holy shit what

#

my latency is like .8ms in game

#

I've never had it lower than 3.4ms

#

only made like two minor window setting adjustments tfrog

crimson prairie
#

enlighten us wtf

#

you can't just say i solved latency then keep quiet

south vault
#

i solved latency by not opening the game

stuck sentinel
#

I’m always early by like 5ms this is crazy

i solved latency by throwing my $20 mech keyboard for a $100 one 🔥

warm falcon
#

Yall have mech keyboards?

#

I'm using a half broken membrane kb

stuck sentinel
#

yes

crimson prairie
naive holly
#

I use a key pad ong

#

unfortunately not the speed hack wooting keypad, just the sim pad but can confirm it's good like

#

was like, idk, 40 dollars maybe at most (got some other switches and stuff with it)

naive holly
crimson prairie
#

all in the wrists

naive holly
#

I mean, I hove my entire arm + wrists when I tap in both taiko and standard so there's not any completely whack wrist positioning, but still is uncomfortable if the keyboard is high enough off my desk lol

#

mech keyboards are honestly a huge downgrade from laptop keyboards

#

laptop keyboards are so,, responsive

#

so light

edgy jackal
#

how are you so good

warm falcon
#

laptop keyboards take more force to press imo

#

goodbye stamina

edgy jackal
#

depends on the laptop

#

but my laptop has the smoothest keys ever i swear

#

its like wooting but laptop form

#

i can stream 30-40 more bpm compared to mech keyboard

severe inlet
#

It also really depends on the switches

#

And ✨ personal preference ✨

warm falcon
#

the only laptop i've ever tried was a shitty school laptop

#

so yeah

#

it went as you can imagine

edgy jackal
#

makes sense

warm falcon
#

could barely burst 170 on it

severe inlet
#

I think we also kinda found out that your kb and mouse/tablet don't matter

edgy jackal
#

i cant imagine playing osu with keys that are stiff

#

im already so bad at tapping

severe inlet
#

No

warm falcon
#

try playing on my shitty kb

#

the mouse/tablet thing sure it's all preference

#

but kb kinda matters

edgy jackal
#

think its more like doesnt matter which type

severe inlet
#

Wxhlf

#

Who was that one guy

edgy jackal
#

shitty kb will be shitty and shitty mouse will be shitty

severe inlet
#

That set a 4 mod 1k

edgy jackal
#

4mod 1k?

#

which mods

severe inlet

#

dude fl players are something else

#

what the fuck

#
#

whole 1 hour saltroll

edgy jackal
#

yeah

#

theyre

#

something else

#

the most i memorized with fl is a 1 min 30 map

#

i should honestly jsut become a fl one trick

#

i have ezhdfl of this diff memorized until the 1st kiai

#

some switches are so heavy your going to die trying to burst

#

while some are so light that your going to die in any map involving unwanted clicks

naive holly
#

regarding laptop keyboards, they’re usually scissor switches. It’s what I really like for taiko (hence why the normal keyboards I get are usually always scissor switches)

my keypad that I use for standard has speed silver mech switches though. Both very easy to bottom out and I like that

#

was doing like 270bpm streams with my keyboard, and my laptop’s built in keyboard allowed for the same-

though if you get a shitty laptop, the polling rate might be dog 💀

ocean hollow
#

also a shitty mech keyboard

#

i have a $20 keyboard with a horrible polling rate

#

it shitted like 3$ of my acc 🗿

naive holly
#

idk what switches most mech keyboards come with at base. I know certain keyboard brands use different brands of switches too

