My 3 Years of Osu Mania 

Hi Everyone, This video is now more than a year old and I just want to thank EVERYONE who's shown their support and kind comments (yes i read all of them). I'm happy to have inspired all of you new/advanced players to get better at the game. It would REALLY help out if you could come over to my Twitch Channel : [ www.twitch.tv/xkibitz ] and drop a follow. ALSO if you have any further questions feel free to join my Discord Sever : discord.com/invite/P2rq3Pf (Jakads/Crewk/Cheewee/other pro players are in it owo) That's all from me, Have an Amazing 2021. Wishing you all the best :)

Gotta love that circle skin because it calls you an idiot every time you miss.

i still remembered my first time playing mania was on ur mac xD

holy hell, u rly developed fast, i’m stuck doing 4/5 stars and my highest S rank is on a 6.16*, i never challenge myself which is my biggest problem, this is some great motivation man. This was awesome, keep up the great work

i'm currently at a skill wall between 4 and 5 stars despite playing mania games for 2 years. videos like these inspire me to improve, despite a lack of results. thank you.

My first 5 star S rank was 'The Limit Does Not Exist [7k] Another'. My second 5 star S rank was 'Triumph & Regret [4k] Regret'. Of course both maps being overweighted. Lol. I've only been playing for like 8 or so months. I can't wait to see how much I improve by the end of the year. Hopefully I can get to 4 star in 10k and to at least Regular Dan 3 (and maybe LN Dan 3) in 7 key. Those are some pretty impressive SS's near the end of the video btw. Well played :)

I don't even know how i got here im still on 1 to 2 stars. I was hoping that at least the first clip would be worse than me but nope. Lol

if your earliest replay is bad then I might as well not even have osu! installed

Im into 1 month of playing osu mania and I can handle 4-5 star songs seeing this makes me want to even push through my limits more, Thanks a lot for the motivation man! I really hope that I can have a fun and memorable journey playing osu mania, who knows I might even make a video similar to this in the future!

I’ve been playing for a year and can barely play over a 4 star. I’ve hit a wall for a couple months now. I’m trying to improve. Glad I found this video :)

i started playing mania 8-9 months ago and this basically sums up my skillset, i now can pass high 4*'s and even galaxy collapse's first drop

Now I realized that practicing will give good results lmaoo

Hey man, this is like my third time watching this video and I just wanna say you are a really big motivation of mine. I started in around August of last year on 4k after a friend introduced me and this video is what motivated me to get actually decent at the game. Recently I bricked the keyboard on my laptop from going too hard on 3.5+ stars and couldn't play for almost a month. I was tapping out Sasageyo on my thigh so hard it started to bruise I swear, mania addiction is crazy. I just got a new Huntsman Elite which means I have about 500 dollars of razor accessories hooked up to a laptop that runs MC at 15 fps. Living the life out here. Getting back into mania however, its been tough. I'm struggling on maps I used to FC with my eyes closed and my motivation to persevere has been tanking because of it. Watching this video and seeing you hit a multi-month skill wall and yet still becoming as good as you are is really comforting. I guess It makes this seem not totally impossible. So anyway, yeah, thanks for showing us your journey, it makes the game seem possible.

damn bro, thanks for shoutouting my map

Dang even better then me but Ive been playing for two years and you already gotten better then me. Probably because I dont know how to improve my skill. but this inspire me to improve more since ive been at the same skill level for about 6 months now. Im stuck on 4 stars

This man took 6 months to get where I am after 3 years lol. This is good motivation to keep it going though, good vid man. Keep it up!

I started playing mania today... havent beat my first map yet but im only a quarter away from completing it, osu looks like it has a very high skill cap and it peaks my interest more than any other rythm games ever have, so i think im going to enjoy my journey with osu and thanks to you i know i dont totally suck when beginning, Thank you for making this video. :) Edit: Im on mobile so sorry for formatting issues or anything like that.

anyone have advice on improving long-note accuracy? i can play pretty difficult songs with hard patterns of normal notes, but i really struggle with long notes and regular notes mixed with long notes as well.

