What's the best way to improve?
I'm decent at jumping but everyone can do that
I die so much on streams even short ones
How to improve?
I'm only good around 3* maps
Thanks

Then, play a little bit higher than 3 star. Don't worry to much about streams now, just make sure you are comfortable with triples first

Also, I'm M1 player should I consider learning K1 and K2?

You mean mouse button? Yeah, I would suggest giving using your keyboard a try. I started playing this game with the mouse, just because I didn't know you could use the keyboard. The keyboard made it sooooo much easier, and a lot more fun

Alright thanks
And to me keyboard seems quite hard but rewarding because I can never time it right.
Left hand sucks

Yeah, it feels really weird at first. But it helps a lot later because you can split the work that your hands have to do and it becomes less tiring. You can imagine trying to death stream with only one hand doing both. ughhhhh

I am assuming you want the fastest way to improve regardless of fun, and leaving the fun factor until later when you're much better
So to people who say "play more" and "enjoy game" I made a thread about that here


Onto the question:

The best way to improve is by playing new songs all the time.
This means ideally you should have 10k + maps. And making sure not 5k of then being TV sized jump maps. Try Camellia maps, Hollow Wing maps, SukiNathan...etc

Make sure you play in a star range that you know distinctively when you miss. This means about missing every 10 combo. Humans take negative more than they take positive. So learning by what you miss is faster than learning by what you hit. Which is why you want to play songs that you can get a high combo on. In terms of accuracy I would say about 84% MINIMUM.

Next is do NOT touch mods until you're at least 25k in rank or 2 200pp no mod score. Because otherwise you're not building base osu skills. I made a thread about it you can read it here

Now my last advice, I am not certain of it. It certainly works for me, but I haven't extensively researched it and not enough test subjects for me to be sure this is legit. But either way I will put this out there.

Im gonna be correcting what blitzfrog got wrong.


Playing different kinds of maps is good, youll build a diverse skillset, however retrying and really burning those patterns into muscle memory is also very good, as long as retrying is a pleasant experience.

Play maps within your skill range, this means getting atleast 95% acc, 3/4 combo (can depend on the map) and so on forth. Preferably maps you can just barely FC. An important factor is also knowing why you missed. it helps you know what to work on and what to focus on next time.

Dont touch mods until 4k-5k pp, HD is an exception to this.

Changing your sensitivy everyday using rng is a bad idea, using a very slight change (~0.03-0.07) based on what you feel like (basically if you feel like youre overaiming or underaiming) can be helpful, Angelsim used to do it too. Just dont rng it

I heavily disagree with this. I think you're not realising that muscle memory is built much better through interleaving rather than block learning. Block learning works, but it's half as slow. Literally.

Sure enough retrying below 5 times is good. But over that is just block learning and you can spend your time better elsewhere


The rest Idc because I don't really have much to back it up. So it's probably better to listen to Jukke (logically speaking) since he is like 4x my rank

As long as its a pleasant experience and youre not doing it wrong and getting bad muscle memory it can be rather helpful. When you farm and tryhard a map and get tilted, its not a good experience and wont help you, you get mindblocks like that. However i am talking about a map you can easily FC and already FCed and are just playing it for fun and th pleasant experience in that map. Also burning muscle memory into your hands with something like the square jump practice maps is rather effective, these are things i know from experience

Many people will disagree on this but I believe pp reflects our skills especially at lower pps, just because I've seen my pp to be quite in line with my skills.
I've improved a lot, and I started off with FCing maps. It helped my stamina, map reading, aim, etc..
If I don't try to FC I usually find myself just playing around, hitting notes that I can, not trying enough.

I've also cleared maps with NF that are about 0.5-1 star above my skill level- this helps me get ready for higher skills like big jumps and I aim for 80%+. Otherwise it won't help that much. This method helped me read AR ~8.5 and be ready for the songs later on.

I also disagree with Jukke even though really, it depends on some people, because I've found mods to be fun and good to play with when I'm just sick and tired of nomod/ run out of maps to play. I don't like DT though, because at low stars it's really easy to get pp..

It's not like I'm 1k pp or anything

Alright thanks guys

I strongly agree with jukke that 95% should be minimum. We still do need to keep in mind that this is a rhythm game and not just a button mashing game.

