My 2 cents that no one asked for (also yes, I shall revive this thread):
I also get a lot of satisfaction from SSing maps! I’ve been playing for about a week now & would spend a lot of time SSing every map I came across. It actually helped me understand accuracy & when to click (I tend to click too early way too often).
Now, though, I haven’t even played any maps above 2.5 stars because I’m spending so much time SSing all the easy maps. So, I’m currently just focusing on FC with 98%+ accuracy (anything below just frustrates me, hahaha). And now I’m finally slowly sizing up my comfortable star difficulty!
Just saying that I totally get why / if you enjoy SSing maps (because same) & it’s great for when you’re a beginner learning the mechanics & gaining skill, but it’ll stump your growth in the long run.
I know this thread if from 4+ years ago & you’re probably rank #12 rn & literally no one asked for my opinion BUT in case some newbie stumbles across this form, hopefully this helps!
