I feel like my brain just rotated in my head. I have always just slowed the song down in practice mode and slowly sped it up as i completed the song. I have never thought to actually speed the song up, but it makes alot of sense. When you speed the song up and practice at that speed for awhile, once you put the speed back to normal it will feel like its actually slow.

[@FingetButtJelly]

I’ve recently beaten ov sacrament (I know I’m late to the trend,) but if your hands are too small for the claw grip, like mine and you play on quest, because I don’t know if this grip works on other headsets as well, put your pointer on the bottom trigger of the controller and put your middle, ring, and pinky finger underneath eachother, put your thumb where ever it’s comfortable, if acc or speed is hard then put your thumb on top of your pointer and middle. Also hold the controller sideways. And for speed maps if your hands are slipping move your thumb up to where the joystick is and then put it right on the little white rim on the bottom and move it till it’s comfortable and there you go. Settings are all default but I think it’s Z position I put at 10. Change the settings how you want though. If your hands still slip after you move your thumb up, then keep a micro finer cloth on you and if you get sweaty pause the song. Then lightly (don’t like yank it cause it’ll probably break but unlikely) grab the little circle on the top of the controller. And if you have a carpet then gently wipe the sweat of on the carpet, make sure your wiping the side with the battery on the carpet, if you don’t have a carpet to use or are scared of wrecking the controller. Then use a micro fiver cloth to wipe it. Wipe the sides with micro fibre, and then wipe the spot where your pointer fingers and stuff were.

[@shani1328]

the quest 1 controllers are really small as is, im sure its just feels weird to hold it as claw.

[@dirtyfloormarshmellow]

Some may find this weird but the way that I found out to help me swing really fast is to do the claw grip but with 3 fingers now I know this may not make a lot of sense but trust me you'll be able to swing faster (Atleast I hope cause it worked for me)

[@shani1328]

yea, everything works, as long as the grip your using feels stable and comfortable to use it should be good.

My question is how would I be able to move the sabers faster. Like I cannot physically move them fast enough to hit some things, and that’s on harder expert levels much less the kinda stuff flying around the background footage of the video

[@shani1328]

you would just need to play more, fast beat saber maps can be passed with surprisingly slow swings, the more you play the better you can read the notes which will make the faster stuff feel easier, try playing easier levels that you can pass on 110% speed or so to help u read faster stuff.

[@jerbear0348]

lowering the player height is such a cheat!! i have 130 hours in the game and always left it on auto, songs that i couldn't do because it was too physically taxing or songs that would kill me are now much more doable, if only i had known that you could do this sooner...

[@shani1328]

All pro players will change height depending on the map, slower maps a normal height is good because it's easy to get good accuracy, faster maps a slightly lower height is nice so we can full swing.

I have high metabolism and I’m 16, 5 foot 6 and 90 lbs. I legitimately cannot physically move fast enough. Also, I feel like from expert to expert plus, expert plus places notes that are farther than my armspan. I miss notes that I would otherwise hit on expert. I can handle the speed, but they place the notes much farther than my tiny body can reach

[@shani1328]

using more wrist can help get to those side notes quickly, remember that the sabers are really long so with practice and a bit more wrist you can easily get those outer lane notes.

long staircase strings as in the updown pattern in freedom dive? if so its mainly just timing, having a closer jump distance can help with timing, you can also try listening to the song and try swinging more aligned with the beat to keep ontime.

I use the Index controllers and i have no idea how the f you are moving your hands so fast, i'm literally not capable of moving my hands this fast.

[@shani1328]

Sorry for a late reply, I've been playing beat saber casually on and off for the last few months and have only been using the valve index. It is a lot harder to do faster stuff with the index controllers than the quest one controllers but it is still possible to do the same things. The main thing you need to do is just put a lot a of mussle into wrist movements AND in the steam VR settings go to video, per application video settings, and then set additional prediction to what you want. I use 120hz so I have 2 ticks (16.66ms of prediction) this basically lets me swing more than I actually am in real life slightly. My index settings are POS X: -1 Y: -4 Z: 4.5 ROT X: 32 (change this to what makes you feel most comfy) Y: -4 Z: 0

[@shani1328]

I assume when your left hand vibrates its the wrist, if so try using a bit more arm on your left hand. I reckon it'll improve with time but one thing that might help is trying to swing as calmly as possible if that makes sense. Like being less tense while swinging.

