@@vapor7653 nah actually people in low 6 digit transitioning to high 5 digit are s ranking 5 stars and getting there first 200pp plays maybe 250pp. if u are in the 3* range then stamina and speed is definitely nothing to worry about at this stage. Just enjoy the game and play fun maps or songs that you like and start building the foundations of basic skill sets like just getting to know ur sense and listening to rhythm and be able to read ar7-8 and doing some slow triple taps instead of trying to go straight to in depth specific skill sets like speed when there wont be any speed related maps in 3 star range or even 4 star range. If you started to try and work on speed at this range then that means learning higher ar but whats the point when theres isnt even any maps that are above 9.5ar in the 4 star range let alone 3 star. Also speed includes having to learn higher bpm streams......... like there are gonna be any streams in 3 star range. It's just like in any other game or sports for example: trying to learn how to aim a football when u kick it to go right to the top right when u havent even gotten a proper feel of the ball and no experience. things like these just come over time once u know how powerful u need to hit and where u start ur run and how to hit the ball with ur foot. Then you start focusing on one skill set if u want like aim or control over the curve. In other words just play the damn game while its the most fun and just play like you would in any other game. If you're looking to get better then this video aint for you. you just need to keep playing and slowly you will find ur mechanics are getting a bit better then start trying slightly higher star ratings. only like 0.1-0.3 stars higher. For some people it takes longer then others
prob just dont farm too hard lol and you'll be fine with tapping at 3* time and ye I'm low 6 digit and a decent play is when I fc 5-5.5 star a good play would be 5.5+ (I'm talking tv size easy farm because thats what most people know I'd say)
It's all about staying super relaxed and moving as smooth as possible. I aim spaced streams the same way I do alternatey maps like "The Creator". I also use the approach circles to tell where my cursor should be on the stream. I look at the approach circles in one big group and see where they're closest to the beat and aim around that timing window. It's a little tricky to get used too but now it's automatic for me, looking and seeing where the stream is kinda flowing in time with the music and I just let my cursor flow with it
Also in my opinion for a 180bpm spaced stream you even need to be able to stream 190bpm flawlessly. So you can do 180 in your sleep and are very relaxed while streaming so you dont have to Focus on your tapping and can focus on your aim. Also when you only can do 180 and you start understreaming youre fucked so having the ability to stream faster to catch up helps a lot.
I'll leave this here as a bit of a reminder for myself. Right now, I can only do ~12 note 220bpm bursts, and I can't really play long streams of any length or bpm, even
@@MultiMinors Yo, I'm not really playing that fast yet. I switched to index and ring for comfort, and I'm building back up. I can stream 180 fairly comfortably now, but I have issues with drifting into tapping too early. I can do 200bpm for around 30 notes before dropping acc. I don't practice any higher bpm stuff just yet, but I can play very short 260bpm bursts from playing Tower of Heaven with DT. I've played a lot recently, so I'll take a little break and maybe start trying 220 when I come back
The lifting of the arm is something I've noticed you and aetrna both doing. Honestly didn't know what it was for until now but I'm glad you shared this. Thank you.
i used to be a 6-digit farmer and now i’m going through rehab and going back to basics, playing burst/stream maps, gradually increasing difficulty, no sotarks/log off now/etc. I’ve only been doing this for the past 2 days and i’m already seeing improvement in accuracy, bursts, stamina, reading, and streams !! of course, i’m still not very good at the game, but it makes me happy even if i’m improving a little bit
yo this actually works. deadass after i watched this video and focused on the aspect of not tapping as hard, i played some few heavy stream maps and crazy maps such as unpleasant sonata and burn this moment into the retina of my eye and my streams were more consistent, accurate, and fast. not to mention my single tapping speed got faster and my accuracy did improve on said maps since i didnt focus on tapping that much. you know those times where you just watch one thing or learn something immediately got better because you were just using the wrong technique? yeah. i just had that moment. thanks man
I watched a few videos about improving on osu, including this one, and in around 2 months, I went from struggling with 6 star maps to completing them, getting an A rank on some of them
I think I'll do my own video for this, but i found out that the sitting position is the MOST important thing to be aware of. No like the typical "have a straight back", but more like the sitting height and angle of your upper to lower arm. I always felt like I'm capable of doing long streams (not that speedy 240 ones, more like 200) and i've done them... but not on a regular basis. Recently I just changed my Height of my Chair (got new hydraulics if u can call them like this) and it changed my behaviour in a huge way. AND NOW i'm way more consistent and can easlily build up my skills with confident. Greetings, Maxlo
Very good video Spare, I want to say the lighter tapping part was something I started doing a few years ago after I believe Azer mentioned it during one of the HappyStick interviews, I used to tap really hard on my reds and once I started tapping lighter (just enough to actuate the switch), I had my stamina almost double from 20 circle to 40 on 180bpm within a few days, so that's been the first thing I tell friends when they start streaming from a while now, I think bad tapping techniques and habits can lock a lot of people into slow or almost non-existent improvement, so I'm glad you covered it well! The raising of the arm when losing stamina was actually something I haven't tried before, and I'm keen to try it out. If I have any new friends that start playing the game I'll probably link them this video because it's really short and sweet, and easy to understand and take mental notes of. Great video, I'm excited to see you possibly make more of these improvement or generally more serious styled videos.
