I am. I have been playing a lot recently and I'm not getting any better at streams. I keep failing at streaming parts. If I could improve by playing normally, I wouldn't ask that question. I just wanted other people's opinions on it and you could just get out of my topic instead of posting a stupid reply like that

How else do you expect to get faster? Do you think reading a block of text will somehow give you the ability to play fast? You need to practice to get faster. There is nothing else to it.

Did you even read my post? I asked for ways of practicing streams other than playing normally. Can't you just be a little more helpful?

From my current standing, I shouldn't be talking about this but fuck it

When I try to play practice stream maps, I tend to rely on AR of the first hitcircle and I proceed to continually stream the next notes with a constant speed. Another tip would be relying at music. Tap with the rhythm, and keep doing it. It would be hard to pull off in overmapped stuff like Big Black and Mythologia's End but it would might improve your accuracy

He's right. Practice, not read

Practice more.

Alternatively, give up.

I feel your pain, I was born with cursed fingers.

Try practicing stream practice maps nonstop for at least 2 hours. Although be careful, my fingers can take this abuse like nothing since I've been playing for a long time, but you would probably need to take a few days of break before doing it again. Also, try your best to not tense up so much when playing maps with long streams. Be sure to stretch your forearm/fingers sometimes. Considering how slow you are, I'd say you just aren't used to the motion, you'll probably improve pretty fast like this as long as you calm down and don't mash.

it seems like you can't stream anything past 160 BPM.
The best way to exceed that limit is to mash.
relax your fingers and press the buttons softly but really fast.
Keep doing it untill you can mash 170 BPM then you keep mashing faster and faster.
Now you can mash your way up to 190, mashing 170 BPM is a joke to you. (hopefully)
NOW try to stream as SLOW as you can without getting 100's on the specific stream BPM.

Take this advice with caution.

Mashing is a really bad habit.

What exactly is mashing?

Try grinding those at the highest bpm you can manage if you want to increase your streaming speed. To increase stability though, try streaming at around half speed (160/2=80).
Or you could do what I did and play Freedom Dive [4D] on HT over 500 times. It did help me... I can stream at 270bpm.

you mean you can mash 270! hitsounds are killing me

op: grind stream practice maps like a maniac. literally the only way to get good. also try to increase in small steps and not big ones,so you can manage to keep control of fingers and stream well...best would be to set the practice maps to od10 aswell but that will frustrate you so its up to you

Problem is that my 160 BPM lasts two seconds :) But I practiced for one and a half hours today. My arm hurts now but I will improve quick if I keep practicing like this :D

Hey I've been in your position and I still am, rank 5,800 and I can barely stream 210.. I suppose that's not terrible, but when I was at your rank I had the same problem, couldn't stream past 160 BPM. All I'm gonna say is download a shit ton of stream maps, make a stream map collection and play stream maps for at least 1 hour every day, you'll improve. As long as you have something to make up for your lack of streaming (in my case, hit accuracy and really good jumping) you should be okay.

Obviously practise... But for me I found that when I switched from my rubbish keyboard to a mechanical one that on the day the mechanical one was delivered I had already improved ALOT just from changing keyboards. I think it's important to practise with decent equipment or your just wasting time. I got a repetitive strain injury from practising with my old keyboard and my streaming never improved. However now I feel I can really focus on not mashing and other streaming techniques

I got RSI from playing with red switches.
Improve? I think not.

You guys got RSI because of however wrong you were using your hands, not because of your keyboards.
