you realize most people at 2800 pp can't fc the kinds stuff you can, right? i can't fc most of the stuff on your top ranks.

being a low acc player typically means you're significantly better than most people with the same pp..

like my senpai
Ye but I think it's pathetic that I still cant stream after having 23k plays. and most of my low acc fc's is because i mainly get 100's and 50's on streams :(

after 8 tries I passed ice angel with 66% acc http://puu.sh/lOkhk/1132301a6e.jpg. Getting decent acc seems impossible :(. But thanks for the map was fun to play :p

Atm I can only stream 185-200 bpm with OK acc. below 185 bpm ill get like 60-70% acc on the streams cause i cant control my speed. Above 200 bpm is just too fast for me..
For slower streams try pressing down on your keys harder. I don't know if it's just me, but I find it much easier to regulate speed if I use more force.
For faster streams (assuming you have linear key switches) try not to bottom out the keys. I try to only push it as far as the actuation point. It's a little harder to be accurate when pressing lightly however.

should I change the keys I use?
What keys you use doesn't really matter, just use what feels best to you. (I use F and G)

tomden wrote:

When I practise my streams I often dont know what to play should I play maps with long streams or maps with short streams and should I start with really low bpm (120-140) or bpm just below my comfort level (175-180).
It seems everyone has a different way of learning in osu! so I can't really say for sure. Personally, "garbage long stream practice maps" seemed to help quite a bit, along with just regular streamy maps of course. I used the long stream practice maps to build stamina and I play maps like Ice Angel, Defenders, etc. to practice overall control. As far as what bpm to practice, I usually played the fastest bpm I could without completley getting rekt.

I'm no pro player so I could be wrong, but I am pretty confident in my streaming ability. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tips I'll try to press down the key harders for slow streams because atm I don't even bottom out my keys most of the time. I feel like I dont really need to practise stamina right now, I can play 8 min stream maps without a problem (except for my shitty acc ofc :p) and I feel like playing the highest bpm I can isn't going to help me with lower bpm streams. I notice that my streaming speed has gone up by just playing the game but my acc on low bpm maps is still the same as 1-2 years ago.

I suspected this, and now it is confirmed, my heart in pieces.


I don't have a problem with streams right now, I find square jumps to be much harder.

I used to press keys down hard and tense, sometimes I still do on slow streams, but being gentle is better in every way possible imo, though there isn't really a way to get around it, so I guess tensing isn't all that bad.

By the way I thought those stream practice maps were made for people who can stream already and want to incrase stamina(??).
I've never played any.

I'm jealous I've never gotten 99+ acc on a 4+ star map :( Btw whenever I have trouble with a jump pattern in a map I go play some 2010 maps and for some reason I'm able to read the jump patterns after that :p.

And about the stream practise maps I guess you can use them to learn to stream I used to play them sometimes and could often get a decent combo but my acc was absolute shit.

I feel like I'm in the same boat, only I can't stream to save my life. I can mostly do bursts of 5 notes up to like, 190bpm maybe... Otherwise, streams cause my fingers to lock like crazy.

For me it makes no difference if a stream contains 5, 50 or 100 notes I'll have the same acc on all of them, I can't even do low bpm triples with decent acc. I really hope I'll be able to fix some of my 85% acc fcs on low bpm streamy maps soon :p

I wouldn't call them garbage. I just don't think you should start with them. I find that they are good for improving unstable rate and stamina.

Please try settling in low bpm (140-170) stream maps. Getting below 97% in those and still plays higher bpms is absolutely NOPEworthy.

That's the gist of it. Most of the low bpm stream maps are really ancient and boring to play compared to #2015ebicmaps but you have to somehow endure that.

Seems like there are many people that's struggling at streams (I'm one of them).

I just play with my intuition and hearing the music carefully. Sometimes I get perfect streams, but sometimes in the same map and same stream I messed up, even though I think I did the same things during the perfect try. It's just confusing

Your streaming can only get as good as your single tap acc. Better practise that first.

Well, that sucks. Maybe tryharding a map to get the feel? I don't know, I'm actually kinda new to this game so you might not want to take my advice.

thanks to erikG I finally found out what my problem is. It looks like I can't control my speed at al. When I try to gradually increase my tapping speed once i hit like 75 bpm streaming speed my fingers start to vibrate uncontrollable between 180-200 bpm(this happens only when i use my left hand :o). Now I need to find a way to fix this and i'll finally stop getting those c's on low bpm maps :p.

I see only one way for me to fix this => learn to fully alternate everything (looks like even when i try to just alternate through a map i'll trigger my vibrate habit even on non stream parts :/) I'll start by playing only <120 bpm maps till my habit doesn't get triggered and work my way up and see if I can fix it this way. If I don't make progress this way I'm just going to give up on streams.

Please just enjoy game and stop taking questionable advice that involves something you most likely do not enjoy. There are multiple ways to improve at anything. Choosing the method you find least enjoyable is just going to turn this game into a grind and you'll be back here in a month complaining about how you spend X hours a day trying to improve and don't.

Yeh, but I feel like if I want to be able to stream(or just doing triples) I need to somehow get rid of my bad habit. But ye maybe you are right and I should just keep playing these 180bpm+ 5-6 star maps and not care about other people calling me bad because I can't pass streamy 140 bpm 3 star maps.

