If you play HR only, you'll get better at it and suck at AR9
If you play AR9-AR9.X only, you'll get better at it and suck at other ARs
If you play both, it'll take you longer than normal to achieve anything but at least you can play both.

This should be obvious right from the very start
This does not address OP's question. As Khelly pointed out, if he only plays HR why does it matter how well he does at other ARs?



If you want to get good at this game, then it is too early for you to pick up HR. Your rank indicates that you didn't progress to a difficulty-level where the patterns get a bit more complex (past 4*). You probably can't stream accurately yet or singletap/alternate higher BPMs, your reading is lacking, your accuracy is bad, your sense of rhythm is most likely underdeveloped in comparison to players that are 80k ranks above you. All of these things are needed if you want to get good at this game, and they are really hard to pick up on if you keep playing only HR. The most effective way is to grind your way up with nomod and slowly adjust your AR and OD upwards.

Playing HR excessively at your level will not be beneficial in the long run. I didn't start playing HR until I was around 6k.

I didn't imply this at all but I haven't seen someone who got better or at least retained their original skill at playing AR9s when they quit playing it.

No it doesn't. Ar9 is irrelevant when talking about hr.

Also jesus christ fix your accuracy lmao. Maybe work on that before you continue with HR.

I've only recently found out that i have played with massive audio delay for my entire playtime which is the main reason for my shit accuracy. That was like 4 days ago and my accuracy has already gone up by almost 3 %

OP asks the question "Should I play HR or both HR and AR9? Would HR only/not learning AR9 just hinder me?" so it does include AR9. I gave him an answer.

Thank you this was the most helpful answer in this thread that wasn't just bashing me :) I will listen to your advice.

no problem and good luck with picking up on AR9 again! You'll be able to relearn it way faster than you think. Keep at it :)

my accuracy with hardrock is fine. I usually get like 95%
My average accuracy is so bad mainly because i have been playing with massive audio delay until recently and never noticed.

95% on od6+HR hard is garbage tier. Even on od10 95% is pretty shitty tbh. There are only a handful of maps I'd consider 95% decent on and only with HDHR and you wouldn't even be able to pass them nomod.

your accuracy is utter trash. Dont think that it isnt. If you cannot at least (absolute minimum) get 97% on basically everything that you get close to fc, then you have dogshit hardrock acc. Sorry if this comes off as harsh, but you obviously dont get it. Do not play hr yet if you want to get remotely good at this game

Do wt ever you want, but preferably I advice you be a balanced player and learn both ar 9 and ar 10
When I say learn I mean get good acc and be reasonably consistent with that acc, and when I say good acc I mean at least 97%
winber1
you guys all forgot to scale his accuracy to the in class curve, which would make it a 99.5% accuracy

silly gamers

what does happens if i use hard rock?

All map parameters get multiplied by 1.4, meaning that circles will appear later and approach circles will be faster, circles will be smaller, the hitwindow for 300s gets smaller and health drain becomes stronger.
