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

[Mahou]

Raising receptors helped my MA. Lowering them helped my speed.

[Xx{Fallen}xX]

Use distant/hallway if you want to be able to read fast streams easier.

[krunkykai22]

I already use Distant.

As i stated before:

Speed Mod = 850
Distant
Receptors = -180 or -144 whichever I feel like playing with
Noteskin = Delta V2

[.v.]

I have to ask, how the hell do you use the editor to train?

Considering i've gone into player options and made it how i'd usually play, it just feel weird. There has to be something i'm missing right?

I'm kind of wondering the same thing....

Do you mean use the editor as persay, an isolation tool?

[Ziemniax]

I think they mean that you pick a song containing patterns/stuff you cannot do, open it in editor, and play the hard part over and over until you get it right.

I'm thinking of doing similar things, it's my 3 month of playing spread and I'm already at my limit.

[Wayward Vagabond]

use the editor as in make your own files to train what you think you need work on.

[Wayward Vagabond]

if you cant for the life of you do 13431 patterns at 234 bpm you can go into the editor and make 13431 patterns at 234 bpm

[kmay]

when i want to read a song that is too fast for me... i do this weird thing were i focus like just behind the notes and it makes them appear to be moving much much slower... idk i think i have decent speed for someone of my skill set.

[Jousway]

just force yourself playing files way too hard for you till you get carpal tunnel and are force to quit

[krunkykai22]

Alright, I get it. If I have to use the editor I will.

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

[mr_candy]

Haha keep us updated, might end up a new thing training method for us all

[YoshL]

#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

[Leo137]

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
