Guess I shall bump this, Played on and off for 4 years, just started getting back into it recently, the RSI is already setting in. Hovered around ~30k for a while now, not overly in the mood for grinding. Just playing stuff that is generally far too hard for me to FC.

I was rank 910 now I'm slowly falling back down towards 1000. :rip: Playing for FC was good improvement.

Oh yeah, playing for FCs got me miles better at jumping when I did nothing but grind maps like Remote Control for like 2 days straight, (still not FC'd Remote Control though..) Playing for passes is also fun, the only annoying part is I am kind of stuck on basically playing stuff <220 bpm ar9 nomod, occasionally Hidden, I know I don't NEED to add mods, but when I play multi people always put like DT maps on and I just can't play it. So just need to grind out that hurdle -eventually- :effort:

Awful excuse time here. Every since I upgraded to win10 I've had a really weird delay on osu, swapping from windowed to fullscreen helped matters but It still doesn't feel right.. My aim however has gotten better going fullscreen so there are always these advantages :v:. I might sit down in the next few days and do a good grinding session, see if I can get ~20k.

Gawrz

Yeah, I was using 1600x900 in windowed mode for the longest time, then swapped up to native. I do miss my ~3000fps though.

I've not played long enough to notice the difference, I make too many SLIGHT alterations in how I play, I sometimes hover my pen, I sometimes change the angle I hold my pen slightly. I change what skin I use CONSTANTLY. So all those factors together I'm just like.. changing res makes this slight alteration? neat.

I could never get the hang of full tablet area.. mine is super weird

It works for me..
I'm kinda going through a phase of osu where I am basically just playing School Idol maps.. I guess it's a side effect of watching the anime, but hey, anime schoolgirls, who can complain :ducksiren:

I'm going to play around with full area for a bit, I assume you change your sensitivity in osu settings?
As for skins, I've been kind of swapping between an older verison of WubWoofWolf's skin and a Remake of one of Hakurei Reimu's skins. They are both to my liking.
The rubber feet on my tablet broke so I use a torn piece of mousemat to stop it slipping TOO much, so it's difficult to get any consistency in tablet placement.

My active is 152mm x 95mm so 5.98~ x 3.74~ inches. Slightly bigger, I do however have to use about 3x sensitivity for it to be even remotely comfortable, On 1x sens I feel like I'm about to snap my wrist doing a full screen jump.

The full tablet's active area is that, sorry. In that image my active is something like. 2inch x 1.5inch or something stupid like that.

Also choke city, population: me.

I thought it would be less obtrusive in a spoiler tag, obviously not. Oh well, that work. So I thank you!
That map is just not friendly, @5minutes with lots of chokepoints, lots of places to sliderbreak. But darn it's an addictive map.

Yeah, third DT play, still very impressive, our lord and savior Tillerino says around 260 yeah, still grinding out my first every 200+pp play, it shall happen SOON.

There are a few maps like that, I had a spurt of like 20bajillion plays of Pika Girl + HD over like a week, always just 1 chokey miss, haven't played that map in ages. It's only like a 100pp play at most.

Gawrz
Aug 30, 2015
Then you see Cookiezi playing 600pp+ maps and being like. "ezpp", I think if I sat down and got more comfortable with HR or DT I would find more fulfillment, right now I jsut scroll through my maps like "Yeah, I could play this, but it's ar8, and that's :effort: whereas I could just put DT on, it becomes playable, boom easy pp.

Gawrz
Aug 30, 2015
The DT plays I've done were low 4* nomod, I just have to find the niche plays that are <220bpm, or learn how to alternate properly so I can play more maps.

Gawrz
Aug 30, 2015
Or Flashlight farm like a boss most skill based mod on the game. :v:
I may just play nomod and be a beast, get all the insane nomod passes.

Lemme just go FC image material real fast :v:
Seriously though, I'm still fairly low ranked, so I have no clue what I wanna do in terms of getting gud, so I'm just gonna play for fun, not play for pp.

Gawrz
Aug 30, 2015
Well, in my mind playing for pp is grinding the same songs, whereas playing for fun would be playing stuff that may be unranked/qualified or relax mod etc just for funsies.
Like, I every so often get bored and play stuff like Freedom Dive on relax. Among other maps.

So, somewhat of an impromptu update, after a couple days playing with full tablet area, my aim seems to have gotten a lot better, I feel faster. No mindshatteringly good plays because of nerves and breaking combo :v: :rip:

copying and pasting this from the anime chat thread:
I'm wondering if theres some sort of way to edit the osu!mania mode so that the notes are instead the letters im supposed to be hitting on my keyboard because otherwise all the thing bars give me mad vertigo

Probably using a custom skin you can easily do this. Not much of a mania player.
Look at skin assets and its a fairly simple system to understand.

so does anyone have any recommendations for fun beatmaps or just beatmaps they find challenging? for an aggregate of my skill, rubik's cube 5x5x5 is probably the hardest i've beat so far

Use ppaddict, it will give you good maps for your skill level. pretty useful site.

There isn't a defined grip that's good for all circumstances. Here is my grip:


Full tablet area ~2.5 osu sensitivity.
Just play around with settings, see what works, see whats comfortable, you will get the hang of it in like a week.

He is still within 250pp of top10, I reckon he is still relatively safe, but the calibur of top10 players is so high right now and not to mention that there is also Reimu outside of top 10, Spare just got unbanned. I give it 2-3 months and the top 10 will be WILDLY different,

Gawrz
Aug 30, 2015
Yeah but remember when both Cookiezi and Reimu got unbanned they pulled out plays that nobody ever thought possible. Like Blue Zenith on HR by Cookiezi

Well, I have never really heard of gazymcgee, but Spare is a drat good player back before he got banned it's not surprising to me that he has come back and climbed much faster than even Cookiezi did.

I don't know how it's possible for him to DT SS this 278 bpm od8+DT streamy map, but gayz did it. That's why I say that the spare play is ughhhh



Oh Gazy = HDHR. I see now. So the thing about Spare is he got banned same as cookiezi and reimu for cheating scores. He is bound to be good just look at how fast he has climbed since he got unbanned. He is god tier level.

Oops, I forgot to have it on global and not selected mods.



The point isn't even that he's climbing fast - it's that that one score reeks of bullshit.

You know when you play a map a lot you kind of get a feel for where and when notes are coming? Like on Rafis' Best FriendS DT,HD,HR Play it almost seems like he is playing the map from memory? I think it kind of happened like that for Spare on that map, he just got so good at the map and busted a nut getting good accuracy high combo because he just knew it that well. I mean, you can question the score all you want but I HIGHLY doubt he cheated the score. ppy's cheat detection has gotten much better in the last few years and he would have been banned within the day if he used any of the current cheats that are on the market.

Edit: Rafis isn't even the only player I've noticed it for, think hvick's play on Miraizu HDDT, that play was beautiful and looked almost like he played from memory rather than reading it.

No matter what way you cut it, Spare is a top tier player with the likes of cookiezi, rafis and hvick, and when he was truly in his element WWW

I'm of the opinion gently caress DT in general, it looks impressive to watch a good DT player, but it just feels like i'm flailing my arm around most of the time hoping to intersect a note while I tap.

I don't think top players get away with more, Cookiezi got banned when he was undoubtedly the best player in osu for cheating scores albeit him getting banned was on purpose so their were other things he did to get banned. I will erh on the side of caution with a lot of these scores, but I'm pretty certain spare did not cheat that score, he streams too often and people would start noticing that his play is inconsistent with some of his insane plays.

Congratz on the mendez DT almost fc, you suck.
