Kinda late reply but it is exactly what the guy said, the flow state of your mind. There is a very good video explaining and showing how to "get into the flow state" for fps games but it can be apply here as well
These tips aren't going to tell you to change certain settings or buy certain peripherals because everyone's playstyle is different - life would be easy if all it took was a couple of tweaks to make you improve in the long-term. They instead explore some fundamental concepts that you have to understand in order to progress relatively smoothly no matter what playstyle you have or intend to have! and plz enjoy game
I've played under 3 hours and I got my first S rating thingy on an easy map :D I know it might not be impressive to some since the map is very easy but I was so happy haha. I put the map on sudden death and just kept playing until I cleared it and when the score screen came up I had a mini celebration dance haha. It's really fun to see improvements like that! :D
This video is basically everything I ever wanted to tell any osu! beginner or other more experienced players that are stuck. I'm sure even people with more playtime can appreciate this, I certainly do!
Okay tonehh I finally did it. I spent these past 2 months training alternating, bursts, streams, finger control and accuracy just how you said in the last video, and it really showed results, my acc went from 85 to 94 in this short period of time Thanks dude, just thanks
The best time to try playing mods is probably around the 5-5.5 stars nomod comfort range. If you can FC 5-5.5 stars nomod, then try putting DT on 3 stars and HR on 4 star maps. It gives a good starting point.
This is quite literally one of the greatest gaming-related videos I have ever seen. I hope you recognize how awesome this is :). Please keep the posts coming
Thanks for this content! I am someone who avoided learning the streaming fundamentals for around my first 500 hours in the game and it has come to bite me in the back, hoping that other people who see this video don’t make he sane mistakes I did! This series of improvement videos are really going to help people in the long run from what I can see! Great content as always Tony ^w^
Same lol Got a tablet last week and had to switch hands (righty w a mouse, lefty w a pen) so I'm taking the opportunity to not make the same mistakes I made as I relearn and rebuild my tapping
thank you. what a lot of people often forget is that osu is a *game* . above all you should play it to have fun. enjoy the game like you first did, play maps to songs you like etc. the point someone starts to not have fun and just care about ranks/pp is when it stops being a game.
Also don't forget to take breaks. I don't mean hour-long breaks, I mean don't be afraid to take multiple days off to take a break. Wrist health is important. You will develop rust, but it's not like you'll completely suck. Coming into the game having taken a few days break is always refreshing.
U know, improvement does come out of nowhere. Yesterday I'm expecting another normal day of osu, then suddenly got my first ever 6* FC out of nowhere lol
I'd be curious on a video breaking down mouse usage, people have a ton of different ideas on ideal tablet settings but the mouse is never talked about.
Since i started i kept seeing people asking those kinds of questions, i wouldnt have asked them personally cause i didnt care, i was just having fun with the game, but i still read through the answers, "play more" and "ignore pp", i was doing that already and kept doing it. Im not what youd call a good player now, but i still have a lot of fun and i will trust any tip that a more experienced player has to give me, afterall they should want me to love the game as much as they do.
As someone who is still a beginner (I’ve been playing for about a month and have around 50-75 hours), I’ve found that during sessions where I spend some time doing maps that are very difficult for me (a bad B or lower) and some time trying to get some A’s to S or try to get some high B’s to A are the sessions I see the most improvement after. Only playing comfortable maps leads me to very very little improvement, while only playing really difficult maps leads to me being more inconsistent and less accurate overall on all maps.
Im a 5 digit and i still kinda play it aimlessly in specific skills like streams, i start from mid 6 stars then scroll to maps that i like and play them or i just play icdd maps its great fun even tho i get c ranks, but i still try to maintain my fingers like trying to not tense up super hard
Your channel is super underrated and INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. You broke down these hardcore and scary concepts that loom over the majority of the beginner player base, and the fact you cover EVERY SINGLE TOPIC couldn't make me more reassured and happy to continue playing and have the understandings that took you all so long to figure out completely. :)
I have been playing table tennis for years and new players always want to improve to fast and buy a expensive Table Tennis Racket before they even know what's there style of play. I can only tell them how the movements should look but to learn them they have to do it themselves. It's the same with everything you want to get good at I guess. I also cube a lot and you have to solve the damn cube to get better and then spot your mistakes.
I went from 97%-98.3% profile acc in a few weeks, and this video definitely shaped my mindset while I did so. Thanks for the good content mate. You are the reason I didn’t become a jump 1 trick.
