Mrekk Tapping Style

Hello!

I want to increase the bpm I can stream at. Just to preface, I stopped playing for pp years ago--I have been exclusively playing 7~8+ star stream maps, as those are the only maps I find fun, so I place less emphasis on any bad habits I may develop as someone playing maps way past their skill range if I ever try to play maps actually within my FC'ing capability.

I've been able to stream ~210 BPM comfortably, and really want to learn how to stream up to 240 BPM because those are extremely fun to me. For reference, I enjoy maps anywhere from firelight/euphoria to everything will freeze/bison charge, etc.

Of course, mrekk is among many pros who pour thousands of hours into the game, and I do not. Nonetheless, I noticed his style of tapping (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b30Qh6rexL4&t=92s&ab_channel=mrekk) and thought about trying to replicate it. Currently, I've been trying to strictly move my fingers while keeping my wrist stationary, but it seems that I can't get much faster at this point.

It seems like he quickly rotates his wrist and perhaps some of his arm back and forth to achieve faster speeds. I wanted to know from any experienced players if this observation is correct about mrekk, and if it's possible for me to start gradually rotating my wrist and incorporating it into my playstyle to achieve higher BPM streams. Or, if there are any other suggestions those would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I think he does definitely rotate his wrist. I have quite a bit of 240 stamina, enough to play all of the maps you mentioned, and I at least partially rely on rotating my wrist when streaming high bpm.
