How to get BETTER ACCURACY and HIGHER SCORES in Beat Saber! | Tips from a Pro

[@xknight9943]

Just wanted to say how nice it is to see an actual pro give these tips, rather than someone that can hardly ss songs on e+ that doesn’t even have their game modded that would give bad tips like “swing harder.”

swing harder was going to be my next tip 😭

why am I watching this, I literally started playing this game yesterday, lol

[@shani1328]

It's never too early to start learning :)

[@yruherelmao]

I haven't played the game in almost a year because of technical difficulties and now that I haven't played in such a long time I have to kind of re-teach myself to get used to playing beat saber. It was already hard for me to get good accuracy because I was a relatively new player (like 2-3 months of experience) so now it's VERY bad. I hope this video helps ^^

[@realtimestatic]

I often play modded songs with friends in a voice call and in fast Songs i absolutely smoke them but in slow Slsongs i keep losing since i oftenonly get like 107 points and don't have the accuracy for the rest. I hope thanks to this video I'll be able to beat them there too

[@shani1328]

Get those 115s 😈

[@nitromathias42]

Even though im a top 500 - top 1k player i still think my acc is bad so these tips help thanks, good video

[@bloom4861]

Hi! I’m wondering how to hit those notes that are crammed together, like one after the other. They’re on maps like immortal (expert), country rounds (expert), and I think ghost (hard) even. Anyways, I struggle with them because they’re so fast that I can’t hit it in the right direction if it makes sense? Do you know a way to hit them without missing much?

[@shani1328]

Are you talking about streams? 9:03 into this vid is an example of a stream? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHKco4mwn5Wlla8

[@FivetyYT]

Somebody may have already said this but arcs were the ones that were originally called sliders, then they became known as arcs when chains were made

[@shani1328]

Yea arcs were sliders and the sliders were burst sliders

[@FivetyYT]

@@shani1328 oh yeah, forgot they were called bust sliders and sliders

I still missed on cold weather clearly not truthful (but fr good vid)

[@yaboijeff4839]

This is a fantastic video that really gets into the small things about accuracy, but I feel like the method of improving acc is kind of left out. For me, my acc was terrible up until I started to play accuracy maps. I played those until I could 96 them, then I went to slightly harder maps until I could 96 them and etc. That's just my way of how I improved my acc, and it might not be the same for everyone. These things are very important with acc, but the fundamentals of swinging and playing are arguably more important.

[@shani1328]

Thanks :) and yea lots of people kind of find their own way to train and usually playing acc maps is the best for learning acc lol. Speed maps are quite different though as without technique most of ur acc in slow maps will not transfer to fast ones.

[@ciubciubpl]

thank you ,very nice tips :D

[@shani1328]

np :)

[@redx6923]

A difficult part about accuracy for me is bottom row up hit notes, I don’t understand how to hit them over 100, maybe cause of height or grip but the height would make me reach to high which effects my stamina too much

[@shani1328]

The way to acc those is by swinging diagonally through the center of the note. I would recommend watching the time dependency video In the description if u want to go more indepth.

[@Peter-fq4ur]

@@shani1328 I watched the time dependency vid but honesty not getting it. Would you mind explaining it a bit in your words?

[@shani1328]

@@Peter-fq4ur If you swing straight on, then it doesn't matter if you hit the block close or far to you as you will get the same amount of points. If you swing on an angle you have to wait until you saber is in the right position to get full points as depending on when you hit the note your saber will slice a different part of the note.

[@Peter-fq4ur]

@@shani1328 thanks I see - so what is your recommendation on such time dependency situation? Is it a general recommendation to make as many non time dependent cuts so that the accuracy would be boosted ( hence a higher score)? In my experience, some note combo, especially in expert+ lvl, doesn’t allow you the time to position your arms to the perfect non time dependent position. Is that a issue for you as well?

[@shani1328]

@@Peter-fq4ur yea usually you just try to get swings that are as least dependant on timing as possible though of course the harder the map the harder it will be to do, to be honest it doesnt matter to much but it does help with consistency when you try playing acc maps.

