To quote the guide: "PLAY MORE WHAT!?"

[@Vplaytg]

I think the whole guide is overcomplicated. There are just a few basics when it comes to training that apply to osu that you need to remember which is progressive overload. Application and reduced guide: 1. Warmup 2. Overall improvenent 3. Safety notes 1. Warmup: Have a warmup. Warming up means playing a couple maps that are below your comfortable star range and you can easily play. Preferably the maps implement different skill sets that can vary depending on whatever skill you want to work on during the session. -During the warmup you should not feel significant amounts of strain, it is about activating the muscles priming your hand-eye coordination and warming up your fingers and wrists to avoid injury and to increase stamina for the session. -Stretching of the fingers and hands is recommended to avoid injuries. -The amount of warmup needed varies depending on the individual. Usually you can see a slight increase in performance as you are getting warmed up, which you can use as a prime to start the session. -If not 10-15 minutes of light exertion maps is enough to start the main part of the session 2. Overall improvement: - the most important thing to remember is progressive overload, meaning you always work at a point that is mildly outside of your comfort zone in order to improve. Every time you push your body past what it is currently able to do comfortably but not past its healthy limits, it will adapt in order for you to adapt to that discomfort. How does that apply to osu? Whatever you want to improve on in osu it follows this exact principle. Start at a point that is just outside your comfortable skill range and get better until it falls within your comfortable range. Repeat. So, lets start from the beginning. The most important thing to focus on, especially in the beginning is accuracy. Why? Because it actually encompasses a variety of skills which you have to implement based on different maps and it is a good indicator of how good you have mastered those skills. How to improve on accuracy: 1. Consider your plays as high acc if they are 98%+ 2. When you play maps, strive to get the accuracy past that point. 3. If you get close on a map, put that map in your acc test collection. 4. Play maps out of that collection until you can pass them with 98+ consistently 5. Consistently means that if you play the map 5 times, at least 4 of those plays are above 98% and none are below 96.5% 6. Passed it as described? Great, you passed the map and are consistent enough, come back to it from time to time to test yourself. If you cannot fulfil the requirements of poing 5., the map belongs back into your acc practice. Other skills: The principle is very simple; play what you are striving to improve and constantly moderately challenge yourself within that skill set. Want to learn jumps? -Play jump maps just outside your comfort zone (>92%acc) -Apply the 98% accuracy rule. -increase difficulty mildly -repeat Want to learn streams? -Play stream maps just outside your comfort zone - apply the 98% consistency rule -increase difficulty -repeat Wanna learn dt/hr/hd? You know what to do. Also, some tricks: -Use difficulty adjust in order to make things harder or easier in order to get the skill you want to improve on into the correct comfort range. -Make collections for the skillsets you want to improve on -consistency is the key to success. Play osu 2-5 times a week for at least an hour for optimal improvement. - end the session whenever you feel pain in any joint, notice a significant drop in performance at least 30 minutes into training, and have significant muscular strain that inhibits performance (eg. Arm is very tense after playing streams.) NOTE: significant feelings of STRAIN early on into the session can mean that either you arent warmed up enough, or you are playing something too hard for you, or you are using bad technique (eg. Tensing alot). PAIN is ALWAYS bad and should lead you to immediately suspend playing osu and get rest.

My warm up is different I play higher stars on my warm up, I'm comfortable at 6* but I will warm up on 7* or 6.8.*. I started using this method when I'm still new and can only FC 3* I will warm up on 4* or 4.3*.

[@amenotejikara]

I used to play in 2015 to early 2016 and fell off the game until 2022 and I appreciate that there’s more of an effort to give targeted advice these days when back then the ONLY thing you would hear is “play more” and “play harder maps”. I understand why it exists and has persisted though, two people could be struggling with the exact same weakness with entirely different issues as their root cause. This makes it difficult to guide them in what will help without taking a very deep look at their abilities from various different angles. Just telling someone to play more is an easier solution because you’re banking on them to stumble upon what will end up being their solution themselves, which is kinda what most people do anyway. However I do think this advice isn’t anywhere near efficient and can even be harmful. Someone could walk away with that advice and end up stagnating very easily. Generally, the middle ground I’d give is to play more BUT with the caveat of making sure to mix it up and try pushing yourself at different things for periods of time in order to diversify.

[@EM-oe2lz]

I think people vocalizing what they struggle with is good, just attempting to diagnose the problem (even if it's incorrect at first) goes a long way. As you said, it can be super hard to get to root cause diagnosis because everybody is different, "play more" would really only help when you know you've eliminated all other sources of problems and it's simply a mechanical issue (your raw tapping speed or raw aim is bad), but chances are there's methods you can do to improve that without improving raw mechanical skill (idk though I haven't played osu in like 3 years lol, but this style of thinking carries over to many other games and facets of life)

I also discoverd what PP were when i set my first 200 pp. until that I played just for fun only. Today I also play to gain pp. Fun fact: my first 200, 300, and 400 pp play (still my top play) were just for fun osu session playing maps only to fc them, also because i didn’t know how much they were worth and i didn’t matter (i wasn’t excpecting to fc them at all)

[@zloli2632]

I am so glad BTMC shared his opinion about DT. I COMPLETE AGREE, the problem with learning DT is almost ENTIRELY based on being able to read past AR 10.3. For some context, I was an early DT pp farmer spamming maps around the 300 pp range (Koigokoro, Daidai, etc.). I learned so many additional skills since then... alternating, HR, streaming, space streams, tech maps on occasion and especially longer no mod maps. However, as I was learning these skills, I was ALWAYS haunted by that one friend that seemed to easily be able to play DT maps at a high AR and shit out 400-500 pp plays like it's nothing, even in a multi setting. Throughout my entire time practicing other skills I would always come back to AR 10.3, but would NEVER be able to find consistency with it. Even if I did manage to FC a map, it would always feel so... gross, so inconsistent, basically rng. However, nowadays I can come back to those maps and like BTMC mentions, once I lower the AR to something like... just AR 10, many DT maps that I struggle with become instantly FCable. AR 10.3 is actually just such a wall for me to climb and it's crazy to think people were playing those maps and easily FCing them back in 2013.

most of the things in this essay i already apply in my gameplay in the last 6months and i went to having 1 150pp play to having 5 200pp+ plays if my laptop motherboard didnt overheat (this made me stop playing the game for 2-3months) i would easily have already fced valley of the vale with 97acc and get a 260pp+

Having structure to your practice sessions is good actually. I don't know why people seem to think that to improve at osu you need to completely turn your brain off and reject any advice given to you that isn't play more

[@pepegaclap8432]

@@Garfield_Osu youre just wasting time by doing all that stuff that the guy im the video described the best and easiest way to improve is having lots of beatmaps and 50% of the time going for good scores on sth that you can play comfortably and 50% pushing yourself and playing +0.7-1 star higher than you should to adapt to higher speeds etc and get the muscle memory for some stuff you do not need to spend 37 hours warming up for your train maps and then playing them for a century just to actually start setting some scores
