I was recently playing this map that at high acc and fc is worth 677pp, I managed to get a 400pp play on it but ngl it really is doable for me, but everytime i get to halfway with around 98% acc and a fc I just fold and miss which spirals into me losing a lot of acc, so I was wondering how do you guys overcome this? would really like to know and see if it helps me, Kippis!

i always play long maps in order to avoid nerves when i'm in a middle of a top play. it's a good way to get used to stress whenever you're about to have a good score. this is why i almost never retry spam because i'll be mindblock and that's not good for me

I doubt there are many people who wouldn't get nervous FCing a 700 pp map when their top play is barely 500. Frankly it's quite personality based as well. I have a lot less nerves than many people I know who have played more and longer maps. There is really no shortcut here, just play more and put yourself in situations where you have nerves (play for FCs).

grinding it out is the only way
you wont get it if you wont try to

everyone has a different way of overcoming their nerves and by observing other players and their ways you will eventually find your go to

I agree with Naiad. That's a huge milestone to try to achieve with, I doubt you'll overcome nerves on that one, even if you grind so hard.

Maybe if you improve your skills first to the point that it's too easy for you, you'll get there.

You don't really "overcome" nerves, as they'll always pop up whenever you're on the cusp of a great play (in your view). You just learn to manage to play through them. (and/or get lucky).

Mental barriers can be overcome. Sometimes it takes practice, sometimes it takes a break. That really depends on what the mental barrier is and who you are as a person.
