I noticed that there is a big jump between 3 and 4 star (imo), it's kind of jarring since I feel I can't really keep up, are there any tips to help me improve?

im not good at osu myself, but i think consistency is a large factor and also having a good keyboard can help you with accuracy. I also think playing different patterns on different beatmaps can help you when playing different maps.

overall, just play more.

Develop fundamentals first, then focus on a specific skillset you want to be good at.

ofc you got to have a good mindset and dedication. It pays off later on

Note: This is all opinionated based off of my own personal experience.

People talk about accuracy, but no one ever talks about precision aka unstable rate. You can be very accurate, but without good precision, you will be inconsistent. Work on precision before accuracy. Just think, if you hit all 100s on a map at the same moments per note, you only will need to adjust your latency. If you hit 300s and 100s and some 50s, your accuracy is more than likely not the problem. (Hypothetically) I rather tap to the beat and miss every note, instead of hitting all 300s and fc choke. And more importantly, don't stress yourself out if you feel stuck. GLHF :D

Start with low 4* then up. It's the same procedure for every star.

I’ve been thinking about this recently. I’m getting 97+ acc but sometimes not even getting half the combo and I think that’s why. This is worth paying attention to.

I would say, that you shouldn't play the same song too many times if you are practicing, ofc its alright if you try to achieve something on the song, but otherwise on my end, I have noticed that I get worse at that song the more I play it, its always good with some variety.

Yesterday I saw a guy saying he could pass 6* maps but not 4*
That's what you get when you just get used to maps that are too hard for you

You can't improve overnight magically. It doesn't work like that. I would say take breaks eventually to avoid burn out. Other than that all I can say is play more.
Stomiks
Yeah I think everyone knows that they can't become the next mrekk overnight. But still good advice for players who need a reality check.

even though this thread exists, there are still people who make threads on how to imrove at [skillset]... i guess this thread is kind of useless.

(sorry for the necro btw)

In the end you just gotta play more

This is an amazing guide for beginners, or people who just genuinely want to get better. Helped me a lot with getting my accuracy up from 70%!!

A quick reminder for the newbies, don't rush into this headfirst! I did in 2019 and ended up withhhh carpal tunnel. Not cool right? Playing constantly with ZERO break/off-time is extremely negative, and has more cons than pros. Instead, make a habit of spending so much time a day/a week improving, and make it a point to stay hydrated and have snacks on hand. You got this!! 🫶🫶🫶

I am not a 4-digits or 3-digits and so on, but I have almost 600 hours on this game and peaked 70k rank by just playing taking in order some advices and my advice is "enjoy the game". You should play smarter not harder in order to improve so while you have the will seek for general knowledge about improving (this thread is really useful) but when the burn out kicks in just take your time from the game or play whatever you enjoy, you'll still improving but slowly.

And something important that I've noticed is that when you stop playing for a certain period of time you don't lose skill, you forget how to hit certain patterns that where difficult for you back in the days, you will catch up to your previous skill level in no time (faster than if you would have to learn everything again).