I’m so jealous you got to 5 stars in one year. I’ve been playing off and on for 3 years and I’m only just starting 4 stars

wow this video motivatede a lot when i started 2 months ago, now i can play 4,7+ stars maps with 96-97 acc, and im actually 39000 rank, i dont have friwnds who play osu mania and i didnt even know that i had a fast improvement, i dont know how i got that good in so short time since i never played any rythm game (execpt of gd but it is a music game) I dont know if i have talent or something but i think you inspired me, thank you.

cant wait for 2 more years to pass by and become as good as you g gamer man

Nice video So much progress in 3 years ! ! i have to say i like more your first skin more than the newest one.

The guy who put all his heart to this game

Holy dude you really have fast improvement I played this game for 3 years too and I still stuck at 7* LOL btw, your acc is insane

I've been playing rhythm games for 4 years, I've only been able to play up to 4 star maps, your progress is amazing, keep it up 👍

man, you're a fucking monster of mania. i don't see real good players of the mode , i hope u inspired a lot of players to improve her/she skills. i'm a old player(kinda 2017) but, in that year i don't give care about osu, i was i another game. today, i been playing since one year, and i started to play 4* maps. some chills lobbies for warmup, and another things. and in a year i become what i need to play this game properly, right now, after see your video; i have more to upgrade in my skills. greetings from argentina. you're a great player.

Chief Keef: I’m comin over Girlfriend: My dad is home Dad: no it’s okay I’ll leave

One of My favorite documentaries I’ve watched so far

I started playing osu mania a little under a week ago and im stuck on 2* maps, sometimes my eyes can't even comprehend what I'm looking at when I watch other people's gameplay

You are so good o.o .I remember spectating u in gatari and thinking wtf xd .Nice Video :)

Nice progress man it helps me a lot in planning when to change the difficulty and how to improve my skill thanks alot

I've been playing for 5 years (had big breaks because I didn't have any way to play the game, but sometimes I also got sick of it) and I am still stuck in 4* to 4,5* maps. I can barely S them, and I don't think I'll ever get past it, considering my scores were better 4 years ago I play this game mostly for fun, I don't have stamina nowadays, but it's frustrating to try to get better and never see any progress Anyone who got over this barrier is a god to me, your progress up to 5 stars maps is unreal

I've been stuck for about3 months on 3.25-3.5 star songs on regular osu! and cannot get past them at all and my biggest problem is accuracy, getting my cursor wherever I wanted was a cinche after I got used to a pen tablet, but clicking exactly with the beat is really hard for me, and playing mania might just be what I need, thank you for this

Very good guy, I've been playing since January, I like it a lot, but I'm still playing 3 ~ 4 *. But with practice I will be getting where I am, congratulations!

I almost quit mania because 5* is so hard. I actually dreaming on becoming no,1 on Malaysia :3 Thank you for making me motivated. Love your video!

Wooow you're sooo coool!😲😍 I think I've been playing for a year already and still I can't move up to the "next level" just like what you did. I'm stuck at having S ranks in 2.5 and some 3 star maps with an average of 95% accu from my plays. Then I can often get A's in some 3 to 3.5 star maps with 90-92% accu hahaha those are all only from 4k. I also tried playing 5k but those plays are again only at 2 stars haha😅 I'm using the Clean Skin because it placed the whole "note-falling stage" at the middle. For my key bindings, 1 and 2 from the upper left then / and * from the upper right of my keyboard and yes, I think they are wayyy too far from each other hahaha I'm playing on a laptop and I found that setup were more comfortable for the placement of my hands and arms. Again, because I'm playing on a laptop, I think I'm holding back from tapping so hard to my keys which sometimes the reason for me to miss a note haha (whenever I play, it keeps bugging me that I might destroy my keyboard if I tap too much haha) and got no budget to buy a dedicated keyboard tho haha🤣 And yaaapps, again you're so cool and great! Btw, how do you look through the notes? Do you follow looking them going down? Or you're fixing at a point (maybe) like they're on your 'peripheral vision'? 😁

