I can tell you, I was single tapping for a decade and learning to alt opened a door to enjoy so many more skillsets and the game itself so much more too :D seeing the list of the mappers felt really nostalgic man... PS: plz enjoy game
When was a beginner i watched a verto video about alternating and singletapping and i was like "Dude why would i learn to use 2 finger? That seems so much harder!". Then i hit 3 stars and the triples started coming and i IMMEDIATELY started to learn to alternate LOL
Been playing for around 2 months now! and just found this video. i've been a dt player since day one and mostly been doing shorter maps like 30 seconds to 1 minute and 20 second maps! so the tip to play longer maps did make a pretty big improvment for me! SO THANK YOU.
Started osu 3 weeks ago. Bought a tablet one week after I started playing. I’ve always liked osu! but hadn’t bought a pc until 4 weeks ago so for the longest time I was watching UA-camrs and streamers play osu and talk about it. I thought it was easy until I started playing. I started off only being able to play 1-2 star maps. Now I can somewhat do 3 star and almost certainly can do the higher 2 star maps.
Don’t skip the first step is probably the probably one of the best advice to new players. 3 years ago when I was 6 digit I just kept playing 5.5 - 6 stars expecting something but I felt more stressed over it because I was trying to FC that star range which wasn’t even at my level yet lol. I decided to go back some steps and progress slowly. After the training progress during that time I go got out of 6 digit. Rn I am rank 13k and when I was hardstuck 6 digit being stupid I was rank 120k. Some other improvement tips I think are good are: 1. Play songs that you enjoy because it could motivate you to improve. 2. Play songs that are longer than TV size. It improves tapping stamina and allows you to play longer.
number 12 is such a good tip. when i was newer to the game i would always just play maps that were way too hard for me to try to "improve." i got burnt out so fast and took a years break. i came back and could barely play 3 stars, but grinded my skill ceiling and consistency to the point where i was fcing 5 stars with pretty good acc in 2 weeks. its such good motivation to see urself get better at farming, streaming, alting, etc. by pushing ur skillcap for a couple sessions and then going back to what was previously comfortable to see it being really easy now. 6 months later im currently fcing 6.2-6.6* consistency maps really frequently now. im grinding for my first 400 and ive gotten really close so im hoping a couple weeks of grinding now and ill be able to set some cool 400s and hit 4 digit soon :D
I found this video 2 days into osu and can I just say thank you for telling me to change to alternating, only took me a day to really get it down and everything is so much easier, thank you! :)
I just picked Osu back up last week after taking about 6 years off, and I’m honestly kind of amazed at how much I retained over that time. It only took two or three days for me to start setting pp records. But something I did during those one map grinds was that I would retry spam a little, but if I was resetting in the beginning a lot, I would occasionally (every 5 ish attempts) play through the whole map no matter what, basically so I didn’t forget how to play the end. It was a good mental reset and refresher, and a lot of my good scores come in the attempt one or two after a mental reset run. That being said, I am still absolute gutter trash at the game and am only top 500k because of a SUPER lucky run on a finger control map that got me 148 pp (30 more than my next best play), so this video was very enlightening and I’ll be putting these tips into practice next time I play. Especially the No Fail one. I had no idea NF doesn’t affect pp. This will make learning the end of one particular map I’m thinking of much easier (2 ish easy minutes followed by 30 seconds where I’m barely holding it together and another 30 seconds or minute that is even harder). Great video!
lol that tip 1 hit me personally, I am a mouse player who got a tablet from a generous friend. I tried tablet and in a span of a week I got to somewhere in the level of my mouse skill and I was disgusted by it, So I dropped it and played mouse anyway. It's kinda a flex I know but eh I couldn't care less, I took pain than going at it easy.
@@Shikkesora lmao yeah, Mine was on the self sabotage side but I am glad I did after all I like the pain playing on mouse and so far I have felt happier about it and probably better off for my skill overall as I put all my energy on doing better on it and besides I came in with inspirations from cool mouse players so how could I not xD
Bro this is one of the best improvement videos I’ve ever watch and I hope you keep up the good work man I just recently got into osu! So this helped me a lot. I hit 6 digit in like 5 hours of play time because of this video I really appreciate it. ❤
So happy to hear it! :D Expect more in the future as well. add me in discord "shikkesora" if you have any specific questions i'll be willing to help u!
thank you so much for pointing people to lazer. it blows my mind that some people dont even know it exists, and on top of that, it feels like half the player base doesnt know how most of the new features work. would be even better if you reminded people to run the latency certifier before playing for the first time if theyre a returning player from stable. ;)
I played many rhythm games before, so the entry wasn't too insane. Yet, I still had no clue how to approach osu. The Tablet and Double Tap Trick absolutely did it for me! Finally got the first SS rank by pure coincidence after a total of 6 hours playing! Thanks man! Edit: YES got the second one just a few minutes after!
