A big thing that helped me and that I recommend is playing harder songs, what I mean is that if u are stuck on hard mode and can’t beat a song play the same song on expert. Don’t try to beat it, just get used to the speed of the song on expert. Then when you go back to hard mode it will seem like the song is slower. This worked for me and it may or may not work for you.

[@colin3ds1]

Do you think it would work better if you attempted the harder difficulty in "no fail" mode then went back to the original difficulty with no fail turned off

[@fundane2646]

I did this strategy but a bit different,if im trying to go from hard to expert and cant do expert i go to expert plus so expert feels slow

[@elcucuy1769]

I do that too. It helps a ton

[@Goofarious]

This is what I did

[@jimmykun2063]

I just played hard on 170%, going up 10% every time and it makes the original feel so slow when you've played it at almost 200%

"Type in Joe......" Me from across the room: "MAMA!" "...tastic." awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

[@kitch3876]

I'm very new to the game, and something that has helped me is trying different ways of holding my controllers. On faster songs, I actually end up either holding only the base of them or pressing down all of the triggers to have more control over moving them. It's nice that there's no button inputs ingame while doing a song so you can really just hold it however you feel most comfortable.

[@EmberNyxtical]

thats called using different grips

[@masta6726]

[@DarkDrakee]

One advice about the colors that is missing is: Chose colors that are distinguishable from each other, like complementary colors. That way you will be less confused at the beginning, because notes for the right saber will not stay on the right side and notes for the left saber will not stay on the left side.

[@iDeLaYeD_o]

We need this one boosted in the YT algorithm since I wasn't even looking for tip vids and this one didn't show up for me but someone I never heard of did and was giving ok tips (not wrong but not that important/helpful) and some bad or pointless for getting better. Here we have a good player who knows which things help you improve and doesn't say "No Fail is a good way to learn without punishment"

[@BttethesBeetherson]

"if youre BRAND NEW and trying to beat this stage on EXPERT" excuse me mr bandoot

[@Yoshi-uz2oe]

These are very good tips for beginners. The best thing that he didn’t mention, is just play the game. Don’t worry about score until you get a little better, and play the game for fun. You will improve with time and won’t get burnt out if your having fun.

[@Dragonrage1oo1]

haha 40 hours sessions go brrrr

[@shardgaming6784]

Practice, thin sabers, and grip helped me a LOT, but following along to beat saber videos or streams, tripled my note reading! I went from barely being able to read breezer on expert, to being able to read final boss chan on expert plus! (Still doesn't mean I can acually hit all the blocks tho :P)

[@bossbam]

What perfect timing! Not new to vr, but I just picked up beat saber on my index after a few months of having the index and was literally going through vids to try and find mods.

[@imzaq293]

yes listen to bandoot and rest if you feel any pain REST IMMEDIATELY my rist hurt rn and im resting and plus its never bad to have a brake ;))))) stay safe people hope u the best

[@premetamorphosis]

It also helps A LOT if you play drums. Prior drumming experience boosted the heck out of my performance, surprisingly

[@Dragonrage1oo1]

i can see how it would. you have timing and using your wrist at the same time. im not a drummer but i play other instroments and i can see how that actually would help quite a bit. i wonder if i would be a good drummer since i can pass expert+

For Quest and Quest 2 users, assuming you already have BMBF, you can join the Qosmetics discord server to download custom sabers, blocks, walls, and menu titles.

[@Tortismilk]

Hi bandoot I’m a big fan and been watching you for a long time and when I got my vr headset in the Christmas of 2020 I Immediately started beatsaber and started watching your videos more often

[@jerryoncrack6169]

Also something to help make you faster is pick songs you enjoy, and ones that have a clear beat in the background. Its easier to play a song you already know than a song that you have never heard before

[@rooter-sw1pn]

Another good way to find songs in your skill level is to go to score saber and find what star difficulty range you are in, and then filter for maps of only that star difficulty.

[@HellF1re24]

Stretching prior to activity lengthens the tissue and puts it in a weakened state thus making injury MORE likely. Stretching should be done after wards. Ballistic Stretching can be done before.

[@basil6686]

Can you make a video on tips for more skilled players? e.g. passing pineapple princess, etc.

[@dreadfulclaw7105]

The practice mode helped me so much before this video in order to practice a part I would just redo the song over and over and keep failing the same part

[@BigBoy42623]

One thing is to practice a level in faster speed, then once you're comfortable with that, switch to normal speed and it feels so much easier

[@scaldingjelly6882]

“Always stretch your wrists before playing and stop playing immediately if you feel pain” IVE BEEN PLAYING FOR YEAR AND YOURE SUPPOSED TO STOP WHEN I FEEL IMMENSE PAIN?!?!

[@Interpause]

you didnt talk about grip style though, changing my grip style gave me quite a large performance boost immediately. might also wanna try breathing techniques

[@Dragonrage1oo1]

my style is have them nearly fly out of hands and be holding them by the very end trying not to drop while testing my grip strength.

[@mac_quac]

quick tip: If your are struggling speed up the song. Then keep doing it till you feel comfortable. After that change the song back to normal speed and it should be easy peasy. (I usually only use this for getting a full combo on a song)

[@yourlilbrudder5766]

I have had beat saber for about 6 months and I can beat most songs on expert (besides camelia) and a lot on expert+ but it turns out the reason I can’t get better is due to my controllers and tracking. I recently sold my HP Reverb G2 (heavy controllers and low-volume but accurate tracking) and switched back to my Rift S, which has lighter controllers with wider but less accurate tracking and even though I noticed the refresh rate drop (80 vs 90hz) but it could get 1/3 past Reality Check because of the lighter controllers. I have an index ordered so hopefully the 120hz and perfect tracking will allow me to do it!

[@Boba19423O]

I say if patterns are difficult then slow it down but if the speed is difficult have the speed over normal and practice then lower it and it will seem much easier. Good way to warm up by starting faster

[@uumaterial]

I think looking at star rankings on ranked maps like osu is also a great way to gauge what skill level you are and how to improve. I've gone from not being able to complete 7 stars to being able to do 8 star and above levels by just playing slightly higher ranked songs each time.

[@feedmeagrape3375]

[@austinotto5392]

Me, 2 weeks into playing: almost can do expert+

[@user-fr2kp2ll7f]

I've had the game for three weeks now, and I can pass most vanilla songs on expert plus at about an a rank, one thing I've found helpful is playing a song thats too hard, on about 110 percent, so a very difficult song for me, then after a while of trying my best on no fail, go back to 100% and try it, I dont expect myself to pass the song, but the other songs I was struggling with seem easier afterwards and I progress quicker
