So I'm at the point where I can play most hard beatmaps getting a rank B when I play them for the first time, But I just can't seem to catch the speed of insane maps, is this the point where I just have to practice a single insane map to hell untill I can respond and move my mouse that fast? I remember doing that to go from normal to hard, but I'm just not sure if it's that simple for insane maps.

How to go from hard to insane?

There are a few easy insane maps and there are a few hard hard maps.
Try to find a song that is challenging but seems do-able and keep retrying.
If you fail after like 10 tries and it doesn't seem do-able anymore at all, find another song and repeat the process.
P.S. Wow. I began this game later than you and my playcount is 3 times as high.

Thanks guys, I'll look for a do-able map and keep retrying then. ^^
Haha ^^ in my defense, I did quit for like a whole week!bradyoo wrote:

First insane I ever passed : http://osu.ppy.sh/b/38377 took me 200+ retries. And that was after 2weeks of game lol.
From my personal experience, I would first try some fairly difficult maps that I can barely follow. Play that for a few hours. Then play some easier insane diffs. The easier insane diffs will probably come naturally at that point.
Honestly, I think it's all in the map itself.
There are some maps where I can barely FC the hard, but I can do well on the Insane. And there are some maps where I know I could never possibly even pass Insane.
I agree with yoshi, though: Play an even mix of 'easy' Insane maps [maps you know very well are good], and of 'hard' Insane maps [also maps you know well, or totally new maps].

i'm playing on 1.0 400dpi and it feels so good. So it's player preference- some may want almost don't move his/her hand(high dpi) and some may want fly with it(low dpi)
play more 
The main challenge of most maps for many people is the approach rate of the approach circles. This takes some getting used to. Some people get used to the faster approach rates faster, some people take forever.
Also, the transition from mid to high level play WILL require the recognition of note patterns at the first glance. Usually you will eventually remember through experience, but sometimes hard memorizing helps for some.
What to do: Find a map you cannot pass, play it in No-Fail. If you can't read the map go and have the Autobot play it and observe very closely how the cursor moves. Eventually you'll be able to keep up. And NO I fully disapprove of Spun Out because you can't practice spinning hands on.

It took me 3 months to go from hard to insane. I just thought that if I keep trying insane maps my hand-eye coordination will improve sooner.
But still, I don't know how you guys finish something like this http://osu.ppy.sh/s/10143
It always reminds me how slow my stream speed is

Try taiko if you have trouble keeping rhythm during streams. If you can't keep a stable rhythm then how can you hit those super hard streams.
If you can play the map on taiko without trouble, then you can focus on actually moving along the notes. Where the notes are on the playing field for the most part is irrelevent. If you can find the beat you know how to hit the notes no matter where they are. Taiko will remove the locations of the notes and allow you to find the beat. The beat of the song will then instruct you how to hit the notes.
After that its just practice until you can play to the pace of the difficulty.

Exactly. When I did nothing but play hardrock 2 months ago, I could hardly even recognize maps like http://osu.ppy.sh/s/18009 that had been "on the edge" stuff last time I played it. It felt that slow.aevv wrote:
truth in this, playing hardrock/doubletime often will make other maps feel slow/easier
Well.. It really depends on the maps and the person, I would recommend you to just play different maps that you find difficult to get an A or a good B but I would never tell you to play the same map over and over and over. Just cycle through the maps, download and try new challenges, that's the best way to get better, I also think you should have fun with the maps you're playing because if you start to anger for not being able to pass a map then you will not be able to play fine and relaxed anymore, and believe me, you don't want that to happen.
