Be careful saying this. One of the most important things about improving in mania is actually to break out of your comfort zone. Many people mistakenly believe that unless they get high As or S's they can't really 'play' something. In mania, you should make sure you are playing songs over a wide range of difficulty, based on the score you can achieve on them. You should make sure to play songs you can C or B as well as songs you can A and S. Playing songs you can only manage a C or a B on will help you improve quicker than playing only things you can A or S. Playing songs you can A or S will primarily help you improve your accuracy, but not your overall ability to play harder things, whereas focusing on songs you can only B or C is going to help you learn to play harder patterns much faster, but will not improve your accuracy on things you're already relatively good at nearly as quickly. The best approach is probably to keep a good balance between these.Shiro wrote:

This is basically necessary. Mania specific maps have very different patterns than autoconverts. Autoconverts do not pay attention to things such as layering multiple rhythms at once, or following pitch properly. Patterns created with layering often require much more individual finger dexterity because you may find one hand playing a completely different rhythm than the other hand, which can be very difficult at first. Patterns which follow the pitch are actually easier to understand than autoconvert patterns, but can sometimes be a bit tricky when they are mixed with other patterns.Shiro wrote:
Overall, play mania-specific diffs rather than converted ones, too.

Uhh...play more xD
You need to be able to see the notes and not have to think about what keys to hit, once you reach that point, you'll get better at 7k. I was terrible at 7k up until a month ago (when I no longer had to think about what I was hitting), and now I'm equally as good at 7k as I am at 4k.
Except a massive percentage of charts use easy judge which is actually pretty large relative to iidx timing. Easy is closer to stepmania timing, normal is closer to iidx (but still slightly more lax)Bobbias wrote:
LR2 is always going to be hard if you're moving from playing mania. LR2 has very unforgiving timing, and BMS files often have patterns that play very differently from what you see here.

and I mean, SWEAT IT OUT GUYS! not only in mania, but also in the gym, or basketball, or anything that will sweat you.
I guess so but it isn't notable enough to make a big improvement in terms of playing ability for 7k lol.Tristan97 wrote:

^This. Being in shape improves all of your general bodily functions, including finger tapping ability.
