Hey guys after doing mostly standard, doing some taiko... I have like 6 hour play time and i'm already top 50k in the world lol

I've decided I also want to get into mania!
However I feel that I am much better off sticking 4k maps only. I know they have a tournament for 4k but what i'm wondering about is 4k players

Is it possible to be a strictly 4k player? Are there any good examples of these kinds of players?
Also i've seen a few posts about 4k maps but are there other resources for 4k maps only?

Thanks for any replies!

Examples of good 4k only players:

Minacious Grace
Shadow1800
Walrusizer (probably)
Shoegazer
EtienneXD
Halogen- (I think?)

I can't say snover or attang here in this list but whatever.

Yes you can also play this file in osumania at 1.1 rate if you really want to. It's not game limited. It's about 4k mania. Not 4k osu mania ranked.


No you don't need to play any other keymodes if you don't want to


Resources for 4k files:

Packs or files uploaded by
Xcaliboor

Shoegazer

I suggest NOT sticking to just 4k. If you care about PP, learn 7k, because you can get more PP from 7k maps if you're good at it. In 4k, maps above 4 stars start getting really hard really quickly, but in 7k, it's not as bad, and you can get higher PP by playing 7k.

If you don't care about PP, there's still a good reason to play other key modes. They're a lot of fun, even if they take a while to learn. The kinds of patterns you will see in 7k maps, for example, are very different from what you would see in 4k, and there's a lot more diversity.

Good luck, and I hope you don't chose to stick with 4k, but if you do, that's totally ok too.

It's more like, if you want to play 7k in the future learn it now alongside 4k, otherwise in the future you will be completely unmotivated to learn as your 7k skillset will be frustratingly worse than 4k.

OK so to everyone to saying do 7k as well as 4k is a no go for me. Soley because I'm nowhere near able enough. Even with practise. But pp isn't that important for me. It's really only for my osu standard skills :p

If you're just playing for STD skills, 4K is what you want, because you're not going to have to do complex chords or ladders with two fingers (7K patterns). Trills and jacks, not to mention general speed, will help you, as well as other common 4K patterns.

I mean if your just playing Mania to improve your tapping for standard than might as well just play Taiko as it's 4 keys just like Mania but is more similar to the way you'd play standard streams

unless you play ddkk the only thing taiko would help you with is singletapping
