habib appreciation post was feeling down in the gutter today, but this made my day better thank you for all your hard work to help the playerbase

[@analuisa2163]

Funny how I started playing osu to get better at music and now I'm studying music to get better at osu

[@bluechromemina]

I think people have some sort of inherent knowledge in rhythm sense (especially when sightreading a map), but doesn’t know how and why understanding it helps in difficult maps. Good episode peepoSit

[@cheshire1]

I think a good way to explain how repeating similar patterns help is *priming* . The fast pattern processing in your brain is built on association. Imagine it like a huge network of patterns where similar/associated ones are connected. If you see the first pattern then that pattern, and also rotated or more spaced versions of it, get activated in memory for quick recall. That way you can read the pattern much more easily when it shows up later in the map. All of this happens automatically (not just in osu, but in every facet of your life, I recommend "Thinking - Fast and Slow" if you want more info), but consciously thinking about it will make it even stronger. I imagine learning music theory also helps by organizing your memory network according to groups of 4.

[@handsomebear.]

Yay, was hoping for this one

[@jone2317]

Lowkey the phrases part and alot of this is incredibly useful as mapping tips aswell.

[@rudyranger249]

Alternate youtube title: Habib telling us how songs often repeat itself in parts.

[@Daakkii]

Oh so it’s normal. My strategy for maps that I couldn’t acc well was to set the tempo of the song in my head or even say 1, 2, 3, 4 out loud in order to keep on the timing. Thanks for the video! At least now I know that my strategies aren’t rubbish.

18:48 vwoop vwoop vwoop

[@kaitheemo]

i always warm up by light stream maps some jumps and SPUTNIK-3 , its always mandatory that i play it

[@xandieop8972]

"4 is the magic number" mista mad

[@adumbledoor394]

I am confused about whether I am more confused after watching the video than before. Music theory is theoretically so simple at a basic level at least, yet my brain says, "Fuck you, I don't care!" and as a result, it always confuses me a lot. I keep the information of this video in the back of my head, and maybe one day it will help, but for now, I feel more confused. Thus I will just "ignore" it because I am sure it will mindblock me.

[@sganicocchi5337]

why are there so many dislikes

[@duccline]

wtf yeah

[@honmi]

I think it got botted rip. pls enjoy video

[@sganicocchi5337]

[@yuyenbruh]

@@honmi great series. i would love to pay my full attention on every video, will do someday soon :3

[@ClowdyHowdy]

I am from the future. What dislikes? 🤡

[@antip0is0n]

Insane how u did not run out of ideas yet!Also tf is this dislike count

[@galensong609]

The maps aren’t linked : (

[@damascusg]

yo why is there so many dislikes? this is a banger

[@xin6341]

They cant read 3 stars

[@inconnn]

damn u never realize how much ur subconscious does for u when ur playing cause when I'm playing a map a know these things even though I'm not explicitly thinking about it

[@inconnn]

like the hard part of Sputnik isn't really the rhythm but the finger control

[@Junniebug]

👍

[@Otosaka_]

I play piano but im still watching....

[@ashura_amane8499]

i needed to pause the video and focus on 1 2 3 4- 2 2 3 4 - 3 2 3 4- 4 2 3 4 isn't easy at all :O but anyway is mindblowing

[@Simrasil_]

I think it would be interesting to do a survey of people's rank and if they play an instrument or not and see if playing an instrument correlates to a higher rank in the game. Not only because of things like general finger dexterity and stuff like that but also because of music theory knowledge and rhythm sense.

[@RexoLide44]

As a 8K player i do not play any instrument ( but i want to learn piano)

[@cheshire1]

It might also help, just because you're used to regular and deliberate practice.

[@sanswag]