#

I only have experience with cherry switches but I really like silvers and blues

#

unsure if most keyboards are hot swappable or not either

ocean hollow
#

well its like around 60% hot swappable

#

40% not

#

but usually the low end - low mid end keyboards tend to stock with red/brown/blue, and uncommonly black

naive holly
#

brown switches 🥴

#

vile

ocean hollow
#

sorry but blacks are vomiting

#

WHY DO PEOPLE USE BLACK SWITCHES 😭

naive holly
#

people with hands that weigh 30 pounds fr

crimson prairie
#

honestly for me what's a dealbreaker is just actuation distance

#

when i use any mechanical keyboard it feels like i need to press so far

#

while laptop keyboard is like <1mm

edgy jackal
#

how fast is ur peak stream on laptop vs mech

severe inlet
#

My keyboard has gateron ink black v2s

#

60g actuation and 70g bottom out lol

stuck sentinel
crimson prairie
#

i lose some stamina on mech

#

and it's way harder to acc anything

edgy jackal
#

i agree though

naive holly
#

which is like half the distance from most other switches at or smth

#

I don’t really have an accurate comparison between my keyboard and keypad because I use the keyboard for taiko and the keypad for standard

I generally like the keypad more for standard for the sole purpose of being able to feel the bottom outs easier to keep a steady rhythm. especially when everything is fucking od10

crimson prairie
#

oh yeah you only play hdhr right

#

how's that been treating you

naive holly
#

most taiko maps are like od8.4 at most (with hr) and I don’t even play hr with taiko that much

#

I mean, I haven’t been playing much recently, but still improving

crimson prairie
#

i still can't read ar10

naive holly
#

slow profile improvement since I’m still getting into 5* stuff

#

kinda an awk jump because most hard diffs I can rip a 99.5 on or smth within a couple reads

#

but insane diffs are still pretty rough. I’m starting to get some A’s and such

crimson prairie
#

probably because you're going from od6 sorta stuff to od7/8 which just becomes 10

naive holly
#

there are lower end 4* insane diffs that are mostly fine

#

yeah, most the hard stuff is like 8-9

#

and pretty much all the insane maps are 10

crimson prairie
#

i wish you good luck with the hr journey

#

i'm still a stamina onetrick

naive holly
#

triples got me for a while but I’m much more consistent with them now, even up to like 200-210bpm

#

streams are still kinda hit or miss but I haven’t been practicing them much

crimson prairie
#

you really don't wanna start off playing streams on hr lol

#

that's not going to be fun

naive holly
#

lmao yeah

crimson prairie
#

i technically have a hr stream 200

#

but that was base ar7 so it doesn't really count

naive holly
#

it’s not so much an issue with reading where the stream starts and ends and keeping rhythm. Mostly just maintaining the right velocity with my movements

#

there are a handful of maps in the 4* range that also already mess around with velocity changes during the streams lol

#

“streams”

#

more less 9 note bursts but yeah

#

and I feel hidden is more the issue than hr in that regard because if I stop paying attention at all I sorta lose track of where I am

crimson prairie
#

as always

#

consider taking a break from hdhr

#

or hr really

naive holly
#

I’ll probably at some point

#

but as it stands

#

I really fucking suck at nomod

#

not ideal

crimson prairie
#

what why

naive holly
#

I’ve basically never played nomod- even when I first started standard I started hdhr lmao
there was one day I set like 6 hr only scores but that was about it

crimson prairie
#

well yeah i guess that would do it

naive holly
#

so the general ar/circle size/approach circle difference is 💀

#

like if I got used to that

#

it wouldn’t be an issue, could still keep rhythm otherwise

stuck sentinel
#

Almost every 4* is OD9 AR9 HP5/6

naive holly
#

just confusing as it is currently lol because of how different it is

stuck sentinel
#

AR9 is bad

#

high AR=good AR

As someone who has ranked 3 4*s

naive holly
#

who can play the most crazy shot with ez mod

#

idk how tf he does it

#

genuinely insane

crimson prairie
#

sadly it's still pretty difficult to find maps that aren't super underrated above od8 in even the entire 5* range

crimson prairie
#

ar10

#

stop

naive holly
#

have you used osu trainer at all to edit the maps?
It wouldn’t count for leaderboard pp but would give you more comfortable stuff to play

