My 1 Year osu! Progression (2023 - 2024)

[@invnilez6071]

Didn't expect such a touching ending. Katawaredoki does exactly the same to me, as to you. Perfect choice for the ending, every second of the video was enjoyable, thanks for a well-written plot. Keep your montage, osu gaming, drawing, anime watching etc. You've changed. Changed for the better!

[@InkLyned]

lmao I was waiting for someone to comment about the ending Yeah I was watching your name and when the song played it was like suddenly, everything clicked I could confidently say that this so far is one of the best things I've ever made and I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, thanks

[@simiik6346]

that was so touching bro i nearly touched myself to the thgouhjht uf ur D3AD mother LOL

[@chungusftw]

this is insanely high quality for osu content woah

[@InkLyned]

the bar is already practically on the floor for good osu content but thanks lol

[@noahkop6862]

Totally agreed. we need more stuff this high effort

[@ezraciagara9600]

Goated osu video. Congrats on your progress and its so awesome to see other people so enthusiastic about this game. I knew the moment I started playing it seriously again that it was something really special. Really fun game no matter where you are skill wise and what your intentions are. Also I'm so surprised you never heard about Your Name until recently thats crazy its a certified classic. I recommend Night is Short, Walk on Girl if you want another great watch. Oh and Wolf Children too but prepare yourself for tears. ALSO ALSO you're based for being a Mac player I actually started playing again because I found out about lazer and its compatibility with Mac! Mac superiority!!!

[@InkLyned]

holy moly thats a lot of text I agree with everything you've said tho, funny thing was I tended to avoid anime content before playing this game because I thought I was "above it" (sounds pretentious I know) After playing this game tho? I don't care anymore I'll watch whatever the hell I want and I'll enjoy it I'll definitely give wolf children a watch since I've heard many positive things about it, and yeah osu mac gaming is underrated as hell it might be a bit laggy but who cares it works

[@sipex3292]

Dang, great video and progression you’ve definitely impressed me with the effort put into this video. I’m currently 550k and I’ve been playing for 2 years on and off. Insane improvement loved the video you’ve inspired me to keep grinding. And btw you’re not the only one who has had their Spotify playlist turned upside down from playing Osu!👍

HAH I'm glad I wasn't the only person that had that happen to them, glad this video was able to motivate you

:0 Youre insane! I started playing the game around October of last year so Its insane to me how good you've gotten in a similar time frame. Great job!

[@InkLyned]

thanks man, if you weren't able to reach my rank then thats alright that probably just means you played less, which is a good thing

[@jeeff4741]

@InkLyned Quite the opposite actually, I've got like 1.5x the playtime and number of plays. Im guessing probably overplayed cuz I stagnated for a good few months without improvement and have just started hitting 150pp+ on my plays.

[@InkLyned]

@@jeeff4741 ah fuck, yeah probably overplayed a little. Don't lose hope tho I'm sure you can do great things

[@jeeff4741]

@@InkLyned Ofc I wont, I love the game and your video motivated me to play more! I'll be able to reach your level eventually.

[@EternalJouney1002]

I love the last two minutes of this video so much 😭 One of the reasons I love osu! so much is because of the songs and the story behind each beatmap. I am probably a boomer of osu! now, because my time of osu was 2015-2019. Because your last two minutes of the video, I was able to recall all of my joyful feelings of discovering new anime and new visual novels that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't decided to download a certain map. It almost made me teared up. Looking back, it was a long time ago now. I even forgot that I used to have those feelings too. Thank you so much for including those last two minutes into the video 😭 I wish your journey will be as fun or even more fun than mine.

[@takapafercheosu1053]

Awesome progress, man! Keep it up! The Osu! community really needs talented content creators like you, and you've got everything it takes to succeed. Looking forward to seeing more of your journey!

[@deandeanhd6572]

nice vid bud, the end got me like ahhhh

[@InkLyned]

[@davidepais]

that's video was soo good, i didn't expect it I think was only like every improvement video where you only show the plays and the pp gain but no you talk very things about it, what you are doing, how you reach in that play and the final... congratulations for get 5 digit only 1 day after the video. As a 500000 rank yours plays look completely insane (mainly the acc).

[@InkLyned]

I figured I'd be wasting the viewers time if I didn't do that, so I added in everything that I could remember Thanks btw, everyone kept telling me to keep going for 5 digit and it eventually got to me, so yeah I've already hit one of my goals for 2024 Also yeah I'm an acc player, I hate it when a play is held back by the accuracy which you get from it (my daidai play for example)

[@ichtimyt]

Hey man i am on very similar joirney i started 9 month ago and no approaching 200k. Playing for fun mostly not very on focused on pp but definitely came across some of the same maps as you did. Hope you keep having fun !

