​@@thespeedyyoshi I'm thinking of compiling lists of maps ordered by the type of difficulity, and how hard each individual stuff is, up to 4-5*. For example: 3* map that requires 2*jumps but 4* streams would fall under 4* streams etc. But I need players to test the compilation on. Soo, it's not likely going to happen... Plus, it's been a while since I played osu so I don't really know the new maps >.>

why bother becoming good in the eyes of the community. As rrtyui said, "plz enjoy game"

[@TheEventForumZ]

To be honest, that is how I approach any form of competitive game nowadays. I realise that when one starts to tilt in anything & starts getting worse at it, he/she is not having fun at all & really should stop playing & take a break because I was like that in the past. Now, when I make mistakes in-game, I just shrug it off & have a short mental reset as many great esports players do when they lose a game or a series. As DotA's N0tail said at TI9, "Just remember why you sat down to play for the first time and why you keep sitting down to play" & "Some of the best games are still spent losing." That is where one can improve the most in my opinion.

[@MechaStorm7]

I entirely relate to Tokaku's last point in the video. I'm the type of person that will play a lot of maps either a little bit too difficult for me or way too hard and just try to pass. It's been years since I stopped caring about pp score and I'm definitely enjoying osu a hell of a lot more since.

[@walktroughman1952]

@@MechaStorm7 I play the game the same way you do really, I mostly play maps I can "barely" pass (like, get a C with 85% acc, depends on the map), along with some slightly easier ones. I dunno, playing easy maps before hard ones mashes me more consistent

[@lilithz]

some things that i'm only beginning to realize as someone who's played osu on and off for 3 years and consistently for a bit over half a year: - you will still get pp for playing lower star maps. just do well on those maps. - you will still improve if you play lower star maps. just focus on doing well and being consistent on those maps. - you will still climb rank if you play lower star maps, as long as you do well on those. - if you fail a map more than 10 times in a row, you're just not ready for it yet. don't try to power through it. - you can only play so much osu in one sitting. it's a physically taxing game. not everyone can just pick up the game and play for an hour. break up your playing time-- play for 15 minutes to begin with, and then rest and do something else. it takes a lot of training for your brain and body to be able to focus at that level for a prolonged period of time. at this point, i am only able to maintain my best performance for about 40-50 minutes at a time. it takes time. - be patient. - play songs that you like. - try to get maps that have a lot of different difficulties. if you know the song from playing one map and you improve, you can go back to it and play the harder difficulties. not only does this make it easier and reduce the need to hunt for new maps, you can also visibly see how much you've improved, which will keep you from getting discouraged. - if you feel like you suck after playing for a couple of months, go back and play a map from a couple of months(even weeks) back. you will see-- you've improved. as long as you play consistently, you will improve no matter what. your brain is constantly adapting, and things will get easier without you even noticing.

I passed my first 4 star map in 84 fail in a row when ı passed my fingers are ached so hard that ı understand ı shouldn't do this again

[@hentaislayer9642]

I think I’ve been doing the exact opposite for the past month? I’ve been playing the game on and off for 3 years, mainly playing 2 star maps just to relax with friends. Well about three weeks ago I decided that I wanna improve on osu. And what I did is- play a 3 star map that I failed the first 3 seconds until I could pass it. I don’t know how long I sat on the damn computer, it must’ve taken me more than 300 tries in one sitting. BUT I passed it, with a C but I still did!(tenshi tekki teppou I think it’s called? A jump map) And then I went to the next 3 star song, and it took me 50 tries, then the next and it took me 20 tries, then the next and so on so forth until I could pass the 3 stars on my first try. (This happened over the course of like 4 days) When I went back on the two star maps, they seemed boring af and so slow I couldn’t play them, even I used to struggle on them like 4 days ago. After I could consistently get B’s on three star maps on my first try, I moved on to 4 star maps and repeated the same thing. Failed miserably, then less, then I started being able to at least pass the low 4 stars on my first try. I can now pass 4.5 star maps with less than 10 tries! Working on moving on to five stars, and all this improvement happened in 3 weeks. I went from thinking that 3 star maps were unbeatable to thinking they’re hella slow. Went from 200pp to 525pp within these three weeks :p. Yesterday I downloaded the fancy drivers for osu, I was used to a bit of input lag so it’s kind of halting my progress but I’m slowly getting used to it and it’s probably gonna help in the long run. Can’t draw with the tablet now though ;~;. Maybe some people would prefer to take it slowly, and maybe that works better for them. But I don’t think your advice applies for everyone. I think if I follow your advice I would have better accuracy tho lol, I went from 95% to 88% xd because of all the fails.

