As the title said, I bet $100 with a friend that I could get 10 or less misses on a beatmap that is way out of my league (This is a mutual attempt to get me to escape my current skill plateau as well as improve my skill on stamina maps). I have to complete beatmapsets/631020#mania/1332080 by 2022/08/22 in order to not lose $100 to my friend. I haven't tried too hard to improve at this game and mostly play for fun, and I frankly don't know where to start when working towards a score that is impossible as of now. I obviously don't want to only play this map for 2 months straight and would rather take a fundamentally sound approach to getting a great score. Practice doesn't have to be exclusive to osu!mania either, as I have Etterna and Quaver installed and configured. I would love to get some pointers or advice that have helped others improve or reach a difficult score on a similar map, and in the end any form of help would be appreciated.
