Dear osu! Players... STOP DOING THIS. 

Stop overthinking is good life advice in general

6:20 bro thinks hes going to the gym ☠☠💀

11:04 "probably gonna receive a lot of hate without a reason" i felt that

Legacy is a huge factor in how we see greats. 100% agree with what you said about cookiezi, its a hard one to beat. But Mrekk is still writing his legacy and i cant wait for how hype this anime will be

if mrekk comes back 10x better were all dead

3:14 I think what this person is trying to say is that rapid trigger eliminates the need to develop your tapping technique to high levels by eliminating the consideration for actuation points. You simply need to move your fingers and not worry about messing up a stream or getting notelock because of improper technique that leads to your keys not actuating.

7:57 I play osu!mania and I swear that after the change of how the game count pp by taking the accuracy as the main aspect, it removes my frustration immediately because of how amazing it is. Not only I don't have to worry about chokes but it also pushing my acc and my finger control drastically.

hello Spazza, thank you for your inspiring words ( 7:36 ) , I am going to shred right now

the thing with nerves and combo scaling is that if combo didn't make as much of an impact, you'd also get nervous if you have a good misscount and accuracy even if you weren't comboing. of course this wouldn't affect previous scores but it would affect future scores

some timestamps 0:24 - wooting is minimum hardware requirement in 2023 1:41 - (ad) Buy Spazza's Used Stuff 2:25 - rapid trigger -> +min speed limit -> demotivation 3:30 - South Korea military service vs winning OWC 4:30 - why osu tournaments suck 5:18 - youtube unpopular in osu because higher effort than streaming 6:00 - your waifu isn't real 6:17 - a "scientific" osu workout schedule 7:57 - std pp should be only from acc 9:10 - pp farming is bad 10:12 - goated: mrekk or cookiezi 12:26 - ending

Cookiezi's old scores are so stupid, like, Before you couldn't push your skill cap as much and it was harder to improve, but Cookiezi managed to do it, other player who kinda did the same was _index - hr wasn't meta, but he still was top 2!

that speech at the end about mrekk and cookiezi was really inspirational honestly. i've always loved cookiezi but that made me love him about 10x more. just how you worded everything. i don't know. i'm dumb.

Cookiezi is trully a legend and I legit don't understand why some people hate him (mostly 13yo zoomers who started playing in 2020). Such a special player even if he is not #1 anymore. Btw I'm kinda interested in your japanese keyboard (BFKB113PBK) for playing taiko but man 65€ for a membrane... and it's just a fraction of the real price oof

"Keyboards, keycaps, switches, various accessories, even fumos. Everything is basically brand new, or used once" Sir how do you "use" a fumo 😢

Yearly spazza video pog

10:40 blast from the past. The return of cookiezi in 2015 was insanity

the second one is basically saying: with a normal keyboard, you have to pay attention to how specifically you're tapping, what with actuation points and the risk of not fully extending or descending, this limits your options for the techniques you can employ. Wooting on the other hand, let's you use a great deal of other tapping techniques that on a normal keyboard would be terrible, but because of the rapid trigger function now are possible, many of these techniques being much easier to use. Like you said, if you can already tap that fast, you can play that bpm, certainly, but what wooting does is let you skip the part where you need to find a good technique to be consistent with that speed. For example, Roaz uses a technique in which he just barely moves his fingers, almost vibro, which on a normal kb, you would need to master knowing exactly where your actuation point is, and always be able to perfectly go above and below it with every one of your micromovements. That takes a lot of muscle memory to acomplish, you need to put the effort in to make the technique work. On the wooting? if you have the tapping motion down, you can entirely skip the muscle memory building.

kinda funny on the schedule part coz the actual science seems to say that rest days dont have any benefit over just playing and the most "science informed" things you can do to improve faster at osu is sleep better and challenge yourself in novel ways (which is true for anything) rest days are the best way to get the most improvement with the least time investment coz ur brain will improve ur skill for a couple nights of sleep after the practice but overall if ur goal is to get good as fast as possible its better to just shred and sleep well lol

NEW UPLOAD thank god

I don't even play osu anymore but I was glad to see you pop up in my recommended. Keep up the great vids Spazza.

