[@ozzymcnugget440]

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

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.

One thing that helps me is creating custom color schemes. For one I find it super fun to play around with blocks and lights colors but I also find schemes that are easier on my eyes and make more sense to my brain. I put the brigher/lighter/stronger color on my dominant hand; which is one thing that's a big change for me because the default red and blue has the red on the left hand and for me that is a stronger color than blue.

[@pugzil1a]

I also recommend speeding up a song to make it easier when you slow it down

[@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.

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.
