  • Hey, everyone! Sorry for not getting another vid out until now. Was a bit stressed/busy this week. I tried to include as many rhythm games as possible but I also needed to use games I knew well enough to exemplify, so hopefully I did an okay job at that haha.
    I've been really wanting to do some kind of video about accuracy, so hopefully, you will find this video helpful and I wish you all the best of luck!

    You didn't mention one aspect that has become really important to me recently - optimising your skin and playing with your hitposition/judgment position values. A properly optimised skin for your reading habits can literally cut your Perfect count in half and a poorly optimised skin (which is less easy to detect than you'd think!) can cause accing anything much harder.

      I like higher notespeed because it gives you less time to think about and hyperfocus on the notes, which has caused me to mess up many times in the past. Also I only play like 2-3 hours every 2 days, not every day and I still got to top 1,000 in the USA in osu!mania, you dont need to practice literally every day as that can lead to injuries later on depending on the rhythm game you play.

      I'm a prime example of not following those guidelines. I get bored, lose focus, and generally do NOT enjoy playing for accuracy at all, so instead I focus on HP passing stuff. My acc is a complete dumpster fire because of it.

    • @Bobbias
      @Bobbias 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      My understanding is that in mania, you should practice accuracy on stuff you can 98 or higher, because anything less than around that means you're struggling to hit the patterns correctly.

    • @Halogenvsrg
      @Halogenvsrg 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @That one guy You can only build precision with confidence. If you're playing things "at your skill level" and slamming things in terms of accuracy, then chances are your skill level is higher than where you might believe it is and you might be able to push upwards a little bit for the best gains. Conversely, you shouldn't be putting a focus on accuracy on things that you are barely able to handle either -- you're wasting time building precision on things that you truly cannot handle.
      I've always been a proponent on playing easier content on significantly tighter windows *ideally - J7, as the windows are congruent to J4 being exactly half the size) to get acclimated to the window's tightness itself. I equate this concept to different types of training mechanisms in sports where you deliberately inhibit your capabilities and use that as a simulation of "normal conditions" so that when you return to actual normal conditions, it feels substantially easier to tolerate.

    • @Halogenvsrg
      @Halogenvsrg 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Bobbias 98 is a little steep in my opinion, but it's not too far off. I generally aim for 97% on Etterna on normal plays before trying to kick up .05 rate, and 99%+ for trying to hone in on precision via J7. The main takeaway is that everyone has methodologies that work for them and so long as you utilize common sense for your abilities, you should see improvements.

    Although, practicing Hard Rock in Standard Osu only improves your ability to read and be accurate on high AR, but it doesn’t improve your ability and accuracy on low AR. More rather, it worsens your accuracy and reading due to the very slow approach rate of the circle, causing you click early often times. This is why practicing in Hard Rock is not recommended for new players in Osu who are only able to play 4* star maps as it will ruin their accuracy and reading from the low AR. New players are advised to wait until they are able to play 5.5*+ maps or at least reach a rank beyond 20k, somewhere where they are able to read higher AR than they usually do before in AR8. This is so that more experienced players have the experience of low AR ingrained in their minds, and are able to practice high AR for more complexity in the future.

    Well as far for Osu! (std gamemode) if a player tries using HR while he isnt that consistent/good alredy, he will get bad habits because you will also have an higher AR and CS. The CS ofc helps with aim, but the AR can turn bad players into bad habit monsters due to the fact they will only be able to play high AR after that.
    Edit:
    As a tip if you think hr is too hard for you but you still wanna improve on acc, you can edit the OD of a map in the editor. As a sideeffect you wont gain any pp because the map will be counted as unranked then, its still useful for training.

    1:44 Accent notes in Guitar Hero Drums are also a thing; scores vary based upon whether the note is meant to be hit harder or with less velocity.
    2:05 Applies to Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Phase Shift (especially the third one), etcetera.
    3:07 Do this in Rock Band/Guitar Hero, and you lose your streak unless you're only tapping the fret buttons.
    3:47 Phase Shift has 'V.Early', 'Early', 'Perfect', 'Late', and 'V.Late' notifications (and a percentage of the three types at the results screen) for when notes are hit. This is an optional thing.
    5:30 It is also just as important to have well-maintained peripherals. Actually, that is more important.

