Please add:
1. Flashlight cursor
2. Flashlight cursor with cursor size option
3. Hitlighting for HDFL

I think it is more beneficial to create your practice difficulties with overlaps and either use a FL cursor or a buzzslider at the start. If you extend the combo by 50 each time, you will simply practice the same part again and again without having practiced the final part ever.

Please also work on the formatting, lists centered are awful to read, just as starting paragraphs after a header with such a massive indenting is a bit weird to read. One space should suffice.
Nice effort.

Regarding your conclusion:
Back in the days, pp was determined by your ranking on each map. That means that getting that #1 with FL was actually beneficial pp-wise. As there were significantly less maps it also held a lot more prestige value. Nowadays it is a pure prestige thing that will still often go overlooked.

^I think all of these has to do with you're skin. I will consider looking into these.

I should had stated more clearly that the "Backwards Theory" and "Vararaup Method" is where it's all directly my opinion that works for me. I'm not sure if you misunderstood me but I practice the final part first with custom diff. After I FC'ed that diff which for example was the last 1/5 of the map, I would extend the combo adding the map I deleted to 2/5 of the whole map and continue till I FC'ed 5/5 of the map.

I've centered everything as it probably would solve the problem of my formatting to be painful. Nvm centering is bad

Good thing you told me about pp being determined by your ranking on each map that really helps.

Thx for Feedback :)

Nice guide/introduction to the mod.

No idea why you say the max possible to sightread It's 2'99*. https://osu.ppy.sh/s/589603 i fc this map FL the first time i played the map. I put the FL because the title. xD
I have a lot of practice sightreading the mod due to spam 1* and 2* maps to build muscle memory, and to don't be boring i add FL.

Just add, if someone it's interested on do FLHD, add hidden just after the SS FL play and replay the maps as fast as possible without think about anything. Muscle memory carry you.

True, the max isn't 2.99 stars at all it's just a barrier I thought of. Let me change that.

I've already mentioned to play without hidden first until you've confortable with playing with FL alone.

AR circles when spawn are way bigger than hitlight circles. It's what you have to read, nothing else. Not even follow points, you use rhythm to aim.
worst fl player
In short terms you said "Play more"

I hate to break it to you, but AR11+FL is heavily based on memory and it's nearly or is impossible to sightread, it takes players hundreds of retries and hours of practice to set AR11 FL plays, of course if you play short maps mapped by the same mapper you'll have some patterns memorized and it'll be easier (and you have followpoints like the essay says).
And to add on, it really doesn't matter if the essay was written 3 years ago, FL really hasn't changed much (that I know of), the best way to play FL is still memorization, especially for AR11.(little edit, I'm not saying it's impossible to sightread AR11 with FL, but it's just very very hard most of the time)

I'm convinced you're trolling. "I am a 6 digit who wants to sightread ar11 flashlight but I refuse to memorize anything or read the guide" pretty funny
