Does osu! Improve Your Aim in FPS Games? 

I play osu to get good at clicking items fast in my minecraft invetory and chests

It is not directly transferrable, but osu! made me realize, that focus is very important. After trying to increase my focus in osu for a long time, not only my focus in osu increased, but also in other games like FPS and also real life, like in college listening to the professor. And until then I really didnt realize how important it is, but focus and how long you can maintain it makes such a huge difference everywhere.

I want to add that for people completely new to FPS games, the boost from playing osu! can help immensely when compared to people who also have no prior fps mechanics. I only was at around rank 200k when I transitioned to playing FPS games (Overwatch), but when I looked at my friends who were also new but hadn't any experience in "aim" games, the difference was extreme. Especially in a game like OW where to a complete newbie, there is way too much going on, osu circles jumping everywhere really helped train me to react and process everything and I was able to not only place 3227 (mid-diamond), but actually climb to masters in my first week of playing

As an Osu player and a mouse player, it taught me to use mouse grips and focus made it really fun. But as a aim trainer it could help you slightly on how to do cursor placement , mouse grip , precision and timing. But as a aim trainer barely it can teach you how to shoot and spray a gun properly.

osu improves hand eye coordination which will significantly help you with aiming

Osu just helps me feel a lot more comfortable and confident in my mouse movements in other games, definitely a great/fun way to warm up

There are a select few factors that you can relate to fps games which is reaction time. Once you are able to play 4* or 5*+ maps, you are already reacting way faster than those who have never touched games before. And also our peripheral vision usage increases because our eyes dont actually follow the cursor and rather we look at the whole screen to react to the circles. It does sort of help mechanical aim in the sense that osu! requires precise movements so its slightly more easy to transition to aim training and mouse flicks with ease. This is how I was able to easily transition to playing CS:GO.

i personally agree with the points brought up i play valorant with a pen, and the aim mechanics are not the same as they are in osu. most of the time it feels like a mouse, evcn though i'm using a stylus to control my crosshair placement. i wouldn't say that osu improved my reaction time in valorant however, but that could be because the targets are visually different than osu! hitcircles.

Osu for sure has an effect on aim for me personally, but not for raw aim, osu forces your eyes and brain to pay more attention to the target and less about flicking to the target, and its allowed me to make microajustments in my aim in valorant alot easier and accurately. It also makes tracking slightly more comfortable but it's still hard, that's just my experience though.

when i moved to pc i was god awful in every sense of the word in every shooter i played, so i tried aim trainers but they felt boring then a friend told me to download osu to get "better" and honestly a few months later my aim didn't get insanely better but i was already comfortable with the mnk. what im trying to get at here is that it doesn't make you insanely better at shooters as it doesn't make your mechanics better but it does help you fell more comfortable when playing, flicking and tracking.

Honestly I've thought about this for a bit. I play valorant and I'm ok at the game considering I border on diamond/immortal I recently picked up playing standard osu over the past few months. One thing I feel personally is that whenever I play Osu and move to valorant it influences my aim. It might be because my sens is different in Osu vs. Valorant but whenever I switch I feel like my sens is off which makes me wonder how much of an impact it really does have since aim seems to be mostly mouse control to me at least.

Something that would be interesting to see would be an aim trainer for osu!, i know Mcosu exists but like it functions like a 3D one but is a 2D program, this probably will just improve low amount of things but idk i wish i could try that

Osu helped me get use to the claw grip on the mouse but that's about it.

I think a major skill osu! teaches is smooth and efficient aim. You're always moving to your target in the shortest possible way and at a consistent pace. This alone won't make you a pro-aimer in an fps game, but it teaches you an important (and imo the hardest) part of aiming.

A friend of mine says it does help. And he's a bit of a demon when it comes to shooting games in general on pc now and he says osu is the way

imo osu! improves your mouse control, which then helps you aim in other games as well.

I love your content, keep up the good work

It really helps in 2d games, ive never trashed items in terraria that fast in my life bro

i think that osu is beneficial only to new pc gamers because it could increase confidence in mouse movements and focus levels like if you have adhd such as myself osu helped me focus alot when it comes to gaming i zone out less and can concentrate more to whats happening on the screen

I dont notice any improvement, but hey, atleast osu is fun

According to me, a mouse user, I think osu! just helps in imroving your eye hand co-ordination and nothing else

I'd be interested in if it significantly helps 'mouse aim' in 2D games as well (MOBAs, RTS, etc.) or if the 'reading' is just so different it's fairly negligible in that too

It doesn’t improve it directly but indirectly, you build mouse control which does help your aim but it doesn’t directly improve aim in any given fps game

Anything you do to help your hand eye coordination will improve your aim. You can freakin juggle and that would help.

