This is so much information to take in at once, I'll definitely have to go and revisit this video once my wrist has healed. Thank you 🗿💜🗿

Thankyou for this video! Helped me a ton!

great video old chap. this is exactly the kind of advice I would give to people trying to improve. Couldn't have said it better

i’m a new osu player, watched this yesterday, tried playing with your tips and now my hand doesn’t hurt anymore & i played much better today! thanks!

It's never too late to become #1 brother. Great vid

Great video man! I learned so much :)

17:23 I actually had the same problem for the longest time, I picked up alternating so early that I never really learned to single tap.

Thanks a lot for your dedication and good stuff in the video, i will do my best!!!

i personally rly don't like these kind of videos but i found a lot of insight into how u talked abt bad handwriting and aim. my handwriting is awful and i hold my pen like i would normally and aim has always been a huge struggle, so i'll definitely think abt that

it helps alot. thank you so much. i subbed

referring to 4:20, Cookiezi actually used to change his area very frequently since he never could find a consistent and comfortable grip/area. I believe it is still how he does but I need to fact check that, its been a while.

this is a crazy good video

i come to this kind of videos regularly, because i feel lost and dont know what to do or if im doing the right thing to improve in osu. I feel stuck, and tend to compare myself to others. Which is kind of stupid because it is time i spend feeling lost or complain that i could spend to actually play osu and improve. I just want to say thank you for making this Video!

Hey man, I´m from Brazil, thank y for help people implove in Osu!, the players from Brazil that make videos of "How to improve in Osu!" have a low qualidade, your video is excelente in my oponion. :) Thank you

As you get better with mouse you will eventually get better at dealing with mouse drift, if you tough it out and play more eventually you will notice you can deal with mouse drift better or just get less mouse drift

Hey amazing video on almost every aspect of the game, I would have liked if you made the finger control section more in depth and give us some maps we could work with as it is one of the hardest things to learn I believe

Nice video! I was wondering one thing though; I think I had never heard you talk about hand tapping styles when it comes to doing different patterns and types of maps. For instance, would you have a completely different tapping style when doing, lets sayyy - a deathstream or maybe you would readjust your hand in a way that you can shake your wrist and then switch back to a regular tapping style?? Or is it all just personal preference. I've tried many things, but the most notable being my thumb placement. I've been trying for a while to find the most optimal thing for my own hand and would love to hear your thoughts on how you you found your own optimal tapping style and technique, and some tips for others on how to find it!

Im finally improving again lol. I figured out what was preventing me from doing so, that is i was autopiloting everything. Now i instead focus on every note (or every other on fast maps)

i didn't even take into consideration for stamina. I usually just opened osu! and I didn't really like the normal jump map songs and the alt map songs were hit and miss for me. So, I spammed metal maps and they were coincidentally mostly death stream maps or burst maps. I'm alright at those specific maps and some other areas for a 5 digit. All in all, the most healthy way to improve I think is to just play the ones you enjoy listening to, or the pattern that feels nice.

2000 subs lets go

I'm around rank 300k and just started learning tablet recently, I am also 24 years old I hope to get better from your advice! I learned I need to change around my area next session so I can look for a area I am comfy with going everywhere on the screen. Also to not force my tapping, so play less for my hand. I SOMETIMES have sessions around 3 to 4 hours long maybe not the best idea. 😂 I do feel the pain from it.

Mouse accel is a godsend for mouse players, helps with drift, also get a bigger mousepad

get this dude to 2k subs!!

Wow, I didn't know that people can find such big tablet areas comfortable. Because I have an area of 40mm by 22.5mm and I still can't really reach all of the corners comfortably

Someone needs to make a video like this but for touchscreen...

