just so we're clear here: if you can FC 7 star maps with crazy mods, you're not good

you're way past being "good"

Change 7 to 5.

yeah just FCing a 7 star map modless is something thats pretty much limited to people in top 300-400 which is very elite

I usually think of anyone above 45k to be good at this game. Basically by that point you can triple, jump, and stream which are the core mechanics of this game anyway.

I would disagree that, no, you can't. Not even at 10k.

If someone's better than you, they're "good".
If they're worse than you, they're "bad".

In the perspective of a low rank player, and "average" player would seem godlike.
In the perspective of a high rank player, an "average" player would play like shit.

If you have finished a map above 5 stars, you can call yourself above average

What is considered good or bad for an Osu! player
It really depends, if you like farming, then go become a farmer and have fun but don't play for ranks, don't play for pp, play to have fun and improve. Now, as a new player with only around 1000 plays, you should enjoy Osu as much as you can. Once you start gaining skills and knowledge of the game, you will realize, wow i'm better than majority of Osu players. However, once you achieve that, you will also realize that you are in fact better than most Osu players which leads to less competition in multiplayer. Just think about it, you are already playing multi and getting 1st place, now what if you were better than yourself by 100x, yes multi-player will be easy, boring and slow. You will find it difficult to play slow songs because you love playing fast songs that you really enjoy and it will be harder to find people around your rank in multi and even if you find a person close to your rank when you''re really pro, rank does not matter as skill level will differentiate tremendously. Just compare #1 player worldwide and #1 player in Australia.

btw, i think a good player is a player who plays unranked maps as they play to improve and have fun rather than work on their ranks
a good player does not worry about improving, rather, a good player will strive to improve with what they have and work on their strengths in order to have fun
AT THE SAME TIME MAKE GOALS FOR YOURSELF, for example, i want to be able to beat xxxx eventually, this will allow you to really have a purpose of playing osu

A good player will play to improve and enjoy doing so. The people stating hat you should enjoy playing and improve as a side effect are the ones frustrated when they try to improve, but can't.

To be able to play with consistency in maps around 5 stars, with good accuraccy and being able to read from ar8 to 10 perfectly. Is considered a good player for me.
To only be able to play 1 ar, 1 mod, having 50000 plays on farm maps, not be able to read different patterns and with inconsistency. Is considered a bad player for me.

Rank doesn´t matter for shit. It really says how much you´ve focused on going up the ranks, not how good you are. If you are good you can rank easily, but NOT the other way around.

Number of plays > unstable rate > rank
Great osu player usually have
> 50,000 plays
Unstable rate < 100

High number of plays mean that the player get use to the game environment. Usually prefer harder difficulties [ > 4.5 stars]. Although they can play easy song all day. It's not going to up rank them. Instead, it has the opposite effect. That's why you rarely see great players play easy, normal diff


Unstable rate mean that they are consistent on each beat. No miss and very few 100s. The lower the better

I don't care much about pp because it depends on the song you play and it is subjective.
No, that's not how it works, if anything, it's the other way round. I know people slow as a snail, but they can get sub-100 UR on ezpz songs. UR is more impressive the higher the star count of the song (The more pp it gives), and even then, there is more to the game than accuracy, people can be good in other ways.



I personally think around 5000-6000pp starts to make a player worthy of the label "good".

Well you are probably not being diverse with what you play, or you are just simply calling yourself overranked, when in fact (mostly compared to others of your rank) you are not.

how can you be overranked compared to players of other ranks

that's like determining the quality of a car while comparing it to a motorcycle

People that are saying stuff like 4k, 5k, 6k pp have obviously no idea what rank is an average player in this game.
Just go through the multiplayer lobby, or scroll through online users, and you will find that average player is much closer to top 100k than to top 1k.
And what is "good"? Isn't being above average enough to be considered good at what you're doing?
Saying that top players in the game are just good is quite inadequate in my opinion.

no, there is a difference between good and above average. If the average mark on a test in your class is 3 (0-10) and you get a 5, then it's above average but it's not good.
I would say good = 4000pp+

I can agree with that, however if we can't say that if someone is above average he is good, and if someone is below average than he is bad, we have no objective way of telling it.
Most guys in this thread are subjective to the bone (that's what I've been pointing out), and like someone before mentioned it is all about:
you are better than me = you are good
you are worse than me = you are bad.
I am just trying to find some middle ground here. 8-)

It is generally agreed upon that it takes 10000 hours of deliberate practice to get to a level where you are an expert at something, do to some handwavy math, you can interpolate good to take roughly 2000-3000 hours to become good at something.

At that number of hours played, we'll assume an average of 2.5 minutes per play due to retries and etc. the lower end for that would be around 48000 plays and the higher end would be around 72000 plays. Furthermore, the ratio of deliberate practice to regular play will vary amongst players, so for the lower bound for good would be around 48000 plays and upper bound somewhere around 90000-100000 plays.

Keep in mind this assume an average level of "talent", and as such people who are really focused, have really efficient practising, or know exactly how to analyze their own play might have a lower lower bound. Thus, as a really rough estimate, to become "good" in an absolute sense requires around 30000-100000 plays, and to become expert, could be anywhere from 50000-infinity plays depending on various variables.

Good in a relative sense can probably be modelled somewhat by a gamma distribution.

Based on this chart
http://paulbourke.net/miscellaneous/fun ... adist4.gif

and with a value of B of perhaps 0.75, let's take the best player as having a 10 on the X axis, to have half of his absolute skill, you'd need to roughly be in the top 2% of the active population.

Basically, this is shitposting done well.

Like what ?? Of course you can compare yourself with other players of different ranks. Maybe i was misunderstood but being overranked literally means you or other people consider you worse player than someone of a lower world ranking, correct me if im wrong but you are comparing to people of a different ranking than you right there. I get your point but in osu is completely different since ranking is just related to how many songs you have fced, a player with less pp than you can play equally or even better than you do so it is good to compare, being higher rank does not put you in a different category since there is no such thing in this game. E.g a player who has been playing for 3 years, now decreasing in rank and not caring much about pp (rank 4000) vs a 1 year player whos been farming his way through the ranks rank (2000). Would you think im comparing a car to a motorbike there ?

yah

you're comparing someone who doesn't give a fuck about rank with someone who actually gives a fuck

3 years to 4000 sounds like hell.

The definition of 'good' will always change due to people improving. I believe people are decent at the game when their PP > rank. https://osu.ppy.sh/p/pp/?m=0&s=3&o=1&f=0&page=81
