We need more videos in how to improve the mental than how to "improve at x thing in the game", I was in the top 500 not long ago (decayed mainly for mental barriers i'd assume cuz i stopped being able to set any plays at all or gain ranks) and this video genuinely motivated me again, I feel like this video does a much better job at helping anyone than any of those tutorials
Thinking about it now, quitting osu (playing it seriously) was the best thing that happened to me. I used to be 6 digits for like a long time, mostly playing dt farm maps (which i later regret) and at the time I wanted to set unrealistic goals in such a small amount of time coz I kept hearing about other players are improving really fast. My mental health deteriorated; comparing myself to other pro players, wanting to be a pro myself without actually understanding the game at first and going with the basics. Furthermore, i just kept doing horrible in the game and my rage for the game was starting to affect me mentally and also I had a horrible addiction to the game. I decided to self ban myself by multi accounting and reporting myself to osu!support which was the best thing coz rn I’m doing well in life, I met tons of amazing friends and I was able to improve on myself. P.S. If the game is hurting you mentally, physically and is taking a toll on you, just quit but I don’t suggest self-banning yourself.
by such logic i should do nothing if absolutely everything in this life affecting me metally in a bad way and only hurting me instead of giving any joy and comfort? (well, this is exactly what i'm doing anyway, i can tell you that such life is hell, not only life is pointless and you will die, but also you have nothing in this life, which makes it worse)
"I'm not improving fast anymore" is the #1 motivation killer I see amongst new players, and it's always because they're comparing themselves to the improvement of other people. Not everyone will be able to reach the top, and that's fine. Personally, the intrinsic fun of clicking circles is enough to keep me playing.
I started actively in 2020, since I reached 5 digits I stopped grinding. For 2 years I didn't really gain pp. Today I only play for fun. I think players should see this game more casually and not your main goal in your life. I think having fun is the most important thing in osu and in life.
Played since 2016 and decided to "quit" when I started entering senior high school but I'm now playing mainly on osu!lazer and still a 6 digit. Oh how my life has changed while playing this game...

Even when I was playing maps that I found fun I would constantly be thinking about pp and rank instead of actually having fun
My goal when i started playing was to become a 5 digit and ever since i achieved that ive kinda just felt lost when playing, not knowing what to play or where to improve, and just aimlessly play whatever looks interesting as i scroll through my maps, ive tried creating a new goal for myself that is relatively attainable, set a 300pp score, but this becomes exponentially more difficult because of a neurological condition that affects how i experience stress in that there is no regulation in the release of stress hormones, resulting in upwards of 4x the amount of cortisol and adrenaline given a similar situation to an allistic person(the main reason im more of a pass player), this has caused minor medical complications in the past from playing the game /setting or choking scores and i really dont think continuing playing would be worth it for my medical wellbeing but i still keep playing because ive played for quite a while and i don’t want to just leave it all behind me. I really don’t know what to do/where to go from here, i know the best thing would probably be to just quit but this is OSU! we are talking about we all know that is borderline impossible. Any pieces of advice would mean a lot🙏
Even if i am not interested in the topic of video i still watch his video because the way he talk puts me in ease it is just another type of asmr to me lol
I think the play more advice actually does the opposite when it comes to improving fast in this game… overtime i get bad habits when it comes to mental or playstyle after playing too much consistently so i take week to month breaks. If feels good to play again after a while, with the added bonus of playing a little better.
Average PP farmer: "I sparsely play for 3 years and got capped in rank, should I quit?" Average game enjoyer: "I actively play for 5+ years and remain 6 digit, not a single regret"
My 4 digit friend told me to just accept that it will take me months or even years to improve, accepting that I AM NOT kamensh1k, ivaxa, gnahus, cloutiful and any other permazoomer kid with unfathomable improvement rate. This advice took the pressure off and now i just play for fun even tho ill never reach those guys level…
I’ve also played for 3 years (3.5 actually) and am still 5 digit. I know full well I’m mental gapped but I also was forced to become a casual and haven’t gained any pp since. It really is what it is and I’m not too worried about it. Would still be nice to fc a lot of maps I’ve had my sights on and I’ll work on that when I have the energy to do so
i quit this game after getting bored and am now playing itg (ddr on stepmania) and chunithm lol. thanks osu for being the gateway drug into rhythm games.
