I just read all of this and surprisingly everything is true
Revealing the truth in this way is so offensive and demoralising that people may even suicide after reading it. I propose you add a warning to this part so people can prepare themselves for the shock following the realisations that may ensue.ScarletStory wrote: 3o6u6z
SPOILERMISCELLANEOUS (non-playing related) REASONS
3. You want to impress others. This will be an easy one. The next time someone tells you about something great that they worked for lets say maybe they got into Harvard. You look that smug law school good for nothing Son of a B#$%$ right in the eye and tell him how you streamed 20 notes at 222 BPM and you only got 10 100's and 5 50's!!! After you inevitably get looked at as if you are the biggest idiot in the world, please come back here and let me tell you something young one. Osu! standard the concept of the game is to press keys or click while aiming where indicated by hit objects (circles, sliders) oh and to bring it all home spin your cursor in a circle for spinners. Doesn't sound so impressive to someone who doesn't play Osu does it? That's because well... it's not. Thats not to say that being good at Osu! isn't impressive or that others won't be impressed by your skill, but the point is the only person you should try to impress is yourself.

it always disturbs me that people capitalise the o on osu!
If you had a more consistent play history you would probably be a lot better.TheVileOne wrote: 2t1t44
Read it all. Very informative.
I'll probably be permanently stuck at an average play level. I am fine with that. It's not the end of the world if I'm not a good player. It's a lot less effort in the long run.
because the name is osu! and not Osu!Akali wrote: c5b4o
It disturbs me people care about that. Is it some grammar thing or what? It's the name of the game, in most languages you capitalise names so people just do that.buny wrote: 22l5t

Myke B wrote: t511t
That's not really the same thing. Osu! is capitalizing the first letter (which is typical when talking about a name) and it's only 1 letter being capitalized - not a bunch in the middle of the word. I get how this could bug someone if it's really not suppose to be capitalized, but is it that big of a deal?

I think there're dozens of things that could be added, tips containing some techniques like mouse grip, hand position. You could even find some various philosophies concerning the topic of how to play better and better.
ok, not even the first person to say box=, didn't even say it twice.ScarletStory wrote: 3o6u6z
Much thanks to sarasseo for supplying me with a format that doesn't kill your eyes and marcostudios for explaining how to make boxes that don't look weird.Of course a gigantic thanks to the people who are showing /supplying constructive criticism it is extremely helpful and very much appreciated.
If you have fun by outranking your friends and enveloping yourself in a competitive environment that's not a wrong reason to play, because you're having fun. What i mean is essentially playing for absolutely no reason other than to get better while having no fun. Of course one could argue that getting better at osu! is what makes it fun in the first place and that's completely fine I have no arguments what-so-ever in someone doing that. The point is you found something that made osu! fun and you worked for it. What I mean about playing for the wrong reasons is more along the lines of not enjoying playing at all to the point where you are doing it without even wanting to. I feel like wanting to improve that bad is a wrong reason to play. Of course, that is subjective, but I think that if you don't love doing something then you just... shouldn't do it, if that makes sense.monomosc wrote: 394r9
I've been playing osu! for a little more than a year now, I've never had fun except when I did something better than my friends or myself. Friend ranking is my bible.
Same goes with starcraft2, I don't like the game but tried really hard until I was better than all the people I know personally.
I don't think that is a "wrong reason" to play the game.
It would be nice if a Person would translate the Thread and post it in the language specific forum.Wishy wrote: 1he60
I agree that having this and jesse's thread every other post asking dumb stuff about getting better should be instant locked.
This thread should be translated to every possible language, especially morse code it's very important so the enemy spies won't get it.

