I'm new to osu and I single tap every time except when its necessary I saw some people say they were struggling to single tap later to harder maps because they couldn't keep up so I was just wondering if I should just scrap single tap and learn how to alternate before it become alot harder.

I mean, yeah sure go for it you have all the time in the world and if you don't like it you can always go back to traditional
Single tapping can be taken pretty far, your other skills would have be at very good level if singletapping was holding you back.
Even saying "when its necessary" can be pretty complicated, but basically that's a good style. That's the basic way of playing anyway. You might call it just single tapping. If you are a "single tapper" that doesn't mean you single tap everything, of course they would stream streams, not tap them.
That being said, there's really no draw back to learning to alt, especially if you learn a good technique, I believe alternating makes you have higher UR as a whole, but that might have changed, players might have refined their alting to the same spec as others single tap. And not to mention, you can just do BOTH! And switch between them however you want

Streaming shouldn't be confused with alting. Alting in the common talk just means using two buttons in a case where you would traditionally just use one. So, it doesn't make you a hybrid alternator to perform streams with two buttons.Heartzuu wrote:
Most players use a hybrid playstyle that consists of both alternating and single-tapping techniques where the player single-taps most of the map and alternates on places where they have to (Triplets, Bursts, Streams, etc.)
If you want to learn to full alt, the sooner you start the better, since you have to train your non dominant finger to be able to start every pattern just as well as your main finger. Singletappers should do this too, but for full alt you have to to actually hit patterns. You also have to build the finger control required to alternate consistently, which would require playing easier maps and rebuilding tapping fundamentals, so if you start now you aren't taking as big of a hit to your progress.
however its still preference whether or not you want to switch since singletap speed only really becomes an issue at the higher levels of play.
