[quote][B][I]What is osu! ?[/I][/B][QUOTE]osu! is a free rythm game based off the DS game 'Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan' or it's sequel 'Elite Beat Agents'[/QUOTE]
How do I play osu! ?
[QUOTE]While most PC users won't have a touchscreen at their disposal, this game is made to be playable with a normal mouse, as well as any number of input devices you can possibly think of. There are some songs which push the limits of the normal mouse (and you), but all the (ranked and approved) beatmaps have been tested and (most can be) passable using only a mouse.[/QUOTE]
[B]Hit Circles[/B]
[IMG]http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/images/e/eb/Hitcircles.jpg[/IMG]
Here you can see the circles you have to tap.
The smaller coloured circle on the outside shrinks and you have to hit the note at the exact point the outside circle overlaps with the white border.
To understand the hidden charm of hit-circles, you should not only rely on your perception (your eyes) but also the understanding of the beatmaps beats and rhythm by your ears (auditory).
[B]Sliders
[/B][IMG]http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/images/7/7f/Slider.jpg[/IMG]
Here we have a slider.
First, you have to hit it at the right moment, but it doesn't end there.
A ball will start to move across the path you see.
You have to hold the mouse/keyboard-button (or your finger/pen on the tablet) and keep your pointer inside the thick orange circle surrounding the ball as it moves.
You cannot control the movement, and you must follow its movement.
The orange circle will appear if you are holding it and disappears when you leave it.
Sometimes, as in the screenshot above, you have to move back at the end of the path.
You can tell by the reverse symbol at the end of the path.
[B]Spinners[/B]
[IMG]http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/images/a/ad/Spinner.jpg[/IMG]
This is a spinner.
You have to click then hold the hit-button, and the mouse is used to spin (clockwise or counter-clockwise) in circles like mad before the time (which is, that blue circle line) runs out.
The bars on the outside indicate how close you are to passing.
The small bar below the spinner shows spins per minute, means the number of spins you are making if you continue that speed of spinning for one minute.
If you didn't hold any hit-button prior to spinning, you will not fill up the gauge at all.
[I][B]Well, where can I get osu! ?[/B][/I][URL="http://osu.ppy.sh/"]
Right here.[/URL]
[I][B]Where can I get maps for it?
[/B][/I]You can download individual beatmaps or beatmap packs (reccomended) at the [URL="http://osu.ppy.sh/p/beatmaplist"]Beatmap list[/URL].
[quote]but waa, i don't like anime music[/quote]
Then get the english beatmap packs.
[B][I]Could I get some beginner tips?
[/I][/B]if you have a graphics tablet, I reccomend using that instead of a mouse.
Refrain from using the mouse to click as this jitters the cursor during gameplay, instead use z/x to hit notes![/quote]
Why did it take so long for a new thread to appear :rolleyes:
Anyways, get talking about your osu! related findings and experiences!

Been playing for almost a year, half with a mouse and the other with a tablet. I manage to beat insane beatmaps pretty well by now.
Looking back, I never thought I'd be able to play most of them, as they were too fast for me at the time :v:

Hey, I thought the same thing.
A few months ago I was thinking to myself 'I will never be able to pass normal maps'
Now I'm rushing through deathstream maps.
I haven't played this in ages but have lots of songs for it.
Should start playing it again.

It really is interesting going back to some difficult songs you weren't even able to comprehend before.
Like when I was introduced to an insane Wahrheit map, and I shit my pants trying to understand what the fuck was going on.
Now I play it half-asleep, yawning, S all around.

How did you break your stylus? You use Z/X don't you?

using z/x isn't related at to my tablet stylus at all :v:
I dropped it and the ferrite core cracked
I might be able to repair it this time but I don't know yet.
And if we're being specific here, I use the G6/G12 keys in my G110.
Alrighty.
I'd totally be playing Osu right now but I formated recently and haven't bothered redownloading all the goshdarn beatmaps.
However when I was playing I was doing my goddamn best to do this map
[Media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43kmmeXIctM[/Media]
Those goddamn streams
[url]http://osu.ppy.sh/u/1856187[/url]
Don't forget to post links to maps, I know I could sure do with some more fun maps
[URL]http://osu.ppy.sh/s/30012[/URL]
I seriously have no fucking clue how those top players did that with Hidden and Hardrock.
I suffer from huge accuracy failure because I alternate between keys every note
I should stop

Isn't that how you're supposed to play? zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxz
[QUOTE=EcksDee;37472420]Isn't that how you're supposed to play? zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxz[/QUOTE]
i've been told otherwise so much
apparently it [I]should[/I] be zxzxzx only on streams and only alternating every few notes otherwise

Super well made map. It's got the actual intro video and custom spinners, circles, and score pop-up thingys.
[url]http://osu.ppy.sh/b/83975&m=0[/url]
this map is sooo fun
not for beginners though :v:
what do the z & x keys do? everyone seems to use them but i haven't a clue what they are for
[QUOTE=themoses;37473873]what do the z & x keys do? everyone seems to use them but i haven't a clue what they are for[/QUOTE]
They hit notes
Same as what the mouse keys do.

It's so satisfying when you can do maps like this, feels so good.
