[@MegaScytheman]

Great video! One thing that surprised me was that the coaching tips were still helpful to a longtime player such as you even though they were more geared towards new players.

[@TheLegendsmith]

It's something to keep in mind in general: Teaching a skill is not the same skill, *as the skill itself.* That is, you can be level 99 at a skill, but your teaching rank is still only level 1. When we improve at a skill, it often becomes subconscious, because that is faster. We don't need to think. You can see this a lot with artists: This is where the "Draw the rest of the owl" meme comes from because it is so common. People who coach and tutor others are people who have improved their ability to teach. This means they are still *conscious* of what they are doing still. They have delved down and analysed what is actually going on, they've dragged all that subconscious ability up and *analysed it*. This is why @shikkesora has tips for one of the top rank players in the world: He is aware, and understands what he is doing, more than shikke does.

Really smart way of doing something like this, especially on bancho. Personally think it wouldve been a better idea to claim you got banned on bancho and logged into someones account on a private server. Wouldve made the close call with the logins non existant. Very entertaining video though, I enjoyed seeing the small genuine improvement with your aim through the course of the video :))

Honestly expected a reveal. Lol. I've never played osu. Is it easy to get into if I've played some couple dozen hours of the project diva series (generally only up to hard and that's alrdy a struggle with the darn multi holds) and some beat saber? And what's better, an Xbox 360 controller or keyboard and mouse? Last (2 part) question: how many songs do you get if you buy the game and is it easy to add new/custom ones?

[@honmi]

1. osu has no multi holds, so it might be a bit simpler! it's only on PC, so you would have to use keyboard and mouse (it's coming out for phone soon too, where you'll be able to use your fingers) 2. the game and all the songs are 100% free, you just download the songs, double-click the files that you downloaded, and they automatically get added to your game! hope that helps :) and sorry for no reveal, the footage ended up being pretty anticlimactic so I ended up not included it. but thank you for watching!!

[@lucyc.5816]

A lot of getting good involves small mental adjustments. There's an important difference between "just click the circle better" and telling someone that the speed pickup comes from the step where the eyes acquire a target.