Again, I agree with jukke that HD is an exception but gonna elaborate it based on my experiences. As an HD player myself, it rly isn't a mod that raises the difficulty of a map. In my experience, I can do maps having HD on with the same level of performance in nomod. Let's say I played this 5.5* map in nomod and finished with a decent combo and decent acc, if I would play it in HD, I would most of the time get the same combo and acc like my nomod play, something like that. So imo, HD isn't rly a difficulty mod but more of a playstyle in its own.

Believe me, lower pps aren't an exception (based on my observations at least). This is because our current pp system uses acc and combo as basis for pp. For example, there's a player that can FC 4* maps nomod with decent acc and let's say those give him around 80ish pp. Then there's this player that can't fc 4* maps but plays late 2* maps DT with high acc giving him like80ish pp or even higher. True, DT makes maps harder and all but we all know who is better in terms of skills.

I can clear 10* with NF xd

Anyways, jokes aside, as people told me, use NF if you think you can pass a map but just fail at certain parts. Either way, nomod is still best in progressing through the star diffs.

Welp, guess I shouldn't have said anything about DT as you already stated yourself that pp is rly easy to get with DT, completely ruining your first statement. Anyway, true, mods are fun but I'll tell you now that in hr (assuming you haven't played the mod above 3*), if you try and see the comparison of a map 2* with diffs higher than it, specifically late 3* and higher, you might change your opinion on the mod completely. What I'm saying that mods are good and all, but they're not rly helpful in a player's early stage in this game.

SPOILER

A thread about what I'm going to talk about

Basically changing your sensitivity everyday
Change it just enough so you can feel it. Personally for me, I switch from 0.9~1.1x sens everyday. I just go on google and roll from 90~110 and use that number as my sensitivity. It is important you spend at least 45 minutes with a new sensitivity until you move on to the next. It is also important you have at least a 6 hour gap before changing your sensitivity. Good luck

While humans recall negative experiences better than positive ones, there is no evidence that negative feedback helps more in practice than positive (in fact there's quite a large ammount that suggests it doesn't matter as long as you are challenged)

25k players don't have good fundamental skills, that number is an arbitrary stopping point

the study that was posted about moving a cursor around a screen was largely flawed when trying to vompare it to osu! because it used an unintuitive control system, which osu! doesn't, and it tested for basic ability, not mastery, who knows if in more complex tasks they don't even out after a while, not to mention how your brain handles tasks that are similar to eachother (spoiler alert not well)

also there is nothing wrong with jump maps, they help with learning to aim and reading cross map patterns

@OP play a variety of maps, including jumps, play multi and hit F2 for variety, play songs both within and outside of your skillrange, and have fun you'll get good without noticing

My god, there is just those people who ignore the main point and argue for the sake of arguing

Yes you're right there is no evidence to show which one improves faster. But my main point on that paragraph isn't about that. It's about being able to distinguish which note you hit and which note you miss.
Now on the same topic, you will learn faster in osu if you learn by misses because you will remember them and remember WHY you missed. Rather than RNG moving mouse and going Hey! That worked for some reason!


25k is recommended by others, but it's about the right time when people have around 200 PP and are playing around late 5*. So Jukke knows this one better.


Idk where you get the idea from that the brain handles tasks that are similar to each other badly. It handles it excellently in fact. For example, improving in tour G major scale is likely gonna increase your skill at playing E major scale. Similarly if you know every scale and I suddenly introduce you to a new one, you will be able to play that one almost flawlessly first try. So long as the change is not too large, like from golf swing to basketball shooting. This is called interleaving. Works especially well with basic motor skills. And changing sensitivity doesn't change it from moving a mouse to throwing a mouse.

To the study itself. It is in no way unintuitive nor largely flawed when compared to osu. Saying a squeezing device is unintuitive is like saying a ball mouse whatever it's called is unintuitive. Also osu is not complex in motor skills in anyway. Compared to something like table tennis or badminton, it is a joke. Also, I think you have to realise that the main point of the study isn't about how fast you learn, but the best way you learn motor skills. That sounds retarded but ill explain. Learning fast means learning something to a good degree fast. Best way to learn is allowing your brain to handle this information the best. This whole point of the study was trying to prove/disprove interleaving. Not to mention interleaving is shown to have allowed information to be stored in the long term memory.