[@aisubanshh]

cant believe how much similarity we share, we both choked our first 200 so many times, we both got into anime because of this game, we both watched your name and recognized the radwimps songs in the movie from osu, we both changed our music taste to liking more anime and vocaloid songs because of this game, if not for this game i wouldnt have been the person i am today, and im proud of what i am right now, and its the same for you as well, no matter where a person is from, this game brings the same feeling to so many people. at the end of the day, we just play games for fun, and osu is just that, a fun game that changes people

[@InkLyned]

ayyyy thats sick I'm telling you, this game changes everyone who plays it. And I think that's wonderful, the people in this community are amazing

[@Mintystroke]

for some reason you made me want to play osu even more,and i was really touched by the video,even encouraging me to start making osu content.all i can say now is thank you. sending this with love - mintystroke(bobalostora)

you're welcome! I'd love to see what you can make

[@AstreDamus-f1g]

this really motivated me to keep on playing ive been playing this game for over 4 months now and the best I can do is barely pass a 5 star map by luck and a highest pp score of 52 thanks so much for this vid dude we appreciate you

keep going, 4 months in and I was the same. This game takes time to get good at so I encourage you to keep going until you get to that point

ahhhhhhhhhhhh ur so cool😎😎😎

[@wrongwayscout]

I didn't have time to watch this whole thing, but I want you to know how heavily the thesis at the end resonated with me. I've been playing osu for over 7 years and it has truly defined who I am in so many ways through influences both in and out of the game. I also watched Your Name for the first time this year, and I've gotta agree that it's a wonderful experience.

[@InkLyned]

That's okay, I'm glad the ending resonated with you as much as it did for me. This game changes people and I wanted to put it in a way that would get across to other people

[@christianchung9412]

really high quality and fun video! I have 175 hours and just got to sub 300k rank on mouse, you're already practically 5 digit after 250 hours which is wild

[@InkLyned]

oh shit thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it I mean tbh I think the reason I gained ranks so quickly was because I wasn't farming. Even now I think there are about 10 more untapped farm maps that I could abuse to get to mid 5 digit I'm sure you'll get to 5 digit eventually as well, just make sure you're not tiring yourself out by playing too mcuh

[@christianchung9412]

yeah that sounds right, my top play is a total fluke of a 1 miss on marshmary 5* for 168 pp, haven't gotten close to recreating it since which is wild because I can remember barely passing that map I did kinda farm from 350k down to 300k but I'm pausing playing for a while now, next goal is the emu1337 sidetracked day FC which can net 170 pp at 50x100 accuracy

[@just_tatsumi]

great video and nice ending words c:

[@InkLyned]

Thank you

[@ffelipe1009]

It's very nice seeing someone whose video emanates passion for something, and i find yours really special, not just because you were a 6 digit like me and many others, but because i can feel the passion and dedication of someone from this video(That AAAHAHHHHHHHGHG, on daidai genome spoke to me VERY personally), and its uncommon for someone to put this much effort on a video(Not like i am an example, i mostly use this account as an timeline for my proud plays in osu!), and even if it's just an impression, it seemed like you got to the place you are by pure and raw effort, which is why this feels special, it's more common for really talented people to make these kinds of videos showing an explosive increase in skill, but this is natural, and just feels about right

[@InkLyned]

you're giving me too much credit lol I just wanted to make something which hasn't really been done before in osu content. I figured making a video just showing the plays would be a waste of the viewers time so I'm glad you enjoyed what I did

[@jofoxthecat727]

That's insane bro, I've been playing since 20th February 2021 and I'm still only 7.5k lol My improvement stagnated for 6 months twice is probably the reason for my rank. If you're ever stuck in improvement either take small breaks or grind one skill set than rather than play everythinf. In the end I'm still pretty happy where I am rn but seeing ppl in top 100 joining literally 1 or 2 days earlier is kinda weird bc I could also be there

[@F3st1v3]

​@@jofoxthecat727 I'm 10.5k despite starting in november 2020 :( The worst part is that I improved pretty fast at first (set my first 300pp and 7* fc within around a year I think), but it took me 15 months to set a 2nd 400...

Good video! One tip is that you can pitch up the mp3 for the before recording the replay so that osu sounds aren't pitched up.

[@InkLyned]

Yeah I didn't think of that before recording all the footage and it would've been a pain to rerecord all of it (which is why most of the replays aren't pitch adjusted and this video has a shit ton of copyright claims) Will do that next time tho

[@InkLyned]

I mean its what gets favored in the system, I'm trying to break out of it at the moment but its taking a bit of time

[@thefakebazuso1280]

@ that’s why I strongly oppose the pp system. I know it gets newer players riled up to see their number go up, while also playing pretty comfortable maps they can fc. But this game has so much more variety to offer. I see a lot of maps not having top 50 full of fc, which are not particular hard, they are just not favored by the system and will therefore get overlooked by so many. So instead of going for numbers I encourage all players to go for scores on maps they like and not on maps they know will be the most rewarding for pp.

[@InkLyned]

@@thefakebazuso1280 I agree with this even if I don't go about it in my daily routine. Theres this one yorushika map that I'm trying to fc as well as an fc on true dj mag. While these will not be doable for a while I'm still trying and I hope that eventually these dreams will become reality

[@F3st1v3]

​@@thefakebazuso1280 I think if people followed your advice, less people would actually be able to enjoy more maps. I think it's WAY more important for a new player to grind/farm (especially aim) for as long as possible before branching out their skillsets and trying different types of maps. If new players only played maps that were unique or didn't give much pp, a year later they'd quit because they're rank 800k with 200 hours wondering why they improved 5x slower than everyone else.
