Default What NPS are you comfortable hitting?

Hi guys, I just want to take a quick survey for reasons unknown. I'm curious as to what NPS you are comfortable hitting on average; as in fc comfortably up to 500 combos (exluding wristjack/vibrowalls)

For reference (updated thanks to kyzentun mentioning an error i've made!):
6nps=60bpm jumpstream with a jump on every 8th note, or 24ths at 60bpm(90bpm 16ths)
12nps=120bpm jumpstream with a jump on every 8th note, or 24ths at 120bpm(180bpm 16ths)
18nps=180bpm jumpstream with a jump on every 8th note, or 24ths at 180bpm(270bpm 16ths)
24nps=240bpm jumpstream with a jump on every 8th note, or 24ths at 240bpm(360bpm 16ths)
27nps=270bpm jumpstream with a jump on every 8th note, or 24ths at 270bpm(405bpm 16ths)

If you could answer the question straight away in the following format:
Quote:
20-22NPS - D6

and then you can explain down here if you'd like about any niches like being able to hit faster bursts, speed/stamina. Thank you!
For me it would be
20-22NPS - D6
I can hit Jumpstream with a jump on every 8th with occasional hands thrown in at 200-230 bpm comfortably. And I can fc 280 bpm streams with relative ease.

Probably... 12-13 NPS - D3/D4

Can jack/vibrate decently well on right hand though.

I'm not sure how to judge this since I'm not sure what the current nps is while playing.

10-12NPS -D2/D3

Based solely on Vertex Beta and being able to combo that stream on and off. Knocked down a few points because it's mostly off.

18-20 NPS - D6

This is just an estimate based on a few minutes of looking at some files around 180 bpm. Speed has never been much my thing.

20-22 nps - high/mid d5 (SM)
I can do 180-190 js with 8th jumps pretty easily, i'd say my strength is fast but light js (240-250 BPM) I can't hit steams for shit though, 270s pretty much my limit lmao.

26 is a well rounded number for my comfort zone; but the tricky thing is what defines being comfortable.

26 is comfortable to me because I can steadily perform that and I rely on consistency. After that, it gets to the point where I can read and perform up to 29, but I WILL be having frequent slips or my stamina burns off when a higher than 26 NPS section arises.

Anything over 30 is brutal and unreliable for me at this current stage.

EDIT: Serious Shit caps at 30 in what seems to be Four or more times, and I currently have 11-0-3-1 on that and it is nearly only because my stamina burned at the end. The section after the momentary break (Dense JS) is AAA'able.

lmao wait what

Anyways, I'm not sure what I max out on exactly for spread. JS-wise for 500 notes, probably 280-300 BPM, depending on the density. Stream-wise, 370-380 I think.
Index, I max out at around 310-315 BPM for comboing. I've been trying to get more comfortable with 325 but my left finger doesn't like to cooperate, haha.

It can vary between 12-13 nps depending on the pattern.

My options are very limited on anything above 170bpm jumpstream.

280 bpm stream is probably at the top of my comfort zone. I should do some more testing on this.

But im really blocked with JS's that has jumps every 8th note. i find them quite anyoing, can't focus on the rhythm. I can even handle handstreams better i think which is funny

22NPS - D6

For getting up to 500 combo every single time I feel pretty confident in 210-220bpm alternating 8th JS, maxing probably just over 22NPS. For reference I crush Etude for the Sinners JS, which is 200bpm, 20NPS.
Around 230-240bpm I can get 500 combos, sometimes even whole FC files with alternating 8th JS at that speed, but not reliably.
I'm definitely worse at stream than JS. I don't even think I can reliably always do 300bpm, so I'd put my max around 21NPS for streams, even lower if there are anchor/runningman/trill stuff to trip me up.


I have awful stamina. I'm glad you specified 500 combo because if you said 5000 my answer would be like, Quasar speed.
