I've read bunch of topics on forum about players inconsistency after I noticed that I have certain problems with FCing maps.
I've been playing with mouse around 5 months and switched to tablet (took me 1.5 months to get used to it and get to mouse level btw, which is exceptionally long judging by huge amount of "I got used to tablet in 2 hours" comments). I did not notice problems on mouse, because I was improving really fast, but on tablet I got stuck on 50k (and still there).
So, problem is consistency, obviously. What I mean by it is that I can't get high acc even on moderate OD and also can't FC almost everything.
About acc: I've been plaiyng first 3 month on 0 offset, then noticed that I was clicking earlier most of the time so I set offset to +40ms, which was most comfortable for me and my acc went up to 97-98%. Around 5th month of playing I got to 5* maps where big jumps is usual thing and around this time read some posts about "NEVER CHANGE OFFSET UNTIL YOU ARE UNDER 5K BECAUSE IT"S YOU SUCK, NOT GAME" and set it back to 0 offset. That was painful, but I actually almost got used to it, but still clicking 5-10 ms earlier which hurts acc on 8.5+ OD. Problem is, I did "pick offset setting map, close your eyes, turn off hitsounds and click when tick sound played" and got 35-40ms difference (and also did same thing on Crypt of the Necrodancer settings and it consistently showed 36ms error).
About FCing stuff: My aim is kinda good (can do full screen average bpm jumps most of the time) - so I can pass (B or A, up to 97% acc) some jumpy 6* maps, but can't FC 4* half of the time, missing 1 or 2 notes. Watching replays showed that my cursor 90% of time arrives at circle in time, but I didn't clicked in time, which led to miss. So, I guess, main problem here is coordination of my left and right hand.
My questions are:
1) Is it my PC problem, my ear/sence problem or just reaction problem? So in 1st and 2nd cases I probably should set offset to comfortable, but in 3rd case I should get used to 0 offset.
2) What is the solution to choke problem?
What I gathered on forums:
*Play more (obviously)
*Pick higher OD
*Play longer maps
*Do not repeat maps, fail/choke = go to another map and repeat this map only after some period of time
Last 2 points successfully used by me, bit first 2 have problems:
*Play more - I saw post, where was stated that you should pick difficulty which you can do 98-99% and grind these, playing harder maps giving skill but not consistency, and also it was recommended to play with HD to improve not reaction, but ability to listen music. Is that true? For me it will be either 4-4.99* maps with HD (which I still can rarely 98%, more 95-97%) or 5*+ nomod (for me it's usually 90-95% acc) depending on veracity of statement above.
*Pick higher OD - that comes to problem with offset.
Thanks in advance.