I'm 21, but age doesn't matter here; it's about the fact that I'm deeply suffering. Everything I loved and enjoyed eventually lost its appeal because I was so lonely. I used to love spending time alone with my hobbies-fishing, exercising, playing video games-but at some point, it became so unbearable not to have been loved that I broke down. No hobbies bring me joy anymore. I've become bad at everything, and now I'm the worst version of myself. The worst part is I can't change it because in late 2019, I had a stroke, and since then, my vision has been ruined (I see a constant visual snow in front of my eyes, 24/7), leading to daily fainting spells because it's extremely exhausting. I remember back in 2018 when I woke up every day for my hobbies and was passionate about them; that passion dwindled. I spent more and more time just lying in bed, cuddling with my blanket, imagining it was the girl of my dreams, and eventually, I broke down. That was it. Since late 2019, I've been essentially dead. Now it's just an empty existence until my body dies; my true self died in 2019. It's very cruel and frustrating for me. It's also sad that no one wanted me when I was a good version of myself. I understand that no one wants me now and no one loves me; I'm ruined. But BACK THEN, I could have found healing-affection, love... RIP. to this day... I'm rotting on my discord server... alone, and dreaming about being together with angela tiger (changed name to angela manjusaka) ........ I loved her in 2018 and now I suffer about her.... ooouh....
Honestly an awesome video, as a 6 digit for 4 years i genuinely have went through the stage of ''i have to warm up with this and this'' etc. I dont have a huge playcount which is why im so low rank, but i have learned that osu is just a game that i like playing from time to time, and ever since i acknowledged that, i started improving quiet rapidly, perhaps the fastest i have ever lol.
I recently quit osu completely. And you know what ? That's the best decision I have ever made. I've been playing osu since 2017, spend around 2k hours in total, and recently I have been thinking wtf I'm doing, spending 5+ hours on a game every single day, so I decided to quit and focus on my life, now I'm on my way on starting a business and gonna grind money from now on. And for someone who reads this: osu is not worth playing a lot, cybersport scene is so small in that game, so you're not gonna make a lot of money here, so just play it on a weekends for 1 - 2 hours, and focus more on your life. New osu tip: play less.
Even the best players have 1 year gaps at times where they barely played. I find it very important to take breaks to let the training sink in and then start with a fresh mind again. Helped me many times
6 years of somewhat consistent gameplay, 20k here. I was 25k just 3 days ago and something just clicked for me, I found myself able to play through nerves and fc things previously though impossible unless I improved more... but I did it. For anyone wanting to rank up, just keep going and playing new maps, styles of maps, and increasing local scores, even if by just a few combo or thousand score, every little bit counts.
Started playing osu in 2016. It's been one hell of a rollercoaster. Started on standard for 1 hour. Quit the game cause the gamemode was boring but noticed that mania existed. Found it interesting and took it from there. I played a lot until my parents stopped me from playing the game, so my playcount from 2017-2020 i believe was zero. However during that time I was playing on games like stepmania, then malody. Around 2018 is where I found standard more interesting and started playing offline. Eventually I found mcosu and exclusively played offline for a really long time. Came back to osu officially and farmed my way to high five digit. 90k. My mania rank was lower half of 4 digit but decayed heavily since then because I didn't submit anything. Fast forward to beginning of 2023. I decided I didn't want to be the stereotypical offline player that is capable of playing higher star rating but inconsistent on his actual star range. Additionally, I've been playing the game so long on mcosu that I didn't want to be the type to only be good at mcosu. So I started farming. Now im a few ranks from top 15k and 4 digit doesn't seem that hard. During my whole time playing osu, I took so many breaks and had my interest spread out into mania. Additionally I have a life outside of osu, at one point getting heavily invested in sports and on the team during highschool so naturally I just stopped playing all together. I have never had a month where I played the game consistently especially now that I am in college, but its extremely satisfying to see the improvement while not taking the game too seriously and just going with thr flow. Whenever I want to play, I do. Some months I rarely play to focus on school or I don't feel like it. My goal was to get my standard rank pass my mania rank (although it has heavily decayed) by the end of the year. I have done that and I'm super happy because my skill at mania has always been heavily ahead of standard, although I don't play mania anymore because it's too much for my hands. After enough years of playing this game. I've just learned to enjoy my time and accept I'll improve at my own rate so no rush. I have so many other things to focus on other than osu, and I still improve on an incline so really no rush😂

are u telling me that after 7 years of playing u are still 5 digit
Same. I was frustrated with being good enough to pass 8 star maps, while only being able to FC 4 and 5 star maps. Not being rewarded at all for passing hard maps was demotivating, and playing 5 star maps was just too boring. So now I'm only playing with Relax and it's fun as hell - it's just sad how completely uncompetitive it is... they could at least add a Relax leaderboard or something.
I don't play osu!standard but this is such good advice for every single rhythm game out there. So many people thinking about how to improve rather than actually doing it lol.
I remember getting under 30k rank and feeling amazing. But I realized that my wrists were hurting after 1-2 maps. I couldn't continue playing Osu even though the competition was really fun. I miss Osu, I still get recommended these videos. I don't think a game is worth permanently hurting my body however.
