Yes, you arent playing enough.Baka94 wrote:

Not quiet what I meant. I do play osu! almost every day c:HK_ wrote:

True. I usually play whenever I don't have anything else to do. I usually play in a several short "sessions" (usually 5-10 sessions where I play 3-7 maps depending on the length of the maps) in one day. If I happen to play multiplayer with my friends I might play longer than that depending on how long others want to play. So, I'd say that the average playing time per day would be something between 30 min - 90 min. How long you think I should be playing per day? And should I keep "break days" where I don't play much or at all?Khelly wrote:
I can play for 20 minutes and call that everyday too
2 hours a day is ok too but anything bellow that is just dumb and waste of timeKhelly wrote:
3 hours a day no long breaks if you want to actually improve and not see mediocre results.
Gee, no wonders why I suck so much. But really I am improving even if I am not doing 60 mins or more a day. But I play more games that I'm rapidly getting better at, like Geometry Dash. So I don't play as much osu! as I used to. Not saying I will leave anytime soon, just will be playing lessEndaris wrote:
Session length of 60min and above is advisable for rapid improvement if you don't do any specific warmup before as you will need 15-30min before you actually get warm. If you stop playing once you warmed up you're not really going to get results.
Personally I tend to do a lot worse if I do a second session on the same day if the first one was long(=90min+) cause my fingers have kind of given up or something.
k that's all I gotWhen that happened I stopped playing for fcs and pp and started playing fun, challenging maps ranked or unranked.Baka94 wrote:
I've been playing in longer sessions (~60min) and I have noticed that after some point I start performing worse than usual. My performance does increase during warm up, but some time after that it just suddenly drops at some point. Anyone have any idea why this happens?
Does it really take that long to "recover"? I did sleep like 8-9 hours every night. Shouldn't you easily "recover" in that time?HK_ wrote:
You just played too much and were tired.

Once it took my hands a full week to recover from me being retarded and playing far too long
Might take me that long too. I played ~8 hours on two days in a row. Not as hardcore as you did, but that's expected as I'm not as experienced played and I probably have less stamina too. I took the one day break like suggested and now I'm performing worse than before the break. Playing feels really difficult all of a sudden... Or could there be another reason why this is happening?Mahogany wrote:
I played hardcore for like 8 hours
And my hands had started hurting at the 4 hour mark
Have you tried "warming up" before moving insane diff? When you start playing, play 30-60 min hard diffs (or longer if needed) to warm up and then start moving towards insane diffs. Another big help is sitting right and using headphones (removes surrounding distractions such as keyboard mashing sounds). I have noticed that if I sit right (not leaning back or hunched over), I can perform better. Another thing is that you need to sit in a high enough chair to be able to have your shoulders relaxed and try to have your wrists straight. These have helped me, so try them and see if they are helping (of course you might not see the effects right away).Rehantion wrote:
For me.. Improving hard diff to insane diff is kinda hard.
Idk why, but sometimes i play insane diff i got good perform, and sometimes got a really really bad perform.
Don't look at difficulty name. Look at star rating instead.Rehantion wrote:

Still same thing going on after 5 days of not playing osu! Should I start to be worried about this?Baka94 wrote:
EDIT: Okay, I haven't recovered yet. My hand started hurting after playing one ~3 min map in a multiplayer (~3.5* probably) :/
I actually find it a lot easier to look at a square pattern as a square rather than 4 circles.Mahogany wrote:
Because you're looking at them as a pattern
You need to see them as individual point-to-point jumps and it gets a lot easier
Endaris wrote:
Or you just develop good muscle memory for the pattern "square".
Looking at multiple circles as patterns helps tremendously with reading.
Rather take that advice as "don't aim for the last note of the square before you hit the other ones".
I never see them as a pattern neither do i bother to, i always see things far apart as a 'jump' only, triangle or square.Mahogany wrote:
