Arcaea | Tips to PM Pragmatism BYD

It's finally here.
I finally managed to figure out what to say about this chart, this was easily the most difficult chart for me to give tips for, purely due to the hand formation nature of this chart. I spent the last two months knocking my head into a brick wall before finally getting an eureka moment.
This is summer, my upload schedule better get a huge upgrade.

you know someone is an absolute god at the game if they say that the prag byd drop is a 10.

[@chakonleung8675]

It should be 10. Even the arc is tricky in the first part, others are quite easy to deal with. This should have been 10 or 9+.

[@eemeli7093]

1:33 the noob tactic (by me) is tapping those notes with your ring finger

[@arcanumdelta]

thanks for the guide and congrats on the PM!

[@KPoWasTaken]

0:43 I actually find it easier to do the crosshand for some reason 2:10 I managed to learn this without slowing down a video at all, you just need to remember that there are crosshands in the streams and to look at the note types for indication Although this video didn't help me that much since I only need to watch a video of a PM once or twice to figure out the patterns without slowing down, I can imagine this'd be really helpful for others, keep doing what you do!

[@Maggy-5201]

Your video and comment seem to be very accurate and easy to understand. ...except that I'm not good at English, and my Pragmatism Resurrection is still locked

[@koika8742]

Good work, THK!

What the video shows: A person playing a song with skill and experience What I see: hand phasing through hand

[@ultrav5012]

NO WAY HE CALLED THE BUILD UP A 9+

[@grownguyen]

Grievous lady or aegleseeker pls

[@logarithmicaccelerator2723]

The guide is very good, only few things to note: At 1:33 ~ 1:42 it is easier to hold the arcs with index finger at bottom and middle finger at top At 1:44 ~ 1:48 it is easier to hold the arcs with thumb at bottom and MIDDLE finger at top. That's right, not index finger since middle finger is more flexible when collaborating with thumb After 1:48, the rest arc hold can be done by index at bottom and middle at top, it is easier that way

[@ultrav5012]

wow you're crazy

[@anthonydargan1459]

0:35 I do the same thing. I believe it helps your finger bounce a little one the first hit so the second hit u don’t have to put as much energy into lifting just tapping again

[@nikhilpandit7134]

Easier way to do 0:35, try it Use left hand for the first blue arc, then use right hand for the next three arcs (which will be red blue red in order) Repeat for mirrored version Edit : not repeat for the mirror I realized it's not exact same, you play normally until last red arc, which will be held by left hand

[@alloyfounder]

"remember qualia byd" instruction unclear, ive cut my finger off

[@iamanidiot6170]

Note for myself: At 0:30 I find it easier to use the pink arc on the wrong hand so that the cross hand is much easier.

[@Bedwars4v4]

didn't see that one coming

[@skiitec251]

0:52 idk why but when my fingers that is holding the arcs, they are malfunction xD like I can't do taps two times if there's an arcs. Instead, I will be tapping just one, not two.

[@knight_x_slayer]

0:34 i have been having this one huge problem trying to pm this chart, and its this part. Almost every time i try to do this part i miss one of the floor notes. Im hitting in the right space and the note just always misses. I dont know whats going on tbh.

Maybe aegleseeker next?

[@NainCycle586]

(how come this is only a 11.0) also nice stackmat, I'm also a fellow cuber that plays arcaea :v

[@Jalchen8745]

At 2:08 Phone users : ah shit this is nightmare

[@deceptivecompactmemoryseal610]

2:20 is most likely to be your problem in this BYD it's the hardest part to read comparing to most of parts

[@remixtheidiot5771]

Colorblind mode for colorblind people please. That part where you used (presumably) different colored glowing markers wasn't very helpful because disability is a prick. I suggest blue and yellow (same as arcaea's colorblind arcs) Thanks BTW!

[@ChepFrosty]

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I went digging through the internet and found this: if you have an iOS device, you can go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters and you can probably adjust it to help with your colourblindness. I haven’t looked into other devices such as Android, iMac, and PC, but they should have similar features. Hope this helped!

[@chakonleung8675]

If so, the overall difficulty sould be 10, even 9+

[@chakonleung8675]

Also, the two arcs hold in the middle should be difficulty in 6-7

[@StefV153]

What? This is one of Arcaea’s most tech-heavy charts, 11.0 is the absolute bottom you can rate this.

[@chakonleung8675]

@@StefV153 umm. The middle arc part is very simple. Others are at max 10-10+ in my opinion

[@StefV153]

@@chakonleung8675 I agree with you that the middle part is very easy, around 9+/10, however the rest of the song is either accuracy-heavy slow parts or very far crosshands/crosshand streams. This chart is a nightmare to sightread and learn, and that's where it gets its main difficulty from. Once you learn it, yeah, it could be considered 10.9 or 10.8, but thats the case with so many charts (e.g. CHAOS being 10.9 at sightread but 10.6/7 once you learn it)...

[@chakonleung8675]

@@StefV153 Nah. All 11s are fake in this song. So, I think it should be 10