Same! But I think the problem is with my eyesight. (Ayy cookiezi duo, hand and eye problem) Basically I can't focus on the map and aim properly or my eyes start to hurt and I miss so I can never play too much. :( I hope I get eye surgery or something one day and pop off crazy
part of me thinks that if i spam aim farm maps i could reach 5 digit (currently ~200k) but the thing is- I dont like ringtone/tv size farm maps. i dont like farming maps I dont even enjoy. So I dont bother. Im good to delay an arbitrary rank gain so I can improve in a way that makes me happy with myself
This feels like a constant cycle between I want to improve and If I can't improve, instead of sitting there and looking up videos I sit down, think about it, sit back and just not care about improvement, because improvement will come one day and burning yourself out, because negativity and not having fun, it's just not worth forcing yourself, it's not worth comparing yourself to others, it's not worth to smash yourself against a brick wall, the improvement video craze is not worth looking into, i just look back at scores and go "What can I immediately approve upon, and what may be a bit more difficult to learn?" that is the mindset I've taken with at least mania, if I can't do it and start being negative? I take a break, play a different skillset or play with friends.
What happened to me was that i always overthinked that i was stucked at my skill gap, just stuck and stuck, but i didn't even notice when i got my first 600pp, then my 650, and now im close to 700, without even glancing at my improvement, it's crazy how your brain can play you in the worst possible way
i quit the game a little over a month ago, came back exactly a week ago and it feels very refreshing. i started with offline play for a little bit because i quit for the exact reason that i cared too much about my rank and used that as a representation of my improvement. this goes to anyone having the problem, whether if you're 6 digit, 5 digit, or even something higher than that. DO NOT USE YOUR RANK AS A REPRESENTATION OF SKILL (or top plays). once i started playing again, i was getting better scores on maps that i couldn't do BEFORE i quit, which was right around when i peaked in overall skill. its all in your head. also the genetics thing, that is completely wrong. everyone has the potential, but if you get stuck on unhealthy mindsets, it will absolutely destroy the experience. don't shoot yourself down for a flaw that you can fix. and no that doesn't mean grind over 8 hours every day relentlessly, that will ruin the game for you (and probably your hand). acknowledging your problem is step one, but it won't go away until you find a solution. i probably didn't need to write this comment but i feel like some people may need it still. i hope this helped at least someone even if its just one person.
As soon as I cleared Alpha Dan, I basically lost all interest in the game outright because I could barely pass Beta. (Yes I'm talking about mania here) I felt genetically locked but also a little bit strict because there were younger players than me in the same country (Great Britain) that were excelling their best and they're like, late-teenagers or even adults. Whenever I tried to improve, I entered a depression. Not because I wasn't getting anywhere, not because I was trying too hard, and not out of jealousy. It always invoked this response since 2019. I had no idea where to go next, so I only just went to playing it every now and again. Every time I boot up the game to play it again I realise I made the right choice. I'm not getting any better, and I don't really want to. I'm not even in the top 8,000. Well, I was for a while, but then my account got banned falsely and I couldn't appeal it. But the game is just not fun anymore.
Ever since I stop comparing myself to the average 5 digit (6 digit derankers) I started having alot more fun just doing whatever I want, I just play, have fun, and sometimes set some plays. It's allways about the journey as you said.
I think a lot of the people in the osu! Community need to take breaks more often. Stop blaming the game for bad mental habbits, and get your life in check. Learn that osu! And gaming in general can be and will become an addiction without moderation. Haven’t watched the video yet, maybe I’ll edit this comment if this is covered. This is just based off of the title alone and my own experience in the community. Hope everyone is doing okay, happy new years everyone. ❤
Right now I'm stuck completely still, I'm deranking like crazy, and the only thing holding me back is my tapping, it's worsening over time, and recently, my tapping technique is completely dead compared to 5 months ago.
The same thing happens to me! It actually gets so bad that sometimes when I try to play my top scores again I ask myself "Did I really do this? This is so hard."
I started playing in 2019. I dont know anyone that plays osu. I play almost everyday, at least weekly. I love it, i have a blast playing. I suck at the game. But I enjoy it so much. And I didnt think i was ever gonna be like to play the maps that I play. I love it and i want to get better, but 99% of the time I play, im just blasting music out loud and playing. I know most people are probably not like me.
Why you Should QUIT osu? Anser: Even cookiezi which play a lot DT can't stream 300BPM like aetrna. How to solve: Reincarnation or play casually or quit it. I'm W#301 in 2016 can't stream 240BPM, when I saw Niko dominating speed map, I knew there would be faster ones in the future, truth is always cruel, so I choose to be a clown. lol
i dont re4ally think im having fun that much and i think i should quit, but i know that the reasopn for that is also only because of the reasons you listed. so ill be taking a break, and then just dont give an f about anything in osu anymore except maybe how ill have more fun.
