If you had the opportunity to hit the "reset" button on your Osu! habits and quirks, which ones would you reinforce, try to ditch, and/or try to pick up?

I'm curious about what people consider their "bad habits" and "good habits".

Considering I am switching to a tablet soon, hopefully someone has some good insight in that regard

1. Alter all insane/extra maps to ar 7 or lower with od 10.
2. Make stream maps of around 90 bpm and work my way up instead of scrambling my fingers at about 170'ish till it worked.
3. Buy a tablet and mechanical keyboard from day one and stick with it.

Counting the notes in every stream instead of mashing until it wears over.
Doubles, quads, and all those weird fingerfucking rhythms.
The forced proportions button for my 1/6 tablet area ...

I have no good habits.

Proper reading and practice on AR8/10 and not just play easy maps till 10k plays like I did.

Learn to read maps instead of mashing through stuff I can't pass.

I want to get rid the habit of having my mouse leaning more in the left side because when I play a non tv size song and that beatmap has tons of jumps and tons of circles at the bottom of the screen. expect my mouse almost horizontal w/ respect to my arm which mess up my mouse control and end up missing circles.

If there is a habit that I should pick up I would try playing HR and/or HD more because right now I rarely play with those because I'm extremely bad at it

change to full singletap, i independently picked up rrtyui's tapping style because i felt like using both fingers. he has full control of his fingers. i do not.

also make sure that more than 15% of my plays get past the 30 second mark lmao

^yup, I'll mostly make sure I'm not spending more than 75% of my tries on the first few notes of the song. I hate you Scarlet Rose
- Less DT, more acc
- actually train on long streams instead of telling myself "fk this, it's boring and exhausting *deletes map*"

... okay the third part, honestly I don't believe it myself *coughs*

omg. That's me right now.

I would learn to alternate. Or maybe use my index finger as the main finger instead of middle.

I wouldn't have spent a long time playing maps that weren't challenging for me, it didn't help me improve at all and it was a waste of time.

I would single tap more, alternating every note has made streaming hard to learn for me.

Put HR on every single map. Never turn it off. Pretend it's a requirement to play the game.

Practice stream maps from the start, playing insanes then crashing at streams is pissing me off so much.

I would learn to use mods. I'm terrible with mods.

My perception of what was a good or bad habit needed fixing, since my fear of developing "more" bad habits ultimately slowed me down.

I always believed that playing a map with mods was a bad idea if I couldn't play it nomod. So I trolled myself over and over trying to FC maps that were a waste of time... and never broke into AR10 or HD'ing insanes for ever. I determined that my reading skills were inadequate for use of any mods on any map if I couldn't FC those maps without mods first. Aha... I ended up mostly playing streamy maps without mods for a long time.

I would learn goddamn doubles and quads and the ability to slow them down (which is easy for triples, imo). I think I'll always have a problem with these. >>

^these two, I just started caring about pp too much when ppv2 came out (another 'bad habit,' or rather more like a mindset I'd like to drop).

I'm only at 5k plays, I might just start doing these two anyway to form the habits even if it results in my rank deteriorating for a while.

edit: The other day my friend said something like "what if some noob somehow accidentally always had Perfect on, so by some thousand plays in they were a god at SSing without knowing they could turn it off." That would be an interesting habit to form.

The 07th expansion song with sick streams give you shittons of PP, and it's ar10..
There are a lot of ar10 songs that'll give you good amounts of PP

I'm sometimes too slow to move or too fast and I miss hit circles. So I'd try practice on my aim.
Sometimes I just can't be bothered spinning and lose my combo.
I freeze up or choke in the middle of a song. I'd ditch my nervousness.

To try focus on my mistakes and remember it.
Using peripheral vision to do jumps.
Change to windowed mode sooner.
Learn to play hidden.
Try FC more or get a good accuracy.

I'd also use less time trying to play maps I couldn't even read and not have wasted my time.

Actually complete maps before quitting immediately after missing.
Stop blinking like a madman every time I play.
Learn how to slow stream.

Maybe some patience too, man wouldn't that be wonderful.

You can just start doing all this now, why would does it make a difference if you started doing it from scratch compared to having all the skills you have now.

Because there is actually some neuroscience behind it, and what you do at first has a greater impact than what you start doing later.

Thats called building tolerance, what i'm talking about is "learn AR11" starting fro mscratch wont make learning AR11 easier. Attitude changes as well, if you want to play DT instead of playing for high accuracy you don't need to start from scratch to change how you play.

I am actually relearning osu!mania (well it isnt Standard but whatever).Main because i realized that all i do is mashing buttons half the time in osu mania, so yeah. Unlearning extremely bad habits that i have probably been reinforcing for around 3-4 weeks. My goal is a consistent 90%+ accuracy (and 85%+ accuracy with HR)
