How to Get Better at Beat Saber With 9 Simple Tricks

What about expert?

[@redstone-kg3ne]

You progress faster than you would think

[@mhmpotatoes5373]

the challenge yourself one is definitely the most important for me. i was stuck on the expert mode version of a level for a good three days so i decided to practice the expert plus mode for a few hours. and after getting about 1/4 of the way through the expert plus i went back to the expert mode and to my surprise i beat it in 2 tries. i always have been trying to do a few stupidly hard songs just so my brain can rev up and feel those fast nots a bit.

[@joyerhot]

nice good job :)

[@cj_12451]

Nice job and if you could what song were you playing cus I’ve been stuck on expert plus on spin eternally

[@thesteaksaignant]

another trick that helped me is : no fail mode and only hitting one color. I found that practicing the right hand and left hand separately made it easier to learn some counter-intuitive mappings

[@kensmith5959]

3:01 Turning on No Fail was the one thing that helped me most. I was stuck on an expert song, failing about a third of the way in, so I decided to turn on No Fail and just have fun, not caring how many blocks I hit. To my surprise at the end I had 9 out of 10 good cuts (still would have failed in normal mode as many were in sequence). Every time after that I reduced my number of bad cuts on no fail mode by around 5 each time. The next day I could turn off no fail mode and a couple of days later I did a Full Combo! Now it's still less than a week and I'm disappointed if I DON'T get a Full Combo! So No Fail mode was the key, although I still prefer to keep the speed at 100% because it helps your timing.

You don't *have* to change your grips, I don't, but some find themselves much improved with using a grip.

I would recommend at least experimenting.

I can do expert songs but i mostly play on hard. I'm 41 years old and have a bad back and playing beatsaber really helps loosen me up. My personal goal are getting SS on hard on as many maps as i can. I will start trying some of the songs i find too easy on expert soon though.

[@kj3d812]

Nice to see another older player! I always wonder how many of us there are, considering most Beat Saber players tend to be in their teens or twenties.

[@scubareuben]

Another 40 year old here! Just got a Quest 2 for Christmas for the family and although I’ve tried BS on a friend’s unit a couple of times over the years, I’ve loved these last couple of weeks and am obsessed. Can’t see myself every getting to Expert+ (maybe Expert on a couple of tracks) but I’m also aiming for SS on as many Hard tracks I can do. It’s addictive!

[@malango255]

Yeah I've since mastered some expert songs and gotten the expert achievements. But I still most play song on hard. It's a bit to stressful on expert to enjoy the game for long periods.

[@dragos240alt]

I'm a non-gamer who is into hobbies such as software development and fountain pens/handwriting, I'm also overweight. So I'm pretty much the last person who would get into VR. I just got a Quest 2 and beat saber. I've never been able to get into most games, but this seems to be the one. I failed on easy when I got the headset and game last week. But thanks in part to your video, I've managed to pass a hard stage. I was absolutely thrilled when I passed. It just feels so good, not only to play, but also my body is thanking me for actually working up a sweat for once. Thank you for the tips, they've been very helpful.

[@maammorg2927]

the colours i tend to use are bright lime green and a similar purple to what he did, u tend to keep dark colours on the right and bright colours on the left. if the colours are very different and u trained your mind to know what is what it does make it a lot easier to not get them confused. the colours tip was guddd

[@Puglife2]

bonus tips turn off debris turn off note spawn effect turn on static lights and if your reaction times are lacking turn note spawn offset to close or closer so when you go back to default or stay the same you will notice i big difference in reaction time im currently at close for note spawn offset its best for me because right when the note spawns i can swing and it will hit also if the blocks are spawning to high then go in player settings and for the height dont stand strait or stand lower and click the meter stick then the blocks will spawn lower and if they spawn to low then stand as strait as you can or stand on something (MAKE SURE ITS STABLE AND YOU WONT FALL) then click the meter stick and if you play beat saber with other people on the same headset or your fine with the note spawn height then put it on automatic measurement or whatever its called well those are some bonus tips from me.

[@CrispyMuffin2]

i know for a fact, trying incredibly hard levels to adapt really helps. i came back to beat saber after almost a year and had pretty much no experience that got me further than Expert on some levels. when i got halfway through the campaign, i decided to take Devourer Of Gods out for a spin let me just say, my arms and shoulders absolutely hate me for making that decision, but after trying it a few hours a day for 2 days, i actally managed to get all te way to 5 minutes, 48 seconds into the song, about half way, and now many official levels feel actually doable now, even a good amount of the expert+ ones the fact that i improved so quickly could have something to do with year old muscle memory being dug up from the catacombs of my brain, but i know for sure, challenging yourself early on does work

[@lullabysweetheart6953]

3 and 9 have definitely helped me out the most

[@kahanumorales]

I've always associated warms colors with my right and cold colors with my left. Idk why, probably sinks? Beat Saber has it the opposite way by default. Switching the colors made a such a huge difference for me

[@freestyleskater]

If I'm struggling to keep up with the song, I turn it up slightly, if I need to learn the pattern better, I slow it down. I literally can't play with standard grip anymore, I'm so used to claw lol

the camelia ones are always mapped weird and they are a lot different from normal ost songs i kinda struggle with them aswell so ur not the only one

[@awesomeeater1148]

i use claw grip, single handedly made me go from hard to expert+, no joke it makes that much of a difference

[@alwaxxys6705]

i can second that changing grip helps A LOT, i used to hold as default but now i use the claw method, it’s easier to swing and gives better accuracy for sure!! so thanks sm

[@kensmith5959]

Yes I just changed to the claw grip a couple of days ago and I'm scoring 115 points on my cuts a lot more often. I've invented a slight variation though, I have wide wrist straps which allow me to hold the Rift controllers nearer my wrists so only the tips of my fingers are over the ring which is a lot more comfortable than the standard claw grip.

