Default Help for osu! n00b

I first made an account on osu! in like 2015 and I couldn't really get the hang of the game back then. I deleted my account and went back to StepMania. I tried again and made another account in 2019, but again it didn't really stick. Now I'm trying yet again to actually learn how to play this game. And I'm still playing with a mouse. Anyone have any tips for a total beginner? Like good easy beatmap packs or something.

If you are using a mouse, make sure to turn off 'Enhance pointer precision' in Windows mouse settings

The uninstall option is always the best one here.

You made the right choice twice, it's time to make it for good this time.

To be fair, it's not exclusively here.

But some ass holes, like myself, are very vocal about it.

Nah, plenty of players here are fine with osu even if they don't play it. If you are interested, listen to the people that wanna help and just try to block out the others.

Some very questionable design decisions and certain parts of the fanbase.

That said, clicking circles is fun, do what you wanna do.

Might be good for the long run to click the arrows using two keyboard buttons instead of mouse clicking, iirc it it helps when things get harder.

I broke 3 mouses on Osu in the lifespan of one keyboard from spinners.

The moment players started using the Tablet, I quit osu because fast streams were too hard with a mouse compared to Tablet.

I was in the top 200 in 2008 around when the game came out. I'm probably not even in top 1000 now.


tl:dr; I wouldn't recommend Osu circle unless you actually own a Tablet.

It's a pretty vocal minority. For the most part you'll really only see Xel throwing a hissy fit everytime osu! is brought up, and after spending some time on this site you'll quickly realize they're better off put on your ignore list. No loss there.

Ignore Xel. Dude has been pissy about rhythm games since I met him.

I would start by checking out the osu forums. There are tons of tips and tricks given out to people who are just trying to get to the next stage.

In terms of actual tips, try to start basic, find a skin that's right for you, good luck using osu's dumbass offset wizard, good luck

Xel is on the right track but he is kinda a bit too on the nose and intrusive about it if I'm using the right words

The game's charts aren't synced right, the editor to make content is AWFUL, content from Etterna has been stolen for osu, the community is bad, and the mechanics of the ranking system are just absurdly bad.

Every file on immense one fuck up you fail life drain is shit. Doubling the BPM for files for no reason is shit.

I could earnestly go for a long time. The short hand is, the game is just not an experience I'd think a lot of people could earnestly describe as "good." The game doesn't respect the players, or the people who make content for it. THAT'S my fucking issue with the game.

I will continue saying this, but generalizing an entire large fandom is a dick move and isn't accurate at all. The sonic fandom gets alot of shit but it is one of the best fandoms I've been in

Dude, you're always the first one to hate on osu on osu related threads. I don't like o!m but I only hate on it when someone else does (which is most likely you)

Your opinions aren’t very credible most of the time so this kind of has zero weight.

I love how everytime someone comes here asking for help on osu! it results in a fight



I hate this website

I wouldn't necessary call it a fight because that would require one of us to be somewhat upset.

Obviously people have to still be enjoying osu because it's one of the most heavily played rhythm games out there and has been around for quite some time. I think it's good for OP to form their own opinion over time and make that judgement for themselves.
