I used to be impatient with maps that are 1k+ notes, and wouldn't retry them. Now I straight up retry them without blinking with hd/hr on, no matter how far in the song I am. Even if I get a bunch of 100's at the end and I know I can improve the score, I instantly pound the retry button. The satisfaction you get from grinding a map for 20-30 minutes and finally getting a solid FC is a nice feeling. I never liked doing it, and would just play a map 2-3 times and move on if I didn't full combo. I finally took a step back to see why I was plateauing so hard, and noticed that I put no WORK into the game. I just played random stuff and expected to get better. I was wrong. Now I grind a map for 100 retries that is 1100 notes long for 35 minutes and it is perfectly normal to me. I am way better now than I was two weeks ago due to playing 100% hd/hr only with the intent to full combo. If I see a song or map set that I like, I go for it. I am a lot happier as a player now I think. My play has gotten noticeably crisper and more accurate.
