a version of this video that goes on forever with hypno saying shit like "level 302 is 162 note streams. if you understand how 165 and 163 note streams work, you can imagine it as a 163 note stream with the end chopped off, but some people find it easier to think of it as a 160 note stream with a double at the end"
1: howdy from your twitch chat 2: i feel like learning to alternate early is such a good advantage because for later maps single tapping will be inefficient because of the high amount of bursts/stacks/streams 3: also keep up the quality content :-)
I also personally agree that alternating is superior if you had to pick one to stick with, but it's too much of a personal bias for me to want to include in the video
@@honmi i feel like you could have slightly dwelled into this by going into starting different patterns with a different finger each time then tying it up together. That way you would make your non-dominant finger be more dominant so it would be closer to your dominant one. By doing this over time you would be able to start alternating even if you have a dominant finger (for example starting a pattern after a break/at the start of a song with the same finger but still be good with continuing the next pattern with your other finger) (which is also the point i am kinda at)
I will say that I fully alternate (or did, now my tapping is a disgusting mass of different tapping styles) but even to this day I do not have a dominant finger. It has made finger control slightly earlier but not by much. Honestly with the kind of hours you need to get to the later levels of finger control. You will get so used to your tapping style that it really doesn't matter all that much.
Some maps i would suggest for people that want to improve/test their finger control are: - Sputnik 3 (difficulty from 2* and up so solid for all skill levels) (the song from level 24) - Rubik's cube (a combination of different types of finger controll patterns) - Feral (a combination of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 rythms with a lot of switches between the beats to test your finger controll to the limit)
@@dexorne9753 nobody will blame you if you can't pass one of the diffs first try, just keep playing and use the map as a "milestone" to see how good you are at finger controll. You could even just start with the 3* diff and go up from there
As a full alt player, I am absolutely clueless about this topic, 1/3s are just 0.75x bpm bursts, and basically everything is just a stream if you think about it; 1/2s are just half bpm streams.
YES FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT HOW I SAID IT. The Sliderend triples. I had a fat discussion about this on stream where my viewers all said its a slider going into a double but I explained it how you said it... (less detailed) Also I singletap but hit the pattern like on 9:29 but like 1 2 3 and not 1 2 1 (So I tap it exactly like a burst, I called it an elongated burst bc you just hold down first finger longer)
Another certified banger Digital Hypno video. Also really *love* the finger close up. I wish more people (especially top players) would use this camera angle.
27:47 "feel free to explore" WHERE 😭 it's hard to find stuff with mixed beatsnap that isnt multiples of 3 and 4, if you know some lists or smth thatd be great
level 24 is the bane of my existence, I'm currently mapping a song which is around 5.5* but has fucking 1/8 doubles mixed in, no doubles or 1/3s but there's a random 1/8 every now and then lol also no 1/5, 1/7, 1/12 hmm
My finger control is so broken, I mostly single tap with my pointer finger but I am physically unable to start bursts with that finger due to really bad habits, however for some reason I always end slider head bursts with my pointer finger which leads me to tapping an extra time on those patterns almost always. Worse yet, it works really well compared to whatever else I try and has caused me to get really good at consecutive slider head triples because I’m basically just streaming, but that has a really bad effect on actual triples and many other patterns. This video has made me very motivated to fix this, so thanks for the motivation. Also, this video is genuinely great, and certainly the best vid on this topic
As a full alt player who has no clue about singletapping, my advice is to try full alt for a few weeks. Might break up that habit and equalise the finger muscles.
you can also try singletapping with your other finger to even things out and avoiding faster/more complex patterns until you have some control. either way, it'll be awkward at first
wow this turned out really well! the explanations were mostly super clear and the occasional slow-downs and editor timeline inserts were very informative. since the music wasn't audible i think the presentation suffered a bit when introducing 1/3 rhythm, because the feeling of the time signature depends on where you feel the strong beats. without a metronome or some hitsounding, it comes across as just being slowed down a bit without really emphasising the waltz. same for 1/6.
thank you wala !! yes that's a good point with 1/3 and 1/6, I tried to demonstrate a bit by playing a 1/2 pulse and 1/3 pulse right next to each other but it's hard to really show without the game audio T_T will keep in mind if I make videos like this in the future. glad you enjoyed !!
