Hello,

I'm struggling for almost a month right now so I decided to write here.

I got problem with close jumps I used to do even 1 year ago with ease, when it comes to it I feel like I cant read it. I can beat the map with 98acc reading it easily but when it comes to particular jump with 6-8 notes pretty close to each other I just miss all of em.

Two good examples are:

When it comes to 7-8 note jump I just miss everything, weird thing is when I decided to ""test" from this moment from edit menu I did it perfectly like 5 times in a row.
Yet when I came back to play it normally I couldnt hit it again.

This one was really easy long time ago, fc'ed it in few tries, now I cant even pass first 10 seconds.

There is lots of maps I have passed long time ago and now im struggling at particular jump moments. Right now I am playing harder and faster maps with longer jumps and its all fine.

To overcome this I started playing slower maps with ar8 to improve my acc, also started to stare at notes till I click it so I'm sure I got good timing betwen pen and clicks. And after 3 weeks of it I feel overall improvment but it didnt help with these kind of jumps. Ofc I replayed maps I had problem with, watched replays, and tried to figure out if im going too fast or too slow.

I dont know how to fix it, maybe somebody had same issue or has and idea how to deal with it. Sorry for another crying topic but it doesnt seem to me like another "play more" issue.

Cheers.

Im no scientist, but not playing for a year+ and coming back will cause you to loose skill. Its a play more situation, whether you like it or not.
Sorry

Most likely reading issue. You may want to try playing low AR maps (not too low though, AR 7-8 should be fine for you).
Type in search in-game AR>=7 AR<=8 and just start playing these maps. The higher the stars the better (provided you can actually play them, not just spam).
Some of maps that should work:

If reading is really the issue here, you should find yourself hitting wrong notes on these maps, or getting lost when reading. Just play that AR exclusively for some time and when you come back to AR9+ you should be fine.

Also important note:
DON'T RETRY THEM! It will only make it worse.

Thanks for reply, I skipped lower ARs and went straight to AR9 long time ago, when I see 4-5 star songs with AR lesser than 9 I dont even play them since its so hard to read.
As I said lately I started to play lower ARs and learned to play ar8, but ar7 is still really odd.
I will follow your advice and try to play exclusively AR7-8.

PS earlier today I tried Flicker with HR this time and I hadnt got a problem with these jumps.