One of the things i do is try a map 1-5 times and move to the next map to do the same thing. I’ve gotten many of my fc’s this way and it makes the game a lot more fun to play when you’re playing a bunch of different maps
this video didnt only help me increase my stamina by A LOT in only 2 days but it also improved my streaming speed. i dont know why i didnt try tapping lighter myself way earlier because... well obviously if you tap hard you wont have much stamina but anyways this was so helpfull. im almost able to pass time freeze now, when i wasnt even able to come close to passing the first 3rd before. thanks for this vid ^^
you said there was no secret sauce, but i think this video is it, at the very least it's given me a motivation boost, and just consciously trying not to slam my keys with sledgehammer force has improved my finger control, speed and stamina all ready, now i just need to be able to tap faster than 180bpm and i'm set
Potato switch part was my favourite actually. Being serious, this guide is really well made! Thank you a lot! Even having a lot of hours in the game i found something new that might be game changing for me! Love ya :)
Great High Quality video! Thanks for making this as i somehow learned to tap lighter and feel more relaxed while streaming since i mostly tense my fingers a lot now that i think about it. (i love it when people like you make videos like this).
Very cool. Ryuk's video on this matter helped enough. I am sure yours might be able to help me out on this a lot as I dream of being a good stream player. Thanks! :3
Already did everything in this video and everything Ryuk said on stream and it really helped me a lot from not having much stamina and speed on 210bpm from now going to 240+ bpm for deathstreams I started that training when Ryuk dropped his video and everything in this one is also things I've done to help me. Good thing to teach others to do this as well! Keep up the work! c:
To train my fingers when I’m not at my computer, or if I’m not in game, I find a surface somewhere, a surface that is comfortable for me to rest my arm on, and I move my tapping fingers in a stream motion, and I try out techniques to see if one works better than the other for my hand. I do this to see how long I can go in a stream at whatever speed I’m moving my fingers, and I try to go a little farther than I’m comfortable with every time, then I take a break for thirty seconds, and start again. I also do this when I’m at my keyboard, sometimes in game, sometimes not, and sometimes with my computer off.
the tapping light option really helped like ive practiced it for a week now and i before this week i had a hard time hitting the start of bluenation speed up version and now its just alot easier cuz now i can ss it
3 months ago I couldn't even get 50%+ accuracy on 6* raise my sword with nf but now I can pass with around 90% accuracy. After I reached 5 digits I didn't have the mentality of rushing to get to 5 digits anymore so I focused on my finger control and speed by practicing stream maps and tech maps although I knew I couldn't pass them, but eventually slowly but surely I was able to pass and later I was able to get a score I would be proud of. The moral of the story, never give up.
this video proved that spare would be the best anime protagonist during a fight he's losing, and speaks words of truth and wisdom, and within 2 flashbacks he unveils his hidden broken shounen bullshit ultimate bs power. with that being said, some really helpful advice for me! keep up the good work spare-senpai :P
4 months of practice and instead of being a 4 star player, I can now do low 6 stars now, thank you so much, It was a long process but I am very happy with the results
I remember watching a video explaining wrist up vs. wrist down technique and forcing myself to try wrist-up, but finding that strategically switching between the two depending on the notes is most effective. Wrists up are less work on the fingers, but more work for the forearms.
thanks alot when i first watched this i couldn't stream 150bmp but after using some of your tips and practiced for like a 1 month now i can do 200bpm bursts just need the stamina to stream it
Mindset is a big component as well. I find it better to play for fun, than to just grind tediously on farm maps just to get a good score. (I usually only go for a pass)
A website that helped me greatly with idenfying my streaming problems was this one: ckrisirkc.github.io/osuStreamSpeed.js/newindex.html With the website I learned that my peak streaming performance for 8-20 clicks was 120 bpm at most and even dropping down low 90s often. This was a problem that gated tons of 5* maps for me and making them impossible even though I had no problems with bursts and accuracy at all. To improve my issue I spent the past 4 months constantly playing stream heavy maps going from 4,2* to 5,1* maps and improving my stream speed to whoping 170 bpm with an UR of 90 while having very little progress at my rank and often deranking for multiple weeks (my rank progression currently is a mess) EDIT: you light tapping tip is by far the best I got, it's very weird to use but I think there is a lot of potential that I can grab when I master it, thanks!
