Like everyone said, just play a lot and try to S a map that you couldn't do before
Pretty sure he talks about timeline more like about a musical term, any song consists of beats (which are represented as circles in osu) and has it's own beats per minute count (BPM). Lets say we have 120 BPM song. 120/60=2 beats per second. These beats are 1\1 on the timeline, if we insert one beat between each 1\1 beats we will get 1\2 beats which will be 2 beats per 0.5 seconds on the timeline, 1\4 will be 2 beats per 0.25 sec and etc.Fazy wrote:
Aqo, what is this timeline you are talking about? I already played few times and I read the basic guidelanes, however I fail to see any timelane in my Osu. Thanks for answer.
Normal beatmaps are slow and boring.I'm not sure that they can improve my skill. +I can pass some hard beatmaps(It looks awful, but i can).Aqo wrote:
2. Don't start playing Hards yet. You're not prepared for it. Ignore the people that told you to retry hards a million times, they probably didn't see your current level. Doing so will not help you learn anything at all right now; Right now you have trouble reading timings of hits on a map - you can't tell where is a 1/4 spacing, a 1/2 spacing or a 1/1 spacing (on timeline). Keep playing normals with HardRock but without other mods until you can get 95% accuracy or higher on every Normal you play every time you play it. Also, focus on playing many different maps instead of re-playing the same one map. This will make your reading improve the fastest.
Agree, go play some hard or even insane map which is really fun at faster and more intense pace, even some which you barely can pass or getting B or C. You might want to play it again and again because the song is exciting and fun.~CXu wrote:
How a lot of people get better at this game: play.
No but really, instead of thinking about how to improve, and getting frustrated about "not improving" (you probably got better without realising), just play whatever is fun. And suddenly you notice tha this superhard map is now supereasy.

I have literally been playing for 2 months. I know I'm not some beast pro, but I can FC more and more insane maps every day, and I can pass a ton of insanes.silmarilen wrote:

So cruel. I'm not posting those things out of my ass, I brought over 20 people into osu and I follow their improvement and recommend them maps and stuff, and I get to see what kind of playstyles make people improve faster than others or slower. I see people who learn to clear Hards easily in just 2-3 weeks from the point they started playing, with zero previous rhythm game experience, by just having good play habits, and others that get stuck on normals without improving for really long - and the pattern for how they play is always the same.boat wrote:

I use default sens with 400dpi and i can play insanesYodaSnipe wrote:
1.0x sens, low dpi, tryhard
GL!
Pretty much this. That's how I improved going from normal and hard. Also, using the Half time mod on hard and insane difficulties helps as well.TheVileOne wrote:
Here's my tip. Play multiplayer servers a lot. You'll get a lot of different songs, but you have no control over the difficulty level being played, can't restart etc, and also don't have to restart when you fail. It's really good practice.
This is where I spent my first year on osu!BeatofIke wrote:

Yeah I know that feel, OP I suggest never taking a break.Unkind wrote:

taking breaks every now and then is really helpful if you make sure you play sufficiently between themSorun wrote:

I took a 4 month or so break, when I got back on osu! it felt like my first time playing all over it again.kriers wrote:

Haha but yeah OP it should be fine as long as you get a few plays in every now and then while on a break.

Toco: if a map feels boring to you, it means you're playing it only to pass it - which is why you're not learning to read maps correctly.
You need a different goal while playing. Instead of thinking "I just want to pass this map", try thinking "I want an SS". i.e. aim to 100% accuracy every run.
If you try doing this, you'll have to think about things differently, and even low level maps would become very fun.
Note: if you suddenly get a 100, don't just quit. Your accuracy will drop below 100% and 100% will no longer be possible, but keep aiming to be as close to 100% as still possible in the rest of the run. The point is - try to hit everything for a 300. This will teach you to read maps correctly.
If you're not actively trying to read the map correctly, you'll be stuck just mashing keys "more or less" by when and where, and this will prevent you from improving to higher levels.
