GAME THAT MAKES YOU RUN INTO WALLS?? | Learning 7k osu!mania #3 

I prefer most when you're happy. I don't really comment and I myself can't play rhythm games anymore, so whenever I see you play I get vicarious happiness. If you're feeling good and having a good time, so am I.

hardest part of 7k for me is remebering to hit space

im glad you're still playing 7k! i think playing a mix of both o!m and quaver is probably the most enjoyable way of playing 7k, BMS charts feel kinda wrong with a 7k spread layout

Love the vids. Honestly, your personality and the content you cover (controllers, keyboards, and rhythm games) is what keeps me coming back to your vids. A lot of channels focus on overreacting or just the gameplay with no host. I’d personally focus on putting out content more often with less editing and saving the great editing for bigger vids. Your channel is really unique and you’re entertaining to watch but it falls off my feed so quickly or it starts showing me 3 year old vids. Hopefully you find a balance you enjoy!

tokaku mashes in 7k and gradually becomes an average fnf player 0:56

7:30 haha the classic, look at your accuracy and feel good in a slow section and then hit the wrong key

I've been playing 10 key to get better at my 7 key. I just started playing mania and VSRG's in general only recently. My weekly status update is I'm able to beat 1.8 star songs with an S rank. I should definitely try quaver too. Also don't beat yourself too much if you get a worse score then before. Some days will just be like that. I always try to work on my accuracy when that happens. Maybe FC some slightly easier songs. Update 3 months later since there has been no part 4 yet. I'm slightly above the skill level of Tokaku in this video. I S ranked the same diff of Maniera and Enigma (w/ halftime) she played in the video. I feel like playing 9 key has improved my 7 key more than 10 key has (probably because the patterns are more similar because there's only 1 thumb key). Unrelated to 7 key but I have S ranked a 2.95 star in 9 key. (The Distance feat. Nakamura Maiko) Just after updating this comment I S ranked Last Resort [Reba's HYPER] with a 96.64 over 3% higher than my previous play. O_O Update 2, about a week after the first update, I've now gotten to about the same star rank as I am in 4 key. My hardest S rank in 7 key is now 3.55 stars. I don't know what happened but playing 9 key a bunch has made me a god at 7 key all of a sudden. It's like passing the 3 star wall got me way higher then I was expecting. I'm expecting either a 3.7 star wall or 4 star wall next. When there's more quad chords or higher density. Update again 5/7/22, I'm now a Dan 0 player and have a high A rank on regular Dan 1. My LN's are still lacking. I have also surpassed my 4 key skills in 7 key. Unrelated I'm now able to S rank anything below 3 stars in 10 key. Update again 5/15/22: Just cleared regular Dan 1 today, but I still need to get way better at LNs, can't pass LN Dan 1 for the life of me. My training has consisted of DT on easier maps, full bracket, HT on hard maps, and just playing songs around my skill level. I need to train my LNs really badly by using Osu Lazer or soundsphere to convert maps to full LN, and then just play a bunch of LN maps. Update again on 6/26/22, I completed LN Dan 2 before beating regular Dan 2. I also completed my first 6 star and have been pretty stuck at around the 4.8 star wall. I'm thinking about hard practicing accuracy on quaver. I get around a 2.0 ratio on rice but I want to try and improve that to around a 3.0 or 4.0 after a week or 2. Maybe I'll train LN accuracy on there too. Oh yeah and I've passed the 3 star wall in 10 key :) Update as of 9/15/22 I've been acc training since the last update but have been stuck at the Dan 3 wall. Main reason I haven't improved too much is because I'm not straining myself enough. I should aim for 94% for improvement and S rank them later. My brain doesn't want to accept A ranks but it's probably one of the better ways to improve. Strain, then iron out the accuracy later. Update 4/25/23 I've been hooked on grinding 10k, a few weeks ago I passed BMS Dan 7 skipping BMS Dan's 5 and 6 (in 10k). I haven't had the will power to derust my 7k skills. It seems crazy for me to call 7k is physically demanding but that's how it feels at 5 stars. I feel confident I can maybe pass 7k regular Dan 3 if I spent a week with 7k. But I'm going to wait til my improvement plateaus in 10k. Update 10/5/23: Both of my BMS controllers have arrived and I'm now on the 14k2S BMS grind on Beatoraja. I've gotten to DP Normal dan 4. But close to DP normal dan 5. Even smaller playerbase but it's been really fun to see myself improve.

