It's never too late to become #1 brother. Great vid

[daniel]

i personally rly don't like these kind of videos but i found a lot of insight into how u talked abt bad handwriting and aim. my handwriting is awful and i hold my pen like i would normally and aim has always been a huge struggle, so i'll definitely think abt that

17:23 I actually had the same problem for the longest time, I picked up alternating so early that I never really learned to single tap.

[dormin]

great video old chap. this is exactly the kind of advice I would give to people trying to improve. Couldn't have said it better

[ShadowaOsu]

referring to 4:20, Cookiezi actually used to change his area very frequently since he never could find a consistent and comfortable grip/area. I believe it is still how he does but I need to fact check that, its been a while.

As you get better with mouse you will eventually get better at dealing with mouse drift, if you tough it out and play more eventually you will notice you can deal with mouse drift better or just get less mouse drift

[Romio]

Thanks a lot for your dedication and good stuff in the video, i will do my best!!!

[ungsuhan]

Im finally improving again lol. I figured out what was preventing me from doing so, that is i was autopiloting everything. Now i instead focus on every note (or every other on fast maps)

[damjanlenc]

There are some monitors with a high contrast mode, which can make reading AR 11 much easier. Also try old Osu 4 star maps like DJpop maps. Helped my reading a lot i was able to get 95% on HWs deconstruction star.

getting an oled made me jump really high... its wild

[saiykuu]

why are you labeling this an 'In-Depth Guide' when its just surface level info and tips

[verodeus]

when you said "I believe a player who can rival mrekk will arise" you just willed akolibed's 1.5K to happen bro