Ive been playing osu for 2 days, finally realized I could download lazer on mac. I had only played webosu prior to that, so I started around 3 stars, having completed a couple 4 stars now. But post having seen this vid I will return to the 2 stars, grind training maps, and I just ordered a tablet! Thank you for the advice!
This is absolutely the best improvement video I've seen! It has so many very useful tips! For me this video was more useful than all other videos I've seen so far put together (including the hour-long video in the description). I saw a lot of them and was doing it just for fun and I am definitely sure of what I said. Thank you so much for making this wonderful video!! ❤❤❤

@@ShikkesoraAahhh, thank you so much too! I have never gotten such a lovely reply :) Also can you answer me what if I do some kind of retry spam (I really like to shitmiss after a few seconds of the map haha) but it doesn't corrupt my mindset at all? Can I do it just a bit? Or I shouldn't do that at all? And sorry for just a minor thanks of a comment. This video and the amount of your effort definately deserve much more
I did this to learn alternating, pick a map that is easy and single tap on both fingers and on the third try try alternating. I did this and learned alternating
The first tip: I already started switching to tablet today. Definitely a game changer. It’s still not as easy to navigate yet cuz I still haven’t figured out the speed I’m comfortable with yet. Still gotta test that out to see. But other than that, I’ve done 6 songs completely through with just tablet alone today. So that’s some improvement. But yeah! I’m a 7 digit that’s aiming to be a 3 digit one day. That’s why imma watch this video all the way through, cuz I know it’ll help me a lot
Tysm man these are a very helpful tips for me even though I play osu!mania mainly I can understand it and it will help me a ton in improving later. Keep it up bro 👍
While watching this video I realised one pretty funny thing: I played 1.4 years without any tutorials and now I'm watching a video for the newers, even though I have already passed 7* and FCed 6* and more often think about passing 8*. But to be honest, I don't really like tablet. When I play with it, I really miss mouse right button which is my main one (keyboard is more like support for stream bursts and alternating patterns). Actually I play osu using 3 keys and maybe that fact that I didn't watch any tutorials made me to create myown style which suits me the best. But it's kinda funny that I'm watching it right now :)
ive not been playing for 1 day....... ive been playing for 2 days like seriously and the non fail method actually works and im still trying to get used to alting
i downloaded osu again after like 3 years and my accuracy was awful for 4* maps, but instead of playing lower stars maps i just played 4* maps a lot and focussing on accuracy, now i can do 90-96 acc on many 4* maps but not every map :d
I think also a good tip for people starting to play 3-4* maps is to switch between grinding maps you know and just playing random maps 2-3 times and go on to the next for the sake of improving reading skills and extending your pattern library
Pen is a good input for cpmputers. Also, more accuracy is more easier to achieve with a tablet. There are no issues with your sensor tracking failing, or not realising where the cursor is.
The thing about me is: I’m so scared of a bad looking grade, that I REFUSE to finish a beatmap with NF! I just click on a map and try to see how much I can play of it BEFORE I fail. And then the 2 mods that I abuse the most are the RX and AP mods. Yeah! The ones where you click and aim with your mouse. Probably not the best mods. But I think it helps me. Cuz then at one point, I just develop muscle memory for the maps. Oh yeah! HR too as well. Especially when a song is too slow
Some of these tips in your video can also be used for the other games or even thing like doing Gym like you said, I think this video is homely and it may help me and other people like alot. Thank you.
i agree that learning alternate is really good cuz i personally am a full alt and a lot of plays i do today i dont think i would be able to do as easily as it is with alternate. not saying that i couldnt do at all, but just that (i think) it would be harder actually in my opinion alternate is really freaking op when you master it! ive tried to learn singletap and it was actually fun to play with but i dont see me switching to singletap only at all (its cool to use both sometimes tho)
In January I got like 15 accuracy in the big black lol so I stopped because I knew it was really useless to train like that. Now in september I get around 60 accuracy, but still, i feel like it's a waste of time, but it's fun to try
I've played osu for less than a day in the past 2 years. I'm only just now starting to take it kinda seriously, and I can pass 3.5 star and under with complete ease and uncomfortably pass 3.6 to 4.0 star maps so I hope I improve.
