Doesn't getting nervous make the game even more fun? I mean, to overcome this nervousness is kinda a challenge itself, isn't it?
For example: Today I tried to FC a new map, so I turned on SD, played it, got nervous and missed one the last notes. Dang.
After that I retried a few times, and eventually managed to keep my hand calm, even though I was nervous as hell, and got the FC. That probably made me even happier than a FC on the first try would have.

missing one of the last notes on my first try is not my definition of fun no

I want the ability to hide my combo, score and everything, except the actual gameplay. Like the relax mod. I'm playing the difficulty all the way out anyway, so I wouldn't worry about any misses.

This is actually pretty deep. If you need to blink, just blink, don't think about blinking. :D

Joking aside, I get nervous a lot and it's so funny how getting a single 100 (when I play for SS) makes me relax so much, I am always very tense for some reason haha.

Getting a single 100 makes me start cursor dancing until I die.

Press Tab to hide the leaderboard, then skin 0-9, comma, dot, slash and x transparent. Clean gameplay!

That's what I've been doing. However I do want to see my scores at the result screen, they'll be transparent too.

It's the art of dancing more rapidly until you're not actually playing anymore

Play with your transparent skin, switch to a normal skin then go to your play screen to see statistics. Weird but I think it's the best.

1. Change the song BG to a flat black image
2. Make a skin where everything else except the result screen is black
3.
4. Profit

Most of my skin elements are either hidden or tiny and transparent.

Hidden elements:
  1. HP bar
  2. section pass and fail
  3. count1-3, ready and go
  4. cursor trail
  5. follow point
  6. hit300
  7. lightning
  8. slider points
  9. spinner background, circle, clear, spin, etc.
  10. star2
The hitcircles are from Tom69's skin, which makes things even more lightweight.
The slider track is black and my only two combo colours are white and green. sliderfollowcircle is just a white, almost transparent ball. No animations.

Here's my current cursor:


I find that colour easier to see than green, blue or red. Purple is usually okay too.

Editing this to a bit shorter...

I prefer having a visible HP bar and slider ticks (don't really know why). I used to use a cursor nearly identical to that as well. Nowadays I'm using a nearly invisible (2x2px) black cursor with 3x3 white cursor trail, as I seem to perform better that way, not with a mouse though.

Ok new rule: Do NOT think about Tom69 saying "do not think about blinking"

Do we get 200% more nervous?
You make it sound like you're gonna kill yourself first thing after breaking your combo

I get really nervous when I see a thread already full of pages pop to the top of the forum list out of nowhere.

Nice necro.

If you want to handle stress, play under pressure more. Stream your liveplays, have spectators on and such.

Break your keyboard when you miss a combo or 100,50 it. It usually helps, and has worked wonders for me. ;)

There's nothing wrong with being nervous. Sometimes, when I play a hard song and FC it, my heart will be pounding because I was so nervous :3

I was playing a song with hidden, only expecting a pass, and I got to the last 10 notes with SS. It woulda been top 50 but I missed, gave up and failed. I thought I was going to have a stroke and took a 10 minute break.

As someone who usually plays with nofail, it's EXTRA bad for me. my hands shake so profusely my mouse actually goes airborne a bit if im trying to nomod pass a map for the first time.

Just today it cost me a pass on a map i never actually passed before, during the very end [within 10 seconds of the end] at a part that should have been easy.

i dont know what to do to make it less bad, it makes playing the game impossible for me sometimes. It's pathetic but I can't help it..



I just dont know what to do. Breathing exercises? Tie my arm to the desk?

Dayum. And I thought my nerves were bad. That's extreme but funny at the same time lol.
I recently screwed here - https://osu.ppy.sh/b/325377?m=0 >_<

I find playing multiplayer with the scoreboard visible enabled for a few hours helps me loosen up. Like I don't magically play better, but at least I can at least play confidently. Also, remembering that everybody looses their share of scores to beatmap drain too.
