Is there a way to improve your spinners? I'm getting tired of getting 50's or just using spun-out :o

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.?

Stop playing easy crazy maps. Made this list a while ago, all the hard maps I could think of.

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.

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

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.
sayonara_sekai
nvm just tilting L0L. (I still suck at spinning though)
Everwhite
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 ^^
Zare
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.
MusclesJohnny
just get to know your beatmaps better by playing more. that's the only way for me to get better...
Kasiansan
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.
SushiBottle
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.
Chesukin
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).

Focus on the combo # instead of just the circles as a whole and aim for them.

I don't think I understand. If I focus on the combo number then I fail instantly from missing everything?

Also a good example is level 1 of this- https://osu.ppy.sh/b/287979&m=0

I've passed it about 40 times, but I still fail after every 2-3 passes. I can only manage up to level 3 of this map.
Vuelo Eluko
why do you fail instantly? its exactly like you're aiming at the circles but instead of reading the notes by the outline of the circle read them by the combo # so you aim at those instead.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to the combo counter in the corner as opposed to the circle numbers. I'll give it a try when I can, thanks!

Edit: Focusing on the numbers does seem to help aim a bit, but accuracy seems to plummet, since I rely about 80% on the approach circles making me fail from low accuracy.

Then would it be better to focus on the numbers while paying attention to approach circles, or just learn to play by the music?
piruchan
I've been playing some old(pre 2011) AR 8 insane diffs lately and most of them are CS 5. Then I tried to play some newer AR 8/AR 9 insane with CS 4 and experiencing a sudden boost in aim. Is this related? And is there any long term benefits of playing old maps? Somehow I started to like them....
Vuelo Eluko
theyre good for aim & reading because of AR and CS... then throw speed into the mix and you're as balanced of a player as wubwoofwolf enjoy being top 100
piruchan
No way I'm going to be top 100 XD. My target is 4 digits at the moment.

Well, I guess it's time to schedule my James training add old maps to my training.
sadpwner
Can you address rapid short sliders? They are short sliders that generally occur 3-5 times in a row and can sometimes be jumps or streams.

example beatmaps:

since osuTP is RIP. I'm gonna semi-necro the thread. Does anyone have difficult CS3 Maps. I'm Rank 23K and anything between 4 Star to Extra on CS3 would be cool to find.
Raven no Aiming
My accuracy now is quite good so i'm trying to raise my tapping speed and stamina but it seens like i'm stuck and can't go faster than 210bpm. Does anyone experience this problem before ? Thank you in advance :)
HaLD08
Raven: I've encountered the same problem (and still do). I would guess the basic typical reply applies here too: practice more (at least it's working for me since I went from being at my limit at 190 to being able to tap 240 bpm fairly easily). Just practice on the highest bpm you can and slowly build up more speed and endurance

I have a question about triples. I usually do triples as zxz every time, but I use x as my main single tapping key. Every high rank person I've seen starts and ends triples on their single tapping key, and I was wondering is it faster/more accurate than how I do triples?