I started playing FFR about 2-ish years ago, then I took a long break from it. Then recently I decided to start osu mania about a month ago and I'm regaining my skills :D I can S most 4.8 to 5.2 stars. But I suck at tech maps and long notes :P I hope to improve on them this video inspiring me

Improvements like this make me really proud. I'm a bit jealous tho. Lol my 12-year hiatus and age has finally caught up to me. I can't do what you're doing now. You'll definitely get better my guy. Keep going. Cheers!

Dang nice. Your improvement was insanely quick. I ended up hitting a skill wall and still am stuck for about 4 months now where I haven't been able to improve at all. EXCEPT for jacks I managed to get better at jacks but no matter how much I train tech, stamina, or speed skillsets I get stuck. I retry the same maps over and over. I try to find newer songs that also have those skill sets for sight reading. I can never seem to get past it. On some days I might be able to somehow beat the song but I was never actually able to read it and was more of just technical mashing to get past a specific part. I'm still stuck in the skill wall and am trying to complete maps on osu!mania but my progress is ether not there or very slow. I try setting goals and recording my runs to look back weeks later. But when I look at my progression I either go down or stay the same. I'm like rank 45k and my best map is triumph and regret which was my first 5 star map. Probably one of the easiest 5 star maps imo because its all jump trills 95% of the time. As of today I still am playing mania games. I tried a couple methods you did and will continue trying them but I'm kinda losing hope at this point haha. I've noticed ive been playing much more casually now and have just been doing 3 star maps just for fun but it isnt the same. I still really want to improve too.

Nice insane improvement, I’m not motivated for LN though lol and my acc is bad as I keep working on my speed. Maybe I should practice acc too

That intro song was ✨💛✨

3 years ago, I thought mania was so hard, because i hadn't developed the reading. I tried again this year, and its a lot easier. idk why

Hey, i saw this in my recommended homepage. This video is awesome, you could improve really good. Also i wanna flex here so lets begin. On May 19th 2021 i started playing 4-5 star map, and that day, i passed both 4 star and 5 star, somehow. Probably because I'm a RoBeats player and that day i grinded like around 700pp. Also, please play RoBeats and get some 200 gear power, then join someone in game with 500 gear power on hard song like difficulty 32-35 lol im sure u could beat him ; ) btw i played osu mania since January 2021 and yea thats it thanks for reading my long comment ahahah

This motivate me to play more curently i ca play 3-4 stars maps

that song is a banger :D

I remember my first time playing osu which is never because me is a broke ass ipad bitch

ah yes time to start my journey of osu!mania

very well put together video, i liked it

I've been playing since april everyday until now, and at the start of playing osu! I played on multi alot, and found some friends that help me set up how to play the game, and i could easily fc 3* map within 1 month of playing, and i started farming :' bcs my rank and my friend rank quite huge gap, and i'am bit surprised that i could do well with 4* farming map and 5* farming map, and finally i could pass my friend rank, and now i hit a skill wall :'. I can do well on stamina maps, but i'am pretty bad at chordjack, and jumptrill is my biggest challenge now :' i always suck at timing jumptrill :'. For example i can play top diff big money, and get 97% until the last jumptrill come i failed, and same as Algorithm, Nanamori, and Nano Death while my friend could easily get 94% in 2nd try. I tried changing skin etc, didn't work, so now i started hates jumptrill map, and improve my skill on LN and Tech map :' . Sorry for the long comment :'.

