At the very start.. the trail of beats in a snake pattern. Anyone know what they're called?
If so, what are a good way to practice them, and any maps I can use? Thanks.
Tip: you should probably put this in the "Gameplay and Rankings" section next time as it's a much more active forum.
Those fast trails are called "streams" the speed of them varies from the bpm, I think the streams in that beatmap is 220 bpm. If you want to practice streaming than I suggest trying to get used to quickly altetnating your tapping fingers (pretty much, if you haven't already, you should use the keys Z and X on your keyboard in order to click the circles) but it'll depend how you want to go about it, most osu players only alternate when streams/tripples appear as if you are always arternating between Z and X for everything, you'll find getting good accuracy on jumps to be pretty hard.
As for beatmaps I suggest playing the follwing:
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/47757 150 bpm
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/38235 153 bpm
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/30970 155 bpm
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/114635&m=0 174 bpm
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/142239&m=0 177 bpm
https://osu.ppy.sh/b/195635&m=0 180 bpm
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/73474 120-180bpm (streams are sth like 160-180, not quite sure, but definitely not as slow as 120)
If very short "streams" (3-9) are ok too:
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/49071 180 bpm
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/49568 174 bpm, has some streams too
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/36272 180 bpm
(make sure you don't play one of the maps that's high above your skill level, for example, if you can only do 3* than try challange your self with a 3.5/4 star map if you decide to play a map to high above your difficulty level, you'll get bad mashing habits; meaning your abilty to stream faster may have improved... but your accuracy will become really bad)
