Most efficient way of getting SS?

SSing seems sorta worthless since if you even screw up one hitcircle and miss it a little it screws you up and you lose the SS.
Unless you are getting to the leaderboards I don't think it's a good use of time.

Personally I wouldn't go on harder beatmaps since when I go back to easier ones I find myself just pressing the hitcircle too early because I am so used to playing harder beatmaps. That's the reason why I never play easy beatmaps unless I'm a beginner.

I think people are forgetting that there's more than one way to enjoy this game. Not everyone plays to rank up.

https://osu.ppy.sh/u/Winshley#_generall <- 4mod SS, SS marathons
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/ryuu <- Just SSing
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/lncognito <- Rank 1s on easies with max rpm spin
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/read00001234 <- ar10.8
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/MillhioreF <- Easy mod
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/Plasm <- HDFL

You can't really say "it's pointless", "it's not fun" or "it's a waste of time" as a reason since people have fun in different ways.

Side note: Most people I see who complain about not having fun are people who play to improve, but don't see results.

I agree with this. You don't really need to SS everything. I personally prefer just trying my best and having fun.

It's not about SS being useless, it's about having fun.

Anyway, focusing on the game 100% is the best way to get SS. Some people just can't listen to the music, so focus on reading approach circles.

Or, try playing maps you can FC. Then come back later, and get a better acc, until 99% or more. You will find yourself improving.

If you find spamming retries and trying to get SS fun then by all means go ahead. 1 SS so far and I am cool with it.

the only SS i have on an actual insane was luck, id never bother retrying even if i only had 1 or 2 100's.

why bother? it's not fun and you aren't going to get as much valuable skill increasing experience as challening yourself will.

damn i was pro 4 yrs ago
ss on insane?

I personally wouldnt recommend that since it just pisses most people off when they choke on accuracy. SS shouldn't be chased, they have to pop up when you play casually

bUT hey thats my opinion bUt Im not supposed to HavE an OpInIon

My 2 cents that no one asked for (also yes, I shall revive this thread):

I also get a lot of satisfaction from SSing maps! I’ve been playing for about a week now & would spend a lot of time SSing every map I came across. It actually helped me understand accuracy & when to click (I tend to click too early way too often).

Now, though, I haven’t even played any maps above 2.5 stars because I’m spending so much time SSing all the easy maps. So, I’m currently just focusing on FC with 98%+ accuracy (anything below just frustrates me, hahaha). And now I’m finally slowly sizing up my comfortable star difficulty!

Just saying that I totally get why / if you enjoy SSing maps (because same) & it’s great for when you’re a beginner learning the mechanics & gaining skill, but it’ll stump your growth in the long run.

I know this thread if from 4+ years ago & you’re probably rank #12 rn & literally no one asked for my opinion BUT in case some newbie stumbles across this form, hopefully this helps!
