[@SayaKirasaka]

I'm so glad that you talk about high accuracy being important so early into this series. Every time I see someone unironically saying "combo based game lol" I just want to smash my head into the next wall...

[@clamati1436]

Saya77 this is actually a combo game, as you need combo to get points, accuracy is something that you use to compare a score if you have the same combo, they are both important, like I don't say that accuracy doesn't matter, but if you just check a score, combo is actually more important A combo game doesn't mean you only need combo

[@SayaKirasaka]

I can't really agree to that fully because there are still situations where the lower combo with higher acc is more impressive. Especially on certain maps which are hard to acc. And what I said about the combo based game I meant in terms of that these ppl dont care one bit about acc, although its an important factor in a RHYTHM game.

[@clamati1436]

Saya77 I personally never said that acc doesn't matter but the thing is if you want points you need combo first. I would never said to someone that combo > accuracy but in terms of points, combo > accuracy

@@serenecereal5167 you're never gonna get good at the game by only playing those maps you know. you need to be a master at the basics before you get to the pro level stuff. if you're not good at streaming, jumps, accuracy then playing those maps wont help you at all. it'll probably make you worse

[@adumbledoor394]

I watched this video about 7 months ago for the first time. And I improved rapidly by applying the rules/tips you mention in the video. In the last 3-4 months, though, I started to limit myself to AR9+ on 4-5star maps. I eventually realized that I have a very similar thing going on, as you mentioned in connection with DT. Everything that is below AR9 seems extremely difficult, compared to when I was playing a wider variety of AR's. On top of that, my performance at AR9+ is also not really great. Essentially I struggle to slow down and be patient enough. I am glad that your video exists because I remembered and now rewatched it to get reminded about the importance of patience and accuracy. Now I play on a slightly lower difficulty and expose myself to more AR's, and I can already feel how I start to be more patient and accurate. Thanks for the video.

[@OddZodd]

I've gone through so much in this game, from being mad that I couldn't beat something, to being too confident in my skills, becoming crap, and finally just playing and enjoying the game. All the things you've said not to do, I've done at some point in the 100+ hours I've put into this game... I wish I didn't do them, but at the same time, it's nessesary to fail, to get better.

[@Gornius]

Have played Hidden exclusively for like 10 months (started using it like after 2 months of playing osu!). Learning how to read without it was like relearning all the patterns.

[@neillasrado9971]

Im starting to love this series more and more

[@РођакНенад]

Watching this cuz I spent half of my 500 hours playing tech maps and maps +1.5* out of my comfort zone. Now I'm better than anyone else at my skill range (except the dude who mapped aleph 0,he's a beast) at sight-reading any map(especially tech) but can't FC cross screen jumps after a lot of retries like other players at my rank. I Started playing like a normal person a few weeks ago and I'm noticing massive improvement compared to when I was trying too hard. Even though I mostly played 0.5-1* out of my comfort zone and trying to FC 5* maps my whole skillset improved from deathstreaming(I practised long stream maps a lot tho) to spaced low BPM streams and very fast,close range jumps that require alternating. My personal tip: if you push yourself too hard,like I did, just to pass uta/highscore/tbb ,or whatever, you'll improve a lot slower later on, but if you just farm pp on easy maps you'll hit a skill wall you can't overcome because of your habits and way of playing.Just play the game in all its beauty and play all kinds of maps to have a balanced skillset. Always remember: a balanced diet is a healthy diet.

[@РођакНенад]

@Odynous bruh, I wrote "+1.5*" out of my comfort zone and the "+" signifies that the maps I was playing were my comfort zone(5.5-6*)+1.5*=7-7.5 stars. Did you even read past the first few sentences?

[@christianjohnson8442]

I thought genuinely thought this was a Pishifat video

[@Unkn4wN_TM]

One thing that people seem to not realise about "play more" is that it doesn't mean increase the amount of hours or days you play. Play more means continue playing If your friend says "I ate but i'm still hungry", and you say "eat more", it doesn't mean eat longer periods of time a day, it literally just means continue eating. So when someone says play more to you they mean that in order to improve you need to continue what you're doing and playing more maps, because there's no such thing as instant improvement. You have to play more in order to improve

[@neillasrado9971]

I wish I had found videos like this when I first started.

[@twozi]

Your advice actually matches my way of advancing in the game. •I also try levels a bit harder than my comfort level •I use HR to reach my AR comfort zone (AR7) •I learned the "triple tap on same spot" and nearly FCed quaver (Sotarks) with HT on a 3.5ish map making it 3.01.

[@vej5010]

Triple tap on samd spot? You mean triples?

[@shark20069]

still play?

[@rainrunya]

the only reason i dislike HR is the vertical flip, because it messes with muscle memory which leads to really infuriating misreads, misaims and fails. if the vertical flip was removed, i'd enjoy HR so much more and i'm sure other people would as well

you will train your brain on the wrong thing you usually want easy map high acc fc, instead of hard map low acc pass. you leave your accuracy aspect out of it completely because you're focusing more on not missing instead of hitting accurately.

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

Lemme add. After playing a lot of different maps, try going back to those you played but had bad accuracy on, and improve it. I like to do that by grouping by rank achieved and then playing my B and C ranked maps. Many times I've managed to outright fc maps I previously had a B at, and it's generally improved my accuracy.

[@sonatal]

Damn I always play with HD though.....

[@sonatal]

I can read without it better but it's fun. And plus, I can only read HR with HD. I can't react properly without it.

[@ad3z10]

@WonderLust It means that you are screwed if you ever want to take part in a tournament if that happens to interest you. If you only care about ranking up then the main challenge is simply patterns that are hard to read with HD such as spaced streams.

[@ayame69]

i'm a hardrock only player from 180k, now 135k just hit 2k pp today, if you're getting bored of hr play some dt, free pp, or just keep practicing hr and perfect your aim for crazy pp, accuracy doesn't matter as much until you start getting into higher maps than 4.5 as 4.5 will be easy to get better acc on once you get really used to it edit: if you really wanna get better at acc, always try to focus on listening to the beat, but most importantly applying what you hear to your fingers and actually tapping it instead of tapping what you see on the screen, might not seem different at the start but keep trying it, it'll get better as you P L A Y M O R E

I have 490+ play hours and multiple 5 star fc's (96-99% acc) Am I sticking too much in my comfort zone or should I keep at it (granted I'm still intimidated by 6 stars and I feel too inconsistent playing them)

[@resoaa]

i think it'd be good for you if you try and play both kind of aspects separately; for a few hours you try to get good scores on 6* maps (probably the best way to do this is to just try every 6* map at least once, maybe twice, in order to get consistency on them) and the next day you try to fc more 5* maps. It all comes down to what you want to play though, maybe you end up playing 6*+ for a whole week, same applies vice versa of course.

[@doinkson]

awesome video keep it up :D

[@demise.8748]

Could you do a video on getting faster (streaming and tapping) without getting injured. Because when i try to get faster i either dont train hard enough and dont improve at all or i train to hard and i take ages to recover. Maybe i just try getting faster the completely wrong way. Anyway a video on that would be really helpful.

The thing is I can complete 4 star maps no problem but my acc is just artrocious being just above 92% while when I played 3 star maps it was 97 almost 98% should I go back to 3 star maps or keep playing 4 stars till I improve my accuracy?