OSU! Was my first touch with mouse intensive games, so i struggle a fuckton, and like many i started playing for the aim. I was a literal joke between my friends on fps and osu really make me do better. So yeah, fun game.

Honestly playing osu using graphic tablet did improve overall in games, but it's not because of the aim or something like that, mostly what osu did is helped me with syncing what I want to do with actual actions, meaning that when I do jiggle peak then it's easier for me due to how osu made me be able to sync well. Also osu helped me with control mine anger which is also good for games like Val

I did sense that my reaction time improved, it used to be something like 330ms and currently I can get like 200ms-230ms reaction time

my fps hand and eye coordination bleeds in to osu though. like im really good at micro movements in osu aswell. but wide flicks i miss nearly every time in both 2D 3D. so it definitely mirrors some sort of factor

One thing to point out that osu does help with strafing in CS because it is rhythm based.

The best thing to get better at a particular game is playing the game. Shocking, right? Things like AimLab, Osu! etc can be decent supplements for things like reaction time, becoming more comfortable with your hardware but they cannot solely make you better. If you want to spend hundreds of hours with anything that is supposed to improve your aim, you might as well train it within the game you are looking for, as you will simultaneously improve your game sense, map knowlegde and many more things that are needed almost more than pure aim. You can easily sacrifice a small portion of aim learning in exchange to overall become better at any given game, this counts for literally every single game out there. So stop googling some fancy ways to magically become better and put effort into the game if you want to improve, you will see results way faster once you start to focus on what you want to do.

Reaction time, accuracy and stability. Osu! does help with those for sure, not in extreme level tho but surely do.

Definitely helps you get good at aiming if you play osu! with mouse. It is literally an aim trainer and if you play it for hours and hours consistently, especially at a higher level, aiming becomes entirely natural for you.

OSU is great for warmup especially if your a mouse player since it encourages you to move and flick to targets. But it won't make you better at FPS games at most you may feel that you have more control over your mouse from all the jumps and streams which was something I found as my tracking got a little better. To be good at FPS games epsecially games like csgo, valorant, apex, Fortnite, cod etc. You just have to play and gain more experience. Raw aim is not everything but it sure does help (a lot) but experience is more important

Well i came across this video and I wanted to share my opinion!! I used aim labs to improve my aim which I did but I had a problem I would panic and shoot before my cross is even in the enemy,which made my bullets inaccurate. So I downloaded osu not to aim practice just to have fun and my clicking time got better.I mean ofc it isnt gonna improve ur aim much but it can help u in some ways I am sure of it!!

well i was told to try it and i suck at osu bc i click the nearest target and i click too fast. i treated it like an aim trainer and tried to hit all the circles as fast as possible but that not how it works. didnt feel like much reaction time was needed since i felt like every target took awhile to actually be clickable. if you wanted to get points that is. thats not to say hard osu stuff doesnt require reaction time but i didnt feel like it was the type that would improve my in game reaction time in a shooter.

i used to be absolute dogcrap at fps games but playing osu on mouse helped me with aim

I use osu! to condition my shoulder muscles so I don't feel tired after a few hours. If I want to improve my aim it's either using an aim trainer or any game's sandbox.

i love playing osu and r6 siege, when i play it with my friends i just feel like my friends doesn't have my same reaction time, feel like they react too slow, i think that osu can help a bit

For your aim in fps playing osu for 2 years is like using an aim trainer for an entire day or 2

Imo people are way too stuck on "aim type", what you train isn't "aim (type)" you train mouse control. And that transfers no matter what you play. Everything else becomes game specific, like crosshair placement, tracking patterns etc. And when you combine mouse control and knowledge what to do = aim . That's why Tenz isn't top ranked in osu and why top ranked players aren't pro in fps games. Also my own experience that Osu + hs dm helped me more than aim trainers like kovaak + dms.

simply osu just doesn't helps you with your aim lol, I mean its a rythm game, if you really wanna improve your aim just practice on Aim Lab or something like that! great vid btw

bro called Tenz, ten Zee lmao

Ofc if you're a turbo nerd who games 20+ hours a week you won't see any improvements. W/e. I'm in the faction that says OSU will help you a lot if you're new to games. Lets say for example, if you're playing on PC for the first time, or if you haven't played in a whole long time due to injury... it will help TREMENDOUSLY with developing your mouse skills. It will just improve your physical endurance and comfort in moving your mouse. Maybe it won't help your aim to get kills... but I think it will help your mindset to get the courage to throw your mouse half way across the mousepad and click on your target at the very least.