stuck sentinel
#

Easy

crimson prairie
#

i've never used osu trainer i don't really see the point

naive holly
#

I have like 60 different maps that I’ve set to cs5 so with hr they’re 6.5 to practice aim (and 6.5 in general is just fun lol)

crimson prairie
#

i agree precision is fun

naive holly
#

and I honestly play those more than the normal map

stuck sentinel
#

A 3* taiko map got ranked the other day with OD and HP 10 lol

naive holly
#

wtf

#

lmao

stuck sentinel
#

Funny map

crimson prairie
#

taiko is no longer the prime schizomapping gamemode

#

how does that make you feel

naive holly
#

I have not touched taiko in 3 over years aside from playing something now and then while going through my map list and realizing how much I suck now

#

I didn’t realize it’s been that long 😔

#

I’m rank 2.2k now 😭

which honestly

#

1150 decay in three years is not that bad idt

#

Learning speed tho more

#

I can almost comfortably single tap 300bpm which unlocks a bunch of DT 200bpm maps

naive holly
#

actually insane

#

I never kept going that far

#

I was pretty good friends with jarvis though (3san? littleredridinghood? idk what he has his name set to now)

#

and he pretty much just one tricked dt

#

improved a lot over just a few months

#

last I knew he was #1 for USA but idk if that's still the case? haven't been keeping up at all tbh

#

idk who still plays and who doesn't, but I'm fairly certain nido stopped playing serious a good handful of years ago (and also got fucked by the pp changes that happened before I quit)

#

glad that has not changed - also average taiko leaderboards

#

what the fuck shinchikuhome plays with 4 fingers now and plays kddk what world am I living in

#

jk I guess he's always played kddk he's just been a 2 finger gamer for so long

#

interesting that he has a different tapping style for both hands in this vid, never noticed before. probs because left hand is slower than the right hand I'd imagine idk

stuck sentinel
#

prob but

#

full alt means you use both

#

you can't really do streams unless you are good with both

naive holly
#

oh definitely, yeah

naive holly
#

one single slider break within a 7min map stings a bit
shit acc anyway that can easily be improved when my door isn't being pounded on and I'm not trying to move my hair out of my face half the map

#

probs not farming out better acc today though

#

same acc without slider break is 143 compared to 101
can give up to 222 if acc isn't dog 😩

uhhhh osu channel active uhhhh

strange

#

when not fullscreen

#

i can feel my cursor dragging behind my mouse so hard

#

that any aim is hard to play

warm falcon
#

i have this issue

#

whenever i boot up the game the latency is minimal, but when i alt tab it sometimes makes my input like 20ms slower

I wish

naive holly
#

the fucking opposite tbh
so much time invested into taiko, only to play standard and realize how much more enjoyable the maps are

#

so many taiko maps are just like... uneventful, comparing them to standard

more maps need to build up sv or play around with it to match the intesity of the song. So many maps just keep a mostly static sv value and it just feels incredibly lackluster

crimson prairie
#

standard offers a lot of gameplay that's true

edgy jackal
#

this is why tech maps are good

#

they are want u to actually aim that isnt just jumps

i love slider tech maps (and no i dont mean 2b maps)

And hit the kats on each hand slightly before the dons

looking at the pp, p sure standard

could be wrong

that would be 5 digit in any other gamemode yea

everything is like 3y ago now rip surely I'll play taiko again someday

I didn't realize I hit that sendan life play before all the others wtf

I'd be motivated if there was a better standard map for skin theif tbh that song goes so hard

naive holly
#

that's such a sad last note to miss 😔

#

also man, being able to play 200bpm streams is still crazy impressive to me idk

like, being able to train your non dominant hand to tap that fast alone, pretty insane

#

only reason I could play fast shit in taiko is because my dominant hand carried tapping, and being able to alternate hands is a huge advantage lol

radiant badge
#

for me, i feel like my non-dominant hand (left) has always been much more dextrous than my right

#

when ur gaming, u use ur left hand for wasd, shift, control, space, etc, clicking tons of keys accurately and at the same time