Apparently, I’m challenging myself with 3 and above beatmaps now. I can play 2 and get S on them. So now it’s time to move forward. Especially if you want to become a pro one day. Cuz if I only play easy maps, I’ll never get better. That’s why I’m doing the harder stuff. The ones that have jumps, streams, etc
video lowkey gave me a new mindset recently I came back to osu and been playing 0-3.5 multi and its really fun but my main focus when I do that is to fc the map, not have a good accuracy. I also realized im a retry demon cus of the combo part if im doing a map and lose my combo I just leave and look for a new one to play.😂
The tablet tip (as in advice not the pen tip) is so sad to me because im a Jump main and tablet is literally the absolute best thing for jumps and yet i cannot use a tablet because it hurts my hands EXTREMELY BAD, i tried switching grips and all but nothing worked so i just ditched it and am still on mouse Also the fact you learned to alternate AFTER setting 300pp plays is insane to me, as soon as i hit 3 stars i started to alternate because i simply COULD NOT singletap a triple for the life of me
I have the same problem.. it starts to ache after a while, my grip was Probably the issue but i found that i was also performing better on mouse so yeah, mouse it is 😭
im a beginner at the game and i specifically started playing to improve my mouse control and click control... so to see that tip 1 immediately tells you to get a completely different input method not relevant outside of art and osu is honestly pretty demotivating
I understand what you mean, but I didn't say "switch to tablet because there's no other way you can get better at the game" I'm rather saying "almost everyone that is freaking good at this videogame, uses a tablet. so you should try a tablet to see how it goes, if it ends up good or not, at least you tried." If you want to play with your playstyle regardless then this tip is not for you. No one is forcing you to play with tablet.
Recommending to buy something for ~50 total to play a free game as a beginner is crazy. I dont even know of I need to use the Keyboard or mouse to click. Thats the kind of stuff I would expect to be explained here
Hello! That's why I explained in the video, that if you are a complete beginner I advise you to watch other beginner friendly videos about how to set up the most basic stuff. This is an improvement guide :) osu! tablets come as cheap as 16 dollars in amazon if you watch the video! No need to spend 50 dollars. Also I think that it's worth it from my experience and it's a very valuable tip in my opinion. At the end of the day I'm not recommending you a $500 VR headset like in Beat Saber to be better at the game, I am recommending something that has the price of a 1 day dinner that is very affordable (and also sellable if you end up not liking it), that will potentially make A HUGE difference, and save you lots of time. So basically, I don't think "it's crazy" like you said. :) I will take your advice still but I just wanted to clear some possible misconceptions. Thanks for watching and commenting!
nice video tho my osu limit=i can only effectively use one finger at time due lack of blood in my hands(confirmed when doctors tried to take blood from it but didint got any) what means that blood cant transfer enough power and even with one finger,i run out of energy fairly fast and i react too slowly too causing me to be to slow to move and react
Wow thats the first time I hear that, really sucks :( I think you can still work around something very weird like for example theres a guy that taps with his feet Or theres people that use TAP+X
16:28 “UNLESS YOUR’RE TRYING TO GO FOR SNIPE/LEADERBOARD SCORE” (Yeah! That’s literally me! I’m aiming to become a pro one day. That’s why I care so much about a terrible looking grade. The main reason why I REFUSE to use NF. Okay, maybe not refuse refuse. I meant refuse to finish it with NF! I only turn that mod on for however far into the beatmaps. And then just exit and try to play them normally
What rank are you in LOL btw? I just started and still so bad. ARAM is so hard for me 😂. And then I haven’t been playing for like a week now cuz I’ve only been focusing on OSU! That’s the main game that I want to get good at. Not LOL! But I guess you’re right about taking a break when OSU starts feeling like a chore instead of being fun. Maybe it’s time to hop onto LOL just to get my mind back together
i cant for the life of me alter , I've tried so much but I just end up getting confused trying to focus on whats happening in the game and my keys that I just lose the map, and also my biggest problem is those circles that are on top of each other I always end up missing 1 or 2 cause I get so confused and I've practiced altering on those but that's the main reason I miss them, my comfort maps are 3.2-5 stars too.
