Main page: Play Styles By default, a lot of players will start out with the mouse, since it's often the quickest available aiming tool by far. But there are actually multiple means of input to control the cursor and pop the circles: 1. Mouse 2. Tablet 3. Touch Screen 4. Keyboard Clicking There are other ways you can control the cursor (Wiimote, mot...
Accuracy and Timing
One of the most important factors when playing osu! is your timing, much like other rhythm games! In this sense, if you've listened to a lot of music, it should be fairly easy to pick up on. The goal of accuracy and timing is to tap the notes at the correct time as precisely as possible. Each object in the game has an approach circle; a large ring that slowly approaches the hit circle itself. When the ring reaches the circle, it's time to tap it! If you pay attention to them carefully, it wil...
Aiming
In a point-and-click game like osu!, aiming is also another important factor. Being able to get the notes at the right time is pretty pointless without being able to get your cursor to the right location. In this case, the most effective way to improve in this sector is to simply play the game. It also helps to play harder and harder maps, since the spacing between notes will likely get bigger, making you move around more and tap the notes from wider distances. The best way you can practice f...
Speed
Eventually, when you get to harder difficulties, you will need to click the notes more rapidly. Improving in speed is actually quite simple; all you need to do is push yourself into clicking or tapping the keyboard faster. You can play games that require you to input as fast as possible, like Cookie Clicker or other button pushing games (they are very easy to find online if you just Google it).
Global Offset
Main page: How to use the Offset Wizard Depending on the devices you use to play osu! with, you may find that the hit circles aren't quite on beat with the music. To correct this, you can change the global offset value in the Settingsmenu. Global offset will change when the first note appears on beatmaps (either earlier or later than default), which in turn delays the rest of the notes by the same amount. A negative offset value will make notes appear slightly later, and a positive value will...
Raw Input
See also: Options A commonly overlooked feature of the game is the Raw Input function. This allows for direct reading of your input device into osu! itself. You may use this too if you don't like how Windows handles your mouse cursor, or especially recommended if you use a tablet. Give it a try and play a few maps with it, you might find yourself a lot more comfortable with it!
Skins
See also: Skinning There are many, many skins to pick from; you can find them on the forums, linked in chat, or even by asking the other users! While these will not improve your gameplay, they can help motivate you, or make playing osu! easier on the eyes. Or, if you prefer to not have a lot of the osu! HUD blocking the screen, you could find a skin with a minimal approach. You can even find skins formed by the prosand see what makes those skins more successful. Some skins have been built for...
Try giving these maps a go. They are ordered from the easiest to the most difficult, so try working your way down the list at your own pace!
Once you have exhausted the difficulty of the beatmaps listed here, don't stop there. Keep on going, and find some maps of a higher difficulty rating. Try even searching for beatmaps based on difficulty suggestion, as it will help you get an idea of where you need to go next. Don't be afraid to ask other users about improving, as mostly they will b...
One of the hardest things going into osu!mania, is finding what songs to play. So here's a collection of beginner (and I mean beginner) mapsets for the most popular keymodes, 4K and 7K, with lists of what each download contains (and links to the standalone song, if you only want one specifically).
If you can't stream, go play 4* low bpm mid- to death-stream maps until you CAN stream. If your unstable rate dips above 80 (or your target), go lower bpm. If you're not straining by the END of the map (not the middle), go higher. If you're just starting on streams, ignore the UR comment.
Nov 17, 2017 · I decided to write a guide on how to play osu! because I have seen many beginners struggling to play higher difficulty maps right off the bat (because of Cookiezi videos? x_x) and there aren't much tutorials or to play osu! the right way.
osu! - Rhythm is just a *click* away! With Ouendan/EBA, Taiko and original gameplay modes, as well as a fully functional level editor.
