I hate Betrayal.. most days I can't do any better than teens PA with several misses, other days I can low SDG until the very end gets me because of nerves. There's no technique just blindly mash the song until you get lucky one day.
i find betrayal to be pretty easy and i can consistently get teens PA on it. unlick reality which is loads harder lmao i dont think ive broken 20s PA and when i do i have tons of averages and misses
Find a slow streamy file (like Quasar) and keep increasing the rate by 0.1 until you find a rate that's difficult to AA. The reason I say to pick a slow file is so that the bpm doesn't increase by a ridiculous amount each time you jump up a rate, i.e. you want a pretty low delta. Quasar being 155bpm will increase in speed by 15.5bpm for each subsequent rate, whereas something like Reality will increase by 26bpm. A notch up in speed by 15.5bpm is much more manageable than something like 26bpm, which might feel like an astronomical jump when reaching freakishly high bpms.
Start playing around on Quasar 1.3 and see how far up you can get. Pick a few other streamy files too, you can even consider working backwards by playing some faster files (#est, Disregard) on 0.9 rate until 1.0 truly becomes comfortable.
I have speed. I just don't have elite speed. If I can combo something, I can AAA it. I can combo/AAA up to about 250 bpm but once I hit 250 bpm I fall apart and can't even combo it. That video is 5 years old and I probably can't do that anymore, but I can probably come close (20 - 25 perfs or so)
ps best way to gain speed is play hayden's mei on stepmania .9x, then 1.0x, and eventually 1.1x. plus every time you increase the rate on it it goes up by a constant 20bpm, so easy to keep track of what you can do/can't do and the jumpstream on it is only in the beginning for around 30 seconds so p easy to close it and restart when you mess up. do it daily and youll get speed in jumpstream
or do skorx9's emerald sword on like 1.3x~ for streams

oop i dont keep track of people and their scores haha. sick sdp btw
ive been stuck at 260bpm for the longest time but thats more because i havent really challenged myself to get faster. doing what owa said though should help for sure. play just beyond what you're capable of until it becomes doable every time then repeat