[@shani1328]

@@sykosdt2673 for now I don't think you should worry about full swinging, just trying to combo the jumps. If by cant control the speed you mean like losing timing, you can try to do the jumps at a slower speed (maybe like 75%) until you can fully combo it and work your way up 5% at a time to help understand the timing. Also don't worry about asking to many questions.

[@sykosdt2673]

Tinnitus is a very poorly mapped map with miss maps (notes off beat) which makes it super hard to time.

To slow down replays double click left trigger or press c while beatsaber is in focus then look top left of the window.

[@Dzhalekk]

I only didn't understand - what's NJS in this mod that you recommend?

[@shani1328]

the NJS mod has two main sliders, one called NJS and one is called NJD. NJS is note jump speed, this is how fast the notes move towards you, if you use NJS it will disable score submission though so I wouldnt recommend touching that. NJD is note jump distance, this is how far away the notes spawn from you, this does NOT disable score submission which means you can mess around with this setting and still submit scores. The higher the NJD (note jump distance), the longer you get to see the note before it hits you.

I was looking for a Workout plan or something

[@shani1328]

Sorry 😭

[@marioglitchy64_original]

@@shani1328 while these tips are useful, I already figured them out myself while playing and other people just say that I should just play more. Honestly I am just out of ideas what to do and I am stuck at 9 notes per second, I physically cant go any further and I dont seem to improve at all. I have been stuck at 9 notes per second for 5 months and I am loosing intrest in Beat Saber

[@shani1328]

@@marioglitchy64_original If im being completely honest its most likely just ur reading ability to / reaction from seeing a note to being able to understand where and what direction it is etc. Tbh playing the game more is basically the best thing to do but also remember beat saber has more to it than just speed, getting good acc on mid speed and acc is really fun for lots of people.

[@marioglitchy64_original]

@@shani1328 I am certain that it is not my note reading ability. I understand why you might think that but I guess I didn't really clarify my situation. It's not like I can't read really fast, It's that my arms practically die on harder patterns really really quickly. It's like my homies stamina in bed. It's almost non exsistant (Sorry for the Sex joke)

[@shani1328]

@@marioglitchy64_original I mean you could try doing less arm and a lot more wrist motion since using ur wrists is easier and faster than arm on fast parts. What I do is use a lot of wrist on fast sections then lots of arm on slow sections.

are there any better grips for index controllers than the defualt grip?

[@shani1328]

Kinda, some people like garsh have a variant of default grip for index but for the most part people use default grip. Whats you issue with default?

[@burritopuppy]

@@shani1328 i dont have any issue with defualt i was wondering if there was any other type of grip since i cant imagine any other grips than the default one

[@shani1328]

@@burritopuppy for the most part not really, its mainly default grip, some people might like playing with or without the hand strap and stuff.

What are you controller settings in Beat Saber?

[@daylanpeters-hordyski7336]

where do u get ur custom songs from

[@shani1328]

theres a mod which lets you install them ingame (on pc) or use the website beatsaver (yea saver with a v)

[@klaidaz01]

Maybe I'm just being stupid here, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to adjust player height. I'm clicking all over the place, but it's just stuck at 1.8 meters.

[@shani1328]

Where it says 1.8m, theres a ruler to the left of it, click that.

[@redx6923]

you might wanna crouch down to change it to something lower for preference

[@Rustdum]

The over-swing thing is impossible not to do in PSVR. It sucks how heavy the controllers are :(

[@shani1328]

I use index which are heavier controllers 😎

I have a question whats happening with swifterpvp, is this a hacker? Or someone who is is just incredibly good

[@shani1328]

I have no clue who swifterpvp is?

[@mrknowbody6627]

On beatsaber when you play solo and click on a song, the top ranking person on all or most songs is sifterpvp with a score of 2 billion. So I was wondering if this was a hacker and if you knew anything about this

[@shani1328]

@@mrknowbody6627 they're probs cheating, usually the max possible score is only a few million depending on the map even with all the best modifiers enabled

[@YourFriendlyCornFlake]

what are good speed maps i can practise on

[@shani1328]

Use the star system in ranked. play maps around 3*s and if its too easy work your way up.

What about wrist pain and how to fix it

[@shani1328]

for the best advice please go to a hand therapist if you have a fair bit - a lot of hand / wrist pain. I as a kid needed to strengthen my forearm mussels as that would not hold my wrist strong enough which cases inflammation for me. remember everyone is different and this was my case.
