It is clearly the best map ever created.
Amazing song: http://osu.ppy.sh/b/75689&m=0 Insane diff's map is just sooooo fun,Shinxyn is a ridiculously awesome mapper.

Thanks ^^
I meant to fix that up a bit and get it approved but I never got around to it :/
Holy crap this game is awesome, I installed it about a week ago and I'm playing it almost as much as SC2 now The difficulty ratings are kind of weird though, some 5 star maps are doable for me, while there are 4 star ones that seems next to impossible. But there are sooo many good maps, its ridiculous.
You can add me to the list btw, my Osu ID is blackone, same as my TL name.

Yeah the difficulty ranking isn't really perfect There are 5 star maps that are easy and then there are 5 star maps that are like impossible
glad your having fun with it haha

I can only barely clear the Tritium difficulty though D: hands not yet gosu enough for U235
Can people post what skins they're using? Preferably a link. I'm looking for something more minimalistic, and the minimal theme isn't cutting it. The skin some other guy linked here is good, but I didn't like a few parts. Looking to mix and match.

I'm using Xi Style with subbed parts :>
changed the numbers in the hit circles and the accuracy point thing (300, 100, 50) I really like the 300/100/50 skin because it's pretty small and unobtrusive the color is... purple with stars so haha Got it off Bakemogatari map
Hey everybody! I've played like infinity hours of osu for a few months now and I'd say that I'm kinda decent. But there are still things that I'm wondering and that I'd like to ask whomever reads it and knows his facts ^^
1) does playing in a small window really benefit my play? do pros do it?
2) is it really useful to delete 300-sprites?
3) do pros limit the active are of their tablets? 3a) if you limit it: where to put the active area of a tablet and what size?
4) is there some kind of a trick to streaming at 200+ BPM? I can reach about 300 APM in starcraft (about 85 of those come from the mouse I guess) but I somehow cant tap any faster than 190 BPM. I was told that Niko- has a "special" way of tapping and that he used an especially flat keyboard since that would somehow make it easier to tap fast. Sounds like bullshit to me but there is no harm in asking.
I've bought a tablet but even while it is great fun to use, my scores are a lot better when playing with my mouse. I'd like to train using the tablet at some point just to see if that would get me any further. Wouldnt have thought it would be this hard to use that thing ;P

I love this map too. I can tell the mapper put a lot of effort into this beatmap.
When the map was first ranked, I couldn't clear U235 either. But it's pretty easy now. It's a very fun map so you're missing out :0

1) I play in a small window so I don't have to look around as much. 2) I found it very useful. The default 300 sprite can easily block your vision of next note to hit. 3) I don't know about this. 4) Practice.

1. Playing windowed vs fullscreen is personal preference, it also depends on your mouse sensitivity. 2. Yes if you're more comfortable playing with your own personal skin. I for one almost always delete custom skins in maps. 3. Most people do, there's a topic on the osu forums about it here: http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=47504 4. Just practice. I personally have difficulty playing anything over 170 bpm because I'm especially slow. If you play with a tablet you can try playing like Lesjuh and alternate tapping the pen and using the keyboard, you can tap faster if you're using two hands instead of one.

I use the minimal theme that you say isn't cutting it :/
Why aren't you a fan? I like it a bit more than Bikko Light, because I find the numbers easier to read (which I know shouldn't make a difference if I'm reading well, but I'm bad).
On the topic of maps I like, there's a couple that I've liked a lot for a while, but have been hesitant to recommend simply because I hadn't cleared them yet... but that changed tonight, when I cleared both of them! So now I'm recommending them (although you've probably already played them).
Don't think so - it was one that didn't have any hitbursts (the 300/100/50), but the rest was still there (actually, this is relatively easy to make on your own). Something like taNa's skin perhaps?

Uh, what? How is it impossible to follow a rhythm when you don't have hitsounds that cause any small mistake to create a wrong rhythm that competes with the song's real rhythm?
...How do hitsounds mess you up? Sorry, but I just don't understand this sentence at all.
Yeah I don't understand it either, I mean it's personal preference but playing without hitsounds is so much harder than playing with them. I can understand turning them down if the whistles/claps annoy you but to play with them muted is just making things 10x harder on yourself lol
The hitsounds start when you click, so if your not clicking on time (100s,50s) you are making a sound at that incorrect time, which in turn creates a beat at the incorrect time is what he is saying I think.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
It doesn't cause me problems like it used to (now, I can play close to the same with hitsounds on or off, although my streams are still a bit more accurate with them off), but for a long time, hitsounds used to lure me into "incorrect" rhythms, which would utterly trash me. It still happens to me with streams sometimes.
Hitsounds can be useful when you're to the point where you hit 300s virtually every time and 100s are a rare abomination, but as a beginner, it's much easier to keep them off. Streams are also much easier with them off, IMO, since streams require that you hear the actual music as clearly as possible with no interference. Once you get a bit better, hitsounds can make some quarter-note sections slightly easier, and they're more fun to play with (unless the mapper was an asshole and used whistles).
I have a solution, click on time , that way you wont make false beats that disrupt your rhythm, in pretty much any rhythm game it will be hard to recover if you miss one note or hit the note a bit off from where you were supposed to. That's simply the nature of the game, if you don't like it don't play it, but if you want to get better you can't have hitsounds off.
I've noticed that, after playing a map, it's possible to move that difficulty (and that difficulty only) in/out of favorites A/B without disturbing the rest of the difficulties.
If I wanted to pare my Favorites A folder down to just the difficulties that got the map considered one of my favorites, is there a better way of doing this than playing every single easier difficulty for all of those maps to be able to remove them individually?

I'm kinda hesitant to do that, because I've got a friend who doesn't have the game (his mouse sucks), but plays it whenever he comes over to my place, and there's no way he'd be able to play the same maps I do (He struggles with 4.5-star hards, 5-star insanes would be impossible for him).
Anyways, I wound up just removing every map from Favorites A and replaying the difficulties I wanted in there. Didn't take more than about an hour, and had I been smart enough to remember that "oh yeah, no fail exists", it would have been even faster (damn those formations at the end of Flutter Girl).