2 months old player here, thanks for all the tips. Im glad that i was always an alternative player since the start, like i cant even do single tap especially jump, if i accident do single tap on jump, i would immediately fail. It feel so much easier to do alternative. Now my problem is i can do most 5-5.5* stars with more than 90% accuracy, but sometimes there are some map that only 4* or sth i got in multi play with stranger that have the pattern way too hard for me. I did some research and know its kinda like tech map or sth. So should i look for more tech map and learn those map or stick with the old normal one?
It's good to start familiarizing yourself with those lower star rating maps, that are way harder than what they suggest! I wouldn't recommend spending super amounts of time with them. Even though they're low star rating they require good processing speed, aim speed, tapping speed, etc, which you will acquire by playing normal long maps with simpler skillsets like jumps and bursts. Still, the tips from this video are super helpful, like playing those maps you mentioned or playing also like old maps. But prioritize on developing raw skill and consistency for now!
i always played osu on 30 fps bad pc and now switched to a good pc im curently playing 6 stars but as you said i skiped the early stages and my acuracy is so bad i 70% every song bc i was so foucused in speed, and not giving excuses but mouse drift makes it worse, here in brazil a tablet is too expensive but i will try to biy one some day
Muy buen video. Seguí casi todo (todavía abusó el retry spam) y subí hasta 520k en 100h. El mejor tip fue el de no saltar los mapas de 3 y 4 estrellas. Ya después de escalar lentamente puedo jugar mapas de 5.5 -5.8 estrellas
Number 9 is one of the most important... Using someone as the bar to set scores is honestly the best way to improve in all rhythm games. If someone beats you, you get motivated to set higher scores to stay ahead etc. It's also why I quit Osu, cause everyone I compete with stopped so there's no more fun in improving.
So, I wanted to like play Osu more and get decent but i was just bad. Recently I bought a Wacom One at a boot sale and Osu feels entirely different compared to Mouse
I have a tablet but It feels so weird. With the mouse I can feel physically the table and where the mouse is going without looking, but the tablet? I just feel the pen flying, very weird. But I'll try again, thanks, also, Is a 10ms monitor a significant limitation?
I have been full alting since joined game in 2021 and have issues with streaming due to technique is not so good, for the best i recommend learn singletap better first then later at around 4000pp can learn alternate
Okay, now alternating, hmm, I gotta work on that. I can kinda do it. But I’m REALLLY REALLY REALLY bad at it 😂😭. Like, idk when to alternate. So I just do it whenever I feel like it. And apparently, that’s NOT a good thing. Especially when I’m trying to become a 3 digit/2 digit. So yeah
@@paprunia hey! yes it does :) I just checked myself tried playing only 1 minute out of a 4 minute map, it adds 1 minute, tried playing 4 minute map and failing in the end, it gives me 4 minutes Check that you're playing a map that has leaderboard.
I would not recommend a tablet unless sure you want to use it. throwing $40 to $100 or more at a device you might not use is a choice people have the right to make. Do not recommend playing difficulties below your skill level, how does that help anyone? That's boring at most. it be more beneficial to play difficulty over your skill level. you know you will fail but surviving longer is a noticeable skill improvement. I do not recommend Co-op over unless playing friends. if you can't bet 5 stars or 6 stars up you should not play Co-op. You get curve-stomped online and maybe rage-quit. Solo if you fail the song ends meaning you can retry or quit. Co-op might kill your enjoyment, and then drop the game.
do you have a recommendation for keyboard playstyle like how i hit the notes because right now im using base zx alternate but not sure if that is right
i have like 40 hours on osu i alternate only on smurfs or hows it called and I don't even know where is my comfort zone bc I can pass few 5 star maps but I still fail 3 star maps like wtf
right ive been playing for 3 days and cant single tap.. i can only alternate. i have a lot of experience with mobile rhythm games and taiko but was told to try and use both tapping methods but how tf do i do that i can onlyyyy alternate

i downloaded osu again after like 3 years and my accuracy was awful for 4* maps, but instead of playing lower stars maps i just played 4* maps a lot and focussing on accuracy, now i can do 90-96 acc on many 4* maps but not every map :d
I think also a good tip for people starting to play 3-4* maps is to switch between grinding maps you know and just playing random maps 2-3 times and go on to the next for the sake of improving reading skills and extending your pattern library
Pen is a good input for cpmputers. Also, more accuracy is more easier to achieve with a tablet. There are no issues with your sensor tracking failing, or not realising where the cursor is.
