Hey. Got a quick question. Recently I've seen alot of players being able to do those extremely fast streams. I switched from left hand: y (red) and x (red) ; right hand: , (blue) and . (blue) to left: y (red) and x (blue) ; right: , (red) and . (blue) playstyle to increase my streaming accuracy (which worked out for me) and to be able to get those really damn fast streams done.

Beatmap example with those streams: mad machine.

However, I am barely able to stream nearly as fast enough for only a short amount of time.
Whenever I watch a replay of someone mastering these streams I ask myself: how in the world are they doing this? I am playing for probably about a year in taiko mode, from 5 - 10 stars (even if I fail) to practice, and I simply CAN NOT make these streams. Is there a trick to it? If I stream that fast, my fingers don't go like one after another anymore, and rather slowly start to tap at the same time.
It's hard to explain. But let me try:
normal streaming: left, right, left, right.
Extremely fast streams: left, right, left right, left right, leftright, both, both, both, right, right, left. Pretty much like that.
How do the pro's keep their alternating speed and accuracy up for such a long period of time?
Is there a trick for those fast streams, like maybe spamming both buttons at the same time as fast as possible or anything that could help me slowly master these streams too?

Is maybe my setup unhandy for those streams? Should I maybe switch my buttons from y (red left), x (blue left), , (red right), . (blue right) to y (red left), x (blue left), , (blue right), . (red right) or any other combination?

If anyone got any useful tip or idea what could work, please let me know.

by the way, I already learned by playing how to break up streams into small parts.
For example I read blue-red-red-red-blue streams which loop, like this:
blue. red,red,red. blue.

Is maybe my setup unhandy for those streams? Should I maybe switch my buttons from y (red left), x (blue left), , (red right), . (blue right) to y (red left), x (blue left), , (blue right), . (red right) or any other combination?

As long as you have one don and one kan in each hand the layout is solely dependent on your own preference.

One handy trick to stream fast for short periods of time is to use your wrists (move them up and down), it should give you a little more speed but it seriously strains your hands.
The speed over long streams simply comes by playing more

There is no trick, really, you just get used to it after a while. I had a hard time controlling accuracy at the beginning as well, but then after you get the grasp on the streams, you're able to hold them for much longer and with better accuracy because you've gained significant coordination with both hands, unlike at the beginning that (me in this case) I would double tap monocolour streams because I was unable to coordinate both hands so one would overlap over the other and I'd end up hitting big notes on a stream lol

Anyway, the advice is the same as for every gameplay problem: play more

To be fair, Mad Machine (If you're talking about the standard mapset) is stupid in terms of streaming for taiko at least. I wouldn't worry too much if you can't hit those streams, especially at your level. Stick to taiko-exclusive maps

This.

You can start by kdkdkd or kdkdk.
And goes around trying hardest things.


Or, You can start by ddk kkd (easiest way).


Anyway...
Why you are trying to play Mad Machine?
Everyone knows that this beatmap a hell

Mad Machine...
