I'm pretty sure I found it when Ekoro posted on his Doremy YouTube channel stating he plays osu! and linked his Ekoro YouTube account to that post.
4 months later i decided to start clicking circles lol

When I was little I was scrolling on you tube and this video came up in my recommended it was called “Chinese weeaboo plays Osu!dance ylyl and little me loved watching it so a couple years later I get a pc and the first thing I get was osu

i dont know i just was like one day, "HMMMMM why what is this osu thing im thinking of" i never saw anything about osu

a friend recommended me

Hello

It was in 2015 on a DeoLynk vid' but I didn't enjoy the game (I didn't created an account)

But in the end of 2017 (in november), I have seen the game on a vid' of Joyca. I decide to create my account and I have played the game !

Nice day everyone

I played Friday Night Funkin and wanted to play some more rhythm games. Then I remembered this game called osu! my friend showed me like 6 years ago that I had fun playing.

My first introduction was when some people were playing it at my friend's party some 12 years ago. I played it for a few minutes and didn't like it much nor did I have any appreciation for rhythm games in general (oof)

But I started playing arcade rhythm games about 4 years ago and became really good with them, then COVID hit — and about a month ago one of my friends asked me to play Osu with her and I've been hooked on it since.

Sometimes I wonder where I'd be with Osu if I'd given it more than a half-assed glance at that party.

I think I googled "anime rhythm games" or something along those lines.
.. this was 12 years ago so the earliest thing I can remember about osu is playing 'Bad Apple' and 'U.N. Owen Was Her?'

I found it through a friend and I seen a few YouTube videos of people playing it.

One night, I was going threw a dark bamboo forest and suddenly I saw a piece of bamboo glowing, I was scared and frightened. But I feel like the bamboo is attracting me with his power. I slowly and steadily start moving toward the glowing bamboo. After reaching to the bamboo my hand automatically punched the bamboo and break it, inside the bamboo there wassssss Call of Dutyyyyyyy. But my pc is weak and can't run it so instead of cod I start playing osu

I play rhythm games already since my childhood but the first thing that got me interested in osu is rrtuyi's the big black run showing up in my recommendations back then ig


good times

i was marathon all pewdiepie vid and found this game

from a Youtuber, i dont remember which one but yeah

The story is pretty complex. I know most of you will not believe it and that's fine


It was late at night, I was doing overtime at my job and since my work was complete I started heading toward my home. I was pretty tired. On the way home I saw a bar and since I was tired I decided to enter. I sit down and ask for a drink. Near me there was a another person sitting beside me. We ordered the same drink and which start a conversation between us, going from drinks convo he started talking about games
The convo goes like that

Unknown: I like to play rhythm games in my free time.
Manish: I love games too. I also wanted to create a game someday
Unknown: I am a game developer, I am working on a rhythm game named Osu!. You should try
Manish: I will pass, since I don't have much time because of works and I also don't like rhythm games, it's late I gotta go home, ohh wait we didn't introduced ourself. My name is Manish, nice to meet you
Unknown: I forgot about introduction. My name is peppy, nice to meet you too
Manish: cya maybe we will meet again in future
Peppy: cya

After the long ass convo I leave the bar and start heading toward home, though.. The feeling in the area changed, I started to feel cold and like someone is following me. I thought I drink too much alcohol. I was scared I started walking faster and suddenly I hear something scary, ting ting ting ting... Ohh it was my phone, again I hear a footstep. I started sprinting toward my house and finally I reached it, the house feel wayy far compare to normal days. I took a bath and went to sleep, in my dream there was a unknown shadow which grabing my neck tightly and repeatedly saying, play the game play the game Or else you die or else you die. In the fear I installed osu and whenever I don't play I see the dream at night.

Friends

a

Saw a random guy play it around 2016 and I thought to myself ah that probably costs money. I then saw it was free all the way in june 2020 lmao.

a friend I kept in touch with from Minecraft for a while

My friends told me about it

some cat show on my youtube homepage, i click the video, and i accidentally click the circle

A FNF friend of mine from Roblox who I no longer see recommended me to play osu!mania.

