I have only one play, a 1* SS with HDFLPF, is there something I should know about Osu!Catch? I think it's a very simple mode and there is nothing I should know, but i'll ask just in case.

If you want to progress and play hard maps, you need to play mostly specifics and try to avoid converts.

I wrote this a while ago for a tournament aimed at new players so it might be useful if you are starting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rkxMMShMHDwHVOXMR_8G-Ty59NGEVUq8yonu8NKU0pY/edit?usp=sharing

And yes, catch is a simple gamemode, but as you go up it becomes more complex (and more fun in my opinion, especially platters and upwards).

Yeah I think Catch is deceptively easy to new players (often why people don't get into the mode) however there is plenty of challenge ahead. Since you said it is your first day playing make sure you get familiar with using the dash key, also you will eventually see objects with a red outline (or different color depending on the skin). These are hyperfruits and accelerate your catcher even more than a regular dash.

One thing you'll notice as you get better is the game becomes less about "moving the catcher under the objects" and more about moving the catcher based on patterns. I personally started to really get into Catch around the Rain level. This was when everything just started coming together as you know all the basics at this point.

hi, i will only give advice from my experience.

1.- Avoiding converts it's not bad but i wouldn't say avoid them. also play them to ain experience, but obviously you should focus on specifics.

2.- Don't play mods until you can control the catcher and feel comfortable playing (idk how to explain this, but like at 3* range, you start to feel more comfortable moving the catcher). DT could be an option, but again, this is my personal experience. i'd recommend playing DT in old maps since the cs and the sliders help you to improve accuracy when moving. FL it's just a thing where memorization is key, so use it if you want.

3.- Only pass to higher star ranges when you feel comfortable playing lower ones. For example, when transitioning to 3*, play lots of higher 2* and meanwhile pass 3*. then, when you feel comfortable with 2*, try playing more 3* and less 2* ones. Eventually, you'll get used to playing at 3* and so on

forgot something important, which is: download the most maps you can. and play the most maps you can. like, every day try downloading some 20 STD-CTB maps and play some of them. Not only you will be more entertained, but your gameplay will be variated, which also makes you improve with all kinds of patterns