Only a week in , severely addicted at this point. Went ahead and tried to HR DT every low star map to prepare to get used to the tempo of new star ratings , because just going to 3 stars after being able to SS 2.4s with ease is a large jump. I can’t track the notes easily, nor can I relax my hand on the mouse.
bru I watched the entire vid and holy u can see the effort on this mans words I have genuinely improve with his las vid and I think was thinking of quitting since the game wasn't fun anymore but after I watched this video that was hella funny, My mind change and now I just won't go ahead an and practice streaming (is gonna be a Pain) and start to enjoy more the gem I loved for the past year Thx man for another awesome vid
i feel attacked when you said that "i only play HD", because i only played that mod to help me with reading patterns lmao, it even works on low AR too xD
Oh god this video made me realize how much I cared about the numbers Also frenz’s vid on when you should start mods is a pretty good one to tell you when to star certain mods
I watched this video and disagree, setting a pp requirement for mods isn’t great from my point of view - there’s not a pp requirement for anything in the game
I just wish i had a consistent and good grip that lasts longer than 2-3 days or a week tops, or a tablet area that feels comfortable :( 6 years and still struggling with this, which takes a massive hit on my motivation and enjoyment sadly
i watched this back when i was a 6 digit and thought that the "learn the fundamentals" tip really helped me improve my gameplay. Now i'm 5 digit (59k), farming Hard + DT leaderboard, feeling hardstuck, only to be reminded of the fundamentals by this same video.
Both of his videos on osu! improvement set 99% of their focus on having the right mentality when playing the game rather than just techniques. It is something I don't see so often in any videogame guide, which is why I appreciate these types of videos the most. Clap that up, y'all.
Idk if this will help anyone but i am very new to osu so idk if this tip works im trying to use it, anyway i play a lot of beat saber and i can confidently say im not new at the game and one thing i will do a lot is try a map thats a little above my skill level and keep failing and retrying untill you feel you are not progressing then go play a map you can do for a bit or stop playing either way just take a break then come back to it, that seems to help me a lot and it kind of has been working with osu
"fuck i can't spin the spinner like a normal human being" Look! It's me! I cannot explain to you why I keep playing this game considering my hands are extremely shaky and I have terrible anxiety paired with a crippling perfectionism.. might be some closeted masochism or something, but goddamn does all that make the spinners hard for me to pull off and especially if it isn't the end of the beatmap. I'm doing better with them now that I have a tablet compared to using my mouse, but it still kills more attempts than I like to admit. Admittedly I'd probably improve faster in general if I just stopped caring about having a 100% profile acc.. q.q
im in osu for 2 months now and I can do 5 star maps..thanks for ur tips tonehh....although i skipped a lot like (getting consistent 97 percent on 4 stars) but i just went ahead to 5 stars...i dont regret it tho....i got better faster :D
9:30 moment is like what 100+ hours of my gameplay are really appeared to be. Yep, I am here from the video about begginers, although, i already had 2100pp and You know what, thank You dude, Your videos saved me from quiting osu and believing in myself again
Yes. I am a five digit that has a skill of a 7 digit so im allowed here. Plus im here to improve my aim, even a 7 digit can beat my aim though i can stream 200bpm Edit:Tonehh made me a stream player from an aim player with bad acc to a 200bpm 6* stream pass
after 2 months, my acc went from 87% to 96.3% (i'm still not finished). your previous video made me realize how fun it is to play comfortable maps. thank you for making that video !
I really appreciate these videos, i've been playing osu for maybe like 10 months now and i really love the game, it became a part of my life really. I just want to get better at the game so i can play cooler maps/even more maps. I've been stuck on the same star rating for a half year now and i can't seem to improve, i download more maps, try to get to know other fundamentals and trying to master them, but i just can't improve, these videos have really helped me out for the past week and you are probably my current favourite osu teacher (if i can say it like that xD). I don't want to get better so i can have a higher rank and enter tournaments and stuff, i really just wanna get better to play even more maps. Thank you for the videos you make, you are horribly underrated.
so i started back again like 2 or 3 weeks ago and i whent from being able to pass 4* jump farm maps to now play some 5* songs without Nf and higher 5* songs with ~85% (trying to get out of my comfort ar zone with that) and sometimes i can feel a big differenc i was so frustrated when i last played the game 2 months and no progression other then a lucky Dt 99% on a 4 min song ( from my fav artist aswell)wich game me my top play of 111PP other then that i have 3 100% dt with 1 hidden farm maps and onother farm map... anyways your videos helped me improve i cant talk for everyone though so thx from my side!
being hard on yourself because you cant rise in ranks really does effect how you play. back when i was 400k i was really paranoid on pp farming and never really cared about how i played or accuracy then i eventually stopped because i found fun unranked maps. after playing unranked and loved maps for a week or two i really enjoyed the game again and tried farming and there i went to 200k faster than before.