I thought I was a full alt player but this video made me realize that I use my weaker finger to start bursts/doubles. Don't know how I got here but time to fix it
I struggle with triples, usually getting 100 by 3rd note, pressing it too early, that is why My acc is bad, I will try all mapset for triple from your video, hope this helps
I feel like an important level involving 3/4 long sliders (including but not limited to the 2-repeat 1/4 ones in the middle of a stream) was missed. Some patterns that involve those may be confusing finger control-wise, the most common issue may be where there's only one such kickslider in the middle of a stream instead of a pair - if you're taught any 1/4 gap warrants a finger switch, suddenly it's not your dominant finger hitting the main beats after it.
i have big problems with a slider into a double (blue to white line) and then quaver reset into 7 quaver jumps. All in 248 bpm. The maps called chAngE and is a 460 pp play with dt. Idk why but i never get to hit that
I was wondering if there is a way I can neutrally train both of my fingers equally instead of having a dominant finger. I feel like I try to start fast bursts with my middle finger, but in case I have a random note in the middle where I already used my middle finger, the next burst, my natural instinct takes over and I consecutively try to start the next burst with the middle finger again, but fail. I don't think I am making much of a sense, but it's like I want to do this - 121212 1 212121 and this is what I am doing 121212 1 121212 where 1 represents middle finger and 2 represents index
its so hard when you always used to start with the same finger on a triple. i try that i can start with both my fingers that i can click (1-2-1) (2-1-2). Any tips to learn it i have a massive mindblock i dont can start with the other finger
Triples are not easy, took me a very very long time(current time:960hrs) to be able to hit some of it usually 1x 100 per triple Idk if anyone out there struggling almost wanna quit OSU cuz of it but I suggest using the editor and tapping to the triple with the editor at 50% if u need to I'm just untalented ig but I still like rhythm games
I absolutely love this video. I am someone who enjoys rhythmically complex maps. But as a 45k I am not the best at finger control yet. I feel like I should practice reading lower ar maps. As there seems to be a lot of banger finger control maps below 9.3 ar which is where I can comfortably read most maps.
Level 25 is understanding this video is completely unnecessary if you learn to recognize which finger you'll end on depending on whether there's an odd or even amount of notes in a stream
There is maps like Ievan Polkka mapped by Sinnoh where you can practice breaking harder alternating patterns down into doubles making aiming and tapping them more intuitive with some practice
You did an incredible job breaking down music theory concepts for people who don't have a musical background, good work! My only critique would be that I wish the audio examples you used for the single/double section were included for most or all of the other levels. It may have especially made conveying the slider section easier. That said, I will be rewatching to get maps and as a refresher. Again, amazing explanations!
is it not normal that for "sliderend triples" and other sliderend bursts i tap the slider with my dominant finger, then start the burst with dominant finger too? ive just been doing that the whole time and im 4 digit now so i dont see why i would do it the other way, it does make more sense though
I personally have never swapped tapping hand for going into sliders to triples or jumps into triples, it seems like both are viable and if anything when I tried to tap bursts starting with with other hand I seemed to acc significantly worse for some reason. I'm not a standard kinda player- I'm pretty ass but I'm a Tap-x'r who likes playing speed and slower finger control :> So for jumps I would Tap, tap, X tap What he thinks I should be doing is Tap, X, tap, X, which honestly makes more stress on my non dominant hand so I'm not sure.
@@footsoljier6468 lol sorry yeah I did use osu-specific terminology (and tried to avoid music theory terminology) because obviously that's the target audience of this video
Good video but honestly, for every part, show the gameplay and tapping on its own with no voiceover. A lot of patterns I know when I see/hear it but is hard from just seeing the circles with almost no sound.
For me, it starts with jumping to a difficult beatmap at the time, seeing how I can't keep up and struggle. Then, a few weeks later, I play the same map and struggle slowing myself down, especially for streams.
Lmao every time I look at his fingers I see him tapping 2 times with one finger and 1 time with the other and I think to myself, how the hell is he doing that lmao
keep practicing alting triples. if you have a dominant finger, it can help to practice singletapping / starting patterns with your other finger to balance it out
