Just looking at your stats and your level ranks, I have some ideas of suggestions. I'm gonna watch the replay of Gaussian Blur 3 and then I'll post my full thoughts...

Alright, so I watched a bit of the replay. You start out pretty good with good accuracy, but get overwhelmed a bit during the full stream and begin to drop alot of goods.

If you play a song and get a ton of goods on it like that, it means the song is a bit out of your skill level. Your fingers are obviously getting tangled up on the streams because they are a bit too fast for your current skill level, the only thing you can do to work on this is to focus on similar patterns in songs that are a bit slower. If you are accurately hitting the streams, your fingers shouldn't be getting tangled up, unless its too fast.

I'm looking at your scores, and what I notice is that the majority of your top scores were from 5 years ago or 3 years ago. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, perhaps it while you were indexing, so you definitely have the potential to get to that level with spread.

So that being said, I'll just focus on the scores that were recent. The thing is, even if I scroll down to the scores in the top 70-100 range, there are still a ton of them that are years old. Other than your score on TGWP pt1, your best most recent score was on big boss, a level 59 song, and you got an AAA equiv of 42.

My suggestion: take a look at your top 100 scores page, and try your best to replace every score with recent ones. Obviously only the top 15 count, but from 15 and down the AAA equivalency is ~39. I think you can definitely AAA some level 39-40 songs, and they would still replace your best scores.

So if you want to improve, the best way to go about doing it, if you want to follow my advice, is focus on playing songs that are in your bounds, and replacing the old scores. Focus on accuracy and AAA equivalence, try your best to SDG songs. You should play songs that are level 40-45. If you SDG them, the AAA equivalence will be around 40, which is higher than alot of your scores. Once you replace all your scores, you can continue to replace all your scores and improve.

But yeah, overall, as a start I would focus on replacing all my old scores with more recent ones. If you can SDG songs in the 40-45 range (which also have good streams to practice), then work your way up to SDGing songs in the 46-50 range, you'll probably be able to replace the majority of your scores, including ones in the top 15. Obviously in the past when you indexed you were able to drop AAA equivs of 52, but you need to focus on the current skill and not go out of your bounds.

EDIT: Also, a really good way to practice I've found is to work on getting your highest rank SDG. The thing that made me start improving the most rapidly was when I realized that a songs rank wasn't based on "difficulty to play" so to speak, but rather difficulty to AAA. Since I realized, I've been working on progressing by playing songs of certain difficulties and trying to SDG higher and higher, rather than just mindlessly playing high level songs and getting 100-200 goods. Currently I'm at around low to mid 60s, I have a couple of 62 SDGs and I'm close to 63, so I'm currently practicing around that range.

In the past, I would have just grinded high 60/mid 70 songs thinking I was amazing, dropping 100-200 goods. Obviously a factor to improving is working on your speed and stamina, but a large part is being able to consistently hit patterns accurately, and you need this accurate speed, not just mindless spam speed.
