1.) No it won't. At least, not the way you think it will. Your plan will only succeed in you potentially passing all the maps you have. You'll only get "better" in the sense that you might be able to pass progressively harder maps, but you're not going to actually get better at the skills of the game. It's somewhat irrelevant at the 2* level, but by the high 3* or generally the 4* range you will need to put more effort into particular skills to see more benefits.

2.) an hour and a half a day is not going to be enough time for you to hone to skills you'll need to even pass 5*+ maps. At least 2-3 hours a day, minimum.

The route you're taking will only really work if you do more than just play for passing starting with mid-3* maps. Without at least some repetition and learning how to do particular skills (jumps, bursts, streams, etc.) you won't have much success. That being said, your instinct to not retry much is fairly accurate, it just needs to be less restrictive as opposed to trying to keep to just one play.

If you make sure to high acc FC every 2 star you have before moving on to harder maps, it will be a very long time before you begin to get better at harder maps, although in theory if you do carry through with this I don't see why you wouldn't improve. I just don't think it would be efficient.

As the title suggest I am going through all my maps starting from 2.00 star maps to infinity and beyond without retrying them. (Except if I miss or hit a circle 50) (Later added: If I have more than 5 200 hits on a map then that map will go into the "training" group, meaning I will retry it until I SS it.)

What I am wondering though is that if I have the patience to do this then will I get better at harder maps or not?

And before you ask about if I am using any difficulty increasers (mods), no I don't. Once I went through all of my ranked maps then I plan to restart this journey except with all difficulty mods on. And I am only playing Osu! maps

So you might be wondering "How many maps are we talking about?". 13358 ranked maps. I did some calculations where I assumed that on average a map's length is 2 minutes and I also plan on playing at least 1 and a half hour daily. And the results is that I should be able to finish this in less than a year. (Which is not the truth since there is the inbetween times of selecting the map and stuff so I made the assumption that at maximum I would finish it in 2 years.)

As for skins, I already found the one that is the best for me. I am using a drawing tablet and keyboard. I have also removed every distraction from the screen while playing the songs. (This is due to the fact that in the past whenever I played a hard map I ended up constantly looking at where in the song currently I am and getting impatient, which resulted in less accuracy)

I started this journey today and I am at 2.01 star maps and have managed to beat them all either SS or S.

My current best tip for anyone attempting this:
Learn the meaning of OD, CS, AR, and HP. If you know these values then you have a higher chance of SS on first try.

gl thats gonna be very long and looking you i think i need get a best acc but lets go in progression.
I realy never gonna try and don't think it gonna be a good thing to get better but you can change my mentallity if it work.

Well two years is two years. Do not worry, you have 2 more medals than I and you have played less.

I plan on editing this post with my progression each day.

At 2*-3* yeah this is possibly doable. But at 4*-5* you WILL find some nigh impossible maps to SS. Not even mentioning skillset which varies from map to map (why people say star rating is actually inaccurate by nature), but you al so have you gimmick maps like Wolf Whistle and Luvatory. So if you’re dead set on doing this, know when to throw in the towel for a map.

Nah. Speaking as someone who basically did the same thing, it won't help you improve, at least not quickly. It would only really help at first if you cannot actually properly play low difficulties. For the most part, improvement comes from limit pushing.

Happy Satoko wrote:

+ Map difficulty doesn't actually increase accurately playing in this order, so you're going to get random maps that are much harder. You would think you'd be able to FC anything by taking the supposedly gradual approach, but it doesn't really work. You're also spreading yourself thin by being an all-rounder, specializing is a more common approach.

If you really want to go this approach for fun, I would recommend working on difficulty ranges instead of a strict order and know when to move on from a map in your session. I would drop the 100s requirement and make it acc based as well. And if you're still wanting to target and improve on the problem maps, just know that in many cases, at least in the 2-5 range, if you can get over 99%, you probably already have the skill to get 100% and it's just a matter of retrying from there, not furthering skill.