There is indeed nothing wrong with jump maps. Again you're missing the point again. I am saying don't get 10k maps with 8k of them being PP Sized jump maps because obviously you're not getting any variety

Holy fuck this is like a bunch of edgy teens talking about philosophy

What is the best way to improve?

First ensure that you have adequate equipment. A good mouse like roccat savu, logitech pro, or zalman m600-r, or a kinzu v2, etc. And a reliable keyboard like any cherry mx red or brown switch board or etc.. Then you will be using the same equipment that majority of top mouse players use.

Though really if you want to improve a lot faster then probably buy yourself a tablet like ctl-460 and save yourself a lot of headache.

I like how dismissively you started that off, just to continue on and write an essay anyways. Also you seemed to take it quite personally that I argued your points, I hope you're right and I learn a better way to improve at things, my goal wasn't to pidgeon hole your comment, chill.

You said playing maps that you miss approximately every 10 combo, this literally won't help at all, it may help with aim and reaction time, a bit, but as for reading and rhythm sense, it will do almost nothing. Also if you agree there is no evidence humans learn better from negative feedback, why are you stating that they do? the other thing is that most people that are low rank DON'T know why they miss, how many times have you heard "I KNOW I'm on beat, but I keep getting 100s" or even just "I totally hit that." Also IDK what you're on about people hitting notes through RNG, no one in this entire thread praised mashing impossible maps (other than you "...miss every 10 combo")


25k is recomended by who exactly? I've heard people say 25k, 20k, 15k, 10k, 5k, and 1k these are all arbitrarily made up by people who claim to know what rank people generally have solid fundamentals by, which you say is 25k. I personally played nomod to 3k because HR wasn't an easy transition until about then (for me) I also play a lot of multi and I can't call it a fact, but I don't believe even close to most 25k players have good fundamentals, most of them can't read complex patterns in anyway, can't aim hard jumps, and aren't good at streams (albeit usually better than me,) and when you spectate most don't have good rhythm sense, and that's all highly anecdotal but I think most of the time even 15k players are only decent at one of these skills.


A trackball isn't very unintuitive, it works with very specific directional movements, where as squeezing a pointing device sounds vague and without seeing it in front of me I can come up with 5 different ways it might work right off the top of my head, where as a track ball, track pad, mouse, or tablet I couldn't see having to much issue explaining to someone without confusion, but maybe I'm just biased, because I'm already have experience with them. Also I'm not saying the study is flawed at all, just that the comparison to osu! might be.

I guess I was confused because you pointed out jump maps specifically, when you could have just said something more like "as long as you have a good mix of different types of maps" seemed like you were taking some sort of stand against jump maps, my bad.

Personally I don't focus too much on improving per se, I just kinda play when I feel like it, and end up getting a bit better.

Bruh, OT boys never take anything personally and usually not seriously too
Well I'm all for a nice argument, but it seems like you're just missing the point I'm trying to make.


I just realised I wrote 10, was meant to be 100.

Also for the negative consequences, if they would have bothered to watch their replays, they will know more precisely where it is they need to improve on. They know which part of the replay they need to concentrate and figure out WHY they missed. Keep in mind I'm on topic of aim. Aim is not that hard to figure out, its whether you're on there or not. And if it's their left hand messing up, they will know, because you can see quite clearly in the replay. And for the RNG thing, most noobs i see play on maps that are beyond their reading skills. Which makes aiming something pretty much RNG.

Nah, squeezing device imo is as intuitive as any other device. Up is up, down is down. If you can find the scholarship paper for this study it has the thing on it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with comparing the study to osu. In fact they are so closely related. Just so happens that the study to prove interleaving happens to use a mouse-like device to aim at stuff on screen.

Agreed. Blitzfrog got it right. Don't retry unless you learn streaming, but that's another story.

And I don't agree with people saying that playing harder maps helps improving, it's the opposite for me. I'm playing 4-5* maps and if I feel that my aim is on point I sightread 5* maps. You'll build bad habits if you play maps that are too hard, sure it might be fun once in a while to play a hard map, but it'll get you nowhere. Ever saw someone being able to stream 240BPM after playing "Everything will freeze" tons of times? Me neither.

