Played a bit of mania, HT was great for it because it let me play harder patterns and practice them and actually understand them, so that when they were faster, it was still kind of easy for me. Does the same sort of thing apply to standard as well? Are there any examples of good players using HT in their practice to get better? Is this a feasible method of practice? Thanks c:

Is HT a good training tool for standard?

Nah, not really. I mean it can let you practice and make hard maps feel easier, but there are always easier maps anyways you can practice on. One more thing is, it kinda ruins most audio's making it weird. What i'd recommend is rather practicing EZ. It is very hard and for most makes the game harder and not easier, while also being harder to read and less worth. Tho it helps with reading later on and EZ players are confirmed chads.
The problem is that certain kinds of patterns won't show up in maps with lower starrating. And if you are already comfortable on simpler, easier patterns, playing lower SR maps won't help that much. Halftime might slow the map down to a speed that isn't too fast or too slow for you, but osu trainer on the other hand ( link: https://github.com/FunOrange/osu-trainer/releases/tag/1.6.5 ) lets you change the BPM to basically whatever you want it to be. It's a great tool for improvement if you know how to use it.Szynkowice wrote:

This looks exactly like how it works in lazer where you just get to change the speed of the map, rather than only having half time. Very cool!Simon12 wrote:

In mania, I'd sometimes swap to lazer and play maps at 50%, FC them, and then raise the speed by like 5% until eventually I was at 100% speed and S-ing the difficult map. I assume it's a similar sort of method with standard. Thanks for posting!
