osu is
RemmyX25
I've met some of my best friends through osu!. I also forced it a lot when I was younger, and may have made people think I'm crazy. Not something I'm proud of.
zedd00
Not really, I've never met someone irl that likes or have heard about the game
Unam_T
nobody xD
VinZentVanDough
Only 1 for irl friends. He played it back in 2014
hayate13
my friend is the one who introduce me to osu back in 2012, but im the one who stuck playing it since.
Trialith
I'm pretty sure all of my friends dropped osu! after around a week of me telling them about the game, or don't know about it at all. And here's me - I'm playing for about 9 months, and have no intention of dropping the game at any point soon.

I'd love to meet someone irl who plays the game regularly, unlike everyone else up until now.
efina
None of my friends want to play it
feelsbadman
Israfil
he told me it is a music player
Cuma Iseng
Yes, and sometimes we play together.
Brainage
Probably most of my good friends know what the game is, half of those don't care and also call it a weeb game, the other half don't like playing it or have better games to play.

Honestly, the guys who call it a weeb game are fucking judgemental dipshits and I'm pretty sure only one guy in that first half actually saw gameplay of it. Why I like about the other half of my friends more..
Halokinesis
Yep, my friend sitting next to me now in World History hates it lol
koemada
yes because i talk about it too much LMAO
sheepfish
i actyally got into osu because i played it at a friends Place recently. the said friend also got my bestie to like it and now we play together after school in a Private multiplayer lobby pretty often :)
SpasticSurgeon
Yes I showed them Cookiezi top plays and they were fascinated.

One of them plays now but he just plays 2 stars on HR DT and is 900k rank. I told him to download more maps and stop spamming retry but I can't help him.
Surono
yes, but some of them does not play it / have accounts
TheKurisuGuy
Yes, there are several of them but i only play with 1 or 2 of them at most these days
ZisonZishen
almost no
they only know osu's a strange game thain there eyes,you only move two of your ten fingers when you play osu
[LS]PositoniX
I have a few online friends that know what osu! is, but IRL only one of my friends knows what osu! is, and that's because I've shown him.
EmeraldSnorlax
Nope, no one I know plays it. I told one friend, said I was a weeb, didn't try it, and blocked me on everything for 'being a weeb'.
Orofil
Yes and they don't like it >.<

that's messed up, he is very judgmental
quac
Actually got a few people I know who play osu. Can get pre competitive
Xirai
I got to know osu! from a then friend. I dont know if he still plays actually.

I know that I remember feeling like a hopeless case of aim-trash, when I started and he was so much better lol.

So yeah my now friends know that i play a rhythm game, called osu!. Some of them I watched me stream a few times. My boyfriend knows that I play osu, and he thinks I am crazy.
I almost made him try... but then he was like "nope...pls dont...honey, pls dont" xD

Because I know how frustrating it is to have friends so much better than yourself, I would never force someone to try it. Thou' if they want to, I am a happy spectator. It's so f....iretrucking cute!

One day before the class, me and my classmates spotted somebody playing osu!mania. Before I could say anything one of them just started to babbling about osu! and I was actually surprised that somebody knew it. Here comes the funny part. He said he played on osu!standard and was actually pro or something like that. He told us how difficult the game is. Then he picked his laptop and started showing off his skill on 3*. He was like 'it may seems easy but it is actually super duper difficult'. So he asked us to try and we did, except me.

Later that day in the cafetaria my friends got really hooked up. They kept pushing me to try it. Instead, I picked my laptop and my tablet and just started pulling of easy 5* jumps and streams. That one friend of mine was like 'damn, you are pro boi' and i said 'no. you just suck mate'

THE END
ps
one of them actually snipped my rank just in 4 months
xiiyeet
Yeah one person of like 50 friends, he played til like 50PP then he quit lol
Justified
Well, I managed to get one of my friends to play this game and now he's addicted rip
SolarCell27
One of my friend (who is an otaku) played this game in the class, back then I was like "Is this magic or something? Can he play Touhou?". Yeah, it was 2 years ago. Now I think I can play Touhou osu! to.
Jendrej
Someone installed osu on the computers in my middle school and everyone in my class at least saw what it looks like. Now in high school I have a friend who sometimes plays osu on his phone, he said he doesn’t play on a computer almost at all though. Actually that was part of the reason why I sat down now today and started playing, as I hasn’t really done it before. He has another friend from his middle school who claims to be high in the national ranking, but probably not high enough.
So what was the point of me writing this?
KayRift
I have never met a random person outside that knew anything about Osu. My circle knows of Osu because i bring it up when we are discussing games we play, but as far as someone who plays it fairly often and is decent at the game, then i have no one around me.
Wachininko
2 of them know, the 1st one has ~2500pp, and the 2nd one started playing yesterday on mobile (the opsu! app)
frutiger aero
no
Mayflower
damn i know like 6, all of them within the 600-2k pp range. they play a ton and are in on all the osu memes, but i wish i knew someone at my rank so multis wouldn't be that boring.
Edgar_Figaro
Most of my friends know what Osu is but have no desire to play the game as they aren’t fan of rythmn games.
thermosento
A few people know osu in my school, but mostly because some fortnite/overwatch player played it in a stream or something :(

