i don't think i will be the first or last to say this, but you don't really gain much from doing terribly on something too hard for you. passing or failing a song really does not matter in the grand scheme of things, as some songs have much more hp drain than others. judging by the unstable rate and the incapability to hold long notes, you're not used to any of these patterns yet, especially on simultaneous notes with long notes where people tend to let go out of a wish to let go of the key moreso than not being able to keep it held. if you care to improve, here are some general tips: 1. it is much easier to read where notes are NOT present rather than where notes are present. this especially applies to long notes, meaning the most you need to read of them is where they end. still applies to normal notes for denser patterns. you'll eventually figure out it's a combo of both reading notes and space that make reading notes easiest. 2. as well, notes tend to have some form of direction, aka are your fingers tapping from right or left to left or right. reading notes like that makes earlier patterns easier to read, and then make reading and hitting more than one note at once the real challenge, though not to hard with enough muscle memory for them. 3. on the topic of muscle memory, it tends to be how most patterns are read. i know how hard it is to find songs with specific patterns which is why i'm actually going to say try to find songs you like. familiarize yourself with their patterns. most people tend to just download practice packs and whatever, that's fine but you gotta enjoy the game, and enjoying the song and map means enjoying the game. 4. Don't rush to extremely difficult songs. As far as osu mania goes, play songs your level and (answers may vary) 0.6* above, get S on them, and then try slowly moving onto harder songs. Accuracy matters as it tends to be a measure of comfort on a song, comfort being pattern familiarity and speed to hit it. 5. If it helps, rhythm games have you hit to the noises of the songs and that is how you get accuracy. It may sound like a "no duh" thing but there tends to be that moment where you realize "oh it's hitting to this sound/rhythm!" and the eventual realization that basically every note and long note are following a rhythm. If you want to ask anything else, i'll respond as long as I'm not sleeping or at school.
its not that im rushing into hard songs i just enjoy them more than the easy ones, yea im not used to the note patterns and i always struggle with hold notes however once i pass a level for the first time i tend to slow it down so i can improve rank and such, this is just my first pass is all. i like to be challenged because i almost never experienced skill challenges in many other things before and im enjoying the experience. its just how i like to play, im not hellbent on getting better at the game im just enjoying the ride. also already knew and was practicing tips 1 and 5 lol. i got a friend irl whos much better at the game than me thats also helping me along and despite having significantly less plays than him im not too far off skill wise, i just have good reaction time if nothing else.
@@tiberiusdeangelo All of this I can understand and get behind fine. I would be a hypocrite if I didn't admit to doing the same for fun sake. That said I do feel with improvement comes more fun opportunity, especially the earlier stages. Don't let me bend you into improving out of your own pace though.