self improvement > rank improvement. Improving your rank comes over time, trying to force it leads to bad habits. Seeing yourself improve happens rarely... thats what you should be getting excited over. I built a new keyboard over christmas and im currently getting used to Kailh speed silver switches. Now nearly able to burst 240+. The only thing throwing me off is the accuation point. I do recommend taking breaks, huge game changer for me.
one blood test revealed I had a low hemoglobin count, now I'm mildly anemic (iron deficient) to the point that my hands and feet get cold really easily and they seize to respond if I push them at your average Joe performance, I loved sport but never excelled on any of it since I effectively lacked endurance to keep up, apparently Osu isn't any different so I gave up playing it but I return sometimes for the nostalgia. Treatment will take time for me probably a few months before I see any significant improvement so fingers crossed.
This is great! I was never really thinking about this but 1 month ago I realised that tapping lightly is important. I'm glad I wasn't wrong about that lol. so thanks for the video Spare!!
I was watching this while playing osu. I tried some of the techniques and I have now stopped tensing and it’s made a big improvement even in the first few I did after this. Thank you. You also stopped me from feeling panicked when others are around.
thanks for this spare, recently after applying some of these techniques i ended up getting my first A rank pass on ROG, and got a 88% pass on Save Me (Tragedy). This reallly saved me on save me, my stamina just couldn't handle the constant bursts for 10 minutes and would end up dropping acc really hard on the last section, now i can go through it fine. Thanks man
Got this video recommended and I'm very happy, that I watched it. Good tips Spare, they really help for getting my streaming consistency back. Keep up the amazing work !! Have an amazing day :))
Good video in my recommended, I'm glad this popped up in my recommended because people have been recommending me to play more stream maps. I highly recommend watching all the way through the video. It's very helpfull!
So Im exercising and wondered being fast is actually kinda cool so I searched how to move fast but when I scrolled down I saw this and now Im addicted to this game xD
For me personally last month i could barely do 2.5 star maps thanks to this video i gradually improved on skill sets and now i can do 5 star maps!! thanks!
ok, personally i agree to everything that you said besides raising your arm in the video since that can actually screw your stamina more then help. the main reason is because then your getting your self into a bad habbit of trying to both hold your arm up and tap lightly which cas cause some serious tendon wear and can also make your forearms and fingers feel like they are on fire which ive dealt with. if it works for you then keep doing it tho and dont let me stop you cas however you play the game doesnt change how good you are but if you would like the way i try to keep stamina going is that i force my arm to stay down. this causes more consistent tapping and also can cause some under streaming but practicing it can actually improve your stamina greatly as well as increase your speed in general. if you dont think it works because either you have tried it for enough time or not tried it at all then thats ok! but besides that all of what you said is definitly true for function in streams :)
I am just a beginner and I follow all the pieces of advice in this video(altho I knew about them before) and my overall accuracy is currently at 99,60% and I can say that for those who are focusing on getting better, those few easy steps to be followed does help a lot, you should try them as well. I am very happy with my progress and plan to get even better.
even till now im still going back to this just to make sure i did it right, and yes this really help to boost my performance on speed. im still a 6 digit but i can FC 260 bpm maps no prob, legit
i'm rank 88k atm. came back in november. set my first 200pp on padoru and started focusing more on improving instead of setting scores. i've used this video and since maybe 3 weeks back i've already gained about 20bpm. altough only for bursts and aim, since i can't really find good stream maps. i'll be sure to download the bpm changer and try it out.
You should cover a video on pain from osu, and how you deal with pain in the elbow/wrist/hand/fingers, I have always wondered what top players do to deal with these issues, or if they even come across these issues.
I speak from my own experience that playing more will make you better. When i started streaming i could only stream 170 pbm but after a week of playing for 1 hour a day i could stream 180pbm and after a month of grinding i could allready stream 200pbm and youll get better the more you play. Also amazing tutorial!
I forgot about adjusting my chair and wondering why my hand just gets tired easily on a burst or stream, until you said to adjust chair height or *SIT ON SOME EXTRA PILLOWS* .. thanks Update or Edit: I improved, FC'd (not really I guess?) a 3 star Beatmap after I adjusted my seat and add extra pillows, thanks for tip!