[@djkaeh5673]

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the wording for the first part when it comes to cut angle. Can someone dumb it down for me?

[@shani1328]

Swing angle is how large your swing is. By swinging more than 100 degrees before the note you get the max amount of points 70. By following through and swinging another 60 degrees after the note you get the other 30 points.

[@Nothingnothingt]

is it better to have your saber settings closer or further away from you? Further away makes it so you can reach further, and the closer makes you have less wiggle.

[@shani1328]

your saber settings should ideally have the bottom of the saber handle where the pivot point is. You can then decide to either swing early to reach further or swing later for less wiggle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGW5YaWDicefiJo This is the video I used to help me make my controller settings.

[@NanoEvolutionYT]

I have a question, why in my beat saber i dont see my acurracy? Like the % and SS,S,etc... I only see my score and not that

on the left where the modifers are, at the top change tabs and find and turn on the Advanced HUD setting.

Ayo I got this video in my reccomendation and I also found out i got your card on the beat saber discord bot

Nice lol, im yet to get myself :(

[@Menopocalypse]

I have trouble with hitting all of the links in a slider, and also those really wide double/triple block notes (gaps between the blocks.) I can't tell if I should just be following through faster or (for sliders) slower. Any tips? I've come a long way but these continue to trip me up.

[@shani1328]

The double and triple notes are called stacks, you should swing at the same speed but with a larger degree swing. If I'm being honest the links on the new sliders are actually quite hard to read as I kinda had the same issue to start off. Mainly I just swing them faster than normal for that song speed.

[@Menopocalypse]

Ah, stacks. Now I know the name of the blocks I hate :) I'll keep working on it, thanks!

[@shani1328]

@@Menopocalypse just extra info, the notes that are like the 3 block stack but have a missing note in the middle are called windows.

[@Menopocalypse]

Ah, so THOSE are what I hate the most!

[@kicsiduda]

Seeing most of the pro gameplays on youtube, i have to ask: Will the endgame just mess up my wrists? I'd rather move my whole arm and not just rotate and flinch my wrists around.

[@shani1328]

Ima be completely real here, If you play like 2+ hours a day and overswing a lot and you play faster Maps, you will probably have some wrist pain after a few months. There are ways to mitigate this, though, like stretching, strengthening your forearm muscles, etc. Not overswing is what helped me the most since I used to swing way more than I needed to. If you play casually like once a week for an hour playing random maps for fun, I doubt you'd ever get any wrist pain.

[@melonz525]

im struggling to acc bottom row up notes. i dont understand how people hit them over 100 points

[@shani1328]

if your getting less than 100 points your swing angle is too small.

[@Chrisyisapro]

0:50 can you explain this a little differently i don't get it (i doubt you will respond this video is older then me frfr)

[@shani1328]

imaging a 3D cube, when you hit the note it draws a line through the cube. depending on how close that line is to the center of the cube it is, the more points youll get. so if the line is almost right though the center then you might get 114 total points, 70 preswing, 30 post swing, 14 bonus (accuracy).

[@2gen_alharic]

So basically for Hilton’s should I move my z coordinates for the controller negative or posotive

[@shani1328]

whats hilton's?

[@2gen_alharic]

@@shani1328 hilting

[@shani1328]

@@2gen_alharic well tbh to you dont need to change Z offset to hilt though for good controller settings you want the bottom of the controller to be the point of rotation. Hilting is just basically hitting the note slightly later so its closer to the hilt of the saber so you dont need to worry about saber wobble.

[@navi4807]

I want to know your quest 2 offset,can you tell me,thinks guy!

I don't use quest 2, I used to use quest 1 (which use different offsets than quest 2) and I currently use the valve index.

But how do u get straight swings?💀

[@shani1328]

I got straight swings by setting up my controller settings for how I hold my controller. and also calm swings help keep the sabers less wobbly and straighter.