31:28 thats exactly the advice ill follow, i havent considered playing though a map no mod before doing ar 10.3. I simply have Put on DT on some AR9 maps i Sightread passed with DT and went on with it. Illy definetely try that later when i start up the game :)
the one thing that i think hes wrong about is about how long the progress takes, im not a god at osu but i I've been playing osu for around 2 weeks on my bed with a mouse on a weak laptop that i bought to do my homework on quarantine and i can comfortably play 4 star maps
Questions like "is heavier or lighter pen better?" Aren't stupid IMO. Because you are better with whatever you are comfortable with. That means it's not a stupid thing to want to get comfortable with something that is better / has a higher potential skill. Like asking that question is not necessarily about getting better RIGHT NOW but ensuring you don't make major mistakes that are harder to fix later.
One thing i dont get: How. The fuck. Do osu players have PERFECT ROBOTIC movement? It doesnt look human, i can do a map and be slow, shaky hand, and not precise with the circles at all How the fuck do you guys have a perfect almost god-like movement?
HI i am high 6 digit player 100k and i have 89 acc in osu becouse I CHALLENGING my self i have maybe 230 h in game and i know how to play XD but ok, i back to 5 star maps to fix my acc and what? I progressed yeah i passed dead to me ar 10 in 90 acc low but it was challenging. Thx for u to make this video. appreciate that.
"find your weaknesses and act on them" I only have been playing for a year and I'm already trying to do 6 stars but I cant because of course I've only been playing for a year and I've tested my skills and my acc is good enough for 10*'s and up but my tapping speed is only good for 2-4 stars so I'm working on my tapping speed and I have done 6-11*'s (yes 11 stars) with Relax only and got a C-A on them but I've taken the tips people have said and It really works (my english is bad sorry)
9:24 hmmm flicking wrists around everywhere randomly yeah prolly not great for osu! but... sounds like a good *beat saber* strategy though /j (not really. thats a guaranteed fail since ur not R E A D I N G ) oh yeah, heres the best question ever: if you use a promethean board to play osu! and there is a book on a desk, can someone climb a 12 ft high wall?
I wouldn’t advise focusing on a single skill like jumps but you’ll find lots of maps with jumps just by downloading beatmap packs, check the training maps section in our discord as well
When I was around 800k to 400k I was jus playing 3-5 star maps with mouse and then I was liek "ayo let me see if I can rekt this 6 star map" and failed miserably although I kept playing and actually passed it somehow and i got by. Right now I am 103k in the game and still planning to get gud
Loved the video! came from the video about the inability to stream/burst and did the rehabilitation and feel super good about it thanks, dude. real lifesaver!
That fourth tip helped me realize how much I'm conparing myself to others. I felt bad that my rank is 'only' 55-60k with 500+ hours of playtime and that it didn't improve since early 2020 until now. I'm trying my best to just have fun but it's really hard because I had that bad mindset for a year.
I have 377 hours and I just want to get out of 6 digit. Passing 7 star streams is my only realistic long term goal. Really nice video btw pretty much confirmed or answered every single thought I had.
When I play, I like to think that rather than playing for ranks or pp or passes or FC's or SS's, I play to get better at the game so I can play more songs and maps that I like! Since there are no easier ranked diffs of songs like Cry Thunder or Cycle Hit
So what you’re saying is ITS ABOUT DRIVE ITS ABOUT POWER WE STAY HUNGRY WE DEVOUR PUT IN THE WORK PUT IN THE HOURS AND TAKE WHATS OURS and become an osu champion
Started playing osu! like anyone else but after a short amount of time i saw relax. This was the worst thing i've ever can do. I started to play hard maps with RX (DADADADA, Bitter chocolate, Win the Race, etc.) Yes, I liked to pass these maps with 10 or maybe 30 misses. I enjoyed it, but after a while, I realized what I couldn't improve my skills with RX on and I started to play w/o RX and on low star maps. It felt disguisting. Very low AR (
i most definitely play to have fun but i will have more fun to play with the skin on 10:25 so when r u gonna send link plz maybe :3 also loved both this and previous tips videos i been watching some tips videos and most of common tip is have fun play more enjoy the game so funny for tip but is actually so true cause it just comes down to playing the game its not life where u have to follow rules and do things u dont want to. I might have worte a whole lot lol