Also, the best way to see improvement is to pay attention to bad days. I've seen my bad days rival my best days 1 month ago. That's how i knew i was getting better.
Yo this is just amazing, lately i've been getting much better at 5 star stream maps because i also realised that if i try to relax i get more control over my streaming and i've been way better accuracy.
hey, thanks for all the advice, i was stucked weeks ago, didn't know what to do to improve, i saw this video, and it's helping me a lot, im improving and im getting more stamina and consistency. Thank you again. Greetings from Chile.

@@vapor7653 u must be drunk
i don't have problem with speed, the problem is when the streams become s p a c e d.
It's all about staying super relaxed and moving as smooth as possible. I aim spaced streams the same way I do alternatey maps like "The Creator". I also use the approach circles to tell where my cursor should be on the stream. I look at the approach circles in one big group and see where they're closest to the beat and aim around that timing window. It's a little tricky to get used too but now it's automatic for me, looking and seeing where the stream is kinda flowing in time with the music and I just let my cursor flow with it

after 3 months of little to no progress, switching to ring index fingers gave me much better stamina and consistency.
Helped with fast ctb jumps, good video!
I think not everyone noticed this, there are several maps in the description for osu!standart practice
ive been practicing streaming for about a month and a half and I went from barely able to do 150 to being able to do 190 consistently after warming up
I learnt how to tap extremely lightly in less than 10 minutes... and yes, I got a lot more speed and stamina from this
same
here before it blows up
Mindset is a big component as well. I find it better to play for fun, than to just grind tediously on farm maps just to get a good score. (I usually only go for a pass)
funorange trainer program dont even open, does anyone have the same issue? I tried on 2 computers ;v
install .net framework 4 etc
@@SPAREOS Thank you Spare for helping but i tried really everything including few versions of net framework and nothing helps
@@andemu_ Might have to do with your beatmap folder being on anther drive
@@djturbomilf nope, updater is the problem (update check failed)
i tried this and went from being able to pass the 1st ange du blanc stream to failing it everytime... nice advice
A website that helped me greatly with idenfying my streaming problems was this one: ckrisirkc.github.io/osuStreamSpeed.js/newindex.html
With the website I learned that my peak streaming performance for 8-20 clicks was 120 bpm at most and even dropping down low 90s often. This was a problem that gated tons of 5* maps for me and making them impossible even though I had no problems with bursts and accuracy at all.
To improve my issue I spent the past 4 months constantly playing stream heavy maps going from 4,2* to 5,1* maps and improving my stream speed to whoping 170 bpm with an UR of 90 while having very little progress at my rank and often deranking for multiple weeks (my rank progression currently is a mess)
EDIT: you light tapping tip is by far the best I got, it's very weird to use but I think there is a lot of potential that I can grab when I master it, thanks!
2:02 WHEN I HEARD THE BACKGROUND MUSIC I ALMOST LOST IDK WHY IT BROUGHT BACK FUNNIE MEMORIES
self improvement > rank improvement.
Improving your rank comes over time, trying to force it leads to bad habits. Seeing yourself improve happens rarely... thats what you should be getting excited over.
I built a new keyboard over christmas and im currently getting used to Kailh speed silver switches. Now nearly able to burst 240+. The only thing throwing me off is the accuation point.
I do recommend taking breaks, huge game changer for me.
one blood test revealed I had a low hemoglobin count, now I'm mildly anemic (iron deficient) to the point that my hands and feet get cold really easily and they seize to respond if I push them at your average Joe performance, I loved sport but never excelled on any of it since I effectively lacked endurance to keep up, apparently Osu isn't any different so I gave up playing it but I return sometimes for the nostalgia.
Treatment will take time for me probably a few months before I see any significant improvement so fingers crossed.
This is great! I was never really thinking about this but 1 month ago I realised that tapping lightly is important. I'm glad I wasn't wrong about that lol. so thanks for the video Spare!!
I was watching this while playing osu. I tried some of the techniques and I have now stopped tensing and it’s made a big improvement even in the first few I did after this. Thank you. You also stopped me from feeling panicked when others are around.
I had an finger injury and I started plazing low bpm maps I pushed my limit from 180 to 270bpm within years don't give up guys we alle belive in yoh
thanks for this spare, recently after applying some of these techniques i ended up getting my first A rank pass on ROG, and got a 88% pass on Save Me (Tragedy). This reallly saved me on save me, my stamina just couldn't handle the constant bursts for 10 minutes and would end up dropping acc really hard on the last section, now i can go through it fine. Thanks man
Got this video recommended and I'm very happy, that I watched it. Good tips Spare, they really help for getting my streaming consistency back.