About speed and the wooting as an overall rank 1.4k player myself I do not have the wooting yet, but I tried it out for 2hours. I already have the tapping speed for max 300bpm, I cant do more than that at all. I cannot acc 270 because of finger locks that have made me unable learn to acc it since I am always unsure if I overstreamed, understreamed and such. But wooting did something, I got insane accuracy, I could tap 300 pretty well, even lower bpm like 250 I did fantastic on. BUT I already knew I can tap all of those bpms. My only problem is finger locks, and that enabled me to get more stamina in 270bpm streams and higher, but it didnt help me get MORE speed. You could argue that when I gain more stamina, like me, i gained 270 stamina for 200 note streams where as before I could barely do 50, it translates to gaining "more speed" but no. You still click as fast, just for longer.

7:36. i have just deleted osu today cuz in my brain all that overthinking stuff was everywhere. i just have to relax from that circle game, it circles my head

mega based from Spazza to not become the 17 trillionth person to jump on the cringe combo rework bandwagon, yeah sure heavily nerfing combo's effect on pp will probably make the system a bit more representative of how good a play actually is but it will ruin much of the hype of scores and the impressiveness of consistency. From someone who can't hold more than 200 combo to save my life.

I was about to compare the wooting situation to mouse vs tablet, but then you already did it lmao

i would say learning rapid trigger technique early on is beneficial. took me years to unlearn mouse clicking because i started out on some garbage chiclet rubberdome keyboard.

I play maps that are way too hard purely for enjoyment. As a 6-digit who can't FC a single 4.3+ star map I can say trying to beat Duplicity Shade (standard) is too hard to not have fun with.

spazza please make pasta cooking video

11:57 "And that kid's name? Albert Einstein"

the banana fish tee goes hard

nice video man, congrats

On the wooting is a necessity: uh no it's not EZChamp's 1k is on a membrane keyboard

There are currently scores on Osu! Lazer that have less acc (-5%+) and combo (-200+) with higher miss counts than scores I've set, and they can't be beaten. Before that was a thing I would never have cared about how much combo is weighed.

damn camera looks cleannn

omg i wish i were in the EU so i could get that sanae fumo

i love banana fish

As a former "osu scientist" i can confirm that it really leads absolutley nowhere, just play and try to get fc's on stuff that's hard for you and you'll just get better lol

Holy shit the quality of the video is soo good

0:40 one of the top Chinese players uses a Apple keyboard also top taiko players use membrane or scissor keyboards and some are even on 60hz.

I have cubital tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists from 8k hours in mania. I wanted to start getting into std but my left wrist hurts so much when playing, i have a brace and elevate my left wrist. Im not sure what to do at this point when it comes to std.

hello spazza, I came up with a science based schedule for osu improvement and would like to hear what you think: Monday is play day, Tuesday I play more, Wednesday play morer, Thursday play even morer, Friday play most, Saturday and Sunday play moster

Nice camera quality spazza

9:35 I feel personally attacked

About the question on 8:00, what if the miss was in the last 10% of the map? Or last 5% of the map, maybe it should count for more pp considering when you missed, since your nerves are low if you miss in the start and fc the rest as you mentioned, but not when you are fc'ing all the way untill you miss in the end.

I mostly think about me being deja vu when i miss the same circle

i love old man

please dont stop this series its ur best content!!

Nice oyasumi punpun collection on the shelf B)

I'm a top 1k mania player and I play entirely by instinct, I also use a Razer huntsman pro WITH CLICKY KEYS I have played for 5 years and the only huge jump in performance I had was switching from a membrane keyboard to a mechanical

10:36 I felt this on another level

Wooting is not a necessity, but it‘s still an easy way to improve if you are already half decent. And in some instances (like tournaments) it can/will make the difference.

nice one spazza

Getting ranks are good and fun, farming and seeing your rank get better is fun, and when you can't farm anymore, go back to pushing your skill cap with speed practice maps, improving aim, improving reading and all, it's super fun and then go back to farming and get more ranks and repeat. If you enjoy game like that there is nothing wrong and everyone who says otherwise hate farm maps for the sake of it, or hating on Sotarks or some other mappers.

