I've been wondering about this for a while. Personally I'm only ranked ~35k, so I can only play 5 stars tops.
But when I'm trying to practice, I'm not sure which type of map I should be playing:
3.5-4.5 maps: I can get 80%+ (usually ~90%) on my first try on the majority of this level of maps. However, I lack patience and I tend to start freaking out when I get to a high combo and mess up (I just got the 750x combo achievement today after playing for a while...). So, I usually can't FC these maps (also I play with mouse and I have trouble dealing with mouse drift on jumpier maps, which is like all 4 star+ lol
) But I feel like these are good practice in terms of being more consistent with jumps and streams, whereas the harder maps are just me struggling to read the map and not paying attention to other stuff.
4.5-5.5 maps: Most of the time I can't pass these maps on my first try. The highest map I've ever passed is only 5.34 stars. But, this level of map usually is a lot harder, and I can rarely read them until I've tried it a few times.
So the question is:
If you are just trying to get better, not going for pp, do you think it's better to grind and FC maps that are at your level, or keep trying to play maps that are currently beyond your reach until you can play them (but with poor accuracy)?
