So, i hit the point where i struggle on maps over 4★, not fast enough. Should i keep going on those or should do some DT 3★? Thanks

one difficulty of maps with higher star rating is, that they tend to have more complex patterns in them. At your level, lots of your speed will depend on your ability to recognize certain patterns faster, to be able to play more "fluently", if that makes sense. I don't think that playing DT will help your case more than just pushing harder nomod maps. I think its too early to go off on DT.

I'd keep on going with nomod until ~1500pp, then maybe mix it up with some DT to build tapping- and streaming-speed.

Thanks for response, yeah it makes sense. I just want to get better player and play more difficult maps. Not really interested in easy PP. So hard(some insane) maps it is.

Play maps that you found interesting to play)
For me,l play 3-4stars with dt/dthd
Some 4 stars nomod/dt(if it's not too hard to tap)/hr
And 5+ nomod
When l play,i warm up on harder ones and then go to maps,that need high stability and accuracy.
That improve my skill everytime I play)

Yesterday a played a lot of >4★ maps. After 5-6 maps i somehow could track and follow over 90% of jumps and streams. Felt really great. HR is only mod i played succesfuly so gotta yet to try DT/HD on easy ones.

How about ~3-4 stars (CS<=4) DT+HR?

Jumping diffs/Learning mods is always hard, but you can break it up somewhat.

For instance, I am pretty much spot on (besides some consistency hiccups) with the diffs I should be playing in (generally 5-6 stars with OD9), and I am trying to transition into HR. My precision,aim, and UR/OD Control is good enough, but I cannot read high ARs. I am currently practicing learning how to read higher ARs (10-10.3).

See what you need to work on.

Is it speed? (Are you bad at bursting streams? Can't tap fast enough? Etc.)
Is it aim? (Can you do screen jumps at all and can you snap quickly?)
Is it precision? (Do you find higher CS or smaller circles too tiny?)


Since you are just jumping from 3 stars to 4 stars, I am going to guess that it's not too drastic. Like what the people above said, what you might be lacking in is patterns, but jumping from 3 stars to 4 stars usually mean getting out of your AR8 comfort zone and stepping into AR9. Just learn how to read higher ARs and patterns better and you should be fine. Most players don't even focus a category at your level, they just learn how to read and improve their skills gradually. Half of osu is reading ;)!

I would always recommend you play more nomod instead. If you want to practice high BPM, play high BPM nomods.

Don't worry, everyone overexerts themselves at times.

Once it took me over 2 weeks to recover from a time I played far too long and far too fast D:
