osu!

[Xiaounlimited]

Anybody play it? It's basically the StepMania of Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! (or Elite Beat Agents for those of you who've only played the NA port). You can play it with your mouse, but unless you have a tablet IMO, you can't fully enjoy it.

I played it for five hours today. It's amazingly fun; even moreso than Ouendan 1&2/EBA, because beatmaps are so much more difficult.

If you liked either game, give it a whirl. Bonus if you have a tablet. Also, there are charts for awesome songs like this:

Re: osu!

Just downloaded it. It looks pretty fun.

Re: osu!

Dang that look like so much fun. I played Elite Beat Agents on the DS, but this looks really hard to do with a mouse.

EDIT: How much is a tablet.

Re: osu!

I have a pen tablet.

, but I still suck at this game.

Re: osu!

I got mine new for 50 bucks, but you can get them for way cheaper refurbished. It won't matter if you do if you only really use it for this.

I use mine for drawing though, as well

Re: osu!

I've seen this before actually while looking for a good online/downloadable EBA one day. It looked good, but I didn't download it. :P I'll download it later if I get bored.

Re: osu!

I cannot not complete a slider ever. It always kills me. Any advice? I already read the FAQ, but that does not help me at all.

Edit: Nevermind, I read the FAQ wrong. I am dumb.

Re: osu!

Are you putting enough pressure on the tablet consistently?

I read the FAQ wrong and did not know you had to follow the ball.

I love how if you open a song, it will open the game to the song. Best feature ever.

Re: osu!

What exactly do you mean by Tablet? I searched Tablet up and get PC Tablets for like $500. Mind pointing me in the right direction to buy a cheap refurbished one? I'm definitely wanting to be one, this game is ****ing sweet.

Is there an online multiplayer feature?

If there's a store that sells refurbished electronics near you, you might be in luck. I'm referring to a pen tablet; high end ones can be 200-300. You might have looked up something else, because 500 is highway robbery at any rate.

Or if you have any friends with them, ask to borrow it for awhile.

I don't know, Best Buy might have something if there's one near you.

Also yes, there's an online function. It's right below Solo Play.

Re: osu!

Ahh, okay a Pen Tablet. I searched Tablet and got these flat screens that looked like a giant touch screen/computer. Alright thanks, this game is so much fun I'm seriously addicted to it now, but I'm sucking with a mouse.

EDIT: What is a Pen Tablet? Lol. Is it like a screen and a pen?

EDIT2: Ughh I can't play this without something other than a mouse... too hard.

Re: osu!

This definitely made my day. Even though it's an easy difficulty, still pretty cool. The song is good also.



What is the difference from the regular 300, and the one with the characters? I love watching my name go up the ranks as I play. xD This game is really fun.

Only one on the scoreboard with a double S, the 4 people in front of me have only Ss.

Re: osu!

The characters are the finishes to a colour string. A red string with 1 2 3 4 5 will have a character on the final note. Hitting a string with all 300s will get you "geki", the top symbol. Hitting a string with a 100 in it will get you the second symbol, "katu", regardless of if the final hit is a 300 or a 100 (the 300 will appear, but with "katu" if the case may be).

If you hit a 50 in any string, you will get neither.

Re: osu!

Any recommended beatmaps?

Or is there no such thing as a "good" beatmap versus a "bad" beatmap, and it's all based on the songs you prefer?

Damn someone needs to do something about those messed up Japanese titles/artists.