Watching this and tried to beat him

youtube

.

i believe it was 2012 when i saw my first video of osu. this was before i had my own computer, as i was a little kid, and i couldnt download anything on my parents home computer because "itll slow it down". since the first moment i saw this game, i was instantly fascinated, i thought anyone who played osu was just so incredible. i kept watching osu videos and kept the game in the back of my mind until i finally got my own laptop one christmas. osu was the very first thing i downloaded on it, after getting google chrome obviously. i absolutely loved it, i loved the idea of how every single player starts at the very bottom, unlike shooters where prior game experience transfers over or people just have a general higher baseline to start from. osu is the one true game where you only get out what you put into it, if you want to get good then you just have to grind, theres no "top 10 trips and tricks" like in csgo, valorant, or other games like that. i loved it, and i still love it many years later even after ive built myself a $3000 PC, it is practically the only game i still play!

I've known about Osu! for years. But I didn't decide to play it until last year.

I saw people playing it on tiktok and it seemed interesting.I also saw a few videos on youtube too and decided i wanted to get it and here I am still playing.

3 years back I guess, I was obsessed with call of duty but the problem was my aim was horrible, I googled for best aim trainer and... Fortunately and luckily I discovered Osu!

I'm still thankful that I searched for it ^_^

but also throwing my mouse became more ofte...

i saw this game on a youtube video, and wanted to try it so badly. but back then i didn't know how to download osu on my mac so i had to play on my windows 7 computer that was at least 10 years old (im surprised it was even able to handle osu)

My first experience discovering osu is when i saw a WWW (wubwoofwolf)'s playing scarlet rose and when i watched this video and get curious and in the same time impressed because that game in that year are recently and no one (including me) didn't really know how to play, at least most players back then who played

Looking at it now, this play was not one of the "best things", but for those who were discovering the world of rhythm games at the time, as is the case with other famous plays, such as Nico Nico Douga also from the WWW, or the so acclaimed back then: The Big Black or maybe also the Centipede.

well i was doing stuff and thought hey why not play osu! because why not lets try it and it was cool

I knew that osu existed for years since I occasionally see osu-related content every now and then on YouTube while just passing through. I did even watch some every now and then, but I never actually properly tried it until a few months ago.

idk...maybe becuz of pewdiepie playing osu! or maybe becuz someone on discord convinced me to play osu! idk...but I like osu! so far

Don’t remember exactly how I discovered it, but from what I recalled I was looking up the opening for some random anime(I think it was Dragon Maid idk) then just saw someone playing the osu beatmap for said anime opening. Thought it was interesting so I tried it out, and here we are today.

I once discover osu on the mobile phone and i ws decided to watch some on youtube. Firstly, i played opsu, the open-source client of osu in Android, and now i did discover osu by downloading osu on my father's laptop (which is mine today).

I saw a osu mania video and when I downloaded the game I completely forgot what I was here for and just got addicted to standard

Btmc's video about the funny cock slider map got on my yt recommend

I think I found it off YouTube a year ago, I don't know the channel I saw it on though.

i think i got it on a youtube and searched up "osu!" on my moms phone and started playing opsu! on my moms phone, i got my chromebook and played opsu! on a mouse then used my moms laptop to play osu!

i found it from sillyfangirl osu my first mode was mania for like 2 weeks then i tried standard and stuck to it

my sister was friends with this dude from mexico who played osu!
he was pretty cool so I was inspired by him to play

flyingtuna playing eyes half closed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M82oqy3Riqc&ab_channel=CirclePeople

from that one wave of osu tiktok videos that went around during august-ish 2020

I was very bored one day that I decided to watch a random stream on Facebook (which I don't really do).
I watched the dude play whatever he's playing and got curious on what the game he was playing.
So I decided to ask what the game was, downloaded osu! and the rest is history lol.

-

my cousin showed me the game and he showed me how to play i downloaded it 2 months later
and didnt stop playing lmao

As far as I'm aware, I saw a video from wither KoiFishu or tokaku.

Well I just kinda knew osu existed from like 2018 and I never really looked at it until like 6 days ago. Previously I had
Installed osu on a work computer
In one of the rooms in my house
And from then on I just logged on
Everyday. So yeah that’s my experience with osu and I also got mobile lol. Btw I drew my on avatar.

i was on youtube then i saw a Zylice video and i was interested so i downloaded it

i actually discovered it TWICE, first time was when i saw a video by the fortnite dude myth saying it was his "warmup" in 2017. second time was when i was in a discord call with avrc (vrchat) friend and he introduced me to osu, and that's also when i actually tried playing it. now he's stopped playing decayed to roughly ~600k-700k but im 166k rn so yay.
