I just recently got the hang of doing stars in the lower 4+ range decently, but it took me quite a bit of work to get here. Which made me wonder, how long would it take your average osu player to get up to playing those scary 5 star songs?
Well, I FCed my first 5* Star Map today, well, technically yesterday, but anyway, it only took me like 3 days of playtime (The first day of playtime I was just playing with M+KB and I didn‘t attempt to improve before I habe my Tablet CTL-480S-S bt) so it took me 3 days of playtime in around 4 months (I don’t have so much time) to FC my first 5* Map, well, it is only at 94% but it took me like 4 attempts to FC this map and I am still improving, I will come back and get a higher Acc when I get used to the star difficulty.
But it still depends on the player himself and talent, some people have a talent to play rhythm games and improve tremendously in a short time and other ones improve slowly. But to quote Tokaku in one of her Youtube Videos (do not take it serious, it is just a joke) "You just suck, play more.“
But here are my tips.
Learn what CS, HP, AR, OD means and get used to it, play stream maps and start with a slow bpm to build up stamina. Play Jump Training Maps to improve your jump acc and your cursor speed, play longer maps, to also build up stamina and getting more consistent, so maps that are +2:30min long. Play for a longer time in a day, not only 30min, I need 30min to only warm up. Play like 3hrs or even more, at least 2 times a week to improve. But the most important thing, have fun. I don’t recommend playing maps you don‘t like, whatever the reason is, because you won’t improve as fast as you could on maps you like.
