Welcome to the osu! thread! Here, you can discuss anything about the PC musical rhythm game, osu!

If you want to try out the game, download it at this website. Remember, you'll have to make an account.
http://osu.ppy.sh/
Once you make an account, you can look up "beatmaps." (on the same site) Beatmaps are basically different tracks you can play out. Once you download it, just drag the file into the osu! window! It's as easy as that. You can even make your own beatmaps! But it'll take some time and skill.

So what do you think about osu?
What's your favorite beatmap?
What skin are you using?
Do you prefer the standard osu! mode, the Taiko mode, or the Catch the Beat! mode?
Suggest beatmaps!
You can also share usernames so you can play each other online.

osu! is a very fun experience that I would recommend to almost everyone, actually. I'm honestly not very good at it, but it's fun to play along to some of my favourite anime and visual novel themes!

This is no doubt the best beatmap ever.

I have this game!!! I wish I was actually good at the game though, because then it would be really really fun and i would play it daily, I guess practice makes perfect.

I was playing around with the mods when I came across this:

http://i50.tinypic.com/smdhli.png

THE NIGHTCORE MOD.

As you can see, the Nightcore mod replaces the Double Time mod. I still have no idea how I accessed it. I THINK you have to click the Double Time mod multiple times. But anyway, the Nightcore mod is basically Double Time but with extra beats and claps. It is very entertaining to test on beatmaps as well.

Hey, how deja vu-ish. I opened up this thread in the old forums. Also you might wanna switch to a skin with transparent 300s. Most likely, those 300s and 100s will cause a lot of confusion when you're playing. I'm actually very good at osu!. In terms of skill, I'm good with repetitive streams, some death streams, jumps, and can S any song (well except the approved maps, the most I can get on those are an A) on their hardest difficulty, and I see you have the Yuru Yuri beatmap.

Oh, my skin?

I just wanted to bump this lovely topic because I tried osu! a few weeks ago and I'm STILL obsessed. This seriously takes up many hours of my day almost everyday. I find it fun, entertaining, flashy at higher levels, and interesting with all of skins that people put into their beatmaps. Also, getting new songs from other people just introduces me to new music, which I enjoy very much.

I do apologize for bumping this, but I'd rather do this than make a new thread for it. I really think that if you enjoy music and games, and you can use a mouse, this could really fun.

If anyone has this game already, my username is the same as this one "Shiningbolt".

Ah, yes. No promises, but I have this strange passion to keep this thread going, so I'll probably start doing what Epicch33se planned to do and upload some playthroughs of a few maps. Only problem is...I don't know how to record a computer screen.

It's good to see that this thread has been revived. I didn't want to double post and get in trouble with the mods and admins.

It's too bad that I can't go on my laptop to play osu!. In fact, I've probably stayed away from my computer too long that my ability to play on a really hard difficulty might have been gone.

Edit:

Only problem is...I don't know how to record a computer screen.

There's this wonderful screen recorder called Bandicam. The trial verson goes up to 10 minutes of recording instead of the usual 30 seconds and there's no expiration date on the trial verson.

And how long have you been playing osu!? Are you using a mouse too? Just wondering 'cause the movement of the cursor is a little more sticky than playing with tablet.

And for future reference, you also might need WinRAR 'cause as you get into harder difficulties, that default cursor and 300s might work against you, like in the second where you could barely see because of the white hitcircle, so you would need to get skins for osu!. Most skin packages are on in RAR files, which is why you probably need WinRAR. Osu! is actually not all based on skill. Just a suggestion, though.

I have been playing osu! for three weeks (it's in the description in the Vanilla Salt video), I'm using a mouse (also in the description), and yeah, I have WinRAR already. I do want to get a different skin, but I haven't found anything that really stood out.

I wonder how you record with such fluency, Shiningbolt. Whenever I try to record, the fps goes down by half and I'm playing osu! at 120 fps.

I just have a really nice laptop. I actually switched to 120fps in-game before recording and it still recorded just fine.

According to the site, there is no native port of the game for mac. It appears setting up Windows on your mac would work, but I have no idea what that means, how to do it, etc. There's a guide on how to do it here (http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14664) if you want to do that, though.

And my next session of osu! playthroughs starts now! The first song is fitting for the season and also harder than the stuff from last session! Again, I'm going by order of difficulty, so the one on the bottom is what I think was the hardest and best exemplifies my current skill level. The coolest one is the 4th one, though.

Why didn't I notice this before. This game is EXACTLY like Elite Beat Agents!, a game I have on my DS.

I LOVE musical rhythm games like these, and I would LOVE to play, but I can't download on my computer because it's mostly my dad's work computer. =/

EDIT: Good news! I can download the app on my tablet, and I'm gonna play it! Wish me luck!

So... I wanted to test out osu!record. Worked out fine. It's INSANELY fast, and it's 60 frames per second. Least it's better than 20. >.>

There's this lag spike at 1:11, but I guess it can't be helped. However, it sounds like the video and audio become more and more off-sync the further it is towards the end... Am I the only one who hears this?

Shaymin
07-20-2013, 10:39 PM
*revives*

So . . . question. Throughout my years of playing osu!, the difficulty of a difficulty has been... more difficult. :P Like when playing an Insane mode from years back compared to an Insane now, the latter has faster circle approach, more jumps, etc.

Anybody else notice this? Most likely, it's because of the beatmap makers getting more creative with the difficulties. I'm not sure if the same could be said for the other modes.

07-24-2013, 07:39 PM
I play this game constantly, for a lot of reasons. I had Elite Beat Agents for the DS, which is the American port of the DS game Osu!, so I was already really familiar with the game's system. However, I happened to find Osu! just as I got into anime big time, which is really really convenient. I basically download every opening or ending theme I like, and play them. I generally play on "hard" difficulties on most beatmaps.

I'm currently trying to beat the OP of "Haiyore! Nyaruko-san" and "Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W" on Hard. That's basically where my skill level is right now - insane songs are too much for me most of the time. xD

Edit: Yeah, it's starting to work now. I guess Youtube takes longer to process videos now.

It's hard in like the first few weeks. You'll be able to pass a Hard mode with a good score by the end of your first month. :3

I checked kind of sort of thoroughly and it looks like I beat my first Insane after 11 days. I even got an A on it. But the thing is, on my first day, I was failing Normal mode songs and complaining to "someone" about having problems with the mouse (I really did, though) and the beatmaps being "unfair". Now I just laugh at the things I thought back then and the songs I couldn't beat.

It may seem difficult, but the more you play, the better you get. Then you may even start to wonder why you thought the game was as hard as you said in the first place.

I have been playing this game non-stop since I got it two days ago. It has become my life. not that i ever had one anyway
I'm improving slowly, but I can only play Easy maps and one or two Normal maps at this point with a good score. I don't even understand how people can do Insane maps. ;_;

Pretty much, except you need to have endurance and rhythm. Actually, there are four modes, so it kind of differs.
