So.. how do you approach streams?
do you keyboard mash through hit hoping for the best ?
Do you actually try to read each note? do you alternate through the entire stream?
just interested how other players stream

You start learning it by counting time and alternating fingers according to it.
With experience it begins to become automatic and you just hit at the right speed. It's a combination of experience (knowing what note to end on comes mostly from experience, for example) and just training to alternate to the beat.

I started off by counting in my head and alternating fingers, outside of playing, to get as accurate as possible.

I try to feel the BPM and start streaming. I mostly fail.

I look at them as a bunch of notes that I have to hit twice as fast as the notes I am single tapping.

Usually I try to approach them at a rate of 9 but 8 is fine too. Any higher or lower than that and you'll probably run into problems.

Listen to the beat of the song. Streams are usually fourths of the beat, so use the beat as a guidance to help stream.
Also, when you are in a middle of a stream, don't stop or slow down. Keep tension in your fingers and carry on in the stream, because freezing or slowing down midstream is the lead to a bunch of 100s or 50s in your score.

Nothing wrong with a full 100 stream - I do it all the time.

Give them a donation or a sub so a message pops on stream and hopefully the stream senpai will notice you

I have a bad habit of starting every triple and stream early. Unless it's od7 in which case I have good acc.

Don't fool yourself on this one; your acc doesn't get better as the OD gets lower.

My stream accuracy sucks because of a general lack of finger control, accuracy, and losing the rhythm on long streams. But I'm pretty happy because I just need to practice more to get better, until 2 weeks ago I couldn't literally couldn't stream at all.

Although I still have problems managing both hands, I seem to focus on either streaming and acc or aiming, so my aim sucks on stream maps and vice versa.

The % values do; my timing doesn't

Good thing the %values are meaningless.

so you mean 98% acc on an od7 song will give less pp than my 92% on od8?

Okay

Why are you even bringing pp I didn't mention anything close to it wtf

Doesn't matter if you get 99% OD10 on a slider heavy map or 92% OD7 on a circle only map, your accuracy is the same. You don't magically get more or less accurate depending on the map's OD.

That's what I was saying though? The % accuracy changes but my timing doesn't.

I focus on the first approach circle heading to the first end of the stream and follow try to follow the beat.

There are certain streams that piss me off where I pray I don't collapse on or hit too many 100's and it is always the ones that don't go in a straight line.

Now THOSE make me rage
