Yeah, that's because this video is useless and literally just common sense, but hey gotta get those osu! beginner views right? Sigh, I guess it does help some people so eh
Except fighting games, just playing a lot doesn't do much up until certain skill level. i know people who play often since 10 years ago and are still at the same skill level. That's probably also true for RTS games
I've already seen this video, back when I was still struggling to pass 4 stars, and it just appeared in my recommendations again. Almost all of this is great advice. My only real gripe is that mouse is a perfectly viable playstyle, especially if you don't want to spend hundreds on a tablet you'll use for only 1 game. Also never noticed before that your outro music is Teo, so nice.
7:18 From experience: 3-4 stars is a land without rules. You can FC one 3.5 star, then go to another 3.5 star and it's 2 stars harder. Then go to a 4 star and you get 1 miss on your sight read.
@@BigLesbian This is because a lot of reading and technical skill maps are sitting in 4-5* zone. It will stay the same even when you will comfortably play 6-7* maps because its just a bit of a different skillset.

yeah, don't. But I wonder why 99% of the people in top 50 use a tablet. Maybe it's because it's all preference and not because it offers an advantage in any way such as lack of mouse drift ^_^
Also, I like playing charts that are a little over my skill level, because they have more skill types and faster gameplay. When I go back to play something a little easier, it actually helps out a lot by making me more proficient at some of the skills that I already know and use.
Impressive this practice habits can be applied in everything else you do in your life as well! Most guides I've read on games never or hardly do this kinda thing!
To be honest, that is how I approach any form of competitive game nowadays. I realise that when one starts to tilt in anything & starts getting worse at it, he/she is not having fun at all & really should stop playing & take a break because I was like that in the past. Now, when I make mistakes in-game, I just shrug it off & have a short mental reset as many great esports players do when they lose a game or a series. As DotA's N0tail said at TI9, "Just remember why you sat down to play for the first time and why you keep sitting down to play" & "Some of the best games are still spent losing." That is where one can improve the most in my opinion.
I entirely relate to Tokaku's last point in the video. I'm the type of person that will play a lot of maps either a little bit too difficult for me or way too hard and just try to pass. It's been years since I stopped caring about pp score and I'm definitely enjoying osu a hell of a lot more since.
@@MechaStorm7 I play the game the same way you do really, I mostly play maps I can "barely" pass (like, get a C with 85% acc, depends on the map), along with some slightly easier ones. I dunno, playing easy maps before hard ones mashes me more consistent
one thing you forgot to mention: YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. i have seen countless people just click the circles when they appear, not when they are supposed to be hit. new new begginners do this, mostly.
Started to play the game in the first day of this year, and i am almost getting to 4* maps... And i dont even have the money to get an wired keyboard u think that i would be good with the mouse? I just want to play till 5* for now, so would the wired keyboard be better than the tablet?

