Hi there !

I'm trying to improve on stream but I'm really bad at this so I 'm here to get some advice from other player.

So here I am, 5 digits players. I can't stream ( 170 - 250+ bpm ) at all. I don't know why but when I'm trying to use my 2 fingers together I just have the feeling that I am so much faster with only 1 finger.
I can single tap high bpm usually without big trouble with bot fingers if I want to, but when i'm trying to play with both for stream or alternate I just can't. Beside that I can burst 3 or 5 notes pretty good too but when it's longer my fingers are like blocked or something xd. I'm pretty sure that I use my wrist to singletap but when it's time to stream nothing works.

Usually, I play every map I like with / without stream but because I can't pass 90% of the maps with stream, I play them with NoFail.

So I wanna how to stream basically :
- With / without wrist ?
- Which type of map ? 4 -5 min map of full streams or map like Boogie ?


Any advice will be appreciated. I know that I need to play to get better and that's prefectly fine :p I just want some practical advice because thse finger are really frozen when it come to stream q.q

Hope that you can read this

-Long maps, 3+ min. long, even maps with only triples or doubles, they will help.


You should know your exact stream bpm limit, since you cant stream 170+, play stream maps around 150-160 bpm.

Breaks are probably bad. I took a two-day long one, it took me a two weeks to recover stability.


But you need to play more for acc. You still lack acc even on pp maps.

No, just don't never ever use your wrist. Only if you want to harm your wrist, then go ahead.

Play this mapset: https://osu.ppy.sh/b/207089&m=0

Start at 120BPM, you'll probably need NF if you can't stream at all. Don't focus on combo too much, just try to get good accuracy and check the hitmeter every now and then to see if you are on point. If you can get decent accuracy on 120BPM you either play it multiple times in a row or move on to a harder difficulty.

Honestly, any map with streams work. I loved streaming early on and played this map to "learn" the basics: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/120071
It's 175BPM and quite easy to get decent accuracy due to low OD.

I practice on 200bpm streams on Defenders and new Uta with AutoPilot or NF (may possibly be lowering my stream accuracy??)

It works for me but maybe not for you so find a method that works.

vinnicci : Ok thanks I will try that kind of maps.
Yeah I know I need to improve my acc :p. I really started playing osu since september just trying to click on circles with 80% acc. So I'm just playing more for that, gained 5 - 10 % acc last month, it start paying I guess.

Cirno9 : Thanks for the mapset I'm trying it right now 120 bpm is pretty slow so I can manage to stream on it but not with perfect acc ( 75~~ ) and 140 is too fast for now (35% acc ). I will play this daily :oops:

JeromeTT : Yeah I'm playing these map but I can only hit jump so I guess it's not yet the time to train streams on these maps even if I'm playing these because i like the song ( BLANKFIELD dream :D )



Thanks guys !

How do you even use wrist for streams? I get too distracted and my streams become unstable.

Just play these everyday. Start with low bpm -> pass -> next one -> etc.

There is nothing such "too slow" in a rhythm game. Fingercontrol is really important and once you get the hang of it you don't want to go vroom vroom anymore. Slow maps are insanely fun :3