it's finally time

Please continue this series it was something that I genuinely enjoy and like to see you play don't let it die

you encouraged me to try playing 7k again and it's being really really fun. i tried a year ago but after a week i gave up, and this series made me want to play again. at first i hated using my thumb and that wall you talked about, but i found a circles skin and made it a lot easier to read, so now i can play like 3.5 comfortably. thank you tkk, very cool

You are filled with energy and joy !! Glad to see people are still playing 7k and the community is growing slowly but surely :) Keep up with the great content and its fun to watch you providing commentary for the many variety of rhythm games Local Boomer on 7k peace out ~

Congrats on your improvement and thanks for these videos! I'm glad to see that this is influencing people to start learning 7k. It's hard to find maps at the start (I really recommend playing bms or o2jam converts), but 7k becomes really fun once you've mastered the basic patterns.

I’m really proud of myself, the first rhythm game I started playing was fnf and I SUCKED. I was only playing normal mode week 1 and easy mode week 5, I’m happy to say I can now do Bad apple (hard) with one miss, almost Fc!

thanks for continuing the series

Love the new video format!

i really enjoy seeing you as a person grow, seeing your improvement and seeing you happy just fills me with joy. so id prefer a more relaxed vlog style series, maybe with a more edited and produced "recap" video where you go over the technicalities of your progress over the past couple of videos. i think thats a nice balance

Fun video to watch! I like the idea of the greenscreen jump interrupts cause it adds more personality and a different perspective, or extra pizzazz lol, compared to how your typical videos are seen. I kind of want to practice 7k cause overall it looks like something that'd be fun to do and a big flex lol. It's nice seeing that you are making progress on 7k! Good luck on further honing your skills!

you seem a bit more energetic and happy and thats awesome to see. and yes the improvement in quality is noticable and very much appreciated. also dont feel bad doing a fnf video from time to time if the ad revenue is really profitable. who cares if its following a trend or whatever. just make that bread.

osumania charts generally suck also, that’s a huge part of this. any good 7k chart is gonna be designed around the IIDX button layout because that’s literally what it is also it’s worth noting that even top level iidx/bms players don’t *consistently* full combo high level songs, like the idea that you will miss notes is kind of built into the game (which is also why the only scoring measure that matters is the EX score which is the total perfects/flashing perfects you get, ignoring combo entirely). to be honest i grew a lot faster in iidx when i just gave up on comboing and focusing entirely on just passing songs that were “above” my level, then you can go back and easily FC easier songs.

I remember when many years ago (literally in the 2000s), the stepmania community would ask chart creators to create chars with their favorite songs, it was obvious that with 4k (or rather with 4 arrows) it was easier, but even if the song was harder to play, they would create the charts in a stricter way and that would stick to the song (it was literally quite noticeable in harder charts and made the song more entertaining and if it's still hard, it felt like a good challenge). Now seeing how it is 7k in Osumania, I notice a lot how they make charts without any enthusiasm (in the sense that they really make charts following the song?) because you literally just press buttons many times every second but without following the rhythm of the song (which I hate), and take into account that in pop n music (I have played it a lot and I notice it a lot), being 9k, even if the chart has a very high difficulty, it is noticeable that they respect how each song sounds and make a good challenging chart (and not just press a bunch of buttons every second). Anyway, I guess it will be a bit late to answer this knowing when they uploaded the video but in itself, I would like to see more charts in osumania that you can see that they follow the rhythm of the song and not so much -insert press a huge amount of buttons in 3 seconds-

very happy you made another one of these

This is the first i've ever heard of Quaver, i think i'll give it a shot.

