A rewrite of the entire thread, I'll keep this brief as I did before.

I'm looking for a couple of new players for an experiment, it will be a play routine where you give 2-3 hours per day for a week and by the end of the week, should be able to S 5 star maps. As you may or may not be able to tell by reading replies, my "training guide" kicked up quite a fuss and pissed off several people. PM me or ~~reply~~ to this thread if interested, if successful, you'll be getting S's in 5 star maps by the end of the week.

Your post looks like you just wanted to show off your new #1 while appearing modest, using the "advice" to justify a new thread.

Would you like me to remove the videos? I don't feel as though I am worthy to brag at the skill level I currently reside at.
Those are just there for anyone who doubt that my method will work at all.

EDIT: And just to clarify, #1 is invalid until it has been held for a year or more, thus I do not believe I have bragging rights for it.
Sorry if the post came out looking as though I wanted to brag, I simply want to decrease the amount of spam in #osu and see people actually play.

Oh no, I just thought of it that way because the advice seemed neglected from being so short compared to your qualifications since you wanted to keep it brief.

I like to keep it brief because brief is best. What else do you want me to add to it? Recommended maps? Play everything and learn how to move in every direction as I said, would cover that. Other than that, I'm unaware of what I could possibly add that would be beneficial rather than just clutter.

You do realize removing backgrounds is cheating right?

It's like you're saying:
Wanna be good at this game?

I remember peppy saying something about the removal of beatmap elements being considered cheating in the future, but is it now already?

I don't understand, 5 star maps were never much to begin with. It really depends on what 5 star maps you play, really.
So long as it isn't those approved maps that are the equivalent to general 5 star maps with DT + HR, I fail to see why the average player shouldn't be able to S 5 star maps within the first week.

I only began doing so after I watched Cookiezi. Are you implying that hes a cheater, or was a cheater?
Go make an announcement then. Make sure that you say "Cookiezi was a cheater!"

Sorry bud, 2 hours a day or less is all I play. I never implied that you have to play 24/7, I only played 3 hours a day for the first week.
I go out everyday also, so I don't see whats up your ass.

No. It means you should be able to hold a mouse properly.

I'm enjoying the fact that all of you are ignoring the opening sentence and then getting pissed off.

Your complaints are insignificant and near meaningless, as I really only do want to help new players. I'll say this now, think what you will, but for those who want to play well have to push themselves, at the start at least. Same with everything.

I'm no pro, but here's what I'll add.

If you just started of, I wouldn't recommend going five stars straight away, start with songs you like at 3 or 4 stars first, then once you start getting the hang of everything (gameplay and interface wise) and your interest is aroused (meaning you know this game is for you and you aren't wasting your time), go 5 stars.

Then again, if you are even reading this thread it probably means you know what's going on, so just follow damiaan's advice.

Also one week of 2 hours per day I don't think is enough for 5 star S's, unless you have inborn talent or play the piano or something. Practice is key, you might disappoint a lot of people with promises like this XD.

At least this was the case for me, it took me a month to S my first 5 star diff, and I never touched the chat during my first 2 months of playing. Then again I don't use the keyboard, the learning curve might be shorter with it.

Wow, being able to S Insanes after only a week of playing the game is quite an accomplishment. It took me about 6 months to even start playing Insanes

Yeah, I kinda fell in love with osu! on first sight.
890 plays - ANANT-GARDE EYES - Angelic Break Beats [beat4you's Beats]

600 of those plays (including retries halfway through) was on the first night, from about 9pm - 3am, and was the 5 star I started on.
After that I just relaxed quite a bit and only played for the couple-few hours a day. My hand was busted.

Indeed. For me it was even longer. Damiaanzx's talent level is pretty cool.
