I wish I had the same issue as you. Right now aiming is my biggest issue, making my accuracy for Hards and Insanes almost identical. The only difference is if my aim fails me then I fail the Insane.

When I say aim, I don't mean for jumps... It also refers to missing sliders and singles at completely random spots.

As a player, I feel like I'm okay a jumps.
However, certain maps really boggle me as to why I miss certain notes: My cursor is on the note and I feel like I'm tapping at the right time, yet it still results in a miss.

This isn't me, but it seems this person has a similar problem (I had massive issues with this map as well): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXae-RCIjcQ
0:22, 1:00, 1:10, 1:40, 1:56, and 2:32 for the misses.

As this was posted in r/osugame, one of the commenters had suggested that the player (and in all likelihood, me as well), was "predicting and moving the cursor away before you actually hit the note."

This would explain a number of issues I have, especially my confusion of why maps like Koigikoro and Colorful Minutes were difficult for me as well as why playing maps repeatedly resulted in anomalous misses.

So my question is: Is this the problem that he (and I) has? If so, why would you recommend that I could do to remedy it? Thanks.

What you described sounds similar to something I experienced a few times. I think trying to play this kind of track with just your mouse could help you confirm the issue (if it's the same as mine).

I recall having a harder time doing jumps such as the ones on Airman when I switched from mouse only to keyboard + mouse. Mouse only made it easier to coordinate both clicking and moving because I would "lock" my hand on each note until I actually clicked the mouse. Now, working on fast singles has indirectly helped me deal with this issue. I started moving my wrist more and having more rhythm control when I single tap, so it's significantly easier to lock my right hand when I tap when I also move my wrist.

EDIT: I've just played this song and it doesn't seem hard to coordinate. There aren't any difficult jumps either and it's not fast paced. Trying to move your wrist too much like I described would probably feel weird, so don't worry about that with this beatmap. I still think working on fast singles could help you (especially since they have jumps like these too). But honeslty, now that I think about, it seems like a snapping issue more than tapping... poor snapping could definitely affect how early you try to hit the next note on this beatmap. Not being able to read the song comfortably could also affect your performance, but I guess that's a given.

Add this to accuracy as an easy way to practice: If you have really bad accuracy then just try to really look at the approach circles and really try to get acc that is above 97%, increase this minimum accuracy once you get better at it, capping out at 99%. Going for SS is useless for your general accuracy if you use a billion tries for it, so it's not worth the effort. Eventually something will click into place and accuracy will get easier.
Thanks to thelewa, my accuracy is improving.

@TryHardPenguin
I agree, it's probably a reading issue. I don't know if it will help, but try playing the song without sound (forces you to read rather than listen to the beat).

It's not a reading issue.

Unless you're implying that the AR is too low, the song itself is AR8, where I can read AR9 comfortably and even AR10 is becoming less daunting. Also, this problem persists on higher AR maps as well, maybe not quite to the same degree though.

I tried turning off the sound, it seemed to work at first, albeit with a huge number of 100s, but I still broke on some easy parts. I played it with sound after that and found that the difference between the two was basically non-existent.

I'm not looking for advice on this map in particular, this just happened to be the map someone else had uploaded a video of the same problem as I had. I think the map is pretty easy, in theory. However, whenever I try to play it, I always get these seemingly inexplicable misses that I wish to address.

To be honest, the idea that I am "predicting and moving the cursor away before you actually hit the note" seems the most plausible to me. Snapping seems like a possible remedy for the issue, but I feel like I'm already doing it fairly well. I'll keep practicing it, I guess.

If anyone wishes to offer any other possible methods or reasons for my problem, please do. Any help would be appreciated!

As a side note, I could easily fc both Koigokoro insanes, but I get misses on completely random parts. The map doesn't even have hard jumps, and it's also a pretty slow map. I think it could be because it's too slow, and practicing other slow maps before trying to fc Koigokoro might help. I don't know though.

When you do the stars, do you see stars or 5 jumps? If you see stars rather than individual jumps, then you should look at the Why you aren't improving at Osu! "HOW DO I GET BETTER?!?!"" thread. It has a nice explanation there.

Honestly, try experimenting with where you are looking when you play the song. There are some songs such as http://osu.ppy.sh/b/139065 that should be very easy not to miss on but have somewhat similar pattern make-up. Take in consideration where you are focusing when you do maps like this. Try to transfer that visual focus to harder maps.

I shouldn't really talk, since I'm worse than you, but just sharing learning experiences. ;)

When I say reading, it's not only being able to understand patterns or follow them. Sometimes you can understand a pattern, but the pace at which your eyes follow it could be better. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean you need to stare at every single note during jumps. But I believe reading can help you because the more "comfortable" it is for your eyes to follow the beatmap, the easier it becomes. In other words, if we could make your current skill level the same, but give you the eyes of a player with 1-2 years more experience, it would affect your performance on that beatmap imo, even if you can already read it.

To be honest, I think your best call is to just play similar maps with lots of jumps. This will make your eyes better at reading jumps and improve your muscle memory. When it comes to muscle memory though, I believe it's important to focus on snapping notes properly in your case. You need to develop the ability to move your cursor quickly and confidently, without slowing down or second guessing your ability to hit the desired notes. Snapping will also improve your abiliity to get longer combos, which is really nice and something you seem to have problems with.

I see, that makes sense. I'll definitely take your advice though, thanks for your time!

@DustyFfy
Haha, any and all help is appreciated, really! I've been having problems with the star jumps like the ones in Wahrheit, so I'll look into it. Thanks.

Too bad there's no real reason to play low AR since. It will just become a "look I can play all AR's" (look at me!) feeling, if you do accomplish it.

