I actually play a private server on "Dragonica aka Dragon saga" then I meet someone post a music about this game like two three time I was like is that a music? Or a game (He did post cookiezi TU4R score and matzcore I still remember..) then I was curious and I wanted to try the game and I really liked it.. but obviously I get tortured by a lot of insane impossible map for me at this time.
Now I don't even remember his name at all.. sadly..

When i was horribly young, one time my older sister met up with some of her friends, and i guess one of them brought a large iPad which contained osu!stream (when that still existed). I remember watching them play being intrigued by the circles and sliders. I even got a shot at it once. Much later, we got it on our family iPod touch and i'd play it a lot if i had the chance.

To summarize, i eventually moved on to osu!droid (when that existed too). Then i forgot about the game for several years until i ran into an osu! video in my recommendations on youtube. I had my first personal laptop by then, so i decided to give osu! on a computer a shot, which brings me here. :p

tl;dr I was first introduced to osu!stream

A video called "When we were new to Osu!" from "Miraie" appeared on my recommended videos back in 2017. I watched it and decided to give the game a try. Here I am 2 years later and still going strong.
Yellooooooow

I first learned about osu back in 2014. Some guys and I were working CQ at tech school, and one guy pulled it out on his tablet (phone?) and was showing it to us. I thought it was pretty cool, but I never thought of it again.

Fast forward to 2018, and my brother is starting to get into it. I've watched him play a few times and it's really fascinating to me. So he finally convinces me to make an account and install it this past December. Well, I wasn't hooked initially. Maybe I was lost on how to start slow, maybe I just needed some songs I knew to get in the rhythm. I think I played maybe 4 maps and stopped.

Now it's the end of June, and for some reason I just felt the urge to give it another try. Now my brother and I are playing & talking about it all the time, and the rest is history. I've clocked about 25 hours so far. I've definitely improved, but it's crazy to see other people new to osu already on 4-5 star maps.

I was watching this guy who made a video about osu! his name was Ratorix and like 2-3 days after i watched the video i downloaded the game

My sister's boyfriend.

funny story: he had the skill level of a 50k player. and he introduced me to osu, and holy F***.
since that day, i never stopped playing it, it's become an addiction and a HUGE passion.

i was about 13-14 y.o i think at the time and my goal was to surpass him, in a year i surpassed him, and i kept going. eventually i reached Rank 20K and BOOM life got in the way.

Took a HUGE break. sorted my life out and now i've become much, much better. allthough i dont play for pp now. i should also mention that i've been transitionning to Mania.

so yeah that's my story. :)

i hope you have an awesome day!

I remember I saw this video and I thought it was cool so I first got the mobile version of the game because I was an idiot. After a few weeks of playing Opsu I decided to play the actual game and it felt 100x better than the mobile version. It kinda sucks that nobody I know plays Osu except for like one of my friends. All my other friends say the game is trash but what do they know they only played it for like 5 minutes.

This was the video I watched btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWU6ayRb7Js

I was an huge fan of the osu games on ds. When I found out that there was a pc version of it I signed the heck up right away. Like from day one all the way back in 2007 I was around. Did not really start playing seriously until about 3 months ago.

Also I like anime and there's lots of anime music which is cool.

I was a huge fan of league streamers and the one I used to watch in these times (2014) was boxbox, sometimes he stop playing league and switch to osu!, When I saw that game it looked really impressive to me so I downloaded the game and start to play (non seriously) and the most of times I have played I got a feel like I'm improving, all my osu sessions don't pass through 15 - 30 mins and I quit XD, so the seriously gameplay starts at 2017 - 18 where I start climbing more and more, it cost me like infinite retryes but that doesn't matter.
Today I take it like a distraction game, I want to take it seriously but my skill in-game isn't like what it was

i was a big Geometry Dash fanboy, so everything osu! related, i hate. i saw one of the community member playing osu!, so i tried it, never went back.

I was in a skype group with a few good friends, and one of them played osu! religiously. I decided to hop on with her and now I'm here

Mine is that I found the game from friends from an old old forum site where the chat is now pretty much dead

My friend recommended it to me.

2011 from an anime bootleg stream forum that had a thread about it. After quite a while of activity in it I gave it a try and here I am now, pushing my 8th year.

Had some really nice friends from there that I played multis with. Lost contact with all of them by now though, think I'm the only one that really got stuck with it.

how i discorvered osu was a bit all over the place

but to make a long story short, i found out about osu because of my friend's facebook vid

longer story:
1.i saw a vid of my friend doing pparkour
2. the song he used in said video was "dear you"
3. i liked the song so i listen to it for a few weeks
4. in the recommendations of the video, it showed an osu gameplay of the song
5. initially i played osu stream on the iphone, and i thought it was great
6. another friend at my school randomly asked if i knew of a game called osu
7. i did
8. he said to play it, so i downloaded the game and the rest is history
ik4h
was on a friend's steam profile
literally in the middle of his user page it said 'rank 30k {or something like that} on osu'
searched it up
I was bored as fuck at this point, like out of my mind, from just grinding CS:GO comp for hours straight
downloaded it
started playing it on and off
got more and more bored
was at a relatives house
played it on their PC

yeah im here now

I knew the game back at 2009 when I was still a young lad
Never really got to play reason being I didn't even have a pc back then
A few years passed I forgot about it
Then recently a friend of mine streamed it and I was like "I wanna try this game"
I've played osu! ever since

Mine is actually really simple, I was on discord and saw one of the server members playing osu! and I had heard about it when I was in the market for drawing tablets and actually bought a osu! tablet (Star g640) and id thought it would be fun to try, now I cant stop :).
saturnnnn
A friend started playing it then he got me into it. then i fell down teh rabbot hole of trying to get pp. (my freind dropped the game after 3 moths fbm.)

Well i bought my first PC in this store with a sign that said "50 USD PC's with 10 games on it" but i rlly didn't care about the games it was suppsed to be for school, one day my internet went out for like 1 week and i remembered the sign of the store so i looked for the games and osu was one of them, at first i just played the 5 songs that come with the game, mostly "chasers - lost" i fc'd the first diff with almost every mod (fun fact: at first i loved HR and hated HD, but now i can't stand playing a song with HR and i never disable HD) except for Dt because i was a noob XD, my internet came back i updated the game and played for a while and after 2 weeks i made my account

This was back when I was playing Touhou. Basically, this one kid on a Discord server was complaining about hard osu was. So I said "But is it harder than Touhou?" And they said yes. Despite not having played both games. So I decided to give it a shot. Got a little swept off my feet, and kinda used mouse buttons instead of keyboard, which sucked. But when I really got the hang of it after switching to keyboard, osu became genuinely fun and I quickly sinked a ton of hours into it.

I originally found it through searching 'how to improve aim' in games I played. Never thought Osu would be the only game i'd end up playing... no regrets.

Two words: YouTube. Recommendations.

I'm listening to OreImo OP then suddenly Hitsound

There was a guy I knew who was obsessed with Rohulk I watched one of Rohulk's vids and I downloaded it and I couldn't realize why I can't play with my keyboard.
Skip forward 1 year and another friend of mine was playing osu so I joined him and he helped me with the keyboard thingy and since then I pretty much played.
