Not sure if there's a thread about this yet, no really specific keywords I can use to search.

Yup sometimes your combo always seems to break at that exact same spot.
Or maybe you keep failing because you can't get the pattern right.
What do you do in these situations

come back to it after you've improved

or just keep playing

edit: this should go in gameplay and rankings

Try until I succeed
Swearing if I miss at the same place too many times
Come back to the map when I've improved
Also sometimes I just press alt-f4 twice

It depends on the map. For maps I hate, I just go "fuck it this map sucks anyway", play another diff, rate 1 if I'm really angry or if I think the map shouldn't have been ranked, then play something else.

I always have a variety of maps of which I both really like and are just out of reach. I play each a lot and switch it up when I get frustrated.

I love that feeling of mastery when returning to a map I couldn't fc, and then SS it

I'd say, leave it for now and come back later when I improved. The very first map I played (Hartmann's Youkai Girl on easy) was like that, which pretty much discouraged me from playing osu! (thankfully, not enough to prevent me from trying out more beatmaps, which were easier and got me into it). Just now, I finally passed it.

spunout + nofail + double time to see how that works out, then move on
or
get better, try again later.

Try it again later in multiplayer (I do better when up against someone osu! should have ghosts for single player) or switch btwn modes. If it's really annoying I'll leave the map alone for a couple of months.

After a maximum of 10 retries, I'm out. I know , as a fact, that I definitely won't fc/pass/better my best score after 10 retries, I usually give up and return later.

if it's a beatmap that I like but there's just a part that's like "wtf is going on?!" I'll turn on auto + double time to see how the rhythm is.
Or (lol is this cheating?) I'll go into the editor, go just before the the part that I don't know, and play it until I can do it (if I mess up, I can retry and it'll bring me to the part just before the hard section).

if i can't fc a map, i will think that means i don't have enough skill to fc this map, therefore, i will forget it temporarily and play other maps first. when i have enough skills, i will be back to fc it:)

It must be a pretty bad map if I can't FC first play. Keep playing, rate 1.

Really, though...
I just play another map if I fail, keep playing the map, or hit retry depending on how stupid the miss in question is.

Depends, if it's a map i KNOW i can do .. or one of those i did like perfect the first time and got a lag and missed cause of that i'll rage a lot and keep playing till i fc it, i don't like to fail at things .. but if it's a map i can't do from the very beginning i'll play it once a day or so till i get better.

depends on map. Usually maps I think are fun I spend a good amount of time trying to FC. If it's something I hate, I just come back later (or never)

Depends on the map (no, not really though) and the time (between morning and evening).

If I D'ed a diff, I'll try to C it, but if it's too hard, I'll play another song with similar level. If I C'ed it, I'll try to B it. If I B'ed it, I'll try to A it. If I A'ed it, I'll try to S it, but if it takes too long I'll go on another song.

But I sometimes go beast in the morning, no matter what map it is (as long as it's not too far from my current skill). Lol. xD

Agree. Or, in my opinion, I just play it again, and again, and again, and if bored and too lazy, I'mma leave the map and be back to it later.
If I still can't after a few days/weeks/months, screw the map.

Play it everyday and gradually beating my old scores until I get an fc. Otherwise, "Forget about it for now and come back after a random period of time."

Since I get really annoyed if I hear a song over & over I just play it some other time after getting it out of my head.
