You have less than half as many circles hit as I do and only like 1000 less play count. You barely even play.

Well, your stats in general don't really matter when it comes to progressing to get better in the game. You can still pp farm (though not as easy as it was to farm scores back in the day), which would give you a sense of improvement while it might not actually be. Instead, try setting yourself some long-term and short-term goals for yourself, and work towards them. Don't make your long-term goals too far away (like FCing big black or whatever) as you'd probably get demotivated before you even get close, but something that's out of your reach right now, but not too much. For example, you can pick a song you like, and having FCing that map as your long-term goal. Short-term goals can be stuff like "get an A on this from B" or "have less than 10 misses instead of 15" or things like that. Also, try to not get discouraged when you can't do something, while still being happy when you actually manage something. If you, say, never finished this map with 10 misses or less, it's to be expected that you won't be getting below 10 misses every time you play that map, even if you manage it once or twice.

While working on your short-term goals, go and try your long-term goal now and then, and again, be happy if you do better than before, but don't get discouraged if you didn't do better as well. Your skills will always fluctuate from day to day anyway.

Oh and make sure you're playing maps of songs you like listening to, or maps you think are fun to play. Sooner or later you'll start to see small progress in your gameplay, rather than looking at some number increasing.

Also, if there is anything you can't do well, try to be aware of how you play when you mess up that particular thing. Let's say you can't do doubles well. Try to do the motion of your fingers taht you would need to do for doubles slowly, so that your brain is actually aware of what you need to do. That helped for me at least.

Anyhow, good luck, and in the end it's mostly up to you to find your own weaknesses and fixing them.

Gee I actually wrote a serious post for this. Good thing you're Norwegian.

I have been playing big black a few times now and then, and i have been focusing on playing faster maps because i find it boring to play a map that is slow. I play mostly with no mods or find beatmaps that has low enough bpm to use DT. My accuracy sucks and varies from day to day, sometimes i get almost only 100 and on good days i get accuracy of 97 and above but only on the first half of a map. So i guess, keep playing is my only answer. Thanks and i will follow your opinion. Norway4lyfe :D

lack of determination
Yeah i guess so because after i get a mistake on a map i just search for another map to play.

I think that you should not play any harder maps like big black due to your level skills. Try to practice any maps like jump practice (go check in google. See if there is nightcore or jump compilation) or for streaming, just search deathstream compilation

Jump training maps will make you better at jump training maps. If you want to be able to do any jump, you have to play a whole bunch of different maps.
sayonara_sekai
in my opinion those jump / stream training maps are almost worthless if you dont have the basic technique down but what do I know. Playing the long stream practice maps taught me nothing when I was first learning how to stream

Check my profile and how many years i have played. I know this is a bit weird to say but.. I think im starting to suck on osu. A few weeks ago, I cleared two beatmaps on one song and then i started retrying all the time, everyday, on every beatmap. I'm seeing some improvements and i think osu is fun but that i can't finish even one beatmap is frustrating. To feel like i have accomplished something in osu, I usually just play normal to hard beatmaps on DT and HR or only DT. Still I lose ranks for playing beatmaps with that low difficulty and having a rank on the song ranging from 500 to 100. I have a play count of 17,900 and my friend has only played 15,000 in which he is better than me on osu!. Im also ranking too fast, i guess because i keep retrying maps. Two months ago i had a rank of 35,000 and then i dropped to 38 almost 39,000 which is now. I have seen some who have played osu! for two years but have a rank of 15,000 and can play beatmaps that are really hard and that even i can't FC. In october i changed to full area on tablet and have been changing hand positions, so im not sure if that is affecting my playing. I think osu! really fun to play since that's almost the only game i play everytime im at home. How long I play is from more than 6 hours to 3 hours a day.
I need someone who had the same problems before or have the same problem now. Feel free to ask me question if you need some more information.


And saying get good doesn't get me anywhere.

Considering your play graph shows you've only played for one year HOW DARE YOU even suggest that you have the ability to play at their level. How about you quit the pathetic vanity act and chip away at your flaws like everyone else. I don't know whether to call it arrogance or ignorance comparing yourself to players who have clearly put in the time and effort to improve while you produce this sob story. Everyone hits walls, some more than others but that isn't gonna make me declare I should be as good as Sayo despite nearly having my account as long and neither should you.

You're doing better than I was when I had your amount of experience. Note im talking experience in terms of Total Hits, not Playcount which is useless... Stop being lazy and put the work in if you want to be good, im going on 6 million hits and i rarely find anyone as bad as i am around that #, heck most of the people below my rank are better than me, but I accept it. you only have 1.9. that's nothing, stop retrying, play your maps all the way through, push yourself

I did not write this but i was actually afraid that the way i played didn't improve my skills. So actually im not being arrogant or ignorant and i did not know i could check the graph like that. Basically i lost track of how long i played. I never thought about being ignorant or being jealous ( you didn't say that but) so please ask before complaining.

you have barely played though with under 2 million hits you're right where you should be

I have a lot of exams going on so i won't be able to push myself that hard yet. But i realized that i will improve by playing for fun as i wrote the reply to CXu. This feels like gym in a way o.O

but I still enjoy playing in general. Time to man up and stop being a fag

I feel the same way but I just focus on playing and enjoying the music. I try only every now and then but that's it. For most, this isn't the way to go...but it's lest frustrating.

This is generally what happens when you want to improve at a game. It get's harder as you get better. There's no way to avoid this from happening.
The only advice that I can give is that repetition and devotion are a sure way to get better overall. As for play-counts and experience levels, they're just features in the game that make you stand out from people with lower experience levels and play-counts.

I disagree. Playcount gives insight into how effective those hits are.
To make my point easier to understand:
1000 T.Hits + 1000 Plays vs 1000 T.Hits + 1 Play.
Neither taking total hits nor playcount would give you as much information as both of them together. So if you assume total hits is useful, then it only makes sense that playcount would also be useful.

Relevantly, based on the history graph, I started around the same time as OP.
I'm 11.8k ranks higher, and I have 10k less plays and ~33% more total hits, so you can imagine how inefficient his plays probably are based on those numbers alone.

i crap on your playcount and total hits but i suck dick at this game