I have 500+ hours and i'm still 257000 player. I'm also playing mouse cuz tablets are uncomfotable for me (i tried many times, screamed like a madman and than sweatch back to the mouse). For me its hard to play jumps, even 5.0 stars. I think am mostly playing for pp and sometimes just passing some random speedy maps. I cant understand how to play jumps, for me speed is much easier. I can just play for 1 hour and than i'll be ready to play speed map but its not working for jumps at all. I dont even remember when i enjoyed OSU, thats because i cant play the easiest map set - jumps, they to...''random'' for me. Jumps also very boring to play (most of the times). i think low bpm one are cool but maping on those are sometimes cursed af.
I play since 2014 and I never really quit the game, and when I say it to friends that had a much faster improvement than me and one of them say "you have a big mental" I'm just like "I just can tell like 10 games I try harded more than osu!" because osu! may be one of the longest game I played alongside 2 other (minecraft in 2012-2013 and destiny in 2014 2 month before osu!) I played much more time in these game than osu! and I eventually quit forever for these 2 games, but not osu!, because I don't care that much about leaderboard and I have fun when I want to play (even if sometime I like pp and farming) I like improving but osu! will never be my main game, when I play osu! I play a lot every day for 2 week and I quit for 1-2 month and I restart the process, I have never hit 2K playcount in a month except the 2 month I received my tablet in 2018, and I know if I want to improve I need to play more than that and not quitting after 2 week of playing. So personally, there will be no for what or when should I quit, because I never really played the game and osu! is just a second game for me, so my mental will never be damaged by someone else or something.
I reached 5 digit in less than a year. Now I'm still 5 digit, I've already played 1800+ hours since that moment and my skill is only getting worse, I probably tried everything to improve my skill, but nothing helps. This game doesn't bring the same pleasure that it used to, so lately I've been thinking about quitting osu!
I recently "pushed pashed my limits", doing 5 stars, and actually being able to beat some! I thought i was only capable four stars, but i guess i just wasnt trying hard enough. I also ended up playing a few 6*, jump maps, to obviously which i have some ways to go... im at 600k right now, and my arm hurts from a few days ago, when i used like all of my energy... and my tapping ability is probably going to be damaged for a while for gaming too hard hahaha.. i literally spent 9 hours on the game, and im pretty washed because of my arm, even though i do infact stretch before each osu session... so yeah i have some ways to go until i can actually do 5*'s comfortably without actively hurting my arms n such
nice clickbait also for every new osu player out there depending what you suck at in osu aim: try lift a little you get suprized how much easier aim can get with a little bit of workout tapping: play more! alternating/streams: some people think spamming stream maps will improve your alternating and accuracy but all it does it help your stamina, if you want more control then practise single tapping with the finger you feel is way worse at keeping your consistancy let's say you tap with your index finger as main finger but you only tap with middle finger when its a triple or stream, try fc maps using your middle finger as the main finger, it makes your streaming much easier in the future if you practise for 1 week, that means start streams and triples with your middle finger aswell and no, don't just play maps just to pass them, try to SS those maps you already managed to SS with index finger as main finger with middle finger instead as main finger your alternating will automaticly get way better aswell doing this, as you will understand how to continue alternating tricky and quick bpm triples with doubles and single taps with alternating if you practise that way AR 0 - 8 reading: get some glasses i guess, or get that easy mod activated and practise AR 10 reading: force yourself to play hardrock for months, it will make dt accuracy look like a joke when you're done AR 10.1 - 11: play dt but tbh i don't recommend it unless you wanna risk destroying your eyes for the future FL: if you have a good memorie then enjoy, have no clue how people get good at that shit, -gn is blessed for sure and every other person that can fl 1000+ combo on 5 star maps
Im 53k with no 300 play yet. Im not trying to go for it though I just continue to play because I enjoy the game. If it happens it happens but if not theb im not worried
Yeah i think allot of improvment advice is bs besides maybe map suggestions, but otherwise it really is just "keep practicing until you eventually i get it". I personally struggle allot with comparing myself with other players and getting upset when i get passed by someone for the 6th time this month. Watching everyone seem to magically just get it does not help when you feel like you're giving it your all and seeing the same results. But thats just life ig, and regardless i just like the gameplay and want to be able to play harder maps. How others improve really shouldn't effect that.