#

streaming is the worst part of osu

crimson prairie
#

unfortunately streaming is a pretty meaningless skillset for tournaments

naive holly
#

I don’t think I’d say it’s meaningless. Even if you’re not playing big stream maps in tournaments, you still need good control in order to stream well, and that control can benefit other skills as well
also just having that stamina is good

naive holly
# radiant badge when ur gaming, u use ur left hand for wasd, shift, control, space, etc, clickin...

while true, there aren’t ever games I’m pressing wasd or other keys with my left hand at a super fast rate, nor do I ever need real precise movements of my fingers to hit those keys

While you’re only clicking two buttons with your mouse, you’re also using that entire hand to move and adjust the mouse. All sorts of micro adjustments are made in the process that helps build good control of your fingers, which just leads to much better dexterity as a whole I feel, I dunno

And that doesn’t include all the other fine motor movements you do with your dominant hand on a daily basis. Things even like eating with utensils, there’s a huge difference in feeling of control between the two hands in my experience

crimson prairie
#

there'a basically a single slot for streams and even then that's more often flow aim difficulty than stamina difficulty

#

relative to like
5 slots which are just aim
3 slots that are just speed
4 slots that are just alt (what the fuck)

crimson prairie
#

damn im playing the wrong dang game

#

tourneys need more alt

crimson prairie
#

alt is such a non meaningful skillset i don't understand why poolers love it so much

severe inlet
#

Alt is pog

crimson prairie
#

low ar or high cs is at least something you commonly come across alt maps are like once in a blue moon unironically

#

especially outside of dt

#

like it's crazy that mid bpm finger control, low & mid bpm stamina, nomod flow aim, and tapping accuracy are all largely locked to one slot

#

depending on some tournament's poolers even flowaim as a whole

#

but then they take nm3 (spaced alt patterns) dt4 (spaced alt patterns but higher ar, (sometimes)), and hr3 and/or hd3 (spaced alt patterns but higher ar or spaced alt patterns but with hd)

worn linden
#

hd3 is just whatever map is fun

#

hr3 is a stupid slot

#

dt4 is gimmick

crimson prairie
#

hd3 is either the most fun of the least fun map of the pool

naive holly
#

idek what defines an alt map
like, if it's 1/3 you generally alternate instinctively. If it's 1/4 you alternate surely. if it's 1/2 you can very easily singletap
pretty much applies to most bpms so like I dunno what defines an alt map

I also just full alt always except some really weird ritardando shit that I often just singletap for better acc

#

single tapping in taiko fucked me in the long run so I just avoided it with standard SKULLY

#

rather, it made progressing infinitely more difficult than needed once getting to 7 star maps

crimson prairie
#

yeah this is sort of the frustrating part

#

many players do alternate naturally

#

i've tried to, but even though i can acc low bpms without trouble and have solid finger control i really just couldn't get proper alternating down

#

so it kinda feels like "that skillset most people can do for free and can just treat as a standard aim map"

#

while, if you're not really an alt player, you're just kinda fucked on those maps

#

is it valid to be present in an average mappool? absolutely
but is it really necessary to test such a non-skillset as much as basically the entire pillar of tapping? i really don't think so

naive holly
#

Are alt maps just slower maps where the 1/4 bursts or streams feel a lot slower than normal, but not slow enough to single tap? or is there something specific that makes a map an alt map rather than something you can singletap as you normally would?

crimson prairie
#

alt maps are maps with high spacing patterns at bpms people can't singletap, essentially

#

of course it's always relative to skill but you're not really going to find players able to singletap 140bpm alt patterns at mid 5* range lol

naive holly
#

makes sense yeah

crimson prairie
#

(alt) dt4s are usually something more akin to 170ish bpm alternating, though of course easier and shorter alt patterning & usually higher ar/od

#

hr3 and hd3 usually are a secondary alt map & a secondary tech map, preferrably testing something the nm3 & nm4 didn't, but i've been seeing both being pooled as alt in the last two tournaments i've played frequently

