Hi everyone,

While you can the change universal offset with the offset wizard, you can also change the local offset of a specific map with the + and - keys during playing.
In the results screen you can view "hit error" and "unstable rate" info by hovering your mouse over your accuracy rate.

Suppose my hit error is -12ms +40ms.
Is this an indication i have to change the local offset of the map or does it only mean i'm hitting the circles too late?

if you're hitting too late it obviously means you have to change your offset (-12 ~ +40 is the worst hit error i've ever seen tho holy shit)

what

my average offset is like +-18 ms, and it feels like I'm following the rhythm

40 > 18 right?

Thing is you usually get similar - and + numbers, if you're getting -10 +40 then you're probably having some big issues with offset. (I guess...)

Changing universal offset is opposite though.

If you're getting -12 to +40 on only one map, that means you need to use + offset on that specific map. Maybe around +14?
If you're getting -12 to +40 on EVERY map, that means you need to change universal offset, but use the opposite of what you used for the map specific, so -14 instead.

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

That number only shows the range of your hits/misses. If you're really inaccurate, it won't be an accurate way of calculating what universal offset to use.
Personally, I'd leave offset at 0 unless you can feel that it really is off, and change it slowly until you find the 'sweetspot' where you can achieve better accuracy.

Pretty much this. I played around the offset thing very often just to get more SSes on old maps.

I only add -10 when playing taiko DT+HD if the SV is really high because I know I'll be hitting too late.

Although, should I be adding +10 instead? I'm confuzzled.

+10 as Local Offset, or -10 as Universal Offset.

Failing streams (hitting too slow or too quick) will inflate your hit error.