I'm convinced that the one 6 digit guy that recommended promethean kings as a map to practice streaming with and got gunga views set osu players back multiple years
i simply improve when I'm enjoying the game, it's ironic how i actually stop improving when i actually focus on improving, i just go look up graveyarded maps for songs i love and then play a map i like 100s of time and end up improving, i never force myself to play if I don't feel like it
I’ve been playing for 2yrs now and am high 5 digit. I feel like I’ve sorta hit my skill ceiling which I’m fine with, and lately I just play songs/maps that are genuinely fun for me. The thought of grinding to try and become a 4 digit one day kinda stresses me out cause everyone seems so cracked now lol

I'm 21, but age doesn't matter here; it's about the fact that I'm deeply suffering. Everything I loved and enjoyed eventually lost its appeal because I was so lonely. I used to love spending time alone with my hobbies-fishing, exercising, playing video games-but at some point, it became so unbearable not to have been loved that I broke down. No hobbies bring me joy anymore. I've become bad at everything, and now I'm the worst version of myself. The worst part is I can't change it because in late 2019, I had a stroke, and since then, my vision has been ruined (I see a constant visual snow in front of my eyes, 24/7), leading to daily fainting spells because it's extremely exhausting. I remember back in 2018 when I woke up every day for my hobbies and was passionate about them; that passion dwindled. I spent more and more time just lying in bed, cuddling with my blanket, imagining it was the girl of my dreams, and eventually, I broke down. That was it. Since late 2019, I've been essentially dead. Now it's just an empty existence until my body dies; my true self died in 2019. It's very cruel and frustrating for me. It's also sad that no one wanted me when I was a good version of myself. I understand that no one wants me now and no one loves me; I'm ruined. But BACK THEN, I could have found healing-affection, love... RIP.
to this day... I'm rotting on my discord server... alone, and dreaming about being together with angela tiger (changed name to angela manjusaka) ........ I loved her in 2018 and now I suffer about her.... ooouh....
"See you next time"
I DID COOKIEZI METHOD NOW MY LIFE 10X BETTER
i quit 3 years ago and just can’t get into osu anymore
don't get into osu then
Nice try but there's no escaping the circle of 'See you next time'
After playing the game for 4 years and hitting 3 digit i can definetly say that those improvement videos were absolute garbage
I play for funsies
Pass
already did 👍
can i get a kiss?
stop playing osu, bros
Play gd instead. Way better imo
I cant. nobody can.
lmfao
I did it
@@RayqF5 thats false. you are watching osu content, thats not quitting.
@@ChaosEater39you haven't quit smoking, you still see your dad smoke everyday
@@junjun8855 thats right, you're a passive smoker now
you are a real one for putting up actual advice that resonates with aspects other than osu , keep up the good work mr spazza
Honestly an awesome video, as a 6 digit for 4 years i genuinely have went through the stage of ''i have to warm up with this and this'' etc. I dont have a huge playcount which is why im so low rank, but i have learned that osu is just a game that i like playing from time to time, and ever since i acknowledged that, i started improving quiet rapidly, perhaps the fastest i have ever lol.
while i was reading your comment, it was like i'm watching myself into a mirror lmao
haha glad that you had a very similar experience@@dinasblt4917
I really needed this video tonight ngl. Thanks for putting my head back on track spazza
I recently quit osu completely. And you know what ? That's the best decision I have ever made. I've been playing osu since 2017, spend around 2k hours in total, and recently I have been thinking wtf I'm doing, spending 5+ hours on a game every single day, so I decided to quit and focus on my life, now I'm on my way on starting a business and gonna grind money from now on. And for someone who reads this: osu is not worth playing a lot, cybersport scene is so small in that game, so you're not gonna make a lot of money here, so just play it on a weekends for 1 - 2 hours, and focus more on your life. New osu tip: play less.
Even the best players have 1 year gaps at times where they barely played. I find it very important to take breaks to let the training sink in and then start with a fresh mind again. Helped me many times
6 years of somewhat consistent gameplay, 20k here. I was 25k just 3 days ago and something just clicked for me, I found myself able to play through nerves and fc things previously though impossible unless I improved more... but I did it. For anyone wanting to rank up, just keep going and playing new maps, styles of maps, and increasing local scores, even if by just a few combo or thousand score, every little bit counts.
Started playing osu in 2016. It's been one hell of a rollercoaster. Started on standard for 1 hour. Quit the game cause the gamemode was boring but noticed that mania existed. Found it interesting and took it from there. I played a lot until my parents stopped me from playing the game, so my playcount from 2017-2020 i believe was zero. However during that time I was playing on games like stepmania, then malody. Around 2018 is where I found standard more interesting and started playing offline. Eventually I found mcosu and exclusively played offline for a really long time. Came back to osu officially and farmed my way to high five digit. 90k. My mania rank was lower half of 4 digit but decayed heavily since then because I didn't submit anything. Fast forward to beginning of 2023. I decided I didn't want to be the stereotypical offline player that is capable of playing higher star rating but inconsistent on his actual star range. Additionally, I've been playing the game so long on mcosu that I didn't want to be the type to only be good at mcosu. So I started farming. Now im a few ranks from top 15k and 4 digit doesn't seem that hard.
