In all seriousness, I tried playing with them on for about 20 or 30 minutes. It was pretty difficult, and it sounded like I was going to crack my keyboard in half from how hard I was hitting the keys, haha. By the end of it, the batteries actually ended up rubbing off some skin on my index fingers, so now there's nice little raw spots. After I took them off, I noticed that it felt like I was barely even touching my keyboard even though I was still bottoming out. Got some decent scores afterward, too. I gotta find a better way to attach them so I don't hurt myself if I really wanna try this. XD

#gloves
dampening finger senses to make playing with them off feel incredibly light on the keys

that sentence was so grammatically hard to get right that i don't think i got it right even

learn to jackstream proficently at 150 bpm (or a bit more) and you should be able to do 300 bpm streams

i'm not that good but i feel that i'm improving by doing that

To be honest, I can already jackstream that fast.... it's just my accuracy blows .... And I'm already able to "semi" stream 300 BPM. Like when I play Jigsaw Puzzle, I can combo up to roughly 350 in each stream, but once I CB, i CB rush the rest of the stream lmao

I just need more consistency lol

Re: Feel it's time to ask other SM players...

if you're cb rushing that just means you can't correct yourself after a mistake. cb rushing or good rushing should never be a thing if you have control

**krunkykai22** · 11-10-2014, 07:52 PM

Re: Feel it's time to ask other SM players...

At 300 BPM, you're damn right it's a bad recovery.

That's why I even made this thread. When I do miss, my reading ability doesn't help me recover at ALL.

Now, on any given day, normally I can recover better than anything, but not on speed files past 280 BPM.

EDIT: Also, having control on that fast of BPM comes with not just finger control but reading control and correct eye placement with the arrows. That's where practicing and figuring out better ways to improve is where I'm trying to get to.

Re: Feel it's time to ask other SM players...

I used to play with gloves on when it was too cold here in my room, it made it a little harder to play. I realised that once i took them off, i was able to hit things a hell of a lot faster and it didn't even feel like i was hitting the keys at all despite bottoming out. Along with the opening and closing hands thing, i'm going to start playing with my gloves on again too and see what happens in say, a months time.