I've been using the karly skin for months because it's the best skin I've found so far (that I can play better) and also the discord skin that grizzlypng uses.

Reaction time is almost entirely generic and can only be improved slightly. It’s much more likely that osu! simply increases the average persons ability to properly focus which does transfer to other games and SEEMS like it made your reaction time better even though it didn’t.

My reading in osu! made me better at spotting enemies in apex

The more harder the map the more better at playing fps game

It had slightly improve at fps when i try it but it cost of your skill in osu! Cause i got rusty on osu! after a couple match in fps games and the more you play that fps your aim get even worse each match in my experience👍☕ (i was playing crossfire who always on desert clash wipe out to snipe the enemy like i was playing osu! And i can't see sh** using a rifle in far distance that they keep head shotting me🗿)

The fact that people try to improve their mecanics in one game by playing another game makes no sense. You also wouldn't play teniss to improve your football skills just bc they share the fact that they are played with a ball

after I started grinding osu, my hs % in valorant up to 30 xdxd

Osu increased my focus, speed and reflex in csgo

I play osu to get good at clicking and to make her happy

years of training for csgo wasted

imo osu is great for warming up but osu (while it can help a slight amount) issnt the best for everything else like reaction time, mechanical ability, and and overall awareness. You'd be better off using aim trainers and learning gamesence though the game itself

fps players thinking osu improves aim after watching top players play but they realize they dont play osu with a mouse

Personally I play osu! for the reaction time and to warmup my wrists lol

i'm a 4 digit in osu! yet i can't get silver in valorant lmaoo yeah i know it's skill issue, its just that if you want to get good at fps then play the game, not spend time clicking circles

IT might not but it improves your timing quite well and when shit goes down in fps you can probably react to it But also to a fucking pc newb as myself it will help me get used to aiming with a mouse and try to fix most of my problem i cant fix while practicing actual aim

Short and simple answer: no

I think OSU doesn't improve aim but improves how you use your mouse if your using mouse and keyboard

People really breath and go like "I'm going to play this weeb rhythm game that I've never heard of to reach the highest rank instead of playing the actual game"

I guess osu could help with reaction time and maybe tracking. I actually got better in a game bc of osu.

i believe osu is only good for tracking or eye tracking but doesn’t actually help aim

just love how he pronounced tenz as "TEN ZEE"

yes

if you want to get better at FPS games by playing osu, then play maps with high ar like 10 to get better reaction time, not aim.

Yes

tenzee

Osu can get you comfortable with moving your mouse but for getting good at aiming in a certain games you would need to practice those certain aiming scenarios like flicking with an awp in csgo or one tapping. Someone who is generally better or more comfortable with moving their mouse would have faster results after doing those scenarios

3:50 Anyone know what its the name of this map?

How is this beatmap in 3:19 called?

now I can legit say that I'm better than TenZ lol

If you already have fps experience osu! isn’t going to help you at all. osu! is a great way to learn basic mouse management - handling drift etc. If you’ve already mastered that stuff there is basically nothing to learn from osu!

short answer: no

NO I AM STILL HARDSTUCK DIAMOND

Tfw you play osu to drive yourself insane but also have fun. Barely even play fps lul (and by barely I mean not at all 😔 because my pc can't handle it. closest I do is gta5. Need better pc for stuff like csgo. Sadge.)

why did you pronounced tenz name like that

Which are the skins used in the "background footage" in this video? Thanks! :)

I play valorant to improve my aim in osu 🗿

Is it good for reaction time?

Whats the map called from 4:37 ?

Conclusion: We need 2D FPS games...

what's first map name?

Can this improve yoir aim in codm?

osu! is 2D and games are 3D so its not improving aim

Nyooms

Ugh I'm addicted to rocket league

Meh, I think play osu! just train your reaction not the aim

No thug you play on a tablet

just play mcosu on FPS mode

give me the skin please!

Whats the map called from 5:43 ?
