I feel I can't improve anymore.

Get more maps and play them, go back to old beatmaps that you couldn't beat before and beat them, go back to the stuff you could beat and get an even higher score on them. Do those things and in no time you'll be getting better.

anyways, sometimes the best thing is to stop playing for a few days or a week if you've been playing nonstop.
let your body and mind recuperate, and you'll be ready to play at your peak again.
also, there are a dozen other threads like yours so search those up.
This is very solid advice. I am currently doing my week off, and highly recommend taking them. Every 6-8 weeks I force myself to take time off, much like with weight lifting. The body and mind need breaks!

take some breaks, and play more challenging maps

I feel like I'm hitting a wall as well in my playing... Just out of curiousity, what level should I be at 4 months of playing? What are songs that I should be able to play?

This isn't the right question to ask, everyone improves at different speed, depending on what kind of maps you play, how well you understand how rhythm works, etc.

You guys didn't even hit the Insane level and already giving up, huh? No wonder you got bored from playing Hards. You won't improve without motivation, what for do you want to get better? Personally, I see 3 reasons in this game:

1. self-improvement - push your own limits
2. fun - be able to play/play better fun maps which are currently above your level
3. competition - compete with other people and set good scores

Not sure about the first one, you just have to feel like it, but for other 2 there're easy solutions: get more maps (download all of them, seriously, it's 4 torrent files and 1 hour of downloading) and play everything; get some in-game friends around your level share good maps and have fun together.

Makes no sense, you don't want to.

Hmm there is a sticky thread named "Beatmap-Torrents", I wonder if they could be found there...

improvement slows down a lot

people think they don't improve but they actually do, the gain is just so slow that it's hard to realise that you're actually improving at all.

Yes, but he said 4 files. I see like 20+. Which 4 has all of the ranked beatmaps? I guess I don't understand these/any torrents.
enik

and 2 more torrents for the most recent ranked maps.

i would avoid the first beatmap packs

you won't improve at all by playing crappy timed maps with awkward patterns and 1xds

Oh look. It's this thread again.

Play new maps and try not to drill maps. The more you play a map the faster you get frustrated

Lol I played that song for 3 hours this afternoon I really wanted the FC

That's your problem. Playing anything below insane is a waste of time unless you are a very casual/new player or want to farm pp.
buny
dt hards is actually a good practice for intermediate players since they're usually above or below by a small amount in terms of difficulty of an average insane

but yeah those easy difficulties are a waste of time; you won't learn anything from them and they give nearly no pp for higher ranks

Lately I've been doing a search for BPM>=180 AR<=8 OD>=7 and playing double time all day on those maps and it has improved a lot. If I don't feel like going at that speed I change the BPM to BPM<=180 BPM>=160. If you can't handle those speeds with double time just do a search for BPM>=165 AR>=8 OD>=7 and you should do fine after playing a month of those maps.

Always challenge yourself to improve in all areas
Always take extended breaks every now and then

There is no limit to how well you can play, you either aren't motivated enough to get better or you're not finding ways to challenge yourself. You could also just be doing everything wrong.

Play lots of Maps, play Hards on DT, play Maps you can't beat (Freedome Dive (Four Dimension) - My streaming really got better through this), play AR10-11 play OD Maps ... if you can't beat don't give up :) but don't play too much AR10 or 11 if you can't beat otherwise your Accuary get crap.

Make a break ;) I alway make a 1 Week+ break after 4-6 Weeks Osu!

Don't give up to improve your skills.
You should set your mindset that you can improve on this game, try to play more insane beatmaps though you'll get bad result. Don't worry, you can improve it as time goes on.

Anyway,

If you feel like you can't improve, you're not playing hard enough songs. Try turning on HR on every song you'd usually play without it (and resist all temptations to turn it off) and find some really challenging songs to play. The harder the better.

I feel this way right now. Less than a week ago I was randomly able to stream 190 nearly indefinitely and not even feel tired where before I struggled to do 180 for more than ~20 notes.

Now I'm even worse than I was before and I changed nothing. fuck this gayme

A break is good for you. But if you really can't then just play, just play. Even if you don't feel like you're progressing at all and that you just have this feeling of dread, just keep playing. It's the fun that counts anyway. You'll improve without you realising, just that's it's slower than last time.
