So I've been playing on a daily basis now, about 3 hours every day. I used to be able to do streams and very fast single-tapping, and was ranking up at quite a fast pace (personally for me). But then all of a sudden, about last Saturday, I turned on osu! and suddenly the feel of the pen and the keys weren't there, and when I played my fingers (both pen and keys) were stiff. After 10 seconds of tapping with my index finger I need to change to my middle finger then the timing went all wrong. Can prolonged gameplay cause this and will resting for a few days help? Cuz I'm scared that after resting the muscle memory would weaken.

As with any injuries, you should probably take a break; don't worry about muscle memory, it doesn't go away that easily (unless you don't play for an extended period of time). Your health is more important in the long term.
You should probably also take into account that some days, performance won't be as strong as some other days; never expect to perform at your peak all the time.

I think that's something everyy Osu player experiences every now and then. Resting for some days will most likely help since your hands might just be too stressed out. Even if your hand isn't the reason it should help because you might for example just be tired.
Especially if you have that problem for some days allready it might also just be your mind. If you always think about how bad you are right now you will play bad, too. And that's nothing you can overcome with concentration, you have to take a break and try to start playing casually again without caring too much (just try to forget about ranking up, maybe play some new mods and so on).
Btw, speaking to my own face is irritating

That's barely enough time to warm up.KokoaCrunch wrote:

Take a day off or two every so often give muscles time to repair. Then come back stronger.

Playing the game won't hurt your muscles(Arguable)... xP
You could play through it or you could take a break. I suggest taking a break for awhile. No damage is done!
Actually, it's different for most people.Kheldragar wrote:

If you don't take breaks more often, you'll contract RSI.

At least I still improve XDKheldragar wrote:

I am perturbed.
Most probably this is because:
You are trying to play a map which is too hard and your hands are not warmed up. Some days you wake up and remember the last time you played a hard map and want to play that again right away, so your fingers mess up and end up not tapping at all. To fix this, just go and play wayy easier and slower songs for a while, to warm up and then go back.
Your hands may be too tired and you should take a break. Don´t let it affect you psycologically tho, its completely normal. Youll end up frustrating yourself if not.
