Best I ever got vibrating was 2 goods -- was never ever able to AAA the megatrill with vibrating even when isolating it.

I know DP is nothing like CP. I never said it was. But rubix flat out getting 26 goods the first time was proof that if more accurate he could AAA it. Unless he is proven bs, then I don't see why it isn't possible now that he got 7-2-0-2. Seriously, he is proving theory wrong with a song being "impossible." Look at AJ AAA'ing Here We Go when no one else AAA;d it before. Look at Issac Passing Crunkstream ONI 1.2 rate? ON VIDEO AS WELL. EVEN I PASSED CRUNKSTREAM. Who knows!@? everyone has their own skill.

yay more arguing, gotta love this thread.

[Prime8]

Nice Novo Mundo AAA Magic! That was my 1st FMO AAA as well.

Take your canvas bags, take your canvas bags

I wish there was some kind of coaching/teaching system that would allow the average player with potential to not be left in the dark and being stuck into blindly repetitive playing that doesn't get you anywhere. I mean, when i see those kinds of semi-debates it's very clear that some people have a completely different understanding of the same game while others are left behind and i don't see many information/feedback about how to play efficiently on more complicated songs.

Just play the damn game long enough

Here are my tips:
1. Get a good keyboard
2. Get a good computer
3. Warm up/cool down before/after playing
4. Don't rage
5. Keep trying like you don't care, otherwise you will get mental blocks

I kinda wish Sprite didn't delete my posts here -- they were actually useful.

I played the game twice more than you and my current playing rate is higher than everyone on the site so, no there's more to it than just playing even if it is important. >:

Also, I do all of the above (no lag, decent laptop keys, there's nothing i can blame from the mechanics) the only problem is that under specific circumstances i cannot "solve" the patterns that i am facing from multiple reasons. I'm testing alternatives but having people with more serious experience about how to handle X situation would obviously be more constructive than my weird theories that doesn't work 90% of the time.

Also by example Rubix you mentionned pinky finger is rising while doing jacks. Is it the wrong way to handle them? How do you do Death Piano's jacks by example? Do you keep your elbows on the table when you place your hands to hit keys? etc.

[DossarLX ODI]

Your physical structure is different from other players - that is, your pinky may just go up because it does, not because you're forcing it to. I've seen videos of players with their ring finger bent while they play, it's flexible and involuntary but just happens.

Find what's most comfortable for you.

[leonid]

lol you guys should watch my vids my pinkies bend back and forth like crazy while I play

Rubix: AAA RATO?

[MrRubix]

Etylukah: It depends. While there's no objective right/wrong position for particular patterns, there are certainly different flavors. Some patterns call for a sort of wristjack while others can be done with fingers alone -- when you get even faster, you need to start throwing your forearms into it as a way to "brace" the vibration pressures from your hand back against/into something.

Everyone does patterns a little bit differently, largely because they are habits that were formed when they first began playing that have not been changed much. Some people are naturally comfortable by extending their pinkies or fanning their fingers or tilting their wrists or flapping their joints or placing their thumbs behind their forefingers or making a fist, etc.

For me, personally, I do the DP dual jacks by wristjacking, fingers facing forward (the direction of my wrists is also pointing at an upward incline so I have some additional "flap-power" from the snapping). For the single-lined jacks, I tilt my hands and use my middle fingers. For the trills, I also tilt my hands and try to "tickle" the keys if it's a one-handed trill, but otherwise the trill is slow enough to just hammer out normally.

[jimerax]

wtf DP SDG

[Plan_Bsk81127]

There are no scores on this page, so im posting one even if it isnt all that good

[MrRubix]

Regarding resting positions: I find that I need to elevate my hands for complex patterns. For simpler patterns, my MA is more guaranteed if I rest them on a table. Resting your hands grants additional stability at the expense of losing some speed/momentum from what you can achieve without support grounding everything.

[Etylukah]

Yeah i just got a skill boost recently just from doing that which is why i almost AAA'd AIM Anthem/Club recently..

I'm just curious of if you could come up with a list of things like that to consider while playing, like general playing tips and also in front of specific patterns.. I haven't seen many threads about this and i don't understand why it's not heavily a topic of discussion for all the players who are trying to get better. Mainly about interpretations of patterns, transitions, muscle memory, posture, or whatever concepts that exists that i'm not aware of..

Rubix: have any tips for doing DP in general? -__- Esp. the jacks in the beginning

Hit harder on the hands that start the 12th doubles in the start of the file. This makes sure you don't have to mash and get a boo everytime there's a hand. (It's worked for me all this time)

Single 12th jacks with 48th rolls in between: quickly lift hands up slightly and do a 24th jump flam.

16th quads and doubles after the slow part: Hit early.

Most importantly: STAY CALM. Your heart may beat fast but that's different from shaking violently when you're worried about missing.

^ This. I can't do any good unless I somehow get lucky through the 12th jacks. I'm not fast enough to keep up with jacks of that length - and it goes on for a while.
