I was deliberating which forum category this would best fall under. Please move it if there's a more suitable place for this.

So I was watching Pewdiepie's video like a crap load of people. During the video I found myself thinking, why are new players so bad at osu?
This led me to wonder if it's possible to "un-get-good" at osu so that you're back to square one, trying to recognize that a circle is approaching. Not that I'd ever dare to get worse at this game.

Don't think it's possible, osu is like learning to ride a bike imo. First time u fail horribly, fall down a lot and suddenly u can ride it like it's second nature. Osu felt the same for me. First u don't even know what's happening and later it becomes natural. Even if I don't play osu for weeks I still can play what I could play before.

I guess that's true.
Sometimes I like to think what would happen if I became a father and had children that played osu if it would still exist.

I think we just instinctively move our cursors to every circle that we see now.

change your mouse/kb/tablet hands and turn your screen upside down and mirror it

can't really unlearn without damaging/shutting down the part of brains you use when you play (you will have to use another part of brain for it, learn it again)

if you change the task to something brains don't easily recognize you can enjoy learning it again, but you will still probably do it faster

can you unlearn how to walk? how to breath? how to drive a car once you did it for thousands of miles?

no. you can't just forget something you have spent so much time on.

You can only reset your mussle memory for hands.
Like going from singletapping tablet+keyboard to click+x mouse fullalternate.
But you can't untrain your eyes and ears. Eyetraining is what enables you to read AR9(newbs can't do that) and Eartraining is what enables you to get good accuracy by hearing when you're off and whether you're early or late and also keeping a steady beat.

Not all new players are bad at all. Sure most people join with not much experience of rhythm games, but if you have played a game that requires fast reactions or have good hand-eye coordination you should easily be able to read the circles closing and aim them. Then gain everything else you need from there.

Pretty sure you can adjust everything you just stated. Just takes time and effort.

Just answer the following question: As an adult, can you shrink your height back to when you were born?

If you want to experience that feeling again try playing ksm/mania (especially ksm if you are already comfortable with mania).

How to untrain yourself:

1) Find a bad skin
2) Change you keys to the other side of the keyboard
3) Play on a non mech keyboard (if you are playing on a mech)
4) Lower your chair (if possible)
5) play on windowed 800x600 osu! with the window not centered (off to the side)

Good luck! And tell me if that works, because idk honestly

Just flip your tablet upside down and play with invisible cursor. Done.

EDIT : And tap the keyboard using your toes