4:22 its so ironic i literally was watching chocomint plays and lookin at his profile and then decided to search for this video LMAO

epic

ur the best

This is an amazing video, but I have to ask two things: 1. What is the benefit of learning single tap if you already have full alt? 2. I am ~29k rank and I have the stamina to deathstream 170-190 bpm and have been able to improve it continuously, but my flow aim improvement has been horrible, are there are any tips to follow for improving my flow aim (forcing myself to play more stream maps has made me feel that I’ve made some bad habits in my flow aim which is causing the difficulty) and how to approach it.

what is the skin that you use in the background gameplay?

8:19 Now we are playing aim trainers to be better at osu. What a development

good vid although i cant give myself a way to compare since i play offline i found myself worse with the wooting it actually fucked my tapping so maybe for those lower ranked people get some good tapping technique first and dont try and spam stream maps way above ur skill level it will hinder your progression i still cant play normally without it yet but im getting back there or if u do since its a good keyboard dw abt rapid trigger focus on acc

I used to be a mouse player (800dpi *1.0) and now I switched to tablet. My tablet is 152 * 95 mm which is the wacom one small. I started off with high sensitivity and hovering but I was way too inconsistent so now I switched to full area tablet + dragging and I'm hitting consistently but I struggles with higher star level jumps (For example I would S a 4.1 star map and get a C on a 4.91 star map) so is this sensitivity good for me or should I reduce the area?

i'm a mouse player and i use the mouse DPI in 1600, and the game sensivity in 0.58. I think i improved so well with this configs.

what is the red blue skin you used for this video? it looks pretty clean

For “not being able to prevent mouse drift” you could get a tablet mouse or whatever (I forgor what it’s called) Ik gurbzy has it

I will look this video again later this will help me, right now i'm stuck at 3 star map and I can't alternate at all, should I continue to trye to learn to alternate on the side and train reading and aim will singletaping ?

3:33 There are only 2 ways of almost eliminating mouse drift: Arm aiming (e.g FunOrange) and "Mablet"

vro is tryna breed a new gen of osu players to take down the Osu hierachy this sounds like the plot of an anime lmao Osu lore is just crazy

when you said "I believe a player who can rival mrekk will arise" you just willed akolibed's 1.5K to happen bro

my goal is to be either the best speed player ever or number 1 one day

Hey I am a mouse player and am seeming to get stuck at the 3.5+ star mark as i can kinda follow the notes but seem to be slightly to slow or am slightly off the note. I have noticed that i can follow up to six star with my eyes and can almost keep up with them but am just to slow and not accurate enough. Do you have any tips to help this?

I don't have mouse drift cus i hold my g502 with 3 finger placed to get a solid grip but my little finger take all thr left weight pulled when i aim to the left leading to pain in my little finger, i play 5-6* beatmap... The mouse is at 120-130gram I switched to the 502x versions 83,5 and same but slowed pain. So i do it only when i feel that i will get full combo or high score on the map.

fit_investigate my goat fr :fire:

Im 14 years old, started playing when i was 11 and im rank 800,000 {country rank: 400 (bangladesh)}

My handwriting is solid ass, so what way should i grip my pen?

What is the skin that you used in the speed section?

I’m thinking of getting a pen for osu but I have bad hand writing but also good at drawing should I hold it normally?

idk if anyone will read this and give advice but i have "mouse drift" on my hands, literally. my hand position and posture changes constantly when i play a map. it takes up so much of my focus. how are you supposed to deal with this???? edit: i hold it like a pencil but with the pencil almost straight up in the air, instead of resting on my thumb. it ends up slipping and my pinky finger starts to hurt edit 2: ok i fixed it by taping my pinky to my ring finger LOL

About sensitivity, i mean 800 and 1600, both are good for me but idk how to choose x(

is it a bad habit to stare in the middle of ny screen while reading the map?