I recently found this journey of yours in 7k and it makes me wanna start 7k as well, Ive been strictly 4k ever since 2 stars and can now barely make 4 stars in 4k. 7k is gonna be hard but these videos inspire me for sure to keep trying.

love this up in quality 🥰

I finished Asobi Asobase, and I had the best laughter ever. I cried on every single episode. I love how misleading the opening is, it makes it hilarious. Thank you so much for recommending the anime, I really appreciate it. :)

as a rythm begginer (21 hours across every rythm game ive played) i really love watching your osu videos, seeing you play quaver is quite interesting

oi tokaku quaver player here, quaver can convert osu/etterna beatmaps in the settings

i'm in this journey too! thanks for the quaver tip.

highly recommend downloading coro's 7k megapacks, ~15gb of 7k combined with a wide range of difficulties

that class was so funny, really good video

Around the same time you started doing these 7key videos i got a faucetwo and started trying to get into sdvx. It was the first time i really had to learn a new rhythm game outside of guitar hero since 4key is kinda... basic. And improving in that game while watching you improve in this is such an interesting experience. it's so nice to see how universal the reaction to something as simple as upscoring on a map you've been struggling with can be. i started off barely able to play 12s and 13s on sdvx and now i can play most 16s, and even though they are two different games its so neat being able to watch someone else progress in something while you yourself are also trying to improve. These videos are what helped motivate me to keep trying! So thanks for being part of the driving force that helped me push through and improve, and i hope you keep seeing the growth you want to see with this game :)

quavers awesome, my main vsrg game

tokaku upload on a rainy day? hell yeah

On the same journey as you right now. Im looking to transfer to primarily a 7k player. I just had my first huge break in skill and am getting comfy with low 4*. Best of luck to you!

I've been trying to learn 7k on osu and its way harder than I thought mainly because having a middle key always messed me up

I always find myself hitting early in 7k. Certain skins seem to help keep it under control.

LES GOOO NEW 7K EPISODE!!

After seeing this video, my mind ascended, now my eyes see everything as stairs, our life is stairs, stairs supremacy

that intro was *mwah* (chef's kiss) perfect

Great videos i dont care if the content is changing, theyre fun

As a long time 7k player, yes, i would like to see you -suffer- progress on 7k 7k is hard, but it deserve more love Keep it up :D

YOOOO QUAVER TIME LETS GO

about the lack of o!m 7k maps the 7k osu mania server (unranked 7k archive) has tons of several gb megapacks to play

Hang in there, once you start building fundamental things in 7k, 7k becomes actually really fun imo

honestly, we'll probably be around no matter what you do. You are fun.

I been learning with you since the start, but damn you learning faster than me :(

Do what makes you feel happy, if that thing is videos on progress with 7k, then do it. I think I can speak for most of your viewers when I say, we enjoy whatever you post.

When I heard the star system is broken I immediately thought of 4.18 empress of screams

I actually enjoy playing 7k, it's just fun to move most of your fingers to hit the notes when you get used to it, I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment after beating a level I spend days on. The time I started playing rhythm game is when fnf came witthy mod came out, and when shaggy v2 came out, I thought why not practice 7k if I'm not going to be anywhere near to be a pro in 4k? So I started playing osu!maina 7k, and... it didn't last long mainly because I don't know how to get maps, it was until three months earlier I continued playing. Now, I usually play somewhere from 4* to 5* and get a A or B (except for some fake difficulties), sometimes if I like a song I will try to get an S. And that's the story why no one plays with me on Funky Friday anymore.

I will remember this class, thank you

idk, i just enjoy the series, im bad at rythm games and i actually like that i can watch you suffer for us and i actually just enjoy the channel xD

4:20 new series: tolaku leans SV

A super important tip when starting new keymodes or just mania in general is to focus on your MA ratio. I myself did not do this while starting out and it led to bad accuracy habits. If you focus more on MA than PA, eventually you'll get to the point where even if you make a serious mistake on accuracy while playing something, your MA will fix it for you.

Watching this video gave me anxiety, but the iquinix with gat black inks really sounds good!

you do whatever you want jolene because you are always poggers

I love your videooooos

Thank you teacher tokaku

Tokaku: no i don't need headphones for rythm game

7K has an extremely rough starting point, in osu that's until like 4.5 stars (if we assume that stars are anyhow accurate) but then it just becomes the most satisfying thing ever. So long as I keep even a little bit of improvement it's much more satisfying than 4k.