currently hardstruck in mania so i decided to take a break and play standard this video is very helpfull
Such a good guide :)
banger and ty for the tips ''the beginner was for me ngl''
The thing about me is: I’m so scared of a bad looking grade, that I REFUSE to finish a beatmap with NF! I just click on a map and try to see how much I can play of it BEFORE I fail. And then the 2 mods that I abuse the most are the RX and AP mods. Yeah! The ones where you click and aim with your mouse. Probably not the best mods. But I think it helps me. Cuz then at one point, I just develop muscle memory for the maps. Oh yeah! HR too as well. Especially when a song is too slow
Some of these tips in your video can also be used for the other games or even thing like doing Gym like you said, I think this video is homely and it may help me and other people like alot. Thank you.
Single tap your feet's on the mat come on!
i agree that learning alternate is really good cuz i personally am a full alt and a lot of plays i do today i dont think i would be able to do as easily as it is with alternate. not saying that i couldnt do at all, but just that (i think) it would be harder
actually in my opinion alternate is really freaking op when you master it! ive tried to learn singletap and it was actually fun to play with but i dont see me switching to singletap only at all (its cool to use both sometimes tho)
I needed this
SO AMAZING VIDEO111!!!!1 ❤❤❤
thanks!
Thanks for making a Good Video
Great vid!
In January I got like 15 accuracy in the big black lol so I stopped because I knew it was really useless to train like that. Now in september I get around 60 accuracy, but still, i feel like it's a waste of time, but it's fun to try
Good job!
"don't play with the default skin." I like it though
I've played osu for less than a day in the past 2 years. I'm only just now starting to take it kinda seriously, and I can pass 3.5 star and under with complete ease and uncomfortably pass 3.6 to 4.0 star maps so I hope I improve.
Good luck
Apparently, I’m challenging myself with 3 and above beatmaps now. I can play 2 and get S on them. So now it’s time to move forward. Especially if you want to become a pro one day. Cuz if I only play easy maps, I’ll never get better. That’s why I’m doing the harder stuff. The ones that have jumps, streams, etc
7:56 i feel called out i have 3 ss total and 94.7% acc
🤣
video lowkey gave me a new mindset recently I came back to osu and been playing 0-3.5 multi and its really fun but my main focus when I do that is to fc the map, not have a good accuracy. I also realized im a retry demon cus of the combo part if im doing a map and lose my combo I just leave and look for a new one to play.😂
training maps really help lol otherwise i wouldve beem stuck doing random slow maps that give me head ache
I bought my first laptop trying to find a new past time when im done studying and have to wait another 4hrs for my next subject
one of the scenes he covers the letter P in pass LMAO
Yoooo
The tablet tip (as in advice not the pen tip) is so sad to me because im a Jump main and tablet is literally the absolute best thing for jumps and yet i cannot use a tablet because it hurts my hands EXTREMELY BAD, i tried switching grips and all but nothing worked so i just ditched it and am still on mouse
Also the fact you learned to alternate AFTER setting 300pp plays is insane to me, as soon as i hit 3 stars i started to alternate because i simply COULD NOT singletap a triple for the life of me
I think he meant full alternating, I don't think you're supposed to singletap triples
I have the same problem.. it starts to ache after a while, my grip was Probably the issue but i found that i was also performing better on mouse so yeah, mouse it is 😭
A head to remove the rubber part of my pen, cause it kept slipping and hurting my hand
omw to download the 100gb folder thanks for telling me where to find it. thanks!
Funny because I began to learn how to alt and single tap on my own and it's pretty fun!
im a beginner at the game and i specifically started playing to improve my mouse control and click control... so to see that tip 1 immediately tells you to get a completely different input method not relevant outside of art and osu is honestly pretty demotivating
I understand what you mean, but I didn't say "switch to tablet because there's no other way you can get better at the game"
I'm rather saying "almost everyone that is freaking good at this videogame, uses a tablet. so you should try a tablet to see how it goes, if it ends up good or not, at least you tried."
If you want to play with your playstyle regardless then this tip is not for you. No one is forcing you to play with tablet.
I don't know if you still check the comments but this video has helped me a lot as a beginner 🙏
Of course! :D
I'm glad I helped :)
You should check the new video!