Your fast to improve im playing osu mania 2 years and im stuck and 3/4* maps

Wow dude that crazy that you got that good ive been playing for around three months and i can play around 3.78 to 4 is this good?? I'm really bad at long notes beatmaps

I have been playing mania for only half a year and have already passed 5 star (triumph and regret), I hope someday I can play like you(sorry for Google translate)

im going to start playing osu!mania maps more often.

Bruh I can’t even do a 1 star 4K map how do y’all do it. I’m really good at regular OSU with the circles but this is so hard

Damn nice progress bro, i remember my first play and it's just a 1 year progression that now i can only do 9 stars map but i could probably do much higher star maps if i have a better keyboard than the laptop keyboard i have now(it's a lil bit late input when i hit it)

3 months in mania, 39 hours playing. My best performance in a map has 118 pp. Still playing in my laptop. Currently working with the 4 stars maps.

I'm able to do ~3-3.3 star maps at A rank, I started a month ago (I think I have like 20 hours). Is that good progress?

Whoa you're improving so fast, I still trying to pass 2.4 xD.. btw, how many hours do you spend in a day?

Pretty pro gaming if I had to say

Just getting into mania and i use the Zsei skin too

I came from a roblox game called funky friday in roblox, and i play on roblox, it has been 8 months since and now switched to keyboard i can S some low 5 stars like nano death and i got 94 on galaxy collapse

i have a question! how do you get the keyboard cat overlay when streaming?

Now I'm inspired to only play mania!

im slowly going in the 5* area and my first 5* map i passed was the one i S'd first with 96% acc and 220pp

I’m also tracking my progress now thanks to these progress videos I’m doing okay I suppose, it’s been 8 months, I can do high 3*, I play like 1-2 hours a day, still can’t do freaking LNs which is the worst type of mania maps

Very interesting you switched to a membrane I also find that tactile boards help my accuracy but I am just not as fast but on hyper X aquas I can be fast and the acc is good

default osu mania skin is almost impossible to read even though you're playing for years

That was awesome! I was wondering at the end of your video, if you kept your membrane keyboard or not, or maybe you switched to mechanical 🤔

im hate slider's so bad but nice improvement bro ive played like 3 months i can beat 4 star maps my highest score is b in a 4 star map

Ive been playing for 5 months and still rarely pass 3.5-4.5 songs :). Anyways good videoo

Me when blend s song is first: HELL YEAH

Has played mania for exactly 1 year now still struggling so hard with jack 😂 I can do 5* stamina and LN but when it come to just 4.5* jack map I’m outta here

I think removing both 300 and 300+ from the skin like at 4:20 is a mistake. You were hitting early a lot without knowing it which probably led to worse ratios than if you had only 300+ removed. I only have 300+ removed and it helped me a lot with boosting my ratio even further. Obviously you can't concentrate on that during jumpstreams unless you're a very good player but at least on 1/2 taps or bursts it's pretty possible and beneficial. On that skill level it should help with building good acc fundamentals at least somewhat because there's not much going on in those maps most of the time and during those easy parts you can concentrate on '1milling' them instead of being bored Also btw I see many people get stuck at 4.5-5* which I think is partially related to the star calculator not doing its job properly. Starting from 5* maps it feels like they were given a random difficulty number. I even know a 4.5* map that is definitely a solid 5* and no it's not an sv nor an ln map. Never take star rating seriously at that point and better concentrate on what you're scoring. For example "I can barely jumpstream 220 bpm rn" or "I can barely play heavy jacks at 135 (270) bpm" and in a month you look at yourself again and see if you got any better at that. I know that people often say "my fingers just aren't fast enough" when it's just an illusion because it's a reading issue. When you aren't reading perfectly you have less time to react to notes and therefore less time to execute them. That's why exposing yourself to as many maps as possible is mandatory. Find patterns you're weak at and play them a bit more than other maps. Never fall into a trap of playing the same maps again and again and having a pool of like 20-30 maps. You will just skillcap at those maps which doesn't mean you improved in general. Play converts from stepmania. Use bpm changer for better experience. Also might change a skin and/or playstyle which can help with breaking the wall. I hope that helps at least someone

better than my 3 years. Just beat Galaxy Collapse after 3

watching him play for the first time, and finding out that apparently that is what noobs are makes me wonder what i am

kibitz skin v3: how did u make theese long notes?

