    Like anything you approach in life, perfection requires practice.

      newton was right about gravity, its much easier to go down than it is to go up. the path of least resistence, like all things in life everything gets easier when you sell your soul to it

                  non sarcastically, this is actually good advice

                  not because of anything other than they teach pretty much the most vital skills for high level play though from as far as I can tell, just make sure to find some files that dabble in bursts to supplement them

                    A game is a game and a person is a person, there's nothing we can do to change that. Contemplate that music has a mind of its own... then give up.

                        I recommend checking out this useful beginner's guide posted by Etienne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=jz-b7qo9nyo).

                        A lot of people don't like the idea of playing things that require you to 'mash'. However, in my experience, once you get to a certain level of play (high D5 / D6), I have found that systematic mashing on extremely hard stamina files (with the goal of dropping 0 misses) helps build the physical strength required to actually hit insane streams. Once that physical strength is in place, it becomes easier to gradually learn how to read really dense patterns.

                            I like this advice and it goes against the advice everyone else is giving me, but i find that i improve a lot faster when i play like this

                              Maybe try tapping a long to a video or replay so that you feel like you are hitting things perfectly just to build up you're stamina and then play things for real after you have warmed up??

                              It's weird how invincible you can feel when you play along with some thing and the things that would stress you out like missing or bad accuracy aren't there to mess you up.

                                set goals on songs that are actually relevant files and challenge specific skillsets and work towards them by playing similar files or by downrating them and slowly working up to the rate your goal is



                                heres a list of decent files that are D5, theres tabs at the bottom.. id suggest just skipping D4 and downrating D5 files, goals for D5 shit would be like

                                jacks - flower dance 1.5 in Mina Megapack 4
                                jumpstrem - Grief and Malice 1.0 in Fullerene Shift
                                speed/streams - Hospital 1.0 in Skwid 3
                                chordjacks - KISS CANDY FLAVOR 1.0 in Yolomania 2
                                handstrem - Bird Spirit - Awakening of Light- 1.1 in FFR Community Pack 4
                                stamina - idk, maybe Cyber Induction 1.0 in nuclear blast 4

                                or dont do that and just play worthless overrated long jack files that train nothing, either way probably works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