Nobody gives a shit about streamy 3 star maps. They don't give pp. They don't show up in relevant tournaments. The only thing they are good for is DT. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to make themselves feel better about wasting time learning a useless skill.

This is literally the kind of shit that makes 2015 maps terribad. "Waaahh waaahh why don't you give me my totally-not-DT-bait maps waaaahhh get b&!"

Cease your memeposting at once. Nobody even told our newbie here to stop playing hard maps; just don't forget to include low bpms.

because low bpm streaming ability is totally useless for 'relevant' maps right? It's not like that would come in handy for something like furiosa melodia where the low bpm jump streams to higher bpm transitions are definitely one of the highlights of its difficulty.

or heck, anything else that has any low bpm stream parts OR high bpm [beyond singletapping] 1/2 or 1/3 segments. too many examples to mention.

come on chain i expected better from you. not everything that people play is static 180-260 bpm. Your advice leads him down a path where all hes going to be able to play are very simple single mid-high bpm maps that are only mapped in 1/2 or 1/4.

Please people take your blinders off and enjoy the hard work that mappers have put into this last year... It's getting really fucking annoying seeing people shit talk 2015 mapping when mapping has only been improving. Yes, the straightforward maps no longer have shitty flow - that's called an improvement. There are still plenty of reading intensive maps getting ranked that you people seem to be completely ignoring. Maps don't need to be 3* and they don't need to be 140 bpm to be fun and interesting.

This thread is great

If you can't stream then you haven't gone through the required physical development to be able to stream.
Streaming is not like aim or reading, you won't just 'get it' eventually, you actually need to work towards it. Fuck that guy who said stream practice maps aren't helpful, they truly, truly are (and worked for me), because they'll push the physical development you need to be able to stream well. Play streams a lot, every day, until it burns. If it burns while you're playing, good. If it burns when you're done playing, bad (you've overdone it). Every day you'll notice an improvement even if it's just being able to have the stamina for one extra note.

Learning to stream well takes a lot of hard work, so if you really want it, work hard. That's it. Start off at your upper limit until you can competently do it. Add 10BPM. Repeat. It gets exponentially harder. Btw, my range is 190-300 so take my advice if you want to be a faster streamer, I guess. Stream control is an entirely different thing.

When was having control over your streams a useless skill? The whole reason we suggest him these 3 star maps is so he can improve his streaming ability. They are not supposed to give PP.

I coudn't agree more with jesus1412fan. Face it. You can't avoid streams in osu! since it's an essential part of the game just like jumps are. Thats just how it is, and it's not going to change. Only playing DT and jump maps will not make you better in the long run. I'm not telling you to stop playing these maps, and I am not telling you to stop having fun. But if you want to achieve more than DT farms then I suggest you should fix your problem.

I'ts not like I completely avoid streams, I play them daily but atm only in the 175-220bpm range. I do see improvement in my higher bpm streaming, I have improved my acc on 200 bpm stream maps alot in the last 5 months. It's just that playing lower bpm maps fucks with my head. I needed at least an hour today to adjust to playing harder maps again.

I also understand now how and when I created the habit of just vibrating my fingers starting at 180ish bpm when I do streams. I went through my old replays from when I just started playing this game and apparantly I created this technique by playing https://osu.ppy.sh/s/48979 and https://osu.ppy.sh/b/91037&m=1 every day, I have like 20 nf replays on both starting from 20% to 80% acc till I could pass them. Yes I know this is a stupid way to play but it's just the way I did, it's how I always playe. Till now my goal was always to pass maps not to fc them, and I only cared about maps that I could barely pass (I skipped the whole progress of learning low bpm and low ar). Once I passed a map I would never play it again (even if it was a C or D rank pass), my topscores were just lucky first pass fcs. I understand that I need to learn all aspects of the game to become a good player, I jus't dont feel like changing my playstyle drastically and learn the game the proper way because it would feel like doing a chore instead of playing a game for my own enjoyment.

I'm glad that I finally understand what I'm doing wrong(thanks erikG), but I'll keep playing the game the way I enjoyed playing it till now.

I coudn't agree more with jesus1412fan. Face it. You can't avoid streams in osu! since it's an essential part of the game just like jumps are. Thats just how it is, and it's not going to change. Only playing DT and jump maps will not make you better in the long run. I'm not telling you to stop playing these maps, and I am not telling you to stop having fun. But if you want to achieve more than DT farms then I suggest you should fix your problem.
I'ts not like I completely avoid streams, I play them daily but atm only in the 175-220bpm range. I do see improvement in my higher bpm streaming, I have improved my acc on 200 bpm stream maps alot in the last 5 months. It's just that playing lower bpm maps fucks with my head. I needed at least an hour today to adjust to playing harder maps again.

I also understand now how and when I created the habit of just vibrating my fingers starting at 180ish bpm when I do streams. I went through my old replays from when I just started playing this game and apparantly I created this technique by playing https://osu.ppy.sh/s/48979 and https://osu.ppy.sh/b/91037&m=1 every day, I have like 20 nf replays on both starting from 20% to 80% acc till I could pass them.

You do that, Tomden. The most important part of this game is to have fun :)
