So everyone knows the age old advice of "don't retry" and it's been working wonders for my consistency lately. When I play a new song I feel like as long as I'm focused I can be really in the moment with the beatmap and I get almost all my FCs on first or second try of songs.
Here's the problem. Sometimes I want to play a song again (after I play it through a full time first) right away because I want to try and hit a pattern that confused me, or maybe I just messed up this one part and I could FC if I fixed it. On that second, or god forbid third try, I play much worse because I'm anticipating too much. I feel like because I know what's coming, I'm probably going to freeze up on that stream or start playing too quickly. Not even just with the specific part I wanted to fix, but with the song in general.
On the contrary, when I sightread it feels more tense but also more smooth and like I'm relying on my abilities rather than memory.
Any tips for this?
How can I "refresh" my reading for the occasional retry?