During my whole time playing osu, I took so many breaks and had my interest spread out into mania. Additionally I have a life outside of osu, at one point getting heavily invested in sports and on the team during highschool so naturally I just stopped playing all together. I have never had a month where I played the game consistently especially now that I am in college, but its extremely satisfying to see the improvement while not taking the game too seriously and just going with thr flow. Whenever I want to play, I do. Some months I rarely play to focus on school or I don't feel like it.
My goal was to get my standard rank pass my mania rank (although it has heavily decayed) by the end of the year. I have done that and I'm super happy because my skill at mania has always been heavily ahead of standard, although I don't play mania anymore because it's too much for my hands.
After enough years of playing this game. I've just learned to enjoy my time and accept I'll improve at my own rate so no rush. I have so many other things to focus on other than osu, and I still improve on an incline so really no rush😂
are u telling me that after 7 years of playing u are still 5 digit
Good one@
@ yessir, on the train to 4 digit 🫡
I've been "stuck" at 120k for a good couple years but the reality is, I stopped farming and actively avoid farm maps now lol
Same. I was frustrated with being good enough to pass 8 star maps, while only being able to FC 4 and 5 star maps.
Not being rewarded at all for passing hard maps was demotivating, and playing 5 star maps was just too boring.
So now I'm only playing with Relax and it's fun as hell - it's just sad how completely uncompetitive it is... they could at least add a Relax leaderboard or something.
@@DylanLCutshall pretty sure there will be relax leaderboards in lazer
@@DylanLCutshall if you want a more competitive experience with relax, try playing on akatsuki
@@wohnieosu okay let's go?!! haven't tried Lazer yet. seems like a big hassle to switch
@@DylanLCutshallplay on akatsuki or whatever it’s called there is a relax leaderboard and it’s quite competitive from what I’ve seen
I don't play osu!standard but this is such good advice for every single rhythm game out there. So many people thinking about how to improve rather than actually doing it lol.
I started playing about 4 years ago and I have no genetics for it, but I'm still improving and enjoying it, always have.
sisyphus grindset lmao.
I don't know, I'm just playing everything.
Play more, enjoy game.
I can not even rage, I'm having fun.
I have 661 hours and im still 5 digit, do not get demotivated because you arent skyrocketing in rank like mrekk did when he started playing
I hope all people with bad mental see this, this is just the best info on the current osu situation and I'm happy someone big puts it out there
The way he started off staring at the camera like LowTierGod.....man i thought it was over.
I remember getting under 30k rank and feeling amazing. But I realized that my wrists were hurting after 1-2 maps. I couldn't continue playing Osu even though the competition was really fun. I miss Osu, I still get recommended these videos. I don't think a game is worth permanently hurting my body however.
Same! But I think the problem is with my eyesight. (Ayy cookiezi duo, hand and eye problem) Basically I can't focus on the map and aim properly or my eyes start to hurt and I miss so I can never play too much. :(
I hope I get eye surgery or something one day and pop off crazy
part of me thinks that if i spam aim farm maps i could reach 5 digit (currently ~200k)
but the thing is- I dont like ringtone/tv size farm maps. i dont like farming maps I dont even enjoy. So I dont bother. Im good to delay an arbitrary rank gain so I can improve in a way that makes me happy with myself
Honestly just download a bunch of map packs and play the maps, foreground eclipse and demetori are my favourite just because the music is awesome
This feels like a constant cycle between I want to improve and If I can't improve, instead of sitting there and looking up videos
I sit down, think about it, sit back and just not care about improvement, because improvement will come one day and burning yourself out, because negativity and not having fun, it's just not worth forcing yourself, it's not worth comparing yourself to others, it's not worth to smash yourself against a brick wall, the improvement video craze is not worth looking into, i just look back at scores and go "What can I immediately approve upon, and what may be a bit more difficult to learn?" that is the mindset I've taken with at least mania, if I can't do it and start being negative? I take a break, play a different skillset or play with friends.
