You're both reading properly, looking directly at the receptors is something you'd do if you're trying to read an incredibly slow scroll speed. Timing comes with playing more, it seems like you're just mind-blocked Krunky, try taking a break and get back at it on Monday/Tuesday or something lol

You don't look directly at the receptors, just close to it (just below it) - and a change of scrolling speed may help as well. But sometimes that helps if you really want to investigate why you get random goods. What you see is what you're hitting. If you look in the middle of the screen all the time, then "what you see is what you might be hitting". That sort of spacial difference can reduce interpretive accuracy, and when timing comes down to a matter of frames, that can make a difference.

edit: sometimes I might direct my eyes more left or right of the screen depending on where the arrow patterns go. If there are a lot of up and right arrows for instance, I'll be observing that side of the screen more closely for the time being.

All in all, that sort of active observation might help you, krunky.

Dude, you've got loads of time, just try and reduce the amount of boos you've and you'll probably reduce goods as well - keep playing throughout the week =3

Believe!

You got this =3

This is a good snippet imo. I find focusing on strictly one side during a trouble pattern (even ignoring the side I have a block on) helps me overcome that block. Unfortunately it doesn't help with one hand trills (goddamn Shotgun Surgery rip) but it's helped me on a number of files.

lol yeah it sure seems that way Krunky.
But yeah, i might try looking at the middle like usual for the whole file minus the trill section and try to look a bit closer to the receptors so i can see exactly what im hitting better. I swear, im O.K. at trills but if i dont get lucky i dump 3-4 goods on just one of them haha

I've officially figured out what causes me to hate this file so much.

Play D6s Round Song, and when you get to the 1040-1059 combo mark, listen intently to the song and also follow the steps... it goes from stepping the melody to stepping the background drums. That right there, no matter how many times I attempt this song, throws my mind into a sh*tstorm LOL

Also, Hi19, I don't hate the chart lol it's stepped pretty damn good imho.

LOL I do that all the time in my files, I usually step melody with drums layered in then only the drums during fills (this describes like, 99% of my S.S.H. files for example)
But in songs like Capoeira if the melody is complicated enough I don't layer the drums, so it can be jarring going from only melody to only drums during the fills.
