[@tothebeatofficial]

Great video. This series is very well made with a lot of effort put into it and I really hope that newer players follow your guidelines and start to have fun at the game.

[@SayaKirasaka]

I'm so glad that you talk about high accuracy being important so early into this series. Every time I see someone unironically saying "combo based game lol" I just want to smash my head into the next wall...

[@clamati1436]

Saya77 this is actually a combo game, as you need combo to get points, accuracy is something that you use to compare a score if you have the same combo, they are both important, like I don't say that accuracy doesn't matter, but if you just check a score, combo is actually more important A combo game doesn't mean you only need combo

[@SayaKirasaka]

I can't really agree to that fully because there are still situations where the lower combo with higher acc is more impressive. Especially on certain maps which are hard to acc. And what I said about the combo based game I meant in terms of that these ppl dont care one bit about acc, although its an important factor in a RHYTHM game.

[@clamati1436]

Saya77 I personally never said that acc doesn't matter but the thing is if you want points you need combo first. I would never said to someone that combo > accuracy but in terms of points, combo > accuracy

@@serenecereal5167 you're never gonna get good at the game by only playing those maps you know. you need to be a master at the basics before you get to the pro level stuff. if you're not good at streaming, jumps, accuracy then playing those maps wont help you at all. it'll probably make you worse

I've gone through so much in this game, from being mad that I couldn't beat something, to being too confident in my skills, becoming crap, and finally just playing and enjoying the game. All the things you've said not to do, I've done at some point in the 100+ hours I've put into this game... I wish I didn't do them, but at the same time, it's nessesary to fail, to get better.

[@adumbledoor394]

I watched this video about 7 months ago for the first time. And I improved rapidly by applying the rules/tips you mention in the video. In the last 3-4 months, though, I started to limit myself to AR9+ on 4-5star maps. I eventually realized that I have a very similar thing going on, as you mentioned in connection with DT. Everything that is below AR9 seems extremely difficult, compared to when I was playing a wider variety of AR's. On top of that, my performance at AR9+ is also not really great. Essentially I struggle to slow down and be patient enough. I am glad that your video exists because I remembered and now rewatched it to get reminded about the importance of patience and accuracy. Now I play on a slightly lower difficulty and expose myself to more AR's, and I can already feel how I start to be more patient and accurate. Thanks for the video.

[@lilelf29]

Decent advice and a well constructed video, will probably help a good percentage of those asking this question.

[@РођакНенад]

Watching this cuz I spent half of my 500 hours playing tech maps and maps +1.5* out of my comfort zone. Now I'm better than anyone else at my skill range (except the dude who mapped aleph 0,he's a beast) at sight-reading any map(especially tech) but can't FC cross screen jumps after a lot of retries like other players at my rank. I Started playing like a normal person a few weeks ago and I'm noticing massive improvement compared to when I was trying too hard. Even though I mostly played 0.5-1* out of my comfort zone and trying to FC 5* maps my whole skillset improved from deathstreaming(I practised long stream maps a lot tho) to spaced low BPM streams and very fast,close range jumps that require alternating. My personal tip: if you push yourself too hard,like I did, just to pass uta/highscore/tbb ,or whatever, you'll improve a lot slower later on, but if you just farm pp on easy maps you'll hit a skill wall you can't overcome because of your habits and way of playing.Just play the game in all its beauty and play all kinds of maps to have a balanced skillset. Always remember: a balanced diet is a healthy diet.

[@РођакНенад]

@Odynous bruh, I wrote "+1.5*" out of my comfort zone and the "+" signifies that the maps I was playing were my comfort zone(5.5-6*)+1.5*=7-7.5 stars. Did you even read past the first few sentences?

[@Njox]

I thought this was a Pishifat video before I read Bubbleman

[@Unkn4wN_TM]

One thing that people seem to not realise about "play more" is that it doesn't mean increase the amount of hours or days you play. Play more means continue playing If your friend says "I ate but i'm still hungry", and you say "eat more", it doesn't mean eat longer periods of time a day, it literally just means continue eating. So when someone says play more to you they mean that in order to improve you need to continue what you're doing and playing more maps, because there's no such thing as instant improvement. You have to play more in order to improve

[@christianjohnson8442]

I thought genuinely thought this was a Pishifat video

[@Minib34ts]

Thank you for affirming that literally everything I've ever done with Osu since day one has been a step in the right direction. Thank you for further illustrating other things I've either completely neglected or can be doing better.

[@UmCaraNormalnumPlanetanormal]

Goated video, i needed this badly, i've been stuck on 4.5 to 5.3 stars for like a year now

[@twozi]

Your advice actually matches my way of advancing in the game. •I also try levels a bit harder than my comfort level •I use HR to reach my AR comfort zone (AR7) •I learned the "triple tap on same spot" and nearly FCed quaver (Sotarks) with HT on a 3.5ish map making it 3.01.

[@vej5010]

Triple tap on samd spot? You mean triples?

[@shark20069]

still play?

[@Gornius]

Have played Hidden exclusively for like 10 months (started using it like after 2 months of playing osu!). Learning how to read without it was like relearning all the patterns.

[@rainrunya]

the only reason i dislike HR is the vertical flip, because it messes with muscle memory which leads to really infuriating misreads, misaims and fails. if the vertical flip was removed, i'd enjoy HR so much more and i'm sure other people would as well

Watching this at 2:45am and seeing 6:13 really wasn't a good idea when I let the laughter slip. As for the content, it hits everything very well and doesn't miss anything. Hope to see great videos from you again, since a lot of people finally recognise you for how great of a player you are. And if anyone can set a concrete path for future players to follow rather than getting lost in all the different pathways, it's you.

Awesome someone who Gave good advice with a proper show case of improvement 10/10

As someone who one tricks hr only and dt only, you do not want to go down this path too early. I have fcs on 6 stars and yet my ar9 reading is stuck at 4-5 stars.

wow 99%, I was usually playing the same level roughly until I could A most of them and S a few with some luck, before moving onto stuff that was C or B level and doing repeating. I've got 99% acc on like 5 maps and I can't get 99% with any difficulty because it's either too slow and I lose focus or I'm not good enough at them.

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

Lemme add. After playing a lot of different maps, try going back to those you played but had bad accuracy on, and improve it. I like to do that by grouping by rank achieved and then playing my B and C ranked maps. Many times I've managed to outright fc maps I previously had a B at, and it's generally improved my accuracy.

True.. almost 90% of the time I went into a room stating 4 or 5*, there will always be that "someone" that chooses > 6* maps.. The funny thing is they died. If you want to flex, make sure you can play. End of Story. Probably because the community in std mode is higher as compared to other modes like mania, ctb or taiko. For the most part, Std mode is the only mode that these type of people exist. No joke, because throughout the years of playing in mania, the percentage of these people appearing in multiplayer is very low.
