Fuwanovel Osu! Thread

[Kenshin_sama]

Almost 99'd that. But that's alright, I'm almost getting better with my $1 backup mouse. Still waiting for the replacement on my gaming mouse (which will hopefully be within a week).

[Ceris]

I only have this for my highest score on that map 

But I was trying to Expert difficulty, just couldn't seem to get it down. Doesn't help that my accuracy in osu! is completely garbage

 

Also, sadly, I must finally say goodbye to my top 50k rank, I just can't get PP whenever I play a map, I always fail at the end and end up with like 5 misses after a really good run (or my highest score run on songs aren't my best runs). Another problem is, my beatmap library isn't the best

Get supporter and just grab new maps as they come out (for songs you like anyway). I'd also recommend downloading stuff from the top rated and most played section. Most of them are really good.

[Ceris]

I keep up with the new released maps all the time, and most of the time the maps are either too easy for me, too hard for me, or not in my music taste range. 

Or I just make endless dumb mistakes like this map https://osu.ppy.sh/b/761231

I think the map is easy, but my wrist thinks otherwise, but it's easily one of my favorite openings of all time

[Kenshin_sama]

Dat one spot.

[Ceris]

I feel like I'm never going to get better at osu. Some times, I feel like I'm actually having a good day, get some good scores and feel satisfied with that day's efforts. And every time that happens, then follows an entire week of sucking at the game, even after playing an hour each day like shit with no improvement. It's so discouraging to keep playing while doing absolutely terrible compared to just a few days ago...

If you believe you'll never get better, you won't. You are the master of your own mind.

So, I finally got my gaming mouse back, and this happened on the same day.



It's so easy to FC something when you're not using cheap hardware. And actually, the G502 Logitech sent me to replace the G500s is way better designed for osu. The mouse clicker doesn't arch up, so it's easier to keep a good grip.

[Ceris]

Oh, I remember watching videos about that before, you've got the humped back mouses and the flat ones, you generally use your fingers to move the flat mice, and the humped one you use your palm and wrist more.

And I don't think "I will never get better" exactly, it's just frustrating to see progress, then see negative progress the next day. One thing I can say, no matter how bad my aim is in a particular day, my streaming is less sporadic than it used to be. Even though I'm shit at it, I can at least notice I'm getting more consistent in that regard. Accuracy and Aim are completely random for me on days though :/

I feel ya. The only thing I'm consistent with is acc, but my aim is kinda sporadic. Although lately I've been getting better after doing the low AR practice that you mentioned some time ago. That FC I posted just now was on my 2nd try, and it's my highest pp score too.

[Ceris]

That was Maef who said to play lower AR maps, I suck at anything below 8.8 maps. I got my best PP score about 2 months ago, but in the past 2 months, I've gotten 8 of my 10 100+ PP scores, 5 of which were in the past week, which is cool. 

My best PP score was some random attempt that went amazing. Some of my other scores are a mix of grinding the song a little til I got a good run, or a 2nd or 3rd try that day.

[Kenshin_sama]

Play AR8 till you get better at it. It does help a lot.

[Ceris]

I find AR8 boring, because the extremely massive majority of the maps I have are slow. It would probably make a difference with shitmisses (that's a big flaw I have), but I've always been inconsistent skill wise in all games I've played in my life, so idk how much it would help. I've just always sucked 90% of the time and then 10% of the time played my best and get stuff done.

[Ceris]

FINALLY I've attempted this song so many times over the past nearly 2 years and I finally got my first clear of the damn thing. Sadly, it's one of the more poor plays I've had, but a clear is a clear (and honestly, I don't even think the song is that hard, idk why it took so long to clear it lol)

Broken pen, won't be able to play for a while.

Switching to mania

[Ceris]

I just discovered this exists, and totally think it shouldn't.

 

So just because someone played more songs than me, even if they aren't better, they can be higher ranked than me? How is that fair? Shouldn't PP at least attempt to show skill? Assuming I can just go and complete a few hundred random songs on easy, since that's all you need for ranked score, I could inflate my PP just by doing that?

[Kenshin_sama]

Play for yourself, don't worry about rank.

[Zakamutt]

Peppy wanted people (especially new players) to feel they were progressing even though they were not actually scoring that much better performance-wise, and so the games played bonus was born, iirc. I don't really mind myself, but I'm at a lot of plays...

[Ceris]

I'm at a whole lot of plays myself, but that's because I have such a massive number of retries. Literally like 60-70% of my play count came from my first few months of playing the game, and I was still playing Hards back then lol...

[Guest]

When you get passed the 5000 plays, this amount doesn't change much really.

At a certain level, everybody has tose bonus points. Don't worry about them.

[Kenshin_sama]

Yessssssssss! This was so weird though, I didn't realize I FC'd this until after the scoreboard came up, and I was even more surprised at my acc.

[Ceris]

I had that map on my "To FC one day when I don't suck" collection lol

~~

I remember when I struggled to get even 96% on this song

I noticed my aim hasn't really changed much recently, but my overall accuracy and my non-existent streaming skills increased by a lot.

[Kenshin_sama]

Check this out, no greens!

RIP in pieces SS. 

Nice FC Ceris. I kinda have that on my list too lol. Hopefully one day. I'm still pretty inconsistent with my aim.

[Ceris]

I had one of those recently, and I've gotten a few 1x100 too, which is unfortunate

 

I wasn't having a good aim day, and I missed on the ending jumps.

 

Speaking of inconsistent aim, my aim in combined with being able to hit large jumps and then just shitmiss a lot. I got this a couple days ago for my best PP score though, not my best accuracy wise though

 

 

 

[Kenshin_sama]

Damn, 140 pp. o.o That's almost 20 points ahead of my next leading score. This play brought me back to being under 40k again. Not my highest rank yet, but I'm getting there.

[Nosebleed]

Feels like it's been forever, but I'm finally back to playing osu.

It sure feels like shit starting from rank 74k when I used to be 25k, but I think I've regained my composure and mentality to play this game without stressing myself out about ranks and pp in general.
I also bought a new mouse that does wonders on osu and I hope to buy an actual proper keyboard (I play on a laptop) so I can actually tap and stream without destroying my fingers.

For those wondering, the reason I quit was because my old mouse broke and the game was just making me upset in general which was not fun at all. Hopefully I won't get to that point again!

Dunno if I'll post in the thread very often but figured I'd let people know if they want to add me so we can multi, here's my profile: https://osu.ppy.sh/u/3386810

Best recent play was probably this one:

The accuracy was insanely high but one slip up ruined the whole play. It didn't even enter my top scores for this map, but I played better in it than any other time.