[@alwaxxys6705]

@@kensmith5959 where can i purchase wide wrist straps :)

[@kensmith5959]

​@@alwaxxys6705 Hi, I discovered that the regular design of controller straps which use a rubber loop can be converted to wrist straps. Normally the rubber loop goes round the controller button area or the controller ring but if you put the rubber loop over where the 2nd strap attaches to the base of the controller then both straps will go around your wrist to make a perfect wrist strap. Sorry, hard to explain without photos!

[@mosblu]

FREAKING SAVIOR!!!! I can’t express how happy I was when I heated that one level that I couldn’t beat and it’s all thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dustindefoore972]

Great video! I find it amusing that I naturally use my wrists; as, this seems very akin to playing the drums. The best advice in here is the play at higher speeds then slow it down to “normal”. As a tetris player that’s how I practice to get faster.

[@qarls4815]

One of the few videos out there with actually useful tips for beat saber. Great work!

[@Paris-qf2pi]

I managed to get from hard - expert+ in a week purely with using more wrist and challenging myself. Looking forward to trying out the other tips!

[@yruherelmao]

I tend to have the colors on default, because I play different songs from different ost packs and it helps quite a bit (and as you know the colors are different). It helps me because I can easily know which is my left and which is my right.. Something similar to that is just letting a friend pick out some random colors for you, or to just pick something random yourself without looking.

[@Jojo2]

...actually that cosmetic one makes a lot of sense. Sure red and blue are different colors. But white + dark color is an even bigger difference which helps distinguish the blocks. I'm gonna try this

[@pupuwo]

i dont want to get carpal tunnel at age 20 so no i will swing my arms XD

[@pupuwo]

@@zacjohnson452 it wos a joke. i still play the game but i play using my whole arm like u would playing tennis

[@ThBonbooYt]

for the grip i recommend holding the handle and not the top of the controller, this allows the top of the controller to swing at a faster speed making bigger and cleaner cuts, besides it still is light and i use it a lot, it's very useful because it makes you feel so much faster.

[@Tomatillo12]

Use a good grip and change z offset for the best of both worlds

I tried changing the grip after watching your video and the result was dramatic lol. I had been struggling on a song for a few days and passed in a round after changing the grip. Thanks man!

[@Nickxandro]

To be honest what most surprized me was after being stuck with the demo and playing it for about 2 years, I bought Beat Saber and on my first try beat a VOL1 song on hard. I did ok on expert and that was an honest shock for me. Still haven't played a level on easy yet, and I always play a new level on hard first.

[@NiceLoki]

I didn't realise that I could change where my sabers appeared so thanks for that and speeding up the tempo is a good tip. I was already slowing down to practice, but hadn't thought about speeding up. I think I was slowly realising that wrist flicks are faster than full arm swinging, Good to know I'm on the right track.

[@wafturecity]

i once tried a touhou map 3 times, then decided to do a different map i had been struggling with and i full combo'd it

I know the two things I'll have to try are changing my grip and practice using my wrist more, my arms can swing pretty fast but combining that with my wrist movement would significantly improve my game.

I'm all fine for some extra speed, currently I have hard mastered, transitioning to expert, but when songs become crazy to the point where you cant even get good swings in, I just dont enjoy it. I'm mainly using it for fitness, which needs good arm and body movement, not broken wrists lmao.

I'm transitioning to expert because I've pretty much got hard master but some expert songs just seen too hard. Do you have any tips for me?

[@lordazrielxiii7731]

@@Ladybug-ek3ti I guess try to use practice mode more on a song by song basis and practice the part where you just keep messing up. Once you figure out the best patters for your arms to swing, itll be easier. Sometimes i try it repeatedly on fast, then when you go back to normal, it seems really slow because you're used to fast. That'll help you figure the patterns out.

I'm not weany any means , so want to get the most for my money ? But was thinking of getting myself on too if the price is right. Even when the 3rd gen comes out I believe there is still a hell of a lot of life in the 2nd. It's just awesome technology from ground up. In my opinion ! 👌

I started improving really quickly when I started playing together with a friend of mine who's a lot better than me. He thinks a lot is too easy so I have to really push myself to keep up. We always turn on no fail and I just do the camellia expert and the occasional expert+ and I'm starting to get to a point where sometimes I haven't failed the level at the end even though I've only been playing for less than two months which I think is pretty good. It's also a great way to keep in touch with him.

Do these grips apply to PSVR? If you're looking for a better grip with the PSVR motion controller, try gripping it closer to the bottom. For some reason I naturally hold it really close to the bottom and it helps. Its in a position where i can push with my palm and fingers to flick it. Trust me when I say it works.
