Long, short story:

Am bad-to-average FPS gamer, looking to improve. Saw an OSU! gamer flinging its "shots" left and right and tried my best to mimick the experience in an FPS. And it worked significantly -- all of my shots felt more "secure", even with my aiming being rusty beyond belief.

And the "trick" to do this is simply leaving your "aiming hand" to aim (ONLY) while leaving your "non-aiming hand" to shoot and everything else. That's it.

In my experience, while osu is a good warm up it's not a substitute for a 3d aim trainer. Unless you are using mcosu with some modifications - using the fps mod and making the circle size smaller, among other things - the aim in osu doesn't transfer one to one to shooters. While it certainly helps getting the hand movements like the flicks and such ready, 2d just isn't the same as 3d since you can't even map the sens to be the same, its kind of impossible actually.