#

but then like
tapping has: usually 170-200 bpm nm2, higher bpm speed stamina nm5, dt2 finger control (usually a different bpm than nm5), and dt3 is top sped bursting
the rest of the pool are gimmick (nm6, hd2, hr2) or aim (nm1, nm4, hd1, hr1, dt1)

#

and i just
i cant wrap my head around the idea that the three primary skillsets for osu, according to tournaments, is aim, tapping, and using an alt technique

radiant badge
crimson prairie
#

i've started closing in on being able to singletap the lower bpm alt maps and by that point it's painfully obvious it's just another aim map if you don't struggle with the very specific alternating part of it

so why??

naive holly
#

yeah idk alt tapping seems like an odd skillset for map pools to focus on

#

especially considering how many other skill sets there are

#

It definitely is a skill, and it does showcase a sense of tapping control which is pretty important but if there are multiple maps that are hyperfocused on showcasing that, it seems a bit awk

but yeah idk, as someone who exclusively plays ar10 and can't read anything below ar9 super accurately, that shit's just impressive to me

naive holly
# worn linden itll be always banned

I dunno
Even if things are commonly banned, they're worth including because peeps still only have a limited number of bans so they'd potentially have to practice other skill sets that they'd otherwise ban

that and, you don't need to perform well in a tourney. you only need to perform better than your competitor. I wouldn't say something's always worth banning just because you can't play it super well, unless your opponent can, obvs

I'd rather leave a map that's a 50/50 up for grabs and ban something away that I know I'm much less consistent at than my opponent

stuck sentinel
#

You have map pool A which is bannable, that’s NM/HD/HR/DT/FM

#

Then you have map pool B which isn’t bannable, that’s EX/FL/EZ/HDHR/AU

The most popular maps to ban seem to be nm3 (speed) and HD1/2 cause people hate HD

#

Taiko just sucks ass

crimson prairie

probably because the taiko convert agoritm just is crazy basic

catch has the big benefit of being non-specific in what counts as a hit

just like standard

Also catch maps are made using the std editor

#

had a particularly interesting session today

wild fox
#

I'm usually in the "I suck at this game" mode but every now and then I'm just able to actually hit circles its weird xD

crimson prairie
#

you should try out not playing hdhr every so often

#

trust me

naive holly
#

I literally can't play without hdhr 😭

#

right now I'm just in an awk place where like hard diffs I can 99.5% acc within like 1-3 plays
but most insane diffs I still struggle with and often float around 85-95% acc, aside from the super farmy maps which I can play pretty well

crimson prairie
#

boy have i got a good reason for you to not play hdhr then

naive holly
#

there's just not a good difficulty for me to train with atm

crimson prairie
#

just leave out the hardrock

naive holly
#

so it's just sorta struggling with the insane diffs and coping through them, but I'm absolutely improving still

crimson prairie
#

it's really not a friendly mod in the 4 & 5* range

naive holly
#

It feels really difficult to not use, mostly because of the ar, which I could train to be more consistent with probs, but I also like the smaller circle size

crimson prairie
#

then just download cs5 maps :3

naive holly
#

pretty much the biggest issue with hr atm is acc, and that's specifically because I can't fully read the maps well enough at this star range

#

idt it's so much the od10, because if it's a map I can comfortably read, I can hit od10 without any issues

#

but just a lack of being able to react and understand the rhythm within such a quick timeframe

#

Which I guess lower ar fixes but lower ar has a bigger issue of just being way too cluttery and also being super difficult to follow along with for that reason

#

and taking hidden off makes that even worse SKULLY

wild fox
#

Perhaps good to practice without hr every now and again =P

wild fox
#

I should probably practice playing with mods every now and again on the other hand xD

naive holly
#

in regards to taking off hr now and then, it just seems kinda not helpful, I dunno
in the amount of time it'd take to learn and get comfortable without hr, I'd be able to further improve my hdhr play

and if the goal is to just make hdhr plays, there's not much a reason to take off hr because learning how to process patterns ar8 with a lot of clutter doesn't really help me process patterns any better than at ar10