The most important fact about osu! is that everyone as a community is getting better the more they play. A few years ago, a 1,000 pp play was said to be impossible but now there are a few just in the past month! Now you can argue that maybe mappers are figuring out the tricks behind high pp numbers but thats besides the fact. As long as you play regularly you will at some point see big improvement, but sometimes its whether or not you notice yourself improving which can become a roadblock for your mental state which negatively impacts performance.

Being a (semi) top player myself, I just want to suggest one more tip: Enjoy the game. I've noticed time and time again that those who don't find osu! interesting don't perform very well. Also, if you're a player that have played this game for a while and want to get better but you find yourself constantly struggling to improve, take a week long break or so and come back, you'll find yourself refreshed. After all, osu! is supposed to be a rhythm game, not your job.

Hey, I heard a tip that you should'nt play the same map if you failed. In other words, dont retry, move to the next map. Is that true?

[@SOOH27]

@@sinfulwrath666 limit yourself to three retrys max, so you don't build muscle memory

[@iliekwaffles7993]

I wouldn't suggest constantly retrying the same map for two reasons. 1. If your goal is to improve, playing the same map won't get you anywhere; it'll seem like you're getting better, but in reality you're becoming too familiar with the map. 2. If you constantly retry, you may develop a "mind-block", which is essentially flawed muscle memory that constantly makes you combobreak on a certain note/section. edit: Rule of thumb for me: if you keep retrying a map and miss twice in a row on the same section, especially on the same note, stop playing.

[@pusiemekkun5345]

[@SOOH27]

one of my friends keep making the excuse of "well you have a tablet and I have a mouse, so that's why you're better at the game than me even though we've played for the same amount of time." So the other day I pulled out a mouse in the middle of his lobby and fc'd a map that he immediately failed. It's not really the mouse that's the problem, it's usually the mindset or experience of the person. Like if you think that "oh i don't have a tablet, i'm never going to be as good as tablet players," you're not gonna be as good as tablet players. Also, being called a "tablet sweat" just kinda pissed me off so I try to be equally as good with both mouse and tablet. Call me childish.

[@MainUkraine]

I mean are you gonna be cookiezi without a tablet? Probably not but that doesn't mean its impossible. Just because most of the top players use tablet doesn't mean its not possible with mouse, there are a lot of high skilled mouse players and its possible to get just as good if not better no matter what input you use.

I actually start doing rhythm games at the higher rated maps, mainly with ones like arcaea or project diva where there are harder concepts as you go on. Even as a beginner in project diva two years ago, I started out playing normals and hards the first day I got the game, had sincerely never even touched the game before. To me, it allows you to understand more difficult concepts sooner, but that's just my take.

[@mycookingiswet127]

well i just convinced my mom i needed a drawing tablet for distance learning and now im tryna learn how to play. Math analysis can wait

[@TonioDND]

As someone who started exactly one year ago, i can agree on the fact that playing super hard maps won't make you improve, or at least you will improve way slower. I started playing in multis where they put between 6 and 8* and i still have replays of that, it was hilarious. But i had fun, so i kept going into those lobbies 90% of the time, i skipped low diff to play at least 4 and 5* jumps maps and i got better from trying to pass harder maps every day. Once i managed to pass my first 7* (immortal flame go brr) i got into tech and i started really having fun because i hated playing simple patterns but i didnt have the level to really play tech. Now i got multiple 8* passes, but i can finally play different styles, like tech, hi-tech streams, finger control maps.. And im having fun. So yes you will improve by playing high star rating maps, but it will be way faster if you play maps you can almost pass, and that you push the limit every day. Playing 8* maps with no fail while you have 20h of playtime won't make you improve enough. But this have disadvantages, you will be super inconsistent, at the point that you may be able to FC a 7* diff spike but missing at the slow part. You'll be consistent at missing (pog) You won't be able to fc simple patterns because they will seem too slow. You may have struggle to read below AR9.6 if you played too much AR10 at the beginning of the game. People will also judge your playstyle and even call it stupid (when you're really just having fun). Some people said i was either cheating or multi accounting because i passed an easy 7* jump map in a shitty lobby at rank 300k... So yeah, if you're having fun FCing things, i dont recommend changing playstyle haha