(the hit error indicator shows up as a little rectangle that appears at the bottom of the screen). Blue is good, green is meh, orange is wtf are you doing?
ScarletStory wrote: 3o6u6z
Sure you may be able to get the first one maybe even two but as more squares appear those few milliseconds you lost begin adding up and you begin to lag behind and therefore you either A. begin moving into the 100's and eventually 50's. or B. You start going in circles (literally you begin to make circles with your cursor as you get more confused) I cannot stress the importance of snapping to notes. It is probably the most basic necessity in order to complete jumps.
ScarletStory wrote: 3o6u6z
In all seriousness though you move through slider 1 slowly then you have to quickly jump all the way to slider 2 and slow down again in order to match the speed of the slider which is difficult, however if you practice this (AS WELL AS PRACTICING FOLLOWING ALL SLIDERS CORRECTLY 100% THROUGH) it will teach you how to have better control over your pen and it will increase your speed in general because you will be more aware of where your cursors going and what movements you need to make in order to get it there without even needing to think about it.
So much this. Yes.ScarletStory wrote: 3o6u6z
Both mice and tablets have their advantages and disadvantages but don't get tricked into believing that either one will require less effort on your part. Let me stress that I'm not in any way trying to talk down tablets mice or mechanical keyboards. What I'm trying to do save you the frustration of getting one thinking you'll be 20 times better only to realize you're still going to need to spend time in order to improve.
People tend to forget how training muscular and nervous systems work. Studying how a human body learns mechanically is very, maybe almost as important as psychological aspects of a self-improvement game such as this.is very true. Knowing how neuromuscular training works is a big help to become good at stuff.
i wish i went up 40000k ranks when i bought my tablet- Ethan - wrote: 4aa20
I was one of those people who thought a tablet would make me "INSTA-BETTER" so I bought one.
It did turn out well in the long run, I am not top 100 or anything but I have gone up about 40000k in ranks, but I now realize it wasn't just because of the tablet lol.

I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ! Hi guys !
Here's my question !
HOW CAN I FIX ALL THOSE FARKING SH*T MISS IM DOING ALMOST EVERYMAPS WITH MORE THAN 1K COMBO ?
..ribute![]()
Solution: Stop thinking that what people who have way more experience than you say applies to you as well. HR doesn't make things easier, it only sometimes makes complicated maps easier to read due to AR10, ONLY for those who canKahoria wrote: 4bo1n
What about this issue :
I have easier time reading Scarlet Rose with HD HR than without mods but HR AR is hell to fast for me to play <.<
Also yes i hate AR10 but it was just an example
In our world it give Players with talents for osu!TSC wrote: 1u2c67
A lot of osu! Players began playing offline without .
That's a huge overstatement, if anything they just created a new and their excuse for being better than one would expect would be that they played offline.
Ahh this question. I was waiting for it to come up eventually! The that I started on (which I do not use period) had an "offensive" (if that's even the right word don't ask me I'm not easily offended) name and due to the fact that I had already used a er tag to change my name *facedesk* I did indeed have to make a new . However, please let me stress that I don't in any way try to "trick" anyone into thinking something like "OH MY GOD 4 MONTHS AND YOU GOT AN S ON (insert difficult map here)!?!?" No, that's not me in the slightest. In fact, I said myself that playing solely to impress people was a bad reason to play and I'm no hypocrite. The is due solely to the fact that my old name came off as offensive to some people, and therefore, I thought it would probably be in the best interest of others and myself to just drop the while it was still new and to make another as a means to change my name.iderekmc wrote: 2x2k2k

Hi everyone, I've been playing osu! daily for almost a year (8 months)
Could you condone that for me?Pettanko wrote: 6c1n5w
Damn some of these things hit really close to home.
If I could suggest you add one more reason, it would be something along the lines of "blaming your equipment(or lack thereof)"
I can definitely understand that. Due to lack of a desk, I had to play osu! for a month in much the same setup except for it was in my bed. Not a very fun experience at all. You are condoned sir.NeVe12p4wNeD wrote: 664cg

Switch to another mode or practice nonstop. What your choice. Currently practicing with Taiko and hopefully trying to get to level 50 on there since I am 50+ on each mode. THAT WAS DEDICATION TO GET BETTER, not complaining in this threadMayoi Hachikuji wrote: l2928
Quite honestly.. After reading this i really just want to quit the game.
My bad habits are the reason i still play. I might aswell face it.
*I will never be able to keep a constant stream speed when streaming.
*I will never be able to play HR because of EXTREMELY bad acc.
*I will never be able to properly read nomod.
*I will never find a grip that suits me since i always manage to turn my tablet erasing pretty much all existing musclememory.
*I will never be able to attain my #1 in Denmark.
Story of my Osu! life atm. Atleast i can entertain people through streaming by playing fast stuff. Though no Fc'es or good acc's.
Someone coach me T_T
