Hi guys !
ive been playing this game for 1year , im playing heavily like 2hrs session everyday but i only have 17k playcount lol
so im asking you guys if you need to be special for being as good as cookiezi/Niko or Rrtyui or if all players can be as good as those players ?
because i saw old replays of them and after like 5months of playing they could already dt fc insanes (i can fc the half of magic girl dt ! :3)
did they have something special or they just played like 5hrs a day ?

You have to be "special" in order to be at the ranks of the elite.
Same with sport athletes, they are at the top because not only do they put in hours of practice each day, they also have the genetics.
You can practice everyday of your life maybe harder than the pros, but you might never reach their level of competitive play because you weren't "destined" for greatness.

That is just my opinion, you can believe whatever you want :o

It takes long work and dedication to be really good. Maybe you might want to look at a New Keyboard, or switch, or something like that. Anybody can make it to the Elite with enough work and belief in themselves

i already have some good peripherals all i need is skill. my (fast ar ) reading skills is by far the best in my country (im almost good at reading ar11)
my biggest problem is getting low ar patterns , reallly big squares and long streams , i can do like 300bpm burst stream perfectly but i can barely stream 210bpm lol (long streams = 30-50notes)

I. Don't even. Understand. All anyone needs is skill.
Also, takes quite some guts to say your >>anything<< is "by far the best in my country" when you're 5000~ and they're 500~ lol. Although one can say rank doesn't mean skill, this difference is a bit big to ignore.

To answer your question, it takes both talent and practice if you wanna be one of the top players. Most people don't even think about this kind of stuff though...

Also, don't spam forums with a bunch of topics.

You don't need to be special or anything to be good. Almost any normal person can become a great player if they put in the effort and time. The only reason you wouldn't be able to would be because of something restricting your playing (you have RSI or some bullshit), which is quite a rare case. Pretty much all of the top players have played for 2+ years minimum, most of them having played 3-4+ years.

I disagree. PPv2 is much more accurate and is based on your best. So this means that the 500's best is so many times better than a 5k to be a 500.

OT: What do you mean by 'special'? It's just practice, top players never knew that they would be top the moment they started playing or in any way different from any other players.

You just have to Multiaccount and Play Offline then you're a top Player with 500 Playcount

You must have fun by playing and not search for the skill ... let the skill to you (Make not the same fault as I)

If you want being good how top Players like Cookie then you really need a talent for osu! (Fast fingers, good Eyes and a fast brain)

But how Rewben2 said : "Almost any normal person can become a great player if they put in the effort and time."

We'll keep telling ourselves that.

It's more complicated than that. It depends on what you do when you're younger, how you think, personality and motivation... and many more things.

When we are young, we shape ourselves the most, both mentally and physically with what we like to do and challenge ourselves with previously. By the time you start playing this game, everything is already decided as to whether you have the "talent" or not. The difference is not incredible, because even if you have talent, you still need to work hard. Problem comes when untalented and talented are both putting in similar amounts of effort.

Very little to do with genetics, because there are individuals from all races who have proven to be the best at something, although largely, asians are pretty OP if you look at majorities.

RPG lingo: Basically you stuffed up your char and you need to re-roll :D

WRONG

the only special skill you need is patience (and a bit of self inspection to find what you're lacking at so you know what to practice at times)

a lack of patience is the only reason why I'm not fast like other people but I used to be patient as fuck when it came to practicing accuracy and it fucking shows

Why are rrtyui niko and cookiezi so good?

They are able to play anything they are given. Their speed is one thing but what would they be without anything else than speed? Rrtyui wouldnt have gotten his insane hd hr scores, or niko his atama no taisou. The thing is speed doesnt make you a top tier player. Being fast and combining other skills too makes you a good player. So instead of only playing 400bpm ar14 maps, play ar9 180bpm maps. Being able to play anything you are given is far more important than just speed. Speed is just a bonus. Youre useless as a player if you only have speed.

You're a useless player if you only have accuracy, too.