The one person who plays osu a bit is a noob

then again, so am I
Acerbus_old_1
I don't know. I've never tried to talk about osu to someone in real life, but that's because my friends are not the kind of people who play videogames.
Sicoh
I actually heard one of my friends talking about osu at my school. And I immediately jumped into the conversation and he obviously said its a weeb game, I tried to prove him wrong but with no luck :T
RhagnarrL
Weell sorta xDD since when i discovered the game i started playing it all the time and kept telling them about it all day long since i love the game so much :D its fun , sometimes makes me go arhggggg but that's because i f@#$ up :D , and i kept sending them videos of some amazing osu plays :D
c0bica
People ask me what games I play and I can't say osu! because they start to judge me and I feel awkward so I just say normal games such as Minecraft. And when I try to explain what osu! is, people just either ignore me or tell me to do something more productive with my life... *sigh*
Arctos Sagittario
A good number of my acquaintances in Overwatch-related interest groups know what osu! is, thanks to pro ow streamers. Some of the cg artists I know have heard or tried osu! also. But that’s pretty much it.
RiceyBoi12
i don't know anyone that plays osu.
diseum_old
here in phil. most of my classmates are weebs too so i didn't had a hard time convincing them to play osu with me. we talk about osu non stop during class, we share experiences especially most of my friends are mouse players and complains about how it's impossible to finish 1,2s using a mouse.
y3kth0
I live in Germany and in my school they make fun of me for liking anime and playing osu. Everytime I ask my friends if we want to play some osu together they call me a weeb :( I don't really get why they can't just try it once it's not like they have to play it forever.
jujika
All of them, but only 2 or 3 really play it
Ashens
I try to explain it to them saying "play osu! its a fun and challenging rhythm game" and get responded with... "HA YOU'RE A WEEB" :/
keremaru
Most people, friend or classmate, know that I play osu!. Mostly because I played it excessively last year in school, but it's on and off so far this year. About four other people that I personally know play osu!, and most of my friends know about my, ahem, "osu! addiction", which nobody can really call it that at this point, since I don't focus on osu! 24/7 anymore.


So yes, they know what osu! is, since I play it.
Szpaj
Yes i have few friends that know what osu is but only three of them have tried it. One of them is actually really skilled at the moment, and the second one got introduced by me into the game and he started to like the game so im happ. The third one, played one time with tablet and thought u need to tap with your pen (i know you can play like that, but it's not good for beginners) so he raged and told me that this game is stupid af, that's all.
blvknight
i study in a japanese school and for some reason they don't like anime songs that much or play osu. not what i expected to see tbh
UkerBoss1772
i only play osu at my school. the rest are fortnite players
Reone
Well, many of my friends know it (mostly otakus).. but they don't play it much.. many of them only plays it for like 2 months, then quit.. they always give up before trying :/
KemZii
What are friends? LOL
Reki-kun_DELETED
I showed it my classmates years ago, but they didn't tried.

I have a friend who I've mentioned Osu! to before, but they remain uninterested. I say, good for them.
Brainage
All my friends that I have told about osu! called it trash. one of them told me that osu! is better than fortnite but refuses to play it with me because he still takes minecraft pvp seriously LOL

tl:dr my friends are rarted
Ocalino
...friends ?
tbh I still have the discord of an old school minecraft friend who used to be a fan of naruto and used to play a lot of osu and that's how I first heard of the game but that's it.

But what am I even saying I don't even play osu lmao

KokuHD
Yes, and that friend was already playing the game and i was like ''Huh, this is actually a good game''.
Nate Bait
Surprisingly a couple of my close friends know what osu! is. not sure if they play/have played before, though.
Tranquilmonia
I'm sure a couple of my friends know what Osu! is, but none of them actually play the game. Hopefully, I can bring them to enjoy it someday. ó.ò )
thyme_old_1
well here in poland i don't much friends and they are more focused on studying, but back when i was in the philippines, most of my classmates were playing osu and having a tourney inside the computer class
[SANS]
i only know Osu! because of my friends they said i should try it and that was 1 year ago and i love the game :D

Majority of my friends "know" osu, but only like 5% play it, and they (mostly into) mania :(.
Sun_e_
Got into osu! through a couple of my friends, one of which being top 3K in taiko right now. Me and him often call each other's game modes shit as a running gag.
[pGA]Remilia
Well, yeah. My friend was the one who recommended me this game xd.
sl0_old_1
yes, a lot of my friends do actually
TeeArctic1
Nowadays, a lot of my friends at least know about it. Some of them even joined me on the forums to mess around and make memes on a couple occasions. I usually let my friends try once in a while. Nowadays, normal forums aren't really as interesting to them, so they've tried just playing or quitting entirely instead. It's kinda sad, this game and the community around it is a lot of fun.
