Sure, I'll help someone who has at least put in minimal effort into actually trying to improve by themselves. When there are "how to improve" threads stickied, and the fact that osu! is such a simple game to begin with, asking "how do I get better at clicking circles????" most of the time shows that you haven't actually tried thinking much about the issue yourself or made an effort into finding those very easy to find threads.Originality wrote:
I hate to compare a simple game like osu! to a sport, but the comparison works well. You can learn to swim just fine on your own, but having a coach to guide you along the way, relate to you, and give you advice on how to improve speeds up the process substantially. And you can't make the argument that "everyone has their own way of playing osu". Everyone may have their own way of holding their pen, or their mouse, but in the end, we're all clicking circles, and there's a typical skill progression that players go through, just like in a sport. MOST players are better off starting with low AR and then moving up compared to spamming HR when they first start playing. While this may seems obvious to all of us, it's not obvious to newbies, which is why instead of posting "play more", people should look into why the OP is posting in a forum.CXu wrote:
Rather, OP would get more out of playing the game rather than posting in the forums about playing the game.
If you're not willing to put in the effort to find these things out, why would I want to spend my time when I could spend that on other things? You don't seem like a very motivated player, if at one "roadblock" you instantly stop thinking about it yourself. Chances are you won't get very far until you actually start thinking for yourself anyway, so might as well begin now than being guided somewhere in the beginning.
Also I'm using you in a general sense, not directing it at anyone in particular.