I remember seeing a post long time ago where they put like a course of 7k and you need to get and s on each section before going to the next one, would be cool if you try that on a video

Can't wait for a 1vs1 against sillyfangirl

7k best gamemode and test of skill of all modes

Not many people like 7k, but I remember the days of O2Jam, and those were fun.

Some things I'm gonna point out if you ever play more Quaver: 1. You can import BMS, osu, and etterna maps into Quaver, and you can auto import osu and Etterna maps + collections (Options -> Misc -> Load Songs From Other Games) 2. SV charts are crazy in Quaver, you can do negative SVs and stuff, that Vitality chart is a good example 3. You can press Ctrl + 0 to toggle the pitch changing 4. You can play in the song preview window (View Map button) if you press Tab Also yeah Quaver community is pretty small especially for 7k, think new players are automatically 200k and most people play 4k lol

hey tokaku you first video made me want to try to 7k but i gave up coz I couldn't get an S for 2.5-3 stars maps. This vid made me wanna try out quaver and 7k again

you can import osu! mania charts into quaver if you just perfer playing quaver or like the advantages of it, so just keep that in mind!

I’m actually trying to improve at 7k too (currently able to play 3*s too) it’s kinda cool to be able to watch people play and showcase 7k at a difficulty I’m struggling at rn lol

Tokaku playing Quaver 😱

there are coro's 1 & 2 megapack and osu trainer to set rates

I played 4k mania for a bit and got stuck at the 2.8-3 star ++ range and gave up lmao, I couldn't really read, there was too many notes too fast for me to process

Bruh i just downloaded quaver yesterday and then this vid pops up 👍

i have a friend who's ranked #11 in turkey in osu mania and him and i have been trying to learn 7k together. damn i agree with you when you say that 7k is not fun.

Omg you play quaver im 4 digit in 7k and was happy you joined

Wow, Tokaku just did a Professor Lando for a second there

amazing performance and improvement, inspired me to start playing 7k meself and so far so good and can't wait for more episodes [if u feel like doing more]

my own 7k adventure has been interesting, i can reliably pass 2*s with a B and a single 3* B in one day but past that improvements been rough

next jakads

You have to try CTB, it's the best. Also, CTB is one of those "hard to learn, hard to master", but ironically it's also the most relaxing compared to other modes, even on 5*. It's satisfying, idk why. There's something elegant about playing CTB.

Is the halftime mode like the song going at halfspeed?

If you want to play some osu! maps with the quaver mods you can drag and drop the map onto quaver

I dont exactly remember how, but I found some way to import mania maps from osu into quaver. Makes it easy to practice songs I like If I cant find it on quaver

My one pet peeve is the fact that osu mania beatmap makers make it ridiculously difficult as the star rating goes up. It's definitely not noob friendly and it makes it harder to get better (at least in my experience)

what keyboard are you using? i need it its so good looking and the sound is just perfect.

I hope that osu has to put an option for left scroll,middle scroll, and right scroll ‘cause going to the skin.ini its such a pain

pogchamp 1:18

Teo outro yooooo

this is a stae, everything is a stae

guys, can someone tell me how to play iidx? after I got the controller and have no idea what's next

My 4k brain playing 7k: spacebar? Never heard of it.

Do you or anyone have any Kebind suggestion for fnf

Been having the same damn prollem

there is an osu!standard remake on roblox called osu!RoVeR and it’s actually pretty good but you have to enable sliders in the settings and it doesn’t save.

Would this be harder than Djmax 8key? just wondering..

Jakads be dying of laughter watching this

I stop 7k when i hit wall cause it didnt seem fun then i play 4k and when i come back to 7k the wall just gone and now my problem rn is speed and reading ln and stream honestly 7k will be more enjoyable if i only found a lot of denpa song and sv maps then i put flashlight and play em like i used to do in 4k

3:13 whats that 4k mania skin ive been looking for it for quite a while

this series game me enough motivation that i got my first 200pp on 7k

Noice vid

I recently tried 7k mania oh god its sooo different from 4k. I am a rank 3000 in mania and i legit cant do more than 2* on 7k

Is there any future animation videos coming?
