Hey this a very late comment but I genuinely enjoyed watching this video every single bit from start to finish. I'm right now currently helping 2 of my irl friends progress in osu!mania since they peaked interest in the game. This journey really reminds me of them and I hope others can find inspiration to this video

[@natenn__]

Great progression and you got the main point down, to have fun 😄 And as I have also just reached 1 year of playing, the best thing to do is have fun and not strain yourself out on this game

[@Sogudu]

yup

[@Rageinater]

good progress! I wish you the best of luck on the rest of your osu mania journey. This game and its community can be amazing sometimes

[@yurio3693]

Gg on your journey keep improving my friend

[@Amir-ui2xx]

I can tell how you feel, I also used to have a goal which was beating the person who introduced me to the game back in 2020, it felt very discouraging after he quit, I even stopped playing for a few months after that. But I did get back on my feet and tried once again playing. Got better at the game and met some awesome players in the community through my journey. As long as youre having fun playing the game thats all what matters by the way great video keep it up

[@Sogudu]

sorry, didnt notice this comment since youtube made it held for review for some reason lol. anyway thanks! appreciate it

[@Rageinater]

omg its amir....

[@Pidgeon02]

Damn youre lucky. I found osu in youtube and ive been playing it for 2 years now. Ive been encouraging my brother and friends to play it but they all said that it was too hard. I sucked too but i kept on playing and now i can play 7 stars on osu. I wish i had friends who played with me :(

[@Sogudu]

hey man, we're in the same boat. ever since van couldnt play, it was just me. but dont let it discourage you if you genuinely find the game fun!

[@farcefoxjames7515]

Bro, same here too. Whenever I show my friends osu mania they always ask me to play the hardest map then when I ask them if they want to play they say it’s too hard.

[@-MinyWasTaken-]

Great vid dude I got back to osu with my friend and we been on that grind since and quit from boredom but my friend got me back to osu and when I beat the 5 star dj cyper sensantional I forgot what it was called but I got 92 acc and that was like very good for me because I couldn’t stream and I knew that I was gaining skill and it was all like you man keep the grind up and don’t give up dude

[@comedianspider]

this is crazy motivating, i started on the first of december 2023 and it is now the tenth of january 2024, in this month span i have been able to get 900 pp and pass into the top 199k in the world, maybe in a year this video will get recommended to me again and i will update this 1-10-24: 901 pp 1-11-24: (1.5 hours later): 971 pp 1-12-24: 1,026 pp

[@notaas]

great video mate, if you ever find yourself stuck behind some sort of barrier while playing, try DT maps, that worked well for me so it hope it will for you too. good luck getting to 4digi 👍

[@CardThrower-rb6eg]

i wish you all the best in your rhythm gaming journey. to be honest, i was also like that in mania. i was in a constant cycle on stressing, quitting, and replaying. and i think i kinda like the skill level i am now. however i have temporarily quit, it stopped being fun anymore. for now i enjoy catch l, as weird as it is, because its less physically demanding, and is wayyy less quiet now that i live in a dorm. also fun timing windows and lack of a 100 window, requiring you to be absolutely perfect, otherwise youll miss. so yeah have fun and hopefully you become way better than me so i can make you my goal when i ever come back to play!!! anyway here i just want to give tips like me so you dont get discouraged 1. dont settle for being good enough. always push higher. when you realize you get 97s on a certain map, either push for a 98 or go for a higher star. never be satisfied. 2. never treat it as your job. always have fun. you will get burnt out if you do. take a break if you are getting stressed from osu. trust me, its happened to me too much 3. never think you can do well immediately. also was stressed about this one. always wait for your skill to develop by grinding, dont stress about stuff 4. dont worry if others are improving too fast. there are prodigies in this world,dont stress if you are not one of them. remember that you will still get better if you practice, and those people who dont need a lot of practice, that just means that you just practice harder to get where they are. and that makes you better in a sense. just remember to practice a lot and you will get to where the masters are. 5. good health. make yourself feel good and sleep a lot. remember that muscle memory is borne through sleep, so sleep a lot after your practice. this will really help. also eat well so that your muscle can also develop while playing osu have fun!!!