Ez is like the only mod I play a bit of nm but the highest ar I can read is like 9.6 ish anything above that is to fast I’m around 500k as of right now

My single tapping is now limiting me, i tried to overcome it and just simply tap faster. That worked until it didnt, my hand got injured and now i need to learn alternating, plz help im 7 digit with alternate

i play with 0.7 sen in osu with mouse is it bad , i cant change my mouse sens

with the singletapping and alt, i can also do that, i started to singletap but i learned to alt eventually, now i alt more because i cant singletap more than 235bpm, if i focus too much on tapping, my aim is shit and vice versa

I'm 15, swedish, permazoomer really fast learner and whatever and I'm a gamer I have liek the perfect setup to become a top 10 or even number 1 player That's the logic I have been using since I downloaded osu and it carried me to 30k in about a year But the last few months i have lterally gained liek no ranks cuz I'm pretty much only palying either dumb reading stuff, fundamnetals or stuff that is way too fast and hard for me to do However the result of that is an ability rn to snap upward of 320bpm jumps so maybe I'll start to get some pp soon after I stop getting so many dumb chokes and stuff I will get 2 digit in this game one day, that's my long term goal

Having continuous rapid trigger on when u have maxed out settings wont do much because ur keys are never gonna get above the 0.1mm actuation

Random thing to see pop up in my feed. I often wish i didnt get into this game nowadays because i cant seperate enjoying the game and my mood based on my quality of play.....i cant be fucking awful and enjoy it....and im literally completely incapable of aiming properly and its so frustrating. Aim alone by itself gates this entire game for me and im pretty must past the point of ever believing its possible for me to ever figure out and progress that skillset for what would be the first time since at least before i changed setups in 2020....or at least have any consistency to fix my over 5k A ranks i genuinely cringe at whenever i see

Not having any music and not showing specifically what you are mentioning with a gameplay footage, (for instance, mentioning full alt, you could have elaborated on that with a clip specific to that, with zooming on the key input overlay for better clarification) all that plus the video length makes this video really hard to watch. Although the information you've provided to beginner players is very well put together, if you were to ever make a video for intermediate players, I'd suggest you take these into consideration. Thank you for taking your time to make this video

what if you use the built in mouse thats on your laptop

man feels bad that i though 4000 dpi was mid. now i use 10k dpi and hearing that dpi is prefrence gives me more hope that im doing something wrong than something right.

8 days ago. this is funny

Why didn’t anyone tell me i could ghetto a cover using my mousepad

i play on 2950 dpi w/ G502 mouse

I’m rank 230k and I play consistently but I feel like I’m actively getting worse I play basically all maps but can’t seem to improve

what does bro mean when saying "if youre unlucky and have an amd gpu"

Akolibed be like:

Lmao Akolibed is that new player now broke mrekks pp record 3 times and almost another one in just 3 days

What's ur skin????

It's called Os.

I write with my left hand and use my tablet with my right hand 🗿

There is a mistake in your clip regarding the switches Black switches are linear and have no tactile bump and neither do reds

i have dyslectia (idk how to write that shit in english, dyslekcja in polish) i aint aiming

I liek to imagine akolibed watched this video and learned how to set 1.5k

Bro wtf you mean 6400dpi is psychotic I played on 8000 for most of my time in osu

fposu on pen i wanna see that

mans says high 5 or 6 digit and says going from 4 to 4.5 stars, excuse you?!?!? its not 2013

im 15yrs and 6 digits with 700h on osu is it over for me?

9:15 what's the skin

Kinda demoralizing when you have to go through steps like these just to improve while mrekk has no idea how he got better and just plays whatever he feels like

Dont get me wrong, your a good content creator, but why is your to get X amount of subscribers by the end of the year, when you cant control that. You can only control how good your content is.

um I didnt get top 100 after watching this, what the heck?

why are you labeling this an 'In-Depth Guide' when its just surface level info and tips

skin?:)

im not a fan of your ez takes tbh - playing 3 star maps +ez is not going to help you significantly in reading anything other than 3 star +ez because the patterns in 3 star maps are so different to 5*+ - ezdt is strictly harder than ez. the density of the map does not change. - jumps are by far the easiest part of ez, im not sure how much ez you have actually played but any accel/decel flow aim and tech is infinitely harder than jumps (with the exception of heavy overlaps)

How do you find good maps ?
