I feel as though I am hardstuck somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 stars without much prospect of improving. Sadly the relationship of stars to "difficulty" seems to be very loose indeed as I know some low 2 star high bpm maps that are far harder than a map 1-1.5 stars higher. In this respect it is very difficult to measure progress using stars.
I'm able to read notes that go back on themselves or are out of order better than I could I guess, but they still feel like a cheap trick and if notes appear out of order close together I can't see what order they appeared in. Jumps aren't too bad and I can do jumps on maps harder than I can clear. High bpm (~190+) definitely an issue. some maps even within the 2.5-3.5 range I class an unplayable, either because of being simply unreadable, or having no/questionable beat.
Is there anything specific I can do that would help with breaking through this barrier?