I really wish any player would assume you have to play really hard things to be good. You can be good at anything, just, don’t trash others just because they can’t do like the top players.

banger

also goddamn spazza said the words that was never said about cookiezi....... wait....

This is true quality content

I do think equipment makes a difference as a beginner if you're uncomfortable, though... I used to play on a cheap chinese knockoff keyboard with blue switches and it absolutely killed my hands. And if someone is playing on a cheap membrane or laptop kb, I think it's going to be more difficult to learn bursts and streams. Why make the game more difficult for yourself on purpose just because new equipment won't make you a pro? I would honestly recommend any beginner with bad equipment to at least get a keypad if they're serious about the game, for their hands at the very least.

banger video

i love this guys videos :) good job

Retinazer & Spasmatism

between mrekk and cookiezi/chocomint lifeline is the goat

6:20 this post lives rent free in my head it makes me so mad bro wtf is this post

im on vacation during COE, fuck

cucumber tapping

Osu faceit would be cool

I can't believe Spazza is selling his Fumos. What a blasphemy.

I love your shirt bro

hey spazza, im the person at around 2:26. I couldn't really explain exactly what i meant because of the character limit. i think if you wanna do another video like this you should increase it.

Where do one send the statement to spazza? Kinda want to share stuff like this

Agreed with the Cookiezei statement. Once my friend introduced me to his old plays I was shocked and got inspired.

Spazza I like how you pronounce ever R

everyone seems to forget the best setup is obviously a good sleep schedule and nutrition... smh...

YES SPAZZA! TAIKO IS LOVE! TAIKO IS LIFE!

i need fumos for osu improvement :P

yooo ur not dead

mrekk vs cookiezi, cookiezi is a man made a god by his skill, and mrekk is a god in human form showing off his abilities

Actually water fasting is a good way to git gud. On my fasting days my brain just works way better and i set way better scores in osu.

Personally I adore the banana fish shirt you have. based manga

1:14 literally me. Maybe I need to do 1:32

i play only mouse in OSU

mrekk's plays are circus level, cooker da people's 🐐

NOWAYING

no science based. just enjoy game, get used to easy, medium, hard maps and rest helps a lot.

Not sure try to stream osu is basicaly take 0 effort when you need proper pc/laptop that is capable to stream the game smoothly and don't forget about your internet speed, the price for better speed depends on your country and location even Pewdiepie former no.1 independent most subs user used to having internet issue back around 2018-2019 hell way before he become so famous he had to go to his neighboor stole their wifi internet to upload videos.

bro turned on the clip maker cause he knows he is making banger takes.

Farming isn't bad Farming gives incentive and motivation to play and improve When I stopped farming, I lost the Any desire to play and have fun, because it was hammered into my brain that farming is bad, and most importantly, farming brought me fun I enjoyed to get pp

mrekk might be the goat but cookiezi is the goatest

wooting is not a necessity but is optional

based pro farming spaßa shredder 113% 🤙🔥🔥🙏

Bro, i just bought keyboard pieces online to build my own keyboard, and now you say that you have cheap keycaps :(

tbh cookiezi could go even further than now if his physical condition didn't restrict him from playing lot of thing such as AR11 or hardrock/nomod. Heck maybe if his eyes was alright we could see 1k in 2017

hello spazza, mama mia!

i love this guy no homo

cool shirt

ekoro plays on 70 hertz fyi

You can literally buy the sooting switches and program your own drivers and play crazy high plays

If osu lives on for another 10, 20 years - or more - Cookiezi’s legacy will fall behind mrekk’s. Players like whitecat, bubbleman, ristel or vaxei will bejust regarded as someone who was number 1 or good at tournaments.

just get a keyboard that feels good

4:55 L take. Annoying maps are only annoying cause you either suck or it’s a bad map and I would say it‘s 50/50

enjoy yourself? 🤨