Start from the bottom, get consistent and your comfort zone naturally becomes bigger and you are able to pull off decent plays without effort.

And really, I stopped playing HR at all tbh because I couldn't play it. CS 7 and AR 10? WOAH NO THANKS.. I feel as if that's what usually happens to players tho so I'm not really worried about people struggling with HRs- they won't play it if they can't, I guess..

If you can tap fast, DT is free pp coz same map pattern, but just faster. About hr, trust me, people who can pass high diffs even with hr but can't acc it is, imo, still in the stage of struggling with the mod. This is because they only rely on their reaction rather than actually "clicking to the beat" that makes them hit the notes with 100s and 50s.

Play more.

get triggered

If you have to look at the replay to see what you did wrong, the map is way too hard for you. In a map on your skill level you will know why you missed without the replay.

Also retrying is very useful for improving in this game. Id actually say its very necessary for getting good at this game. For instance for learning a new tapping pattern you take a map with alot of that pattern or a practice map and just spam that map for a long time. Taiko players do this alot, like alot. And for aim, retrying is aldo good for learning consistency in aim control patterns and very large jumps. Retrying the square jump practice maps for a while can help your aim tremendously

I struggle on HR because I can't react to AR10. My reaction speed is not actually that great. I grew up on AR7-8 and have better than average reading, moving onto AR9 was a struggle, I couldn't do this till 2k pp. And didn't become consistent at AR9.6 till 4k pp. That is also why I don't play hidden, because I will actually fail to notice stacks or a corner jump altogether simply because my vision couldn't keep up. I have few AR10 and HD FC because I memorized the map.

What I do is the complete opposite of relying on reaction because my vision is too slow. I know some players who are in the same boat as me.

Im in the same boat, i didnt get consistent at 9.6 until 5k-5.5k pp tho. I grew up on old nightcore maps. I still cant read AR10 (cant react to it fast enough), and for HD its the same as you.

Blitzfrog wrote:

I would argue that going for maps that you get 85% accuracy on is more block learning than interleaving as it is further out of your skill range therefore more different.

Blitzfrog wrote:

There are some things that you learn through misses, however its good to have a balanced play style where you play hard and easy stuff as you cant learn every skill in the game through misses. Getting good accuracy and consistency you learn through playing easier maps where you miss less.

Blitzfrog wrote:

Depends on what you mean by variety, the style may be the same but the positions of the notes and the difficulty of the jumps can vary which means it still benefits from the interleaving effect.

Blitzfrog wrote:

I don't think you need to watch replays to know what you need to improve on, if someone gave me a replay and i had to figure out why they missed I would have no idea. Did they read the note? Did they lose concentration? Did they not have a good enough feel on where to snap to? I wouldn't have a clue by watching a replay. You can only tell through self analysis.

------------------------------------------------------------------


There is a lot of nuance when it comes to improvement in osu. Some things work in some situations and not in others so its important to think about why the advice true and what situations it may not be true based on that reason.

A good example of this is this statement:

Blitzfrog wrote:

The best way to improve is by playing new songs all the time

Both are true even though they seem to be saying opposite things. The subtlety is in the reasons why the advice is true, retrying is a way to increase your skill the fastest by focusing on a certain skill that you lack while playing new songs taps into the interleaving effect. Now that the situations that the advice is true is clear you can see that you can actually do both.

This wont speed up improvement, if it did people who are trying to get good at basket ball would play in a different sized court with a different sized ball, with a different weight etc. Playing different maps is enough to get the interleaving effect. Too many variations turns training into block learning rather that interleaving, which is as you know, bad for improvement.

Can easily FC 2* but sometimes chokes
Can FC a few 3* and acc literally is fked up like one of 3.08* I get 80% then 4.01 I get 89% so random?

Update: Oh I just realise there was a second page didn't see that

It's like I can play M1 very well on jumps and stuff but cant stream
I can play K1 and K2 ok on streams but bad at jumps welp

For now, stick to maps 3.5* or lower nomod then after getting decent acc and fc'ing them consistently, easily work you way up the higher star diffs. Don't rush, improvement will just naturally come to you.