I know of a way to save this comment... You're used to playing maps with 7-8 stars, so the much slower speed needed for 1 star maps just messes you up.
Osu reminds me a lot of Cytus from back in the day. I loved playing that game because like I was too into playing it, plus getting better at it was really fun. So this might be a good thing to pass time
I only played fast maps and now even though I'm decent my timing on any maps under 4.5 stars I'm awful because my brain tells me "Circle! QUICK GET IT!" Don't be me
The best guide for a beginner! As a osu player who plays since, like, 3/4 months, i really agree with what you say and learned some new things, you're the best osu youtuber! (i feel like my english is trash wtf)
I actually start doing rhythm games at the higher rated maps, mainly with ones like arcaea or project diva where there are harder concepts as you go on. Even as a beginner in project diva two years ago, I started out playing normals and hards the first day I got the game, had sincerely never even touched the game before. To me, it allows you to understand more difficult concepts sooner, but that's just my take.
some things that i'm only beginning to realize as someone who's played osu on and off for 3 years and consistently for a bit over half a year: - you will still get pp for playing lower star maps. just do well on those maps. - you will still improve if you play lower star maps. just focus on doing well and being consistent on those maps. - you will still climb rank if you play lower star maps, as long as you do well on those. - if you fail a map more than 10 times in a row, you're just not ready for it yet. don't try to power through it. - you can only play so much osu in one sitting. it's a physically taxing game. not everyone can just pick up the game and play for an hour. break up your playing time-- play for 15 minutes to begin with, and then rest and do something else. it takes a lot of training for your brain and body to be able to focus at that level for a prolonged period of time. at this point, i am only able to maintain my best performance for about 40-50 minutes at a time. it takes time. - be patient. - play songs that you like. - try to get maps that have a lot of different difficulties. if you know the song from playing one map and you improve, you can go back to it and play the harder difficulties. not only does this make it easier and reduce the need to hunt for new maps, you can also visibly see how much you've improved, which will keep you from getting discouraged. - if you feel like you suck after playing for a couple of months, go back and play a map from a couple of months(even weeks) back. you will see-- you've improved. as long as you play consistently, you will improve no matter what. your brain is constantly adapting, and things will get easier without you even noticing.
I think I’ve been doing the exact opposite for the past month? I’ve been playing the game on and off for 3 years, mainly playing 2 star maps just to relax with friends. Well about three weeks ago I decided that I wanna improve on osu. And what I did is- play a 3 star map that I failed the first 3 seconds until I could pass it. I don’t know how long I sat on the damn computer, it must’ve taken me more than 300 tries in one sitting. BUT I passed it, with a C but I still did!(tenshi tekki teppou I think it’s called? A jump map) And then I went to the next 3 star song, and it took me 50 tries, then the next and it took me 20 tries, then the next and so on so forth until I could pass the 3 stars on my first try. (This happened over the course of like 4 days) When I went back on the two star maps, they seemed boring af and so slow I couldn’t play them, even I used to struggle on them like 4 days ago. After I could consistently get B’s on three star maps on my first try, I moved on to 4 star maps and repeated the same thing. Failed miserably, then less, then I started being able to at least pass the low 4 stars on my first try. I can now pass 4.5 star maps with less than 10 tries! Working on moving on to five stars, and all this improvement happened in 3 weeks. I went from thinking that 3 star maps were unbeatable to thinking they’re hella slow. Went from 200pp to 525pp within these three weeks :p. Yesterday I downloaded the fancy drivers for osu, I was used to a bit of input lag so it’s kind of halting my progress but I’m slowly getting used to it and it’s probably gonna help in the long run. Can’t draw with the tablet now though ;~;. Maybe some people would prefer to take it slowly, and maybe that works better for them. But I don’t think your advice applies for everyone. I think if I follow your advice I would have better accuracy tho lol, I went from 95% to 88% xd because of all the fails.
@@hentaislayer9642 that sounds like an awful frustrating time for me, but if you are having fun, keep going!!! in the end it's all just a game and having fun should be your main priority
@@ghostanimations3 opsu wont let you upload scores and i dont think it will. Its hard to download maps and you cant log in A better alternative (IMO) is lazer, you CAN log in and you CAN use direct. I also think it can sumbit scores but i am no enterly sure. The skin is very pretty although you need a fAirly high end mobile. Just my opinion
@@renaiky2652 same i started two days ago and i thought i was a true gamer by using a mouse and keyboard cause me don’t know how to use a tablet or what the tablet is 4
yep i've noticed that i've improved more with playing maps that are a bit harder than what i can handle, and usually can't beat, i sleep on it, and i get better
I literally started playing Osu! today. Thanks for all the advice and things that I shouldn't do. I have some experience for mania, (and by that I mean literally just scouting out FNF mods every week and beating them) but that information is still useful.
Oh by the way, about the bluetooth headphones: most rythm game have a note offset option in the settings, so when setting up the offset, wear your headphones. You might have to recalibrate every time but ut works for me!
MY mistake was I didn't know how slider worked at first, so I would click on the start and click on the little circles inside them when the ball went over it. I had to replay the tutorial until I figured out how it worked.
i noticed one thing in rythim games, if feels pointless to keep playig until u are good at it, then it gets really fun, and then it gets frustrating again and you go on to the next game
Just to make sure everyone understands: 1 and 2 star maps are almost equally hard. 3 and 4 star maps are almost equally hard. 5 and 6 star maps are NOT almost equally hard, they have a difference. And everything above this too. 8-10 star maps are impossible.
well I just started osu and im not any of these 4 I just heard about the game osu and started playing and since I started this stuff up I found your channel
when i started playing osu, i was playing freedom dive and i had a grand total of 17% accuracy, now I'm top 200, here's to another person that u saw improving from spamming shitpasses, tokaku
@@tokaku well then i moved onto spamming aim maps so i dont know where i stopped, i think at around 7k pp or something, thats when i was spamming lugal ki en last diff end part and had like 40% acc, then i moved onto actually ok maps, but still
Well maybe patterns play a huge part E.x. on mania I easily got an A on some 5.9* maps , but struggling on some 4ish* maps because they have patterns I can hardly read
Being a (semi) top player myself, I just want to suggest one more tip: Enjoy the game. I've noticed time and time again that those who don't find osu! interesting don't perform very well. Also, if you're a player that have played this game for a while and want to get better but you find yourself constantly struggling to improve, take a week long break or so and come back, you'll find yourself refreshed. After all, osu! is supposed to be a rhythm game, not your job.
I wouldn't suggest constantly retrying the same map for two reasons. 1. If your goal is to improve, playing the same map won't get you anywhere; it'll seem like you're getting better, but in reality you're becoming too familiar with the map. 2. If you constantly retry, you may develop a "mind-block", which is essentially flawed muscle memory that constantly makes you combobreak on a certain note/section. edit: Rule of thumb for me: if you keep retrying a map and miss twice in a row on the same section, especially on the same note, stop playing.
I am after a few breaks like that. Every time I came back I was rusty as fuck and had to derust and regain my skill for at least week (usually more). Not even mentioning that I didnt feel "refreshed" and wasnt any kind of better at the game.
As an FnF fan who recently moved into the osu! landscape, discovered your channel, and is experiencing a VERY steady climb in my ability to beat(survive) 3star+ difficulty osu!, This was an appreciated vid. keep up with the good work!
Stargazer xx Honestly when i first started jump maps really helped me improve at least IMO but i would say that only doing jumps and forgetting about other aspects like stacked or streams can really mess you up :< like now i'm really good with jumps but have to learn how to stream.
I started to get better at streams with around 500h in game. Still nothing special, couldnt FC the entire maps. I recommend playing maps with bursts, then extend to streams x3
The most important fact about osu! is that everyone as a community is getting better the more they play. A few years ago, a 1,000 pp play was said to be impossible but now there are a few just in the past month! Now you can argue that maybe mappers are figuring out the tricks behind high pp numbers but thats besides the fact. As long as you play regularly you will at some point see big improvement, but sometimes its whether or not you notice yourself improving which can become a roadblock for your mental state which negatively impacts performance.
Glad you explained about high end equipment. I use a standard Dell keyboard and can pull off 4 to 5 stars consistently and rarely pull of 6 to 7 star 😂
that part about not going instantly for hard things was immediately true when i first started playing fnf i was stuck on week 1 hard mode for about (ironically) a week im better now and see that it was a stupid mistake. and yet here we are