I wish i could be as good as you most i can do is 4 stars i can fc 1-3 stars and I've only started playing for a month.

Alright, I'm 50hrs in and can S most maps below 2.5* but struggle to clear 3* maps. Don't know if it's slow progress considering this is my first rhythm game.Thanks for the inspiration coz being stuck here sucks!

holy shit man, i started in 2017 too and A/S some 5+ star maps after 1-2 months (thanks to other rhythm games not very similar to mania). however, my skill wall took a big hit within only the third month and i started neglecting the game from 2018-2020, only getting back into it recently the past week. your progress from starting off to SS-ing (not just an A...wow) a 6*+ is INSANE, no matter how long it took. i’d like to ask, what other advice/tips do you have to improve in general (maybe for LN coordination too) besides grinding? because i’ve an odd problem where my left hand’s coordination is much worse and slower than my right, having been this way since the start. thanks in advance man you’re a great player!

i started playing mania not too long ago since i couldnt improve at all on standard, then moved to etterna the next day, which has a different difficulty ranking but ill try my best to guess equivalents mainly couldnt improve due to the carpal tunnel standard was causing, mainly due to my chair and the gamemode not being too kind to my wrist started out playing the equivalent of 3* on etterna, and now im at around 4.9* i think its been about two to three weeks since i started also i kinda cant stand osu hitsounds when doing mania, which is mainly why i switched to etterna im improving faster than expected at least, i got a good speed and stream skill going, just gotta work on technical and handstream wish me luck

I'm still at 3 stars I don't even have the level to play multi :')

can you reach 6 star difficulty maps with a 1 dollar silicon membrane keyboard? just curious since i use it

The first time i play osu mania was on 2015 on my sister's old laptop

Can I ask sth? I am stuck getting s and a ranks on 3.9 to 4 star maps, and As and Bs on 4 star and above. How do I improve on accuracy? Thanks for this dude ur awesome for caring about us in the comments!! (Also I noticed that I mostly look at the left of my screen . Where do u look? For me it’s harder to do those maps where it’s mainly right hand notes

4:30 what keyboard is that? It sounds great

What switch do you use for your Ducky?

I guess we had the same thought on 5 star i was about to quit too

I've been playing osu mania for a day and Im impressed that I passed a 2 star map with a C

I have a question ¿should I save money for a mechanical keyboard? So I have been playing for a year or so, and I got a mem-chanical keyboard for christmas, it improved my accuracy a bit, but I had to switch to my laptop keyboard because it started to feel weird (like it slowed me down) so now I am getting into 4 star maps, but I feel like the laptop keyboard won't do the job. (sorry if my English is not good)

Im having trouble reading the 3.5+ star map

i've been playing for 5 months 2.5 hours daily and i can S galaxy collapse.

I always end up with my hands trembling

I have about 7 hours on mania and can get As and Bs on 3* maps, I wish I was determined enough to get as good as you ;__; I'm kind of not built for mania lol

This motivates me a lot, I've only been playing osu mania for 5 days and I am between 3.5 stars and 4.2, I hope that at the end of the first month I can pass 5star levels

I tried that #Hibiki skin, I can't figure out how to hit 300's lol.

What keyboard do u use now or rather what type of switch

Where do you focus your eyes on when you play hard maps? Is it on the upper side of the notes, do you focus on the score and play, or do u follow each note a bit?

Question, where do you look on the screen when playing? Thanks!

Im new to Osu Mania and was wondering is it necessary well not not necessary to change your keybinds because I play on the default and have seen many people change their binds

says he has bad accuracy his accuracy 92.28 me has:80.90
