imo - Being able to full combo a song with good accuracy within a reasonable number of tries is considered good. Just being able to pass and map doesn't mean you are good at that map or those particular skills required to play the map.
I completely disagree. I don't give a fuck about people who SS insanes, I care about people who pass the big freedom pony man no taisou.
I think you miss understood me. When I said "good accuracy", I meant about 97%+ accuracy, not necessarily only 100%. My point was that just being able to pass a map with 85-90% with misses isn't that good compared to 97% full combo on most maps. For example, most people can PASS airman because of the low drain even with a ton of misses but only a few GOOD players can actually full combo it with relatively good accuracy.

"Good" has always been used to describe the middle ground of "success" (between "acceptable" and "excellent"), whatever the context may be. In the scope of computer games, it's a rather complex mishmash of achieved goals, how far you've come, and comparing yourself to others. It is mostly a personal view that you have developed over the course of playing the game, so the best answer I can give you is:

If you have no idea what"good" is yet, then you probably aren't "good"... yet.

Knowing that the owc maps are very high difficulty (like those mod pools), is actually a step in the right direction of figuring out what "good" is and your post already indicates that you have an idea. But because of your lack of experience (not referring to skill), your idea was shattered because this was the first owc you saw and probably guessed this was the standard, since it was still group stages. But this year's map pool is actually much harder compared to last year and the group stages are a bit of a joke, but I kinda like it this way. It's more fun to watch.

It's futile trying to define "good".

I still consider myself pretty bad, and will not stop until I achieved something I might call myself good for.

you're good if you make goals for yourself and succeed to meet them

you're bad if you fail to meet your goals or play without any goals

Remember, most people in the OWC have 30-50k+ playcount, whist you only have 9k. As you play, you will improve. Simple as that.

Everyone would define good differently. I guess the best way is to find a point that you see as good, and work to that. Once you reach it, maybe raise the bar a bit. It brings in a constant hunger for improvement.

Don't rely on people telling you what is good.

@OP if it makes you feel better it took me almost a year just to go from streaming 120~ bpm to doing streams of 170~ bpm, and even now I still have trouble with 170-180 bpm streams with more than 17 notes.

Not many people classify themselves as good, not even people in the top 100.

the only good person is cookiezi, and he died, thus no one is good at this game

The question is very subjective, being "good" is just a label used to classify high level of skill (being able to do things), talent (being able to do things without much effort) or performance (things someone has done).
Also, each of these aspects aren't even measured in a one-dimensional scale: a player can be good at streaming 240bpm, while being bad at playing HD in easier maps (or the other way around). That makes it even more subjective.

So you are telling me people who pass Pretender + DT are worse than people who FC random maps? Alright.

Nope. I'm saying people that can DT pretender with a couple misses compared to people that can FC it with DT are in a completely different skill level from each other. I'm not comparing two different maps and their accuracy and misses; I'm comparing two different players on the same map. Just because you can clear a map doesn't mean you are good at that map in most situations.

Play count doesn't really help. There are quite a few people with 60+ play count and not that good.

Oh so you are telling me that people who can FC certain map are better than people which can pass that map? Wow, never knew.

Except there are no such people, doubt that anyone else besides H4ppySt1ck has ever passed it.

Exactly. It takes a lot more skill to full combo a song than just clear a map with misses, for various reasons that you probably don't understand. This is especially true on very hard maps. If this wasn't true, then the ranking system would not reward people for Full Combos but give a larger reward for clearing extremely difficult feats.

Yup, was just an example. Used the same map as you used so you could relate/understand better.

Edit: for some reason I really feel the need to justify my opinion.. :o

Play count doesn't really help.
The stupidest post in this thread.




Topic:
Good for me is above average + consistency. If you want to be considered "good" by me you should match my level, that's enough.

I consider myself good since I don't have what it takes to become serious killer or "pro" but there aren't many maps that I can't pass, making me "good". I try not to be prudish like most of players. I know what I am capable of and I don't think there's anything wrong with stating that (though people tend to call me "cocky" or "conceited", fair enough). Calling yourself shit is not okay IMO.

Ok, back to the topic again, I'll put it simply.

OWC Group Stage maps are quite easy so you should FC them in less than 10 tries (Roze is exception) in order to be "pretty good".


btw. why do people even ask about relative things? T.T

I think that question is hard to answer because the standard is constantly changing. There will be no breakthroughs if the bar has always stayed at the same height.

Good is what you call players better than you, generally. I've never known any osu! player who thought they were good players, everyone is always "But I can't do this and that, this other person is so much better"
In my opinion good players are consistent players. They don't randomly miss all the time and make less errors. Some will agree and some will disagree because it's all very subjective.

Because they spam restart every 10seconds. All I am saying is playing more will result in an increase in skill.

Should perhaps have clarified that I have never known/spoken to anyone who considers themselves good. By that I mean that sure loads of really good players will know that they are good but I have the impression it's pretty rare, since we all see those players that are better than us. :p

You're not good, and you never will be.

OWC maps mean nothing.
I can pass a good number of them, but I still suck QAQ
Just ignore it and play on.

good is subjective but to me being good is being able to pass moderate insane difficulty with at least an A

"Good" (adj.):
1. being able to SS without musical aid
2. being able to FC without visual aid
3. being able to FC in the first try (bonus points if HDT / DTHR)
etc.