Touch grass
digitalhypno did irreversible damage to the osu community
What happened to me was that i always overthinked that i was stucked at my skill gap, just stuck and stuck, but i didn't even notice when i got my first 600pp, then my 650, and now im close to 700, without even glancing at my improvement, it's crazy how your brain can play you in the worst possible way
Just like the guy at the start I started playing 3 years ago
Still 5 digit
But I quit in February
Life never been better 🙏
i quit the game a little over a month ago, came back exactly a week ago and it feels very refreshing. i started with offline play for a little bit because i quit for the exact reason that i cared too much about my rank and used that as a representation of my improvement. this goes to anyone having the problem, whether if you're 6 digit, 5 digit, or even something higher than that. DO NOT USE YOUR RANK AS A REPRESENTATION OF SKILL (or top plays). once i started playing again, i was getting better scores on maps that i couldn't do BEFORE i quit, which was right around when i peaked in overall skill.
its all in your head. also the genetics thing, that is completely wrong. everyone has the potential, but if you get stuck on unhealthy mindsets, it will absolutely destroy the experience. don't shoot yourself down for a flaw that you can fix. and no that doesn't mean grind over 8 hours every day relentlessly, that will ruin the game for you (and probably your hand). acknowledging your problem is step one, but it won't go away until you find a solution.
i probably didn't need to write this comment but i feel like some people may need it still. i hope this helped at least someone even if its just one person.
As soon as I cleared Alpha Dan, I basically lost all interest in the game outright because I could barely pass Beta.
(Yes I'm talking about mania here)
I felt genetically locked but also a little bit strict because there were younger players than me in the same country (Great Britain) that were excelling their best and they're like, late-teenagers or even adults.
Whenever I tried to improve, I entered a depression. Not because I wasn't getting anywhere, not because I was trying too hard, and not out of jealousy. It always invoked this response since 2019.
I had no idea where to go next, so I only just went to playing it every now and again. Every time I boot up the game to play it again I realise I made the right choice. I'm not getting any better, and I don't really want to.
I'm not even in the top 8,000. Well, I was for a while, but then my account got banned falsely and I couldn't appeal it.
But the game is just not fun anymore.
ending the year with a banger, as always, happy new year mr spazza
bad shroud spotted
nuh uh@@Caidennnnn
I'm 5 digits, my account is created in...2014.
I'm the laziest osu player known to humankind.
play for fun and not only for the sake of being good
Ever since I stop comparing myself to the average 5 digit (6 digit derankers) I started having alot more fun just doing whatever I want, I just play, have fun, and sometimes set some plays. It's allways about the journey as you said.
bro forgot about list week
I think a lot of the people in the osu! Community need to take breaks more often. Stop blaming the game for bad mental habbits, and get your life in check. Learn that osu! And gaming in general can be and will become an addiction without moderation. Haven’t watched the video yet, maybe I’ll edit this comment if this is covered. This is just based off of the title alone and my own experience in the community. Hope everyone is doing okay, happy new years everyone. ❤
nice beard
Right now I'm stuck completely still, I'm deranking like crazy, and the only thing holding me back is my tapping, it's worsening over time, and recently, my tapping technique is completely dead compared to 5 months ago.
The same thing happens to me! It actually gets so bad that sometimes when I try to play my top scores again I ask myself "Did I really do this? This is so hard."
@@Someone-ov1ro what do you do to fix this
I started playing in 2019. I dont know anyone that plays osu. I play almost everyday, at least weekly. I love it, i have a blast playing. I suck at the game. But I enjoy it so much. And I didnt think i was ever gonna be like to play the maps that I play. I love it and i want to get better, but 99% of the time I play, im just blasting music out loud and playing.
I know most people are probably not like me.
Why you Should QUIT osu?
Anser: Even cookiezi which play a lot DT can't stream 300BPM like aetrna.
How to solve: Reincarnation or play casually or quit it.
I'm W#301 in 2016 can't stream 240BPM, when I saw Niko dominating speed map, I knew there would be faster ones in the future, truth is always cruel, so I choose to be a clown. lol
Imo Osu improvement content is great. The problem is everyone watches them instead of doing what they tell. You gotta find YOUR healthy balance
i dont re4ally think im having fun that much and i think i should quit, but i know that the reasopn for that is also only because of the reasons you listed. so ill be taking a break, and then just dont give an f about anything in osu anymore except maybe how ill have more fun.
I have 500+ hours and i'm still 257000 player. I'm also playing mouse cuz tablets are uncomfotable for me (i tried many times, screamed like a madman and than sweatch back to the mouse). For me its hard to play jumps, even 5.0 stars. I think am mostly playing for pp and sometimes just passing some random speedy maps. I cant understand how to play jumps, for me speed is much easier. I can just play for 1 hour and than i'll be ready to play speed map but its not working for jumps at all. I dont even remember when i enjoyed OSU, thats because i cant play the easiest map set - jumps, they to...''random'' for me. Jumps also very boring to play (most of the times). i think low bpm one are cool but maping on those are sometimes cursed af.
