Lower dpi, zero wrist usage for up/down movement using arm/fingers (wrist for some vertical movement) to move mouse.-Chronopolis- wrote:

It sounds like you're not reading it properly. Perhaps switch to a skin that doesn't have slider ends?-Chronopolis- wrote:
(I play mouse keyboard.)
For the longest time I used some jerky motions to make the hardest jumps. They were still aimed and I had some success, but the problem was that those motions changed my wrist orientation in a way that wasn't always reversible (often downwards, with the mouse stuck against the bottom of my palm), and often I would get to this part were I couldn't aim at a certain angle any more. and angle. When it was only large jumps I would just use my forearm, but switching was hard.
Last few days I switched to a more snappy style with recoverable movements which doesn't suffer that much from my wrist getting stuck in a awkward position.
Two things mess me up though:
Slider followed with a single on the end of the slider
AND
Bunch of singles, but with some consecutive singles stacked.
Oh also sliders which are slow but you have to jump fast between. I keep getting tempted to sling my wrist a bit for that, not so good.

Spamming songs for fc just above your level raises your skill level, not spamming image material and airman 500 times a day.agubelu wrote:
The thing is I dont really care about ranking and PP, my main motivation is just self-improvement, that feeling that you get when you play a map that used to be hard and now feels like a piece of cake (also to be able to play more difficult maps b/c they are more fun imo).
Thats why I want to know your opinion about whether or not spamming >5.5 star maps to raise my skill ceiling is a wise idea.
Ranking just kinda comes naturally, I guess.
It doesn't take a month to adjust your sensitivity. If you just change your sensitivity a small amount at a time and get used to it through gameplay/general use, it shouldn't take too long. Also, jumping is more about reading than your actually ability to aim your cursor. Most misses you get is through poor reading.kutora wrote:
Hmm interesting thoughts. I really just read up on Jumps and Single Taps andd skimmed through Squares.
I can't really agree with jumps because I think it's a lot more about being comfortable at your current sensitivity.
For instance, I have my sensitivity on my mouse at 6000dpi which is something I need to actually function using a PC now. Used to be 5500 when I still played osu! with a mouse.
I've tried changing my sensitivity a lot when it comes to osu! but I found that once you think you found something you think works, it's going to take a long time to get used to it again. For me I switched from 3500dpi to 5000 to 5500. I tried going back down but once I did I found it crippling cause I couldn't play decently on a lower sensitivity and my "muscle memory" I guess couldn't go back to a higher sensitivity unless if given at least a month. Also if I remember correctly I had osu! set to about a 1.3x sensitivity too.
I basically got it to a point where I would only have to move my wrist and fingers (wrist for left and right, fingers for up and down) within a very small field but I liked it, maybe other people who are used to higher sensitivities will too??
If you have a good mouse, then they are around the same (except I find tablet pulls ahead on long songs that don't have many breaks).kutora wrote:
Too be honest, I think getting a tablet would help out a lot of people just cause it's a more natural position to hold a pen then a mouse (for most people at least) and I found it to help with accuracy a lot. Went from around 94% to 98% now.
With this I also have my sensitivity bumped up, again so I only have to use my wrist. I guess I just find there to be more control because of what you're pivoting is closer to the pen. Would also depend on how much control you have over your forearm muscles.. That or maybe I just really like higher sensitivities.. I really don't know but hey, at least I'm trying to add on ;D
Don't move your arm up and down I guess??dinopwn wrote:
for singletaps i don't have space to move my arm up and down since the table is too big what do i do
I think the norm is doing it like xzx xzx if you single with xmaelander wrote:
I am newbie. I have been playing osu for a week after 2 years of inactivity. (played for like a month or two back in 2012-2013). I didnt know you could use keyboard ZX lol, been playing with the mouse clicks till I read this some days ago and I got a little better. I have a question: I use X to "single tap", when you talk about triples and the pattern zxz zxz is it for X or Z tappers? I'm struggling to make triples combined with sliders (and also doubles). I want to know if I should be doing triples like ZXZ ZXZ as I use X for tapping. thanks~

I fully alternate, but for triples sequences I prefer doing XZX XZX XZX.ShadyAngel wrote:
So my advice would be to just try the different variations and see what feels right for you