Keep up the amazing work !! Have an amazing day :))
Good video in my recommended, I'm glad this popped up in my recommended because people have been recommending me to play more stream maps. I highly recommend watching all the way through the video. It's very helpfull!
No spare, I am afraid not everyone has a mechanical keyboard but I got the point you tried to explain. This video is really great. Thanks ❤
So Im exercising and wondered being fast is actually kinda cool so I searched how to move fast but when I scrolled down I saw this and now Im addicted to this game xD
For me personally last month i could barely do 2.5 star maps thanks to this video i gradually improved on skill sets and now i can do 5 star maps!! thanks!
ok, personally i agree to everything that you said besides raising your arm in the video since that can actually screw your stamina more then help. the main reason is because then your getting your self into a bad habbit of trying to both hold your arm up and tap lightly which cas cause some serious tendon wear and can also make your forearms and fingers feel like they are on fire which ive dealt with. if it works for you then keep doing it tho and dont let me stop you cas however you play the game doesnt change how good you are but if you would like the way i try to keep stamina going is that i force my arm to stay down. this causes more consistent tapping and also can cause some under streaming but practicing it can actually improve your stamina greatly as well as increase your speed in general. if you dont think it works because either you have tried it for enough time or not tried it at all then thats ok! but besides that all of what you said is definitly true for function in streams :)
I am just a beginner and I follow all the pieces of advice in this video(altho I knew about them before) and my overall accuracy is currently at 99,60% and I can say that for those who are focusing on getting better, those few easy steps to be followed does help a lot, you should try them as well. I am very happy with my progress and plan to get even better.
even till now im still going back to this just to make sure i did it right, and yes this really help to boost my performance on speed.
im still a 6 digit but i can FC 260 bpm maps no prob, legit
i'm rank 88k atm. came back in november. set my first 200pp on padoru and started focusing more on improving instead of setting scores. i've used this video and since maybe 3 weeks back i've already gained about 20bpm. altough only for bursts and aim, since i can't really find good stream maps. i'll be sure to download the bpm changer and try it out.
You should cover a video on pain from osu, and how you deal with pain in the elbow/wrist/hand/fingers, I have always wondered what top players do to deal with these issues, or if they even come across these issues.
The quality on this video is insane
no one told me to light taping before
and but you did!
and i just pass burst/stream training map with full 2 minutes of burst and stream!
thankyou!
Phenomenal video quality. Good job, Yanny.
actually the best stamina tips/guide vid i've seen
I speak from my own experience that playing more will make you better. When i started streaming i could only stream 170 pbm but after a week of playing for 1 hour a day i could stream 180pbm and after a month of grinding i could allready stream 200pbm and youll get better the more you play. Also amazing tutorial!
I forgot about adjusting my chair and wondering why my hand just gets tired easily on a burst or stream, until you said to adjust chair height or *SIT ON SOME EXTRA PILLOWS* .. thanks
Update or Edit: I improved, FC'd (not really I guess?) a 3 star Beatmap after I adjusted my seat and add extra pillows, thanks for tip!

What osu left me with:
Broken hands
Fast songs that i love but will never be able to play
Damn, ive been playing for 2 years just slamming the keyboard. The solution was just to tap lighter, saw improvment immediately thanks!
I realized that I have good stamina but a bad technique, such as tensing a hand to aim a higher bpm than normal. Thanks for saving me from bad habits.
you just accelerated the improvement of my gameplay exponentially and i am typing faster as well, thank you for these great tips
"tap lighter and don't tense"
me on my 72nd retry and after smacking my desk around 20 times: i see
this video motivated me to keep going when I couldn't pass a 2,8* map, now 2 months later I can pass some 5.3* maps. Thanks Spare
Thanks for the tips I can stream 220 bpm without getting tired now
Also, the best way to see improvement is to pay attention to bad days. I've seen my bad days rival my best days 1 month ago. That's how i knew i was getting better.
Yo this is just amazing, lately i've been getting much better at 5 star stream maps because i also realised that if i try to relax i get more control over my streaming and i've been way better accuracy.
THANK YOU SPARE I MANAGED TO FC PLACEBO DYING WITH UR TECHNIQUE ILY BRO
glad you kept this video loved it . just started a couple months ago and have gone from 4.4m to 400k very helpful .
Thank you so much for making this video, even as a mania player the majority of these tips really helped me jump from 3 star maps to 4 star maps!
hey, thanks for all the advice, i was stucked weeks ago, didn't know what to do to improve, i saw this video, and it's helping me a lot, im improving and im getting more stamina and consistency. Thank you again. Greetings from Chile.