[@Sogudu]

thanks. you have fun too!

[@CyGy27]

Thats very good progress, I hope you have the motivation to continue playing. The beginning to 5/6* is always the hardest, once youre playing 6* it really starts getting fun. Always make yourself Goals and appreciate your scores for more motivation. For example my next goal is getting Rose Quartz 1.3 A Rank and clearing Tachyon. I wish you good luck on your Journey, and enjoy the Game.

[@CyGy27]

Bruh I only now realised that this was 8 months ago, but if youre still playing have fun

[@dematthewbaguio9688]

omg this was literally me, i started playing in funky friday too; got inspired by some pro plays in osu and i just wanted to be like them, good video!

[@Sogudu]

thanks

[@2muchS]

the jump from 4 to 5 is crazy

[@Welkinthewolf]

Really like the story telling and editing. Make me want to try and make one for my mapping I did over 6 years. Any tips?

[@yumerical]

I just noticed the beginning of this video is almost the same story on how I got into osu, the differece being I had no friend (and also instead of mania it was standard). I found a rip-off osu game on roblox and the song that got me hooked was Caramel Haven. I just wanted to comment this because of our similarity. (I also stopped playing for a few months because I got bored of it, so that's cool ig)

[@tydude]

epic progression. I thought I wouldn't get higher rank, so I took a couple month break from farming and just played other rhythm games. When I came back the game favors acc now so gained a lot of PP in one session. Overplaying burnt me out so definitely take some break time

[@Sogudu]

thanks! and yea, breaks are super understated. no point playing if its not fun, right?

[@ThatOneSleeper]

I first played osu when my older sister introduced me to it, though didn't like it all that much. returned 2 years later after finding out it had a mania mode (i didn't know it did originally because I'm stupid ;-;) and got back into it. I'm currently at that point where i can read a lot of things easily but cant hit them properly because i lack a good keyboard so I'm in the process of saving up for a decent mechanical keyboard.

[@Fanticalt]

I started with fnf, but after a while, I lost motivation. Out of nowhere, I got motivation to take mania seriously, and I kept grinding until I surpassed what I thought would take a year to pass. Currently, I can play 6 star charts, and I'm aiming to pass Alpha. I have been playing this game for over 6 months. I hope you reach top 1 in your country and have a memorable journey

[@Devin_J]

I had the same struggle as you lol, 3 stars to 4 stars took me so long

[@0knoP]

Sometimes i wonder how ive been playing this game for 3 years

[@mark220v]

this dude has got such a good taste in games. the ones he talked about in this video + risk of rain 2 are such good games. except osu lmao.

[@mattheus1331]

this video makes made me feel the best player in the world

[@Kristall_br]

I hope one day i get good too, i dropped out of FNF like some days ago, started o!m and incredibly i can do 3 star songs quite easily, but yeah the gap between 3 and 4 stars is huge, but i noticed that every odd star (3, 5, 7) there is a big difference, my friend is currently stuck in 7 star songs, while i can barely do 4.5 stars (really depends on the song, i've seen some charts that are 4 stars but are way easier than some other charts) Well, i will probably get a job soon, so probably my sessions will be only 2-3 hours long, but i hope this will be enough to get better with time and patience

[@justakidwithnolife5671]

My brother in Christ I implore you to play 7key as soon as possible :VVVV

[@Matchstickn]

You just showed me that my keyboard might be holding me back as well, I have the same problems with trying to hit the split trill and jack patterns. ty

Check your keyboard polling rate, tokkaku made a good video on it a bit ago

[@firefIies]

I also too started playing fnf ripoffs on Roblox and started enjoying rhythm games and I wanted to improve my skill more and I download osu and it took me 3 months to reach 15k Hope you improve more and good luck 👍

[@Sogudu]

thanks

[@yeaaass8631]

This video is history of mania lol

[@SilicosisNotBeta]

I approve

[@pikamatt6683]

For me the trigger was robeats which is also a roblox game even though I already loved rhythm games in the past. I played casually for like 2-3 years then played a tiny bit over 3 years because I just didn't have a proper setup and playing those 4* on my bed was def not easy but eventually last year I finally got a desktop and started grinding again because I found it fun and rn I can pass 5-5.2* so I will keep pushing even if it's starting to become pretty hard to progress I still enjoy booting the game and play for like 30mins to get my daily dose of rhythm gaming.