I play since 2014 and I never really quit the game, and when I say it to friends that had a much faster improvement than me and one of them say "you have a big mental" I'm just like "I just can tell like 10 games I try harded more than osu!" because osu! may be one of the longest game I played alongside 2 other (minecraft in 2012-2013 and destiny in 2014 2 month before osu!) I played much more time in these game than osu! and I eventually quit forever for these 2 games, but not osu!, because I don't care that much about leaderboard and I have fun when I want to play (even if sometime I like pp and farming) I like improving but osu! will never be my main game, when I play osu! I play a lot every day for 2 week and I quit for 1-2 month and I restart the process, I have never hit 2K playcount in a month except the 2 month I received my tablet in 2018, and I know if I want to improve I need to play more than that and not quitting after 2 week of playing.
So personally, there will be no for what or when should I quit, because I never really played the game and osu! is just a second game for me, so my mental will never be damaged by someone else or something.
I reached 5 digit in less than a year. Now I'm still 5 digit, I've already played 1800+ hours since that moment and my skill is only getting worse, I probably tried everything to improve my skill, but nothing helps. This game doesn't bring the same pleasure that it used to, so lately I've been thinking about quitting osu!
I recently "pushed pashed my limits", doing 5 stars, and actually being able to beat some! I thought i was only capable four stars, but i guess i just wasnt trying hard enough. I also ended up playing a few 6*, jump maps, to obviously which i have some ways to go... im at 600k right now, and my arm hurts from a few days ago, when i used like all of my energy... and my tapping ability is probably going to be damaged for a while for gaming too hard hahaha.. i literally spent 9 hours on the game, and im pretty washed because of my arm, even though i do infact stretch before each osu session... so yeah i have some ways to go until i can actually do 5*'s comfortably without actively hurting my arms n such
nice clickbait
also for every new osu player out there depending what you suck at in osu
aim: try lift a little you get suprized how much easier aim can get with a little bit of workout
tapping: play more!
alternating/streams: some people think spamming stream maps will improve your alternating and accuracy but all it does it help your stamina, if you want more control then practise single tapping with the finger you feel is way worse at keeping your consistancy
let's say you tap with your index finger as main finger but you only tap with middle finger when its a triple or stream, try fc maps using your middle finger as the main finger, it makes your streaming much easier in the future if you practise for 1 week, that means start streams and triples with your middle finger aswell
and no, don't just play maps just to pass them, try to SS those maps you already managed to SS with index finger as main finger with middle finger instead as main finger
your alternating will automaticly get way better aswell doing this, as you will understand how to continue alternating tricky and quick bpm triples with doubles and single taps with alternating if you practise that way
AR 0 - 8 reading: get some glasses i guess, or get that easy mod activated and practise
AR 10 reading: force yourself to play hardrock for months, it will make dt accuracy look like a joke when you're done
AR 10.1 - 11: play dt but tbh i don't recommend it unless you wanna risk destroying your eyes for the future
FL: if you have a good memorie then enjoy, have no clue how people get good at that shit, -gn is blessed for sure and every other person that can fl 1000+ combo on 5 star maps
Im 53k with no 300 play yet. Im not trying to go for it though I just continue to play because I enjoy the game. If it happens it happens but if not theb im not worried
Yeah i think allot of improvment advice is bs besides maybe map suggestions, but otherwise it really is just "keep practicing until you eventually i get it". I personally struggle allot with comparing myself with other players and getting upset when i get passed by someone for the 6th time this month. Watching everyone seem to magically just get it does not help when you feel like you're giving it your all and seeing the same results. But thats just life ig, and regardless i just like the gameplay and want to be able to play harder maps. How others improve really shouldn't effect that.
I quit osu this december :D (banned my self) so in 12 months i can appeal :D lets see if imma be the next whitecat LMAO
I'm convinced that the one 6 digit guy that recommended promethean kings as a map to practice streaming with and got gunga views set osu players back multiple years
Im a 6 digit and I first dowloaded the game 5 years ago, I don't really care about my rank I just play for fun
It js happned one day for me, full time ecstasy addict put it down. I mean if u got shit to do the game isnt as important, simple as that
i simply improve when I'm enjoying the game, it's ironic how i actually stop improving when i actually focus on improving, i just go look up graveyarded maps for songs i love and then play a map i like 100s of time and end up improving, i never force myself to play if I don't feel like it
guys i was able to escape its possible and i have improved my life quality and mental stability
I’ve been playing for 2yrs now and am high 5 digit. I feel like I’ve sorta hit my skill ceiling which I’m fine with, and lately I just play songs/maps that are genuinely fun for me. The thought of grinding to try and become a 4 digit one day kinda stresses me out cause everyone seems so cracked now lol
digitalhypno and its consequences have been a disaster for the osu community
i was also a 5 digit for 3 years then reached 4 digit on my 4th year
i kinda miss the overthinking era tho, i even got a coaching session from you and it was fun
no! osu for life
