Practice makes perfect. I couldn't AAA until after about 7 months since I started, and now I could AAA a variety of songs

Re: Im tired of sucking

I played 28,000 games and i don't see the arrows too....i think its a physiological problem that can't be helped.....try 1x i'm better at catching arrows in 1x. But forget the PA.

1.5x is what i use since i have a problem with reading when there is so many clustered together like in 1.0. But my main problem isn't reading. Im one-handed so i have just a big problem hitting arrows and with my wrist/middle finger just completely locking up temporarily :S. It kinda sucks since it keeps me from fcing some songs i could if i had the endurance.

vDon't look at notes individually, see a stream pattern as groups of notes, for example, if I see a (<, v, <, v) pattern, my fingers know what to do for the next beat. Practice and time will make you better at recognizing (reading as we say).

Ive started doing that more just recently and ive improved quite a bit on some stretches which i would of thought impossible


and also, can someone explain screencut?

Practice.

Re: Im tired of sucking

if there are too many notes on the screen, id screencut, seeing thats how i play anyways, or as shown above screen cut with a speed mod, and practice is pretty much essential in this game

Re: Im tired of sucking

Look at it this way:
I've been here for ~2.5 years
I have 1 AAA that I got ~6 months ago
I have ~11 tier points
I play at 1.5x

Increasing speed improves your PA and makes songs easier to read. Just make sure your reaction time can deal with the speed.

Re: Im tired of sucking

i just looked at your profile youve only played 850 games, give yourself a break and keep practicing.

Re: Im tired of sucking

I've been here since October, I play two handed at 1.50 speed and I play standards, tricky, and sometimes difficult songs. My problem is that I can't see all the arrows coming, I cant scan them fast enough to know which arrow to hit. Any suggestion... PLEASE! And don't mock me or be an a-hole, I've seen enough of that **** from ppl already.

Try playing some SM. Trust me-- I played SM for about a week, and I noticed a HUGE skill jump... I could read jumpstreams so much better.

Re: Im tired of sucking

There are too main things you can try. Assuming your trouble is with too many arrows on the screen making it too hard to read... (listed in order of importance)

Practice songs you can actually read, and don't be impatient to move on to the harder songs. If you play the harder songs too early, you won't get better, you will just get more frustrated. When seeing too many arrows on the screen, generally people are like "OMG... too many arrows, I'm overwhelmed!!!!" instead of trying to read arrows and patterns of arrows. However, when you're practicing something that you're okay on, you're not as overwhelmed so you can focus on learning note patterns so you can read more notes faster.

Change your speed mod to a higher value. Or screencut. Whichever you choose, adjust it slowly, so it won't throw you off. A higher speed mod will make it so that there are less arrows on the screen at one time. The most popular values are 1.50x and 1.75x.
