i mean i've played osu for quite a while now and i played other fps game too but i wasnt sure that my aim was getting better in other game. sure it does but its not that efficiently. what about you guys?

If you're a mouse player it will help your mouse coordination if you use the same DPI for other stuff as the one you use on Osu!. Other than that I can't think of a way it would help you aim in FPS games since I'm pretty sure they mostly rely on your visual ability and your ability to see enemies.

if you need an aim trainer then osu is not necessarily your best option in my opinion. Due to the fixed screen and moving cursor; it feels very different.
It may slightly improve coordination but dont bank on this game turning you into shroud lmao

I once made a clickbaity video about using osu as an aim trainer but idk if it does the best job at that.

no, 2d aim doesn't translate into 3d aim.

I mean kindaa, if your using the same dpi in other games and maybe itll make it more comfortable, idk i just know that it helped me a bit with my aim. good luck.

Maybe a little, just a little.

It helped me, my aim in other games improved a lot playing with mouse.

having good 2d aim will increase the awareness you have of your mouse movement in 3d aim.

so basically having good 2d aim won't instantly give you good 3d aim, but it will massively decrease the time required to train your 3d aim to be equal to your 2d aim.

2d aim doesn't translate exactly into 3d aim like most people will say but your accuracy and precision from 2d aim will be carried into 3d aim a great amount.

that improve reaction time to (maybe??? xD) i mean for me back in 2016 a 2-3* was fast for my eye and now 5-7* looks like the speed of the 2-3* i was playing in the 2016

the real secret nobody will tell you: play osu!mania to improve your aim.

I don't think so because osu is 2d and fps games are 3d but I feel like when I have a bad day on osu it'll be the same on csgo as well.

guys idk i had a friend who loved osu and ever since then his aim has been amazing he rarely misses shots in any game i noticed he got better when he became obsessed with osu

I think it kinda could, I mean you're still getting comfortable with moving a mouse in whatever way you need to move in an accurate fashion, it's just a matter of getting the muscle memory for whatever game you're playing, but it would be easier to get a consistently accurate aim IMO. but none of your muscle memory would transition over so it wouldn't seem like anything noticeable.
playing Osu won't make you get better at an fps game, but It would make it easier to improve at one.



That's what I think at least :D

the type of aim is entirely different. clicking a circle on a 2d plane and manipulating a camera angle in 3d space are 2 very different types of movement. all itll really help is overall hand eye coordination, the movement is completely different

You can get better control over your mouse as well, even though it won't directly affect your aim, it'll help you have better control over how you aim, even tho I doesn't carry over directly.
I know for me it definitely helped my aim to A fairly big extent

Then "Hand-eye coordination" is A very large part of aim, no? in that case the answer is yes, It does improve your aim.
Is that not correct?

If you want to improve your aim in other games, play those other games...

I think it's different for everyone, personally, it helps with my reaction in games, serves as kind of a warmup before actually going in game, helps with hand eye coordination and it helps me notice small movements better in game.

This might just be me, but I feel like my reaction time has improved just slightly. Maybe around 20-30ms on average.

I do not think that it helps you that much when it comes to overall aim.
There are specific games out there, aim-trainers that do a way better job at this.

osu! isn't exactly a game where you simply move your cursor, there is a lot more to it.

Something i have noticed is as a csgo player with like 5k hours in total i have already really good aim since i practice it alot but something i got from changing from tablet to mouse on osu is if i play with a high sensitivity in osu with mouse for a little while then play csgo after my aim is insane when it comes to small adjustments that i struggle with usually, sure it does feel wierd going from 2d to 3d and different sens but after a little warmup in csgo my aim is nuts :) so i do believe it can help alot in that area where it comes to small adjustments in the aim if you play high sens osu and about the same or lower in whatever fps game you play :D

When playing soccer you'll have to run, so running a lot is a bit useful for soccer,
you'll run faster, longer, but it will not make you directly better at soccer.
Same for osu! and games that require mouse movements.
