Insanes at 10k plays is decent, don't worry
Also, the fact that you played songs you couldn't beat with nofail is actually the smartest thing you can do to improve. Most people think they have to play songs they can pass to improve but really playing what you can't or can barely pass is the best way to move forward.

How long did it take you to pass Insane songs?

passed my first insane song? i dont even remember, but i can say that i was passing them regularly with atleast a B rank by 4-6k~
We're talking about different things. JAKACHAN is talking about improving in aim and speed, and I'm talking about improving solely on accuracy.iderekmc wrote:

i think after around 3k plays i started passing insanes regularly. I fc slower ones easily now, and complete harder ones with ease 90%+ most of the time.
Wow 
I feel kinda bad I have almost 9k plays and still I get mostly B/C ratings on insanes, I even have d ratings on some streamy maps(I stream like shit on some maps getting only 50/100s =s) And there are still alot of harder insanes i cant pas even after 50+ plays on the map^^

Actually playing mainly to improve after getting a tablet had me able to SS and S insane maps in 2 months (i'm lazy as fuck though and not nearly as committed as all these kids playing), and buying the black widow keyboard has me able to stream really well after a few months (and even stream kinda fast, not that fast though).
I lose skill rapidly if i don't keep playing. It's really annoying.
key for success: Play with a tablet for 5 hours or so once you get it, instantly use a big area (look at like M A I D's profile to see for example) play easy maps whatever you gotta do to get used to it. Once you do just start doing insanes/hards, your skill will increase super rapidly.
Main thing I noticed when I got a tablet is that I was instantly really good at spinning (430-460+).
The effort required to play with a tablet is like 1/15th of a mouse. And I love using the mouse, i play all kinds of fps games, good aim good reactions etc, always a top player in whatever game but osu! is just perfect for a pen tablet.
TLDR: buy a tablet if you like this game and don't have the irrational tablet hating mentality because you can't afford one. orz
Tablet area is highly relative to each players preference. I started with a small area but my friend made me change to full area because he said I'd play better. I was struggling with jumps for many months until I decided to try my original tiny area and bam after 4 hours of practice I went from having trouble fcing nomod insanes to fcing insanes with hdhr (which I had never done before that, ever).
I think niko gave the advise that you should pick the area you feel comfortable with reached the ends of the screen with.
Stop playing maps you can get a good score on and play maps that you can barely pass. You'll improve loads in no time.tomden wrote:
Wow
After 1800 plays I'm able to pass easy insane Maps. Like this http://osu.ppy.sh/s/44132 or this http://osu.ppy.sh/s/43698
After 11k plays I could FC insane maps without doing much. What I do is play maps slightly harder than my level. This way I slowly progress up. Jumping right into really insane songs with no fail would just make me panic and go around smashing my keyboard which isn't a good habit or thing to have when playing Osu. I'd turn on half time if it's too fast.
Hmm... About 800+ plays or so for me, I started being able to do easier insanes, how 'easy' they are exactly... Now at 1.2k plays, I play mostly insanes only, can't pass the ar9 hard ones etc, but I've been doing decently on quite a few ar8's. Hoping to pass maps like Wahrheit by 2k-2.5k plays!
Also was when I switched off mouse accel, turned it to 6/11 and put 1.7x on Osu.
(I don't get how people play with 1.0x, it just doesn't sync with me, I feel most comfortable on 1.7x)

(I don't get how people play with 1.0x, it just doesn't sync with me, I feel most comfortable on 1.7x)About 2500 plays before I can do most insanes, though not the really hard ones (like in the World Cup).
At 2500 plays with the mouse I was doing hard songs no problem but insanes were a bit hard. Then I bought the tablet, and 20 plays later I was doing insanes without problem.

If you really try and practice every day, you can complete some Insane maps in rank 60K, that's like the minimum rank I guess...hehe
Easy: Skipped
Normals: Starter, HR before going into hards
Hards: A bit over three weeks since starter
Easy insanes: Week or two later so 4-5 weeks since starter
AR9 insanes: 6 weeks
Can't remember the ranks, started doing video collection since starting this game though i played about 200 plays in 2011 but it was like starting all fresh.

1 month of playing, 3700 playcount and the best i can do atm is fc this song:
http://osu.ppy.sh/b/86324&m=0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrCcFqI3-2k (Footage of song not actually by me, credit goes to the maker)
Mostly get b's and c's but the occasional a's if i practise the beatmaps hard enough.
Also, i found osu sorta my reaction time in cricket as well, and im able to react more quickly to fast bowlers.

After my first 24 hours of playing I was able to pass hards, then after about 2 weeks or so I was able to pass insanes. Getting past the SUPER hard songs like Scarlet Rose / Freedom Dive takes a long time.
Just have fun playing and take your time!

He hasn't fc'd it, I just checked >.>
Lying on the forum is cool

Like a month and a half after I started playing.

Il do it again on online i promise
Also what do you mean by theres no way i can fc that song? Its not even that fast. Ive seen plenty of people fc songs harder than that with less playcount.

started easy insanes around 3k plays
i can't even fc that map
I still havent FC that map.
I think by "FCing" it I think he means passing it, or just flat out lying.
Aside from that, I first started insanes around 5k-7.5k plays and I believe I first FC of an insane was this beatmap first or second try,https://osu.ppy.sh/s/71561 on accident around 10k plays at 70k rank before PPv2.
I had no idea how I FC'd it, I was just planning on raising my combo from 300x to whatever that's higher, then I ended up with a 986x with an S rank. From present perspective the beatmap is really easy and I could do it again with a higher % or hidden, but back then I was amazed at myself and watched my replay ten times.

OT: Probably around 5-10k plays is when I started playing them, only started FCing them with decent accuracy near the end of 2013, so probably 13-15k ish.
NotCookie_old
~3.75K Plays for me was about when I started to pass Insanes
That doesn't mean that I'm great at them (Actual Shit Tier Player here. Woo!), to get good at them takes a bunch more plays

How about going to your local rankings, clicking the score, saving the replay and puushing it here?vsprite wrote:

About a month and a half, I think the only song I have fc If I even have is " look at my horse" LOL

It only took close to 2 months before I could start playing AR9 Insanes. I don't see why people find AR9 so hard if it doesn't take much time at all to get comfortable with.
On a more "you" note: You're doing fine in terms of improvement and should be able to continue to improve at a healthy rate(hopefully). Don't hit the brick wall of stop-that-improvement-this-instant.

1-2 months, ~4000 plays to pass. I used to play a lot of songs a lot with nofail, stuff I could read/hit to some extent without randomly spamming (65+acc or something). I started fcing some easier insanes 3 months, ~7000 plays in.
