good advice, but advanced technique. Learning to cheat patterns is a pretty necessary skill, but not until you start getting into stuff that's too dense to hit normally

Try flash player 9. It has the fasting input recognition imo.

How? Chrome auto downloads and update my adobe flash player?

This is more mindset rather than physical stuff, and you probabaly are still at the point where you can just mindlessly play without specific focus and still improve (e.g. play more), that being said,

My tip is to set goals for yourself, that you actually want to achieve, that way it's more motivating to improve and accomplish them (things like getting a good score on a song you like that's too hard, for example)

A big mistake of mine recently is that I forgot to just have fun and to play hard songs I liked, I was way too focused on "gotta get that d7 score, gotta level up etc" that I forgot what was really enjoyable in the first place.

Gonna ramble for a sec, there's basically two aspects to this game, raw physical speed, and reading. Say you just trill on your desk as fast as you can, you can probably do it far faster than when you are playing - the only reason for this is your reading, you don't know how to convert what you see to muscle memory, etc etc, and to improve this, play more. A completely different thing is actual physical speed, e.g. how fast you can wrist jack, how fast you can maintain a long one hand trill etc, which is also just improved by playing more.

Basically what I'm trying to say ^ is if you really want to improve, you need to identify what is holding you back, if it's just reading or raw speed, and work to improve that by playing files to practice it that challenge you etc. This is part of the reason why stepmania is good (and the air engine now), because you can use rates to push your speed on files, without it being different to read and such.

One thing that might be interesting, I doubt you have as little of a life as I do to the read the whole thing, but one of the best arrow game players wrote like, a huuuuge essay on improvement, skillsets, difficulty etc

Re: Any Tips For Me ( Getting Better )

the power to improve comes from within! you have to believe in yourself!

also play a lot because it's fun-and you want to improve. if you play a lot just because you want to improve it may become frustrating

I tired 55 and it was to choppy, went to 60 and it solved that issue....Just trying to figure out my global offset and trying to determine if auto judge offset helps or makes it worst having a hard time telling?

Ah nice. Its the exact opposite for me. I tried 60 and was so choppy i got goods left and right. Went to 55 and now its pretty much flawless. So i assume 60 works better than 144 then?

Re: Any Tips For Me ( Getting Better )

Alright so i should keep global offset 0 and have auto judge offset on?

auto judge offset literally does what all those judge offset guides tell you to do - it just takes whatever number appears when you right click your scroll speed (on the results screen), and it sets that as the judge offset lol, thats what people just tell you to do anyways, if you were to like, read YoshL's guide

The optimal way to use auto judge offset:

1. pick a song thats easy to acc and stuff that you can read and hit well

2. turn on auto judge offset and do that

3. it sets your offset for you by saving you 3 seconds

4. woaw turn off the auto judge offset now and your offset stays!!


it doesnt change ingame or any crazy stuff, it just makes a step easier.. it should disable after it sets your offset tbh, but whatevs

O, The have i been doing it wrong then?

I have auto judge offset on all the time and once i AAA a song i right click the scroll speed and then enter the result as my global offset as an example....

one song i rememer my scoll speed was 0.5 so i entered -0.5 in global offset while still keeping auto judge offset on?

Re: Any Tips For Me ( Getting Better )

It can change from song to song, but only by fractions. It's probably best for a newer player like you to set it once and be done with it. Only when you start to get super nitpicky about you accuracy does leaving it on for every attempt of every song benefit you over not doing that.
