Hate? No... a little chaos makes maps interesting. It's a lot better than having a map where the patterns just trudge around the screen in a predictable fashion.Espionage724 wrote:
Does anyone else hate when you see a stream or group of beats, but they don't go in the order you expect them to?
I really have no idea how to even handle beatmaps that do that :/. I try the beatmap over and over, but usually I can't see where or what beat I miss and etc...There are several things can be done to help with working out tricky patterns:
1) Practice with mods. Easy is not your friend here (it will only make things much, much worse here). Hard Rock works wonders for dealing with chaos if it doesn't push the approach rate and drain to a point you can't deal with... smaller circles and a higher AR can really clean things up in some maps. Half Time, Auto, Relax, and Auto Pilot are also very useful for working out what a pattern is (ie play in Auto Pilot and watch the mouse movement while you work only on the beat). Keep in mind that Spun Out is useful if you don't want a play to be ranked.
2) Playing songs in Taiko or CtB can help if the issue is working out rhythm... they both present time in a simpler to see/hear fashion than approaching circles.
3) Open the song in the editor and look through it. You can also use it to practice the particular section you're having problems with, as well as using it to get really slow playbacks or just scroll back and forth.
4) Use a skin with very small or blank score markers so they won't obscure upcoming circles.
this is a good map to practice streaming.. 
but, if you want to know more about streaming, just play osu stream compilation