3: ahhh god help me

The best guide for a beginner!
As a osu player who plays since, like, 3/4 months, i really agree with what you say and learned some new things, you're the best osu youtuber!
(i feel like my english is trash wtf)
I actually start doing rhythm games at the higher rated maps, mainly with ones like arcaea or project diva where there are harder concepts as you go on. Even as a beginner in project diva two years ago, I started out playing normals and hards the first day I got the game, had sincerely never even touched the game before. To me, it allows you to understand more difficult concepts sooner, but that's just my take.
"You suck, play more."
Not the words we wanted to hear, but the words we needed.
This is what I've been telling myself even after I passed my first ranked 5* maps hours ago.
some things that i'm only beginning to realize as someone who's played osu on and off for 3 years and consistently for a bit over half a year:
- you will still get pp for playing lower star maps. just do well on those maps.
- you will still improve if you play lower star maps. just focus on doing well and being consistent on those maps.
- you will still climb rank if you play lower star maps, as long as you do well on those.
- if you fail a map more than 10 times in a row, you're just not ready for it yet. don't try to power through it.
- you can only play so much osu in one sitting. it's a physically taxing game. not everyone can just pick up the game and play for an hour. break up your playing time-- play for 15 minutes to begin with, and then rest and do something else. it takes a lot of training for your brain and body to be able to focus at that level for a prolonged period of time. at this point, i am only able to maintain my best performance for about 40-50 minutes at a time. it takes time.
- be patient.
- play songs that you like.
- try to get maps that have a lot of different difficulties. if you know the song from playing one map and you improve, you can go back to it and play the harder difficulties. not only does this make it easier and reduce the need to hunt for new maps, you can also visibly see how much you've improved, which will keep you from getting discouraged.
- if you feel like you suck after playing for a couple of months, go back and play a map from a couple of months(even weeks) back. you will see-- you've improved. as long as you play consistently, you will improve no matter what. your brain is constantly adapting, and things will get easier without you even noticing.
noice, can litteraly be applied to almost all games
I passed my first 4 star map in 84 fail in a row when ı passed my fingers are ached so hard that ı understand ı shouldn't do this again
I think I’ve been doing the exact opposite for the past month?
I’ve been playing the game on and off for 3 years, mainly playing 2 star maps just to relax with friends.
Well about three weeks ago I decided that I wanna improve on osu. And what I did is- play a 3 star map that I failed the first 3 seconds until I could pass it. I don’t know how long I sat on the damn computer, it must’ve taken me more than 300 tries in one sitting. BUT I passed it, with a C but I still did!(tenshi tekki teppou I think it’s called? A jump map) And then I went to the next 3 star song, and it took me 50 tries, then the next and it took me 20 tries, then the next and so on so forth until I could pass the 3 stars on my first try. (This happened over the course of like 4 days) When I went back on the two star maps, they seemed boring af and so slow I couldn’t play them, even I used to struggle on them like 4 days ago.
After I could consistently get B’s on three star maps on my first try, I moved on to 4 star maps and repeated the same thing. Failed miserably, then less, then I started being able to at least pass the low 4 stars on my first try. I can now pass 4.5 star maps with less than 10 tries! Working on moving on to five stars, and all this improvement happened in 3 weeks. I went from thinking that 3 star maps were unbeatable to thinking they’re hella slow. Went from 200pp to 525pp within these three weeks :p.
Yesterday I downloaded the fancy drivers for osu, I was used to a bit of input lag so it’s kind of halting my progress but I’m slowly getting used to it and it’s probably gonna help in the long run. Can’t draw with the tablet now though ;~;.
Maybe some people would prefer to take it slowly, and maybe that works better for them. But I don’t think your advice applies for everyone. I think if I follow your advice I would have better accuracy tho lol, I went from 95% to 88% xd because of all the fails.
@@hentaislayer9642 that sounds like an awful frustrating time for me, but if you are having fun, keep going!!! in the end it's all just a game and having fun should be your main priority
Aurus pls be careful n take care of urself... cant hit streams if u have arthritis
I can relate so much to listening to some 10 star maps and imagining your doing that
As im a starter what I do is start off with a 3 star map to see how I do on it then later on go back to it to see improvements i made or could do.

