Training accuracy with modified half time

I'm currently facing an issue where I need to increase my accuracy and perfect my ability to complete patterns without mistakes. I saw that to train accuracy, you need to play maps within your skill range, however, the problem is that such maps (4*-4.5*) have much easier patterns and are not as valuable when training for better accuracy on higher-star maps, so I was wondering if it's better just to play 5*-6* non-farm maps and adjust them with custom half-time until I can easily read and complete the patterns without misses. If I do it this way, I should be able to identify any issues I have when doing it, and once I reach high enough accuracy (95%-98%), I would then increase the speed until I can do them at normal speed with that accuracy.

I also wanted to know, when I'm doing it this way, if at all, whether I should:
1. Replay the same map until I fix my accuracy;
2. Play the same set of maps (15-20 maps) that I struggle to maintain high accuracy on, cycling through them as I incrementally increase my accuracy by 2-3% until I reach a high enough accuracy on each;
3. Play random maps, replaying them 3-4 times to fix some of my mistakes, then switch to a different random non-farm map and repeat the process until I achieve better accuracy?

option 1 is a terrible idea unless you just want a good score on a specific map; playing one map over and over stops helping your overall skill pretty fast

option 2 is just a slightly less bad version of option 1

option 3 is the most productive, although I don't really see the point in replaying the maps as much as you're planning to

there's no harm in playing the same maps again in different sessions, though, so if you do have specific maps you want to play, just play them whenever you feel like it between the random maps

also, where'd you get this idea? improving your fundamentals will help you play better across the board. as you improve, your comfort zone will naturally rise until the maps you're aiming for are within it

I don't see how learning how to correctly play every pattern on a specific map won't translate to being able to execute these patterns on different maps? Given that if I mindfully play through the entire map and manage to correct all mistakes that I make when doing different particularly hard patterns, that should translate pretty well to other maps no? I don't mean just retrying the map until I get an fc or decent score, I mean retrying the map or specific parts of it until I learn to make no preventable (non-random miss/100) mistakes, and can consistently repeat it. Also, I want to add that the maps in question are non-farm maps and are all 3+ minutes long so I shouldn't be able to just rely on muscle memory since it's too big.

playing a map more than once rapidly becomes less productive past the sightread, since you're only memorizing the patterns in the context of that map, rather than learning those patterns in general

Okay, that makes sense, but what if I only took the patterns that I have trouble completing accurately and consistently and played them separately until I mastered them? Would that be a good idea?

if u actually have individual patterns that are THAT hard for u to process (specifically process, mind you; for other challenges the issue will be more mechanical) then that might help with those patterns

other than that though that sounds highkey useless because no context IS a context in and of itself and ur hardly ever gonna see hard patterns with no context in actual maps; a good deal of the difficulty of most patterns actually comes from the fact that u also had to play another hard pattern right before that one and there's another difficult pattern right afterwards as well, playing every pattern consistently in succession is very different from playing each one individually

what lewski said, no context is in it of itself a context. besides, to even have a chance of effectively learning the pattern, you'd have to recreate the pattern in every possible combination of tempo, position, spacing, ar, etc., which is just way more trouble than it's worth compared to just, you know, playing maps organically and filling the gaps in your skill normally over time. osu is not an instrument, so treating it like one isn't really useful.
