I suck at square jumps, any tips on how to get better with them? I tried changing tablet area (usually on full area) to like 1/4 of my tablet and that's stupid as I never hit them, even with relax mod.

There's square jump prac maps too if you can be bothered looking.

I can read AR10 so I guess that reading's not the problem.
I downloaded 2 "Various Artists" mapsets of square jumps, I play them like half an hour a day but I can't do it.

ya 'k
It's because of the fucked up nature of right/obtuse angles. You find square patterns awkward because the natural train of thought when playing standard is to move your cursor in a smooth, linear fashion, or a very acute, jagged one. Since right angles are neither you might as well give up.
Reading AR10 is nothing to do with reading squares. Read each note on the square as a separate note, instead of trying to read the whole square at once.Shavit-sama wrote:

And then just play more.
Small hint: "Reading" AR10 doesn't mean your >reading< skill is good. What you do is merely reacting to stuff popping up, not actually understanding what you're doing.
You have several options:
a) Play another 30k plays more or less casually
b) practice the EZ mod which actually helps your reading in all aspects except for reacting to fast AR, but you can do that already, can't you ((((:
c) create square maps or use already existing ones and keep playing them nonstop for a few weeks

i dont know much about this game but doesn't it go like this: the higher the AR, the less reading is required? By the time you reach 10, 10.3, 11, you're not even reading anymore, just reacting.
Lower AR = more reading. That's why EZ can be so insanely difficult, because you have to comprehend what's happening in front of you not simply react to it.

i don't know why people are saying he can't "read" AR10, all it is is reacting to the notes and clicking them. its not hard and there are people with amazing reaction speeds.
he can't "true" read it but 99% of the people consider reacting to it reading it anyway.

Also, grinding square practice maps may or may not help you. If you're doing them wrong then you're just digging yourself deeper down the hole. Like people here said, treat them like individual jumps and try stopping momentarily, don't flow through squares it just doesn't work that way.
stop playing bad maps

Hmm Blue Dragon I made that thread because of your Atama no Taisou and Airman so lol
Why the heck do you think that I can't read AR10? Because I'm a "casual Israeli" which is not Aqo, Tarix or you?
I'll try that tomorrowPurple wrote:

ar10 isn't hard to read
neither is ar11
stop acting like only ranks above 30 can read it.

yea ar10 is only about shaping reaction and staying calm
well i learned squares by mostly playing ar10 i believe since it just forced me to read single notes instead of them all together

You think ar11 isn't hard to read? Well, it may be easy to read, but playing it is a different story...buny wrote:

Tell me though does being able to hit a square a few times row mean you can do squares, if so even I can do them xD can I clear the square jump map? noooooope just slap on ar 10 and focus on snapping the notes individually, overtime you'll get used to it and lower AR squares will be easier generally AR 10 singles are all reaction and no read.
I tell you what mind fk's me in 1 of the training maps it throw's in a set of Big Black slider boxes

Being able to properly do Atama squares requires an insane amount of skill and reading, you are probably years away from being able to really read that.Shavit-sama wrote:

From what I can see you also got a B on Terminal recently, there is no way to get less than an A on that map unless... well, you are not that good at reading AR 10 at all, I get a B on it and trust me on this I can't read AR 10 at all.

I mean, I can get to finish AR10 maps, I just get tired from streaming and that's another thing I work about by playing those stream practice maps in different BPMs everyday.Wishy wrote:

And learning to read well ar9 and less would be actually more helpful than ar10 in this case

Because you need to stop lying to yourself and playing bad maps because you can 'pass' them. You can read AR10 when you actually get good scores on those maps and read the patterns more so than you react to them. I don't lie to myself saying I can read AR10.3 too because I can pass 10.3 maps, it's the same. You need to play maps that are your level because you are just developing bad habits and you will end up like me, a player who can't aim for shit because all he did for 25k plays was pass ar10 and DT. So yeah maybe I can 'pass' 310bpm maps and 10.3 sometimes, but that doesn't make me a good player since I can't even FC some star stream maps and have shit reading skills.Shavit-sama wrote:

If you want to keep saying to yourself that you're awesome and pro because you can pass easy ar10 maps, go ahead, do it, but you'll just end up screwing yourself over like I did and in a few months from now you'll be sorry you didn't practice maps that you can actually play and not just maps you mash through and pass. Do as you wish. I'm not saying of course that you should stop playing high AR and DT or whatever, it's fun, but if you tell yourself "oh I can mash through ar10 maps and pass so I must have good reading skills and don't need to practice" you're firetrucking yourself over.
Personally, the only time I play those stream practice maps is just to get "into" a certain BPM and see how warmed up I am. Playing streamy maps was more comfortable for me. Streams also get hard when spacing is big/changing and it moves awkwardly (right-left, bottom-top), so you don't end up being able to press the keys but not able to follow itShavit-sama wrote:

. It's also a lot more enjoyable to play maps. I'm not saying you shouldn't play the practice maps, but it isn't worth killing yourself on since there aren't any songs with streams like that anyways, even FD has breaks.Play anything you want. This is just general reading and aim skills, stop focusing on things until you learn the basics.
AR10 a shit.