Oh by the way, about the bluetooth headphones: most rythm game have a note offset option in the settings, so when setting up the offset, wear your headphones. You might have to recalibrate every time but ut works for me!

How about using 2.4 ghz headphones? I use Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless while playing osu, and I have no lag issues whatsoever
MY mistake was I didn't know how slider worked at first, so I would click on the start and click on the little circles inside them when the ball went over it.

Just to make sure everyone understands:
1 and 2 star maps are almost equally hard.
3 and 4 star maps are almost equally hard.
5 and 6 star maps are NOT almost equally hard, they have a difference. And everything above this too.
8-10 star maps are impossible.
TrableZ my when I play 3 is too slow and 4 is too fast :|
@@WhaleShaBob 3,5 xD
5*-6* is the biggest skill gap for sure. The internal variance in difficulty gets far less as you move up in star rating.
And moving from 2.5 to 3 is eternal screams from hell and Carpal tunnel syndrome.

Being a (semi) top player myself, I just want to suggest one more tip: Enjoy the game.
I've noticed time and time again that those who don't find osu! interesting don't perform very well. Also, if you're a player that have played this game for a while and want to get better but you find yourself constantly struggling to improve, take a week long break or so and come back, you'll find yourself refreshed. After all, osu! is supposed to be a rhythm game, not your job.
Hey, I heard a tip that you should'nt play the same map if you failed. In other words, dont retry, move to the next map. Is that true?
@@sinfulwrath666 limit yourself to three retrys max, so you don't build muscle memory
I wouldn't suggest constantly retrying the same map for two reasons.
1. If your goal is to improve, playing the same map won't get you anywhere; it'll seem like you're getting better, but in reality you're becoming too familiar with the map.
2. If you constantly retry, you may develop a "mind-block", which is essentially flawed muscle memory that constantly makes you combobreak on a certain note/section.
edit: Rule of thumb for me: if you keep retrying a map and miss twice in a row on the same section, especially on the same note, stop playing.
I am after a few breaks like that. Every time I came back I was rusty as fuck and had to derust and regain my skill for at least week (usually more). Not even mentioning that I didnt feel "refreshed" and wasnt any kind of better at the game.
True, I initially just downloaded osu waaay back in the day to just enjoy the anime op/ed I liked and had a beatmap.
As an FnF fan who recently moved into the osu! landscape, discovered your channel, and is experiencing a VERY steady climb in my ability to beat(survive) 3star+ difficulty osu!, This was an appreciated vid. keep up with the good work!
Same. Doesn't it annoy you that while playing in 4K mode your score gets decimated?

I was literally playing jump practice maps last night, i'm scared
Its nothing bad about it. Rezoons made very nice jump training maps ;) Especially for fresh players
Stargazer xx Honestly when i first started jump maps really helped me improve at least IMO but i would say that only doing jumps and forgetting about other aspects like stacked or streams can really mess you up :< like now i'm really good with jumps but have to learn how to stream.
@@killeoTG same for me. too much jump map and sucks at stream
I started to get better at streams with around 500h in game. Still nothing special, couldnt FC the entire maps. I recommend playing maps with bursts, then extend to streams x3
l kn yeah, but hey jumping is fun i guess :(
the moment you set foot inside the osu rabbit hole, you can never leave it
I think that I needed to hear that at 3:42
The most important fact about osu! is that everyone as a community is getting better the more they play. A few years ago, a 1,000 pp play was said to be impossible but now there are a few just in the past month! Now you can argue that maybe mappers are figuring out the tricks behind high pp numbers but thats besides the fact. As long as you play regularly you will at some point see big improvement, but sometimes its whether or not you notice yourself improving which can become a roadblock for your mental state which negatively impacts performance.