    In osu, its UR not AR. AR is "approach rate" which determines how fast notes appear, while UR is "unstable rate" which determines your average inaccuracy across all notes in a song. Sub 100 UR is excellent accuracy. Osu also has the hit accuracy bar along the bottom of the screen which shows you in real time if you are hitting late or early, hits before the center of the bar are early while hits after are late. If you're an osu player working on accuracy, INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE BAR SO YOU ALWAYS KNOW IF YOU ARE LATE OR EARLY.

    One of my favorite ways of practicing accuracy is by getting rid of your audio and increasing your note speed (maybe even song speed) by a lot, If you are feeling brave you could try maxing it out. In rhythm games, You hit the notes to the beat, You probably already know that however if you didnt now you do. So sometimes you dont even need to look at the place where you hit the notes. What getting rid of your audio does is it makes it so you cant time notes to the beat and you have to look at the place where you are hitting notes and press it with your vision guiding you. And the reason why you max out your note/song speed or at least increase it by a lot is so its harder to time and read the notes. This will help with accuracy,reading and even speed.
    By the way this may not help with all rhythm games as some are different than others and also i think there are some rhythm games which doesnt allow you to change note speed/song speed.
    Though hope you find this helpful in some way.
    EDIT: I've revisited this video 2 years later and I saw this comment by my 2 year younger self. This comment is so stupid, please don't listen to the "advice" in this comment, the entire purpose of rhythm games is to press notes, circles, whatever to the beat, so you should be practicing that more than anything for accuracy, getting rid of your audio entirely and playing off of visuals is ineffective and ruins the entire point of rhythm games. The rhythm should be your number 1 priority when going for high acc.
    I don't know what was wrong with me 2 years ago.

    I would like to highlight about "taking advantage of the early and late feedback". This is applicable for Greats and Goods in Maimai.
    For those who play Maimai DX:
    Appearantly, while clearing a song with 0 misses alone will result in a Full Combo, clearing a song with 0 Goods and 0 Misses will result in a "Full Combo+". I assume that the single digit greats is a notable sign that you are close to achieving an All Perfect. If you are struggling to achieve an All Perfect in any song, just keep trying, be patient. Be aware of the "FAST" and "SLOW" under the Great and Good judgement text. Your FC will improve in either an FC+ or an AP. Hope this helps.

    In DDR and Stepmania you can also ghost step on the center pad instead of on an arrow, this'll make it easier if you want to ghost-step on higher difficulties and you'll avoid accidentally stepping on an arrow that's close to one in-game. I found that just tapping my foot on the center or bending my knee(s) to the song's speed/rhythm/BPM at the start (before any arrows appear) helped me get into rhythm much easier.

    Coming from a musical background, I found that most of these tips where a given. I often focusing more on maintaining tempo and subdividing.

    i remember the first time i played an "normal" diff map on quaver, I thought that normal would be a good place to start, boy I was wrong. The first few days of playing quaver, after each session, my vision looks like the middle is animated, like how you would watch the videos where you would stare at a dot for 30 seconds without blinking and the background moves and tells you to look around and your vision turns and twists, it was like that except it was happening in the middle due to the scrolling in the middle for the first few days. 3 weeks after, my eyes have accustomed to the scrolling and I try to at least play an hour each day. Now i can consistently reach 85% - 94% on normal levels from 04.00 - 06.50. I have been watching many vsrg youtubers to improve my mechanics when I'm taking a break time to time. Thanks Etienne!

    Step 1: Sight read the song by playing it from beginning to end without hitting restart.
    Step 2: Play the song from beginning to end to get 5 stars on the song (if not completed during Step 1).
    Step 3: Play the song from beginning to end to try and get an FC (Full Combo without breaking your streak) AND 5 stars.
    If you’re not able to get an FC on the song you played, play the song a day later.

      Certain games song difficulty may be higher or lower than what is suggested. In Pump It Up Prime 2 I can get A on a couple 18s but struggle on certain 16s. Force yourself to do songs that are one or two difficulty higher than what you currently do. If no fail is not enabled, save it for your last song because practice is what will ultimately get you to the next level. You won't get great scores at first, but you will get better with practice. It took quite a bit of time for me to transition from being able to do 14s to doing 15s. Some of it comes from actual movement speed and part of it also comes from patterns. Best of luck.
