I really need to play Osu! again.
I wouldn't even get into the Top 1000 again now, even though I was Top 200 one year ago

Your play count is 36.

This game is almost purely practice. You'll get better the longer you play. Expect to be at ~500 plays when you start getting into harder hards/easier insanes.


Okay thanks. When I started playing DDR I was A/AA'ing 9 Foot Heavy songs after 1 month, so I just assumed it would transfer over.


Part of how your brain handles timing transfers over, but since osu involves mouse movement as well as clicking to the timing, your brain needs time to figure out how to adapt that skill.

I started out having a LOT of trouble on even the easiest maps, so don't give us, just keep playing a lot. I've got 10k plays in roughly a year, and I could have quite a few more if I played like some people do and restarted maps over and over to grind a score out.

There are some practice maps out there. At this point they are WAY WAY too hard for you to even try. But for future reference:

Yeah rating doesn't mean anything anymore, every mediocre anime/eroge/Touhou map has a 9.2 or higher

Fun map.

[image loading]
Also fun, though i was over 99% before the last ~30 seconds when I started to choke. xD But I don't understand why it wasn't a FC, can you lose individual numbers of a combo in the middle of it somehow? Because in the replay i got to 1039x, but the score screen says 1038x, and max combo is 1040, but last 3 notes are all singles so to break in the end would give an X and didn't happen. :/

You can miss the end of a slider and your combo wont get broken, but you'll lose 1x on the slider. Probably what happened a few times. Look for 100s on sliders.

Clicking early/late and missing the starting point of a slider = combo break
Lifting early and missing the end point of a slider = -1 to max combo but your combo stays intact

I think

I'm toall noob at osu but as with every good game there's something challenging for any level of play. I keep playing and I'm slowly getting better. Lately I was having fun with SSing easiest difficulties without mods but one thing keeps bugging me. I understand I'm slow spinner and people will be always over me and I just need to practice but I was watching replays of others to see their spinning rate and there's one dude who make minimal circles and almost never moves his cursor out of the designed circle. How does he do that? I'm linking to his profile, I guess you can see any of his replays on a map with spinners. http://osu.ppy.sh/u/1557231 Thanks in advance for clearing this for me.
Please be patient.

Basically you just spin extremely close to the center of the circle. Practice enough and you can do it too, though it's 100x easier with a tablet than a mouse.

I don't know.. I play both tablet and mouse, but my spins are better with mouse

Also, new video!

Made it about 50 minutes in before I derped hardcore and just died, and for some retarded reason I didn't have No Fail on.

So what's the pro mod so the darn 300 and 100 splashes don't cover up the approach circles for next notes?
And is it as simple as copying it into a folder within program files?

Haven't had any SS yet,
Best performance I've had is S & FC on flutter girl.
And just broke 90% yay!

Yes, you just put the elements you want into the c/program files/osu/skins in a folder named what the skin is named. And then select that skin in the options in game.

Though some songs can override this skin selection, which is retarded, so you'd have to directly copy/paste your skin into that song folder to force it to use the skin you want.

Just find a skin you like, a few have been posted in this thread and there's a section on osu forums full of skins. You can mix and match elements of skins if you find a need.

The mod I use is Focus 1.1. It's extremely clean and easy to see stuff. One thing I like about it is that it converts your cursor into a glowing blue ball, so you can actually see where the cursor is. As ThaZenith said, some beatmaps have custom skins, so you can just delete whatever offending element (think approach circles, crappy splashes etc).

If you really want SS maps, just go play 1 star beatmaps.

Using it now, gonna see how I like it.

I'm not a diehard GOTTA SS. I just want to get my first 5-star map SS'd, and I have literally been 3 green hits away from a full SS on one, just lacking the gusto to keep pounding it beyond 10 tries. I have fun on the maps that challenge me but at the same time ... aren't just D's after a bajillion tries (Renard-Banned Forever, Dragonforce-Cry for eternity ugh). Not gonna do a 1star SS just for some strange self-satisfaction. Wish me luck!

P.S. Really looking to have fun while cementing a high-APM handspeed (Force myself to zxzx all stacks, left mouse single hits & sliders).