Practically everyone can play low AR, while not everyone can play high AR. The mods are there to increase the difficulty, otherwise it is a battle of the SS's. Although getting less than an SS is not a true reflection of your rhythm accuracy either, neither is an SS.

The people who can only play high AR chose to do so because of the competitive nature of the game. If the scoring system were different, they would know both... because it's at a point where every map needs to be played at AR9.6+ to get a rank.

The "pro level" (ugh) is the point where osu! stops being a rhythm game. Until then it's a rhythm game. To be the best from there onwards, it's all about improving your [reading/aim/speed] and [reactions/anticipation/memorisation]. But you need a decent amount of skill in rhythm first. It's just that those other skills will improve much much more, and rhythm takes the back seat. If you get worse accuracy on really hard maps, it's not exclusively because your accuracy/rhythm sucks, it's because those other skills suck, and naturally affect it.

Learning low AR will toss out the second skill bracket, and place new rules on the first one, which naturally changes all aspects of/and puts more weight on reading, putting the handbrakes on your aim and speed. It is actually quite a huge change and this is why, in other rhythm games, AR is customisable and players usually settle on 1 speed or a small range of speeds, forever. In osu!, that is currently AR9 - AR10.3, forced on you by the game for rankwhoring reasons.

So before you think about learning the "lesser skills" - ask yourself... Dafuq am I doing this for?
Is this saying you should never learn low AR? I can play almost all insane maps but fail every normal map pretty much because low AR is hell.

What should I do if most of my accuracies are way lower than that then? I don't think I can get 97% on anything that's not going to bore me to death at this point.

I think your question is kind of silly to be totally honest - it sounds like the kinda question people ask when they don't want to practice -, but I'll answer it anyway. If your accuracy is really bad, I'd say try several hards that have comfortable AR. I think avoiding maps that are weird by today's standards is a good idea too. If the offset doesn't feel right, don't blame yourself much and go play something else. The maps you play should be relatively easy to read/follow. You're starting out, so there's no point in working on your accuracy on maps that have difficult jumps, patterns, crazy sliders, etc. You don't have to get 97% right away, just work your way up until you start feeling the beat properly. Then, it will become much more natural to hit notes at the right time.

I have a huge problem. I almost fc'ed around 6 or 7 different maps, but I can't get close to the max score I had on that map anymore, so I just stop playing them. It's slightly frustrating. My top ranks are slowly being filled by A's.
And the more I play them, the more random fails I get, which is another reason why I'm not even trying to fc long maps. Is there anything I could do about that?

So I've been playing no mod on all sorts of maps for a long time now and I noticed I'm running out of difficult maps to play.

What exactly should I do now that I'm beating stuff like Scarlet Rose, boot, Noushou Sakuretsu Girl, etc.?

Thank you! I was sort wondering what people played after beating the maps I was doing. Good to know I'm not good at all, haha.

"Practice!", They said.

"You'll eventually get better!", They said.

Any advice for spinners? I can't seem to get them down. After watching my replays I notice that instead of moving in circles quickly, I just move the mouse left and right.

force yourself to draw circles, slowly, then draw the same circles but faster
and practice a lot of course

I don't understand how people play so much. My mouse hand is usually useless after playing 50 songs... not necessarily even finishing the songs.

If you play enough, eventually stamina kicks in. At least that's what they say.

Thanks for looking at this thread before creating an own thread asking the same questions over and over - middleagedfaq (since I'm anything but an oldfaq but i'm not new and lah)

I feel like I'm not improving at all in terms of accuracy. It kinda sucks. My unstable rate is pretty much the same as when I just started, and it's pretty shit. Like 300-400 lol.

I've been playing computer games since I was 4, my hands don't get tired ever, they just freeze up because I push them harder than they will go consistently.

They key is to relax your hand, if you tense up it stresses your hands and hurts performance. The best thing to do is to do easy maps and get confident and just take everything super easy.
In Osu confidence and lack of caring is the best way to play.

tl;dr Just play for fun.

Thanks a lot! I found this really helpful ~
I've been having lots of trouble with tornado jumps and I didn't realize there was an actual method of looking at the note sequences a certain way
Interesting ^^

tbh I'd say most of the "reading techniques" aren't actually helping, but cause more of a placebo effect. In the end it just comes down to realizing what you're doing and practicing that.

just get to know your beatmaps better by playing more. that's the only way for me to get better...

Also for accuracy/ aim

Its important when playing a song that you hit directly in the middle of the note.

The better you get at doing that the easier it will be come, and it will help for high bpm jump maps as well as accuracy.

The only tip I can give that helps me. Is to look at maps i did well in, re - watch them and see if I hit the note in the middle or if i was off center a bit.
If I was off center I would re play the song maybe 2 times and watch again then move on to a different song.

Oh my god. Are you jesus??? (I'm sure people have said this one already :P )

The jumps thread helped a lot. I was constantly tensing up while doing jumps and so I'd miss a lot of notes, even in patterns with very small object distances. I still get really nervous when I'm close to an FC but that tip about relaxing the arm is pretty damn accurate.

How do I practice consistency? Sometimes I end up doing crazy jumps, but sometimes, in the same map, with the exact same pattern, I manage to not hit any. I also constantly randomly miss, but I suspect that its because I played fast hard maps way before my accuracy was ready.

That's usually a sign that you're not reading each individual circles, but relying too much on muscle memories instead. Your cursor either didn't target in on the circle, or you already moved away from the spot when you click.

Try reading out every circle on an easier map and work your way back up.

Any tips for practicing aim?

Most of the maps I try to play for aim I consistently fail, I get a bit further, then I fall back and start failing at the beginning of the song again.

I have a lot more, but I usually see little to no improvement in my aim, often failing many of the songs that I have already passed multiple times. (Due to my mouse being a bit off on a triplet, or missing a few fast singles).