#

I think if the goal was to play in tournaments and stuff, absolutely yeah

#

but it just is way too difficult for me to play without hr unless it's like hddt where there's a bit of an ar and speed increase due to dt

#

tldr taking hr off for me is like a nomod main putting ez on. it's very difficult without a lottt of practice

ehhh I disagree, on top stream maps you'll see a lot of japanese kddk players

#

ddkk you'll find on like

#

300-400bpm speed maps

#

usually DT maps

naive holly
#

I mean, for the average player, ddkk is very difficult on faster maps
If your name is like, applers or shinchikuhome, you've probs found that comfy tapping method that you feel gives an edge

But you have to have so much skill to even be at the point where it's worth considering ddkk as an easier alternative to kddk for faster maps imo

stuck sentinel
#

There are some fast maps that I can’t pass or have just about passed that lower ddkk players can do better

It really just depends on how it’s mapped

I don't think that's scorev1 lol

171x combo almost the same score as the 339x

#

Maybe mania is built different

#

But std scorev1 doesn't work like that

radiant badge
#

mania sv1 is so immensely arcane and bullshit

#

the way it works is that only 50% of the total score obtainable is gained via base score, which is the kind of score that makes sense

#

the other 50% is from bonus score which changes depending on this dumb multiplier that changes depending on what judgements youve been getting

#

hit bonus is limited to a range of 0 to 100:
320 adds 2 to hit bonus
300 adds 1 to hit bonus
200 takes 8 from hit bonus
100 takes 24 from hit bonus
50 takes 44 from hit bonus
a miss takes away the entire hit bonus

#

its basically combo except not tied to combo

#

and its capped and it also can decrease without resetting

crimson prairie
#

mania is just sort of a weird gamemode

#

it just has entirely different rules, concepts and functions than the other gamemodes

radiant badge
#

playing multiple gamemodes u can see the good and bad parts of each of them

#

i like personally adjustable scroll speed and wish it was implemented in standard instead of as a map specific stat

#

also osu mania double time and half time doesnt affect hit judgements and it feels infinitely better than standard and taiko where it does

crimson prairie
#

i used to be a massive hater of the concept of ar in standard

#

but, and possibly through several layers of stockholm syndrome, i do see the value in it

#

to oversimplify my thoughts on mania, i feel like compared to the other gamemodes, very little actually matters

radiant badge
#

or like as in combo/fc doesnt matter

#

combo or fc tho i think would massively detriment the mode if it mattered, cause the difficulty gap between things you can fc and the maps you find challenging is so big

#

that argument could also be applied to standard i guess but i feel like the fact that notes appear sequentially instead of across a whole bunch of columns makes it feel a lot less infuriating to try an fc on, especially on 7k or 10k

#

if you can fc something on mania, youre probably pretty close to being able to 95% it with dt

crimson prairie
#

mania exists in this weird limbo where it clearly doesn't want to be anything close to the other gamemodes but peppy never actually want the full way of making it "etterna but more accessible"

radiant badge
#

i overwrote it,,,,,, i could cry!!!!!!

#

yessss!!!

radiant badge
crimson prairie
#

i do get the idea that most of its flaws were intentional though

#

at least the way it's always seemed to me was that mania was sort of the result of elitist classic vsrg players looking down on osu as a whole and peppy trying to cater to them specifically

#

the out of 1,000,000 max score, the custom scroll rates, the incredibly weird judgments, removal of combo as even a real concept for the gamemode, all that jazz

#

personally i really think the scoring is what always irks me the most

#

nevermind weird mod score multipliers, why does mania not even have any mod multiplier

radiant badge
#

mania needs mod multipliers

#

i am a fan of the idea of 1,000,000 max, but i really hate current sv1
