Some people in Geometry Dash beat Deadlocked (easy/medium demon) and decide hmm lets beat an extreme demon even though my hardest level beaten is an easy demon and actually succed. I was wondering if something like this could happen or has happened in osu!, you think it can?

In gd, there's a lot simpler mechanic called "monke click, monke complete level", it doesn't work like that in osu with all those different skillsets

I mean, technically you could jump from 2 stars to 6 stars with a lot of attempts and dedication, but gradual progression is quicker and better

i mean you can compare this to pp milestone skips that some higher-ranked players do (can't think of any off the top of my head but kalanluu probably skipped something when they got their pp record)

yes it can. you can theoretically skip a 3 star fc and any other star to be honest and same goes for PP you in my opinion each 100 pp is a milestone for example 100pp 200pp 300pp and so on are all milestones and you can skip those too which in my opinion is similar to a player going from easy demon to extreme demon

Geometry Dash is an one tap game so you can theoretically jump from Deadlocked to Cataclysm if you wanted to, but compared to osu...

Skipping osu! difficulties is technically possible like in GD, but you need dedication and time to do it.

i remember having like 400 attempts on an easy demon and it became my first demon in GD
I like it so much that i played it again after finishing it
Man, i definitely suck at the game
That isn't skipping difficulties though....

The only thing GD and Osu share in common is the accuracy of clicking. A one-button clicker like GD can only increase difficulty through making each click more precise and/or faster, which is probly why having lots of frame-perfect inputs is necessary to beef up the difficulty in that game. Can't speak to whether or not it sticks to the rhythm of the song you're playing to, but I'd be very disappointed if they didn't.

Osu not only has clicking, but mouse/tablet aim on top of that; similar to how GH/RB has not only tapping the correct fret but also strumming at the right time, although Osu has an additional step of when you hit the note affecting accuracy compared to GH/RB only caring if you're in the timing window or not.


To put it simply like the others have said, it's not impossible to do difficulty jumps. You could go from 2* FCs to 4* FCs, 3* FCs to 7* FCs, etc. But the amount of thing you have to learn--faster tapping, faster aim, learning jumps or streams or high-velocity sliders, tech maps--makes it exponentially harder to do compared even to GH/RB, much less GD.

People skip pp barriers all the time, although this usually happens at high milestones (like 700+).

Theoretically, you could skip the 100 or 200pp barrier if you're unbanned for example lol