@@Shikkesora will do,thanks for the quality content 🙏
I love how this dude related osu to other stuff lmfaoo
What
@@Shikkesora What
Bro, with number 3 the only reason I started and stuck with full alt because of my OCD
Gracias por los tips. Me sorprendio ver la bandera de mi pais cuando mostraste el perfil in game. PD: Es tremendo tu ingles

Recommending to buy something for ~50 total to play a free game as a beginner is crazy. I dont even know of I need to use the Keyboard or mouse to click. Thats the kind of stuff I would expect to be explained here
Hello! That's why I explained in the video, that if you are a complete beginner I advise you to watch other beginner friendly videos about how to set up the most basic stuff. This is an improvement guide :)
osu! tablets come as cheap as 16 dollars in amazon if you watch the video! No need to spend 50 dollars. Also I think that it's worth it from my experience and it's a very valuable tip in my opinion. At the end of the day I'm not recommending you a $500 VR headset like in Beat Saber to be better at the game, I am recommending something that has the price of a 1 day dinner that is very affordable (and also sellable if you end up not liking it), that will potentially make A HUGE difference, and save you lots of time. So basically, I don't think "it's crazy" like you said. :)
I will take your advice still but I just wanted to clear some possible misconceptions. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was trying osu! cuz Projekt sekai got kinda boring
But I had no clue how this works before the video
Thanks for the tutorial
nice video tho
my osu limit=i can only effectively use one finger at time due lack of blood in my hands(confirmed when doctors tried to take blood from it but didint got any) what means that blood cant transfer enough power and even with one finger,i run out of energy fairly fast and i react too slowly too causing me to be to slow to move and react
Wow thats the first time I hear that, really sucks :(
I think you can still work around something very weird like for example theres a guy that taps with his feet
Or theres people that use TAP+X
ah I am a laptop and tablet user
just spamming X and moving my finger across the touchpad
or banging my tablet with my stylus
TouchPad is super bad for osu x_x

16:28 “UNLESS YOUR’RE TRYING TO GO FOR SNIPE/LEADERBOARD SCORE”
(Yeah! That’s literally me! I’m aiming to become a pro one day. That’s why I care so much about a terrible looking grade. The main reason why I REFUSE to use NF. Okay, maybe not refuse refuse. I meant refuse to finish it with NF! I only turn that mod on for however far into the beatmaps. And then just exit and try to play them normally
What rank are you in LOL btw? I just started and still so bad. ARAM is so hard for me 😂. And then I haven’t been playing for like a week now cuz I’ve only been focusing on OSU! That’s the main game that I want to get good at. Not LOL! But I guess you’re right about taking a break when OSU starts feeling like a chore instead of being fun. Maybe it’s time to hop onto LOL just to get my mind back together
Good thing I'm a naturally alternate player I can't stand the single tap i can single tap i just don't want to do it
@@Arukushitai3760 well singletapping is still good to develop base speed, so doing it still has its benefits! Doing both is the perfect balance
Tysm :D
I was thinking if I play Osu on a tablet, and I'm left handed, should the tablet on my left side as well?
Yes! should be better but always try whats the best for you :)
gracias por los tips espero mejorar pronto en osu
d nada veve
i cant for the life of me alter , I've tried so much but I just end up getting confused trying to focus on whats happening in the game and my keys that I just lose the map, and also my biggest problem is those circles that are on top of each other I always end up missing 1 or 2 cause I get so confused and I've practiced altering on those but that's the main reason I miss them, my comfort maps are 3.2-5 stars too.
dm me to "shikkesora" discord ID, i will help u :D
2 months old player here, thanks for all the tips. Im glad that i was always an alternative player since the start, like i cant even do single tap especially jump, if i accident do single tap on jump, i would immediately fail. It feel so much easier to do alternative. Now my problem is i can do most 5-5.5* stars with more than 90% accuracy, but sometimes there are some map that only 4* or sth i got in multi play with stranger that have the pattern way too hard for me. I did some research and know its kinda like tech map or sth. So should i look for more tech map and learn those map or stick with the old normal one?
It's good to start familiarizing yourself with those lower star rating maps, that are way harder than what they suggest!