[@JoaoRS07G]

Hello FNFplayer that plays osu! here, I gotta say that you’re doing great! If you continue in this beat I think you can be 5th place on national rank ;) also good luck on Galaxy collapse, CHORDJACKS FOR THE WIN

[@Sogudu]

thanks

[@ChaosNuggets]

lol I also got motivation to play osu mania because of funky friday back then I was playing 4 stars but now I can play 6-8 star maps (idk man the mania star rating system is insanely broken)

[@MitsuboshiHikaru]

Knowing your progress, i think of myself, do i have a talent on vsrg?, Cause after 3 months of playing i can already S 5*, although i played funky friday at first too

[@Vento_Oreo]

i know its been a year Ive been playing osu for 3 years now i just began doing 4 stars people in my county dont play enough to the point i became 1st without realising wish i had more friends to play with

[@waterlvl]

whats your skin? it looks really cool lol

[@Dooka134]

I was Funki Friday player and just play for fun (april 2021) And on August 2021-November i play osu just for fun . I didnt what what im need make , for what i on this game and on December 2021 i stop play osu and sometimes other In January days was too boring and i just try again play osu and watch some video . Changet skin(solleks+bojii) and start play , watch help video I cant play higher 4 star too hard But now i easier can play 4 star and maybe can GC on S (now 94.50) Just continue play, find motivation, i believe in you

[@KIGAchan]

i played friday night funking on roblox then when i got my pc i moved to mania and ive been grinding ever since XD

[@sitargzx3553]

I started on funky friday at the beginning of 2021 until 2022 and went to rosu which is a version of osu ​​but on roblox I spent 1 year and in 2023 when I was still in the game, I got my first 5 * and it went on until 5.14* or 5.20* and in 2024 I went to osu in March so to get used to it I went to 4* in May I got my first 5 stars and this month I got my first 6* and 6.14*, I hope to go more furthermore

[@Zadlax]

just wait till bro S all the dans

[@fursuits]

you should really try raising your scrollspeed. I can tell it would help you improve a lot. 28-30 would be perfect.

[@Trustttt]

U seem like a cool guy, would u like to play some manias?

[@smupie2398]

Osu! Is a love hate relationship you play for months and enjoy it only to stop having fun, quit and then only to come back again a week or so later What broke the cycle for me was funnily enough dans. I remember ever since i found out about the alpha dan i had a genuine goal to work towards choke after choke i finally got and that feeling of overcoming something you used to struggle with and that is what kept me in the game Nowadays i stopped caring for rank and its helped me just enjoy the game instead of farming for top plays I wanna say get into playing dans (the reform one) at your own risk because it can take toll on your mental health if you take it too serious but nontheless its still fun Good luck with your journey!

[@Sogudu]

thanks

[@chep3459]

bro gots the same lore as me

[@iceknight240]

How you can do it? I played osu mania 2 years but still stuck at 2* lol

[@BreadBreadBreaddd]

Ive been osumania for 1 year and 3 months Im currently at rank 20k, i struggle at 5* maps but Beat 4* easily (2/17/24: i dont struggle at 5* anymore, i can even play some 6* maps :D)

[@jhlee01338]

10:50 you reffering to this game as a grind and torture pains me this game is nowhere torture its like a reward the chase for the score you want is so much fun

[@akatan867]

2:42 what skin is that ??

[@Kagakus]

the skin is called r skin (comes in bars, diamonds, and arrows), just look up r skin osu and then youll find some dude named retsukiya (or you can just use osu lookup). his skins are in the drop down menu in his profile desc. the version used was arrows v3.0.

[@ck-kc2903]

i just played fnf and enjoyed it and discovered alot of rhythm games and like rhythm games when i see osu mania it was fucked up it was like the new shit a lot of song's and yeah after 1 year i can only play 4.50 stars
