How long did it take you to learn how to play 3 star maps ?

I've been playing for less than a week and I just started doing full 3 star maps. I still haven't completed any but I manage to pass the first part before the pause or get to the middle (Not on all 3 star maps but on most. There are some where I just fail at the start)

What about you ?

I've been playing for two years and I just started doing full shit-maps. I still haven't completed all of them but I manage to play the old ones before the modern ones or get to the pp-maps (Not on all shit-maps but on most. There are some where I just puke at the start)

So it seems that reaching 3* was not that long.

Can't remember exactly, but according to my achievements I cleared a 1, 2 and 3* map on the first day of playing, but didn't FC a 3* map until 2 weeks after. Still never FC'ed a 1* map :(

Nothing hard. Just no one cared about scores in osu. As well as I. Just played random maps with random stars for fun. Also always played Multiplayer.

Maybe when I'm no longer just focus on the circles but both circles and rhythm. I believe that takes time and this period may vary from one to another.

You're just approaching this in a wrong way.
osu! has a long learning curve and if you can't complete 3* maps that means you should reduce difficulty.
Build up some proficiency through playing easier maps and move up in small steps instead of trying to do things you can't do right from the start.

It took me about a month to finally start passing 3* maps. But then again i started to play full alternate a week after i started, and played almost all maps with full alternation ever since, may or may not be the reason it took me this much the reach there. Still trying to fc 3*.

It took me 18 months from download to pass a 3*, but I wasn't actively playing for the first year, and got a 3* FC 27 days after that, and got my first 4* pass today, ~5 months after the first 3*.

It took me 17 days to pass my first 3 star. Interestingly enough I FCed a four star before a 3 star. Took me 2 months and 17 days. And then four days later I FCed my first 3 star.

Old thread, but I started this game the beginning of this month (25 hours play time) and I can finally pass 3 star maps with 85-90% accuracy. Hopefully more progress to come!

I think what they meant was Singletap/Alternate.
So they were trying to alternate the map.

I started playing osu a little longer than 3 weeks ago and stopped for a week because school was to much to handle and played Days Gone. It took me 2 weeks at most to constantly clear 3-3.5* even a 3.9* map in the first 5 tries with C or better . My question is , what DPI and in game sens are you using because I can't do those jumps properly?

it didnt actually take me that long, im pretty new to the game considering i joined just last year but it took me only a couple weeks. i think it honestly depends on the person because my little brother has been playing for months and he still gets D's on 2-3 stars

About...4 months? I played for about a month or two in 2016, put the game down and basically didn't touch it for 5 years, and re-started playing back in February or so. I think I started playing 3*'s for real in early April, and I've been playing at that level since then.

I can actually play at passing low 4*'s at the moment, but you won't see any of that on my profile.

For me, I learned about Osu! around 2 years before I downloaded. This is because I had only a mac for those years until recently. So when I downloaded Osu!, I had basically a head-start. This meant I got to 3 stars FC in around 1-2 months. Dont be discouraged though, some players improve at their own speed. Improvement RATE doesnt matter, Improvement DEDICATION is what really puts you at the top.

After fully understand the game, I manage to start learning 3* beatmaps. It tooks longer because I have no idea about adding beatmap to the game. So it would probably take 2-3 weeks (because of my limit playtime, I can only play for 2 days per week). It's still pretty short after my friends give me quaver after being pain in harumachi xd.

keep it up, just dont go straight to playing 5* maps and play 4* maps till you are comfortable with fcing high 4*.

tho the 4 year old laptop is kind of a weird flex since many people play with laptops much older than that... myself included... ;-;

About 1 month, and I still struggle with higher combos at that time.
