Yeah... It's true, I do play on some pretty stupid settings. It's usually something like:

Beatmania (v2)
Show Combo
Global Offset ~ -4.315
Judge Offset ~ -4.315
Receptor Spacing ~ 95
Speed ~ 8 - 15
Hidden
Rotate
Mirror
Dark
No Background
Column Colors

Most people ask why I use these types of settings, and honestly, I don't really know. I have always liked pushing myself to do the craziest things I can. When I started playing osu!, I almost quit on the first day because I thought I sucked so bad. The friend that actually showed me osu! quit around the time when I started destroy him at standard (My 5th day :| I'm a VERY fast learner). Before he had quit he had introduced me to another person that actually started on FFR, but moved to osu!mania.

When I had seen him play for the first time, I thought that he was a god at mania, but I'll come back to him. Around the first 3 games of standard on osu! I went through the other gamemodes, and I guess mania was pretty easy for me. (osu! was my first rhythm game o.O) I passed my first map on mania, but that was pretty much the only one I tried at the time because I really needed to try to get better at standard.

Anyways, this other guy, (I won't say names because I don't know if they would like to see their names on here or anything :3) and my friend were switching off spectating each-other. So my friend had asked if I wanted to watch, and maybe play a few games, this was when he said that "The other guy (sorry ;-;)" played a different gamemode than us... So I decided to watch anyways.

I remember the first beatmap that he played was Insane Techniques by Kors-K on Hyper, (The beatmap is deleted now, fak yew Beatmania: https://gist.github.com/peppy/99e6959772083cdfde8a) I couldn't believe that he was able to read all of the things on screen, and I still can't really, because of the speed he played on... >.> hueheuhue. After that game I decided to try that beatmap, and they wanted to spectate, so I played it on the lowest difficulty, and FC'd it with either an A, or an S, I can't really remember. Then my friend had said "Woah", and the other person had said "NICE!". This led to them questioning how long I have played mania for, they didn't really believe that this was my 2nd game...

So this other guy and I started playing together a bit after my friend had quit. (fak it, I'm just gonna call "That other guy" "M" for now on... >.>) M, was about 30k on mania, but I passed him in about 6 weeks. I was able to read 4 star maps in a few months, and was able to read roughly 3500 (BPM*Scroll Speed=x; For future maps do x/BPM=Scroll Speed ^-^). !!!!WILL CONTINUE WRITING!!!! juzt ggime a sec mang...