I wouldn't recommend spending super amounts of time with them. Even though they're low star rating they require good processing speed, aim speed, tapping speed, etc, which you will acquire by playing normal long maps with simpler skillsets like jumps and bursts. Still, the tips from this video are super helpful, like playing those maps you mentioned or playing also like old maps. But prioritize on developing raw skill and consistency for now!
i always played osu on 30 fps bad pc and now switched to a good pc im curently playing 6 stars but as you said i skiped the early stages and my acuracy is so bad i 70% every song bc i was so foucused in speed, and not giving excuses but mouse drift makes it worse, here in brazil a tablet is too expensive but i will try to biy one some day
Muy buen video. Seguí casi todo (todavía abusó el retry spam) y subí hasta 520k en 100h. El mejor tip fue el de no saltar los mapas de 3 y 4 estrellas. Ya después de escalar lentamente puedo jugar mapas de 5.5 -5.8 estrellas
Voy por 370K
I can now do 4 stars thanks to thus vid
I've been playing this fucking game for over 7 years and i still cant beat 6 star maps
@@imtired9444 it doesn't matter how many years, playtime and effort does!
Number 9 is one of the most important...
Using someone as the bar to set scores is honestly the best way to improve in all rhythm games. If someone beats you, you get motivated to set higher scores to stay ahead etc.
It's also why I quit Osu, cause everyone I compete with stopped so there's no more fun in improving.
I agree! :D
I hope you can find someone to compete with :(
I skipped the low star maps lol I just played 4* HT… 1 SS to date
So, I wanted to like play Osu more and get decent but i was just bad. Recently I bought a Wacom One at a boot sale and Osu feels entirely different compared to Mouse
@@hekki153 if you need help hit me up in discord! ID: "Shikkesora", without the "" of course.
I have a tablet but It feels so weird. With the mouse I can feel physically the table and where the mouse is going without looking, but the tablet? I just feel the pen flying, very weird. But I'll try again, thanks, also, Is a 10ms monitor a significant limitation?
@@victorlima6113 because you need to install drivers!!!! Install opentabletdriver. Search for tutorials if you need help. :)
10ms is a lot yes!!
@@Shikkesora oh, I already have the drivers installed, It's just the feel that's weird hahahha, but I'll try more, thanks
The first map I added shoulder boulders 💀💀💀💀
I have been full alting since joined game in 2021 and have issues with streaming due to technique is not so good, for the best i recommend learn singletap better first then later at around 4000pp can learn alternate
thx
Okay, now alternating, hmm, I gotta work on that. I can kinda do it. But I’m REALLLY REALLY REALLY bad at it 😂😭. Like, idk when to alternate. So I just do it whenever I feel like it. And apparently, that’s NOT a good thing. Especially when I’m trying to become a 3 digit/2 digit. So yeah
when you fail the map then to your porfile you dont get play time only plays and total score * 17:50
it does
@@Shikkesora no you dont i even check it twice when i was writing it when you fail like on 1/2 of 4m map you dont get this 2mins to your playtime
@@paprunia hey!
yes it does :) I just checked myself
tried playing only 1 minute out of a 4 minute map, it adds 1 minute, tried playing 4 minute map and failing in the end, it gives me 4 minutes
Check that you're playing a map that has leaderboard.
Got any tips for me? I played 2-3 star maps and got a lot of S ranks but with 4 star maps I keep choking a ranks and S ranks
I would not recommend a tablet unless sure you want to use it. throwing $40 to $100 or more at a device you might not use is a choice people have the right to make.
Do not recommend playing difficulties below your skill level, how does that help anyone? That's boring at most. it be more beneficial to play difficulty over your skill level. you know you will fail but surviving longer is a noticeable skill improvement.
I do not recommend Co-op over unless playing friends. if you can't bet 5 stars or 6 stars up you should not play Co-op. You get curve-stomped online and maybe rage-quit. Solo if you fail the song ends meaning you can retry or quit. Co-op might kill your enjoyment, and then drop the game.
You're free to play the game however you want!
You can also make your own video about improvement tips! :D
for me alternating was way easier than single tapping
if you started alternating early on, then yes, makes sense!~
do you have a recommendation for keyboard playstyle like how i hit the notes because right now im using base zx alternate but not sure if that is right
its good! I recommend trying more keys or playing for example with different fingers (like Z and C, using your ring and your index finger)
First play with 2*+hr and now stuck at 5-6 star😢 and 100k rank damn
i have like 40 hours on osu i alternate only on smurfs or hows it called and I don't even know where is my comfort zone bc I can pass few 5 star maps but I still fail 3 star maps like wtf

right ive been playing for 3 days and cant single tap.. i can only alternate. i have a lot of experience with mobile rhythm games and taiko but was told to try and use both tapping methods but how tf do i do that i can onlyyyy alternate
